Time flew by, and a week passed in the blink of an eye.
During this time, Jiang Yifeng still spent his days idling in the brothel, listening to music out of sheer boredom.
Now that the number of simulations had been refreshed, he immediately returned to his room, ready to begin a new round of simulations.
He whispered, "Start simulation."
[Consume 1 simulation, remaining: 0.]
[Drawing blue talent consumes 10 energy points. Drawing purple talent consumes 100 energy points. Please choose your draw!]
"Draw purple talent," Jiang Yifeng said decisively.
[Ding! Deducting 100 energy points. Purple talent is being drawn. Remaining energy: 11.1 billion...]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the talent: *Disaster Body.*]
[*Disaster Body*: People or objects around you will constantly encounter unforeseen disasters. However, your vitality is tenacious, and your cultivation speed is doubled.]
After seeing the talent drawn, Jiang Yifeng was at a loss for words.
On the one hand, it was impressive—enhanced cultivation speed was undoubtedly a great advantage. On the other hand, the consequences seemed rather troublesome.
This talent would undeniably harm others while benefiting himself. His relatives and friends would probably face endless misfortunes if he accepted it.
Jiang Yifeng mulled over whether to keep this talent as a reward after the simulation. He hadn't yet reached a decision.
He wanted to gauge how serious the consequences of this unforeseen disaster truly were. If the side effects were tolerable, the talent might still be worth taking.
So, he turned his attention to the development in the simulator.
---
[The 14th simulation begins.]
[You quickly realized that you had entered a simulation.]
[This time, you decided not to leave the Jiang Mansion in a hurry.]
[You wanted to observe how severe the repercussions of the *Disaster Body* talent could be.]
[On the first day, your maid Xiaotao brought you hot water to wash up. As soon as she entered the room, she tripped over the threshold and spilled the scalding water on herself.]
[On the second day, a team of patrolling guards passed by your courtyard. Suddenly, the wall of your courtyard collapsed, injuring three people.]
[On the third day, the butler, Jiang Dafu, brought workers to repair the wall. However, the wall collapsed again, and Jiang Dafu sustained a head injury.]
[On the fourth day, you heard troubling news. Jiang Mansion's business faced significant issues with a batch of defective goods, forcing them to sell properties on a large scale to compensate buyers.]
[On the fifth day, while your father was sleeping, a venomous snake slithered into his room and bit him. He fell into a coma from the poisoning.]
[On the sixth day, you decided not to push your luck any further. The consequences of the *Disaster Body* were far worse than you had imagined.]
[That night, you snuck into your father's room and used your spiritual energy to expel the snake venom from his body.]
[Afterward, you left Qingshan City under the cover of darkness, worried that staying any longer would bring ruin to your entire family.]
[On the eighth day, you arrived at the ruins of Tianxuan Temple.]
[On the ninth day, you tidied up the area and buried all the skeletal remains scattered among the ruins.]
[You then began to cultivate in solitude.]
[In the first year, you consumed over 20,000 spiritual stones from your reserves.]
[Your accelerated cultivation speed, thanks to the *Disaster Body*, depleted resources faster. However, the results of polishing your golden elixir this year were undeniably impressive.]
[Interestingly, you no longer needed to venture out hunting for food.]
[Animals near you frequently suffered unforeseen accidents, providing you with an unexpected supply of meat. Injured rabbits, birds with broken wings, and wild animals crushed under falling trees became regular sights.]
[You realized these incidents were caused by the *Disaster Body*. The creatures were simply too close to you, succumbing to misfortune.]
[Despite feeling sorry for them, you couldn't let their deaths go to waste. Their lives became a source of sustenance as you grilled them over a fire.]
[In the second year, your lack of spirit stones slowed your cultivation efficiency somewhat.]
[Nevertheless, misfortunes continued to befall animals and plants in your vicinity.]
[You noticed the flowers, grass, and trees around you withering. Their vibrancy seemed to drain away as they stood too close to you.]
[Inwardly, you apologized but continued your cultivation.]
[By the third year, the area surrounding the ruins of Tianxuan Temple had become a desolate wasteland. Yellowed weeds and broken trees were all that remained.]
[You couldn't help but feel bitter as you surveyed the barren land.]
[You knew that the "cash machine," Bai Ruoxue, would be arriving soon. You worried that if she saw the lifeless state of this place, you might lose her support.]
[With growing unease, you began clearing away the dead weeds and broken trees in an attempt to make the area presentable.]
[One day, Bai Ruoxue arrived unexpectedly.]
[You were still engrossed in cleaning up the area and failed to notice her presence.]
[Bai Ruoxue surveyed the surroundings, a sorrowful expression on her face.]
[She remembered sneaking here with her senior brother many years ago. At that time, the area was lush and full of life.]
[Now, it was utterly devoid of vitality.]
[Unaware that the changes were caused by your *Disaster Body*, Bai Ruoxue attributed the desolation to lightning strikes.]
[After a brief moment of grief, Bai Ruoxue approached and questioned your identity. You answered truthfully.]
[Intrigued, Bai Ruoxue examined you thoroughly.]
[When she assessed your golden elixir, her expression turned to one of disbelief. She looked at you as if she had seen a ghost.]
[Bai Ruoxue felt her understanding of cultivation being challenged. The sight of a tenth-grade golden elixir with unconnected lines was unprecedented.]
[Though shocked, Bai Ruoxue's excitement began to grow. She was convinced you weren't from the Xianlin Sect.]
[Having also discerned your bone age, she marveled at the fact that you were only twenty years old and already possessed a tenth-grade golden elixir.]
[Despite its flaws, she believed it could still be salvaged. If corrected, you might even achieve the legendary eleventh-grade golden elixir.]
[In Bai Ruoxue's eyes, you were now a rare, unpolished gem.]
[She silently vowed to nurture you, confident that you could rewrite history by achieving the eleventh-grade golden elixir.]
[She imagined you breaking free from the forbidden land and challenging the immortals in the heavens, avenging her senior brother.]
[Her heart swelled with anticipation as she immersed herself in grand visions of the future.]
