Don't try to cultivate immortality; mortals live longer than immortals.

"Instructor, are you telling the truth? This is a matter of life and death, please don't lie to me."

"It should be true. I asked some senior students, and they said that the casualty rate in the trials is not high every year."

"Yes, I've heard my brother mention that too. The simulation training is actually much more difficult than the real trials. Once you pass the training stage, the subsequent dungeons become child's play, and the rewards are substantial. In this regard, the Immortal Alliance has always been very generous."

"It's such a pity that those classmates were eliminated; we were all lucky ones."

"That's right, we are definitely much stronger than other cultivators of the same level in the Azure Sky Cultivation World, so there's nothing to be afraid of."

……

Hearing whispers, Zheng Lei didn't stop them this time, because as the students exchanged information, their previously low morale began to rise rapidly.

Looking at her classmates' faces, which had regained their radiance, Jiang Yaoguang sighed inwardly, "Youth is truly wonderful."

Unfortunately, this instance in the Azure Sky Cultivation World is destined to be different from the situations we've faced before.

After a while, the instructor spoke again, drawing everyone's attention: "You still have a day and a half left. You must train hard and strive to return safely without anyone missing."

"Thank you, instructor!"

The students beamed with joy at such auspicious omens and blessings.

"Dismissed now. Everyone hasn't had breakfast yet. Let's go to the cafeteria. There will be an hour's rest after breakfast, and then we'll continue training."

……

"Goodbye, instructor!"

The crowd dispersed in a commotion.

Then, regardless of whether they were boys or girls, they all flocked to the cafeteria.

There was nothing I could do; I was woken up at 5 a.m. and didn't even have time for breakfast before being ruthlessly thrown into a dungeon.

Then came three hours of high-intensity training.

For those three hours, they were practically dancing with death. The tension and excitement were indescribable. Although it was 100% virtual, the students were exhausted both mentally and physically.

Everyone was starving, their stomachs growling. Now that they had the instructor's permission, who cared about their image anymore?

Of all things under heaven, eating is the most important.

Not to mention that everyone's cultivation level is not high enough to achieve the state of abstaining from grains, even if they did reach that level, cultivators from the Void Realm would rarely do so.

That's all ancient almanac from the time of classical cultivation of immortality; eating, drinking, and excretion are simply one of life's great pleasures.

Becoming a cultivator is also for the purpose of tasting more delicious spiritual food. But now I don't even eat rice. Isn't that putting the cart before the horse? Is there something wrong with my head?

On the contrary, in this world, the higher the cultivation level of a cultivator, the more they eat.

It's not that the body needs to replenish energy in this way, but simply because it tastes good; in short, it's to satisfy one's appetite.

The joy of foodies is something ancient cultivators don't understand, or perhaps their productivity hasn't reached that level. In any case, in the Ruins of Return, even Nascent Soul Ancestors or Divine Transformation Lords often disguise themselves and patronize hole-in-the-wall restaurants.

That's considered following the rules!

Some high-level cultivators act completely as they please. There was once a Divine Lord who was photographed by a third-rate media tabloid. This dignified old monster at the Nascent Soul level was actually wearing a vest and shorts, squatting on the side of the road with a group of ordinary people, slurping noodles.

Of course, this isn't even the most outrageous thing.

Even more outrageous was the story of two Nascent Soul cultivators who were originally good friends and agreed to have dinner together. However, after a few drinks, they got drunk and started arguing about whether sweet or savory tofu pudding was better.

Then the argument escalated, and in the heat of the moment, the two disregarded their century-old friendship and started fighting in the street.

……

In short, eating is a very important thing in Guixu.

The same principle applies to cultivators as to mortals.

The crowd rushed towards the cafeteria.

Then I was shocked.

Because everyone discovered that the other half of the eliminated group were already eating.

"Are you kidding me? These people are behaving so poorly, how come they're already eating?"

Many people were so angry that their noses were crooked.

But upon closer inspection, it became clear that the students were eating and crying at the same time, with a robot supervising them.

It turns out they weren't eating at all, they were being punished, and what they were eating was all bizarre and terrible food!

But right in front of them were many perfectly normal dishes that looked and smelled delicious.

"That's too cruel!"

"I can only eat bizarre food, but right next door are all delicious dishes, and I can't even eat them! This is like killing me and crushing my spirit!"

……

The next two days of training remained intense and exciting.

No one slacked off; all the students gave it their all. This 100% realistic simulation allowed everyone to see the cruel side of the cultivation world.

Once you enter the instance and participate in the Crimson Trial, it's no longer a game or a drill; you'll actually get injured or even die.

The more sweat you shed now, and the more you remember the instructor's advice, the greater your chances of returning home safely in the future.

Finally, the three-day training session came to an end.

Surprisingly, the last subject was also quantum physics.

However, this time it's not about making up for other shortcomings, but about enabling everyone to master the language of the Azure Sky Immortal Cultivation World in the shortest possible time.

After all, this time we are going on an adventure to the enemy's territory. What we need is to take them by surprise and win by cleverness, rather than foolishly revealing our identities and fighting head-on with them.

Since disguising oneself and concealing one's identity is a necessity, it is also necessary to master the language and customs of the Qingqiong cultivation world.

Well... how should I put it?

It's not difficult!

It's a bit complicated.

It is extremely difficult to master in a short period of time.

Fortunately, this situation is perfectly suited for quantum indoctrination!

There's not much to say about the process; everything went smoothly. However, Duan Xuan noticed that this time they were using a regular quantum infusion machine, not something as advanced as a knowledge anchor pod.

After the last subject was finished, it was only a little past 8 p.m. The instructor gave the students standing in front a deep look and smiled as he gave them some words of advice.

"Don't be nervous, everyone. Remember, your cultivation techniques, personal strength, and equipment are far superior to those guys in the Azure Sky Immortal Cultivation World. Plus, you've outmaneuvered them. As long as you don't make any low-level mistakes, everyone can return safely."

"I know some people don't want to take the risk, but this is a necessary test on the path of cultivation!"

"In short, everyone work hard, and I hope that when I see you all next time, you will have all reached the Foundation stage."

"Thank you, instructor!"

The students unanimously agreed, even though they had only known each other for three days and Zheng Lei was indeed very strict with them.

But no one was stupid; they could tell that he was indeed a cold-faced but warm-hearted cultivator, and also a good instructor.
