Chapter 17: Threefold Cultivation Speed, Lin Clan Shaken

Xianxia: Establishing an Immortal Clan Through Simulation 

Chapter 17: Threefold Cultivation Speed, Lin Clan Shaken

【Please make your choice.】

At this moment, the Immortal Clan Simulator once again issued its mechanical prompt, snapping Lin Zichen out of his indecision.

He looked at the three options displayed on the screen before him.

In the end, he made his choice.

“I choose the first choice.”

For Lin Zichen, choosing a reward after a simulation required consideration not only of its practicality but also of its cost-effectiveness.

Compared with the first option, neither a Master-level subordinate nor the Life Experience from the simulation was as practical. As for cost-effectiveness, that was a matter of personal judgment.

“A Master-level subordinate is merely external assistance. It’s nowhere near as good as having strength of my own. As for Life Experience, unless I’m left with no other choice, it’s better not to choose it.”

“If I don’t truly experience things myself, how can that be called life?”

Muttering to himself, the more Lin Zichen thought about it, the more certain he became that he had made the right choice.

Three times the cultivation speed.

At the time of his death in the simulation, he had reached the peak of the Master Realm. In other words, this enhancement would remain in effect all the way until he reached that realm.

That was far more valuable than a Master-level subordinate or decades of simulated Life Experience.

After all, Lin Clan was still relatively safe, and he had plenty of time to develop.

“I still have a hundred low-grade spirit stones left. I’ll save them for emergencies.”

“Now, let me see what this threefold cultivation speed is really like.”

A trace of anticipation appeared in Lin Zichen’s eyes.

According to the simulator’s projection, it had taken him more than five months to break through from the ninth level of the Acquired Realm to the Innate Realm.

With three times the cultivation speed, theoretically, he should be able to enter the Innate Realm in less than two months.

In reality, however, his cultivation speed might be even faster.

After all, the faster one cultivated, the more sustained and powerful the pressure one could exert when breaking through a bottleneck. The efficiency of breaking through realms could therefore far exceed a simple threefold increase.

Lin Zichen entered the secret cultivation chamber where he usually practiced.

As usual, he sat cross-legged on a yellow meditation cushion. He glanced at the grooves around the chamber and, with a thought, several low-grade spirit stones flew out of his system storage space and landed in the grooves.

In an instant, spiritual energy several times denser than that outside surged toward him.

“Time to cultivate!”

Taking a deep breath, Lin Zichen circulated his family cultivation technique, continuously absorbing the dense spiritual energy within the chamber.

Wisps of faint white mist formed beneath his nostrils.

With every breath, the white mist was drawn into Lin Zichen’s body.

With the threefold cultivation-speed enhancement, the true qi within his body began increasing at an almost visible rate.

………

While Lin Zichen entered the secret chamber to cultivate in seclusion, something similar was happening throughout the Lin Clan.

Many Lin Clan members noticed that their cultivation speed had suddenly become extraordinarily fast. Excited by the change, they silently became even more diligent in their cultivation.

A powerful cultivation atmosphere suddenly swept through the entire Lin Clan.

If one person suddenly cultivated faster, it could simply be attributed to having gained some sudden enlightenment.

But if every member of the entire Lin Clan suddenly began cultivating three times faster than before, the resulting commotion could easily be imagined.

However, the Lin Clan's senior leadership immediately sealed off the entire clan after receiving the news. Under their warnings, the various Lin Clan members silently kept their mouths shut.

After all, an increase in cultivation speed was certainly a good thing, but if the news reached people with ulterior motives, that good fortune could easily turn into disaster.

Therefore, everyone tacitly agreed not to discuss the matter any further.

As for the servants who happened to learn about it, they were immediately sent to the restricted area in the rear mountains, where they became laborers assisting the Lin Clan in cultivating spiritual herbs. Perhaps they would never be allowed to leave that place for the rest of their lives.

Of course, if any of these people had families outside, the Lin Clan would provide their families with financial compensation according to their contributions within the restricted area, provided the families agreed.

After taking care of all these matters, the various Lin Clan elders finally gathered in the main council hall.

Even now, they could not conceal the shock in their eyes, along with traces of barely suppressed delight.

“A cultivation speed three times faster than before. How could my Lin Clan have changed so drastically in such a short time? Could it be that Heaven itself is favoring us?”

“Favor from Heaven? After living for so many years, have you ever heard of any clan on the Heavenly Martial Continent being ‘favored’ by Heaven?”

“Not necessarily. Perhaps the strength of our Lin Clan is simply too weak, and we have no access to information at that level.”

“That… is indeed possible.”

Hearing this, the various Lin Clan leaders present could not help but hesitate. None of them dared to say with absolute certainty that such a possibility did not exist.

After all, the Heavenly Martial Continent was simply far too vast.

The Qianyuan Kingdom they lived in was merely one among countless kingdoms. They had no idea what the world beyond it was really like. In fact, given the Lin Clan’s current foundation, even events occurring outside the province might remain unknown to them unless the disturbance was sufficiently large.

“Perhaps the Lin Clan in Qingsheng City knows some of these secrets?”

At that moment, First Elder Lin Shouchang’s voice suddenly rang out through the hall.

Hearing this, the various Lin Clan leaders present instinctively turned their gazes toward the Clan Leader seated at the head of the hall. When they saw that his expression had not changed in the slightest, they could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Immediately afterward, images of the prosperous and flourishing Lin Clan in Qingsheng City involuntarily surfaced in their minds, and a trace of longing appeared in their eyes.

“Heh… with Chen’er, returning to Qingsheng City will be an easy matter for our Lin Clan.”

“We can even be more ambitious. Given the inheritance of the force behind Chen’er, once he grows up, there’s no reason our Gentle Breeze City Lin Clan cannot surpass the Lin Clan in Qingsheng City and become one of the top first-rate forces in the Qianyuan Kingdom, or even a super-first-rate force.”

Sitting on the Clan Leader’s seat, Lin Shoucheng gave a light chuckle when he saw everyone’s expressions.

Ever since Lin Zichen had revealed his cultivation in this very council hall, Lin Shoucheng was no longer troubled by what had happened to him in the Lin Clan of Qingsheng City.

Because he knew that, given Chen’er’s talent and inheritance, it would not take long for him to enter the Innate Realm.

By the time of the next clan competition of the Lin Clan in Qingsheng City, Chen’er would have at least reached the third or even fourth level of the Innate Realm. Winning first place would surely be an effortless matter.

The various Lin Clan leaders present were slightly stunned by this.

Then, faint smiles appeared on their faces.

“That’s right. Chen’er is the disciple of a legendary existence. Once he grows up, even if he doesn’t reach his master’s realm, he will at the very least become a top-tier Master Realm expert, and there’s even a very high chance that he could step into the Deva Realm. Why should our Gentle Breeze City Lin Clan envy the Lin Clan in Qingsheng City?”

At that thought, the envy and longing they had felt toward the Lin Clan in Qingsheng City quickly disappeared, replaced by intense anticipation for the future of their own Gentle Breeze City Lin Clan.

If that day truly came…

Even if they died then, they would die content.
