It's just a simulation game, how did the fairy become real?

[But you don't want to take on apprentices, after all, your research in various fields requires a lot of time. Even just mentoring Chai Yashi feels like a waste of time.]

If you continue to take on apprentices, the guidance you provide will likely take even longer.

The sect leader has already considered this for you.

[You don't need to recruit disciples. Instead, with the cooperation of the elders, you can simply set aside two or three days each month to hold sermons.]

No one is more suitable for this than you.

After all, the elders' teachings are far too advanced. Giving these things to newcomers who are just getting started with alchemy, arrays, and talismans would only make them aim too high.

You have been studying these fields for nearly ten years.

[Furthermore, your skill in forging swords with lightning has already made you a legendary figure within the sect. You enjoy immense popularity among the newcomers. If you were to give a sermon, you would naturally attract countless people.]

[Things are going as the sect leader predicted. You originally only planned to set aside one day each month to give a general overview of various fields.]

However, the number of people attending the lecture was unexpectedly large, and you were somewhat overwhelmed.

Ultimately, there was no other option but to change it to once every two weeks.

Even so, the number of people attending the lectures will still be higher than before.

[After just two or three lessons, even disciples at the Golden Core stage arrived early to reserve seats.]

After all, even if you only talk about the most basic things, they are all the same, and you can find what suits you best within them.

The elders originally wanted to give you more lessons, but you righteously refused.

[You already don't have enough time to cultivate, if you keep adding more, when will it ever end?]

In other words, you live on the main peak where the sect leader resides.

If you were to choose a different mountain, the number of people visiting each day would be so great that they would wear down your doorstep.

The thoroughness of your lectures is in no way inferior to those of the most accomplished instructors.

Even their grasp of some basic skills is weaker than yours.

After all, those powerful figures have been at the top for too long and can't possibly imagine what kind of problems these newcomers will encounter.

You are different.

For three whole years, your life became remarkably regular.

Aside from the scheduled lectures, you traverse the peaks of various elders' residences. Even though you are a Nascent Soul cultivator, you still act like a novice, maintaining curiosity about everything.

Many times, these elders were filled with感慨 (a sense of deep emotion or reflection).

You've learned all my skills.

Even if you live your life like any other researcher and never actually fight with anyone.

But the scene of you forging a magical artifact using lightning tribulation is already deeply etched in everyone's hearts.

No one dares to look down on you.

As the sect leader said, the path you have chosen is exceptionally difficult.

Even if you can feel yourself moving forward every moment, you always feel that the road ahead seems a little too long.

[After three whole years, you've only laid the foundation.]

The higher you stand, the broader your horizons will be.

You are well aware of what you lack; this is a process that requires time and resources, and you can't rush it.

Under your guidance, Chai Yashi has also reached the Golden Core stage within these three years. However, she still comes to your side from time to time.

You always feel that the questions the other person asks you seem somewhat childish.

[But Chai Yashi seems oblivious to your rejection and continues to intrude into your life.]

"Han Tao, my magic artifact is broken. Could you help me fix it?"

"Broken again? You've broken down three times this month. What kind of combat intensity do you have?"

Han Tao looked at Chai Yashi speechlessly. That was a magic weapon at the Golden Core level, and even if it was used beyond its limit, it could still retain a certain strength.

It is impossible for it to be damaged unless it has been involved in a fierce battle.

"I was just unlucky. I was bumped into by a monster, and in desperation, I had no choice but to use my magic weapon to defend myself."

Chai Yashi came right over.

Before, in the secular world, she was a young lady from a wealthy family; now, she has completely become a junior sister.

If she were to be even slightly firm, Han Tao would be able to use that as an excuse to get rid of her.

Unfortunately, Han Tao never got such an opportunity.

"Didn't I get you a lot of protective gear? Where is it?"

Han Tao stared speechlessly at the extent of the damage to the magic weapon. Almost half of the entire weapon remained, and this was after he had strengthened it several times.

Ordinary demonic beasts simply cannot do this.

Chai Yashi said shyly, "I've used them all up..."

Han Tao: ?

"Are you sure you're going to hunt down a Golden Core stage demon beast?"

With the magical treasures he brought out, even the dragon he encountered back then could contend with them.

How could all his magical treasures be destroyed?

"hey-hey……"

[Under your questioning, you finally understand why Chai Yashi's magical artifact destroyed so quickly.]

[This guy, relying on his magical treasures, actually dares to loiter at the gates of the demon realm.]

Although it's still far from the true passage to the demon realm, that area is not a place where a Golden Core cultivator can freely wander around.

[It's a miracle that Chai Yashi came back alive.]

[You didn't hold back in scolding her and directly limited the number of magical artifacts Chai Yashi could possess.]

These magical artifacts were all made by you during your practice sessions.

[Some of them definitely need to be tested in real-world scenarios. That's why Chai Yashi took so many.]

However, Chai Yashi showed no embarrassment or annoyance whatsoever; instead, she just kept grinning foolishly.

You stare at her, puzzled, but Chai Yashi simply leaves your room.

For the next period of time, Chai Yashi was noticeably more well-behaved.

However, your life seems to have lost a bit of its fun.

But for you, the impact won't be significant.

[Until one day, you suddenly heard from your fellow disciples about Chai Yashi's recent activities.]

You initially didn't intend to get involved, but then you heard that the other person was currently in a dangerous situation.

You sighed silently.

【Your choice:】

1. Standing idly by without offering assistance. (This could potentially alter the relationship between you.)

2. Depart immediately for the rescue. (This may cause some changes in your relationship.)

3. Ask others to go to the rescue. (Unexpected things may happen.)

[4. Personal intervention, remaining attempts: three.]

Choose 3!

Once you learn of this, immediately try to find a way to ask others to go to their aid. You can even have a magical artifact custom-made for them.

Even if you can't create it yourself, you can still ask the elders for help.

What you didn't expect was that someone leaked the news.

Everyone knows of your heroic deeds back then.

[Plus, Chai Yashi is sparing no effort in promoting you within the sect.]

Everyone knows that your skill in crafting magical artifacts is no less than that of a true master.

Therefore, more than half of the Golden Core cultivators within the sect went out to rescue Chai Yashi.

Even some of the Nascent Soul stage cultivators went to join the fun.

However, what you didn't expect was that of all the people who went out, not a single one returned.

After they entered that dangerous area, even communications were completely cut off.

The elders of the Qingyun Sect quickly realized the problem.

The number of younger disciples has suddenly decreased significantly.

After making some inquiries, it was discovered that they were all trapped in the same place.

That area happens to be the demon realm territory you forbade Chai Yashi from going to a while ago.

The fact that so many Golden Core cultivators were trapped at once immediately alarmed the sect leader.

After all, the elders are the current guarantee, but this large group of Golden Core cultivators represents the true future of the Qingyun Sect.

However, the demon realm is powerful, and even though the sect leader is at the Tribulation Transcending stage, he still cannot act with impunity within it.

[As long as he appears within the territory of the demon realm, he is very likely to be seen as provoking trouble and causing problems for the Qingyun Sect.]

The sect leader can only provide support in terms of magical artifacts.

Therefore, the task of leading the rescue team fell on your shoulders.

No matter how exciting the battles are among those at the Nascent Soul stage, they are ultimately nothing more than squabbles between juniors.

[If those at the Nascent Soul stage or above participate in the war, it could easily ignite a conflict between the two sides.]

Although the Qingyun Sect is powerful, its leader lacks confidence when facing an entire demon realm.
