Seeing off Wang Ying.
Chen Mo's face suddenly turned gloomy.
This old bastard is giving me a hard time!
Giving me a hard time is fine.
Chen Mo recalled what Wang Ying had just said.
"Little Chen, the Empress is very pleased with the birthday cake you made. If there are any rewards later, don't forget about me."
Damn it, isn't this outright extortion?
Chen Mo brewed himself a pot of tea and then started waiting for the cooldown to end.
In his mind, he wondered if he should die quicker in the simulation.
That way, he could refresh the simulation more times and have more talents to choose from.
After all, surviving one extra day in the simulation adds ten more minutes to the cooldown.
While mulling over this, the cooldown ended.
[Would you like to start the Immortal Cultivation Simulator?]
"Yes."
[Current available talents: Innate Purity Immortal Body, Stepping Like Flying, Luck Aura...]
[Please choose up to three talents from the above to start the Immortal Cultivation Simulator.]
In addition to the fixed Fighting Saint Body, Chen Mo chose the following three Immortal Cultivation Talents.
[Innate Purity Immortal Body (Gold): A supreme physique for immortal cultivation, with super accelerated cultivation speed, almost no obstacles during cultivation, can conceal one's aura, effectively masking the realm, and grants a certain affinity with others.]
[Stepping Like Flying (Purple): Speeds up movement, an essential choice for escape.]
[Luck Aura (Orange): Will always have fortune after surviving great dangers. You will definitely find treasures when falling off a cliff. Any poisoning will be spring poison, and there will always be a beauty nearby. However, it has a major flaw, as it can increase others' jealousy of you, leading to scheming harm.]
[Day One: A great turmoil arises, and rebellions break out across the Great Song Dynasty, with cries that the old heavenly order is dead and a new order must arise. You leave the Imperial Palace and regain your original identity.]
[Day Two: You leave Bianliang, join a group of refugees, and during the journey, comprehend the Feather Nirvana Heart Scripture, becoming a Ninth Grade Martial Artist.]
[Day Three: You gradually distance yourself from Bianliang.]
[Day Four: With a kind heart, you save a girl, who offers to take you to her uncle for refuge as a way of repaying you, but you refuse, and the two of you part ways.]
[Day Five: You encounter the Rebel Army and reveal the crimes of the Imperial Court, willingly joining the Rebel Army. You display your Ninth Grade Martial Artist skills and are valued by them. That night, you advance to Eighth Grade Martial Artist.]
[Day Six: The leader finds you and asks you to go as a vanguard to attack a small county town, and you agree.]
[Day Seven: You successfully capture the small county town and are once again valued, becoming a Centurion in the Rebel Army.]
[Day Eight: You loot a wealthy family, and from their Treasure Vault, you obtain a rare treasure. That night, with the aid of this treasure, you are just one step away from becoming a Seventh Grade Martial Artist.]
[Day Nine: Nanyang requests aid, and you swiftly march towards Nanyang.]
[Day Ten: On the way.]
[Day Eleven: On the way, and during the journey, you break through to the Seventh Grade Martial Artist.]
[Day Twelve: Upon arriving near Nanyang County, you find that Nanyang has already been conquered by the Imperial Court, and your forces have fallen into a trap set by Huangfu Hao long ago. Knowing this in advance, you avoid the trap and lead a squad of rebels out.]
[Day Thirteen: You are taken in by another rebel group—the Yellow Turban Army. You display your Seventh Grade Martial Artist skills and are appointed a Fifth Grade Yanglie General by the leader of the Yellow Turban Army.]
[Day Fourteen: You learn a big secret—the rebel leader who captured Nanyang County is the son of the Yellow Turban Army's leader.]
[Day Fifteen: Huangfu Hao is assassinated.]
...
[Day Eighteen: Nanyang County is captured by your forces, and you get lucky, obtaining a Treasure Sword that cuts through iron like mud, and find the most beautiful woman of Nanyang County, Luo Zhen, in a small mountain village. That night, you take possession of this top beauty of Nanyang County. What you don't know is that your Deputy General also has eyes for Luo Zhen, and, out of jealousy, reports this to your superiors.]
[Day Nineteen: The superiors demand that you hand over the Treasure Sword and Luo Zhen, promising great wealth if you comply. Angrily, you refuse. In the end, you compromise and hand over the Treasure Sword, keeping Luo Zhen.]
[Day Twenty: Vengeful, upon learning who the informer was, you secretly kill the Deputy General and deal with his entire family.]
[Day Twenty-One: You receive news that the Imperial Court plans to send large forces to suppress the rebellion. The main forces plan to withdraw from Nanyang and shift to Western Shu. Because you have offended the superiors, you are ordered to stay behind in Nanyang.]
But you're not foolish. After the Yellow Turban main forces leave, you ransack the city for a large amount of supplies and secretly lead your troops out of Nanyang.]
[Day Twenty-Two: You take control of a mountain near Nanyang County and proclaim yourself a king.]
[Day Twenty-Three: You find a Vermilion Fruit on Great Yellow Mountain, refining it to become a Sixth Grade Martial Artist.]
[Day Twenty-Four: Nanyang sends troops to suppress you on Great Yellow Mountain.]
[Day Twenty-Five: Isolated and without support, you died.]
[This Immortal Cultivation Simulation is over. You can permanently retain one Immortal Cultivation Talent to consolidate into the real world.]
[This Immortal Cultivation Simulation is over. This simulation lasted twenty-five days. Cooldown time, 250 minutes.]
No need to think.
Chen Mo directly locked in the Innate Purity Immortal Body and replaced the Stone Body.
Then he noted down some information from the simulation.
When writing down Luo Zhen's name, Chen Mo's expression turned a bit odd.
Immediately, he drew a big red checkmark next to Luo Zhen's name.
"The most beautiful woman in Nanyang County..."
Heh, definitely need to meet her if there's a chance.
And the Great Yellow Mountain Vermilion Fruit.
Chen Mo urgently needed a map of the Great Song Dynasty.
...
Now with the Innate Purity Immortal Body.
Chen Mo could start cultivating.
Just as Chen Mo was about to comprehend the Feather Nirvana Heart Scripture, Little Mirror came.
"Brother Hong, are you there?" A knock on the door.
"What's up, Little Mirror?" Chen Mo opened the door.
"Wang Gonggong asked me to tell you that the Empress wants to see you." Little Mirror's face immediately broke into a smile, "Congratulations Brother Hong, you've been favored by the Empress. She's going to grant you a Cultivation Technique. From now on, Brother Hong, you'll be a red figure in front of the Empress."
"Wait, wait, Little Mirror, what did you say? The Empress wants to grant me a Cultivation Technique?" Chen Mo's eyes widened in surprise at Little Mirror.
Little Mirror nodded, "That's what Wang Gonggong told me."
Chen Mo's expression, however, turned somewhat heavy.
"What's wrong? Brother Hong, aren't you happy?" Little Mirror was puzzled. If the Empress were to grant him a Cultivation Technique, he would want the whole Imperial Palace eunuchs to know, and he'd be so excited that he couldn't sleep at night.
"How could I not be? I'm thrilled." Chen Mo squeezed out a few smiles.
Is he happy?
Happy, my foot.
He doesn't think the Empress granting him a Cultivation Technique is a good thing.
