Chapter 36 – Bell sound
"The Cursed Land must have some secret. That kid Song Fan is probably trying to fool me..."
Chen Shi murmured to himself.
He clearly remembered that in the second simulation, four years later, Song Fan personally went to that eerie mountain. Given the growth speed of the Child of Fortune, he would be at least at the True Lake Stage by then, and he didn't die on the spot.
Of course, it could also be that Song Fan had some means to isolate the Death Qi of the Cursed Land.
But no matter what, the Death Qi of the Cursed Land is definitely not simple.
You have to know, at that time, he had no cultivation resources, yet he advanced three levels in four years with only one Qi Absorption Method... Wait a minute! Qi Absorption Method?
A bolt of lightning flashed through Chen Shi's mind.
A bold guess rose in his heart.
The essence of the Qi Absorption Method is to inhale and exhale spiritual energy to temper oneself. The reason it has declined is that the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi has dwindled, and there isn't enough spiritual energy in the air for cultivators to use for body tempering. But in the Cursed Land, he made rapid progress with the Qi Absorption Method...
In this situation, either his physique is special, or the so-called Death Qi might be some kind of mutated... spiritual energy?
Coincidentally, at this moment, the simulated version of himself also realized this issue.
Then he questioned Song Fan about it.
[Upon learning that your friend was cultivating in the Cursed Land using the Qi Absorption Method, Song Fan fell silent for a minute.]
[Then, he showed a look of realization, stating that the Death Qi in the Cursed Land indeed has a good body-tempering effect for cultivators below the fifth stage. However, no one dares to do so because, apart from causing aging, the biggest problem with Death Qi is that once it's inhaled, the cultivator can never break through to the Spirit River Stage. As soon as the Spirit River is opened, the residual Death Qi in the body will instantly turn into a deadly poison, causing immediate death...]
Seeing this, Chen Shi was dumbfounded.
Then he's doomed.
In the simulation, he had cultivated in the Cursed Land for four whole years. After inheriting that cultivation, does that part of the Death Qi also...
[Hint: The cultivation inherited by the host has no side effects; this system will automatically purify it.]
Chen Shi breathed a sigh of relief.
But then, his mind started to become active again. If the system can filter out the side effects, then can he hide in the Cursed Land to cultivate the Five Gates of Heaven and temper the legendary Jade Bones?
First of all, the "spiritual energy" in that place is abundant.
The aging attribute might even, to some extent, accelerate the cultivation speed of the Five Gates of Heaven...
Secondly, that place is a forbidden zone for cultivators above the fourth stage, but not for those below. If he hides inside, no matter how powerful the person behind the scenes is, they wouldn't send cultivators above the fourth stage to die in vain, right?
With his Heaven and Earth Sword Slash, he wouldn't fear any cultivator below the fifth stage.
He could take them down one by one.
Unless the opponent is crazy enough to send several Golden Bone Prodigies to besiege him.
But that's obviously impossible.

Because if the person behind the scenes had that kind of power, they would have forced the Song family to hand him over in the simulation long ago.
[On November 25th, after seven days and nights of flying, the flying boat arrived at the Spirit Sword Sect's mountain gate. With the strength of two-tenths Sword Intent, you successfully entered the Sword Sect and took an Innate Elder as your master.]
[You are stuck at the Bronze Bones and can't advance further. You want to open up the Spirit River, but hesitate due to the Death Qi.]
[On December 25th, after a month of hesitation, you decide to advance to the Spirit River Stage because it's something you have to face sooner or later. If you don't break through, under the targeting of the person behind the scenes, it will be very difficult for you to survive in the future.]
[Due to the extreme danger of this breakthrough, which could easily lead to death, you decide to indulge yourself one last time. That night, you and Lin Qiushui engaged in an indescribable act.]
[You discovered she indeed prefers a more violent man.]
[On January 25th of the following year, you successfully opened a Spirit River and stepped into the Spirit River Stage, which relieved you. You vowed to cultivate diligently to gain more power for self-preservation in future crises.]
[On January 26th, you and Lin Qiushui discussed archery and horsemanship.]
[On January 27th, ...discussed archery and horsemanship.]
[On February 1st, ...discussed archery and horsemanship. Song Fan asked why you were so happy...]
[On February 15th, discussed archery and horsemanship... You regretted it deeply and secretly warned yourself to start cultivating diligently from tomorrow, lest you become a victim of the person behind the scenes.]
[On February 16th, discussed archery and horsemanship.]
[On February 17th, discussed archery and horsemanship. You noticed Lin Qiushui emitted a faint glow... Qiushui with divine jade as bones, you discovered she might have tempered the legendary Jade Bones...]
[On February 18th, discussed archery and horsemanship. Today, the ancient bell on the main peak of the Spirit Sect rang all day, causing quite a stir. It's said that several Heaven-Human Ancestors of the Spirit Sword Sect have come out of seclusion.]
