My Longevity Simulation
chapter-218

However, these recruitment messages only mentioned companionship on the journey to Jiushan Province.

The specific purpose was left vague.

It was clear they assumed everyone understood without the need for explicit details.

"It's only the tenth year; there's no rush," Li Fan pondered to himself.

"I'll wait until the 11th year when the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace opens. I'll see if my clone can obtain another technique from Qin Tang."

"Then, I'll send my clone on a trip."

Having made a decision, Li Fan temporarily set this matter aside.

He turned to Jiang Zhengji of the Martial Hall and inquired about improving practical combat skills.

The reason for doing so was not just to enhance his own combat abilities.

More importantly, Li Fan wanted to defeat Zhang Qianmo of the Purple Heaven Sect in the Fallen Immortal Realm as soon as possible, to see if he could go elsewhere afterward.

Li Fan found that he was trapped in Ningyuan City in the Fallen Immortal Realm.

During this lifetime, he had entered the Fallen Immortal Realm three times in succession.

The entry point remained the same each time.

It was just before Zhang Qianmo went to Ningyuan City to collect the Longevity Fruits.

To break free from this situation, Li Fan attempted three different approaches.

The first time, he followed the "plot" and feigned death first.

Then, taking advantage of Zhang Qianmo and others' big battle, he sneaked out of Ningyuan City unnoticed.

Unfortunately, he didn't fly far before Zhang Qianmo caught up to him.

Under the cries of "Evil demon," he was ultimately killed by a purple thunderbolt.

The second time, Li Fan directly turned the tables. He secretly communicated with Song Hesong and collaborated to attack Zhang Qianmo.

Zhang Qianmo was seriously injured, but Li Fan and the others were helpless against the purple energy in his body.

After his rebirth, Zhang Qianmo's strength greatly increased, and he effortlessly killed Li Fan and the others one by one.

The third time, Li Fan simply found an excuse, saying he didn't want to go to Ningyuan City and wanted to return to the sect.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Qianmo's expression changed immediately, and without saying a word, he attacked.

They fought for a long time, eventually ending in defeat for Li Fan.

Time and time again, it was frustrating.

But he indeed was not Zhang Qianmo's opponent.

In the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, means to improve a cultivator's combat effectiveness were strictly limited.

Even with Li Fan's current permission level of Ten, he still hadn't found any useful results.

So, Li Fan could only try and ask Jiang Zhengji.

His response was as expected: "The Martial Hall's various combat techniques are under control and cannot be passed on."

"I'm sorry; I can't help with this favor."

Originally, it was just a casual question, and Li Fan didn't have high hopes. Li Fan still politely thanked him.

Whether out of caution or curiosity, after a while, Jiang Zhengji sent another message: "What does fellow Daoist want to improve his combat skills for? From what I know, fellow Daoist is just a formation master, right? Could it be that there's some enemy?"

Li Fan's heart skipped a beat, but he wasn't flustered. He said, "No, there's no enemy. It's just that I often spar with a fellow Daoist but always end up losing. It's just a matter of being unsatisfied mentally."

"In fact, I don't even necessarily need to improve my practical combat skills. I just want to defeat him once."

After a while, Jiang Zhengji replied, "Hehe, so that's the case. Everyone has a competitive spirit. I understand."

"If fellow Daoist wants to improve practical combat skills, I can't help with that favor. However, if you want to defeat an opponent, I do have an idea."

Li Fan's spirit shook, "Fellow Daoist, please speak!"

“We, the Martial Hall, have applied for a functional zone in the Tianxuan Realm named 'Discussing Dao While Seated'.”

"Utilizing the powerful calculation ability of the Tianxuan Mirror, by inputting the realms, techniques, divine abilities, and secret techniques of both parties in advance, we can simulate the combat process between the two."

"There's no need to input the specific content of techniques, only descriptions of the performance during battle."

"Based on the described strengths and weaknesses, the Tianxuan Mirror will generate Virtual Dao Discussants of varying strengths."

"After creating your own Dao Discussant, you can not only spar with it by simulating yourself but also engage in mutual battles with Dao Discussants of other cultivators."

"This is what we call discussing dao while seated."

"Of course, the Tianxuan Mirror will also, based on actual circumstances, make strength adjustments to the created Dao Discussants. Exaggerations like effortlessly tearing open space with a casual move are not feasible."

Li Fan, upon hearing this, suddenly became interested.

Unable to resist, he asked, "Is this function exclusive to your Martial Hall? If I want to use it, what can I do?"

Jiang Zhengji immediately replied, "Hehe, although it's generally not open to outsiders, if invited by internal personnel, outsiders can also use it."

As he spoke, he sent over a black-and-white icon.

Two figures sat on the left and right.

In the middle was the ancient character for "Dao."

Li Fan probed it with his spiritual consciousness.

He then received a prompt from the Tianxuan Mirror.

"Discuss Dao While Seated has been loaded. Inviter: Ten Thousand Immortals Island, Jiang Zhengji."

"Cultivator Li Fan, you have activated the Discuss Dao While Seated function."

"You are given one free opportunity to create a Dao Discussant and three chances for mutual battles."

"In the future, you can check and use the Discuss Dao While Seated function at any time."

...

Li Fan was keenly aware of the word "free" and quickly understood the trick.

However, with his current wealth, he didn't care about the contribution point cost.

Silently, he opened Discuss Dao While Seated and took a look.

In an instant, many pieces of information appeared before his eyes.

"(Dao Integration Realm) Senior Sister Zhao, the world's number one! With one person and one sword, she suppresses a Great Dao Sect, undefeated throughout the ages! If you don't agree, come and fight!"

"(Nascent Soul Realm) Middle-aged Heavenly Desolate Emperor, invincible in the world. Already on a thirty-three-game winning streak, welcome fellow cultivators to come and challenge!"

"(Nascent Soul Realm) Middle-aged Heavenly Leaf Emperor, unparalleled in mind and body, possessing a sacred physique. Not inferior to the Heavenly Desolate Emperor!"

"(Soul Transformation Realm) The peak of immortals, pride of the world, Lan An! As a newly created Dao Discussant, one word: invincible!"

"(Dao Integration Realm) Immortal Emperor Yu Lan, welcomes all real Dao Discussants to come and challenge. Please, Dao Discussants from various fictional novels, don't apply for battles, okay? What's the point of daydreaming all the time? I won't accept challenges."

...

Li Fan looked through these pieces of information one by one, revealing a strange expression.

It turned out that the majority of the Dao Discussants created by cultivators in this Discuss Dao While Seated were actually fictional characters from novels.

For example, he knew the Great Dao Sect's Senior Sister Zhao.

She was the protagonist of "Ancient History of Cultivation," a book he had read before.

This book, written in the first person, narrates how Senior Sister Zhao, starting as an outer disciple, went through various trials, step by step becoming an inner disciple, a core disciple, and finally, the sect master of the Great Dao Sect.

Unexpectedly, Senior Sister Zhao had gained considerable popularity.

On this Discuss Dao While Seated, with just a glance, there were dozens of cultivators choosing her as a prototype to create Dao Discussants.
