Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

In addition, the treasure vault contains a massive amount of refining materials, accumulated by a sect over hundreds of years.

Unfortunately... there were quite a few guards around the treasure vault. In the six directions of up, down, left, right, front, and back, apart from the underground where there was no one, the other five directions were all filled with cultivators, densely packed together, at least fifty or more.

As for underground... although there are no people there, there must be defensive measures such as rune arrays.

"Wait a minute, weren't you planning to ambush me?"

"Where do you ever see an ambush so openly and honestly?!"

Fang Rui, who was in stealth mode, cursed inwardly. After a while, he turned his gaze to other locations within the sect's territory.

There was also a dense crowd around the library, making it impossible to sneak in silently.

The remaining cultivators did not act alone, but in groups, patrolling the sect's territory. Their patrol method involved circling over the territory, clearly a countermeasure against a sneak attack.

Although it's a very common way of coping, to be fair, it is indeed very effective.

All the cultivators in the sect are above average in strength. He can eliminate several people at the same time if he wants to, but he cannot eliminate several people at the same time silently.

"This is really stumping me!"

With a somewhat helpless sigh, Fang Rui decided to challenge his limits.

It's not about finding his limit to taking on several opponents single-handedly, but rather the limit to silently launching a sneak attack and defeating the enemy in one strike.

After all, the Qi Dao Alliance is a force that maintains the stability of human nations, and Fang Rui, as a human, certainly has no reason to fight them to the death.

If he cannot achieve his goal without taking damage, Fang Rui will undoubtedly choose to give up.

Having made up his mind, Fang Rui immediately began to act...

But the problem now is...

Looking at the group of cultivators, Fang Rui had a thoughtful expression on his face.

Who should I choose as my first target?

After observing carefully for a while, Fang Rui realized that no matter which one he moved, it would attract the attention of other cultivators. After all, how could a person or several people falling from the sky not attract attention?

Even with the aid of illusion magic, he still couldn't stun a cultivator without attracting attention.

"emmm..."

"Forget it, let's not push our limits anymore. Let's check out the situation in another town!"

After thinking it over for a while, Fang Rui turned and left.

Although there are quite a few cultivators in the One Qi Alliance, they also have many missions to carry out. It is impossible for so many cultivators to stay here forever. Sooner or later they will have to return to their respective residences or go to other areas to carry out missions.

All he needs to do now is wait until the guards here return to normal before he "visits".

Back at the inn where he was staying, Fang Rui lay on his bed and pondered another matter: whether to go to a nearby town.

If the defenses of the other towns where the Qi Dao Alliance is located are similar to those of this town, going there would be a waste of his time. It would be better for him to stay in this town and wait for the cultivators to leave.

"In the meantime, I can go and cause some trouble for those monsters near the town."

Unlike humans, those monsters can't summon so many friends and companions; at most, they can only cooperate with monsters they are familiar with in the vicinity.

Therefore, Fang Rui was not worried about encountering hundreds of monsters.

Besides, even if he encountered hundreds of monsters, it wouldn't be a problem for him. There's no need to say more; he'd just go for it and talk about other things later.

However, the actual situation was not as he had expected; all the monsters that had been entrenched near the town had disappeared.

Inside the monster's lair, apart from the treasure, everything else was gone, indicating that the monsters had left in a hurry.

Based on recent events, Fang Rui made a reasonable guess: either one cultivator after another arrived in the town, scaring the monsters away on the spot...

Or it could be another situation where those cultivators, on their way to the town, slay demons and monsters, and incidentally collect treasures.

Both of the above guesses are possible, but Fang Rui is more inclined to the first guess because there are no traces of battle nearby.

"Since we're already here, we can't leave empty-handed. Let's wander around for a while, unlock the fog of war on the map, and see if there are any spiritual herbs, fruits, or other spiritual plants."

After all, spiritual plants are not convenient to carry, and the monsters who are in a hurry to leave probably won't dig them up and take them with them.

Just as he had expected, the spiritual plant was indeed not taken away.

With the idea that he couldn't leave empty-handed, Fang Rui dug out the spiritual plants and put them into his spatial artifact.

Several months later, the returning monsters saw the pit formed after the spirit plants were dug up and let out heartbroken howls.

Fang Rui, having taken all the valuables, returned to the city and rested in an inn, studying the art of weapon crafting.

His current weapon-refining skills are considered the best in the One-Man World, and probably outside the top 100 in the Fox Demon World.

After all, the magical artifacts in the fox spirit world are significantly more diverse, powerful, and wondrous...

He learned the weapon-forging techniques of the Tushan Fox Clan in Tushan, but how should I put it...

The weapon-forging methods of the Tushan Fox Clan seem to be somewhat unbalanced!

Moreover... when it comes to weapon crafting, the human race is undoubtedly more skilled.

Because one of the main methods humans use to fight monsters is magical artifacts, humans are very skilled at crafting artifacts.

Fang Rui was very interested.

Chapter 131 Unexpected Person

Another month later, the cultivators' countermeasures were ineffective. Fang Rui, with his excellent mobility, always managed to find towns with weak defenses in the One Qi Alliance and then achieve his goals.

The monsters entrenched in the human realm and its surrounding areas fared even worse. Fang Rui simply barged into their territory, defeated all of them, and then took all the valuables.

If Fang Rui encounters a monster that commits many evil deeds, he will send it to its death. He will do the same when he encounters a cultivator who commits many evil deeds.

It was precisely because of Fang Rui's style of doing things that his bounty kept getting higher and higher, and the number of cultivators and demons looking for him also increased. Some of the cultivators and demons were after his treasure, while others were after him to kill him and save face for a certain sect, organization, or demon race.

After all... whether it's someone sneaking in and knocking out dozens of cultivators from the same organization in a short period of time, or breaking into a demon clan's territory and defeating dozens or hundreds of demons head-on with overwhelming force, it's a rather shameful thing for both the cultivator organization and the demon clan's forces.

Therefore, it is only natural that the forces "visited" by Fang Rui would send people to relentlessly pursue him.

Unfortunately, Fang Rui, who is skilled in illusion and concealment, is not so easy to find.

The only problem is that as his fame grows and he "visits" more and more human towns, he is gradually getting closer to the core area of ​​the human world.

The headquarters of the One Qi Alliance is located in the core area of ​​the human world. Generally speaking, the core area of ​​a region is usually the most dangerous place, but the One Qi Alliance is different.

For the human realm, most of the high-level combat forces were dispatched to the border towns to guard against monsters rushing into the heart of the human realm without hindrance.

Only a small number of top-tier combatants were on standby at the headquarters of the Qi Dao Alliance. The remaining cultivators at the headquarters were either elderly people, retired cultivators who had been seriously injured, young people who were studying hard, or cultivators with relatively ordinary combat power and high-ranking members of the various forces that make up the Qi Dao Alliance.

Overall, the combat strength is very high. Fang Rui felt that if he rushed into the headquarters of the Qi Dao Alliance, there would be two possible outcomes... Either he would be defeated by a group of cultivators like a BOSS and exit the simulation in a grand battle, or he would be chased by a group of cultivators and escape in a sorry state.

"Whichever one it is, it seems quite interesting."

Fang Rui, who was leisurely strolling in a town, muttered to himself. Looking at the quaint and bustling town, his calm expression suddenly changed.

Come here!

A voice with a somewhat informal tone echoed in his ears, and Fang Rui's gaze followed it, but he couldn't find the person who spoke.

"Stop looking! I'm not on the street, I'm in the alley next to the steamed bun shop, about 100 meters away."

Upon hearing this, Fang Rui's gaze immediately locked onto the steamed bun shop located a hundred meters away. There were seven or eight people standing in front of the shop, and white steam was rising from it, indicating that business was quite good.

There is indeed an alleyway next to the steamed bun shop.

Without the slightest hesitation, Fang Rui immediately walked towards the alleyway. He was very interested in who the person or demon who had secretly contacted him was.

Was it a cultivator or demon who recognized his true identity, or a particularly lucky outlaw?

After all, some people are lucky enough to obtain basic cultivation methods and become beings between cultivators and ordinary people. Simply put, although they are already cultivating, they still cannot be considered cultivators, but they are much stronger than ordinary people.

There are quite a few people in this category. Some use their abilities to improve their lives through legal means, while others pursue higher levels of cultivation, wanting to become true cultivators. And what about the rest...?

Both individuals used their abilities to improve their lives, but unfortunately, they did so through illegal means.

For example, what Fang Rui is experiencing right now might be that someone with the ability to transmit sound has targeted him, wanting to lure him into an alleyway and then rob him...

As the saying goes, skill breeds boldness. Fang Rui, confident in his martial prowess, followed the enemy's plan and intended to give them a surprise.

However, once he entered the alley and saw who was speaking, his expression changed drastically again.

A small, shimmering figure floated in the air, seemingly composed entirely of light. It had no face, its left leg bent and resting on its right thigh, its right leg hanging limply, its head slightly tilted, its left fist pressed against its cheek, and its right hand holding a vegetable bun.

His demeanor was quite casual, but all signs indicated that he was not a simple character, especially since Fang Rui knew who he was.

"Hey! You're here~"

His slightly cheerful and irreverent tone echoed through the alleyway as he raised the hand holding the steamed bun and waved it a few times.

"I'm sorry to have bothered you, farewell!"

Upon seeing the little light man, Fang Rui's mind went completely blank. He had no thoughts left and turned to leave without the slightest hesitation.

"Don't be so cold! Come talk to me~"

Upon hearing this, Fang Rui stopped.

After carefully assessing the difference in strength between the two sides, one side is the third young master of Aolai Kingdom, who is the ceiling of combat power in the fox demon world. Although it is not completely clear, his prototype should be the Monkey King Sun Wukong.

The other side is an ordinary cultivator who has been cultivating for two and a half years and whose cultivation level has reached over a thousand years.

Speaking of which...

Fang Rui's gaze was somewhat unfocused. How old was the Third Young Master of Aolai Kingdom?

"You seem to be thinking about something not so good."

The question was phrased with an affirmative tone, which made Fang Rui gather his scattered thoughts. He turned to face the Third Young Master of Aolai Kingdom and greeted him politely, "Hello, Third Young Master of Aolai Kingdom!"

"Oh my, you know me!"

Although Xiao Guangren had no expression, Fang Rui thought he was smiling.

"Yes, I know you. May I ask what you need me for?"

Fang Rui maintained a polite demeanor as he spoke with the third young master of Aolai Kingdom.

"Take it easy, relax, don't be so tense. I'm just a little interested in you."

Xiao Guangren waved his hand casually, saying, "I heard rumors about you while I was strolling around, and I found you very interesting, so I came here specifically to meet you."

After a slight pause, Hikaru continued, "After meeting you, I found that you are indeed an interesting person."
