With the reward of 169 lower-grade spirit stones combined with the remaining 90 lower-grade spirit stones he already had, Lin Zichen now had a total of 259 spirit stones in hand. If he used all of them for personal simulations, he could perform 25 attempts.
However, in the subsequent personal simulations, Lin Zichen failed to draw any significant rewards five times in a row.
And each time, he ended up being defeated by the Wutong County's Wang family.
In the first attempt, he obtained an innate inheritance.
In the second attempt, he mastered an intermediate-level low-grade martial skill.
In the third attempt, he reached the ninth stage of the Postnatal Realm.
In the fourth attempt, he acquired a low-grade spiritual herb.
In the fifth attempt, he obtained a hundred-refined longsword.
"Ugh, as long as the Lin family's high-end combat power remains unchanged, the plot simply can't progress, and the rewards from personal simulations are becoming increasingly lackluster."
Looking at the treasures in front of him, Lin Zichen's face darkened.
If this continued, he feared that even if he spent all his spirit stones, his overall foundation would see little improvement. Worse still, he might not even reach the Prenatal Realm.
This was becoming a trap.
"If that's the case, why not just try the family simulation feature?"
"With 200 energy points as a base, even if one simulation ends up being a loss, I'll still have 100 points as a backup."
As the personal simulation rewards grew less enticing, Lin Zichen's gaze inevitably shifted to the family simulation feature.
In truth, he had already intended to experiment with it. The underwhelming personal simulation rewards merely accelerated the process.
With this thought in mind, Lin Zichen no longer hesitated and spent 100 energy points to activate his first-ever family simulation.
[Ding! The Immortal Clan Simulator is at your service. Since this is the host's first family simulation, the rarity of rewards generated after the simulation will increase slightly.]
[Lin Family Lin Family 212, Month 8, Day 19: With the unanimous decision of the Lin family's leadership, Lin Zichen was made the young master of the family. He swept through the younger generation with absolute strength, securing his position as the young master. In October of the same year, the Lin family's Great-Grandfather advanced to the Master Realm, followed by the second Great-Grandfather's breakthrough to the same realm the next month, significantly boosting the family's overall strength.]
[Lin Family Year 213, Month 2, Day 1: Lin Zichen, the young master, broke through to the Prenatal Realm. That same month, Lin Shouxuan, a family steward, also reached the Prenatal Realm. Additionally, young talents like Lin Zitao and Lin Ziman, who were previously at the ninth stage of the Body Refinement Realm, began breaking into the Postnatal Realm one after another in the following months. The family's strength steadily increased.
[Lin Family Year 214, Month 7, Day 19: Lin Zichen's cultivation reached the peak of the third stage of the Prenatal Realm. Half a month later, the family hosted a coming-of-age ceremony, inviting friendly forces from Qingfeng City and nearby territories to attend. Lin Zichen won the championship but was challenged by Wang Jinglun, the young master of the Wang family. Though Lin Zichen easily defeated him, elevating the Lin family's prestige, this also humiliated the Wang family and earned their enmity.]
[Lin Family Year 218, Month 5, Day 1: Lin Zichen broke through to the sixth stage of the Prenatal Realm. The following month, the family Great-Grandfather advanced to the early peak of the Master Realm.]
[Lin Family Year 220, Month 2, Day 3: News suddenly spread that the Lin family possessed a Mid-Grade spiritual field. By evening, the Wang family and four other major families joined forces to coerce the Lin family into surrendering the field, leading to a violent conflict.]
[Prepared in advance by Lin Zichen, the Lin family showed no mercy this time. All five families were annihilated, and their foundations were thoroughly plundered. At midnight, under the leadership of the family Great-Grandfather, the Lin family quietly left Qingfeng City.]
[Three days later, the Wutong County's Wang family issued a bounty for their capture, putting the Lin family at the center of a storm.]
[Lin Family Year 220, Month 8, Day 5: After months of hiding, the Lin family was ultimately located by the Wutong County's Wang family. With one late-stage and two mid-stage Master Realm experts leading the charge, the Lin family suffered heavy losses. Only the high-ranking members and the two Masters managed to hold on.]
[Lin Family Year 220, Month 8, Day 6: Under the desperate cover of the family's leadership, Lin Zichen escaped with a slim chance of survival. He began living under a hidden identity, devoting himself to cultivation in pursuit of revenge.]
[Lin Family Year 222, Month 2, Day 2: To avoid depleting resources and to aid his vengeance, Lin Zichen gathered the Lin family's remaining hidden forces and established the initial intelligence organization known as the Azure Garb Tower.]
[Lin Family Year 225, Month 10, Day 1: After years of cultivation, Lin Zichen finally broke through to the Master Realm. He began dispatching members of the Azure Garb Tower to infiltrate Wutong County, secretly investigating the Wang family's connections and true strength.]
[Lin Family Year 228, Month 5, Day 22: Years of development allowed the Azure Garb Tower to take shape as a formidable organization. It now boasted dozens of Prenatal Realm experts and over a thousand intelligence operatives ranging from Body Refinement to Postnatal Realm cultivators, and it continued to expand rapidly. During this growth, the organization did not disappoint Lin Zichen, providing him with a clearer understanding of the Wang family's power in Wutong County.]
"So, what is the true strength of the Wang family?"
Seeing this, a glimmer of anticipation flashed through Lin Zichen's eyes.
As expected, compared to personal simulations, family simulations were far superior in both survival and development.
However…
"The Wang family has been in Wutong County for over a thousand years, with countless Master Realm experts emerging over the generations. With the current strength of the Azure Garb Tower, the results of their investigations might not be entirely accurate. It's even possible that this information is what the Wang family deliberately allowed external intelligence organizations to see."
In the Tianwu Continent, even the weakest second-rate forces generally had at least three Master Realm experts as their backbone. Stronger second-raye forces could produce mid-stage Master-level experts, with the total number of Masters potentially exceeding five.
As for old families like the Wang family, an established second-rate force with a history spanning a millennium, the number of Master Realm experts they possessed likely exceeded a dozen.
After all, once a martial artist steps into the Prenatal Realm, they gain immense strength and experience a slight increase in lifespan, living up to 150 years. Upon reaching the Master Realm, their lifespan immediately extends to 200 years, and with each further breakthrough, they gain an additional ten years of life.
In other words, the lifespan of a Master Realm expert could reach a maximum of 250 years.
Of course, this lifespan is only in normal circumstances.
There exist heavenly treasures and rare techniques capable of extending one's lifespan, but such resources are so rare that even top-tier superpowers may not possess them.
"Strong forces grow stronger, while the weak only get weaker."
"Organizations with Master-level experts or higher not only gain more time to cultivate elite successors but also perpetuate their power, becoming increasingly formidable."
"As a long-established second-rate family, the Wang family would never allow a fledgling organization like the Azure Garb Tower to uncover their true foundation. The question is, will the simulated version of me grasp this reality?"
With this thought, Lin Zichen's focus returned to the light screen in front of him.
The lines of simulation text, like symbols of fate dancing across the screen, continuously stimulated Lin Zichen's mind.
