Chapter 31

When Gu Yang arrived at Tianmu City, in a dilapidated temple on a desolate mountain a few miles outside the city, a scruffy old man was roasting a wild rabbit over a fire.

Suddenly, a black figure appeared silently in the temple, crouching beside the old man and asking with concern, "Second Grandpa, did that Zheng family boy give you any trouble?"

The voice belonged to a young woman.

The old man didn't even lift his head, keeping his eyes on the roasting rabbit, and said, "If I couldn't handle such a little brat, I would have lived in vain all these years."

The woman sighed in relief, "Second Grandpa, you were so urgent in finding me, I thought something had happened."

"Indeed, something has happened."

The old man chuckled and said, "I've encountered someone with Pure Yang True Qi."

"Really?"

The woman's voice was filled with surprise, "Where is that person?"

In this world, it's not uncommon to find people who cultivate Extreme Yang True Qi. Many forces have similar cultivation methods.

However, someone with Pure Yang True Qi is extremely rare.

She and Second Grandpa had been searching for nearly ten years, traveling throughout the entire Great Zhou, even to the deserts, the Western Regions, and the Eastern Sea Islands, but they couldn't find a single person with Pure Yang True Qi.

Pure Yang, the key lies in the word 'pure,' almost innate.

There are many Yang-attribute cultivation methods in the world, but the True Qi cultivated by mortals will inevitably be tainted with impurities.

Unless it's the legendary Pure Yang Body, which is hard to come by.

Now, Second Grandpa has finally found someone with Pure Yang True Qi, how could she not be surprised?

Then, she became worried, "What is that person's cultivation level? Is it not the Divine Ability Realm?"

At the Divine Ability Realm, one has already transcended the mortal body and returned to the innate state, making it easy to cultivate Pure Yang True Qi.

For her, a Divine Ability Realm existence is meaningless.

The old man said confidently, "Your Second Grandpa hasn't become senile yet. That person looks to be in his early twenties, with a Fifth Rank cultivation level."

The woman was astonished, "Fifth Rank? How is that possible?"

The lower the realm, the less pure the True Qi. At the Fifth Rank, it's almost impossible to refine True Qi to the Pure Yang level.

The old man sighed, "This boy is truly blessed. If I'm not mistaken, he cultivates the 'Crimson Sun Technique' and is accompanied by a woman with ice-like skin and jade-like bones."

"That woman named Su Qingzhi is actually with him, I see."

The woman suddenly understood.

Ice-like skin and jade-like bones indicate a Pure Yin Body, a rare constitution that appears only once in several hundred years.

For martial artists who cultivate extreme Yang techniques like the Crimson Sun Technique or the Great Sun True Law, such a constitution is an excellent vessel that can help transform their True Qi into Pure Yang.

That's why Su Qingzhi, as soon as she topped the Beauty List, was targeted, leading to the destruction of her family and her disappearance.

The woman said with resentment, "This Beauty List is truly harmful. One day, I will tear down that Red Mansion."

At this moment, the old man, seeing that the wild rabbit was finally cooked, tore off a piece and ate it, his mouth dripping with oil, and said, "You should think about how to get close to that man."

"Don't worry, I have a plan," the woman said confidently.

...

On the other side, after recharging, Gu Yang returned directly to the inn and closed the door.

Su Qingzhi was still practicing, as if racing against time, while the young servant Zhi Xing, as usual, stood guard beside her.

Gu Yang didn't disturb them, entered the inner room, sat by the bed, and opened the system.

【Do you want to use the Life Simulator? One use costs 2000 gold.】

"Yes."

【At twenty, you are already a Fifth Rank martial artist. In Tianshui City, you rejected Lin Zirui's recruitment. Five days after leaving Tianshui City, you encountered the swordsman Zhou Qing and killed him with one strike.】

【You continued to Ping Commandery with Su Qingzhi. On the way, you encountered a beautiful woman selling herself to bury her father. You glanced at her and left.】

【Another day, in Tianqing City, you encountered a woman challenging for a marriage contest. You didn't even look and left.】

【Finally, you arrived at Ping Commandery. Su Qingzhi kept her promise, took you to the money house, and exchanged 30,000 taels of silver. Then she went to the Qingxuan Sect, while you settled down in Ping Commandery.】

【One month later, on a certain night, a woman in night clothes broke into the courtyard where you lived and fainted in front of you. You felt something was amiss, threw her out, and returned inside.】

【Another month later, you prepared to return to Lianshan to visit the people of Liu Family Village. In the wild, you accidentally saw a beautiful woman bathing in the river.】

【You were about to leave when the woman, wrapped in a light veil, appeared in front of you, a sword at your throat. She gave you two choices: marry her or die by her sword.】

【This woman had a Fourth Rank cultivation level, and you were no match for her, so you had to submit.】

【You returned to Ping Commandery with the woman named Ling Ling. After a simple wedding, you became husband and wife. That night, she left you the complete 'Crimson Sun Technique' and said she was being pursued by enemies. To avoid involving you, she had to leave. She promised to return when you broke through to the Fourth Rank, then she left.】

【At twenty-three, one night, the injured Su Qingzhi escaped to your home. The Liu family attacked the Qingxuan Sect, and she escaped in the chaos. You took her back to the Qingxuan Sect and killed all the Liu family members.】

【You took Su Qingzhi and the remaining Qingxuan Sect members and left Ping Commandery. The next day, you encountered Shen Baiyi of the Shen family on the road, who initiated a conversation with you.】

【After parting ways with Shen Baiyi, five days later, you encountered a lone bandit. After a fierce battle, you were severely injured. At a critical moment, Shen Baiyi appeared in time, repelled the bandit, and saved you.】

【You were severely injured and unconscious, and Su Qingzhi was also seriously injured. Shen Baiyi promised to treat you. Reluctantly, you followed Shen Baiyi to Xiang Commandery, where he was challenging Liu Zhe.】

【After arriving in Xiang Commandery, one night, assassins suddenly appeared. Just as you were about to be killed, your wife Ling Ling arrived in time and saved you, taking you away.】

【Ling Ling's whereabouts were revealed, and a few days later, her enemies caught up, a Third Rank expert. With no way out, both of you met your end. You died at the age of twenty-three.】

After reading the last line, Gu Yang was stunned.

This simulation was extremely short, only a year, until the age of twenty-three.

But so many things happened, more than in any previous simulation.

Especially Ling Ling, what was her deal?

She appeared out of nowhere and demanded to marry him.

Could this be the legendary good fortune in love?

Ling Ling, with an unknown background, powerful strength, and even more powerful enemies...

This was the treatment reserved for the main character.

Unfortunately, he didn't have the fate of a main character, and his ending wasn't good.
