My Life Can Be Simulated Infinitely – Chapter 42

Ch 42: Fourth-Rank

“Young Master, Miss Su has arrived, and she has also brought a senior with her.”

It was Zhang Xiaohai knocking on the door outside, he said from outside.

Gu Yang responded, “I’m coming.”

Su Qingzhi bringing someone over must be someone from the Qingxuan Sect. He still needs to settle down here for the time being, so it’s natural to build a good relationship with them, which will make things easier.

He had already learned quite a bit about the Qingxuan Sect from Ling Ling.

Decades ago, a Daoist nun came to Ping Prefecture City and established the Qingxuan Residence. This Daoist nun was a Third-Rank expert and was said to be from the Daoist School.

The original intention of establishing the Qingxuan Residence was to take in those orphaned and helpless women. Any woman who came to the Qingxuan Residence could receive protection. Later, the Daoist nun also taught these women martial arts.

As the number of people increased, a sect naturally formed, becoming the Qingxuan Sect, a sect purely composed of women.

After the Daoist nun passed away, the Qingxuan Sect no longer had any decent experts. The succeeding sect leader only had Fifth-Rank strength.

The original intention of the sect also changed. In order to maintain the sect’s expenses, they took in many wealthy women as disciples.

However, even with the tiger dead, its prestige remained. The Qingxuan Sect was also considered a branch of the Daoist School, and since it posed no threat to the other forces in Ping Prefecture City, naturally no one bothered them.

Gu Yang put away the incomplete saber manual, got dressed, and took Ling Ling with him to meet Su Qingzhi and the people from the Qingxuan Sect.

“This poor Daoist is Jingyu, and I am the Sect Leader of the Qingxuan Sect. Greetings, Young Master Gu.”

The person who came was a middle-aged Daoist nun who looked kind and gentle, with no hint of a martial artist’s sharpness. She bowed deeply, “Along the way, it was thanks to Young Master’s protection that Qingzhi was able to arrive safely in Ping Prefecture City.”

Gu Yang did not expect her to be so humble. Even with his thick skin, he felt a little embarrassed and said modestly, “It was just a small favor, Sect Leader, there’s no need to be so polite.”

He did, after all, receive money for it.

In fact, Daoist Nun Jingyu had heard from Su Qingzhi that he was a Third-Rank expert, which was why she had such an attitude.

Daoist Nun Jingyu continued, “Regarding Qingzhi’s matter in the Qingxuan Sect, I hope that Young Master Gu will keep it a secret. She will use the alias Qingqing in the sect from now on. Only this poor Daoist knows her true identity.”

“That’s natural,” Gu Yang said, “However, I need to meet her every two days, um, to help her with her illness. I wonder if that would be convenient?”

Su Qingzhi, who was standing beside them, had been keeping her head down and remained silent. Upon hearing this, her face turned slightly red, as if she was a little embarrassed.

Daoist Nun Jingyu nodded solemnly and said, “Qingzhi has already told me about this. However, it is inconvenient for her to go out. I will have to trouble Young Master Gu to make the effort to come to the Qingxuan Sect to treat her.”

“Alright.”

◈◈◈

After Daoist Nun Jingyu and Su Qingzhi finished discussing their business, they left.

Gu Yang did not mention the matter of making money. There was no rush. It would be more appropriate to bring up the matter of cooperation and making money after meeting a few more times and becoming more familiar with each other.

He didn’t even eat breakfast. He returned to his room, and while he was in good condition, he planned to use the remaining two simulation attempts in one go, to see if he could break through to the Fourth-Rank.

【At the age of twenty-two, you take Ling Ling to Yuzhou City. On the way, you save Jiao Shumo and obtain a treasure map. However, you are seen by Cao Yiyi, and a conflict arises.】

【After returning to Ping Prefecture City, you focus on cultivation.】

【Three years later, one night, while you are cultivating, you sense an approaching danger. Your heart stirs, and you naturally break through to the Fourth-Rank. A moment later, a mysterious expert appears.】

【You and Ling Ling join forces to fight the enemy, but you are still no match. At a critical moment, Ling Ling uses a forbidden technique to kill the expert, but she is also severely injured. She dies before she can say a word.】

【You suppress your grief and rush to the Qingxuan Sect, only to see Su Qingzhi stabbing a knife into her own chest. In your rage, you kill all of the assassins.】

【After burying them, you head to the Divine Capital and join the Tianxin Martial Arts School. You hone your saber skills day and night, vowing to avenge them.】

【A month later, Guo Taiping comes to challenge you. Cheng Tianxin is defeated and dies of serious injuries that night.】

【That night, a mysterious person breaks in, attempting to kidnap Cheng Qingyu. You happen to see it and save Cheng Qingyu.】

【Cheng Qingyu inherits the position of school master. For two years, the Tianxin Martial Arts School barely manages to survive. One day, the Empress Dowager issues an imperial decree, betrothing Cheng Qingyu to the Crown Prince. She does not dare to defy the decree and passes the position of school master to her second senior brother.】

◈◈◈

【Afterwards, you travel around. Wherever you go, many prominent families treat you like an honored guest. You are alone and do not get involved in any trouble.】

【Five years later, you encounter Cao Yiyi. She recognizes you and orders her attendants to attack. You defeat them in three strikes and leave.】

【Half a year later, Cao Yiyi finds you again. This time, she brings a Third-Rank expert. You are no match for them. You are forced to use all your power, and you are killed on the spot. You die at the age of thirty-three.】

Finally, Fourth-Rank!

Gu Yang was so excited.

It was too difficult.

It took a full fourteen simulations, and it could be said that he had gone through all kinds of hardships to finally break through.

Moreover, this time, he didn’t break through just before dying. He even lived for another seven or eight years afterward.

【Simulation ended. You can retain one of the following.】

【One, your martial arts realm at the age of thirty-three.】

【Two, your martial arts experience at the age of thirty-three.】

【Three, your life wisdom at the age of thirty-three.】

Is there even a need to say it? Choose one directly.

An extremely scorching aura erupted from his body, like a ball of fire. His True Qi was rising rapidly, and his originally pure True Qi became extremely violent.

Gu Yang felt like his meridians were about to burst. Under the intense pain, a violent emotion inexplicably rose in his heart, wanting to destroy everything around him.

◈◈◈

“This is—”

Outside the room, Ling Ling was eating. She suddenly sensed a violent aura, her expression changed, and she stood up abruptly. With a “whoosh,” she disappeared from the spot.

Zhang Xiaohai, who was on the side, was stunned by this scene. Before this, he did not know that Ling Ling knew martial arts.

Ling Ling crashed through the door, looking at Gu Yang sitting on the bed. Feeling the astonishing heat coming from his body, she couldn’t help but gasp.

He had actually broken through to the Fourth-Rank!

How is that possible?

She felt like her brain was a little overloaded.

According to her original assessment, with his aptitude, it would take at least ten years for him to break through to the Fourth-Rank.

The night before last, Gu Yang’s strength had suddenly skyrocketed, which was already enough to shock her. Now, he had even broken through to the Fourth-Rank in one go.

How did he do it?

“Not good!”

Ling Ling quickly realized that something was wrong. Gu Yang’s cultivation had improved too quickly, and his True Qi had turned into violent Red Yang True Qi. Now, there were even signs of him losing control.

《The Red Yang Skill》 is a heretical cultivation technique. After reaching the Fourth-Rank, there is a risk of Qi Deviation. Once he loses control, he will be burned to death by that violent True Qi.

She turned around and left without hesitation.

At this time, there was only one person who could save him.

Su Qingzhi!
