[Ding, reward generation successful. you can choose one of the following rewards:]
[1-cultivation realm at 150 years old]
[2-combat experience at 150 years old]
[3-life experience at 150 years old]
Lin Fang was in a dilemma, he was tempted to choose cultivation realm because he would directly reach the seventh level of Qi refinement, a level only reached by the core disciples of the sect.
However, he knew that if he did choose it, he couldn't stay in the sect anymore. He was sure that as soon as he made his breakthrough, those old fogeys would rush in and start a whole interrogation.
After all, reaching the seventh level of Qi refinement in a single day is no longer a feat achievable by having a high talent. That would only push them to believe that he has some treasure and Lin Fang isn't willing to gamble on those elders' morals.
His eyes turned determined as he finally made his choice, "I choose combat experience"
Instantly, Lin Fang felt a stabbing pain in his brain as if his head was jammed with an insane amount of information.
"AAAAGH", Lin Fang screamed at the top of his lungs. He had never felt such a terrifying pain before.
After the pain subsided, Lin Fang discovered three new pieces of memory in his mind, they were the three spiritual arts learned in the Library Of The Forgotten Paths, and surprisingly they were all light spiritual arts.
'Light spiritual arts are very rare, and in the simulation, I didn't manage to get a single light spiritual art before entering that ancient ruin, which means that the test adapts to the user's needs', he thought confident in his theory.
The three spiritual arts he learned were the following:
Radiant Palm, a low stage mortal grade spiritual art that helps The user coat their hands in light attribute true Qi, delivering strikes that burn or stun their opponent upon impact.
Light Veil, a mid stage mortal grade spiritual art that creates a barrier of light true Qi protecting the user against most attacks.
Gleaming Step, a high stage mortal grade spiritual art that allows the user to move swiftly by leaving afterimages of light behind, confusing enemies and increasing speed for a short burst.
Lin Fang was very satisfied, with those three spirit arts he had assured offense, defense and speed.
He couldn't resist taking a quick peek at his status window.
"status!"

He nodded in approval his eyes filled with pride, if someone told him a month ago that he would reach such a level of strength, he would have labeled that person as a fool.
He then closed his eyes once more and this time he wasn't simulating but actually cultivating.
...
3 months later
In a huge residence, at the very depths of the Divine Wind sect mountain range.
An extremely handsome man exhaled a turbid breath of air, the man was wearing a loose black robe with golden engravings depicting two wings encircled by strong winds, his robe lay softly on his body covering his explosive frame. The man opened his sharp eyes taking in the surrounding scenery.
"I finally reached the third level of Qi refinement", Lin Fang let out a satisfied grin. He had actually cultivated with an even higher speed than in the simulation, the wealth of knowledge that he had gained from the simulation made him avoid a ton of bottlenecks.
"it's time to leave the sect", Lin Fang said his eyes gleaming with determination. He had only decided to waste three months to cultivate to the third level of Qi refinement because he knew that the sect's regulations stated that only disciples with a third level Qi refining cultivation or higher could take on missions and leave the sect.
Lin Fang decisively left his residence and headed towards his master's peak.
On The way, the inner, outer and honorary disciples that he crossed all bowed in respect and called him senior brother but he didn't let this get to his head. He knew that in this cruel world where the strong eat meat and the weak drink soup, status, relations, and money were all false, the only truth was strength.
Once he reached the highest peak of the sect, he found an old man waiting for him with a warm smile on his face.
"you have exceeded my expectations", he said his eyes expecting him thoroughly.
Lin Fang bowed in respect, "it's all due to master's guidance"
"you don't have to be humble if it weren't for your talent then no amount of guidance could make you reach your level in a single month", The supreme elder shook his head but his eyes still held approval in them.
The supreme elder gestured for Lin Fang to sit down before pouring him a cup of tea.
Lin Fang took the cup, its beautiful aroma giving him a peaceful feeling. They both didn't speak for a long time, only appreciating the serene atmosphere.
"Master, I want to leave the sect", said Lin Fang directly.
The supreme elder nodded with a melancholic smile, "You know, I was exactly like you when I was young. I had an unbridled sense of confidence and always wanted to leave the sect to explore this vast world", he paused continuing with a heavy expression, "I can't stop you from leaving the sect because keeping you here would only withhold your potential, but I need you to live!"
"After all, I can't be having my first disciple dying so fast", He said handing Lin Fang a spatial ring.
