Chapter 97: The big tiger delivers medicine, a change is about to happen

[Year 100, your vital essence was depleted, but Xia Zhishan used heavenly treasures to almost completely restore it.]

[However, the damage to your soul is still recovering slowly, causing your cultivation to be stuck at the peak of Spirit Transformation, unable to advance to a higher level.]

[Nevertheless, you are no longer overly worried. After all, the replenishment of your vital essence has almost restored your lifespan.]

[As long as your lifespan is sufficient, you believe that one day, your soul power will fully recover.]

[Besides, you now know that this place is far from the Immortal Realm, so there's no need to panic.]

[In the same year, Liang Dahu and Ye Xiaoqing came to visit you together.]

[By this time, they had already expressed their feelings for each other and were now a couple.]

[In fact, shortly after you arrived at the Cangyun Sect, Dahu and Xiaoqing already knew about you, but at that time, they were only Inner Sect Disciples and couldn't enter the elders' residence.]

[But now it's different. After years of cultivation, they have become personal disciples of the Cangyun Sect.]

[They now have the authority to visit the elders' residence.]

[When Dahu saw you, he knelt down immediately to express his gratitude.]

[He said that not only did you teach him the Dao, but you also gave him the courage to confess to his beloved.]

[He solemnly swore that even though you were unwilling to take him as a disciple, he would always consider himself your student.]

[Having lived with Dahu for a long time, you know he's as stubborn as a mule and can only nod helplessly.]

[After a brief reunion, Dahu and Xiaoqing bid you farewell.]

[You returned to your peaceful recuperation.]

[Hmm? Very peaceful, except for occasionally keeping company with the three-thousand-year-old fairy sister, Xia Zhishan.]

[In the blink of an eye, decades passed.]

[Year 180, Dahu, covered in blood, ran to you with a smile and handed you a Soul Condensing Flower.]

[Soul Condensing Flower is a rare treasure that can repair the soul, something one can only come across by chance.]

[You looked at the Soul Condensing Flower in your hand and then at Dahu's miserable appearance. You sighed and told him not to do this again, saying your injuries were not serious.]

[You didn't know how Dahu found out you needed heavenly treasures to repair your soul, but you knew that even Xia Zhishan, at the ninth level of Tribulation Crossing, didn't have such a treasure.]

[You couldn't imagine how difficult it must have been for Liang Dahu, who was only at the True Core Realm, to find and obtain it.]

[After all, you are different from Dahu. You know you are in a simulation. If you risk your life to cultivate and actually lose it, it would reduce the simulation time and improve less.]

[If not necessary, stable cultivation is actually the most cost-effective.]

[Year 830, you laughed heartily as your injuries finally fully healed.]

[You had finally regained your full strength.]

[Your Immortal Dao cultivation was now at the third level of the Great Ascension stage, and your Martial Dao had reached the first level of the Transcendent Realm.]

[In the same year, Dahu and Ye Xiaoqing came to celebrate with you.]

[Although their strength had already surpassed yours, they were still very respectful to you.]

[After a brief reunion, you devoted yourself entirely to cultivation.]

[Year 835, your Immortal Dao cultivation broke through to the fourth level of the Great Ascension stage.]

[Even with the tenfold cultivation speed buff from being a late bloomer, it still took you four to five years to break through a small realm.]

[You understood the reason well: the higher the realm, the slower the cultivation. This is common knowledge among cultivators.]

[Of course, your cultivation speed was already quite fast compared to ordinary people.]

[But compared to top geniuses like your father, there was still a considerable gap.]

[Nonetheless, you were satisfied with yourself.]

[Year 840, you noticed that Xia Zhishan often looked worried.]

[You asked her what was wrong, but she didn't say anything.]

[Year 850, Xia Zhishan bid you farewell, saying she was going out for a few years and didn't know when she would return, asking you to take care of yourself.]

[You felt that something must have happened, but since Xia Zhishan was unwilling to say, you were helpless.]

[This made you frown. No matter what the change was, you knew it wouldn't be good for you.]

[After all, the more stable the environment, the better for you to simulate, develop, and cultivate.]

[However, you also knew that stability was not something you could decide.]

[You could only cultivate harder, striving to improve your strength before any changes occurred.]
