Jiang Yifeng shook his head and put away all his thoughts.
He felt that it was useless to overthink at this moment.
In the future, it was crucial not to show any signs of cultivating immortals in the real world to ensure safety.
He then turned his attention to the rewards from this simulation.
Jiang Yifeng didn't hesitate this time. After his body was tempered, the "Big Stomach King" talent had reached its upper limit, with no further improvement possible. There was no need to choose it.
Jiang Yifeng had wanted to choose the *Tianxuan Gong* (Immortal Dao Mentality) for a long time, but he wasn't in a rush. The mentality was available, and he could select it during any simulation. He would find the right moment to choose it later.
Soon, Jiang Yifeng made his decision.
"I choose spirit stones (2000 pieces) and martial arts cultivation (perfect body tempering)."
[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining 2000 spirit stones. 2000 energy value has been deducted. Remaining energy value is 7.8 billion...]
[Martial arts cultivation (perfect body tempering) was successfully extracted. 10 energy value has been deducted. Remaining energy value is 7.8 billion...]
Jiang Yifeng suddenly felt a warm current passing through his body, and his bones made a slight "cracking" sound.
He understood that this was the simulator improving his martial arts cultivation.
There was a slight pain during the process, but fortunately, it didn't take long.
After the improvement, Jiang Yifeng clenched his fist and could clearly feel his strength had increased several times.
He almost wanted to shout, "Who else!"
Fortunately, he was still rational and quickly controlled his impulse.
The cultivation was in place, but Jiang Yifeng looked around for a long time and couldn't find the spirit stones.
He couldn't help but call out softly.
"Simulator, simulator, where are the spirit stones?"
[Ding, the spirit stones have been placed in the host's storage ring. Please check it yourself!]
Jiang Yifeng quickly checked his storage ring.
Sure enough, 2000 spirit stones were stacked inside.
All rewards had been confirmed.
Jiang Yifeng glanced at the remaining simulation opportunities in the simulator and wondered whether he should continue the simulation.
The simulator could store 3 simulation opportunities, and there was still half a month left until the upper limit.
Could the energy value accumulate enough during this period to upgrade the simulator?
Could Housekeeper Jiang Dafu manage to bring back 200 boxes of gold, silver, and jewelry within half a month?
Jiang Yifeng wasn't sure, but he decided to wait.
After making his decision, Jiang Yifeng left Jiang Mansion and walked toward Chunyan Building.
The character of a dandy boy was unshakable.
However, Jiang Yifeng always subconsciously observed the crowd on the street as he walked.
Especially those dressed in black clothes; he even wanted to stay away from them.
The days spent listening to music at the brothel passed quickly.
Half a month flew by.
At this point, Jiang Yifeng's simulation count reached 3 again.
And Housekeeper Jiang Dafu had been quite reliable.
200 boxes of gold, silver, and jewelry had just been delivered and were now placed in the basement of Jiang Yifeng's mansion.
Now, the basement was filled with more than a thousand boxes.
Of course, most of them were empty boxes Jiang Yifeng used to cover his tracks.
Ignoring the empty boxes, Jiang Yifeng placed his hands on the 200 boxes of gold, silver, and jewelry.
He exchanged them one by one for energy value.
As Jiang Yifeng exchanged, 200 more empty boxes appeared in the basement.
[Ding, exchanged for 3.8 billion energy value. Remaining energy value is 12.6 billion...]
...
After some time, Jiang Yifeng was a little stunned.
What's going on? 10 billion energy value still isn't enough for an upgrade?
Jiang Yifeng frowned, wondering if he had made a mistake.
So, he tried silently calling out: "Simulator, upgrade?"
[Ding, the host's strength is detected to be too low and does not meet the upgrade conditions!]
[Solemnly remind the host that the next upgrade conditions for this simulator are: 1 billion energy value, and either the immortal way or martial arts cultivation must reach the second major realm.]
"Fuck, why didn't you say that earlier?!"
Jiang Yifeng was going crazy. He had always wanted to wait until the simulator upgraded, then draw a better talent and quickly improve his strength.
Instead, he now learned that the energy value was enough to upgrade the simulator, but what he lacked was strength and realm.
Wasn't this a joke?
Jiang Yifeng's frustration didn't get a response from the simulator.
He shook his head helplessly.
This might be the trouble of being rich. The energy value was obviously enough to upgrade the simulator.
Now, it had to display an ellipsis because of insufficient strength.
It seemed the simulator didn't expect that it had bound a wealthy host who didn't have to worry about energy value at all.
It appeared that Jiang Yifeng would need to work harder to improve his strength in the future simulations.
With that in mind, Jiang Yifeng did not hesitate anymore and silently called in his heart, "Start simulation!"
[Consumed 1 simulation opportunity. 2 remaining.]
[Drawing green talents consumes 1000 energy points. Drawing blue talents consumes 10 energy points. Please choose.]
"Extract blue talent."
[Ding, deducting 10 energy points. Blue talent is being extracted. Remaining energy value is 12.6 billion...]
[Congratulations on obtaining blue talent: Luck +1]
[Luck +1]: Your luck is slightly better than ordinary people's.
Jiang Yifeng looked at this luck-related talent, unsure if it was good or not.
He didn't dwell on it for long and instead focused on the development of the simulator.
[The 8th simulation begins.]
[You realize that you have entered the simulation.]
[On the first day, you left a letter at home and sneaked out of Qingshan City at night.]
[On the fourth day, you arrived at the ruins of Tianxuan Temple in the Changqing Mountains.]
[On the fifth day, you cleaned the ruins, buried all the bones, and built an exquisite cemetery.]
[At the same time, you obtained the immortal heart method "Tianxuan Gong."]
[In the following days, you practiced the nameless method every day. The rest of the time, apart from finding food, you dedicated yourself to practicing "Tianxuan Gong."]
[In the first year, you consumed 6 spirit stones, and your immortal cultivation level improved.]
[In the second year, you consumed 6 spirit stones again, and you felt that you were close to reaching the fourth level of Qi Refining.]
[In the third year, a woman in white suddenly appeared and mistook you for a disciple of the ruins sect.]
[Three days later, when she was about to leave, she intended to give you life-saving items and resources.]
[But upon realizing you already possessed everything, she simply waved her hand and bid you farewell.]
[After the woman in white left, you felt a little depressed, realizing you had carelessly left your cultivation resources unhidden.]
[You didn't care about the breath-suppressing talisman and the transmission jade plate; either one would suffice. But you didn't get the spirit stones, which made you feel a little distressed.]
[Now, given the situation, you have no choice.]
[You plan to work hard to improve your cultivation and meet the simulator upgrade conditions.]
[You don't feel safe here, so you pack up and prepare to leave.]
[As for where to go, you hesitate for a moment.]
[From your inference, the black-clothed man who attacked the Jiang family in the previous simulation wasn't chasing you intentionally.]
[In fact, with the Breath-Retaining Talisman, as long as you don't expose your cultivation and your luck doesn't turn too bad, you should be safe.]
[But all of that is just an inference and hasn't been verified. For the sake of safety, you decide to head toward the Death Desert.]
[That's where you survived the longest in many simulations. Although an accident occurred the second time, you have a plan now.]
[You think that as long as you don't spill too much blood, you should be fine.]
[In the fourth year, you reduce your cultivation time and spend most of your time traveling. You follow the route in the incomplete Death Desert Map you obtained earlier.]
