I cultivate immortality through The Sims.

Soon, the intense, exciting, and fulfilling battle for the Holy Son began.

About a month later, Yang Mu learned why the Myriad Flowers Sect provided them with female disciples in the Foundation Establishment stage instead of female disciples in the Qi Refining stage.

Female disciples in the Foundation Establishment stage have stronger physical attributes and greater recovery abilities.

If it were a female disciple in the Qi Refining stage, she probably wouldn't be able to withstand it for more than a week.

The only regret is the shortened time.

When partnering with a Foundation Establishment stage female disciple for the first time, it can shorten the time by an hour.

Later on, the time reduction was fixed at one minute.

My God!

I work diligently and tirelessly every day, unafraid of dangerous peaks or turbulent currents. What am I doing this for?

It's all about shortening the time.

Alas, fate is cruel!

However, from his experience with his Foundation Establishment stage partner, Yang Mu has identified another factor that contributes to shortening the time:

The other party's experience.

The Holy Maiden Shen Jingshu shortened her lifespan by a year the first time she experienced it.

Tan Yanrao, the first time, shortened it to one day.

So, the reduction in time can be influenced by three factors: the other person's appearance, level of understanding, and experience.

As for appearance, Yang Mu is still unsure of the extent to which it will have an impact.

You can't exactly say, "To verify this, we need to find a Ru Hua (a character from a Chinese folktale)," can you?

Anyway, Yang Mu couldn't do it.

...

Yang Mu held the script from the second simulation, so he wasn't worried at all about the competition for the Holy Son.

Over the past six months, the Myriad Flowers Sect has provided Yang Mu and his group of seventeen with a sufficient and fixed amount of pills for their cultivation.

But they didn't let them rely entirely on elixirs.

Yang Mu naturally knew how difficult it would be for them to advance from the ninth to the tenth level of Qi Refining if they relied solely on their own cultivation.

Even with the help of an absurdly powerful technique like the "Yin Yang Harmony Technique".

Breaking through from the late stage of Qi Refining to the peak of Qi Refining is not something that can be done overnight.

However, to be on the safe side, half a year after Yang Mu joined the sect, which was the year before the Holy Covenant as Zhang Erdan mentioned, Yang Mu chose to demonstrate his Qi Refining Level 10 cultivation.

Halfway through, Yang Mu deliberately stopped, then immediately sat cross-legged, looking as if he had suddenly realized something.

As time passed, Yang Mu's aura grew stronger and stronger.

About an incense stick later, Yang Mu's aura stabilized at the tenth level of Qi Refining.

"You broke through?" The Foundation Establishment stage partner asked, surprised and excited.

"I have to thank you, Fairy!" Yang Mu said, adopting a very humble attitude.

Over this period of time, Yang Mu had realized that his Foundation Establishment partner was also at the first level of Foundation Establishment, just like him.

In the past six months, not only did his partner break through to the second level of Foundation Establishment, but Yang Mu himself also broke through to the second level of Foundation Establishment.

Upon hearing this, the Foundation Establishment stage partner blushed immediately, then said with some regret, "You've broken through to the tenth level of Qi Refining first, making you the Holy Son of our Myriad Flowers Sect."

"From now on, we won't be partners anymore!"

Yang Mu immediately curled his lips into a smile, thinking to himself: After these past six months, she must have been persuaded by me.

"There's no need for that, Fairy!" Yang Mu said sincerely, "I owe my success today entirely to your partnership."

"I will never forget the fairy's help!"

"If you need anything, just call me anytime!"

A wise person helps others achieve good, not evil.

Moreover, this is a win-win situation.

Upon hearing this, the Foundation Establishment stage partner's face immediately lit up with joy.

After quickly getting dressed, she left the room to report to Elder Chuan Gong.

Before long, the Elder of Transmission arrived with his partner.

After confirming Yang Mu's Qi Refining Level 10, the Transmission Elder immediately announced, "From today onwards, you are the Holy Son of my Myriad Flowers Sect!"

"Thank you, Elder! Thank you, Fairy!" Yang Mu bowed to the Transmission Elder and his Foundation Establishment stage partner.

Zhang Lai nodded as he passed on his skills, then took out a pill and handed it to his partner.

Then he said to Yang Mu, "Now that the title of Holy Son has been decided, you may come with me."

Yang Mu naturally knew the procedures to follow, but he still kept a humble attitude: "Yes!"

As he passed his Foundation Establishment stage partner, Yang Mu winked and nodded at her:

Just call me if you need anything!

Afterwards, the Transmission Elder led Yang Mu to a deeper area within the sect.

The spiritual energy in this place is even stronger.

"From today onwards, you will cultivate here!" the elder said, pacing around the room.

"Starting tomorrow, you will have a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator as your partner every day."

"You must reach the completion of the Qi Refining stage within six months."

Yang Mu didn't answer, he just stared blankly, looking like a complete idiot who knew nothing.

The Transmission Elder glanced at Yang Mu before saying, "Six months from now, it will be the Holy Covenant of my Myriad Flowers Sect."

"What is the Holy Covenant?" Yang Mu asked knowingly.

"It's the rendezvous of the Holy Son and Holy Daughter of the Myriad Flowers Sect!" The Transmission Elder casually sat down on a stool and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Our Holy Maiden of the Myriad Flowers Sect possesses an Earth Spiritual Root and has reached the Perfection of Qi Refining."

"And, the saintess is still a virgin!"

"The Holy Covenant is for the purpose of enabling both the Holy Son and the Holy Daughter to establish their foundations."

The Myriad Flowers Sect even has a saintess with an earth spirit root.

It's really laughable: the Holy Maiden of the Myriad Flowers Sect has a top-grade spiritual root, the Earth Spiritual Root.

The Holy Son of the Myriad Flowers Sect, however, possessed a useless five-elemental root.

If I hadn't known what would happen next, I would have truly marveled at my good fortune and extraordinary opportunities!

"Okay, I understand! I will try my best!" Yang Mu immediately said, feigning enthusiasm.

For a moment, Elder Chuan Gong didn't speak, but simply picked up the cup of tea and took a sip.

Yang Mu was somewhat confused about what the Transmission Elder meant.

Could it be that she's trying to extort a bribe from me?

After telling me so much, shouldn't I give her spirit stones as compensation?

But I gave all my spirit stones to Tan Yanrao!

What should we do?

Oh, I still have a Foundation Establishment Pill!

While Yang Mu was still hesitating whether to bribe the Transmission Elder with the Foundation Establishment Pill, the Transmission Elder spoke up:

"I noticed Jiang Yitong seemed reluctant to part with you just now!"

Yang Mu was stunned: What does that mean?

I am the Holy Son, I possess profound skills and formidable combat power, and I do not allow anyone to be reluctant to part with me?

"Um, well, maybe, um, Fairy Jiang and I developed feelings for each other over time!" Yang Mu said, carefully choosing his words.

This is not the scenario from the simulation.

Although we had experience from the second simulation, this didn't happen during the previous simulation.

Yang Mu was worried that if anything went wrong here and affected his opportunity, he would suffer a huge loss.

And this is reality, not a simulation!

Upon hearing this, the Elder of Transmission burst into laughter: "Well said, 'Familiarity breeds fondness!'"

Yang Mu was even more confused about the meaning of this elder who was passing on his skills.

"Um, Elder, I have some here..." Yang Mu couldn't care less about anything else at the moment.

Although the Foundation Establishment Pill is completely useless to the Transmission Elder.

However, the efficacy and value of the Foundation Building Pill remain.

Presumably, this will make up for some of the losses.

Little did they know, Yang Mu hadn't finished speaking.

The elder who was transmitting skills then stood up from the stool.

She walked slowly toward Yang Mu, her eyes filled with a strong sense of aggression, staring directly into Yang Mu's eyes.

This made Yang Mu feel incredibly uneasy.

I am a remnant of the Thousand Clouds Sect.

He ran away to the Myriad Flowers Sect to become a holy son.

Has this secret been discovered?

There's no reason for it!

If he were discovered, the elder shouldn't have brought him here; he should have taken him to the dungeon!

As the elder slowly approached, Yang Mu subconsciously stepped back, unsure of what to say.

"Thump!" Yang Mu crashed into the wall, with nowhere to retreat.

"You're afraid of me?" the Transmission Elder chuckled. "Are you afraid I'll eat you?"

Yang Mu subconsciously shook his head, feeling guilty and even more afraid to look the elder in the eye.

"I can tell you're afraid I'll eat you up!" The Transmission Elder said with a light laugh, while pinching Yang Mu's chin, making Yang Mu look directly at her face.

Being so close, it must be said that Elder Chuan Gong is quite attractive.

Most importantly, the mature aura that the Transmission Elder exudes from within is unmatched by others.

"I can only say, you're right to be afraid!" The Transmission Elder chuckled. "I really am going to devour you!"
