Cultivation Simulator – Chapter 110

Chapter 110: The Unwelcome Son-in-Law

Just by looking at Real Person Lingyu’s expression, Su Xun knew he was right.

He also felt a slight admiration in his heart… This guy’s method was already infinitely close to the real method of spiritual root derivation.

But in the small world, it was the elites of that world who had pondered for many years, plus Lin Hao’s desperate struggle under the crisis of life and death, that they finally found the orthodox method of spiritual root derivation.

Who was Lin Hao?

He was someone who, without any guidance, truly crossed the river by feeling the stones, and now has cultivated his cultivation to the peak of Spirit Manifestation, only one step away from the Nascent Soul.

He was the true pioneer of the Immortal Dao in the small world.

Moreover, he not only took care of himself, but also deduced cultivation techniques for other disciples based on his own cultivation techniques. By himself, he deduced all the subsequent techniques of the 《Nine Revolutions Golden Core Direct Point》 and many other techniques derived from the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Treasure Manual.

Perhaps it was not perfect, but with this comprehension, aptitude, and strength, if he were placed in the outside world, he would at least have the strength of a founder of a sect.

And his elder sister’s father was actually able to personally cultivate a Six Spiritual Roots cultivator, and even wanted to minimize the rejection of spiritual roots through blood relations…

This was not necessarily a bad method, and it was not inferior to Lin Hao’s unparalleled talent.

It’s just that this kind of behavior was really too inhumane.

He didn’t even spare his own biological daughter.

“So after I learned the truth, I escaped while he was cultivating.”

Real Person Lingyu said, “He naturally didn’t want to let me go. How could he easily lose the fruit that he had spent many years to cultivate… His strength was far above mine. Even if I stepped into the Nascent Soul stage, I would still be far from his opponent. Fortunately, what I cultivated was the Seven Kill Sword Manual, which was originally a sharp sword manual with offense but no defense. Plus, I self-destroyed my Sword Pill, which barely allowed me to repel him.”

Yuanshen was shocked when he heard this, “Self-destroyed your Sword Pill? Junior Sister, you…”

Real Person Lingyu nodded and said, “My cultivation has not only not improved over the years, but has continued to regress. This is because my sword heart was covered in dust and my Sword Pill was shattered. But what I am most proud of is that I finally helped my daughter escape the crisis.”

She said, “I knew that my background was known very clearly. If I wanted to bring Siqing back to the Taiyi Sect with my seriously injured body, it would be impossible. And even if I brought her back, if he really had his eyes on Siqing, with his careful planning, he would very likely succeed… Therefore, I could only take that decisive action!”

Speaking of this, a bitter smile appeared on Real Person Lingyu’s face, and she said, “By chance, I once obtained a piece of Ten Thousand Year Cold Jade. For Siqing’s safety, I used the Cold Jade to freeze Siqing, and then also froze the Thousand Year Stalactite in it to maintain her vitality. I placed her in a hidden place, and then returned to the Taiyi Sect alone!”

She explained, “The Cold Jade is icy in nature and contains endless water spiritual energy. Freezing a baby in it can completely stop her growth process… And the Thousand Year Stalactite has a strong vitality, which can maintain her life and keep Siqing from dying.”

“I knew his plan. What he wanted was a congenital Six Spiritual Roots cultivator who was related to him by blood, because only in this way could the rejection be minimized. And I stopped Siqing’s growth process, so that when she should have been three or four years old, she was only one year old. In this way, the age would not match, and the originally balanced spiritual roots would also be broken… This way, I could maximize her safety.”

“After all, although congenital Six Spiritual Roots are rare, how could he have imagined that his daughter, who should have been three years old, was still only one year old?”

Su Xun was already shocked by Real Person Lingyu’s whimsical ideas.

So, does that mean my elder sister is not 22 years old this year? But 25 years old?

It’s just that she was frozen for three years?

These big shots are really amazing, their thought processes are all so… But that’s right, to achieve the Nascent Soul Realm, it’s not just strength that is important.

At the very least, the scheming between Senior Sister Siqing’s parents feels even more convoluted than a novel.

Real Person Lingyu said, “Otherwise, why do you think she could break through the Golden Core Realm so easily at such a young age? It was because her body was already full of spiritual energy at that time. It’s just that even I didn’t expect that there would still be an accident in the middle… Siqing’s innate Six Spiritual Roots’ ability to absorb spiritual energy was too strong. As a result, the spiritual energy of the Ten Thousand Year Cold Jade and the Thousand Year Stalactite was completely absorbed in just over two years, which was originally planned for three years.”

She said bitterly, “And when I arrived, it was already a full year late. Based on the traces inside, I deduced that it should have been after she woke up that she crawled out because she was too hungry… But I don’t know where she went. I searched for a long time, but I couldn’t find her anymore.”

Su Xun asked, “And then?”

“Then, my elder sister was seriously injured. Plus, she was worried that she would be targeted by that person again, so it was inconvenient for her to act outside for a long time. I went out to travel and search for my niece everywhere. Later, after searching for several years, I found you.”

Zhou Tong glanced at Su Xun and said, “At that time, seeing that your parents were taking good care of Siqing, in order to prevent suspicion, I didn’t disturb you. Instead, I secretly manipulated things and controlled your parents to move to the foot of Moon Wheel Mountain, so that my elder sister could see Siqing nearby… Later, it was me who led Siqing up the mountain.”

He said, “What I did was completely in line with the process of a normal immortal sect member discovering an exceptionally talented person. After all, the age didn’t match, and the spiritual roots didn’t match. That person shouldn’t suspect Siqing, and in this way, Siqing could stay by her elder sister’s side openly.”

“Then why did you want to kill Little Xun?!”

Suddenly…

Beside them, a slightly trembling female voice rang out.

Everyone hurriedly shifted their heads to look.

And Yuanshen sighed, “Siqing is also a party involved in this matter, so she should listen… That’s why I didn’t remind you. But it’s true that this girl can hide from both of your senses. A Six Spiritual Roots cultivator is indeed remarkable.”

Sure enough, Su Siqing slowly walked over from a distance.

Her face was pale, and she seemed to have realized something.

She walked in front of Su Xun, instinctively protecting him, looked at Zhou Tong, and asked, “Why are you here?”

Su Xun somewhat understood the meaning of Su Siqing’s current posture.

She asked Real Person Lingyu to protect him, but it turned out to be inviting a wolf into the house. If it weren’t for him having invited Zhenren Yuanshen here in advance, she would have made an unforgivable mistake.

Just thinking about this made her feel terrified.

“Sister, don’t worry, I did it on purpose…”

Su Xun held Su Siqing’s hand and said, “I was worried that if you knew the truth, you would directly question Uncle-Master Lingyu, and I was also worried that I would wrong her, so I had to resort to this strategy…”

“But I don’t understand. It was Daddy who adopted me. It was Little Xun who gave me a home and gave me the opportunity to live.”

Su Siqing said angrily, “If it wasn’t for Little Xun buying me with a steamed bun back then, I would have died long ago. If you are really my biological mother, it’s fine if you don’t thank them, but you still took my parents’ lives, and now you want Little Xun’s life… Why?”

“Because my lifespan is running out, because I can’t stand that my daughter’s life is only worth a steamed bun!”

When Real Person Lingyu saw Su Siqing, before she could speak, her eyes couldn’t help but get wet.

She bit her teeth, forcefully suppressing the surging emotions in her heart, and said, “I am indeed very grateful to them. When Zhou Tong secretly used methods to move you here, seeing that they were taking such good care of you, I was really grateful to them… I even thought that after you went up the mountain and achieved success in your studies, after you and I, mother and daughter, recognized each other, I would recognize your adoptive mother as my younger sister. Even though my lifespan is running out, I would ask Zhou Tong to take care of them for the rest of their lives.”

She sniffed and said, “But until the eve of you going up the mountain, that day I was too excited, I secretly went to see you, but I heard them discussing that they planned to have you and your younger brother get married in a few years… Only then did I know that you were not their daughter at all. You were just a child bride they bought for their son. In the end, they didn’t treat you as a daughter. In the end, you were only worth a steamed bun.”

Real Person Lingyu sneered, “They did take care of you, but the price for that was to completely kidnap your second half of life, making you spend the rest of your life by the side of a mediocre person, by the side of someone you don’t love at all… My daughter is a congenital Six Spiritual Roots cultivator, and her future achievements will be at least at the Spirit Transformation stage. But she would be tied to a mediocre and incompetent waste, bearing him children, taking care of him for the first half of his life, and still have to take care of him for the second half of his life?”

Su Siqing was silent.

Even Su Xun finally understood.

So the reason he was being targeted was not because his cultivation was low and he was holding his elder sister back, but because he and his elder sister had that layer of a betrothed relationship, which made his mother-in-law unhappy.

The mother-in-law looks down on the son-in-law…

Real Person Lingyu asked, word by word, “Siqing, if you were me, would you be able to tolerate it if your most beloved daughter was bought to be a child bride, and had been following a little brat like a tag-along since childhood, and had to spend her whole life with him?”

Su Siqing: “…………………………”

Without waiting for Su Siqing to answer, Real Person Lingyu finally couldn’t suppress her surging emotions any longer.

She covered her face and cried out, “I can’t bear it, I really can’t bear it. Whether my child hates me or loves me, giving birth to her was already me failing her. I didn’t fulfill my responsibility as a mother. I want to make it up to her. I want to give her a free life, even if she hates me for the rest of her life. I even prepared not to recognize her…”

“I don’t have many years left to live. My Sword Pill is shattered. My cultivation has been regressing more and more over the years. Now I’m stuck at the edge of the Nascent Soul stage. Once I fall from the realm, the Nascent Soul will dissipate, and I will have no chance of survival…”

“For my daughter, what else do I have to worry about? I… I… I’m sorry… Siqing… Master… Mother… Mother just wants you to be well… Mother just wants to shatter the shackles on you…”

“Who is that person?”

Yuanshen seemed unable to bear listening to his junior sister’s sobs any longer. He said coldly, “Junior Sister, you should have told your brother his name long ago. Your brother is not talented, and I dare not claim to be invincible in the cultivation world, but my Taiyi Sect is also one of the Thirteen Heavenly Sects. It’s not like we can’t get back this justice!”
