I cultivate immortality through The Sims.

When Yang Mu finally reached the abandoned cave, he was still panting heavily.

He knew why the sect leader hadn't found out about Tan Yanrao.

He also knew about the saintess's so-called backup plan.

Not bad!

That's Chen Haiquan.

If I remember correctly, Chen Haiquan will leave the meeting at Zongnei early tonight.

From then on, Chen Haiquan seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Although Yang Mu was puzzled when he heard the news, he did not pay much attention to it.

It's just a simple speculation that the sect leader might have personally killed Chen Haiquan.

Only now did Yang Mu realize the truth.

Chen Haiquan was not killed by the sect leader, but escaped from the sect by using the fake order.

The counterfeit token he used was most likely a counterfeit token belonging to Guo Yufei.

In other words, if he fails in his mission tonight, Chen Haiquan will personally intervene.

Then, he fled the sect.

Before escaping, Chen Haiquan would definitely kill him, the one who had been killed.

Still trying to obtain a counterfeit order?

If Yang Mu really took the counterfeit token from Guo Yufei, then Yang Mu would be dead if he didn't die.

As for why they didn't just have Chen Haiquan steal the notes directly.

Yang Mu guessed that it was the Holy Maiden's suspicion of Chen Haiquan.

Chen Haiquan is also at the peak of Foundation Establishment, and breaking through to the Golden Core stage is almost a certainty.

If Chen Haiquan gets his hands on that notebook and tries to seize the Nascent Soul Realm, the Holy Maiden will have virtually no way to deal with him.

Because Chen Haiquan could easily replicate tonight's actions: kill Guo Yufei, steal the notebook, and then escape the sect.

Without that notebook, the Saintess's chances of succeeding in her plot to reach the Nascent Soul Realm would be greatly reduced, and she might even have another competitor like Chen Haiquan.

Even if there were only a slim chance, the Holy Maiden did not want to take the risk of letting Chen Haiquan take action personally.

Therefore, the Holy Maiden chose a Qi Refining handyman disciple who posed no threat to her and whom she could crush with one hand to do this task.

Even if you fail more than once.

Perhaps Chen Haiquan already had such thoughts, which is why the Holy Maiden asked him to use this as a backup plan, take Guo Yufei's fake token, escape from the sect, and send him away.

In other words, if he were to be seen by Chen Haiquan while inside or outside the sect leader's cave, he would be in danger.

Chen Haiquan is very likely to kill him, steal the notebook, and escape the sect.

No wonder the Holy Maiden gave her the Black Jade Sword Talisman, which could instantly kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

No wonder Yang Mu thought from the beginning that with the Ink Jade Sword Talisman in hand, anyone could complete this task.

The Thousand Cloud Sect is in utter danger!

Yang Mu couldn't help but sigh.

During the simulation, I was incredibly lucky to have survived and left the Thousand Cloud Sect.

Thinking of this, Yang Mu couldn't help but glance at the remaining simulation time: 20:01:01:32.

There are still more than two weeks left!

too long!

I need to quickly simulate, improve my skills, and get the latest script to be safe!

Thinking this, Yang Mu suddenly felt a warmth in his body:

"Master, your disciple, the Holy Maiden, is in so much pain! Please, Master, help your disciple!"

Tan Yanrao had already climbed onto Yang Mu's body without anyone noticing.

"In that case, I will help you out," Yang Mu said seriously after clearing his throat twice.

...

An hour and a half later, Tan Yanrao lay on the bed, panting heavily, but with a satisfied smile on her face.

Looking back, Yang Mu couldn't help but sigh: If I wasn't worried about something going wrong, it would have taken another half an hour.

Just then, Yang Mu suddenly saw the countdown in front of him and was immediately startled.

Immediately, Yang Mu was overjoyed.

He turned around and ran to Tan Yanrao's side, giving her a big kiss.

Because Yang Mu saw that the countdown in front of him had changed: 01:22:32:57.

It's been shortened by 20 days!

This countdown can be shortened!

How could Yang Mu not be excited upon reaching this conclusion?

Immediately, Yang Mu suppressed his excitement and pondered to himself:

After finishing with Tan Yanrao, the time was shortened by 20 days.

Does working with Tan Yanrao shorten the time, or does it mean that the time can be shortened no matter who you work with?

"Master, you are so powerful!" Tan Yanrao murmured.

Yang Mu immediately steeled his resolve: Fairy Tan, I'm sorry, I'm sorry to trouble you again.

...

Half an hour later, Yang Mu was hurrying towards the Holy Maiden's cave while muttering to himself: The second time it was only shortened by an hour.

Does the same person only have one chance to achieve significant results?

Where the hell am I supposed to find a second person to test this on?

Thinking of this, Yang Mu immediately exclaimed excitedly: "We can have another simulation tomorrow!"

Now I'm starting to look forward to how much time the Saintess can save for me after this simulation.

However, the most urgent task is to give that notebook to the saintess.

Of course, Yang Mu still decided to destroy half of the book, just like he did during the simulation, and store the contents of that half of the book into his mind.

As for the soul-searching spells and similar techniques mentioned by the Holy Maiden, Yang Mu was naturally not worried.

Because if the Holy Maiden truly possessed such magic, given her personality—she wouldn't take even the slightest risk—she would undoubtedly use the Soul Searching Technique on herself directly.

Then kill yourself on the spot to prevent the news from leaking out from you.

It wasn't until dawn that Yang Mu, having thoroughly memorized the contents of the second half of the book, arrived at the Saintess's cave.

After receiving permission from the Holy Maiden, Yang Mu entered her cave.

"Did you succeed?" The saintess asked impatiently, just like during the simulation.

Yang Mu asked very solemnly, "Does the Holy Maiden's previous promise still stand?"

A look of satisfaction immediately appeared on the saintess's face: "Of course!"

Yang Mu nodded, then took out the half-book of notes from his pocket.

The saintess immediately noticed that the notebook was only half full, but she didn't point it out. Instead, she began to browse through the first half of the notebook on her own.

Soon, the saintess finished reading the first half of the book.

"And the second half?" the saintess asked, her tone turning colder as she spoke, still seemingly unsatisfied.

Yang Mu naturally didn't show any weakness: "I burned the notes, but the contents are in my head."

Upon hearing this, the saintess, instead of being angry, laughed: "Hahaha..."

Smiling, the saintess slowly walked up to Yang Mu, gently stroking his left cheek with her right hand, and then slowly moving her palm to the top of his head.

Holy crap, are we not going to deviate from the script again?

Could the Holy Maiden possibly possess soul-searching magic?

"Haven't you heard of the Soul Searching Technique?" The Holy Maiden immediately pressed down slightly on Yang Mu's head and said in an icy tone.

"If the Holy Maiden intended to use her soul-searching technique, I would have been killed the moment I entered the cave!"

Yang Mu spoke, feigning composure.

"Hehe." The saintess chuckled lightly, "Don't worry, I am not one to break my word."

At this point, the saintess moved even closer to Yang Mu, almost touching his chest, and slightly raised her head: "You know how important this notebook is to me."

"What are you trying to trade me for by keeping the second half?"

Before Yang Mu could speak, the Holy Maiden said in a guiding tone, "Do you perhaps want to exchange the second half of the notebook for a night with me?"

Upon hearing this suggestion, Yang Mu's heart immediately stirred.

Given the saintess's personality, if I were to make this request myself, she would most likely agree.

However, after he hands over the contents of the second half of the book, the saintess will most likely kill him.

Alternatively, you can choose to hand over the second half of the book and use that half of the notes to devour the saintess!

However, Yang Mu quickly dismissed this idea.

The second option is a slow death; one day, when he has exhausted the saint's patience, she will not hesitate to tear him to pieces.

Nobody likes feeling forced.

Of course, Yang Mu under the influence of the Myriad Desires Incense is an exception.

Yang Mu immediately took a half step back, bowed, and said, "This subordinate is willing to die for the Holy Maiden, only to live."

"Your subordinate wishes to replace the contents of this second half of the document with a different order."

The saintess immediately put her hands behind her back, walked to the main seat, and her demeanor instantly became superior: "That was what I promised you."

"Besides this, I have no other requests!" Yang Mu said solemnly.

When Yang Mu said those words, he himself couldn't believe what he was saying.

Seeing Yang Mu's serious expression, the Holy Maiden seemed to believe him:

"In that case, you can bring me the second half of the book at any time and exchange it for a fake token."

At this point, the saintess's lips curled into a smile: "That's fine too, change it to anything you want!"

"Including me!"
