After transforming into a fairy, I, in my simulation, wreaked havoc in the cultivation world.

In the end, you still agreed to this inexplicable agreement, because this handsome uncle in imperial robes gave you a level-five spirit embryo.

The primordial spirit embryo is divided into five levels, with level five being the highest.

As for whether or not to keep a promise, it comes down to this:

[Any words or actions spoken or performed in this simulation have no legal effect, and the final interpretation right rests with the individual.]

Lin Qingyu has her own flexible set of moral principles.

After the transaction was completed, you took the opportunity to ask this powerful figure to send you out of the capital.

[After all, Xiao Hei caused such a big incident. Even if Ji Yue Li eventually gains control of the Spirit Embryo Palace, you'll probably still get a beating.]

So you chose to run away.

【...】

[The Hehuan Sect.]

[Now that you have returned in a powerful state with your Golden Core form, you have naturally become the Holy Maiden of the Joyful Union Sect.]

But you did not choose to ascend the crimson lotus.

Instead, he chose a cave dwelling on Flowing Light Island, one of the four immortal islands, and took on the role of a sect elder.

The spiritual energy atop the giant lotus is indeed much denser, providing additional support for the cultivation of Golden Core cultivators.

[But there are too many high-level cultivators up there. With your and Liu Guanzhi's abilities, which are completely shady, staying there for too long will inevitably expose your secret sooner or later.]

With the title "Enchanting Hehuan Maiden" and an abundance of spirit crystals, her cultivation speed will only be faster than that of the Giant Lotus.

When it's time to be greedy, be greedy to the end; when it's time to be timid, be decisive.

[Inside the secret chamber of the cave.]

You sit cross-legged, holding the embryonic spirit in your palm.

This spiritual embryo is entirely crimson, with intricate patterns flowing within it. Upon closer inspection, a cluster of crimson-gold flames burns within it.

After much deliberation, you finally decided to refine the Broken Abyss as your natal magic weapon.

Although you are currently focusing on swordsmanship, you haven't forgotten what your ancestor from the Azure Phoenix Clan told you back in Falling Phoenix City:

"Our clan was once renowned throughout the heavens, but a great upheaval led to its decline. However, if you awaken your bloodline with the essence of the Azure Phoenix and break through to a higher realm within the time limit, you can gradually forge the unparalleled Azure Phoenix Sacred Body!"

Therefore, you are very clear that the Azure Phoenix Sacred Body is absolutely your most powerful combat asset on your future cultivation path.

[And Duan Yuan, in terms of both fighting style and attributes, is extremely compatible with the Holy Body.]

Moreover, this magic weapon's grade far exceeds your current resources. Once you refine it into your natal magic weapon, your combat power will undoubtedly increase significantly.

With this in mind, you no longer hesitated, and as you raised your hand, the fiery red halberd hovered before you.

[You reached out and gently stroked the halberd, about to merge the crimson spirit embryo into it, when a beautiful red figure suddenly appeared.]

【"Youyi?"】

Your brows are slightly furrowed.

She has always been obedient and would never show herself without being summoned.

"Master, I want to become the spirit of this weapon."

Youyi looked at you intently.

Upon hearing this, your hand paused slightly.

"You need to think this through carefully. Once you become a spirit, you will never have a chance to be resurrected; you will only live on as a spirit for eternity."

[Strictly speaking, ghosts can also be considered a type of ghost cultivator. If they cultivate to the later stages, they may still have the opportunity to be reborn as humans.]

But a spirit vessel is different; it merges its soul into an inanimate object, altering the essence of its soul and leaving it with no chance to reunite with its physical body.

"Master, Youyi deserves to die."

A gentle and grateful look appeared in Youyi's eyes as she looked at you.

"It was just good luck that I met you and was able to be reborn. I know that my master has great ambitions."

She paused, a resolute glint in her eyes.

"But I have no more attachments in this life; my only wish is to help my master."

Upon hearing this, a flicker of hesitation crossed your eyes.

[It's not that I'm reluctant to part with her, but rather that I'm weighing the options: is it more useful to keep Youyi as a ghost, or is it more worthwhile to refine her into a weapon spirit?]

You seemed to have thought of something; your mind stirred slightly.

【Brother Tong~ If I refine it into a weapon spirit, can I bring it back to the real world?】

[After all, you've already experimented with this before; sentient beings in the simulated world cannot be brought back to reality.]

"No!"

【"What? Does that mean I can't refine it into my natal magic weapon?"】

"Simply put, only you can increase your cultivation level by using the simulator."

Damn it!

You curse inwardly, "That damn system doesn't give us any loopholes!"

[But thinking about it, it makes sense. If things related to you could also grow using a simulator, then Cat and Youyi would probably be invincible very quickly.]

Once you understand this, you will have no more worries.

[First, refine Youyi into a weapon spirit. By comparing the two, the optimal solution can naturally be found.]

You regained your composure and focused your gaze on the spiritual embryo in your palm.

A crimson flame burned silently deep within the spiritual embryo, casting a crimson glow on your palm.

"Have you thought it through?"

Although you prioritize profit above all else, you wouldn't force the ghosts or cats around you to do anything.

Youyi nodded without the slightest hesitation.

Before you could even speak, she transformed into a streak of light and plunged into the abyss.

Feeling the halberd tremble continuously, you slowly push the spiritual embryo in your hand into it.

[Youyi's voluntary sacrifice will grant Duanyuan a fully conscious artifact spirit, and the spirit embryo will be the artifact spirit's "body."]

【"Buzz~!"】

The next moment, a dark golden storm of spiritual energy erupted from the halberd, sending shards of stone flying and filling the secret chamber with dust.

You were forced back several steps, but your gaze remained fixed on what lay ahead.

At the eye of the storm, Duan Yuan hovered in mid-air, his halberd shimmering with a chaotic interplay of crimson and dark light.

Pure gold is the origin of the spiritual embryo.

Darkness is the soul of Youyi.

The two forces clashed violently inside the halberd, yet proved incompatible.

After a moment's wait, you no longer hesitated, took a step forward, and reached out to grasp the halberd's hilt.

A violent backlash surged through your arm and into your body, causing you to immediately spit out a mouthful of blood, which instantly seeped into the halberd.

You haven't let go.

Pale golden blood flowed along your meridians, leaving fine golden lines on your skin, spreading out like layers of phoenix feathers.

A vast and majestic aura rose from within you.

The previously clashing crimson and dark lights suddenly froze under the oppressive power of the Azure Phoenix bloodline.

Golden patterns spread from your arm, slowly enveloping the crimson and dark light along the blood on the halberd.

【"Buzz~!"】

A moment later, the two began to slowly merge on the halberd, transforming into new patterns interwoven with crimson gold and dark shadows...
