Chapter 1: Crossing Simulator

Yellow Maple Valley!
Yuelu Hall, underground fire room No. 13.

Red underground fire continuously gushed out from the dragon's head, as if it was endless. However, there was no furnace above the underground fire, and it was just allowed to burn continuously.

Next to the flame, a young man with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes was sitting cross-legged on the ground. He had a handsome face and an extraordinary temperament. Anyone who saw him would call him a fairy boy.

There was a blazing fire nearby, the flames licking the air and making crackling sounds, but the boy did not feel the heat was unbearable. His expression was calm, and the heat waves from the outside could not invade his state of mind.

The boy placed his hands naturally on his knees, palms facing up, staring at the dancing flames motionlessly.

After an unknown amount of time, the young man suddenly opened his mouth and sucked, and a wisp of flame was suddenly sucked out of the ground fire's mouth, and then he carefully swallowed it into his stomach.

Then the eerie calm returned to the underground fire room, with only the underground fire still jumping.

This process was repeated dozens of times before it finally stopped completely.

Then the young man raised his hand, and a ball of red flame appeared in his palm. It looked exactly like the earth fire.

"This old demon's Flame Skill is indeed extraordinary. He can actually use this rootless fire to refine a fire seed."

"Even if I learn to make pills in the future, I won't have to spend spirit stones to come to this Earth Fire Palace."

Feeling a series of changes in his body, Xiao Wuji was as happy as a half-grown child. The last time he was so happy was last time.

In this age where time travel is popular, it is no surprise that Xiao Wuji also became one of the many time travelers, and unfortunately traveled to the mortal world of immortal cultivation with scarce resources.

Fortunately, I have the benefits of being a time traveler, otherwise life would be really unbearable.

Xiao Wuji’s golden finger is called the Time Travel Simulator.

Every month, he gets a chance to simulate time travel, which lasts for a month. If it is not used before the next simulator refresh, it will be overwritten.

During the simulation, his memory and soul are used as the starting point of his simulation in another world on the day when the simulation is started.

The simulation ends when the Sim dies or ten years have passed.

Every time the life simulator simulates life, it will appear in his mind in the form of text. After the simulation, the life simulator will randomly select three things that appeared in the text for him to choose.

The things that can be drawn in the Life Simulator include any natural treasures, powerful talents, skills, weapons and equipment, life insights, and even some living things.

Except for the real realm of cultivation, he can choose any other one as long as he has drawn it.

Although this function is not as good as those systems that can kill everyone in seconds or hit everyone with one sword, Xiao Wuji is already content. After all, he might as well be happy if he has a plug-in.

After traveling through this world for more than 16 years, he has simulated it 200 times in total, but there are only three other worlds where he can truly practice, and only two of them are well-known. This is also the biggest pitfall of the golden finger. But as I said, just be happy if you have it.

In two hundred simulations, only a handful of people were able to live for a full ten years, and only three things were extracted that were useful to them.

Apart from the Flame Art and Burning Art from the Doupo world, his only nine and a half years of experience in drawing talismans was still useful in a world on the verge of the end of the law.

The rest are useless things like RMB 100,000, a breath of fresh air, and a sip of salty soda.

"Ah, to be honest, I have the fire, and I have practiced the burning technique, but why am I getting further and further away from drawing talismans?"

That’s right, after practicing for sixteen years, Xiao Wuji has never had even one experience in alchemy.

Firstly, medicinal materials are hard to find. Secondly, although he can draw talismans, he doesn't earn much spiritual stones. He just barely practices, so where can he waste extra spiritual stones on alchemy? Moreover, although the things needed for drawing talismans are the easiest to buy and the cheapest, the horrible failure rate also makes many people lose more than they earn. And the reason he can make money is based on the nine years of experience in drawing talismans that he has gained out of thin air.

He started learning to draw talismans after he reached the fourth level of Qi Refining at the age of eight. It has been nine years now. Adding his own nine years of simulated experience, he has a total of eighteen years of experience in drawing talismans.

However, there are only six types of talismans that he can successfully draw with a success rate of more than 50%, and only two of them are intermediate-level talismans.

This is not to say that he will not draw other talismans, but he will not draw them if it is not necessary, because - he will lose money.

"Oh no, it's almost ten days. After ten days, I have to pay another batch of spirit stones."

This underground fire room is not free to use, but charges on a daily basis, two spirit stones are required every ten days. Although two spirit stones are not a lot, he is so poor that he can only save every piece.

After quickly packing up his things and closing the underground fire hole, Xiao Wuji hurriedly pushed the door open and walked out. Then, in the face of the ugly man guarding the underground fire room, who looked as if he had eaten a fly, he walked away.

However, when Xiao Wuji left Yuelu Palace, that ugly expression appeared on his face again. Because Yuelu Palace was not something that could be entered and exited at will, one had to go through a teleportation array to enter and exit, and the price of opening the teleportation array was one spirit stone.

Xuankun Mountain is a place where only disciples who have reached the tenth level of Qi Refining can live. They can even open up caves on this mountain at will.

Xiao Wuji's cave was on a cliff on the mountain, and there was a mountain spring flowing down beside the cave gate. Xiao Wuji also planted all kinds of spiritual medicines that could grow on the cliff. Although the years were very short, they made the entire cliff green, and the scenery was quite unique.

He jumped off the Qingye magic weapon and landed directly in front of the cave entrance, on a maple tree growing on the cliff. Then he pushed open a heavy stone door and walked in.

Because he had no money to buy the formation and was afraid that someone would disturb his practice, he chose such a place to build a cave. However, over the years, he became more and more fond of this cave with the style of a master.

The cave here is extremely simple, with only a small stone room. In the middle of the room there is a table for drawing talismans. Apart from that, the only thing that can be considered furniture is the cold jade bed in the corner.

It's not that he was unwilling to build a better cave, but the rock was too hard and extremely difficult to dig. He didn't have any high-end magic weapon, so he had to put it aside.

He walked straight to the bed, took off his shoes and sat on it, with his five hearts facing the sky, practicing the Burning Technique.

The level of the martial arts in the Doupo world is related to the speed of refining the heaven and earth qi, and the same is true for the martial arts in the mortal world. Unlike the one-step-through method in the Doupo world, the martial arts in the mortal world pay more attention to gradual progress. Every time there is a breakthrough, you can immediately switch to a higher level of martial arts. The heaven and earth qi refined each time is just the limit that the body can bear. This is also the reason why this world divides the martial arts into many levels. If the cultivation is not enough, forcing the martial arts of the next level will very likely lead to the reversal of the true essence and the disorder of the meridians. (ps. This is described in Chapter 540 of the Mortal Cultivation Biography.)
The speed of the low-level Yellow Grade Burning Technique in refining the heaven and earth vital energy is the same as that of the tenth-level Qi Refining Technique. In order to successfully switch to the Burning Technique, he also specially found a mundane body refining technique to strengthen his muscles and bones, so that he could practice smoothly. Now that he has swallowed another earth fire, although the Burning Technique has not evolved, the speed of refining the heaven and earth vital energy has increased a bit. Xiao Wuji's physique suddenly seemed to be insufficient. After only practicing for an hour or so, he felt a tingling sensation in his meridians.

"call!"

Xiao Wuji exhaled a breath of foul air and said with a little helplessness:

"Really? If I had known it would be so troublesome, I would not have switched to practicing the Burning Technique."

Dou Qi is different from spiritual Qi. Dou Qi is violent, so one cannot practice martial arts before reaching the level of a fighter, because even the lowest level of martial arts is enough to break a person's meridians. Therefore, before practicing martial arts, one must go through the Dou Qi stage to warm up the meridians.

But while Dou Qi is violent, it also has the effect of tempering the meridians. While practicing, it also invisibly tempers the meridians to be more solid, so it is much easier to change the skills in the later stage. After Dou Zong, the meridians become even more indestructible, and can even withstand the violent absorption method of the Tianjie skills.

On the contrary, gentle spiritual energy does not have this effect, so if you want to practice a higher level of martial arts, you must first practice to a higher level, and this is no exception even for body-refining martial arts. This is why some people forcefully practice a lower level of martial arts and end up hurting their meridians.

Therefore, he urgently needed a technique that could improve the endurance of his meridians, otherwise he would not be able to practice happily.

Of course, there are benefits as well. The results of just a few hours of practice are comparable to half a day of practice in the past.

"Forget it. It just happens that I can spare some more time to draw talismans! And I can earn more spirit stones."
