Chapter 2 Deep Blue! Simulate it for me.
"Qingyi, it is I who have wronged you, causing you to fall to this state." Zhou Chuan's expression was somber, his eyes filled with remorse.
"Back then, I thought it was a good deed to lead you onto the path of immortality, but who would have thought... it would end up like this."
Over the years, I have repeatedly pleaded with the head of the family, but alas... his time is drawing near, and he has refused to yield.
He sighed deeply, his brows furrowed with helplessness.
Li Qingyi recalled the past and secretly thought to herself:
"Zhou Chuan has indeed treated the original owner of this body quite well over the years. This attitude doesn't seem feigned. But... one should always be wary of others."
"Master is too kind," Li Qingyi said tactfully, her gaze fixed blankly on the roof.
Now that things have come to this, Li Qingyi is wary of everyone.
"Now that things have come to this, I will risk my life to fight for your survival." A resolute glint flashed in Zhou Chuan's eyes.
"Tomorrow at midnight, I will return to take you away."
Li Qingyi was wavering, unable to discern the truth from falsehood.
Seeing the hesitation on his face, Zhou Chuan immediately hardened his expression:
"I swear to the heavens that if everything goes as I predict, I will surely lead my beloved disciple Li Qingyi to escape tomorrow night. If I disobey, may I be struck down by heaven and earth and condemned to eternal damnation!"
Li Qingyi was horrified and turned pale. "Master, you..."
He knew that if one made a vow to Heaven in the cultivation world and failed to keep it, one would surely suffer divine retribution.
This resolute decision truly surprised Li Qingyi, leaving him ashamed. His wariness also lessened somewhat.
"Master, your disciple..."
Zhou Chuan interrupted, "It's alright. Did you... previously use your cultivation technique with Qin Xiyue to steal that wisp of innate moonlight from her body?"
"Qingyi, how could she possibly have such thoughts now?" Li Qingyi shook her head and smiled bitterly.
Zhou Chuan pondered for a moment, "Remember, if Qin Xiyue comes again tomorrow, you must take that wisp of primordial moonlight, it will greatly benefit your cultivation. I cannot stay any longer, lest I arouse suspicion."
After saying this, without giving Li Qingyi a chance to respond, Zhou Chuan turned and left.
Seeing him leave, Li Qingyi hurriedly called him back, forcing herself to speak:
"Master, could you... lend me some spirit stones temporarily?"
Zhou Chuan frowned slightly. "What does he need spirit stones for?"
However, to put Li Qingyi at ease, he took out eight spirit stones from his storage ring and placed them on the table in front of Li Qingyi.
"You should calm your mind and cultivate yourself." This time, Zhou Chuan left quickly.
Watching Zhou Chuan leave, Li Qingyi immediately put away the spirit stones, her heart filled with mixed feelings.
Now that we have fifteen spirit stones, we can finally see the power of this cheat system.
"Deep Blue! Simulate it for me!"
In a daze, I felt a jolt in my mind, and light and shadows swirled before my eyes.
At that moment, he saw his own appearance from a strange perspective.
You sit indoors, your thoughts racing, when Zhou Chuan's words offer a glimmer of hope.
After much deliberation, bound by both the long-standing bond between master and disciple and the oath of heaven, you chose to believe him.
You lie in bed, focused and waiting for dawn.
At dawn the following day, Qin Xiyue arrived as scheduled.
She casually tossed the two spells onto the couch, her jade-like fingers lightly hooking the silk sash at her waist, causing her silk robes to fall away.
You know perfectly well that the Qin family will always check your aura before refining pills. Rather than being forced into it, it's better to just let it be...
[Both of you activated the "Two Elements Harmony Ode," which the Qin family's main lineage had forced you to learn.]
This technique can harmonize Yin and Yang, perfectly transferring the innate lunar essence within her body into yours.
The interplay of light and shadow within the room continued until dusk, leaving you feeling a lingering sense of satisfaction.
Qin Xiyue, exhausted, prepared to leave. You called out to her and asked for five spirit stones.
Without hesitation, she gave you five spirit stones. She then asked if you needed any further assistance, which you refused without a second thought.
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiyue turned and left. You straightened your clothes and adjusted your breathing, suddenly feeling your cultivation level surge.
[You are pleasantly surprised to find that you have already perfected the first level of Qi Refining. You also feel a mysterious energy within your body, making you feel incredibly comfortable and your Qi circulation is perfectly smooth.]
You couldn't help but secretly admire its wonder, and immediately devoted yourself to practicing the "Breath Concealment Technique" and the "Disguise Technique."
Not long after Qin Xiyue left, the Qin family's alchemist came to your room to check on your condition.
[Having noticed your aura was well-rounded, I left with satisfaction, and informed you that I would personally fetch you to the alchemy hall early the next morning.]
You were filled with resentment and secretly vowed that one day you would expose this hypocritical Foundation Establishment family.
The moon rises and the sun sets; midnight is approaching. You grow increasingly uneasy in your room, so you decide…
1. Run away immediately.
II. Waiting for Zhou Chuan.
Li Qingyi frowned and pondered as she looked at the two options. At this point, what was the point of running away?
"I've already waited... I choose option two."
[You calm yourself down, and Zhou Chuan appears as promised, grabs your wrist, and without a word, takes you away.]
You were moved to tears, deeply grateful to have met such a good teacher. Upon stepping outside, you saw that the guards who had been hiding in the shadows were all lying on the ground, unable to rise.
Suddenly, a loud explosion was heard from the direction of the Qin family's main hall. Zhou Chuan said, "I've detonated my natal magic weapon to create chaos so that you and your disciple can escape."
You secretly remember these acts of kindness and vow to repay them in the future.
The Qin family's territory is built against the mountain, covering a vast area. Under the cover of night, Zhou Chuan led you through several layers of restrictions, finally reaching the border.
You were overjoyed, eagerly awaiting your escape after crossing these final few hundred feet. Unexpectedly, a figure suddenly blocked your path.
Qin Baisheng, the patriarch of the Qin family, stood with his hands behind his back, gently shaking his head at you. Zhou Chuan's expression changed drastically; he had never expected this Foundation Establishment cultivator to personally intercept him.
The pressure from a Foundation Establishment cultivator is like a mountain pressing down on you; just their presence alone makes your breath catch, cold sweat pour down your back, and fills you with unease and anxiety.
Zhou Chuan's true essence circulated rapidly, and his Foundation Establishment stage aura erupted, resisting Qin Baisheng's oppressive aura, which finally gave you a chance to catch your breath.
Qin Baisheng also appeared surprised, but his expression remained calm and composed. To avoid affecting you, the two immediately took to the air and began their magical duel.
Just as you were about to seize the opportunity to escape, you saw that all the elders of the Qin family had surrounded you. Helpless, you could only silently pray for Zhou Chuan's victory.
[In no time, Zhou Chuan lay bleeding on the ground, falling in front of you. Qin Baisheng stared at Zhou Chuan, his expression complex.]
[Immediately order your arrest; you will learn the truth from their conversation.]
Zhou Chuan's real name is Lin Chuan. He is actually an elder of the Lin family, the Qin family's sworn enemy. More than twenty years ago, he created an opportunity to infiltrate the Qin family under an assumed name.
[Zhou Chuan had already arranged for reinforcements to arrive tonight, but unexpectedly, the Qin family had already pledged allegiance to the Qingchi Immortal Sect. Upon seeing the arrival of the sect's representatives, the Lin family's reinforcements had no choice but to return empty-handed, treating Zhou Chuan as a discarded pawn.]
[You were utterly despondent, never imagining that not only would you be unable to escape, but you would also implicate your master. Just then, Zhou Chuan suddenly attacked, striking you squarely on the top of your head with a palm strike.]
[Before you died, you heard Zhou Chuan roar, "What my Lin family can't have, your Qin family can't have either!"]
[Only then did you realize that Zhou Chuan only wanted to bring you, the "main ingredient," back to the Lin family.]
[Your consciousness slowly faded, leaving only Qin Baisheng's unwilling roar echoing through the sky.]
[You're dead. Rewards are being calculated...]
"Fine, fine, is this how you play it?!" Li Qingyi laughed angrily, unable to help but curse under her breath.
Only then did he realize that Zhou Chuan's oath was clearly a word game with him.
The sound of the rain suddenly intensified, and cold sweat gradually seeped into his back. 'Zhou Chuan is a traitor! The Qin family also has a powerful sect backing them. How could they start this way so cunningly?'
Amidst a whirlwind of thoughts, another screen of light appeared before my eyes.
[Reward 1: Peak Qi Refining Level 1 cultivation, which can be used to directly break through to Qi Refining Level 2 after extraction.]
Reward 2: Reflections on one day of practicing the "Yin Yang Great Joy Ode".
Reward 3: Insights into the "Concealing Breath Technique" and the "Disguise Technique".
Reward Four: Your corpse, after death, will retain all the states it had at the moment of death, making it indistinguishable from your original self.
Li Qingyi quickly adjusted her mindset and looked at reward two with a strange expression:
"This realization is better left unfulfilled!"
Li Qingyi looked longingly at reward two, then tearfully excluded it.
"Reward three won't work either. These two spells are extremely simple; I could learn them in a short time in the simulation, so there's no reason I shouldn't be able to in reality."
His gaze shifted to Reward One and Reward Four.
"During this escape, there is essentially no difference between Qi Refining Level 1 and Qi Refining Level 2 when facing Foundation Establishment cultivators."
With this thought in mind, Li Qingyi's gaze turned to Reward 4—the corpse with half its head broken and a gruesome death.
For some reason, Li Qingyi felt a phantom pain.
Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck him.
"A clever trick? A substitution? What could be more convincing than a real corpse of 'Li Qingyi' that she's dead?"
This is a risky move; a misstep could lead to utter ruin.
But it is also the only move that can break through all the enemy's predictions in a desperate situation.
After a flurry of thoughts, the answer became clear to Li Qingyi: "I choose reward four."
The reward has been sent to the simulator space and the host can retrieve it at any time.
Li Qingyi examined her own corpse and discovered that her body's time had been frozen at the moment of death.
Seeing this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
If the body decomposes, his plan to fake his death and escape will fail.
When Li Qingyi came to her senses, she realized that she had spent a day in the simulated space.
But in the real world, there isn't even a moment's time to drink half a cup of tea.
Li Qingyi closed her eyes and concentrated, beginning to mentally rehearse her escape plan.
