I cultivate immortality through The Sims.

You have no idea why the Holy Maiden summoned you to her cave late at night.

But you know she has leverage over you, so you have to go.

The waiting time is agonizing.

You finally waited until midnight to knock on the door of the Saintess's cave.

Only after the saintess granted you permission to enter did you nervously step into the cave.

[At this moment, the saintess's cave is like a dragon's den and a tiger's lair.]

Do you know why I chose you?

The saintess asked with a wicked smile playing on her lips.

Of course you know the saintess didn't choose you because you're handsome.

In these turbulent times, the saintess's every word and action is under scrutiny.

You guess that she has many things she wants to do but finds inconvenient to do, so she needs someone insignificant to help her.

If you succeed, you might be silenced.

The failure to complete the task didn't affect her much.

But you can only honestly answer that you don't know.

The saint asked herself, and answered herself: Because you are well-behaved.

The saint continued: "Those who are content with their lot are all wise!"

I have something I need you to do.

If you succeed, I will provide you with enough elixirs for your cultivation.

I will also bestow upon you a great fortune.

Upon seeing this, Yang Mu couldn't help but curl his lip:

If it's done, it's both a elixir and a stroke of good fortune.

It won't be done without mentioning it at all!

They just praised me for being smart, and now they're treating me like an idiot.

However, Yang Mu did not interrupt at this moment. He wanted to see what this saintess was up to.

You know this is just the saint offering you empty promises.

But you have to eat it.

[You know, the saintess has now chosen to speak to her kindly.]

However, given her status and power as a saintess, she can naturally choose other ways to speak to you.

At this moment, all you can do is immediately prostrate yourself before her.

[I am willing to die for the saint.]

The saintess sneered twice upon hearing this, clearly not believing you would die for her.

But she knew you understood what she meant.

[Then, the saint began to tell you what she wanted you to do.]

Go to the sect leader's cave and steal a notebook.

You were greatly shocked upon hearing this.

The Thousand Clouds Sect Master is a Golden Core expert.

A sneeze could potentially kill you.

Sending you to steal from the Golden Core Sect Master's cave is tantamount to sending you to your death.

The Holy Maiden saw through your concerns.

Immediately, the saintess flipped her hand, revealing a palm-sized, emerald-green bronze sword.

This is a black jade sword talisman.

The saintess explained: "As long as you inject a wisp of magic power to activate it, it can instantly kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator."

The Holy Maiden continued, "The day after tomorrow, the Sect Master will summon the inner disciples to discuss the Five Sects Alliance. That will be your opportunity."

The sect leader's cave is guarded by only one Foundation Establishment stage inner disciple. If you kill that disciple, all the treasures inside the sect leader's cave will be yours.

I only need that one notebook.

[You know the saintess didn't finish her sentence. If she only says this, you're doomed.]

As expected, the saintess continued, "I have made ample preparations for this matter; no one will suspect you."

After it's done, rumors will spread that you're one of my people.

After this is done, will I be yours?

Before this is done, could you be one of my people?

Yang Mu pondered this to himself, and then began to briefly analyze the current situation.

Being caught red-handed by the Holy Maiden for stealing elixirs is a capital offense.

Given the death penalty, the Holy Maiden is the strongest cultivator below the Golden Core stage in the Thousand Clouds Sect; she definitely cannot defeat her.

With the Five Sects Alliance meeting imminent, the Thousand Cloud Sect is only allowed to enter but not leave, so there's no way they can escape.

Ugh!

Yang Mu sighed softly and continued looking at the simulator:

You have no choice but to accept this mission.

But you are very curious about what kind of notes the Saintess values ​​so much.

The Holy Maiden saw your confusion and decided to answer it for you.

The Holy Maiden immediately asked: "You should be able to guess that the Sect Master and the Supreme Sect Master are already severely injured."

Do you know why they were traumatized?

You couldn't possibly know these secrets.

You shook your head.

[Because they joined forces to venture into a Nascent Soul realm.]

[These are also four other traps set for them.]

[The Nascent Soul stage? That's too far removed from your world, but that doesn't diminish your curiosity.]

The Holy Maiden continued, "The inner disciple who was killed was a spy from one of the other four sects."

He was the one who revealed the information about that secret realm to the two sect leaders.

However, the secret realm had not yet opened, so even though the two Golden Core sect masters went together, they returned severely injured.

The two sect leaders, possessing immense power, ultimately managed to break in.

By then, they were both severely injured, and although they were only one door away from breaking through, they were too weak to continue.

Ultimately, they chose to withdraw, recording all the traps and sights they encountered along the way in a notebook.

[Upon exiting the secret realm, they were attacked by four Golden Core experts.]

Now you finally understand why the Saintess valued that notebook so much.

She possesses an earth-elemental spiritual root; given time, achieving the Golden Core stage is within her grasp, and even the Nascent Soul stage is not out of the question.

Now you finally understand why the saintess chose you.

Because of your reputation for being well-behaved.

[You naturally know that the cave dwelling of a Golden Core expert is not something a Qi Refining stage expert like yourself can trespass upon.]

But you really have no other choice.

The Holy Maiden pressed further: "If you agree to do this, I can give you a token to activate the sect's protective array."

After the deed is done, you may choose to leave the Thousand Cloud Sect at any time.

This is indeed a reason that cannot be refused.

[I am willing to die for the saint!]

You immediately expressed your stance and accepted the sword talisman.

This sword talisman can instantly kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and the Holy Maiden is also a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

[You know, the Holy Maiden wouldn't be foolish enough to give away a sword talisman that poses a threat to her life.]

Therefore, you abandoned the idea of ​​instantly killing the saintess.

Moreover, you can't bear to kill.

After all, the Holy Maiden is the most beautiful woman in the entire sect.

[Afterwards, as you were leaving, the Holy Maiden gave you a Concealing Breath Pill.]

Sure enough, on the evening of the third day, news leaked out that all the inner disciples of the sect were discussing important matters.

[You know, this must be a message secretly released by the Holy Maiden, a reminder that you must take action.]

Because of the previous incident where an inner disciple was attacked and killed within the sect, almost no one could be seen inside the sect after nightfall.

You quickly made your way to the outside of the current sect leader's cave.

Just then, another female disciple arrived outside the sect leader's cave.

[You recognize her? This person is known as the most beautiful outer disciple; Tan Yanrao.]

As soon as Tan Yanrao arrived outside the cave, the door opened, and a person with a powerful aura walked out.

That is Guo Yufei, the inner disciple most trusted by the current sect leader, and also the third-ranked expert among the inner disciples.

[Junior Sister Tan, have you finally figured it out?]

You heard Guo Yufei ask jokingly.

Tan Yanrao lowered her head and nodded almost imperceptibly.

Guo Yufei was overjoyed and immediately hugged Tan Yanrao, starting to kiss her.

"Don't let anyone see us," Tan Yanrao said, her words a symbolic struggle.

"This is the sect leader's cave dwelling; who dares approach?" Guo Yufei thought dismissively. But he still picked up Tan Yaorao and carried her into the cave.

You can't help but marvel at Guo Yufei's audacity, daring to find a woman inside the sect leader's cave.

But now you face a choice.

[Will you go in or not?]
