I cultivate immortality through The Sims.

Chapter 87 Simulation Ends

Seven days later, your group finally encountered the powerful figures of Sanglan City.

[Sanglan City dispatched five Nascent Soul cultivators this time, precisely because they were worried about what might happen outside Fuqin City.]

After all, the princess was a princess of the Tang Dynasty.

Wherever she gets into trouble, something big is bound to happen there.

At the farewell, you stood with Zhao Qingshi.

To others, it appeared that the princess was reluctant to part with Zhao Qingshi.

But only you and Zhao Qingshi know that the princess is reluctant to part with you.

To avoid alerting others, Zhao Qingshi immediately spoke up:

Princess, there's no need for this. We will surely meet again in the future.

【Our city of Fuqin awaits Your Majesty's arrival at any time.】

[Furthermore, once I have settled matters in Fuqin City, I will seek out the princess.]

The princess naturally understood the implied meaning in those words, immediately composed herself, and departed with the powerful figures from Sanglan City.

After the princess's procession had gone far away, Zhao Qingshi turned around and glared at you:

Look how much you've bewitched the princess!

You can't say much about this, you can only purse your lips.

After returning to Fuqin City, you will have fewer opportunities to meet Zhao Qingshi.

She needs to deal with the aftermath of the princess's assassination.

However, Yixiang Pavilion was confiscated by the City Lord's Mansion and transferred to your name.

The Pavilion Master of Yixiang Pavilion intervened in time, and Zhao Qingshi did not pursue the matter.

You might as well let her continue as the head of Yixiang Pavilion.

After establishing Fuqin City as his base, Qian Wantu also became quite busy.

You also asked Qian Wantu what he and his brother were competing against.

Qian Wantou pursed his lips and said nothing more.

You know, Qian Wantu wanted to resolve his issues with his brother himself and didn't want outsiders involved.

You secretly think to yourself, "With you acting as a cheat code, he doesn't even bother using it."

But you shouldn't say too much.

Ultimately, whether or not a player uses cheats is up to them.

With Zhao Qingshi giving Qian Wantu preferential treatment, Qian Wantu's business in Fuqin City flourished, and he quickly became the city's largest merchant.

However, Zhao Qingshi, based on your advice, the City Lord's Mansion still controls key resources.

This is a measure you have to take just in case.

[In the fifth year, you are 33 years old.]

With the help of the Yin-Yang Harmony Technique, you have long since reached the peak of your Foundation Establishment stage.

The day when the golden elixir will be condensed is not far off.

Master Zhao Qing has already made preparations for you to condense your golden elixir.

[You are also practicing the Five Elements Technique in an orderly manner.]

Tan Yanrao's cultivation level has also reached the eighth level of Foundation Establishment.

[When Tan Yanrao reaches the Golden Core stage, and Wan Zi transforms into the Golden Core realm, she will possess the cultivation level of the Wan Zi Golden Core.]

However, Wan Zi is now a Nascent Soul cultivator.

As for Shen Jingshu, she joined Zhao Qingshi's service after that day and has now become his capable assistant.

The city of Fuqin is now no different from your harem.

[Among the Nascent Soul stage experts are Wan Zi, Zhong Yuyin, the Pavilion Master of Yixiang Pavilion, and Zhao Qingshi.]

[The Golden Core cultivators are Shen Jingshu and Xiao Lianyi.]

[During the foundation-building stage, the pool is shrouded in mist.]

We're simply too busy.

You originally thought your days would just go on like this, one after another.

But soon, Qian Wantu brought devastating news.

Ying Haicheng packaged the incident of attacking and killing the princess as a drama directed and acted by Fuqincheng.

The city lord of Fuqin City, along with ten Nascent Soul cultivators and dozens of Golden Core cultivators, and even the entire army of Yinghai City, is rushing towards Fuqin City under the pretext of avenging the princess.

[In the current Fuqin City, besides your four Nascent Soul cultivator confidantes, there are only three deputy city lords.]

The newly promoted deputy city lord was once Cheng Weiji's subordinate.

[We're short three top-tier combatants alone.]

Even with Qian Wantu's Nascent Soul guards joining the fray, the team still lacks two top-tier combatants.

If you have no connection with Zhao Qingshi or Qian Wantu, you can naturally leave.

But by this time, you were already deeply entangled with Zhao Qingshi and Qian Wantu.

You can no longer extricate yourself.

Immediately, you thought of the princess.

The princess should still be in Sanglan City at this time.

However, when you explained your method, Zhao Qingshi shook his head.

[When Qian Wantu brought the news back, Zhao Qingshi had already sent a team to Sanglan City to request reinforcements.]

The leader of the team is at the peak of the Golden Core stage.

However, two months have passed since the first team left Fuqin City, and not a single piece of news has been sent back.

Zhao Qingshi guessed that a group of powerful individuals had been lying in ambush around Fuqin City in order to cut off Fuqin City's ability to request reinforcements from Sanglan City.

[Hope.]

Zhao Qingshi is now hesitating whether to send a Nascent Soul expert to lead a team to seek help from Sanglan City.

But doing so carries extremely high risks.

Because no one knows exactly how many Nascent Soul experts are lurking around Fuqin City.

If a Nascent Soul expert is ambushed, the loss will be far greater than that of a Golden Core cultivator at the peak of their cultivation.

However, if too many Nascent Soul cultivators go out to seek help, and those Nascent Soul cultivators have ulterior motives, Fuqin City will be even more difficult to defend.

You know, this task will ultimately fall to you.

Currently, the Nascent Soul experts in the entire Fuqin City who are least likely to betray you are Wan Zi and the Pavilion Master of Yixiang Pavilion.

【Wan Zi accompanied you all the way from the Wan Hua Sect to Fu Qin City; our feelings have long since run deep into our bones.】

The head of Yixiang Pavilion has betrayed Ying Haicheng, causing the assassination plot against the princess to fail. Ying Haicheng can no longer trust her.

As for Zhong Yuyin, following you was a last resort.

If Ying Haicheng were to offer a huge reward, you can't be sure if Zhong Yuyin would leave you.

Therefore, in the end, you decided to take Wanzi and the head of Yixiang Pavilion to Sanglan City to ask the princess for help.

[Hopefully, we can persuade the city lord of Sanglan City to send troops to rescue Fuqin City.]

As for why you're leading the team, it's because you're more effective at seducing the princess.

[It will take at most two months for Yinghaicheng's army to arrive in Fuqin City.]

You dared not delay, and immediately planned to lead Wanzi and the Pavilion Master of Yixiang Pavilion to Sanglan City.

But after learning this news, Zhong Yuyin resolutely decided to go with you.

Zhao Qingshi naturally agreed, since three Nascent Soul cultivators would be much safer.

Fuqin City has a protective formation. As long as the spirit stones are not exhausted and no Nascent Soul experts make a move, Fuqin City will be safe.

Fuqin City can surely hold out until reinforcements arrive from Sanglan City.

Soon, Wan Zi and the other two led you towards Sanglan City.

[You were only gone from Fuqin City for seven days when you were discovered by Nascent Soul experts from Yinghai City.]

Even if Wan Zi has a Nascent Soul magic weapon, even if you temporarily lend your Nascent Soul magic weapon to the Pavilion Master of Yixiang Pavilion.

Ultimately, they were unable to withstand Ying Haicheng's Nascent Soul stage expert.

Because Yinghai City had deployed eight Nascent Soul level experts to block the road from Fuqin City to Sanglan City.

Wan Zi and the other two fought to the death, refusing to retreat.

You watched helplessly as Wan Zi and the others were severely injured and died.

Ultimately, you too will not escape this calamity.

He died at the hands of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
