A few days later, at the highest peak of the Divine Wind Sect.
Lin Fang, wearing a black robe with golden engravings, was sitting cross-legged with a focused expression on his face. In front of him, was seated a frail looking old man wearing bright green robes, his deep eyes seeming to peer through everything.
If anyone from the sect or even the surrounding sects were to see this old man, they would be stupefied because this seemingly simple old man is the strongest cultivator in the Divine Wind Sect, the sect's supreme elder.
"That is everything I could teach you for now.", said the old man with an amiable smile.
Lin Fang interjected hurriedly, "Master, can't you teach me some battle techniques too?"
Lin Fang had just learned a qi cultivation technique named Brilliant Core Scripture, which the supreme elder had personally found in a hidden ruin in his youth. This extremely overbearing technique leads straight to the peak of the golden core stage, but can only be cultivated by light spirit root cultivators.
Lin Fang has discovered these few days that his comprehension speed is very mediocre, and were it not for his master guiding him and even using a treasure that lets him supervise Lin Fang's internal qi circulation, he would have never even comprehended the technique.
This didn't come as a surprise to him, as he knew that for some reason this world had a personal vendetta against him, giving him the most hellish start with the worst talents, and were it not for the simulator, he would still be struggling to survive in that small village.
Since that's the case, he had to make the most use of every simulation. So he was hoping to get dozens of booklets containing battle techniques and learn everything in one simulation.
"Disciple Fang...", the supreme elder paused with a slight frown on his face, "Don't bite off more than you can chew, you should breakthrough to qi refining level 1 first."
Lin Fang nodded with a disappointed expression, "Master, how long did it take you to breakthrough to qi refining?"
In the past few days, while he was getting his robes and identification talisman, he had heard so much about this old man, everyone was praising him as the sect's best genius of a millennium, which made him especially curious about this old man's accomplishments.
The supreme elder paused for a long time before answering, a hint of mischief in his eyes, "Reaching qi refining level 1 means becoming a true cultivator, and signifies that you have finally grasped control of one of the deadliest and most mysterious forces in this world: True Qi! It is completely different from the qi that you have cultivated as a martial artist, in fact, the difference between them is like the difference between heaven and earth."
Seeing Lin Fang's completely focused face, he continued explaining with a smile, "I took 3 days to become a true cultivator, but do not be pressured, your master was a genius among geniuses."
Lin Fang bowed respectfully before leaving the mountain peak and going towards his new quarters, which were in the core sect grounds.
While walking through the sect grounds, Lin Fang was awed by the opulence and extravagance of the sect, disciples wearing all kinds of treasures some of which could create wars outside were as common as clouds, and Towering structures, the kind that would take mortals years to build, stood proudly in every direction.
The disciples who saw Lin Fang would move out of the way respectfully , worship evident in their gaze, after all, they all knew what a black and gold robe meant.
Once he reached the core sect grounds, he had to pick up the pace since the quarters here were dozens of times bigger than the accommodations of the inner and outer disciples.
Finally reaching his quarters, he paused slightly to admire the vast fantasy like villa that he could never have dreamed of before, then he rushed towards his bed, sitting cross legged and calling out with excitement, "Status window"
[Endless Slaughter Simulator]
[Host: Lin Fang]
[Age: 18(37)]
[Cultivation realm: Innate master]

[Talents: calm and collected(blue grade), Superieur martial body(blue grade), sword genius(green grade), mid grade light spirit roots(blue grade)]
[souls: 45]
Lin Fang proudly admired his ever-expanding status window, before thinking about his next simulation, 'The supreme sect elder took 3 days to reach qi refining level 1, which is indeed something only a genius could achieve', he thought to himself, 'but what is a genius in front of the unreasonable simulator?'
'However, a monster would be dissected,' Lin Fang thought to himself, his eyes sharp with calculation. He knew that the speed at which he could cultivate with the simulator was far beyond what anyone would believe. He couldn't afford to expose his secrets.
His master took three days to reach Qi Refining Level 1, a feat of peerless genius. He would simply take a day, 'that seems pretty reasonable to me', he thought with a wide grin.
"Court death after Qi Refining Level 1", he repeatedly murmured, drilling this thought into his mind.
"Simulate", he announced.
[Does host wish to spend 16 souls to simulate?]
"Yes," he affirmed.
[Ding, simulation starting...]
[Ding, Talent refresh in progress...]
[Congratulations! You have refreshed the following talents:]
[Venomous mouth (white grade): Your mouth is so venomous that a normal conversation can turn into a full-on brawl.]
[Endless Pockets (green grade): The user can store infinite items in their sleeves but never remember where anything is when they need it.]
[gambling expert (white grade): the user has insane luck and talent in gambling]
Lin Fang's eyes lit up. "This is perfect! The simulator's weird talents can finally be of use" he said with a low chuckle. He decisively chose Venomous Mouth, which is exactly what he needed to make his courting death plans succeed.
