Chapter 6: Chapter 6: Simulating a Disciple’s Life

Translator: 549690339

[At the age of 18, among the young disciples of the Shu Mountain Sect embarking on their journey of cultivation experience, Lin Qingzhi reached the fifth level of the Golden Core Realm.]

[At the age of 19, the Shu Mountain team that Lin Qingzhi was part of completed their training mission, and on their way back to Mount Shu, they were ambushed by disciples of the Demon Sects.]

[Most of the Shu Mountain disciples were killed, and Lin Qingzhi revealed his true strength. After a bitter fight, he managed to rescue two Shu Mountain disciples.]

[Subsequently, an Elder of the Demon Sects arrived, tracking them by the scent of blood. Lin Qingzhi was no match and died under the hands of the Demon Sect Elder.]

[Lin Qingzhi, deceased.]

[Simulation ends.]

“…”

Lu Changsheng saw that his chief disciple, only 19 years old, had been killed by a Demon Sect Elder.

The path of cultivation was indeed perilous.

Although Lin Qingzhi had the Heart of the Innocent, an Innate Spirit Vein, and limitless potential, his Qi Destiny was not favorable, as he encountered a Demon Sect Elder on his very first journey out.

The Elders of the four great Demon Sects were at least practitioners in the Nascent Soul Realm, not to mention the old monsters in the Dao Palace Realm.

19-year-old Lin Qingzhi was only in the Golden Core Realm, and he was definitely no match for a Demon Sect Elder.

“Hold on, how did the Demon Sects know the route taken by the Shu Mountain disciples on their cultivation experience? And even had a Demon Sect Elder make a move?”

“Which one of the four great Demon Sects ambushed the Shu Mountain disciples, or did all four have a hand in it?”

Lu Changsheng knew that Mount Shu was always on guard against the four great Demon Sects.

The first experiential task for every generation of Mount Shu disciples was kept secret; the disciples would disguise themselves as mortals or Loose Cultivators, dividing into several teams to undergo their training.

Each team had at least an Inner Sect Disciple with Great Accomplishment in the Golden Core Realm, or even an Elder in the Nascent Soul Realm leading the team, with the training lasting one year.

However, according to the simulator’s results, the team Lin Qingzhi was in was completely annihilated.

“A disciple with the Heart of the Innocent is a rare find; we can’t let him die just like that.”

“There are three methods to break this outcome.”

“Firstly, raise Lin Qingzhi’s cultivation to the Nascent Soul Realm within four years, by which time he might not fear a Demon Sect Elder.”

“Secondly, I could secretly protect the disciple. As soon as a Demon Sect Elder appears, I would immediately strike to kill.”

“Thirdly, inform the Sect Leader or my senior apprentice brother of this issue, either to cancel the training mission or to send an Elder to secretly protect them.”

After a moment of thought, Lu Changsheng saw at least three solutions.

The first solution was somewhat difficult.

It was somewhat fanciful to expect a disciple with little foundation to reach the Nascent Soul Realm within four years and match the combat capabilities of a Demon Sect Elder.

The third solution might arouse the suspicion of the Sect Leader and senior apprentice brother.

In that case, it would be most straightforward for him to take action himself, and he might even unravel the mysteries behind this.

Four years was enough time for Lu Changsheng to step into the Dao Palace Realm and advance further in the Taiqing Wuji Technique.

As long as he didn’t encounter the Sect Leaders of the four great Demon Sects or some old monsters, Lu Changsheng truly wasn’t afraid of a typical Demon Sect Elder.

Thinking this, Lu Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief, grateful that the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator could simulate the life of the disciple and help them avoid misfortune.

“Master, I have refined the Spiritual Energy, and now my cultivation has reached the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.”

The honest voice of Lin Qingzhi sounded from outside the cave abode.

As expected of one with an Innate Spirit Vein, the speed of refining Spiritual Energy was extremely fast, very suitable for the method of Power-infusing Initiation.

If it were a mortal, not to mention they would explode and die during Power-infusing Initiation, their speed of refining Spiritual Energy would also be far behind that of one with an Innate Spirit Vein.

The Heart of the Innocent, coupled with the Innate Spirit Vein, meant that this disciple’s potential was truly amazing.

“Come in.”

“Yes.”

“How is your practice of the Taxuan Skills going?”

“I am incompetent, Master; I have only cultivated the Taxuan Skills to the second level.”

“Hmm, it’s already good that you’ve reached the second level in three days… What? You’ve reached the second level?”

Lu Changsheng was taken aback.

His disciple looked somewhat simple-minded, but he was truly a cultivation prodigy!

“Very well, your master will transfer more power to you now.”

Lu Changsheng was very satisfied with this disciple, a fine choice for reaping benefits.

This time, Lin Qingzhi did not speak further, but quietly waited for Lu Changsheng’s power-infusing initiation.

His master indeed kept no secrets from him, even transferring his cultivation to his disciple. Where else could one find such a master?

After Lin Qingzhi’s cultivation level had improved, his Dantian could accommodate more spiritual energy, so Lu Changsheng infused even more spiritual energy into him.

“Ooh…”

Lin Qingzhi still felt discomfort, his face flushed red as his Zodiac Meridians were filled with the vast spiritual energy!

The Innate Spirit Vein was almost burst by the spiritual energy!

“Hmm?”

Lu Changsheng noticed that Lin Qingzhi had reached his limit, so he withdrew part of the spiritual energy, reducing the pressure on Lin Qingzhi.

With the experience from last time, the subsequent power-infusing initiation went smoothly.

[Ding, you have transferred one hundred days of cultivation to your disciple ‘Lin Qingzhi’. Lin Qingzhi has actually gained twenty days of cultivation. Lin Qingzhi’s current realm is the sixth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm. After refining all the spiritual energy, he can be promoted to the seventh level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.]

[Ding, you have received a two hundredfold return award for teaching your disciple: four thousand days of cultivation.]

[Ding, the number of power infusions you can perform today -1.]

“Phew…”

Lu Changsheng stopped, elated in his heart. His Dantian was now brimming with a majestic surge of spiritual energy, equivalent to suddenly gaining ten years of cultivation!

Lu Changsheng’s Dantian was overflowing, ready to open up a Dao Palace and step into the Dao Palace Realm.

“Disciple thanks Master for the power-infusing initiation.”

Lin Qingzhi still harbored gratitude. In his view, Lu Changsheng had been sacrificing his own cultivation to help him improve every time.

“When you return, besides refining spiritual energy, you must continue to practice the Taxuan Skills. Once the Taxuan Skills are perfected, your master will teach you even more profound cultivation techniques.”

The Taiqing Wuji Technique is a Heaven Rank cultivation technique, and with Lin Qingzhi’s current realm, he cannot comprehend it. Teaching it to Lin Qingzhi would also not yield a teaching reward.

“Disciple will keep this in mind.”

“Here is a superior-grade spiritual artifact called the ‘Green Abyss Sword’. Your master bestows it upon you for protection, and it shall be your first Flying Sword. With your realm, activating a superior-grade spiritual artifact is already at the limit.”

With a thought from Lu Changsheng, a precious sword flew out from within the cave dwelling, clad in an ancient-looking greenwood sheath.

“Thank you, Master,”

Lin Qingzhi had grown numb to this.

His master never hid anything from him, not only providing power-infusing initiations but also giving him various treasures continuously.

If he were to refuse his master’s kindness, he would even be scolded by his master.

Could this all be a dream?

“In four years, you will be facing a life-threatening challenge. You must train diligently to overcome it.”

Lu Changsheng, having simulated Lin Qingzhi’s life, foresaw Lin Qingzhi’s upcoming tribulation and thus warned him.

“Yes…”

Lin Qingzhi’s eyes filled with admiration as he looked at Lu Changsheng.

His master could predict the future, and his power-infusing initiations were as simple as eating and drinking. Could it be that Lu Changsheng was already a Saint?

“You may go and cultivate now.”

“Disciple takes his leave.”

[Ding, you have bestowed the superior-grade spiritual artifact Green Abyss Sword to your disciple ‘Lin Qingzhi’, and received a thousandfold return award: a low-grade Innate Spirit Treasure ‘Nine Heavens Imperial Thunder Sword’.]

[Ding, the number of rewards you can bestow today -1.]
