Gou Zai Yao Wu Simulated Immortal

After an unknown amount of time, Li Qian's chest rose and fell slightly, and he finally exhaled a breath of stale air.

The breath, upon leaving the lips and teeth, carried a faint, fishy odor.

Looking around his body, the grime forced out from deep within his bones was sticky and covered his skin, making him look filthy.

He absorbed the Outer Gods and used spiritual vision to reflect upon himself.

"Just one bone-strengthening pill helped me overcome the Rhinoceros Bone Barrier?"

In Li Qian's perception, what was originally just a tough outer skeleton was now a unified whole, inside and out.

This is the Sigu Pass.

Its bones are like those of an old rhinoceros, deep and stable, and no matter how much external force is applied, it is difficult to shake its foundation.

Li Qian slowly opened his eyes.

He originally thought that even with his spiritual power and the help of the bone-strengthening pills, it would still take him some time to overcome this obstacle.

Unexpectedly, the purity of this cultivation pill far surpassed that of the so-called tonic pills in the Yangwu Sect.

Compared to the former, the pills obtained from Yangwu Gate were practically no different from roadside weeds.

Upon closer reflection, it's not surprising.

Yangwu Sect ultimately follows the path of martial arts, and elixirs are merely supplementary cultivation methods.

It's already quite good if it can have some effect on strengthening muscles and bones and replenishing qi and blood.

Meanwhile, in Zhenlingzhou, the path of immortality flourished, and the art of alchemy had been developing for countless years.

Even if it is just a miscellaneous elixir, the Great Sun Dynasty can hardly match its exquisite materials, cooking time, and refining techniques.

Li Qian couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"On one side, there's the relentless hammering, tempering the body with blood and qi. On the other, there's the ability to draw upon the power of medicine, penetrating directly to the very core of the bones and muscles."

The difference between the two worlds is truly enormous.

However, this only strengthened his resolve.

"Now that I am in the True Spirit Continent, and cultivate both immortal and martial arts, it would be a terrible waste not to use what I have gained from both to complement and enhance each other."

Li Qian raised his palm and gently clenched his fist.

Between the joints, several low, soft sounds came, like iron and wood knocking together.

Previously, the force of the muscles was mostly superficial; although the force exerted was fierce, the power was easily dispersed and difficult to solidify.

Only when flesh is supported by strong bones can it exert its proper power.

Now that the Sigu Pass has been crossed, hundreds of interlocking pillars have been added to his body.

Li Qian casually threw a punch at the ground.

With a muffled thud, a fist-shaped dent appeared.

The surrounding area was perfectly intact, without a single extra crack, and all the force was concentrated into a small space.

But after he withdrew his fist, he felt a faint, tingling, numbing sensation in his hand bones.

Not daring to be careless, I was even more careful this time, using my spiritual sense to introspect.

Several extremely fine cracks were visible at the junction of the joint and the bone.

Li Qian thought for a moment and then understood the reason.

He still relied on the power of the Bone Strengthening Pill to forcibly cross the Rhinoceros Bone Pass, and the bones between the pass have not yet truly blended together.

Over time, these fine cracks not only become difficult to heal, but may also damage the foundation and leave hidden dangers.

"Clearing the gate quickly isn't necessarily all a good thing."

Li Qian poured out another bone-strengthening pill, just to patch up the leak.

The Lingze Method and the Yuan Sui Cleansing and Refining alternated and harmonized, and with the help of the medicine, gradually repaired the fractured bone.

As the sun rises in the east, its red rays shine through the cracks in the thatched hut.

He slowly finished his practice, his bones were fully repaired, and he felt refreshed and light all over.

He took out a miscellaneous talisman for cleaning from the bag.

He infused his fingertips with spiritual power, and instantly the filth around him was cleansed, and his robes became as neat as new.

"Now, it's time to go back and check if the simulation counts are cross-platform."

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

Li family, Xiangyang County.

Sunlight streamed obliquely through the window.

As soon as Li Qianfu opened his eyes, he felt his mind sluggish and his spirit dulled.

It must be because the spiritual energy here is extremely thin.

He did some quick calculations.

Whether it's martial arts body tempering or immortal breathing exercises, the cultivation efficiency in the True Spirit Continent is more than two or three times higher than in the Great Sun Dynasty.

No wonder I was able to overcome the Sigu Pass, which had troubled me for half my life in the simulation, in such a short period of time.

After a simple bear feast, Li Qianping dismissed the servants and sat alone in the secret passage, immersing his mind in the jade slip.

[Building Strength: 10 (Strong Bones and Muscles)]

[Current accumulated simulations: 1, Cooldown: 28 days]

[Start simulation?]

Li Qian's heart skipped a beat.

"Did your root bone increase by three points after crossing the Rhinoceros Bone Barrier?"

Looking at the number of simulations that had lit up again, his joy grew even greater.

"Simulation is interconnected! You bear demon, prepare to die!"

The moment the thought arose, words immediately began to flow like a tide.

[The thirteenth simulation has begun]

"The first thing you did after returning from True Spirit Continent was to conceal your vital energy with your immortal cultivation."

"Wu Yongru often comes to the Li family to reminisce and have a feast with your father."

"While the family banquet was in full swing, you ordered someone to bring out the Jadeite Cabbage and asked Wu Yong to invite him to join the Yangwu Sect."

"At the same time, you quietly removed the immortal cultivation that concealed the rhinoceros bone."

"Wu Yong tested your physique and exclaimed in astonishment, 'Nephew, your physique is exceptional! You were born with the bones of a rhinoceros!'"

"Then he hurriedly pulled out a book to test your comprehension, and was in a great mood."

However, after the experiment, he showed a slight regret, saying, "His comprehension is slightly inferior, but he's still better than the average person."

Wu Yong then sighed three times, thinking to himself, "This boy has a promising future."

"When he came to his senses, he pushed the jade cabbage back to you, shaking his head and saying, 'Nephew, your talent and understanding are sufficient; I am unworthy to accept this gift.'"

"After you repeatedly declined, Wu Yong finally accepted it."

"Your parents and brother were overjoyed upon hearing the news, and your father was especially moved to tears."

"I never imagined that the Li family could produce another martial arts prodigy besides him."

"He immediately instructed the old steward Jia Wei to hold a three-day banquet, and all people in Xiangyang County were welcome to attend."

"Yangwu Gate is one of the three martial gates in the southern region of the Great Sun Dynasty, and its fame is renowned throughout the area."

"The news of your easy entry into Yangwu Gate quickly spread throughout the county."

"Your various absurd behaviors have been forgotten by everyone; the world only knows that the second son of the Li family is a martial arts prodigy."

After the banquet, members of the Chamber of Commerce came one after another to offer their congratulations, followed by burning incense to worship their ancestors and informing them of their lineage.

"The farewell banquet will be held only after all matters are settled."

"Ten days later, your parents and elder brother will stand at the door and instruct you not to be arrogant, but to continue to improve your martial arts skills so that you can protect the Li family in the future."

"With tears in your eyes, you bid farewell to your family members one by one, and then bowed deeply to the old steward, Jia Wei."

"Over the years, he has cleaned up most of the messes you've made."

"Jia Wei was also in tears, saying that his second young master was indeed a worthy son, just like his father."

"You ride in the carriage prepared by the old steward. This time the commotion is too great. Wu Yong had already sent a message by carrier pigeon to invite another elder of Yangwumen, Yu Xianzhi, to accompany you, just in case."

The three of them rode in a car and headed towards Yangshan.

"Because of the grand banquet, we just missed the bandits' robbery."

"On the fifth day after leaving the county, you came across a convoy by the roadside. All the people in the convoy were dead, and the ground was a mess with a strong smell of blood."

Your choice is:

"First, get out of the vehicle and observe the body and its wounds to deduce the cause of the disaster."

"Second, do not meddle in other people's business, and do not linger. Please ask the two elders to escort you to Yangshan."

"Third, follow the trail and investigate the murderer's whereabouts along the bloodstains."

"Fourth, with the help of others, we ask the two elders to search the damaged vehicle, identify the damage, and then determine the cause of this disaster."
