Monthly Ticket Extra Unlock Compensation 4: I Drew the Great in the Demon Sect Simulation

Monthly Ticket Extra Unlock Compensation 4: I Drew the Great Sun Sword Master in the Demon Sect Simulation

Li Jingyuan stared at the system panel, not daring to blink his eyes even once.

There was no other way left.

This was his last chance; if he failed, he would die, and this simulation was as important as his life.

【"Junior Brother Li, please follow me," Gu Shixiong Liu Bang said with a kind smile.】

【The Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal Maiden followed dumbly and woodenly behind Liu Bang, who spoke gently and patiently explained everything about Painting Skin Peak to the Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal Maiden, and led him to receive a magic robe, a low-grade skin drum magic artifact named the Blood-Chaos Drum, which could disturb the blood inside cultivators' bodies.】

【The Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal Maiden saw that the magic robe seemed to have a tear, somewhat old, likely having been recycled and used multiple times.】

【Like the ear tag of a fattened pig in a pig farm, with a number still marked on it.】

【Indeed, this magic robe had a number on the collar, reading Bing 2971.】

"Do you have this thing?"

"Why didn't I see this in past simulations?"

Seeing this, Li Jingyuan felt a sudden jolt in his heart.

In the simulation, he was too afraid, his mindset always hard to control.

He had thought these new disciples used something like blood contracts or soul lamps, after all, it was cultivation, but he didn't expect just a magic robe with numbers written on it, although that robe seemed impossible to take off once worn.

"Host,"

"Animal husbandry requires cost control."

The system explained: "Especially large-scale animal husbandry, saving one spirit stone per person adds up to astronomical numbers; saving a few years might even be enough for a Foundation Establishment Pill—anything that can be saved must be saved, high-end items like blood contracts and soul lamps cannot be used on disciples with only months of life."

"Profit, everything is for profit."

【"Junior Brother Jingyuan, this is the Peeling Peak inherited technique《Return One Shadow Method》."】

【Liu Bang said with a smile: "Junior Brother, do not look down on this method; many classic divine arts of my Peeling Peak, even the supreme art《Division of Ten Million Blood Shadows Sutra》, can find their shadow in this method—it is the foundation of foundations, and if you master《Return One Shadow Method》, switching to other arts later will be convenient."】

【"This is a major matter concerning Junior Brother's path; Junior Brother must not be lax."】

【Gu Shixiong Liu Bang patiently explained.】

【"Understood, thank you, Gu Shixiong." The Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal Maiden nodded heavily.】

【"Hahaha!"】

【"We are fellow townspeople, naturally we should help each other; why must Junior Brother Jingyuan express thanks?" Liu Bang smiled: "Junior Brother Jingyuan, newly arrived, must be somewhat short on funds; this way, I lend you twenty spirit stones, no rush to repay, Junior Brother need not feel embarrassed; if you become prosperous in the future, just look after me a little."】

【"How... how can I feel worthy?" The Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal Maiden said, moved.】

【But in his heart, a strong alarm arose, feeling intense unease about this warmth in the Demon Sect, though his smile grew ever more sincere.】

【Gu Shixiong Liu Bang glanced carefully at the Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal Maiden, then let out a faint sigh.】

【"These years, the disciples have become increasingly cunning."】

【"I've heard that cultivation done from the heart counts as top-tier, even supreme; soul arts ultimately cannot fully replace it, I don't know how those people manage..."】

【"Fellow townspeople, it should be natural to feel worthy." Liu Bang said indifferently.】

【His gaze was deep and distant, as if containing an abyss; he actively used his divine sense and soul power to probe into the sea of consciousness of a first-layer Qi Refining cultivator, subtly twisting some of their cognitions.】

【This is a low-grade soul art Liu Bang Gu Shixiong painstakingly learned—Bewildering Soul Technique—useful without fail on early-stage Qi Refining disciples, especially those just promoted who haven't learned any arts; for such first-layer Qi Refining disciples, it is even more so, and he has never made a mistake.】

【This time, likewise.】

【The Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal Maiden's eyes showed confusion; the next moment, all doubts vanished, turning into deep gratitude, he put away the spirit stones and solemnly said: "Liu Brother, if I ever become rich and noble, I will surely not dare to forget you!"】

【"Junior Brother Jingyuan, do not feel pressured; just cultivate as usual." Liu Bang Gu Shixiong's eyes flashed a hint of mockery, speaking gently.】

【In the sea of consciousness he could not see, and even in the sea of consciousness of Heaven-Man-Unity cultivators or stronger, which they cannot see, cascades of Immortal Path data information flashed like waterfalls in the Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal Maiden's deep sea of consciousness.】

【Item: Data Test of Liu Bang, Disciple of the Seven Emotions Holy Sect.】

【Experimental subject's soul structure……Experimental subject's sea of consciousness memory……Experimental subject's use of soul art structure……Experimental subject possesses soul lamp mark……Experimental subject's karmic entanglement……Experimental subject's cultivation method……】

A vast expanse of terrifying data appeared on the panel, a kind of text never seen before, refreshing a large area instantly; every strand of Liu Bang Gu Shixiong's hair had detailed data, meticulous and rigorous to the extreme.

"I don't understand..."

Li Jingyuan looked for a while, his body swaying, head dizzy and swollen, as if he had attended three days and three nights of advanced math classes nonstop.

But he seemed to know that this dog thing Liu Bang Gu Shixiong seemed to have been investigated thoroughly?

No wonder he's a big shot of the Immortal Path!

Li Jingyuan's heart stirred, his inner anxiety lessened somewhat.

"Host,"

"Never use this soul art on beings of uncertain strength in the future, probing your divine sense into others' seas of consciousness—too dangerous, others' seas of consciousness have home-field advantage too great."

"Even if just an ordinary person, in his sea of consciousness and dreams, he will have a huge advantage."

The system reminded.

"I know."

Li Jingyuan noted it down.

He knew he was ordinary, just a loafing otaku who could only rely on cheating, and he remembered this clearly, with no complaints.

His greatest strength is self-awareness.

【……Lacking target experimental subject magic power data.】

【The Immortal Path data refreshing nonstop in the Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal Maiden's sea of consciousness suddenly halted, displaying a line of text, the Immortal Path great being's soul as precise and efficient as a super Immortal Path computer.】

【"Gu Shixiong, I don't quite understand《Return One Shadow Method》; could you explain it a bit?" The Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal Maiden suddenly lost all doubts and asked Liu Bang Gu Shixiong.】

【"Haha, naturally."】

【Liu Bang Gu Shixiong laughed loudly.】

【He patiently explained the various key points of《Return One Shadow Method》, and from time to time even projected his magic power into the Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal Maiden's dantian and meridians to explain the flow of simulated magic power.】

He cared even more about his cultivation than his own, repeatedly explaining every detail of the techniques, afraid that his junior brother wouldn't understand and would waste time and spirit stones in vain, hoping he could cultivate to a higher realm with a more solid foundation.

"We'll stop here for today."

"Cultivate well, junior brother. If you cultivate well, I'll lend you more spirit stones."

After lecturing for several days, Liu Bang smiled and bade farewell, departing.

"Good person."

"Gu Shixiong Liu Bang is truly a good person."

The Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal Maiden was deeply moved and said.
