Jiang Yifeng quickly adjusted his thoughts and returned to the wooden house with the storage ring.
Although he knew Bai Ruoxue had given him resources this time to create some obstacles for the immortal slaves, it didn't change the fact that he benefited from the situation.
Jiang Yifeng opened the storage ring, and his mood instantly improved.
He counted the piles of spirit stones, discovering as many as 20,000 in total.
However, this time, there were no teleportation arrays or breath-retaining talismans included.
People's hearts were no longer the same. Once Bai Ruoxue realized he wasn't a disciple of Tianxuan Temple, she withheld any life-saving items.
It became clear that he was merely being treated as an expendable pawn.
Jiang Yifeng looked at Bai Ruoxue in the distance and chuckled to himself. "Hehe, you think of me as a joke? Little do you know I see you as an ATM!"
Glancing at the storage ring in his hand, Jiang Yifeng thought to himself, "Since I've asked my questions and taken advantage of the situation, that's enough for now."
He silently muttered, "End the deep simulation!"
In an instant, the scene before him changed, and he was back in the Jiang Mansion, in his bedroom.
Of course, in reality, he had never physically left. His consciousness had merely experienced the simulation.
Rubbing his head, Jiang Yifeng refrained from summarizing the gains from this deep simulation just yet. Instead, he turned his attention to the simulator.
[You acquired a large number of spirit stones from Bai Ruoxue but didn't use them for cultivation. Instead, you kept them securely.]
[Three days passed quickly, and Bai Ruoxue departed. Before leaving, she smiled and said, "Come on!"]
[Not long after Bai Ruoxue left, you also departed from the area.]
[However, this time, you didn't head straight for the Death Desert.]
[You remembered the Endless Sea, Flame Valley, and Ten Thousand Swords Forest mentioned by Bai Ruoxue, none of which you had heard of before.]
[You decided that since you had achieved the simulation's target rewards, there was no need to cultivate in fear any longer. You resolved to search for those places first.]
[In the fourth year, you purchased numerous maps but failed to locate those places.]
[Most of the maps only covered Dayou Country, Liang Country, and a few surrounding regions.]
[Among the four locations mentioned by Bai Ruoxue, the Death Desert was the only one recorded on the maps, though it was labeled merely as a desert, not with a specific name.]
[This realization made you suspect the southern region might be far larger than you initially thought.]
[Recognizing that most mortals could only travel limited distances in their lifetimes, you understood that finding the locations through maps was unrealistic.]
[As for asking others, you dismissed the idea, knowing that inquiries about such places would undoubtedly draw the attention of the immortal slaves Bai Ruoxue had warned about.]
[In the fifth year, you stopped purchasing maps and left the Great You Kingdom, traveling to Liang Country.]
[In the sixth year, you left Liang Country and ventured into the unfamiliar territory of Min Country.]
[By the tenth year, you had traveled further and encountered numerous unknown nations and tribes.]
[You seemed to abandon the search for the named locations, embarking instead on a genuine journey.]
[By the eighteenth year, you began to distance yourself from populated areas.]
[You discovered that it took one to two months of travel just to encounter one or two primitive tribes.]
[In the twenty-third year, you reached what seemed like the end of the road—a massive valley of flames.]
[The words "Flame Valley" surfaced in your mind instantly.]
[Overcome with joy, you exclaimed, "Finally, my persistence wasn't in vain."]
[You carefully wrote on a piece of paper: "Starting from Liang Country and heading east, you will eventually reach the Flame Valley."]
[You repeated the writing process hundreds of times to ensure the information would be remembered.]
[Still unsatisfied, you resolved to recite and copy the information at least ten times daily.]
Outside the simulator, Jiang Yifeng couldn't help but laugh.
Even the simulated version of himself had been so meticulous.
"If the simulation hadn't preserved this information, it might have been lost entirely," he thought.
Although the coordinates for Flame Valley might not hold immediate value, they could prove useful someday.
Smiling to himself, Jiang Yifeng felt like he had found a loophole in the simulator.
He gave himself a mental thumbs-up and continued reading.
[After recording the Flame Valley's location, you chose not to enter but instead began the return journey.]
[You traveled with an increased sense of urgency.]
[By the thirty-seventh year, you returned to Dayou Country.]
[During this time, nothing significant occurred. You remained well-hidden and avoided any encounters with immortal slaves.]
[You understood that the Breath-Retaining Talisman Bai Ruoxue had given you before likely played a major role in your safety.]
[In the thirty-eighth year, you entered the Death Desert.]
[By the forty-second year, you settled in an oasis within the desert, which seemed to match the location from a previous simulation.]
[In the forty-third year, you hid early, anticipating the demon dragon's emergence.]
[Later that year, the desert began to quake—a sign of the demon dragon's imminent birth.]
[You gazed into the distance and saw a figure in green battling the demon dragon. You recognized it as your father, Jiang Fushan.]
[Despite this, you had no intention of intervening. Instead, you rushed toward the demon dragon's lair.]
[With your enhanced strength, you covered thousands of miles in just a few hours.]
[Once inside the dragon's lair, you began searching frantically.]
[You even resorted to chiseling the golden rock walls to uncover hidden treasures.]
[After two days of relentless work, you heard a distinct "dong" sound.]
[Excitedly, you intensified your efforts, eventually creating a small opening in the wall.]
[Through the hole, you spotted a dragon egg within a confined space.]
[Overjoyed, you increased your chiseling speed.]
[As you worked, you muttered, "I wonder if I can take the dragon egg as a reward from the simulator!"]
[However, before you could implement this plan, a yellow-brown demon dragon descended from the sky, returning to its nest.]
[The demon dragon, sensing a threat to its egg, unleashed a torrent of dragon flames toward you.]
[You quickly activated the teleportation jade plate, vanishing from the spot and reappearing in the desert.]
