Elders hunting
The center of District 9, the Elders' Hall.
This place is more magnificent than the ancestral hall. The towering palace is located in the mountains, the ground is paved with gold and silver, and low-grade spirit stones are used as lamps.
A emerald green python coiled on the beam, nine meters long, with a fierce look, its huge mouth and fangs open, its emerald green eyes like pearls in the night, flashing with amazing light!
A door opened without wind, and one or two figures appeared in front of people.
The low-level monks who were cleaning the place could not look directly at the newcomers. They knelt down hurriedly and called out in unison: "Great Elder, Second Elder!"
The man was wearing a emerald green robe, with white hair and beard. He looked to be in his sixties, but he was in good spirits, with a gleam in his eyes, and he seemed quite unfathomable.
The old man stroked his beard and mused, "Second Brother, you feel it too, right?"
The middle-aged man nodded: "Yes, big brother, Zhao Yongchao's fate is shattered, and he has already passed away."
"The district chief is currently in seclusion, so there's no need to disturb him with this little matter. Let's just deal with it between the two of us."
The Great Elder: "By the way, has anyone been sent to deliver the elixir?"
The Second Elder said, "The elixir has already been sent over, but the District Chief has yet to succeed in refining the elixir. I think he is facing many difficulties and we still need to wait."
The Great Elder snorted softly, "If I weren't nearing the end of my life, I wouldn't do such a wicked thing."
The second elder touched his head and said, "Brother, please don't say that. The district chief is in the same situation as you, and you are helpless."
"Forget it, let's not think about it anymore. Let's just go." The Great Elder said solemnly, "I'd like to see who killed Zhao Yongchao. Logically speaking, that guy was protected by the Green Blood Silver Striped Snake and had the guy with the Tiger Tail Void Pen by his side. How could he be killed so easily?"
Second Elder: "I find this strange, too. Besides, Zhao Yongchao was in the mines, and his cultivation was only lower than ours. How could he have been killed? Did he offend some powerful figure?"
The Great Elder shook his head: "But I haven't heard of anyone coming from the upper district recently."
"Forget it, big brother, let's forget about it! Let's see what kind of hero that guy is! If he's sensible, we'll treat him as a guest elder. If he's not, can't we, two cultivators at the 13th level of Qi training, handle him?"
The second elder was young after all and spoke arrogantly, but the first elder didn't think so. The longer he lived and the more experience he gained, he had a feeling that this person was not easy to deal with.
However, he still said lightly: "No matter how difficult it is to deal with, just kill it."
The low-level cultivators listened to the two elders killing people as if they were their own children, their tone was nonchalant, and they did not take the murder case seriously at all, but they were already accustomed to it.
This world is a world where the strong prey on the weak, just get used to it.
The next second, a green figure appeared at the palace entrance and disappeared into the crowd again.
A row of low-level monks bent over, wiping the bloodstains on the gold and silver ground, while the sound of explosions was heard again from the district chief's palace.
Someone whispered, "It seems the district chief's alchemy furnace exploded again today."
Someone warned: "You are risking your life by talking like that! Wipe the blood off quickly!"
The rows of cultivators in the early stages of Qi training are nothing more than the lowest-level slaves here.

In the woods
Qianluo wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Take a break. We're only ten miles away."
Sun Peilan took the dry food from her hand, took a bite, and breathed a sigh of relief: "I finally escaped. The green mountains and clear waters outside are so vast. I haven't felt this breath of freedom for a long time."
Qianluo smiled and said, "When you find your daughter in the future, you can travel with her."
"Travel? It's a pity that neither my mother nor I are monks, so we can't wander among the mountains and rivers."
Qian Luo: "What's the difficulty? I see that you also have five spiritual roots, so your daughter should also have spiritual roots. As long as she has spiritual roots, using the spiritual power of the mine to cultivate, she can draw energy into her body within a year at the latest!"
Sun Peilan's eyes immediately lit up: "Yes, the mine is very capable. Even someone like Zhao Yongchao can successfully break through the 12th level of Qi training. Why can't my daughter and I?"
She immediately knelt down and said, "Miss Qianluo, if you can really save Rushuang, I am willing to be your slave and serve you for the rest of my life."
Qianluo helped her up and smiled: "What's so good about being a slave? I hope everyone can be free and happy. At least they don't have to worry about dying from oppression tomorrow."
Sun Peilan was grateful for her kindness, and her nose felt sore: "What you said is a bit like my daughter Rushuang. Although she looks cold as ice, she often says these rebellious words."
Qianluo smiled mischievously, her eyes sparkling: "Rebellion? Why do I feel like it's a longing for a beautiful future and a hatred for the current situation?"
Sun Peilan had now let go of the distance and respect she had for her and smiled sincerely, "Yes, you young people are always so full of energy and vitality. After being with you for a long time, I feel younger too."
"How are you old? You look very young." Qianluo chatted and laughed with her. Sun Peilan was gentle and considerate, taking care of her all the way, giving her a feeling of maternal compassion.
Qianluo was an orphan since childhood, her grandmother passed away early. In the past month, she has been alone and has not enjoyed the warmth of family love for a long time.
She recalled the scene where Sun Peilan stabbed Zhao Yongchao to death under the moonlight. She did not feel horrified, but instead marveled at the greatness of a mother.
She would treat anyone who insulted her daughter like an enemy.
Because she has no mother and has never felt the warmth of a mother, sometimes she really envies Sun Rushuang for having such a good mother.
A trace of tears flashed in Qianluo's eyes. The two of them ate the pancakes, talked and laughed all the way, and got along very well, without the stiffness and alienation at the beginning.
"This is the eye patch I made. I see that your right eye is injured." Sun Peilan embarrassedly took out a white eye patch with delicate orchids embroidered on it.
A warm current surged in Qian Luo's heart, a feeling that her efforts were rewarded. She rescued Liu Xiaoqing, burned down the mine, and killed Zhao Yongchao. In fact, she was very tired, and the time was very tight. She almost had no time to stop and relax.
This elegant orchid eye mask brought a warm feeling to her heart.
Maybe giving is really more joyful than receiving.
She smiled sincerely: "Thank you, Aunt Peilan."
"I'll bring it for you..." Sun Peilan also smiled. She was afraid that she would dislike her craftsmanship.
Qianluo lowered her head slightly, and the woman moved closer to her. There was a faint scent at the tip of her nose. Under the sunlight, the two shadows embraced each other, giving Qianluo a rare feeling, as if she also had a mother.
The feeling of having a mother is also this gentle.
Sun Peilan fastened the eye mask, brushed her hair, and took out a small round mirror: "Look, does it look good?
Qianluo touched the eye mask and looked at herself in the mirror. With black hair and a white eye mask, she looked like a cosplay player. The corners of her mouth curled up, and she looked happy for a rare time.
“I think it looks great!”
Sun Peilan also felt like a mother again, and smiled while covering her face: "You little girls love this cool feeling the most."
Qianluo raised her head, a little proud: "That's it!"
The two of them laughed so hard that they fell over, laughing loudly in the forest, and all their unhappiness turned into smoke and disappeared.
But happy times are always short-lived, and two obstacles appeared before us, looking unfriendly.
"Young friend, please stay. I see traces of the blood of the Green Blood Silver Snake on both of you. I wonder if you could tell me..." The elder in the jade robe said with a cold expression, "Did you kill Zhao Yongchao?"
Qian Luo sneered: "So you killed the younger one, and here comes the older one to collect the debt." She protected Sun Peilan and pushed her three meters away, "Aunt Peilan, find a place to hide!"
Sun Peilan nodded: "Okay." She knew that as a mortal, she had no ability to protect herself and could not help Qianluo. The only thing she could do was to protect herself and not cause trouble for Qianluo.
She turned around to look at the three people who were confronting each other, and couldn't help but worry: "Xiao Luo, you have to be well."
Then he disappeared into the woods and disappeared.
Every time she encountered someone around her, Qianluo always felt that she lacked the protection of the formation and the high-level invisibility of the Breath-Concealing Technique. It was time to think carefully about the next step.
[This simulation consumes 10 points, 99 simulation opportunities remaining, and 990 points remaining.]
Start simulation
At the age of 18, you met two elders from District Nine. They were armed with high-level magical weapons and engaged you in a duel.
[Your cultivation level was no match for the two. Even if you summoned the Sun Flame Beast, it was useless. You unfortunately died in the battle.]
[Simulation ends…]
Very good, died quickly.
What if I use the Orchid Light Body Technique to escape now?
[This simulation consumes 10 points, 98 simulation opportunities remaining, and 980 points remaining.]
Start simulation
At the age of 18, you met two elders from District Nine. They were armed with high-level magical weapons and engaged you in a duel.
You knew you were no match for them, so you fled. The two District Nine elders pursued you all the way. You lured them to the mine, hoping to use it to save your life. If they refused, you would set the mine on fire!
The Ninth District Elder reluctantly agreed, but in reality, he had a plan to assassinate you, a sure kill. You were forced to self-destruct the high-level Tiger Tail Void Pen, escaping during the chaos and hiding in the Spirit Mine.
[The Spiritual Mine is rich in spiritual energy, and you have almost become one with it. They dare not detonate the Spiritual Mine themselves, and can only wait and see.]
[You spent countless days and nights in the Spirit Mine, and finally successfully advanced to the 13th level of Qi training. Without the help of the Foundation Establishment Pill, you would not be able to establish your foundation.]
[Without any other choice, you had no choice but to leave the mine, but you didn't expect to be burned by a mysterious lamp as soon as you left the mine, and unfortunately you died.]
[Simulation ends…]
Qianluo saw hope and immediately chose to cultivate, successfully advancing to the 13th level of Qi training, just one step away from becoming a foundation-building cultivator!
[This simulation consumes 10 points, 97 simulation opportunities remaining, and 970 points remaining.]
Start simulation
[At the age of 18, at the 13th level of Qi training, you held a Jade Orchid Sword in one hand and a Tiger Tail Void Pen in the other, summoning a Sun Flame Beast and burning it with strange fire. You fought two District Nine elders on equal terms, but were always defeated.]
You self-destructed the Void Brush magical instrument, trapped two District Nine elders with strange tree branches, and luckily killed the Second Elder. You fled to the mines, hoping to use the spiritual ore to quickly level up, but without the help of the Foundation Establishment Pill, you were unable to break through.
[Until the end of his lifespan, there was no breakthrough.]
[Simulation ends…]
Qian Luo scratched her hair. This was another dead end. All roads lead to the underworld. What should she do?
If I had known earlier, I would have learned more skills of the Void Pen, otherwise it would have been helpful. Now the Void Pen is really useless to her except for self-destruction.
Oh, by the way, if she wants to exchange 100 million points for [Life Memory] and recharge it with spirit ore in the simulation, will that work?
[This simulation consumes 10 points, 96 simulation opportunities remaining, and 960 points remaining.]
Start simulation
[At 18, you suddenly had an idea and used spiritual ore to recharge points. The spiritual ore is worth a million points and cannot meet the redemption conditions.]
[During the battle, you were defeated by the two and unfortunately passed away.]
[Simulation ends…]
"Brother, look at this girl's changing expression. I wonder what tricks she's planning to use against us!"
The second elder has a beard and a strong body. He has a simple mind, but he is proficient in the Vajra Fist. A cultivator of the same level can only withstand a hundred of his punches, not to mention that the two brothers attack at the same time.
The Great Elder holds a high-level magic weapon, the Heavenly Silkworm Rope. This Heavenly Silkworm is raised by humans under harsh conditions and loves to absorb spiritual power. The Heavenly Silkworm spins silk that is strong and thick. As long as you get a little close to it, your spiritual power will be sucked away.
That's why the Heavenly Silkworm is sold at an extremely high price, and only those who follow the head of the Foundation Establishment District can have such a high-level magical weapon. If there are no good things hanging around, why would everyone want to curry favor with the powerful?
The two brothers attacked together, one absorbing spiritual power and the other attacking with fists, and they never lost.
"Hahaha! We two brothers can fight against a Foundation Establishment cultivator! You might as well surrender!"
How could Qianluo, who had already completed the simulation, not know the moves of these two people? She quickly restrained her thoughts and summoned the Sun Flame Beast and the Jade Orchid Sword.
How careless! Even with the crisis ahead, he still had the mind to simulate!
If it seems that it doesn’t work, then just do it!
"Zhao Zhao! Go!"
The Sunflame Beast had not rested for long when it was summoned out again by her. It was a little annoyed, but when it saw the Elder of District Nine in front of it, it immediately attacked!
Stinky master, you are in danger!
"puff--"
He galloped with all four hooves, his body ablaze with flames, and he breathed out a large mouthful of flames, the blazing flames burning his heart. The Great Elder holding the Heavenly Silkworm Rope was caught off guard and laughed instead of getting angry: "Hahaha, I didn't expect there would be a Sun Flame Beast in this place. I can bring it back to the District Chief for use!"
"But this flame isn't good enough. My Heavenly Silkworm Rope has been tempered by the District Chief's blood and flames. It's not something a little Sun Flame Beast can contend with!"
Sure enough, the flames spewed out by the Sun Flame Beast did not turn the Heavenly Silkworm Rope into ashes. Instead, they burned brighter and brighter, and the Heavenly Silkworm Rope could also absorb the spiritual energy in the flames!
Qianluo's Nether Purple Flame couldn't handle the Great Elder either, also because of the Blood Flame, which was of a higher rank than her Nether Purple Flame. In the ranking of the ten strange fires, Nether Purple Flame ranked 8th, and Blood Flame ranked 7th. All of this was said by the Great Elder during the simulation.
So, this is tricky!
The strange fire had no effect on the Great Elder, and in the simulation it could only kill the Second Elder!
The Great Elder's Heavenly Silkworm Rope attacked Qianluo mainly, and the Fiery Sun Flame Beast spit at the Second Elder. Anyway, he had no protective magical weapon, only a strong body, so let's see if he could withstand the scorching flames!
The second elder covered his head and fled: "Big brother!"
The Great Elder had no time to be distracted and just needed to speed up the process of dealing with the female monk!
The Tiancan Rope was silver-white all over and as difficult to deal with as a small snake. It relied on her wrist and absorbed her spiritual energy, making it difficult for her to hold the Jade Jade Orchid Sword steadily.
Once touched, it would absorb spiritual energy. She couldn't use any sword moves and could only keep crushing low-grade spirit stones and taking spiritual pills to replenish her spiritual energy.
There are limited low-grade spirit stones, and no one knows who made the spirit-replenishing elixir. The elixir is very poisonous. What if someone dies from it like Zhao Yongchao?
Seeing this, the Second Elder covered his short, burnt hair and laughed heartily: "Haha, you little girl, there's no way you can escape, right? After I finish you off, I'll kill the mortals behind you, and then throw all the people you brought from the mines back into the mines. Now that everyone knows the cruel truth, let's turn District Nine into purgatory! All mortals will be forced to serve in the mines!"
The Great Elder retracted the Heavenly Silkworm Rope, his lips curled up in disdain: "An ant trying to shake a tree is ridiculous and overestimating its own capabilities."
The second elder immediately stepped forward and threw out the Vajra Fist with great momentum and force. With each punch, a phantom appeared. How could a cultivator with weak spiritual energy resist it?
This was the first time she was so embarrassed in reality. Could it be that the simulator couldn't help her?
She took back the Sunfire Beast that could not spit out flames, rubbed its fur, and took back the spirit beast storage bag with heartache.
He opened his big black eyes. There was no flame on his body, only his fur that had lost its luster. He looked exhausted, and worry was revealed on his furry face: "Smelly master, you have to... take care of yourself..."
"No...dead."
His head tilted, his eyes closed, and he fell into a deep sleep, no longer able to spit out flames.
Qianluo clenched her fists, her heart filled with rage!
While taking a few steps back, he was ready to explode the Void Pen, throw out the strange branch, and escape in the chaos. After all, he was in the mine and they couldn't do anything to him!
She retreated while simulating, looking for a chance to survive again!
