Chapter 28
Chapter 28. Inheritance Token
【You don't give it much thought. If Li Yuxing intends to make a move on you, he has a long wait ahead of him — at least ten years. A lot can happen in ten years.】
【You let it go.】
【Year One into the simulation. You reach the fifth layer of Qi Refining. The sect also holds its new disciple intake ceremony, which you attend. The new batch barely numbers twenty. The most talented among them has Three Spirit Roots — and even that would make reaching Core Formation a struggle.】
【The senior sect members sigh. The pool of people capable of cultivating is vanishingly small — not one in a thousand, perhaps one in a hundred at best. Recruiting only from Flowing Cloud City and the surrounding villages simply isn't enough.】

【On top of that, spirit stone deposits are yielding less and less. At this rate, the sect may collapse from within before any enemy ever defeats it.】
【The Sect Master is at a loss. She announces that once the new disciple ceremony concludes, they'll hold a brief meeting.】

【You're standing near the Sect Master and can hear every word.】
【You have no particular opinions on any of it. You know this is only a simulation — when it ends, everything resets. Your focus stays where it always has: get stronger, stay alive.】
【Year Two into the simulation. You reach the seventh layer of Qi Refining. Having achieved Foundation Establishment once before, you hit no bottlenecks — though one may be waiting when you get there again.】
【This year, in response to the disciple shortage, the sect cautiously sent recruiters into Purple Cloud Dynasty territory. With basic screening methods, they managed to bring in a decent number of new disciples.】

【Whether any of them are spies, or carry enough loyalty to the Dynasty that they'd defect when war comes — that, no one knows.】
【You figure the Sect Master knows this gamble has risks, but doing nothing means the sect's strength only continues to decline.】
【So they're trying — hoping that those who appear to have weak ties to the Dynasty can be turned toward genuine loyalty to Flowing Cloud City.】
【Year One, Month Six into the simulation. You reach the eighth layer of Qi Refining. The Sect Master comes to find you, saying that pure cultivation without combat experience builds an empty foundation. In a real fight, all that progress might count for nothing.】

【So she'd like to send you on a field assignment. As it happens, there's a village under the sect's jurisdiction being terrorized by a great serpent that has gained sentience — it demands a pair of virgin boys and girls as monthly tribute.】
【Its cultivation level appears to be around the fifth layer of Qi Refining. At your current strength, it should pose no real challenge.】

【Your original plan had been to simply stay within the sect and wait out the years. In the last simulation, the Flowing Cloud Sect existed for at least six years while you were still alive. Stay quietly for six years and the simulation ends with a guaranteed base reward.】
【But now the Sect Master is asking you to go out. That puts you in a difficult spot.】
【You start to refuse, but the Sect Master says, "Once you or Li Yuxing breaks through to Nascent Soul, the two of you will face each other in a formal duel. The winner gains the right to the Sect Master's seat — and the right to dispose of the loser however they choose. If you only cultivate in isolation without building real combat instincts, you'll be impressive to look at and useless in practice."】
【"Furthermore — completing field assignments earns you more cultivation resources each month."】
【That last part gives you pause. Still, you think: the sect almost certainly has Purple Cloud Dynasty spies embedded in it right now. Going into the field is exactly when they'd make their move.】
【You look at the Sect Master and, after some deliberation, agree.】

【The Sect Master nods and hands you two protective measures: a Thousand-Mile Transfer Talisman — one use only, will extract you from danger the moment it's activated — and a Qinghong Sword, Xuan-grade, mid-tier.】
【With the talisman in hand, your options for staying alive have just increased.】
【Two days later, you have a conversation with Bai Yulan and set out. She gives you repeated warnings to be careful.】
【You nod.】
【Year One, Month Six, Day Five into the simulation. You arrive at the mission site.】
【After speaking with the villagers, you locate the serpent demon.】

【Your plan is to kill it quickly, avoid any complications, and get back.】
【You kill it — and then find something inside it. A token, inscribed: Xuanfu Sect Inheritance Token.】

【Your expression shifts. You've heard of inheritance tokens. Creating one requires nothing less than God Transformation-level cultivation. Through an imprint of spiritual sense, the token contains an entire sect's accumulated knowledge and techniques.】
【You think: is this Fortune +1 finally pulling its weight?】
【And of all things, this inheritance appears to be talisman-related.】
【An inheritance token transmits all of its knowledge directly into the mind. The speed of comprehension is several times faster than conventional study.】

【Master the talismans inside and you'll have more ways to protect yourself — and a new source of income.】
【You pocket the token and head back toward the sect, eager to start studying it.】
【But on the way back—】
【You feel it. A violent premonition of danger. You dodge instantly — and a silver needle whistles through the space where your head just was.】

【Even at a glance, you can see the needle is coated in virulent poison. If it had hit you, that would have been the end.】
【Your expression hardens. You call out toward the direction it came from: "Since you're here, come out."】

【At those words, a man in black robes and a mask steps out of the shadows.】
【He says, "Your reaction speed is something else. That's not just raw power — I'm starting to wonder if you really are some old monster in a stolen body."】
【He doesn't believe the reincarnator story you gave when you first entered the sect. Body-taking, he'd heard of. Reincarnation — never.】
【"The Flowing Cloud Sect has no future," he says. "Why not come over to the Purple Cloud Dynasty? Once we expose the sect from the inside and crush it with Dynasty forces, we'll absorb it as a subsidiary sect — you and I will be its new masters. A talent like yours — I genuinely don't want to waste it."】
【You're not taking that offer. Joining the Purple Cloud Dynasty means becoming a slave, your life entirely in their hands.】
【You don't waste words. You run.】

【The man looks almost regretful. "So that's your answer. But do you honestly think someone at the eighth layer of Qi Refining can outrun a Foundation Establishment cultivator?"】
【He closes the distance in an instant and brings his sword down straight at your vital point.】
【You react in time, raising the Qinghong Sword to catch the blow — but the force still sends you skidding back hundreds of paces.】
【The impact forces several mouthfuls of blood from your lips.】
【The man sees your condition and doesn't rush the kill. He smiles, unhurried: "Trying to flee from a Foundation Establishment cultivator in this state — you're overestimating yourself. I was going to offer you a decent future in the Dynasty. Let you grow up, serve as a cultivation cauldron. Looks like it'll have to end here instead."】
