After getting rid of a small ghost, Zhao Hao felt a slight difference in his heart.
As a “Born Arhat”, he could perceive merit very well. He obtained a little merit for killing the female water ghost. Although it was not many, it was still very rare.
Merit was what all cultivators wanted. Not only could it increase their luck, but it could also help them withstand all kinds of tribulations.
As he walked out of the river, Zhao Hao felt that he should get out more often when he had the time. Since he could encounter water ghosts, he would definitely meet stronger ghosts or demons. Not only could he obtain merits, but he could also expand the Cultivation Talent selection pools. There were just way too many benefits.
After Zhao Hao went home right away, he looked at himself in the mirror, especially his eyes that emitted golden light and the swastika symbol that faintly appeared on his forehead.
“Phew, I suddenly feel Iike I’m much better-looking now…”
After admiring himself for a while, Zhao Hao said to the System, “Start the simulation now.”
[To enable the simulation, you may select only three of the following Cultivation Talents.]
[On the first day, you snuck into the dwelling of Widow Zhang and found an untitled sword-fighting manual. You started practicing it.]
[On the second day, you snuck into the residence of the village head and found a manual on the “Vajra Body Defending Divine Skill”. You began cultivating the divine skill.]
[On the third day, you practiced the sword skills during the day and cultivated the Vajra Body Defending Divine Skill at night.]
…
[On the 22nd day, you killed a team of evil ghosts and destroyed the left arm they had carried. A terrifying roar came from the mountain. You did not choose to return to the village. Instead, you continued to search for other teams of evil ghosts in the mountain.]
[On the 23rd day, you killed two more teams of evil ghosts, respectively destroying one left leg and one right leg they had carried. Rather than continuing your search, you decided to return to the village and wait for the rest of the evil ghosts.]
[On the 24th day, dozens of evil ghosts came to the entrance of the village. The leader was a hanged ghost with a Cultivation Base of five hundred years. They did not seem to dare to enter, but they still surrounded the village. The leading hanged ghost asked the villagers to hand you over. The village head came to your place and fell into deep thought as he looked at the Buddhist symbol on your head. After a long time, he asked you to resolve the trouble you had caused yourself, but you did not take any action right then.]
[On the 25th day, there were more and more evil ghosts gathering outside the village. You charged into the crowd of evil ghosts, killed all the evil ghosts by yourself, and defeated a male corpse with a head, one arm, and no other limbs. You returned to the village with a glorious victory. The villagers celebrated your win. During the celebration, you saw that the village head seemed to have something to say, but he bit his tongue in the end.]
[On the 26th day, you felt that the village head seemed strange, so you came to his residence. The first thing the village head said to you was that you had an extraordinary physique. He also told you not to leave the mountain at will, or else your body would definitely be possessed by a cultivator.]
[On the 27th day, you had nothing to do in the village, so you came to the dwelling of Widow Zhang again to find out more about the cultivators in this world. Widow Zhang took out a notebook from the heated brick bed. It was a Cultivation Encyclopedia.]
[On the 28th day, you learned a lot of the basic knowledge of the cultivation world from the Cultivation Encyclopedia. Then, the village head came to you and told you that there were several Evil God temples in the mountain. The Evil God was called the Oink God. You had only killed the doppelgängers of the Oink God previously. There might be a way to leave the village if you killed the Oink God.]
[On the 29th day, you decided to destroy the Evil God in the mountain. When you left, Widow Zhang stood at the entrance of the village and watched you leave with deep affection.]
[On the 30th day, you searched for the Evil God.]
…
[On the 36th day, you got lost in the mountain again and walked to a thousand miles-long swamp. You were about to turn back, but a poisonous Flood Dragon suddenly sprang out of the swamp. You had no power to fight back, and you died.]
[This Cultivation Simulation is over. You can permanently retain a Cultivation Talent and extract it into the real world.]
[The Cultivation Simulation has ended. Simulation Time: 36 days. System Cooldown Time: 36 minutes.]
“Phew… I managed to survive for quite a long time in this simulation. I just didn’t expect that there was a swamp not far from the mountain with a poisonous Flood Dragon in it…”
Zhao Hao took a deep breath, took out his phone again, opened the notepad, and started taking notes.
“There seems to be no way to hide my ‘Mahayana Holy Body’ and ‘Born Arhat’ talents. It’s easy for cultivators to discover my unique physique, and once they discover it, they’ll definitely possess my body.”
“The village head said that I might be able to find a way out of the village after killing the Evil God. There’s a high chance that it might be some hidden treasure or hidden skill…”
“The poisonous Flood Dragon is very powerful. I’ll be killed instantly if I come into contact with it. It’s best not to provoke it.”
After taking down all the information he had obtained in this simulation, he checked the time. It was already getting late.
Zhao Hao immediately turned on his computer and searched for some famous historical sites.
As Zhao Hao already had a Red Buddhist Cultivation Talent, he did not search for temples. Instead, he spent most of his time searching for ancient heritage sites.
After searching for a while, Zhao Hao wrote down a few locations on the notebook in front of him: Temple of Confucius, Mount Longhu, Wudang Mountains, Temple of Guan Yu (the earliest martial temple), and other famous historical sites with a long ancient heritage.
Then, he planned out the locations he would go to the next day and booked a First-Class plane ticket online. Yes, he was just as extravagant as that.
“System, start the simulation now.”
[To enable the simulation, you may select only three of the following Cultivation Talents.]
…
[On the 28th day, there were more and more evil ghosts gathering outside the village. You charged into the crowd of evil ghosts, killed all the evil ghosts by yourself, and defeated a male corpse with a head, one arm, and no other limbs. You returned to the village with a glorious victory. The villagers celebrated your win. During the celebration, you saw that the village head seemed to have something to say, but he bit his tongue in the end.]
…
[On the 31st day, you destroyed five Oink God temples deep in the mountain. You finally found a huge Evil God statue on the top of the mountain, so you rushed to the top. Right when you were about to smash the Evil God statue, a black shadow flew out of the Evil God statue and turned into a 200 feet tall wild boar. Only then did you realize that the Oink God was actually a Wild Boar Spirit. This Wild Boar Spirit was also the strongest being in this mountain. You had a great battle with the Wild Boar Spirit, but you could not defeat it. It killed you, and you died.]
[This Cultivation Simulation is over. You can permanently retain a Cultivation Talent and extract it into the real world.]
[The Cultivation Simulation has ended. Simulation Time: 31 days. System Cooldown Time: 31 minutes.]
The corner of Zhao Hao’s mouth could not help but slightly twitch as he shut off the light screen in front of him.
He really had not expected that the awe-inspiring Evil God, the Oink God, who ruled over the entire mountain, would turn out to be a Wild Boar Spirit. More surprisingly, he was not a match for the Wild Boar Spirit, even though he had cultivated two Buddhist divine skills to a very profound level.
He hurriedly took out his phone and opened the notepad.
“At the top of the mountain, there’s a huge Evil God statue. It should be the main vessel of the Oink God. The Oink God is a Wild Boar Spirit. It’s very powerful but slightly weaker than the poisonous Flood Dragon in the swamp.”
