Chapter 141 Another Simulation: The Son-in-Law of the Luo Shen Clan, and the Favor of the Yan Emperor!

Soon after,

Inside a private room on the second floor of the Black Seal Auction House.

"Master, all the forces have left."

Wuya bowed respectfully and said in a humble tone.

Lu Yu took a sip of the tea, the aroma lingering on his lips and teeth. He slowly set down the celadon teacup and said calmly, "You've worked hard. Now, go and prepare for your breakthrough and properly hand over the affairs of the city."

Just as Wuya was about to take his leave, Lu Yu continued, "In a few days, bring some men and come with me to Demon Flame Valley..."

"Demon Flame Valley?" Wu Ya's expression froze, his eyes flashing with a sharp light. "Sect Master, could it be that you intend to..."

Lu Yu smiled slightly and tapped the table lightly with his fingertips: "It's time to reel in the fish after raising them for so long."

His voice was so calm that it seemed to have no emotion, yet it sent a chill down Wuya's spine.

"Summon the elite forces in half a month."

Lu Yu got up and walked to the window, looking down at the myriad lights outside Black Seal City.

"I want Demon Flame Valley to be wiped off the map of Black Corner Region from now on."

Wuya took a deep breath, knelt on one knee, and said, "Your subordinate will go and prepare immediately!"

After Wuya withdrew, Little Fairy Doctor stepped out from behind the screen and said softly, "As a top power in the Black Corner Region, Demon Flame Valley must have collected a lot of rare medicinal herbs over the years..."

"exactly."

Lu Yu turned around, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and said, "The Lingbao Pavilion needs a lot of resources to develop. The accumulation of the Demon Flame Valley over the years can serve as a stepping stone for our Lingbao Pavilion."

He walked slowly to the table, took out a map and slowly unfolded it: "After destroying Demon Flame Valley, 30% of the resources obtained will be used for the development of the pavilion, and 70% will be used to recruit disciples."

His slender fingers slowly traced across the map, finally stopping at the northwest region: "Start with the kingdoms of Gama and Izumo, and then gradually annex the empires of Luoyan and Mulan."

With a light tap of his fingertip, a pale golden battle aura outlined a clear route on the map.

"The borders of the four great empires are constantly at war, and tens of thousands of orphans have been displaced. These orphans, whom no one cares about, are the best foundation for my Lingbao Pavilion."

Lu Yu stared at the map in front of him and said calmly.

Little Fairy Doctor gazed at the border fortresses marked on the map and said softly, "Like Canaan Academy, will they recruit students from the four great empires?"

“Not bad.” Lu Yu put away the map, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and said, “After this battle, I want everyone in the Black Corner Region to remember the name of Lingbao Pavilion. One auction to make a name for ourselves, one great battle to establish our prestige, and in this way, the foundation of Lingbao Pavilion will be truly established.”

He stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the night outside the window: "However, unlike Canaan Academy, what we need are truly loyal disciples. These orphans are helpless and alone; if we give them a new life, they will follow us wholeheartedly."

Upon hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor nodded thoughtfully.

……

In the days that followed, Lu Yu settled down in Black Seal City. He spent his days refining pills in a specially prepared alchemy room, the rich aroma of which often enveloped half the city.

On this day, Lu Yu walked out of the alchemy room, holding an exquisite jade bottle in his hand. He came to the courtyard and saw Xiao Yan cultivating, so he waved to him.

"Brother Yan, come here."

Xiao Yan finished his practice and walked over, his forehead still covered in fine beads of sweat. Lu Yu handed him the jade bottle and said, "Try this."

Xiao Yan took the jade bottle, opened it, and inside lay a pure purple pill, its surface adorned with cloud-like patterns, emitting an alluring fragrance. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "This is... the Purple Jade Breakthrough Pill?"

Lu Yu nodded with a smile, and Xiao Yan chuckled and swallowed the pill without hesitation.

In an instant, his battle aura surged like boiling water, his robes fluttering even without wind. The bottleneck of the five-star Dou Ling was broken through in an instant, and his momentum rose steadily, reaching the six-star Dou Ling level in the blink of an eye. Moreover, the momentum did not diminish, and finally, he steadily stopped at the level of the seven-star Dou Ling.

"As expected of a top-grade fifth-rank pill..."

Feeling the surging Dou Qi within his body, Xiao Yan couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Then, he looked up at Lu Yu, his eyes filled with gratitude, and clasped his hands in thanks, saying, "Brother Lu, thank you very much."

Lu Yu smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Between brothers like us, there's no need for formalities."

He paused, then asked with concern, "Has Senior Yao shown any signs of waking up?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan gave a wry smile, his fingers unconsciously tracing his storage ring as he shook his head, saying, "Still no, but..."

A glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes as he continued, "Recently, the soul fluctuations within the ring have become increasingly pronounced. I can sense that Teacher should be waking up soon."

Lu Yu nodded, patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder, and said, "Senior Yao is very fortunate and will definitely be safe and sound. Don't worry too much, just focus on your cultivation."

Having said that, he abruptly changed the subject, his expression turning cold, and said, "According to my scouts, Han Feng has now defected to the Demon Flame Valley. Come with me in half a month; this time, I will make sure he has nowhere to escape. We couldn't find him during the three-year agreement last time, but this time..."

"I see."

Xiao Yan's eyes were like torches, his fists clenched unconsciously, and he said firmly, "Brother Lu, this time I want to personally kill this fiend."

"You want to do it yourself?"

Lu Yu frowned slightly, then shook his head and said, "There are Dou Zong level experts in Demon Flame Valley. The seal I set for Han Feng has probably been broken, but it will take him quite a while to fully recover. In my opinion, he should currently have the strength of a low-level Dou Huang. You..."

"That's enough, Brother Lu."

A burning fighting spirit ignited in Xiao Yan's eyes, and a ball of eerie white flame suddenly rose in his palm. He said decisively, "For the past year, I have been studying the Bone Spirit Cold Flame left behind by my teacher, and I have now been able to master it."

As he spoke, another ball of earthy yellow flame ignited in his right hand, and he said, "With the addition of the Wind Fury Dragon Flame, I am 70% confident in unleashing the Heavenly Fire Three Transformations."

Looking at the two strange flames intertwined between Xiao Yan's hands, Lu Yu's eyes flashed with surprise: "You can actually control two strange flames at the same time?"

"Not very skilled yet."

Xiao Yan extinguished his flames, took out a jade bottle from his storage ring, and said, "This is the 'Blood Burning Pill' that I improved based on my teacher's notes. It can raise my strength to two stars in a short time, although only for half an hour..."

Lu Yu took the jade bottle, examined it carefully, and nodded, saying, "The medicinal properties are relatively mild, and the side effects are less than I expected."

When he handed the jade bottle back to Xiao Yan, his eyes were full of approval as he said, "It seems you have prepared very thoroughly."

"Since you've made up your mind, then go for it."

The two exchanged some cultivation insights, and then Xiao Yan got up to say goodbye: "Brother Lu, I'm going to familiarize myself with my newly broken-through realm first."

"Go." Lu Yu watched Xiao Yan leave, and after his figure disappeared, he turned and walked towards the quiet room.

The meditation room was located at the deepest part of the city lord's mansion, surrounded by a large array to prevent prying eyes. The illusory figure of Venerable Heavenly Fire was already waiting outside the door. Upon seeing Lu Yu arrive, it nodded slightly: "Is everything arranged?"

Lu Yu nodded and said, "Thank you for protecting me, Senior." He pushed open the stone door of the meditation room, which was pitch black inside. Lu Yu flicked his finger, and a wisp of blue flame leaped out, illuminating the room. In the center of the meditation room was an ancient futon, and apart from that, there was nothing else.

Lu Yu sat cross-legged on the futon, waved his hand, and an invisible barrier descended. Then, with a thought, a pale blue light screen slowly opened.

"It's time. This time, let's try cultivating two soul techniques together in a simulation. If there are no problems, breaking through to the Spirit Realm will be just around the corner. Also, find a few high-level combat skills for Xian'er. She is now a Dou Zong, and her previous low-level Earth Rank combat skills are a bit too advanced."

After saying that, Lu Yu had a thought, and the light blue screen in front of him instantly rippled.

[Ding! Extracting a simulated identity for the host—]

[Selection successful. Please choose one of the following three roles.]

[One, The Son-in-Law of the Luo Shen Clan—You are a natural-born vessel for the Luo Shen Clan, adopted by them at a young age. You grew up with Empress Luo Li of the Luo Shen Clan, and after reaching adulthood, you married into the clan, becoming the enviable son-in-law of the Luo Shen Clan.]

[Second, Disciple of the Xuantian Palace—You are a disciple of the Human Demon Elder, one of the three elders of the Xuantian Palace, a top-tier power in the Northern Region of the Tianluo Continent.]

[Third, Martial Spirit Academy Student—You are a core student of Martial Spirit Academy, one of the five major academies. You have been valued by an elder of Martial Spirit Academy and taken as a personal disciple. Your talent for body refinement is exceptional.]

Please make your choice——

"This simulation was fairly average; the choices weren't bad at all..."

Lu Yu looked at the three options in the simulation. He had already simulated the Martial Spirit Academy options before, and simulating them again would definitely yield greater results than before.

"However, the Human Demon Elder of the Xuantian Palace is an Eighth-Rank Supreme, which is much higher than the cultivation of the Elder of the Martial Spirit Academy. Although the Five Great Academies have a good reputation in the Great Thousand World, most of their elders are only Initial-Rank Supremes, and the deans of each academy are only Mid-Rank Supremes. They cannot compare with a force like the Xuantian Palace, which has an Earth Supreme in charge."

"As for the Luo Shen Clan..."

Lu Yu stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and thought to himself, "Although it has declined, Luo Li's grandfather, Luo Tianshen, the patriarch of the Luo Shen clan, is still a high-ranking Earthly Sovereign. Although he was injured, he is still stronger than the Xuan Tian Palace."

"Furthermore, the Luo Shen Clan is a lineage passed down from the ancient Saint-rank Heavenly Supreme Luo Shen, so its foundation is definitely much deeper than that of the Xuan Tian Palace."

Thinking of this, Lu Yu's lips curled up slightly: "In that case, let's try starting as a live-in son-in-law this time."

With a thought, the light screen before my eyes rippled like water.

[Selection successful! Impersonation loading...]

[Simulation begins——]

[In the first year, you were found by the God of Luo from the sacred Luo River of the Luo Clan when you were a child. After testing your talent, he discovered that you possessed the rare Azure Jade Marrow Body, a physique that appears only once every thousand years. This body is naturally formed with jade bones and contains divine marrow. If cultivated to its full potential and replenished, it can help one break through the shackles of the Earthly Sovereign realm.]

[The God of Luotian regards you as a precious gift bestowed upon the clan by the Luo River, and will raise you alongside Princess Luo Li, treating you with the same status and privileges as the clan's holy sons.]

You knew his intentions, but you didn't care. After all, the simulation only lasted ten years, and the Azure Jade Marrow Body needed to be cultivated to the Ninth Grade Supreme level to be worth using for sustenance. Given the current decline of the Luo Shen Clan, you thought Luo Tian Shen's plan was simply a pipe dream.

[The year you turned sixteen and came of age, Luo Tianshen couldn't wait to officiate your wedding. Because you and Luo Li were childhood sweethearts, the marriage was a natural progression; Luo Li didn't object, and even you felt you'd gotten a great deal.]

[Afterwards, on your wedding night with Luo Li, you thoroughly enjoyed the pleasures of being the most beautiful woman in the future Great Thousand World...]

[In the second month, to protect Luo Li and conceal your special constitution, Luo Tianshen sent you to the Five Great Academies for cultivation, agreeing that you would return to your clan after breaking through to the Supreme Realm. Before your departure, he planted a spiritual energy clone within you, both for monitoring and protection.]

[In the second year, you and Luo Li participated together in the Spiritual Path Trial held by the Five Great Academies. Within this special space where spiritual energy was forbidden, all participants could only rely on pure physical strength to fight. For you, who had experienced countless battles, this was like a fish in water.]

During the trials, you and Luo Li swept through the competition hand in hand, unstoppable. Those so-called geniuses of the Spiritual Path were utterly no match for you, and you quickly earned the titles of "White-Clad Asura" and "Fairy of Luoshui." Ultimately, you crushed your way to the title of Spiritual Crown, and Luo Li easily achieved a King-level rating.

To your surprise, you didn't encounter Mu Chen along the entire Spiritual Path. After inquiring, you learned that this chosen one had graduated from the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy last year and is now a legend there.

[Subsequently, faced with the invitations from the five major academies, you pondered for a long time. The Martial Spirit Academy was renowned for its body-refining techniques, which might benefit your Azure Jade Marrow Body; the Myriad Phoenix Spirit Academy only accepted female disciples, and Luo Li would surely shine if she went there; as for the resources of the Northern Cang Continent, they had probably already been exhausted by Mu Chen. In the end, you chose the Martial Spirit Academy.]

Unexpectedly, Luo Li did not accept your suggestion, but insisted on joining the Martial Spirit Academy with you. Looking at her stubborn eyes, you could only shake your head helplessly, yet a warmth rose in your heart.

[In the second month, under the baptism of the Spiritual Path Initiation, you both broke through to the Divine Soul Realm, and finally both refined the Spirit of the Luo River, which the Luo God Clan had carefully prepared for you, as your Divine Souls.]

[Afterwards, in the Spirit Technique Hall of the Martial Spirit Academy, you each chose a spirit technique. You chose a superior-grade divine-level technique, the "Ten Thousand Poisons Palm," while Luo Li chose a superior-grade divine-level dual cultivation sword technique, the "Tai Xu Yin Yang Sword Manual."]

[In the third month, to accelerate your cultivation, you imparted the Inner Scripture of Emperor Luo Li. As a rare individual with the Azure Jade Marrow Body, and possessing the purest bloodline of the Luo Shen Clan in history, the speed of your dual cultivation was simply astonishing, even you found it unbelievable.]

[In the fifth month, with the help of dual cultivation, you and Luo Li both broke through to the Fusion Heaven Realm...]

[In the ninth month, you and Luo Li both broke through to the Transformation Realm...]

[In the third year, you and Luo Li both broke through to the Tongtian Realm. As your cultivation level increased, your cultivation speed gradually slowed down, so you devoted more energy to cultivating the *Tai Xu Yin Yang Sword Manual*. This peerless sword manual is divided into the Yang volume *Nine Heavens Pure Yang Sword Technique* and the Yin volume *Mysterious Moon Maiden Sword Technique*, combining strength and gentleness, and its combined power is comparable to a true divine art.]

Even more surprisingly, cultivating this sword manual produced a miraculous amplification to the "Great Emperor's Inner Scripture." During a deep dual cultivation session, the spiritual energy within your bodies resonated, naturally leading to a breakthrough to the late stage of the Heavenly Realm.

[In the fourth year, the Spiritual Academy Tournament begins. By this time, you have reached the pinnacle of spiritual power, and with your mastered Tai Xu Yin Yang Sword Manual, you sweep through the preliminary rounds with unstoppable momentum. While exploring the ruins continent, you unexpectedly discover the Heavenly Water Palace's legacy. Although the palace spirit's insistence on the rule of "passing down the torch to women only" frustrates you, you respect tradition and patiently wait outside for Luo Li to undergo her test.]

Not long after, Luo Li emerged from the ruins holding the Heavenly Water Palace's heirloom—the low-grade divine artifact, the "Heavenly Water Sword"—and presented it to you. The Palace Spirit's expression was priceless, while you merely chuckled.

[In the fifth year, due to the scarcity of strong contenders in this year's Spirit Academy Tournament, you and Luo Li unsurprisingly won the championship. You received two Supreme Pills as a reward and both broke through to the Supreme Realm.]

In the sixth year, Luo Tianshen personally visited the Martial Spirit Academy. Faced with the call to return to your clan, you remained calm, but Luo Li was deeply worried. Years of living together had allowed her to understand the secrets of your constitution and Luo Tianshen's intentions.

In the seventh year, after returning to the Luo Shen Clan, you gently stroked Luo Li's cheek and comforted her, "Don't be sad." But seeing her tearful eyes, your heart softened. In the dead of night, you whispered in her ear, asking her to do something. After much hesitation, she finally nodded in agreement to your plan...

In the eighth year, the Blood God Clan launched a massive attack on the Luo God Clan, and the situation became extremely precarious. Faced with the threat of annihilation, Luo Tianshen decided to sacrifice herself to buy you time to escape...

At this critical moment, a clear laugh suddenly resounded throughout the heavens and earth: "Elder Luo, you didn't even inform me of the impending annihilation of your clan. Do you intend to make me bear the name of ingratitude?"

Before the words had even finished, fiery lotuses bloomed across the sky, and Emperor Yan, Xiao Yan, arrived, stepping through the air!

[This is naturally the result of you secretly having Luo Li invite him. You are well aware of Luo Tianshen's concerns—he thought that the Yan Emperor, who had become the Supreme Being, might not care about the kindness he received when he was still a nobody. But this loyal and righteous Yan Emperor still came in the end.]

[In the ninth year, after the Blood God Clan's Earthly Sovereigns were annihilated by Emperor Yan, Emperor Yan not only healed Luo Tianshen's old wounds but also bestowed upon you two juniors a generous gift—two precious Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Pills. These pills contain the power of Nirvana, which can help cultivators rebuild their foundation when breaking through to the Ninth-Rank Sovereign, greatly increasing the probability of breaking through to the Earthly Sovereign level.]

In the tenth year, at the very last moment of the simulation, you attempted to cultivate both the "Heavenly Fire Forging God Technique" and the "Soul-Slaying Sword Scripture" simultaneously, and were pleasantly surprised to find that the two techniques did not conflict at all. Subsequently, as the Holy Son of the Luo Shen Clan, you were granted access to the deepest part of the library, where you carefully selected five unique divine arts to inherit.

[As the simulation draws to a close, you will seal the "Ten Thousand Poisons Palm," the "Tai Xu Yin Yang Sword Manual," and these five divine techniques together into the inheritance jade slip.]

[This simulation ends——]

You can choose one of the following three items.

【I. Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Pill (Supreme-grade Divine Pill)】

[Part Two, Your Inheritance Jade Slip]

Third, the Heavenly Water Sword (Low-grade Divine Weapon)
