[ Day 3: After a night passed, your body was somehow stained with a bloody smell.
Although you were a little puzzled, you thought it might have been from slaying High Rising and others, so you didn't pay it any mind.
You simply changed your clothes and continued to flee south.
After escaping another hundred li in one breath, you found that no one was chasing you from behind.
So you decided to find a safe place and first use up the Gathering Spirit Pills on your person. ]
[ Day 12: You used up all your Gathering Spirit Pills and more than ten Low-Grade Spirit Stones, and your cultivation broke through to the Qi Refining Eighth Stage.
Full of confidence, you embarked on your journey again. ]
[ Day 16: You finally arrived at Luo Xia Sect and found a steward, proposing that you wished to join.
However, the other party felt your origins were unclear and rejected your request.
Filled with disappointment, you prepared to leave this place.
You walked aimlessly for an unknown duration when you suddenly discovered an extremely beautiful female cultivator ahead.
You originally intended to take a detour and leave, but this female cultivator looked on the verge of tears and said, 'This is already the third time; what do I have to do to join Luo Xia Sect?'
For some reason, your heart suddenly softened.
Unknowingly, you walked in front of that female cultivator.
After a brief conversation, you learned that her name was Liu Jiaochan, and she was also a pitiful person who earnestly yearned to walk the righteous Dao.
You regarded her as a confidante.
That night, you spent a wonderful night by the gurgling stream. ]
[ Day 17: You learned for the first time that such a wonderful thing existed in the world and continued to be intimate. ]
[ Day 18: Your spirits became even more exuberant. ]
[ Day 19: You felt a bit weak and wanted to rest for two days.
But for some reason, your head suddenly spun, and you continued to be intimate. ]
[ Day 20: Continued to be intimate. ]
[ Day 21: Continued to be intimate. ]
[ Day 25: You became increasingly weak, but your mood was very high. ]
[ Day 28: After intimacy, you wanted to get up and fetch some water, but you fell headfirst into a puddle. ]
[ You died! ]
Xu Changxing: "…"
He really didn't know what to say.
Because he had indeed planned to try his luck at Luo Xia Sect before, he never expected to fall into the hands of a demoness.
Xu Changxing could only wait speechlessly for this settlement.
Soon, the System's voice sounded again.
[ Simulation ended ]
[ Evaluation: You died, but it was very enjoyable ]
[ Based on the simulation results, you can choose one of the following rewards ]
[ 1. Watch the video footage from the simulated life from a first-person perspective ]
[ 2. Qi Refining Eighth Stage cultivation ]
In the previous few times, Xu Changxing had always unhesitatingly chosen the second option, but this time he hesitated a little.
It wasn't that he wanted to see how enjoyable it was for him, but rather he wanted to know how he died.
What if after seeing it, he could avoid such a situation?
After struggling for a moment, Xu Changxing ultimately decided to choose the first option.
The reason for this was that he still had over one hundred thirty Spirit Stones in his hand.
If he was at the Qi Refining Seventh Stage Realm, he could simulate twice.
But if he chose the Qi Refining Eighth Stage cultivation, the Spirit Stones required for simulation would increase to one hundred twenty-eight.
In other words, if he didn't choose the cultivation, he would very likely have two simulation opportunities.
If he chose the cultivation, he could only simulate once more.
Compared to the Qi Refining Seventh Stage, the Qi Refining Eighth Stage did not have a significant qualitative change.
That is to say, the gain from choosing cultivation was not particularly large.
It was due to this consideration that he chose to watch his previous experiences.
After making his choice, the previous text instantly transformed into scenes of images, appearing in his mind.
He watched the entire process quickly at a hundred times the speed, as if watching a movie.
During the viewing, Xu Changxing discovered that this footage not only had visuals and sound but even retained smells and sensations.
It was as if he was watching everything he experienced from a first-person perspective.
However, when playing the footage, buttons like fast forward, pause, and skip were suspended in front of his eyes, which significantly reduced his immersion.
Half an hour later, he let out a long breath and said:
"This was too enjoyable.
Hmm, next time I see this demoness, I must strike first and not give her a chance to charm me!"
In the recent observation, he discovered that the female cultivator from Yin Yang Sect actually did not have high cultivation, otherwise he wouldn't have lasted ten days.
As long as he could be vigilant in advance, he should be able to break free from her charm.
After pondering for a moment, Xu Changxing stood up from the ground.
He did not choose to continue simulating but instead rushed south following the route of the previous simulation.
Although Yin Corpse Sect did not care about the lives of Outer Sect Disciples, he had just killed High Rising, so lingering here for too long was not a wise choice.
Since the first half of the route in the previous simulation was safe, he naturally had to leave first.
He concealed his aura as he had envisioned before and ran for a day, and indeed saw the dilapidated temple from the footage.
He was about to approach, but unexpectedly found that there was already someone inside.
Xu Changxing was first startled, then immediately understood what was happening.
The person in the dilapidated temple was that hunter.
In the simulation footage, Xu Changxing arrived here first, which was why he occupied the dilapidated temple.
But this time, he was delayed for half an hour while browsing the simulation footage, which caused him to arrive late.
This dilapidated temple had already been occupied by the hunter.
Xu Changxing frowned and planned to find another place to rest.
Just as he was about to leave, a strong bloody smell suddenly emanated from the dilapidated temple.
This bloody smell was even stronger than the scene where he had slain High Rising.
'What is this hunter doing inside? How could he make such a strong bloody smell? Isn't he afraid of attracting fierce beasts?'
As Xu Changxing thought of this, his heart suddenly stirred.
He suddenly remembered that in the previous simulation, his body seemed to have been stained with a bloody smell as well.
However, he didn't pay it any mind at the time and chose to continue on his way.
Recalling it now, that bloody smell seemed not fresh, and it carried a hint of old, rotten odor.
'It seems I missed some side quest during the simulation.
So, should I go and see it now?'
If it were in the past, Xu Changxing would most likely run as far as possible and would not get involved in such matters at all.
But recently, his strength had surged, and his confidence was much greater than before.
In addition, in the previous simulation, he had already rested here for a night, and nothing happened.
This indicated that whatever was in the dilapidated temple was clearly wary of him.
After a brief thought, he finally decided to go and see.
Xu Changxing concealed his aura and slowly approached the dilapidated temple.
