( Author's Note : Hello guys I hope all of you are doing well and before starting this chapter , I would like to say that every time the life simulation is done there can be minor to major changes between the life simulation . This is because every time a life simulation happens and Xiao Ming moves on with his life and does new things, new changes are added in the next life simulation . So I hope you can understand what I am trying to say and if you have anything else to say do tell me in the comments section .
However I would like to remind you all that while I am open to constructive criticism please refrain from using too harsh and negative language which is not good for us as a community.
So that's all I had to say today .
And without any further ado let's start with our magical journey . )
Chapter : 60 : High Purple Grade Technique - Water Chakram :
" Alright ! Let's begin . "
With that Xiao Ming enters The Deep meditative state like he always does during a life simulation .
" "
Ding ! Life Simulation Begins :
( Day : 1 : Today you practiced throughout the day while also attending the second elders classes . By the end of the day you are exhausted and fell asleep . )
( Day : 12 : Today when you were visiting the second elder's classes you found that the class has been postponed because the second elder had been called for an important clan meeting . )
( Day : 14 : Today you went out with the Silver Arrow group in the deeper area of the outer region and encountered an extremely powerful magical beast and after a long battle you were able to defeat it . When you were about to leave the area you found that the magical beast was protecting a preserved chest and you played the biggest part in defeating the beast the group gave it to you . )
( Day : 15 : Today the first thing you did was to open the chest and found that it contained a huge amount of gold , silver and other precious materials and a broken storage ring . )
( Day : 18 : Today you finally completed 50 percent mastery over the evading fist technique . )
( Day : 20 : Today you went for your first Alchemy class in the Alchemy hall .
When you entered the classroom you were directly spotted by various other students of various age groups looking at you with recognition .
After that the teacher entered the classroom who was actually the 8th elder of the clan Xiao Bu and was specifically assigned to take the class . Then he explained everything about the future plans and options for all of you . )
( Day : 22 : Today you had a training session with the second elder and learned valuable lessons . )
( Day : 26 : Today you were informed that from now on you and everyone among your batch of students will be eligible to take on various clan missions in exchange for rewards . )
( Day : 30 : You decided to go to the mission counter to find your first mission .
Over there you found that there were multiple small and low ranking missions but the pay for those missions were too low , so you decided to look for a better mission for another day . )
( Day : 36 : Today you finally found emission with good rewards, however the job required you to go to the deeper region of Heng Mao forest .
Understanding that you did not have this strength to go over there right now you decided to cancel the mission . )
( Day : 48 : Today you heard that the imperial princess coming will be coming to the clan visit very soon . )
( Day : 52 : Today you have made a break through in the control of your Alchemist flame which became much better earning you the praise from the elders of the Alchemy division . )
( Day : 60 : Today while going through the mission counter you found a mission that required you to join a group with 5 more people and visit a mining town about 4 days away to escort some rich merchant's family .
Deciding that the risk was low and you still would have enough time before the arrival of the princess you decided to take the mission .)
( Day : 64 : You met up with the five other members of the team of whom two were your seniors and then set out with the merchant family .
Your journey was uneventful with only a few small bandit groups and wild beasts attacking the convoy .
In the afternoon while going through the valley you found a Red Drop Lilly, a medical plant used for the creation of an Alchemy pill called Fire Spirit Absorption .
You quickly took the flower and kept it with yourself . )
( Day : 66 : Today the group decided to take a small break where the senior of the group Xiao Yu decided to give some pointers to her juniors .
In this process you learned that senior sister of the group Xiao Yu was a One Star Duo Disciple who recently reached that rank .
She was also someone who specialized in water type Dou Qi and fluently showed a high purple grade technique called Water Chakram .
This technique created a continuous multiple layers of chakrams created from high speed water flow which easily cut through the boulders and other obstacles in it's way in a matter of seconds .
You are amazed by this technique and decided that once you return to the clan you would learn the technique . )
( Day : 68 : Today your group reached your destination and your task was completed .
That night while giving an excuse that you are going out for shopping you went to the market and manage to successfully trade the Red Dot Lilly for a Water Dou Qi gathering meditation mat . )
( Day : 70 : After resting for a day your team decided to head back to the clan and after some last minute preparation by the group all of you all departed . )
( Day : 74 : Heavy rainfall and a landslide blocked the roads .
Some on the team wanted to rest in a nearby village but after finding none in the nearby area the team had to settle for a cave .
However before you could reach the safety of the cave the team was ambushed by a 20 men strong dark cultivator group .
The leader of the team was a one star Dou Disciple and despite fighting in a desperate battle even with the help of your seniors present who were around the same level as the enemy commander the battle was already doomed.
You managed to take down two enemies before you were attacked by another opponent from behind.
While the group eventually manage to escape from the trap with to remaining member alive , your journey came to an permanent end . )
( End of the simulation )
{ Rewards : You may choose any one out of the three following rewards :
( 1 ) Red Drop Lilly .
( 2 ) Water Dou Qi Gathering Meditation Mat .
( 3 ) Mid Purple Grade Technique - Water Chakram .
Choose one . }
" "
Opening his eyes, Xiao Ming let out long breath and took some time to stabilize his memories from the life stimulation .
" Man ! That was exhausting . "
Gathering all the memories that he received in this life simulation Xiao Ming felt that this time it was different .
" Although I still died very quickly, at least this time I did not die in the jungle while looking for something . "
At this point the very fact that he was not going to die in the nearby Jungle while looking for some medicinal herb or getting attacked by a strong magical beast was somehow considered a selling point .
" But this time, that mission was a very important part . "
While reviewing the mission to the mining town he felt that the arrival of the dark cultivators were just too coincidental .
" Could it be possible that they already knew I was in the team? "
If it was before then he would not have considered himself a valuable target for any dark cultivator to attack specifically .
However now that he has the light Dou Qi affinity with him it makes the scenario entirely different .
Obviously he knew from the beginning that this ability could not be hidden for long, especially once he finally started going outside of the clan .
But he did not expect this to happen so soon .
But after thinking for a while he felt that perhaps he was over thinking.
" I might not have been their real target at all . "
In the simulation most of the dark cultivators were focused on the senior brothers and sisters of the Xiao clan .
While he was also attacked by multiple opponents at the same time it was simply because his side was too outnumbered .
And almost everyone had to face the same situation .
" Then the main question is should I take the mission in the future or not . "
If he does not take the mission in the future obviously he won't have to go through the same ordial .
The only loss he would face in this would be he won't find the red drop lily during the mission .
But that is not a concern because the system is already giving him the Red Dot Lilly as a reward option this time .
" Moreover the flower is not that important to me . "
The Red Dot Lilly was something that was required to make the Fire Spirit Absorption pill which was beneficial for fire type cultivation .
" However this does not apply to Alchemist flame and since I am a water affinity user this potion is useless for me . "
Obviously he got to exchange the flower for other things like he did in the life simulation .
" But even then the exchange value of this flower won't be enough to take a risk like this. "
At the same time the meditation mat was also out of the question.
" In this cultivation world a meditation mat is a very important tool that allows a person to concentrate Dou Qi even more effectively during long meditation periods . "
There are some basic herbal meditation mats out there which can be brought by almost anyone .
Above that there are different kinds of elemental Qi gathering meditation mats like the Water Dou Qi Gathering Meditation Mat .
" This could help me in my meditation very much . "
But still that's not something he cannot get by himself in the market .
" But it's strange that the system did not put the Treasure chest obtained by defeating the magical beast as a reward this time . "
The two previous rewards why nothing compared to the Treasure chest .
While the gold was not necessarily the most important part.
But the broken storage ring was another matter all together .
" Broken storage rings can be very valuable especially if it ever belonged to someone very strong or important . "
Xiao Ming was really interested to know what was inside that storage ring .
But since the system did not put it as a reward he would have to go to the forest and the feet the magical beast to get the Treasure chest by himself .
While this was certainly a little sad outcome , there was nothing he could do about it .
Fortunately the third option given in the reward was enough to at least lift his mood up .
" High Purple Grade Technique - Water Chakram . "
Looking at the technique in front of him, Xiao Ming's eyes became bright with excitement .
This reward outweighed the previous two by an outstanding margin .
First of all it is a high purple grade technique with far more offensive capabilities .
In the life simulation he already noticed just how affected this technique was.
The technique uses water Dou Qi to create water chakram shaped weapons that can be used by the user .
Xiao Yu , the senior sister in the life simulation , used the water chakram as a long range attack to cut down trees and boulders that were in its path .
The technique was very versatile and could be used both as a mid and a long range attack with the user having full control over the spinning water chakram including their throwing ability , speed , direction and movements .
This would also compensate for his lack of strong options in long range attacks and complement his Nine Images Piercing The Mirage Technique .
" Alright system then I will choose the High Purple Grade Technique - Water Chakram as the reward . "
Just as he said that the system quickly processed the reward and it was quickly transferred to his storage ring .
" Phew ! Today really was an exhausting but productive day . "
With the fourth life simulation complete and a generous reward in his hand Xiao Ming could now dedicate more of his time in his training .
Because right now his ultimate goal is to join the mythical dragon sect .
" Whether or not I take any other risky missions in the future would depend on what I find in the life simulations . "
He must keep continuing to get real battle experience while also not over extending .
With just a few months away from the arrival of the imperial Princess and then the selection exam for the mythical Dragon sect he has very little time left to prepare .
But he was no longer the same person as he was a few months ago without the system .
Since then a lot of things have changed including his perception and confidence in this world .
" Because now it is my time to rise . "
With that thought in mind Xiao Ming went to his bed with determination to face any obstacle in his path for a better future ahead .
To Be Continued .
