Chapter 96: Simulation, Preparing to Attack the Divine Sword Manor

Translator: Atlas Studios       Editor: Atlas Studios

Han Zhao walked into the hall of the Myriad Treasure Pavilion and was quickly invited to the private room on the fourth floor that was specially used to entertain VIPs.

“Brother Ding, you made me wait so long!”

Fang Ling walked into the private room with a smile.

“Brother Fang, I didn’t expect this trip to take so long.” Han Zhao cupped his fists.

“Brother Ding, the 3,000 taels of silver banknotes obtained from this auction have been exchanged for gold according to your requirements.”

Fang Ling clapped his hands.

A maid walked into the private room with 30 gold ingots weighing 10 taels on a tray.

“Brother Fang, according to the rules, you have to take a commission from the auction, right? Moreover, the exchange ratio between silver and gold seems to

be… ”

Han Zhao raised his eyebrows.

“Sigh… Brother Ding, you’re being too polite. We’re friends. This little money is nothing.” Fang Ling waved his hand.

“Brother Fang, if you need any help, feel free to tell me.”

Han Zhao smiled.

“Brother Ding is indeed straightforward and straightforward!” Fang Ling gave him a thumbs up and said seriously, “As a member of the aristocratic family, Brother Ding should know about Anomaly, right?”

“Of course.” Han Zhao nodded. He already knew what Fang Ling was going to say, but this was much earlier than in the simulation.

“Actually, three descendants of aristocratic families entrusted us to find some good people for them to enter the Anomaly together. They seem to be looking for something. Do you think you can…” Fang Ling explained.

“I’ll definitely help Brother Fang, but I’m still a distance away from grasping Internal Force. With my current strength, my life will probably be in danger if I enter the Anomaly.”

“Of course. Of course, I won’t let Brother Ding take the risk. Besides, the client needs nearly a year to prepare. They’re not in a hurry to set off now.”

“How about this? I have a friend called Song Que. Brother Fang should have heard about it recently.”

“Song Que?!”

Fang Ling was shocked and nodded.

“I can let him handle this. Although Song Que has just grasped Internal Force, he’s proficient in saber techniques and has also cultivated the Cold Yin Internal Force. If he goes to the Anomaly, his strength won’t be greatly weakened. He’s considered a suitable candidate,” Han Zhao explained.

One year of preparation time was originally not enough for him to simulate it twice.

However, this time, the divine weapon had recovered some of its strength, so according to the agreement, he could absorb some Yin energy.

Coupled with the Yin energy provided by the Essence Soul Bead, two simulations would definitely be enough.

If he went to Jiayuan City to uphold justice again, perhaps the Yin energy

would be enough for three simulations.

If the three simulations showed that the Anomaly of the Divine Sword Manor couldn’t be dealt with, he could only go back on his word.

In any case, what did Song Que and Ding Xiu’s broken promises have to do with him, Han Zhao?

“Cold Yin Internal Force? Brother Ding is really a big help.” Fang Ling looked happy. He had only mentioned it. He did not expect Ding Xiu to have an expert recommend him.

To martial artists, the Cold Yin Internal Force was one of the rarest Internal Forces because it was especially difficult to cultivate and harmed the body.

“Brother Fang, I’ll help you find him, but whether your reward can move him is not something I should think about,” Han Zhao added.

“Of course,” Fang Ling replied.

“In that case, I’ll take my leave first.” Han Zhao stood up and put the gold into the money bag.

“Brother Ding, I’ll send you off.”

Fang Ling sent him out the door.

Fang Ling frowned slightly as he watched Ding Xiu leave.

“Is this Song Que Ding Xiu in disguise? Or is he Ding Xiu’s guard?”

Recently, Song Que’s matter caused an uproar. Even the Wei family’s Martial Master had taken action, but he had returned in a sorry state.

“Why should I care so much? As long as we confirm that Ding Xiu is from an aristocratic family, everything else has nothing to do with me.”

Fang Ling shook his head and laughed. When he returned to the Myriad Treasure Pavilion, he still had to inform the client.

A Force Tempering Martial Master from the Fang family would also go with him on this trip. That person was his cousin, Fang Zheng. He also cultivated the Yin Internal Force. If he could absorb Yin energy from the Anomaly, there was a high chance that he could enter the Greater Mastery stage of Force Tempering.

Fang Zheng was five years younger than him and had a chance to break through to the Visceral Tempering Grandmaster Realm. This was the key to the Fang family’s rise.

“System, charge.”

[Current Balance: 320 taels of gold]

As soon as Han Zhao walked out of the door of Jade Wind City, he charged 300 taels of gold into the system.

This month of missions had earned him hundreds of taels of silver.

The three mountain strongholds had earned him a little 8,000 taels of silver. In addition to the 5,200 taels of silver he had obtained from the descendants of the aristocratic families, he now had more than 14,000 taels of silver.

[Collected 55 Notification Fragments. Do you want to synthesize the Trait?] [Each synthesis will consume 45 Notification Fragments and 60 taels of gold…]

Looking at the remaining number of Notification Fragments, Han Zhao decided to simulate it first.

Since there was still a year left, he could add some points to the Vajra Technique to increase his aptitude and speed up the cultivation of many cultivation methods.

He had yet to cultivate the Red Dragon True Technique that he had just obtained.

The more cultivation techniques he used to grasp Internal Force at the same time, the stronger the Internal Force he would obtain when breaking through.

However, the more he practiced, the slower his cultivation progress would be.

The total blood qi of a Blood Tempering Realm martial artist was usually 4-5 to 7-5 times that of a Skin Tempering Realm martial artist. After this, even if there was an additional 0.1, it would be a huge breakthrough.

This was the information he had obtained from Lu Yi.

This was because human martial artists had a racial upper limit.

He was already close to 10. His total blood qi had already exceeded the limit of an ordinary human martial artist.

This was also the reason why he could fight above his level.

“No matter what, I’ll train first. If I can successfully defeat the Anomaly of the

Divine Sword Manor, I can obtain a large amount of Yin energy.” After thinking it through, Han Zhao muttered in his heart,

“Synthesize. Beginning simulation.”

20 years old. Your Mountain Splitting Saber Technique was perfected and you broke through to the third Blood Qi Breakthrough realm. You agreed to Fang Ling’s request and decided to use Song Que’s identity to head to the Divine Sword Manor.]

[At the end of the year, Xu Ling broke through to the second Blood Qi Breakthrough. You completed the third Blood Qi Breakthrough and cultivated the Mountain Shaking Fist and Yin Fiend Palm to the Third Level.]

[You used the Essence Soul Bead and the Yin energy in the divine weapon to strengthen the Yin Fiend Force.]

21 years old. Your Wind Riding Leg was cultivated to the Perfected Third Level.

Through cultivating with Xu Ling, you successfully grasped Internal Force.]

[Then, with the support of Xu Ling’s resources, you used half a year to cultivate the Mountain Shaking Fist, Yin Fiend Palm, and Wind Riding Leg to the Fourth Level. You have reached the Small Mastery stage of the Three Essence Force and the three essence circulate endlessly.]

[After that, you went to Jade Wind City as Song Que and met Fang Ling.]

[Ten days later, the three sisters of the Lian family appeared. Soon, two Force Tempering Martial Masters and three one-vein descendants of aristocratic families appeared.]

[You explored the Divine Sword Manor at night together and encountered

Fiendish Corpses. Then, you encountered Corpse Puppets that were

comparable to Force Tempering Martial Masters. In the end, the demon appeared.]

[Two Force Tempering Martial Masters and three one-vein descendants of aristocratic families were killed.]

[You relied on the Small Mastery Three Essence Force to deal with the demon.

The three Lian sisters activated their divine weapons to assist you.]

[After a huge battle, your Internal Force circulated continuously, but your stamina gradually decreased.]

[The two sisters, Lian Chengyu and Lian Chengxue, sacrificed their lives for the

Blood Sacrifice divine weapon. Two arrows left their bodies and sent you and Lian Chengbing out of the Anomaly.]

[Not long after you escaped from the Anomaly, you were caught by the demon. Lian Chengbing suffered a backlash from the divine weapon and was seriously injured and fainted.]

[You fought with the demons from midnight to sunrise. In the last strike, you severely injured the demon, but your true qi was also exhausted and you died from exhaustion..]
