You quickly began to study Cultivation Methods.
Having diligently Cultivated your skills for three years in the previous simulation and unlocked a special talent, you were no longer the crybaby you once were.
You bravely led your Master's wife to conquer the Peak Tournament, and your record of ten consecutive victories proved your strength as a top-tier player!
"Three years! I waited for these three years! I was waiting for an opportunity. I want to prove myself, not to show how amazing I am, but to tell others that my success today is entirely due to my talent and hard work!"
Your Master's wife also acknowledged you: "Among the Mortals I have fought, none are more outstanding than you. I declare you the strongest!"
Receiving such praise, you couldn't help but hum softly.
You held your head high with pride, as if a lion was hidden within!
Just then, your Master's wife, who was examining your body, let out a cry of surprise: "Indeed, it's the Shaoyang Body!"
"Shaoyang Body?"
"A very rare special Physique!" your Master's wife explained, "In the mundane world, it's generally called 'Golden Spear'!"
You weren't surprised, because the reward of your Golden Finger was talent, and talent itself usually manifests in learning ability and physiological characteristics.
"Xiaobai, you have great talent in Cultivation. Do you want to take me as your Master?" Your Master's wife suddenly extended an olive branch to you.
For a moment, your emotions were complex. You hadn't expected that an opportunity you had desperately sought in your previous life, working like an ox and a horse, would so easily present itself before you.
You were filled with emotion, then bowed your head in respect: "If you do not abandon me, Bai is willing to take Master's wife as Master!"
Your Master's wife smiled, and all the flowers bloomed.
"Good, good, good. Wait here, I'll be right back."
Your Master's wife rushed out the door. Although you didn't understand, you could only wait obediently.
A moment later, your Master's wife returned, bringing back someone who caught you off guard.
"Master... Master?"
Although you, currently in the simulation, were full of confidence and not afraid of being refined on the spot by Zhen Yang Daoist, the appearance of Zhen Yang Daoist still made you very uncomfortable.
However, to your surprise, Zhen Yang Daoist did not lose his temper. He merely looked you up and down with joyful eyes.
Now you were truly flustered!
Oh no, this old guy isn't into both men and women, is he?
You secretly became vigilant and decided that if Master tried to harm you, you would immediately bite your tongue and commit suicide to preserve your chastity!
Fortunately, Zhen Yang Daoist did not act out of line, but like your Master's wife, he repeatedly said: "Good, good, good!"
"It truly is the Shaoyang Body. As the Sect Leader, I permit Baihua to take him as a Disciple and Cultivate the righteous methods of my Zhenyang Temple!"
He patted your shoulder and said genially: "From now on, Cultivate well with your Master, and don't disappoint us!"
Then he left the room in a hurry.
Looking at your bewildered face, your Master's wife explained: "Although he and I are husband and wife, we are all Cultivators and understand that different methods have different Cultivation approaches, so we don't interfere with each other's Cultivation!"
"The Cultivation World is truly chaotic!" You didn't understand, but you were deeply shocked.
And you secretly decided to keep a low profile and be a quality single man.
In the following days, you began to follow your Master's wife. No, Master Baihua Niang, to Cultivate the secret methods within the temple.
Unlike your previous life as a drudge, in this life, you became a person of status in the Daoist temple.
You no longer needed to do hard labor or be ordered around. Instead, you could now order other Utility Disciples, and your residence moved from the cold, damp utility room to a wing next to Baihua Niang's room in the backyard, allowing you to seek guidance at any time.
Moreover, due to your different status, you learned more about Zhenyang Temple in this life.
You learned from Baihua Niang that Zhenyang Temple had an extraordinary origin, coming from the great Demonic Sect, Ju Yang Sect!
Within the sect, there were several secret methods, among which the Transformation Method and Dual Cultivation Method were both Medium Grade Cultivation Techniques that directly pointed to the root, originating from Ju Yang Sect's foundational Cultivation Technique!
Zhen Yang Daoist and his four Disciples Cultivated the Transformation Method.
However, only you and your Master Cultivated the Dual Cultivation Method.
The remaining dozen or so official Disciples Cultivated other methods, but were also considered Disciples of Zhen Yang Daoist.
As for the other Utility Disciples, strictly speaking, they were not Disciples, but consumables!
A month later, under Baihua Niang's careful guidance and unreserved investment of resources, you completed the process of Refining Essence into Qi.
Your essence Qi ascended from your lower Dantian, fused with a speck of spiritual light cast down from the ancestral aperture in your upper Dantian, and finally gathered in your Dantian. You could clearly feel a thin but truly existing mass of energy in your Dantian; that was True Qi, which was also Dharma power!
According to the Cultivation World's divisions of Refining Essence into Qi, Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation, and Spirit Refining and Returning to Void, you were already qualified to be called a Cultivator.
Baihua Niang was very satisfied with your Cultivation speed, repeatedly praising you as a Genius and increasing her investment in you, looking as if she had high hopes for you.
However, your heart grew increasingly uneasy, because you noticed that Baihua Niang's gaze at you occasionally revealed a hint of greed!
At the same time, you also realized your shortcomings in Cultivation.
Baihua Niang only taught you Qi Refining methods, constantly improving your cultivation, but did not teach you the principles of Cultivation, nor did she impart protective arts, and even forbade you from going out and interacting with other Senior Brothers, leading to your complete ignorance of Cultivation beyond Qi Refining.
Two years later, you broke through to the Middle Stage of Refining Essence into Qi. The Dharma power in your Dantian had already taken initial form, but you understood that you were merely outwardly strong. Without any means, you were essentially no different from an ordinary person, except that your senses were sharp and your Lifespan was long!
Five years later, you broke through to the Late Stage of Refining Essence into Qi. The Dharma power within your body was very robust, catching up to Baihua Niang's Realm. Seeing her joy, like an old farmer at harvest, you knew that your time was probably short!
Sure enough, not long after, Baihua Niang revealed her fangs!
She used some unknown method to control your body.
At that moment, her entire body exuded Holy Light, like a Fairy descended upon the world. Although she was completely unclothed, there was not the slightest hint of impurity, making her exceptionally pure and sacred!
You suddenly realized that although she welcomed everyone and was passionate and unrestrained, all of that was a sacrifice made for Cultivation!
She was actually a good girl...
