The simulator was unique and belonged only to him.
As for the possibility of using the simulator within the simulator, such a nested situation was clearly impossible.
Wang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. It was precisely because of this.
He could confirm that the "him" within the simulator had lost the memory of using the simulator and did not possess the simulator itself. It was equivalent to a version of himself without any cheat abilities traveling over and doing everything.
This also prevented Wang Yuan's thoughts from becoming muddled.
"This time, I'll choose the cultivation of Qi Refining Level Seven."
Wang Yuan made his decision without much effort.
Among the three options:
Qi Refining Level Seven cultivation, ten Foundation Establishment Pills, and the alchemy skills of an Alchemy Master.
The Alchemy Master's alchemy skills could further enhance his own alchemy techniques.
Wang Yuan currently only possessed the alchemy skills of an old alchemist with decades of experience. Although his techniques were proficient, he could only refine pills for the Qi Refining stage. The title of Alchemy Master, though only self-proclaimed in a small part of Kangzhou, allowed one to refine pills like Foundation Establishment Pills, indicating the capability to refine pills for cultivators of the Foundation Establishment stage.
This improvement was undoubtedly immense.
As for the ten Foundation Establishment Pills, their theoretical value was immense, possibly even comparable to half of the Wang family's assets. These were pills that, if used effectively, could theoretically lead to the birth of ten Foundation Establishment cultivators, making their value absolutely extraordinary.
Each of the three options was excellent, but Wang Yuan chose casually. After all, he could simulate again the next day, so Wang Yuan wasn't impatient enough to wait even a single day.
If he only had a simulation opportunity once every few months or even years, then he would naturally have to consider it carefully.
But with a simulation opportunity every day, there was clearly no need to dwell too much on the gains and losses of each option...
There was no need for that, was there?
After Wang Yuan chose the cultivation of Qi Refining Level Seven,
A surge of warmth flowed through him, and his spiritual power continuously increased, quickly advancing him to Qi Refining Level Seven.
At Qi Refining Level Seven, he could already be considered to be in the higher stages of Qi Refining among cultivators.
With a five-element spiritual root, as evidenced by Wang Yuan's previous four simulations, even cultivating for a hundred years, or a lifetime, a person with a five-element spiritual root might not necessarily reach Qi Refining Level Seven.
Yet, Wang Yuan had achieved this cultivation in just five simulations, taking five days.
This further solidified Wang Yuan's resolve to stay home.
He didn't even go out to eat anymore, fearing any potential trouble.
A Qi Refining Level Seven cultivator, by absorbing spiritual energy from heaven and earth, could survive for sixty to seventy days without issue.
Wang Yuan estimated that after a few more simulations, he should be able to reach the Foundation Establishment stage. At that point, he would truly become a life form sustained solely by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, no longer needing to worry about such matters.
Another day passed.
Wang Yuan once again initiated a simulation.
[At sixteen years old, you possess Qi Refining Level Seven cultivation. Fearing that your cultivation might be exposed and investigated by your family, you find an excuse and hastily leave the Wang family.]
Wang Yuan was taken aback when he saw this description. How had the future path changed?
Not developing within the Wang family?
He then realized that assuming a version of himself without cheat abilities suddenly gained Qi Refining Level Seven cultivation, such a cultivation level that a person with a five-element spiritual root might never achieve in their lifetime, and a sixteen-year-old boy possessing such strength, would naturally lead to suspicion and investigation from the Wang family.
They would inevitably suspect that he possessed some treasure, an exotic item, or something similar.
The Qi Refining Level Four cultivation from the simulation two times ago was somewhat understandable, but Qi Refining Level Seven was absolutely not. No excuse would suffice.
The Wang family were not fools. A former weakling suddenly possessing such cultivation was completely illogical.
The outcome would not be good if he fell into the hands of his own family.
In this case, Wang Yuan truly had no other path but to flee.
Before the Wang family could react, he would leave the Wang family first, then go to an unfamiliar place where no one knew him, and start a new life.
[At seventeen years old, you have distanced yourself from the Wang family and moved to Mingzhou, the province adjacent to Kangzhou. With your alchemy skills honed over seventy years, you become renowned locally and establish yourself as a rogue cultivator with alchemy expertise.]
In this simulation, by leaving the Wang family, Wang Yuan became a rogue cultivator.
The initial condition of alchemy skills bestowed in the simulation two times ago, although not as good as the Alchemy Master level, was sufficient for Wang Yuan to have a source of income even after leaving his family.
And his Qi Refining Level Seven cultivation could provide him with martial power to protect himself in the outside world.
[At twenty years old, with your alchemy skills and Qi Refining Level Seven cultivation, the surrounding cultivators never believed your aptitude to be a five-element spiritual root. They all considered you a genius with at least a dual-element spiritual root.]
[By distancing yourself from the Wang family, you also avoided the exposure of your identity and the fact that a mere five-element spiritual root could achieve such cultivation at such a young age, thus preventing others from coveting you.]
[At twenty-three years old, thanks to the accumulation of rewards from several simulations, and starting with Qi Refining Level Seven, you quickly broke through to Qi Refining Level Eight.]
Wang Yuan was not surprised by this outcome.
There was a difference between Qi Refining Level Seven and Qi Refining Level Seven. In the previous simulation, he had advanced to Qi Refining Level Seven at the age of forty-two, and then cultivated at this stage for over twenty years before finally dying.
The spiritual power accumulated over those twenty-plus years was all inherited. If Qi Refining Level Seven were divided into ten segments, he would have at least the cultivation of Qi Refining Level Seven, eight segments, equivalent to eighty percent progress.
With only twenty percent progress remaining, breaking through to Qi Refining Level Eight in just seven years was considered normal.
"A five-element spiritual root is truly too difficult. If it weren't for the simulator, who could even reach the threshold of Foundation Establishment? They might not even reach the threshold of Qi Refining Level Seven."
Wang Yuan shook his head and sighed.
"I wonder when I'll see a method to improve spiritual roots in the simulations."
[At twenty-five years old, as a renowned young genius, you are recruited by the Golden Core sect, Taihang Sect. Unable to expose your spiritual root, you choose to refuse.]
[At thirty years old, you specifically research a pill that, when ingested, can disguise the appearance of your spiritual root. From then on, you no longer fear anyone discovering that you are merely a five-element spiritual root.]
[At thirty-five years old, you travel to various towns in Mingzhou, secretly inquiring about methods to change spiritual roots. You only hear rumors that Fengshen Sect supposedly possesses the Fire Li Pill, which can enhance spiritual roots. Upon investigation, you learn that the Fire Li Pill can only be used to remove fire spiritual roots from within the body.]
[Furthermore, the Fire Li Pill can only be effective when one possesses a five-element spiritual root. The fewer spiritual roots one has, the stronger the power of the spiritual root. A three-element spiritual root cultivator attempting to remove their fire spiritual root is beyond the capability of the Fire Li Pill.]
