18 – Young Swordsman Bai Tianhong

Ding, talent refreshed successfully. Congratulations to the host for successfully refreshing and obtaining two white talents: Business Genius and Exceptional Root Bone.

White Talent – Business Genius: Possessing this talent will enhance your business acumen.

White Talent – Exceptional Root Bone: Possessing this talent will improve the host’s cultivation aptitude to a level stronger than ordinary people.

The system’s voice rang out again, causing Wang Ping’s eyes to brighten slightly.

“System, I choose the White Talent – Exceptional Root Bone.”

Wang Ping said in his heart.

In the simulation, his talent had improved by taking the Primordial Grass, which solidified his foundation and enhanced his aptitude, allowing him to practice martial arts.

However, his previous aptitude was too poor, and his start was too late. Even with the Primordial Grass, his talent couldn’t compare to Chi Feng and the other children.

In the simulation, it took him seven and a half years to reach the peak of the Skin Refining Realm.

Therefore, Wang Ping particularly valued the talent to improve his root bone aptitude.

Ding, talent selection success. Life simulation begins.

The system’s voice sounded.

Immediately after, the light blue virtual screen reappeared in front of Wang Ping, and text began to appear on it.

【On March 10, 480 of the Great Xia Calendar, you had a big meal at night and told Chi Feng the story of Dou Po.】

【On March 11, the Village Chief led people to successfully kill two Gale Leopards and harvested the Primordial Grass. After returning, the Village Chief held a grand feast to celebrate and gave you one Primordial Grass.】

【At the same time, the Village Chief discovered that your cultivation had reached the peak of the Skin Refining Realm, and was very surprised, knowing that you had a big secret. You didn’t know how to explain this.】

【However, the Village Chief did not make things difficult for you, only saying that everyone has their little secrets, but hoped that you would remember not to let others discover your sudden increase in cultivation in the future.】

【You said you would remember the Village Chief’s teaching. At the same time, you were very fortunate that the people of Chi Village were really good-natured; otherwise, you would be in real danger.】

【On August 5, you successfully broke through to the early stage of the Bone Refining Realm, causing Chi Feng to feel a sense of urgency and practice even harder. After some thought, you revealed the matter of Li Huai. The Village Chief was greatly shocked, eventually trusted you, and decided to move the entire village.】

【On August 7, the people of Chi Village left Black Wind Forest, and you were forced to leave the group and stay in Black Wind Town.】

【Next, you survived in Black Wind Town cautiously, opened a breakfast shop selling buns as a cover.】

【On March 5, 481 of the Great Xia Calendar, you successfully broke through to the mid-stage of the Bone Refining Realm.】

【On December 7, 481 of the Great Xia Calendar, you successfully broke through to the late stage of the Bone Refining Realm.】

【On October 8, 482 of the Great Xia Calendar, you successfully broke through to the peak of the Bone Refining Realm.】

【On May 5, 484 of the Great Xia Calendar, you successfully broke through to the early stage of the Meridian Opening Realm. At this point, you were considered a small expert in Black Wind Town, which put you at ease a bit.】

【On July 1, 487 of the Great Xia Calendar, you successfully broke through to the early stage of the Organ Refining Realm, and were very happy. To reward yourself, you went to a restaurant to eat and drink. Along the way, you overheard mercenaries excitedly discussing something, and after eavesdropping, you understood the cause and effect.】

【It turned out that someone had found traces of a seventh-tier demonic beast, the Silver Moon Wolf, deep in Black Wind Forest. This pregnant Silver Moon Wolf King was about to give birth. If someone could obtain the Silver Moon Wolf cub, they would rise to the top overnight.】

【After hearing the mercenaries’ conversation, you were very shocked and understood why a beast tide suddenly broke out on August 1, 487 of the Great Xia Calendar. It must be because a strong person went deep into Black Wind Forest and stole the Silver Moon Wolf’s cub, making it furious.】

After hastily finishing your food, you went home, packed your things, and planned to flee Black Wind Town, the farther the better. Otherwise, you would surely be eaten by demonic beasts.

“So that’s what happened…”

Looking at the text on the screen, Wang Ping suddenly realized.

He wondered why Black Wind Forest suddenly had a terrifying beast tide; it turned out a seventh-tier demonic beast’s cub had been stolen.

A sixth-tier demonic beast was already equivalent to a human at the seventh level of the Innate Realm.

A seventh-tier demonic beast was equivalent to the Spirit Origin Realm above the Innate Realm, unimaginable how terrifying it would be.

“However, the progress of my cultivation in this simulation is quite great. After seven years, my cultivation reached the Organ Refining Realm. It seems that the white talent of Exceptional Root Bone is quite good, at least better than ordinary people.”

Thinking about his cultivation progress, Wang Ping couldn’t help but laugh.

Then, Wang Ping focused intently on the screen again.

As Wang Ping stared, the text on the screen continued to appear. The simulator was very user-friendly.

【You took your things and fled Black Wind Town. This time, you were very careful, and with your Organ Refining Realm cultivation, you finally weren’t caught and killed by mountain bandits.】

【On July 10, 487 of the Great Xia Calendar, you fled to Bai Mu Village, two thousand miles away from Black Wind Town. You found that Bai Mu Village had only two thousand people, with two major families, the Ye family and Zhao family. The strongest people in these families were only in the Organ Refining Realm, which reassured you a lot. You thought that with your current cultivation, even if the Ye and Zhao families attacked you, you could still escape easily.】

【However, because you have read too many online novels, you were very wary of the Ye family. After all, the Ye surname is commonly used for main characters, and you didn’t want to provoke them.】

【In the following days, you didn’t reveal your cultivation, bought a bun shop in Bai Mu Village, and continued selling buns, hiding your strength and quietly cultivating. Because your buns were delicious, Ye Xiao Rou, the young lady of the Ye family, often came to your shop to buy buns, and you gradually became acquainted.】
【August 7th, Year 487 of the Great Xia Calendar, you learned from Ye Xiaorou about the beast tide in Black Wind Forest. On August 1st, a beast tide erupted in Black Wind Forest, affecting numerous nearby villages and towns, resulting in over hundreds of thousands of casualties. Eventually, the beast tide, led by the Silver Moon Wolf, attacked Qingfeng City.】

【The warriors of Qingfeng City defended the city to the death, but ultimately, they were no match for the beast tide, and the city was nearly breached. Millions would have fallen prey to the beasts. At this critical moment, a young swordsman appeared, slaying the Silver Moon Wolf and repelling the beast tide with absolute dominance.】

【You were astonished upon hearing the news. A young swordsman capable of slaying a seventh-level beast like the Silver Moon Wolf…truly incredible. Driven by curiosity, you asked more about the young swordsman. Ye Xiaorou, who greatly admired the young swordsman, told you about him.】

【As it turns out, he is Bai Tianhong, a rare sword prodigy said to appear once in a century in the Great Xia. At just twenty-five years old, his cultivation had reached the half-step Spirit Origin Realm, and he had comprehended the legendary Sword Intent. This allowed him to kill the postpartum-weakened Silver Moon Wolf at the cost of grave injuries.】

【After hearing Bai Tianhong’s story, you couldn’t help but lament the huge disparity between people. Ye Xiaorou fully agreed. She, now eighteen, was only at the Bone Quenching Realm and at most could reach the Acquired Realm in the future, whereas Bai Tianhong was already a peerless expert at twenty-five.】
