Chapter 38

Gu Yang said, "I was in the mountains all the time before, and no one told me about these things."

Ling Ling was very curious about who his master was, but she didn't dare to ask too much. She said, "Every woman who can be listed on the Red Beauty List has something special about her."

"Like Ice Muscle Jade Bone, it is a special constitution. The last time it appeared was several hundred years ago. The person with this constitution has a natural pure yin energy, which is an excellent cauldron for men who practice yang attribute cultivation techniques."

Gu Yang learned a lot this time. It turned out that the yin energy in Su Qingzhi's body had such a name.

"Every woman with the Ice Muscle Jade Bone constitution is born with jade bones, and is already halfway to the Divine Ability Realm from birth. As long as they reach the First Rank, the Divine Ability Realm is just a step away."

Ling Ling's tone was filled with envy when she said this.

For others, the Divine Ability Realm is undoubtedly a natural barrier, as difficult as climbing to the sky. Countless talented people are stuck at this step and stop at the First Rank for their entire lives.

People like those who are born halfway into the Divine Ability Realm are like a manifestation of the unfairness of heaven.

"Does that mean I have taken a future Divine Ability Realm person as my maid?"

Such a thought flashed through Gu Yang's mind.

To be honest, thinking about it this way was quite exciting.

He asked again, "What about Qianjiao Bai Mei? What special qualities does it have to rank ahead of Ice Muscle Jade Bone?"

Ling Ling said, "The ranking on the Red Beauty List does not indicate superiority. Those ranked higher just appeared earlier."

"Qianjiao Bai Mei means a woman is born with a naturally charming bone structure, which has a natural allure to men and can easily capture a man's heart."

Gu Yang understood; it was like having a natural charm aura.

"More than a thousand years ago, a woman with Qianjiao Bai Mei, a prodigy, created a cultivation technique called 'Charming Maiden Heart Sutra.' She turned this charm into a powerful weapon, seducing countless martial arts experts to serve her."

"The Charming Maiden Sect she left behind would go to great lengths to recruit any woman with Qianjiao Bai Mei, causing bloodshed in the martial world."

Gu Yang asked curiously, "What about Cao Yiyi? Does she dare to wander around like this?"

Ling Ling said, "A few years ago, after Cao Yiyi was listed on the Red Beauty List, her father single-handedly killed everyone in the Charming Maiden Sect and burned it to the ground, completely eradicating the sect."

"..."

Gu Yang suddenly felt a bit relieved. If he had accidentally killed Cao Yiyi just now, wouldn't a Divine Ability Realm expert with a long spear be chasing him?

He became even more curious about the Red Beauty List, "What about the others on the Red Beauty List?"

"You will know in the future. I'm hungry, let's find a place to eat first." Ling Ling changed the subject.

...

...

After that, there were no more unexpected incidents.

A few days later, Gu Yang and Ling Ling arrived at Yuzhou City, a city with a population of over a million.

In this era, it was considered a large city, bustling with activity.

Gu Yang found an excuse to send Ling Ling away and went to the Four Seas Money House alone. He wanted to withdraw the money and directly recharge it into the system. He couldn't let her follow, or it would be hard to explain.

He had already found out that there were four branches of the Four Seas Money House in Yuzhou City alone.

He withdrew a few thousand taels from each branch, multiple times, and put them in a bag, which was not conspicuous. After leaving, he recharged the money into the system without anyone noticing.

In one afternoon, Gu Yang withdrew 30,000 taels and recharged them into the system.

Seeing the balance of 30,000 on the system page, he felt particularly reassured.

It was worth the great risk he took to escort Su Qingzhi to Pingjun.

This money was enough for him to perform fifteen simulations.

After finding Ling Ling at the agreed place, Gu Yang left Yuzhou City.

This was the territory of the Shen family, the same Shen Baiyi with ulterior motives he encountered in the life simulation.

In the past few days, while traveling, Gu Yang also learned many things from Ling Ling, unlike before when he was completely in the dark.

The Shen family was also one of the nine great surnames in the world. Coincidentally, the mother of the current Fifth Prince was from a branch of the Shen family.

Shen Baiyi was the young master of the Shen family, entering the Second Rank at the age of twenty-seven and ranking third on the Hidden Dragon List. Although he was not as outstanding as Liu Zhe, he was still one of the top geniuses.

In the future, he would definitely take charge of the Shen family and had a good chance of reaching the Divine Ability Realm.

Such a person suddenly appeared in Pingjun a year later and met Su Qingzhi by chance. Was this really a coincidence?

After Gu Yang and Ling Ling left Yuzhou City, that night, he did not camp in the wild but chose to stay at a house in a small town.

[Do you want to use the Life Simulator? Using it once costs 2000 gold.]

Seeing this prompt, he felt a bit excited. It had been almost half a month since he last saw this prompt. "Yes."

[At the age of twenty-two, you and Ling Ling went to Yuzhou City to exchange silver tickets. On the way, you encountered an injustice and saved Jiao Shumu, obtaining a treasure map, but were seen by Cao Yiyi, leading to a conflict.]

[Next, you returned to Pingjun City and focused on cultivation.]

[At the age of twenty-five, one night, a mysterious expert appeared in your room, asked for your name, and killed you with one sword strike. Ling Ling, who was in the same room, could not stop it. You died at the age of twenty-five.]

Gu Yang looked at this brief life and couldn't help but sigh.

This wasn't a life simulation; it was simply a collection of his countless ways to die.

He had barely changed his future, and the Liu family's assassin did not appear a year later. But three years later, another mysterious expert appeared and killed him without a word.

He didn't even know why the other person wanted to kill him.

Given Ling Ling's strength, the attacker must have been a Third Rank expert or higher.

"Was it Cao Yiyi's revenge? The Liu family's assassin? Or someone sent by the Fifth Prince?"

Gu Yang thought for a while but couldn't figure it out. The information was too limited.

The only thing he knew was that the attacker was targeting him, so it couldn't be Ling Ling's enemy.

[Simulation ended. You can retain one of the following.]

[1. Martial realm at the age of twenty-five.]

[2. Martial experience at the age of twenty-five.]

[3. Life wisdom at the age of twenty-five.]

Gu Yang didn't hesitate and chose the first option.

Suddenly, a massive and pure true qi surged into his body, doubling his strength.

"How much?"

He was a bit surprised. In just three years, his true qi had doubled, a speed that was beyond his imagination.

Such efficiency was not just a little better than before.

"Is it because of the dual cultivation with Su Qingzhi and the Tranquility Incense provided by Ling Ling?"

He quickly had a guess.

In the past few days, his cultivation speed had skyrocketed, and the biggest contributor was the Tranquility Incense provided by Ling Ling, which greatly improved the quality of his meditation.

Of course, it wasn't just because of her.

There was also the pure yin energy in Su Qingzhi's body, which greatly benefited his true qi.

In this simulation, he stayed in Pingjun City, and with these two women by his side, he was able to significantly increase his strength in just three years.

Otherwise, even if he cultivated for ten or eight years, he might not have achieved this effect.

...

At the same time, in the room, Ling Ling, who was resting with her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Gu Yang on the bed with surprise, "Why did his strength suddenly surge so much?"
