Chapter 68 is truly captivating.
"Is this thing really that powerful? It wiped out a city..."
Things always take unexpected turns. Li Qingyi stared at the text on the simulation interface, her fingertips unconsciously tapping the desktop.
The image of the entire Xuan Ce City turning into a dead zone under the explosion of talismans lingered in his mind.
He rested his chin on his right hand, his thin lips were tightly pursed, and his brows were furrowed into a deep frown.
"It's probably because I didn't control the power well during the simulation that it turned out like this."
The moment the thought crossed his mind, he decisively abandoned his plan to deal with the Foundation Establishment cultivator in the city.
Although he was not a saint, he did not want his hands to be stained with the blood of innocent people.
'And that Dao Sect elder's attitude is far too abnormal,' he thought to himself.
"Netherworld cultivators have always viewed mortals as ants. The Dao Sect didn't even intervene in the great battle among them in the suburbs a few days ago. Why are they so concerned about this particular matter?"
A jumble of thoughts swirled around her, and Li Qingyi rubbed her throbbing temples.
Could it be that this Xuan Ce City holds some secret of the Daoist sect?
Thinking of this, he felt extremely anxious.
"Why do all these messy things keep happening one after another? Can't the cultivation world be a little simpler and more beautiful?"
Can't I just stay put and develop properly for a few years, like in those cultivation novels I read in my past life? I haven't had a moment's rest since I came here over a month ago!
He's either on the run or on his way to be on the run! There's not a single day without worry!
After venting her frustrations, Li Qingyi slumped into her chair, staring blankly at the beams on the roof, wishing she could just give up and quit.
However, in no time at all, he sat up straight again and put the Green Puppet back into his sea of consciousness.
The disguise faded away like ripples on water, revealing his original handsome appearance. He then got up and went to the small courtyard in the south of the city to find Ling'er.
"My resolve is stronger than I imagined." He chuckled self-deprecatingly, but a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
"Once I achieve the Golden Core stage, I will definitely rectify the atmosphere of the cultivation world!"
During the journey, Li Qingyi began to review the reasons for the defeat in the last simulation, which mainly consisted of three points:
First, they underestimated the range of spiritual sense of the Purple Mansion cultivators, which led to the capture of Qingkui; second, Ling'er's departure cut off their intelligence source; and third, they were too hasty and failed to ascertain the Foundation Establishment cultivator's background before issuing the assassination mission, which resulted in no one taking action.
These three reasons sealed his fate.
Having sorted out his thoughts, he decided to go to the Dao Sect in his true form this time.
Judging from what happened in the two simulations, Dao Zong did not take his own life.
This only proves that choosing to go to the Taoist sect was absolutely safe.
Walking on the streets in the early morning, the simulated settlement interface reappeared in Li Qingyi's mind.
[Reward 1: Qi Refining Level 5 cultivation, which can be used to break through to Qi Refining Level 6 after extraction.]
Reward Two: Rebellious Bone. After extraction, you will obtain a piece of Rebellious Bone, which will greatly enhance your self-awareness and comprehension, and make you immune to all mind-controlling spells below the Purple Mansion level.
Reward Three: A low-grade magic treasure, the resentment of the dead in a city. After extraction, you will obtain a crystal formed from the resentment of 300,000 people. This item is extremely yin and evil. Looking at it for a long time can bewitch people and make them lose their minds.
When used against an enemy, the enemy will be consumed by resentment, unable to live or die. Those below the Purple Mansion level cannot resist it. The amount of resentment consumed after use depends on the enemy's cultivation level. Killing someone can replenish the resentment.
Reward Four: Your corpse after death...
Upon seeing the second or third reward, Li Qingyi paused in her steps.
The aroma of breakfast stalls wafted from the street, the vendors' shouts rose and fell, and a gentle breeze stirred as pedestrians brushed past each other.
But none of these caught his eye; his entire focus was on the second and third rewards.
"A crystallization of rebellious nature and the resentment of 300,000 people? Interesting..."
Options one and four are both common choices.
Basically, these were all choices Li Qingyi made out of necessity when there were no other good options available.
Rebellious bones are indeed a good thing; they can enhance comprehension and resist mental manipulation techniques below the Purple Mansion.
Upon closer examination, Li Qingyi felt that something was amiss.
My own simulator can directly improve cultivation level, so the functions seem to overlap.
But if we improve our comprehension, can we save ourselves more time for cultivation?
And being immune to control is indeed quite appealing; it would be troublesome if you accidentally offended a master of illusion one day.
but……
Reward three is not simple either.
The crystallization of the resentment of 300,000 people, a low-grade magic weapon. A treasure above spiritual treasures is a magic weapon.
Li Qingyi knew this.
only……
Isn't this filling method a bit...?
Is this too much of a demonic cultivation practice?
"I can't just go and massacre a city like that, can I?" he muttered to himself.
The product is good, but it's a bit sinister.
Furthermore, one point is not clearly stated: how much does it cost per use?
If it could be used multiple times, Li Qingyi felt it was acceptable.
His only target right now is that Foundation Establishment cultivator, and he's afraid that when he deals with that cultivator, he'll exhaust all the resentment within him at once.
Wouldn't that be a huge loss?
Li Qingyi's gaze darted back and forth between the rewards, but her steps never faltered.
He was wondering if he could deal with that Foundation Establishment cultivator without relying on this low-grade magic weapon.
However, after much deliberation, he really couldn't think of a safer solution.
Lost in thought, he had already returned to the small courtyard in the south of the city. In a moment of distraction, he bumped into Ling'er, who was about to leave.
Ling'er, who was not paying attention, was knocked to the ground by him.
Ling'er rubbed her sore arm. "Brother Qingyi, why weren't you watching where you were going!"
Pulled back to reality, Li Qingyi quickly helped Ling'er up and said with a smile, "Sorry, I was lost in thought for a moment."
"What are you thinking about?"
"Miss you."
Ling'er's ears suddenly flushed red, and she turned her face away. "Smooth talker! You never tell the truth all day long."
Li Qingyi awkwardly touched the tip of her nose, then pulled Ling'er along and walked familiarly towards Lingtai Mountain.
Ling'er tilted her head to look at him, and seeing that his gaze was always focused in front of him, she couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Is there something in front of him?
At this moment, Li Qingyi was focused on the reward panel and did not notice Ling'er looking at her.
Ultimately, he made his choice: "Reward Three!"
As his thoughts settled, the words in front of him instantly transformed into a fist-sized, dark purple crystal.
Purple light flowed above it, and wisps of white smoke rose from it, giving off a chilling aura.
Furthermore, one can see skulls of various sizes floating inside, making it look incredibly eerie.
Li Qingyi unconsciously held her breath.
"This thing is really creepy!"
The more Li Qingyi gazed at the crystal, the more dazzled and mesmerized she became.
The street scene before my eyes began to distort and change, eventually transforming into the bustling cityscape of my past life.
The familiar streetlights, the GG license plate, the passing vehicles... His lips unconsciously curled up, and his expression gradually became dreamy.
Seeing Li Qingyi's appearance, Ling'er felt a wave of dizziness.
She had no idea what Li Qingyi was thinking that made her look so silly.
"Has Brother Qingyi gone mad?"
Upon reaching the outskirts of the city, Ling'er finally realized that something was amiss.
The way he looks clearly means he's been bewitched by something!
She suddenly grabbed Li Qingyi, letting out a sharp shout, her voice like thunder:
"Li Qingyi!"
