"There's something wrong with this golden elixir!"

Han Feng conducted this life simulation mainly to see if there were any problems with the Gu Yuan Dan (a traditional Chinese medicine).

He didn't expect that he would discover the problem with the Golden Elixir in the four sects' competition before he even discovered whether there was a problem with the Solidifying Essence Pill.

The soul of a Core Formation stage elder from the Star Moon Sect resides within this golden core.

Anyone who attempts to break through to the Core Formation stage by absorbing the Golden Core will inevitably be possessed by it.

Han Feng couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine as he thought about it.

His divine sense was comparable to that of a Core Formation stage cultivator.

However, when he was concentrating on his cultivation, he was suddenly possessed by a Core Formation stage soul, which he simply could not withstand.

Fortunately, I discovered it in advance in the life simulation, so the problem won't be too big.

As long as he takes precautions in advance, it will be virtually impossible for this Core Formation stage soul to possess him.

Han Feng decided to conduct another life simulation, and this time he would check if there was any problem with the Qi-stabilizing pill.

[Consuming one hundred low-level spirit stones, a new life simulation begins.]

Seven days later, after consuming the Qi-Boosting Pills given to you by Situ Changkong, your cultivation level increased significantly, and you felt that the time was almost right to break through to the Core Formation stage.

Eight days later, you will begin your cultivation by obtaining the Golden Core through the Four Sects Competition.

The Star Moon Sect elder, who was parasitizing your Golden Core, saw that the time was right and emerged from your Golden Core to possess you.

You were prepared, and the Star Moon Sect elder failed to possess your body.

However, the Star Moon Sect elder launched a counterattack before his death, damaging your soul and preventing you from advancing your cultivation to the Core Formation stage.

Three months later, your spirit finally recovered, and you began refining pills in the alchemy hall to prepare for your next breakthrough to the Core Formation stage.

Five months later, you prepared fifty pills for consumption and began cultivating while taking them.

[A year later, you feel the time is right and proceed with your breakthrough to the Core Formation stage.]

A year and a half later, you failed to break through, which inevitably left you somewhat disheartened.

Two years later, you hear that a large auction is taking place for a Breakthrough Pill, which can increase the chances of breaking through to a higher realm.

To obtain this Breakthrough Pill, you will sell all your possessions and acquire it at a large auction.

When you return from the large auction, you are ambushed by a masked man.

The masked man was Li Changsheng; you were no match for him and were killed.

[The following options can be retained after the simulation.]

[Option 1: Retain all learned knowledge, skills, and combat experience.]

[Option 2: Retain your cultivation level.]

[Option 3: Maintain blood circulation and physical condition.]

Option 4: Keep the items that appear.

"This Qi-stabilizing pill should be fine."

Han Feng was already able to make that judgment.

He had broken through so many levels in the life simulation game; if there were any problems with the Zengyuan Pill, he would have noticed it long ago.

Han Feng felt that Situ Changkong wanted him to break through his cultivation level. The higher his cultivation level, the faster it would recover after he possessed the body.

Furthermore, given Situ Changkong's cultivation level and confidence, he has absolutely no need to resort to such petty tricks.

As the most powerful cultivator in his sect, almost no one could resist him.

Even if Situ Changkong wanted to possess Li Changsheng now, Li Changsheng would have no power to resist, let alone himself.

Han Feng kept option 4, and a red pill appeared in his hand.

This pill is the Breakthrough Pill; just by holding it in your hand, you can smell its strong medicinal fragrance.

Once the Breakthrough Pill is used, the user's chances of breaking through to a higher realm increase by 20%.

It is intended for cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage, and its effect is somewhat weaker than the Golden Core in Han Feng's possession.

Han Feng put away the Breakthrough Pill and did not use it immediately.

The Breakthrough Pill is much less effective than the Golden Pill, and it lacks the insight of a breakthrough, which greatly affects one's state of mind.

Han Feng decided not to use the Breakthrough Pill unless absolutely necessary.

Han Feng conducted another life simulation, keeping option 1.

With his choice of option 1 retained, all the experience of failing to break through to the Core Formation stage flooded into his mind.

Han Feng's thinking became clear from then on: his primary goal was to refine pills.

He had only recently entered the Pseudo-Core stage and had not yet completed his cultivation of the Pseudo-Core stage.

Of course, one can break through without reaching the Perfected stage, but Han Feng knew his aptitude was not good enough, so it was best to cultivate the False Core stage to the Perfected stage.

He opened two Foundation Establishment stage pill formulas, one called the White Jade Pill and the other the Condensation Pill.

He can refine some of each of these two prescriptions and take them alternately to avoid developing drug resistance.

He arrived at the alchemy hall and saw Zhang Wei.

At this moment, Zhang Wei's aura had reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

As soon as Han Feng arrived at the alchemy hall, Zhang Wei greeted him with a smile.

Now that the two are on the same level, not because of Han Feng's politeness, there is much less of a distance between them.

"Senior Brother Zhang, please help me prepare some medicinal herbs."

Han Feng told Zhang Wei the medicinal materials needed for the two prescriptions one by one.

"Junior brother, wait here, I'll be right back." Zhang Wei immediately grabbed the medicinal herbs.

Zhang Bitian was standing right next to the two of them, and couldn't help but sigh at how naive his nephew was.

You've broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, but he's currently the number one in the Four Sects Competition.

Although both are at the Foundation Establishment stage, their status and position are very different.

"I also lamented that my nephew was too naive. I had even considered having someone else become my apprentice." Zhang Bitian shook his head helplessly.

Han Feng didn't care much about these things. Zhang Wei had helped him a lot, and he didn't feel wronged to call him "senior brother".
