The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 10: Chapter 9: Ethyl Wood and Fire

[Simulation ended, you can choose to retain one of the following rewards.]

[One: Sixth-grade Martial Arts Realm.]

[Two: The first four levels of "Yi Wood and Li Fire Skill" and cultivation insights.]

Although there are only two choices this time, Pei Xuanjing felt a bit hesitant and hesitant, and did not make a decision immediately as before.

The first option of the sixth-grade martial artist realm is something he has longed for, given that he is currently at the Seventh-grade Realm Complete, should he breakthrough, this would be a significant power enhancement.

However, this "Yi Wood and Li Fire Skill" and cultivation insights are equally important to him, because his current cultivation has reached its limit, without the subsequent cultivation techniques, even if he breaks through to the sixth-grade, he won't be able to continue cultivation for a while.

Whether to breakthrough immediately or to gain knowledge in skills, this decision is tough to make.

After much deliberation, he finally chose the second option.

If given only one chance, he would undoubtedly choose the first option of realm. But as he has the life simulator, he only needs enough Taoyun, and then he can have plenty of opportunities to break through the realm in the following simulations. There's no need to haste.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Even if he increases his strength through the simulator, why shouldn't he choose the option with the firmest foundation?

Once he has made up his mind, the method for cultivating the first four stages of "Yi Wood and Li Fire Skill" and some subsequent speculative insights appear clearly in his heart.

Great Ming's definition of martial studies is simple. Those that can't assist a martial artist to break through the ninth-grade are considered as inferior; those capable of sustaining cultivation to the seventh-grade but not breaking through the sixth-grade are classified as low-level martial studies; those that can be cultivated to the fourth-grade but can't break through the third-grade are considered as medium-level martial studies; whereas those that can break through the third-grade can be referred to as high-level martial studies.

However, high-level martial studies are the secret techniques of top sects, even possessing only one medium-level martial study would suffice to establish a middle-tier sect family.

This method, based on Yi Wood Skill and Li Fire Skill, generated through the interdependence and restraint of the Five Elements, is now considered a middle-level martial study.

Regarding Mortal Martial Studies, although Five Elements attributes are common and not as impressive as Wind and Thunder, Rain and Snow, and Sun and Moon, they are the most widespread, with the most practitioners and simplest to learn.

Pei Xuanjing is pleased. Currently, he is only using Wood Generates Fire and Fire is Fuelled by Wood.

But there's room for future development. If he can later add the attributes of Earth, Metal, and Water and integrate them to form the Five Elements cycle, it will surely become a high-level martial study.

Now that he has obtained the method, Pei Xuanjing is ready to begin seclusion. He plans to disperse the Inner Qi in his body and start new cultivation.

He calls Mr. Xu and informs him about his seclusion. Apart from requesting daily meal deliveries, he also asks for all the medicinal herbs and supplements accumulated over the past two years for his cultivation.

Three days later, in the secret chamber of the Taoist temple, Pei Xuanjing sits on his meditation cushion, starting to disperse his cultivation.

An hour later, his Inner Qi is entirely dispersed, and no Inner Qi remains.

Even if he has lost his Inner Qi, his Seventh-Grade Realm would not vanish, and the skin, muscles, and tendons that were nourished and transformed to the utmost by the Inner Qi would not become weak due to the temporary disappearance of the Inner Qi.

Relying solely on his physical strength now, without using any Inner Qi, he can also fight against an Eighth-grade Martial Artist. This is why he has the courage to disperse his Inner Qi.

However, he doesn't delay for long. Immediately, he takes off his clothes and enters a wooden bath prepared in advance.

The tub is a cubic zhang in width and height, with burning charcoal at its Qing Shi slate base to maintain the water temperature inside the tub.

He steps into the tub and sits, starting to operate "Yi Wood and Li Fire Skill", a new Inner Qi is formed in his Dantian.

[During comprehension, Taoyun+10.]

[During comprehension, Taoyun+30.]

...

Numerous prompts appear in his head, Pei Xuanjing ignores them, and fully immerses himself in operating the method, allowing the Inner Qi to circulate in his meridians, constantly expanding.

One day, Pei Xuanjing has both his slightly shut eyes abruptly wide open in the original wooden tub, a spark of vividness flickers in his pupils, his face revealed joy.

Success!

After three months of time and using almost two years of accumulated wealth from the Everlasting Observance, he finally cultivated his Inner Qi back again, and it is even more powerful than before.

Initially, even if he had cultivated both Yi Wood Skill and Li Fire Skill to the third level simultaneously, he could fuse the two types of Inner Qi together to unleash an immense power.

But this type of fusion is temporary; his Internal Qi essentially remained as two distinct attributes at its roots. To achieve complete fusion is probably as lengthy as in the simulation, requiring at least nine years of meticulous effort.

Now it's different, his inner Qi is unified, able to mimic both the vitality of wood and the explosion of fire.

This time, he could feel that his Inner Qi is purer. Even without the help of the simulator, he is confident that he can gradually transform these Inner Qi into True Qi within three to five years, breaking through to the Sixth-grade Realm based on his endurance.

Of course, there are also some other gains.

To be clear, besides the insights derived from the methods and notes left by others, one's personal cultivation can also gain some Taoyun for the life simulator.

Previously, during his own refining of the notes left by his predecessors to accumulate Taoyun, his daily cultivation routine could also gain him some Taoyun. However, these were meager additions, they are a mere drop in the bucket compared to the Taoyun required for each simulation.

But this latest cultivation session had him gain a staggering 1300+ Taoyun over just a short three-month period, which was entirely beyond his expectations.

According to the feedback from the simulator, the host was cultivating with his own created method. Compared to repeating the insights of others, creating his own method made him like a pioneer. All understanding is unique, resulting in an unexpectedly large amount of Taoyun.

It seems this choice was not in vain. Instead, it accidentally unlocked another method of accumulating Taoyun more quickly.

This retreat was a win-win situation.

After coming out of seclusion, he learned from Mr. Xu about the current situation in the city. Apart from Jiang Yan still engaging in plots and intrigues with the Zhang Family, there was nothing else going on.

After recuperating for half a month and regaining his peak physical and mental state, he prepared some food and medicinal materials to replenish his energy. Pei Xuanjing is ready for the next simulation.
