Simulating Endless Possibilities: Invincible Once I Act

Chapter 132: Self-study Alchemy

[After subduing the cultivators of Spine Mountain, you did not retract the Mortal Domain.]

[Instead, you had them take action and slay the Phoenix that could only hop in place.]

[The Demonic Phoenix's flesh and blood were all stored in your storage ring.]

[After everything was done, you were taken by someone and flew towards the depths of the Valley of Flames.]

[That's right, you still did not retract the Mortal Domain, as you couldn't fly by yourself.]

[As for the reason? For safety!]

[After all, you weren't sure if there were other dangers in the Valley of Flames.]

[Although in a previous simulation, you had once left the Southern Regions from here, you were not actually familiar with the Valley of Flames.]

[That time, due to the Calamity Physique, everything changed, and it couldn't be taken as a standard.]

[This way, even if there were dangers, anyone who attacked you would become a mortal.]

[As long as you kept the Mortal Domain active, unless a Great Principal Golden Immortal made a move, you would remain undefeated.]

[Now, with the raging flames gone and the Demonic Phoenix no longer blocking your way,]

[It took only a few days for you to find a crack in the formation.]

[Without hesitation, everyone passed through the crack and left the Southern Regions.]

[Soon, you all arrived outside the Southern Regions.]

[But among these people, your father, Jiang Fushan, was missing.]

[You had some guesses about this and were not too surprised.]

[It only made you more curious about the secrets your father was hiding.]

[But now, you knew it wasn't the time to dwell on these matters.]

[However, due to the disappearance of your father, Jiang Fushan, the mortals from the Jiang Family you brought along were somewhat panicked, as if they had lost their backbone.]

[But, under your kind lies, you quickly calmed everyone down.]

[At this moment, Old Li and a few people from Spine Mountain suddenly attacked you.]

[However, as soon as they made their move, their cultivation instantly turned into that of mortals.]

[Seeing this, you merely smiled slightly and said to Little Peach, "Kill them!"]

[Soon, Old Li and the others were killed on the spot.]

[You could guess the reason for their attack.]

[After all, you had been in a mortal state from the beginning.]

[They had also taken the pills you gave them, thinking their lives were in your hands.]

[So killing you was definitely the best choice.]

[Others might not dare, but who was Old Li?]

[He had guarded the local cultivators in the Southern Regions for so many years, surely he had some guts.]

[He could endure before because he hadn't left the Southern Regions.]

[He couldn't be sure if killing you would make the Valley of Flames return to its original state.]

[But now, having confirmed that they had left the Southern Regions, with no other threats,]

[In their eyes, you, the one controlling their lives and deaths, naturally became the first target to kill.]

[But, as the saying goes, "The Dao is one foot tall, the devil is ten feet tall."]

[They didn't expect your Mortal Domain to have passive abilities.]

[They also didn't know that you kept the Mortal Domain active partly to fish for lawbreakers.]

[After all, you needed people who were absolutely obedient.]

[After Old Li and the others died, you thought for a moment and deactivated the Mortal Domain, regaining your cultivation.]

[Although the Mortal Domain could make you safer, it also limited your development.]

[After all, you still needed to cultivate and improve.]

[After that, you found a base in the Great Wilderness and settled down.]

[By this time, it had been four years since you entered the simulation!]

[In that year, you ordered everyone to focus on cultivation and forbade them from going out.]

[The mortals from the Jiang Family were also taught some basic combat techniques by Little Peach.]

[In the fifth year, you recalled your knowledge from your previous life and attempted to make guns.]

[But you failed, not because you couldn't make them, but because some rules seemed to be blocking you.]

[However, there was good news; you successfully made crude explosives.]

[But the space and soil here seemed more solid, making the explosives' power too weak.]

[The explosive packs you made could only injure enemies if they hit them directly and exploded on their bodies; otherwise, the blast's impact was too weak to harm them.]

[Still, it was a potential path.]

[You ordered Little Peach to lead the mortals in mass-producing explosive packs using the formula you devised.]

[In the sixth year, you found a pile of alchemy books and pill recipes from the cultivators of Spine Mountain.]

[That's right, you decided to start learning Pill Dao.]

[After all, you felt that relying on the pills to scare the cultivators of Spine Mountain wasn't a long-term solution.]

[You needed to develop real pills to control people.]

[With a large number of Pill Dao manuals in hand, you fell into deep thought.]

[You wondered if you should call your outside self to come in for deep simulation.]

[In the end, you shook your head.]

[You felt that although deep simulation was good, it consumed a lot of origin values.]

[Currently, you didn't have many origin values left, and unless it was urgent, it wasn't necessary!]

In reality, Jiang Yifeng nodded in satisfaction after reading this.

Indeed, he didn't want to do deep simulation right now.

Firstly, deep simulation was too mentally exhausting.

Secondly, the simulator was about to upgrade, so he needed to save more origin values.

Even if it meant wasting some simulation attempts.

After all, only half a year had passed in reality.

He wasn't in a hurry; even the appearance of the Immortal Dao inheritance was still over a decade away.

He had plenty of simulation opportunities.

[In the seventh year, after a year of self-study, you miraculously reached the level of a second-grade alchemist.]

[This made you realize the power of the Pill Dao Saint Hand.]

[In the eighth year, while refining pills, you triggered your talent for random enlightenment, increasing your cultivation speed tenfold and making your thoughts more active.]

[This enlightenment lasted only half a month.]

[But it elevated you from a second-grade alchemist to a third-grade alchemist.]

[At this point, you could already refine poison pills to control Foundation Establishment cultivators.]

[But that wasn't enough, so you continued to cultivate Pill Dao.]

[By the tenth year, you had become a fifth-grade alchemist.]

[That year, you came out of seclusion with a large number of pills.]

[You made all the cultivators below the Spirit Transformation Realm in Spine Mountain take these pills.]

[That's right, these were real poison pills, and after taking them, these cultivators' lives were truly in your hands.]

[This was the highest level of poison pills you could refine at the moment.]

[In fact, you could have continued your seclusion.]

[But over the years, the cultivators of Spine Mountain hadn't had a single poison outbreak, and many had noticed something was wrong.]

[Some even secretly fled.]

[So, you had to come out of seclusion early.]

[First, you needed to truly control these low-level cultivators.]

[As for the high-level ones?]

[If they ran, they ran!]

[After all, you needed numbers.]

[And these low-level cultivators were clearly the majority!]
