In a simulated life scenario, how do you defy fate and change your destiny every time?

Half an hour later.

Lu Yuan, leading his bruised and battered horse, left Bafang Tower with satisfaction.

Despite being kicked and bleeding from the head, the fiery-maned horse kept turning back, looking reluctant to leave.

“It’s normal for young people to have a temper, but even if you were given a chance this time, you still wouldn’t have been able to do it.”

Lu Yuan shook his head.

The little mare that was just now may have looked small, but it was actually a genuine beast at the Visualization Realm.

But the fiery-maned horse, blinded by lust, dared to approach and flirt with the other woman.

This is why, as a mutated ferocious beast, it possesses an extremely strong physique.

Otherwise, if it were any other strange beast, it would probably have been kicked halfway through its body long ago.

Upon hearing this, the fiery-maned horse immediately hung its head in dejection, like a castrated rooster, no longer possessing its former arrogance.

"The path of cultivation is based on the law of the jungle, where strength is paramount. As long as you follow me and cultivate diligently, what kind of mare can't you get?"

Lu Yuan comforted him.

"And those powerful demons who achieved enlightenment through unconventional means, which one of them doesn't have a resounding name?"

"So if you want to become stronger, the first thing you need to do is choose a good-sounding name."

The fiery-maned horse nodded repeatedly and looked eagerly at Lu Yuan.

Although it cannot speak, it is extremely intelligent and wants Lu Yuan to give it a name that will shake the world.

"I see that you are entirely red, like a flame, so I'll call you Big Red from now on."

Lu Yuan replied without hesitation.

"Hey!"

The fiery-maned horse was full of anticipation, only to hear the incredibly tacky name, "Big Red."

He was so angry that he wanted to kick Lu Yuan to the ground.

"Bright red, bright red, prosperous and thriving, what's wrong with that?"

Lu Yuan was very satisfied with the name and, despite the opposition of the fiery-maned horse, insisted on making it the name.

He then found an inn in Dayu City, ordered a large table of dishes, and prepared to treat himself.

He traversed countless mountains, living a life of hardship and constant tension.

What can relax people the most is undoubtedly good food and plenty of sleep.

After having enough wine and food.

Lu Yuan returned to his room, carefully washed his body, and then changed into the clothes that his mother had sewn for him.

Although the clothes weren't particularly well-made, they fit very well and were much more comfortable than the previous rough animal robes.

Do it all.

He sat cross-legged on the bed, silently sorting through the information he had received from Sifanglou.

"Zhenhuang City has been busy mobilizing troops lately and has no time to investigate the disappearance of Lin Zhi and others. In other words, the Dafeng Tribe is safe for the time being."

But when he thought of another piece of information revealed by the old man in black, Lu Yuan frowned.

According to Bafanglou.

The ruler of the Great Kingdom has been working diligently to strengthen the nation, and in recent years the country has become increasingly powerful. He has decided to wage war against the Great Wilderness to completely eliminate this last obstacle.

In contrast, since the two gods descended to the mortal realm, the cultivation environment in the Great Wilderness has become increasingly harsh, making it very unsuitable for Qi cultivators to survive.

"The Way of Heaven is crumbling, and chaos is imminent."

"Before that, I must strengthen myself as much as possible in order to protect myself and my tribe in the midst of war."

Lu Yuan muttered to himself, a sense of urgency rising in his heart.

However, the path of spiritual practice requires consideration of wealth, companions, methods, and environment.

Among these, finances are the top priority.

Those peerless geniuses who are famous throughout the wilderness, besides their outstanding talents, also owe their success to the tribe's dedicated training.

Lu Yuan comes from a small tribe, and it's already quite remarkable that he's come this far.

"I am now a late-stage Qi Refiner in the Spirit Embryo Realm, and even in this Great Yu City, I can be considered a formidable opponent."

"With my strength, it's not difficult for me to obtain cultivation resources, but if I go out hunting or accept commissions from others, it will inevitably severely slow down my cultivation speed."

Lu Yuan said with a headache.

He has a profound foundation and solid roots, but the resources he consumes to break through are more than ten times that of ordinary Qi cultivators.

If he were to acquire resources on his own, it's uncertain when he would be able to reach the Inscription Realm.

What he lacks most right now is time!

"If only I could acquire a large amount of cultivation resources in a short period of time."

Lu Yuan silently recited this in his heart, and continuously used the [Heaven Follows Man's Wish] technique to strengthen this thought.

As a wave of fatigue washed over him, Lu Yuan's energy was quickly depleted.

Fortunately, his spiritual embryo was powerful, and his spiritual power was as vast as the sea, which was enough to support the consumption of [Heaven Follows Man's Wish].

After taking a few Spirit Nourishing Pills, Lu Yuan's body quickly returned to its peak condition.

Although there was no prompting, he knew the talent had taken effect.

He was just curious about how "Heaven grants man's wish" would fulfill his desire.

The next morning.

As soon as Lu Yuan stepped out, a waiter came to report that someone had come to visit and had been waiting at the inn's entrance for a long time.

"Someone is looking for me?"

Lu Yuan frowned slightly. He was new to the city and had no acquaintances or friends there.

Why would someone make a special trip to visit?
And I heard what the waiter said.

The people looking for him were actually two beautiful women?
Lu Yuan was puzzled. As soon as he stepped out of the inn, he saw a girl in a blue dress leading a beautiful white horse, following behind a woman in white with a reluctant expression.

The girl in the blue dress was mischievous and had a chubby face, looking about ten years old.

The woman in white was a beautiful young woman of sixteen, with a graceful and charming appearance.

She was tall and slightly plump, and her demeanor exuded the elegance and composure of a lady from a prominent family.

"Sister, it's clearly that lecherous horse that dared to flirt with Xiaobai."

"I didn't cause him any trouble, so why should I apologize to him?"

The girl in the blue dress pouted and said with a wronged expression.

The pure white mare beside her, with a single horn on its head, also neighed softly in agreement.

“Xiaoqian, I’ve already found out. That fiery-maned horse was kicked and seriously injured by Xiaobai before it even got close.”

"If this matter gets out, I'm afraid the world will think that I, Shennong, am arrogant and domineering, and that I even dare to bully others with a mere mount."

Although the woman in white spoke gently, her tone was unusually firm and resolute.

The girl in the blue dress clearly knew her sister's temper, so she immediately pursed her lips, lowered her head, and remained silent.

"May I ask what brings you two here so early in the morning?"

When Lu Yuan saw the little white horse, he vaguely guessed the two men's intentions.

"I apologize for disturbing you, Brother Lu."

The woman in white spoke gently, with a hint of apology.

"Fellow Daoist, you are too kind. It's just a small matter."

Lu Yuan's expression remained unchanged, but his heart skipped a beat when he heard the surname Jiang.

Unlike the modern world.

The people of the Great Wilderness place great importance on surnames.

Each surname often represents the heritage of a tribe and the identity of their ancestors!
Looking across the entire Great Wilderness, the only ones who can use "Jiang" as their surname are the descendants of Shennong, the Yan Emperor!

What surprised Lu Yuan was...

Whether it was the Yu clan or the Shennong clan, they all seemed to place great importance on the reputation of their tribes.

Not only did he abuse his status and position to commit crimes, but he also exercised extremely strict self-discipline.

If he hadn't experienced it himself, he wouldn't have believed that a descendant of the mighty Emperor Yan would actually make a special trip to apologize for such a trivial matter!
"Brother Lu's magnanimity is truly admirable." "But my younger sister has done something wrong. If we let it go unpunished, wouldn't that be a disgrace to our ancestors?"

Jiang Wan slightly turned to the side and looked at the girl in the blue dress behind her.

“Jiang Ya…”

At her sister's prompting, the girl in the blue dress, despite her reluctance, had no choice but to apologize to Lu Yuan.

"I was wrong yesterday. I shouldn't have let Xiaobai teach your lecherous horse a lesson..."

The girl became more and more aggrieved as she spoke, her eyes reddening, and she was about to cry.

Jiang Wan saw all of this, feeling half helpless and half heartbroken.

But her younger sister was unruly and had been spoiled since childhood.

If not strictly restrained, it is feared that it will become even more outrageous in the future.

of course.

The reason she made a special trip to visit Jiang Ya this time was not only to test Jiang Ya's temperament, but also...

The more important point is.

Last night, she suddenly had a whimsical idea and really wanted to see who this young man from the Great Wilderness was who could be praised so highly by Yu Qi, the man with double pupils.

Seeing it today, it is indeed extraordinary.

You should know that she has a distinguished status, outstanding appearance, and is born with an aura.

From childhood to adulthood, I have seen countless people who fawn over the powerful or covet her beauty.

However, after learning about Shennong's identity, Lu Yuan was still able to maintain a calm and composed attitude, neither humble nor arrogant.

This alone is enough to make her think more highly of Lu Yuan.

"My younger sister has offended me greatly before. This bottle of Nourishing Spirit Pill is my apology from Shennong. I hope Brother Lu will accept it."

Jiang Wan took out a jade bottle and handed it to Lu Yuan.

"Thank you for your kindness."

Lu Yuan did not refuse and immediately accepted it.

He is currently in dire need of cultivation resources, while Shennong, who had tasted all kinds of herbs in the world, was extremely skilled in alchemy.

Any elixir produced by Shennong is bound to be a priceless treasure.

This Spirit Nourishing Pill, besides nourishing the soul and strengthening the spiritual embryo, also has a certain chance of slightly improving the comprehension of a Qi cultivator!
If it were outside the market, even a single one of these grains could sell for an astronomical price!

"Could it be the effect of 'heaven granting one's wishes'?"

Watching the Jiang sisters' departing figures, Lu Yuan pondered to himself.

This time, he only spent a few Spirit Nourishing Pills to obtain a bottle of Spirit Nourishing Pills and also met the Jiang sisters of the Shennong clan.

It's an absolute steal!
Think of this.

Lu Yuan felt a surge of excitement and pressed on, continuing to use [Heaven's Will] to enhance the effect of obtaining cultivation resources.

the next day.

Lu Yuan went out for a stroll and found a broken statue at a stall selling antiques.

Although on the surface, this tiger-headed, human-bodied statue looks dilapidated and no different from a child's clay toy.

However, inside the statue, Lu Yuan vaguely sensed an extremely rich aura of metal, which seemed to contain a trace of the divine essence of the law of metal!
Lu Yuan was deeply moved, but he didn't show it at all. Instead, he selected more than a dozen antiques.

As for the tiger-headed human-bodied statue, Lu Yuan placed it with the other antiques, intending to buy it all at once.

"Fellow Daoist, how much do these items cost in total?"

"A thousand catties of rice, or you could give me a low-grade spirit stone."

The old man at the stall glanced at Lu Yuan and immediately made an outrageous demand.

Upon hearing the price, Lu Yuan's face immediately darkened.

The Great Wilderness is resource-poor, and most people barter for goods, while Qi cultivators use spirit stones, which are easier to carry, as their currency.

But the old man immediately offered a low-grade spirit stone; wasn't that blatantly taking advantage of his youth?

"Old man, you say these things are antiques, but if I'm not mistaken, they should all have been imported in bulk from the Great Kingdom, right?"

Lu Yuan snorted coldly and immediately exposed his true colors.

"Kid, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want!"

"These treasures of mine were brought out of ancient ruins at great personal risk. If you don't want to buy them, then forget it."

The old man hurriedly looked around, and only when he saw that no one was paying attention did he secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

"How about this, considering your age and how hard it is for you, I'll take a loss and let you take all ten pounds of rice with you, okay?"

Lu Yuan replied matter-of-factly, which almost made the old man curse.

After some haggling, the two finally agreed on a price of 100 jin of rice.

As Lu Yuan left with a bag of antiques, a barely perceptible smile appeared on the old man's lips.

"This kid is young, but he's shrewd and clever. However, he's still too green to mess with me."

These antiques he acquired from the Kingdom of Dādīng amounted to only a few kilograms of rice.

Now, you can resell it and make more than ten times the profit!
Lu Yuan, carrying the package, also had a satisfied smile on his face.

Having personally sensed it before, he was increasingly certain that the tiger-headed, human-bodied statue did indeed contain a trace of the divine essence of the Law of Metal.

For Qi Refiners at the Inscription Realm who need to comprehend the Dao traces of all things, this is an absolutely rare and precious treasure!

Bafanglou.

An elderly man in black was holding a bunch of professional equipment. After a rigorous appraisal, he finally confirmed the value of the statue.

"This item is indeed a rare treasure, but unfortunately it is damaged. Otherwise, its price would definitely be more than ten times higher!"

"Under normal circumstances, a flawed treasure containing traces of laws and principles can be sold for around ten thousand low-grade spirit stones."

"However, this item has relatively complete Dao traces, and its price is also higher. In addition, Young Master Lu is a distinguished guest of my Eight Directions Pavilion."

"If you intend to sell, how about 15,000 low-grade spirit stones?"

The old man in black pondered for a moment, then spoke solemnly.

"can."

Lu Yuan nodded, having no objection to the price.

Before he even arrived, he had taken the statue to other merchant guilds to inquire about its price, and the highest price he had received was only 13,000 low-grade spirit stones.

However, Bafanglou was very wealthy and generous, and immediately added two thousand low-grade spirit stones, showing its sincerity.

"In that case, please wait a moment, Young Master Lu."

It didn't take long.

The old man in gray returned and handed Lu Yuan a token and a miniature storage bag.

"Young Master Lu, this bag contains 15,000 low-grade spirit stones. Please count them."

"In addition, this is my VIP token for Bafanglou. You can enjoy a 5% discount on anything you buy at Bafanglou in the future."

"Thank you for your trouble, sir."

Lu Yuan took the storage bag, carefully checked it, and only left Bafang Tower after confirming that there were no problems.

With these spirit stones, he could finally break through to the Inscription Realm with peace of mind and no longer have to worry about cultivation resources for the time being.

That evening.

An old man stepped into the Eight Directions Pavilion, carrying the spirit stones he had painstakingly collected, intending to buy a bottle of Spirit Gathering Pills.

However, when he opened the inventory list, he unexpectedly saw a very familiar, dilapidated statue on it.

After rubbing his eyes and examining it carefully several times, he learned that the item was actually priced at 18,000 low-grade spirit stones.

He was so angry that his vision went black and he vomited blood on the spot!

If Lu Yuan were here, he would definitely recognize him at a glance.

The old man who was pounding his chest and stamping his feet in anger, and fainted from anger, was none other than the unscrupulous stall owner who had previously asked for an exorbitant price!

The unscrupulous stall owner thought he was clever, but he never dreamed that the statue would be so valuable.

Lu Yuan simply resold it.

They easily earned hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of times their initial investment! (End of Chapter)
