Gou Zai Yao Wu Simulated Immortal

In the Great Sun Dynasty, in Xiangyang County, in the Southern Lands, in the Misty Pavilion.

"Second Young Master, Second Young Master! This won't do! If we buy this, it'll just sit in the hall collecting dust again. When Master comes back and sees it, he'll be furious!"

An elderly man with shrewd eyes and impeccable attire.

Disregarding her usual decorum, she was desperately clutching at a young man's embroidered robe.

The young man was exceptionally handsome, with charming features.

A young woman passing by outside the shop glanced at him from afar, her cheeks flushed, she covered her mouth and giggled, then fled as fast as she could.

Li Qiangang blew a kiss to the girl outside.

He turned to the old butler, Jia Wei, and smiled, "Yes, yes."

"Uncle Jia, life is fleeting, a life lived in the morning and dying at night. How much is truly real? We all turn to ashes."

After saying that, he gently pushed away the old butler's hand.

He said in a serious tone, "If it's my shopping platform, and the old man gets angry, then let him get angry. My backside can take it."

Seeing Li Qian's nonchalant attitude, Jia Wei sighed deeply.

"Oh... Second Young Master..."

The old steward knew in his heart that once his second young master had a thought, not even ten donkeys could stop him.

I simply shrugged and gave up.

Li Qian then picked up a jade cabbage.

This piece uses the natural emerald green and translucent white of jade to depict the vegetable leaves and white edges in a fresh and lively manner.

He couldn't help but exclaim, "Cabbage, a source of financial ruin, yet also a source of great wealth; first ruin, then a fortune."

In addition, the grasshoppers and locusts symbolize many children and grandchildren, which is a good omen.

Shopkeeper, how much is this item?

The shopkeeper, who had been standing hunched over with his sleeves tucked in and a smile on his face, finally stepped forward.

He smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Young Master Li is very knowledgeable."

This piece imitates the Jadeite Cabbage. Although it is not as good as the work of a famous artist, it still captures the spirit of the subject.

You are a regular customer of our Haomiao Pavilion.

The original price was nine-tenths, but since you are here again, I have a suggestion: how about we reduce the price by one-tenth, to two thousand four hundred taels?

"Okay." Li Qian clapped his hands.

The old butler let out another heavy sigh.

"Pack this item and deliver it to my residence. Once it arrives, I will pay you with the silver notes."

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper quickly called over his assistant to carefully pack the goods.

Then, with a beaming smile, he respectfully saw the two off at the door.

Li Qian strode across the threshold and looked up at the warm sun.

The white clouds were just beginning to rise, still carrying a hint of summer.

His mind was filled with thoughts: 'Haven't I realized it's been a year since I came here?'

That's right, Li Qian is a time traveler.

In my previous life, I lived a stagnant life, studying an ordinary major, and after graduation, I followed the rules and entered a private design company.

I'm responsible for graphic design work every day.

Who knew that one day, when I opened my eyes, I would find myself in a world where martial artists existed.

He was reborn into the body of a boy with the same name.

Qian can represent heaven, signifying masculinity.

The name is nice, but unfortunately, the person in his previous life was a playboy.

Fortunately, the Li family has a positive family tradition.

The original owner certainly had his share of minor misdeeds, but they were limited to walking the dog, playing with the bird, flirting with his young wife, and spending money like water.

Given his status as an illegitimate son of the wealthy Li family in the south, he should not have been pampered like this.

It was thanks to his mother, the second wife Suqian, who was like a sister to the first wife during her lifetime.

Because he died young, the eldest son's family treated Li Qian as their own son and doted on him to the extreme.

Even the eldest brother, Li Chunzheng, was extremely lenient with his second brother.

He regarded Li Qian as his brother since childhood, and took on his responsibilities without complaint.

It can be said that, apart from her father being a bit strict, the original owner was almost showered with love and affection, born with a life of wealth and privilege.

This allowed Li Qian, a newcomer, to truly enjoy an addiction that he couldn't get rid of in his previous life.

If you see something you like, buy it!

Look at these amusing actors! Give them a treat!

When you encounter a farmer who evokes compassion in you, then...

Through these actions, he managed to reverse the original owner's reputation in Xiangyang County.

He transformed from an idle and good-for-nothing playboy into a kind-hearted, foolish son of a wealthy landowner.

This time, however, it wasn't for fun.

Everyone in the city knows that the original owner was fond of jade, calligraphy and painting, and strange and ingenious objects.

Little did anyone know that Li Qian had now developed another hobby: martial arts.

After all, it would be strange for a time traveler not to yearn for the extraordinary abilities described in novels and stories, such as the ability to stabilize the seas and capture stars.

This world, though lacking divine abilities, possesses a martial arts path that transcends the mundane.

The two boarded a carriage and returned to the Li residence. The steward, Jia Wei, took his leave to prepare the silver notes.

Li Qian walked through the pavilions and corridors back to his room.

He twisted a corner of the mahogany bookshelf, revealing a deep, dark passageway on the bluestone floor.

This secret passage was built by his father in his early years.

Ostensibly intended for use as a refuge and escape route, no one knew it had become Li Qian's training room.

He descended the steps, sat cross-legged on the futon, closed his eyes, and focused his mind.

A faint, warm-textured jade slip could be seen floating quietly.

When Li Qian first obtained this item, he was completely bewildered.

He continued on the path indicated by the jade slip.

He actually won money from the gambling den and only then did he realize the wonder of this item.

Just like the word simulation game he played in his previous life, except this time the simulation is no longer a virtual scene.

It's about his own life.

Furthermore, as long as you specialize in one thing in the simulation, you will receive a reward afterward.

The meaning enters the jade slip, and the words fly everywhere.

Name: Li Qian

[Body Structure: 7 (Healthy Physique and Well-Balanced Muscles)]

(Note: Affects martial arts progress)

[Comprehension: 5 (Common Wisdom)]

(Note: Affects comprehension of the cultivation technique)

[Fortune: 8 (Rising fortune)]

[Spiritual Root: Not yet activated]

[Current term]

"Diligent practice: You practiced martial arts day and night. Even though your physical constitution and comprehension were inferior to others, you never got discouraged. Physical constitution +1, obtained from the second simulation."

"Skilled in research: You pondered deeply about the techniques, even ordinary martial arts seemed like an insurmountable barrier to you. However, you still exhausted your efforts, and your comprehension increased by 1. This is the result of the third simulation."

……

[The twelfth simulation is currently underway. Cooldown time: one month]

"You bought the Jadeite Cabbage and presented it to Elder Wu of Yangwu Gate, an old acquaintance of my father, at the family banquet."

You explained the meaning of the cabbage to him in detail, and Wu Yong, who had no grandchildren, was very pleased to hear it.

"Take this opportunity to ask him to become a disciple of Yangwumen."

"Wu Yong tested your innate talent and comprehension. He found that your innate talent was acceptable, and although your comprehension was slightly inferior, you barely passed the threshold."

"Considering the past relationship between the Jade Cabbage and the Li family, he finally nodded in agreement, and you successfully entered Yangwu Gate."

……

-----------------

It's finally done!

A great weight was lifted from Li Qian's shoulders.

Aside from winning the first simulated bet at the beginning, he made random choices and played recklessly, ultimately leading to his family's ruin and death.

In the remaining ten simulations, Li Qian never met a good end; in other words, he was killed.

The root cause was that three years later, a bear demon broke into Xiangyang County and went on a killing spree.

Either the demon slayer arrived too late, or the government was slow to react.

The soldiers and martial arts practitioners in the county were no match for this bear demon.

Even if they hired martial artists and did their best to persuade their families, the whole family would escape ahead of time.

In the end, his family fell into decline, and he himself faded into obscurity.

Only Yangwu Gate offers a chance to break the deadlock.

In the third simulation, the Li family fled and, after falling into ruin, settled in a neighboring county.

While working odd jobs in the city, Li Qian overheard tales of the old days in Xiangyang.

Only then did they realize that the one who slew the bear demon was from the Yangwu Sect.

So for the next few months, he relentlessly pursued the Yangwu Gate in every simulation he performed.

Unfortunately, the original owner lacked both natural talent and comprehension.

[Innate Talent: 1 (Dead wood cannot be carved)]

Comprehension: 1 (Incredibly dull)

Li Qian even suspected that the original owner of this body might have put all the points into luck at the beginning of the game.

Just to be born into a good family, living a life of leisure and waiting to die.

Yangwumen, seeing that his aptitude and comprehension were extremely poor, completely ignored him.

He asked his father to allow Wu Yong to tutor him privately, but others politely declined.

Even when they finally ran up to the mountain gate and begged Wu Yong for help, they could only injure the bear demon, not kill it.

A few days later, the bear demon recovered somewhat and returned to Xiangyang County, where it went on a rampage.

Li Qian had no choice.

What kind of bewitching power has this bear demon possessed, making it so greedy for Xiangyang County?

And why didn't Yangwumen take action as soon as the bear demon appeared?

He was completely unaware.

He had no choice but to constantly simulate and accumulate vocabulary over time to improve his comprehension and innate talent.

Today, I have finally reached the threshold of joining the Yangwu School.
