Tianchen pills are not easy to refine, requiring numerous rare and valuable ingredients. Your fifth uncle could at best obtain one in his lifetime, using it for a single breakthrough opportunity. To attempt a second breakthrough, setting aside the risk of cultivation regression, the mere ingredients for a Tianchen pill would be prohibitive.
Therefore, failure in a breakthrough meant losing the chance entirely. Only those with dual or unique spiritual roots could attempt it; ordinary triple spiritual roots had no hope.
However, Wang Yuan, through his simulations, essentially had four breakthrough opportunities every day.
Naturally, this left him with no sense of nervousness.
"So, there's also an Outer Elixir Secret Codex. With this, one can refine Outer Elixirs..."
For this round's three rewards, Wang Yuan felt he wouldn't need any Outer Elixir texts in the future, as he would soon start with Golden Core stage cultivation.
The first reward also seemed unnecessary. The difference in cultivation between late Foundation Establishment and the peak of late Foundation Establishment wasn't significant; it could be achieved in a decade or so of cultivation. Moreover, failing a breakthrough to Golden Core would cause cultivation to regress, making this option of little consequence.
Conversely, the second reward, the pills, was better.
Even though Wang Yuan was a pill refiner himself and could refine pills, bypassing the middlemen and their profit margins, the medicinal ingredients were still incredibly difficult to gather.
In those simulations, Wang Yuan spent nearly two hundred years and only managed to acquire four Five Elements Golden Core Pills and four Tianchen Pills.
Now, option two offered five Five Elements Golden Core Pills, five Tianchen Pills, and an additional fifty Meridian Protecting Pills. Choosing this would undoubtedly save him the trouble of finding ingredients and refining pills, saving a great deal of time for his next simulation.
After a moment of thought, Wang Yuan selected this option.
Subsequently, several bottles of pills, emanating immense spiritual energy, appeared in Wang Yuan's hands.
These were the Five Elements Golden Core Pills, Tianchen Pills, and Meridian Protecting Pills.
Wang Yuan immediately used a spell to conceal the vast spiritual energy emanating from these pills.
He knew that if these pills were exposed, they would instantly shock and covet the Wang family.
To prepare pills for his fifth uncle's Golden Core breakthrough, the Wang family had sold nearly half of their entire family fortune, leading to a shortage of resources for generations to come. This was for just one Five Elements Golden Core Pill and one Tianchen Pill.
If they were to see that Wang Yuan possessed five times that amount, the consequences were unimaginable.
Wang Yuan had no desire to attract attention at this point.
He still wanted to remain here, cultivating until he reached the Longevity realm, or even stronger.
He closed his eyes.
Another day passed.
A new simulation began.
[At sixteen years old, you left the Wang family.]
[At thirty-two years old, you cultivated to the peak of late Foundation Establishment.]
[At thirty-three years old, you used one Tianchen Pill, one Five Elements Golden Core Pill, and six Meridian Protecting Pills, intending to break through to the Golden Core realm. You failed, and your cultivation regressed.]
[At sixty-nine years old, the demon race invaded. You fled to the Central Celestial Continent in advance.]
[At seventy-two years old, you entered the Central Celestial Continent.]
[At seventy-eight years old, you once again used one Tianchen Pill, one Five Elements Golden Core Pill, and six Meridian Protecting Pills to break through to the Golden Core realm. The winds and clouds shifted, celestial dew appeared, and you successfully condensed your core.]
As expected, as long as there was a possibility, with good luck, one could successfully condense their core.
Last simulation, he failed four times, but this time, he succeeded in his breakthrough after only two attempts.
[At eighty-five years old, you joined the Medicine King Sect, one of the Ten Immortal Dao Sects, and became a pill refining elder.]
[……]
[At one hundred and seventy-two years old, you cultivated to the peak of early Golden Core.]
[At one hundred and ninety-three years old, you successfully broke through to the mid Golden Core stage.]
[At three hundred and thirty-eight years old, you successfully broke through to the late Golden Core stage.]
[At three hundred and eighty-one years old, the Dao Integration War broke out. Many Nascent Soul Dao Lords in the Heavenly Azure Realm discovered Dao Integration opportunities and began to fight amongst themselves.]
[At three hundred and eighty-two years old, the Bai Xuan Pavilion, one of the Ten Immortal Dao Sects, was annihilated. Its Nascent Soul Dao Lord foundation perished.]
[At three hundred and eighty-four years old, the Blood Demon Sect, one of the Ten Immortal Dao Sects, was annihilated. Its Nascent Soul Dao Lord foundation perished.]
[At three hundred and eighty-six years old, a Nascent Soul Dao Lord of the Lan family fought against three enemies single-handedly, killing three opposing Nascent Soul Dao Lords. Three more Dao Lords from the Ten Immortal Dao Sects died, including the one from the Medicine King Sect.]
[At three hundred and sixty-seven years old, the Nascent Soul Dao Lord of the Medicine King Sect perished. The entire Medicine King Sect, despite having several late Nascent Soul cultivators, declined. Hostile forces seized the opportunity to attack. When a Nascent Soul Dao Lord from the Lan family descended upon the Medicine King Sect, you, unable to withstand even a glance from the Lan family's Dao Lord, perished.]
[Simulation ended.]
[Please choose three rewards.]
[One: Late Golden Core cultivation.]
[Two: Secrets of Dao Integration.]
[Three: Pill refining skills capable of refining Golden Core stage pills.]
From the previous reward of late Foundation Establishment cultivation to this reward of late Golden Core cultivation, it was a significant leap for Wang Yuan.
However, at this moment, he first focused on the conflict for Dao Integration.
This time, during the demon race invasion, he did not go to the Seven Star Cloud Sea but instead proceeded to the Central Celestial Continent, joining the Medicine King Sect.
But later, in his three hundredth year, a conflict for Dao Integration erupted?
Numerous Nascent Soul Dao Lords, vying for Dao Integration opportunities?
For the sake of Dao Integration opportunities, the ancient Ten Immortal Dao Sects, one by one, had their Nascent Soul Dao Lords assassinated by other Nascent Soul Dao Lords and perished.
And in the end, the Medicine King Sect was destroyed by a Lan family Nascent Soul cultivator.
This news was somewhat shocking to Wang Yuan.
Just as the demon race invaded every time around Wang Yuan's sixtieth year.
Wang Yuan understood that while an individual's fate could be random in each simulation, the fate of a force would always follow a certain pattern.
The demon race invaded every time because it was a major trend.
Unless Wang Yuan possessed Nascent Soul cultivation by his sixties, this major trend was unstoppable and would appear in every simulation.
Even the demon race invasion was like this.
How much more so for a major event like the conflict for Dao Integration?
The former was merely the fall of a few remote provinces.
The latter could sweep across the entire Heavenly Azure Realm.
The current Heavenly Azure Realm had not yet produced a single Dao Integrator.
One could imagine how important the so-called Dao Integration opportunities were to the numerous Nascent Soul Dao Lords.
And the Medicine King Sect was destroyed, Wang Yuan was caught in the conflict for Dao Integration, and he perished in his three hundredth year, not by reaching the end of his lifespan, but by being annihilated by a mere glance from a Nascent Soul Dao Lord.
This was also something Wang Yuan had not anticipated.
Previously, Wang Yuan did not believe he could successfully break through the Golden Core and Nascent Soul realms consecutively in this simulation, but he still expected to live to the end of his five hundred-year lifespan. He never imagined that this simulation would end with his demise in his three hundredth year, and it seemed likely that future simulations would also end with death in war around the same age.
The demon race invasion could be evaded by fleeing to the Seven Star Cloud Sea or the Central Celestial Continent, where they would not be disturbed by the demons.
However, the conflict for Dao Integration swept across the Heavenly Azure Realm. It was likely that anyone within the Heavenly Azure Realm, no matter where they were, would find it difficult to escape this calamity!
With a sigh, Wang Yuan accepted his rewards.
As for the secrets of Dao Integration, he felt they would be of no use to him at his current stage. He would likely encounter such rewards again in the future and could choose them then.
