Kapitel 160: Chapter 160: The Start of Another Simulation

Hai Bodong opened the door and saw Xiao Ming sitting in the courtyard drinking his tea, not far away from him, Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin were cultivating, so he hurriedly led Ya Fei towards Xiao Ming.

"Hahaha, it's been a few days since I've seen you, Master Xiao Ming, but you are still in your usual elegant style!"

"I hadn't seen Mr. Hai Bodong for a few days, but you've become much more youthful."

After exchanging a polite greeting with Hai Bodong, Xiao Ming invited Hai Bodong, Ya Fei, and Xiao Shan to sit down.

After pouring three cups of tea, Xiao Ming smiled and asked Hai Bodong, "Ice Emperor, have you been given the rewards?"

"Mm." Hai Bodong nodded and turned to Ya Fei, who was standing beside him, and said in a low voice, "Why don't you quickly bring out what you have prepared?"

Today, Ya Fei was as attractive and charming as ever, and her voluptuous and exquisite body, wrapped in a red dress, was extremely provocative.

After hearing Hai Bodong's command, she removed a green ring from her finger and handed it to Xiao Ming in the most respectful manner.

"This ring contains the precious medicinal herbs that the Miteer Family has mobilized from various branches by order of the Grand Elder, each of which is worth no less than two hundred thousand gold coins, this ring has thirty-three in total."

Thirty-three medicinal herbs worth at least two hundred thousand gold coins, there were not many powers in the entire Jia Ma Empire that could get them.

This Miteer Family was also worthy of being an important family specializing in business in the Jia Ma Empire.

Calmly taking the herbs from Ya Fei's small and soft hand, Xiao Ming didn't bother to explore what was inside, but said, "I didn't expect Mr. Hai Bodong to move so fast, I thought I would have to wait for you for two more days."

"Oh, it wasn't me who mobilized these things, this Ya Fei girl was the one who did it."

In response, Hai Bodong said with a smile, during the past few days at the Miteer Auction House Branch in Wu Tan City, he had also become familiar with the head of this branch, that is, Ya Fei.

After a few days of observation, he found that she was quite capable and had a good head for business.

Disregarding her poor cultivation talent, she could also be considered a rare talent.

That was why he brought Ya Fei to see Xiao Ming this time.

If it was another figure he didn't like, he wouldn't have paid much attention to it even though it was also from the Miteer family.

"Miss Ya Fei is really worthy of being someone who controls a Miteer Branch at a young age, you are very capable." Xiao Ming smiled and praised.

At Xiao Ming's praise, Ya Fei had a charming smile at the corner of her lips and said that she was just doing her part, then said nothing more.

After chatting for a while, Hai Bodong looked at Xiao Ming with some apprehension and said.

"Master Xiao Ming, you also know that I was sealed for decades, and I just regained my strength through pills."

When Hai Bodong suddenly brought up this matter, Xiao Ming hummed and gestured with his eyes for him to continue.

"You may not know that my previous realm was actually at five-star Dou Emperor, and this time, after using Breaking Adversity Pill, I only recovered to two-star."

"Hmm, what do you mean?" asked Xiao Ming without raising his head after filling his cup of tea.

"This... I know that you, Alchemists, like to collect some strange and weird pill recipes with all kinds of effects, I just want to ask you if there is a pill that can restore my strength."

Xiao Ming understood why Hai Bodong asked him this question, it was because after one's strength reached Dou Emperor, every one-star breakthrough would take a long time.

Hai Bodong was previously a five-star Dou Emperor, so it would take him five or six years to reach that stage again in any case, and that was without him experiencing some kind of bottleneck.

It is important to know that Hai Bodong is of the same generation as Yun Shan and Jia Xing Tian. Yun Shan in the Dou Emperor realm and Jia Xing Tian are now dying of old age, and although Hai Bodong is a bit younger than them, he is not too far from the end of his lifespan either.

This outcome, for Hai Bodong, who had just finally regained his strength, was unacceptable, so he came to Xiao Ming for help.

Xiao Ming thought about it and smiled, "...Of course I have something."

Ever since Xiao Ming had passed the sixth tier of Alchemist, Jia Nan Academy's pill recipe storehouse had been completely open to him.

Although he hadn't taken out many pill recipes, he had looked at quite a few, and along with the pill recipes he had obtained from the Simulator and his Master, Elder Huo, there were actually plenty of pill recipes that Xiao Ming knew of.

Among them, there were indeed one or two that restored strength.

Not to mention pill recipes, he even had a pill that restored the strength directly, which was a Two-colored eighth-tier pill, Fungus Green Pill.

This pill could even restore the strength of a Dou Venerate.

However, he would not exchange something of this tier to Hai Bo Dong, after all, Hai Bodong could not afford the price.

Hearing that Xiao Ming had a pill to restore his strength, Hai Bodong was overjoyed.

"I would like to..."

"I understand, follow the rules of the Alchemists, these are the herbs." Before Hai Bodong could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Xiao Ming.

Looking at the list of herbs in his hand, Hai Bodong smiled and nodded.

"Don't be happy so soon, the pill is ranked in the sixth tier and is called Spiritual Recovery Purple Pill, the herbs needed are not easy to find." Xiao Ming reminded Hai Bodong, who had a big smile on his old face.

After hearing this, Hai Bodong was not worried, he had expected this, from the fifth tier, medicinal herbs were very hard to find.

He put the paper with the names of the herbs on his ring, before taking his leave.

Looking at Hai Bodong, as well as at Ya Fei's back, Xiao Shan, who had remained silent, suddenly asked, "The matter of Mr. Hai Bodong is over, when will you return to the academy, Cousin?"

"About this matter... we will leave tomorrow." After a moment of silence, Xiao Ming said.

"Aren't you too anxious, why don't you stay a few more days?" asked Xiao Shan while scratching his head.

Speaking of which, Xiao Ming had stayed very little time in the Xiao family, and Xiao Shan was still a little regretful about this matter.

"No, there are still many things to do, this trip to Jia Nan Academy, I might not be back for another two years." Xiao Ming shook his head.

"Uh, this..." Xiao Shan couldn't help but blink at his words.

"You're not even coming back for the Coming of Age Ceremony?"

Sixteen-year-old Xiao Ming's Coming of Age Ceremony was already almost a year away, and Xiao Shan felt a bit dismayed by Xiao Ming's decision.

For every family with an inheritance, a Child's Coming of Age Ceremony was a very important ceremony.

"It can't be helped." Xiao Ming shrugged his shoulders.

He didn't have much to do in the Xiao family.

Xiao Ming had only lived in the Xiao Family for about six years, his direct lineage was basically dead, and of the six years, more than four years had been spent where the Xiao Family orphans gathered.

He had only spent a year or so enjoying the benefits of being a Xiao Family genius.

Although he had feelings for the Xiao Family and a sense of identity, it was simply impossible for him to stay in the family all the time.

It was fine if he was free, but if he was not, this so-called Coming of Age Ceremony was not important enough to make a trip back to the family.

When the matter of returning to the Jia Nan Academy was finished, he still planned to wander around the nearby empire and improve his strength a bit.

After Xiao Shan sighed at Xiao Ming's choice, he did not say anything.

After all, he also knew that Xiao Ming had always been obsessed with cultivation, and it was quite reasonable for him to make this decision.

Because he might not see him for a long time, Xiao Shan stayed with Xiao Ming for quite some time before saying goodbye.

During this time, Xiao Ming also told him that Yun Yun would send someone to deliver some things to the gate.

...

Evening.

The bright moon hung in the sky, with its misty light covering the whole earth, the stars glittered like dappled snow in a sky with a black background. The beautiful sea in the firmament was breathtaking.

A gust of night breeze blew, Xiao Ming, who was soaking in the mountain hot spring, let out a sound of relaxation.

"What I will miss most about the family are these hot springs at the back of the mountain, they really aren't bad at all." ".

Xiao Ming, who was feeling relaxed, suddenly heard a voice sounding in his mind.

[Ding, an opportunity for a life simulation has been detected, Start the simulation?]

In response, Xiao Ming said softly, "Simulate it."

[Ding, the current number of simulations is one.]

[Start simulation--]

[Day 1: You left the Xiao Family with your friend Zi Yan.]

[Day 2: You sit on the back of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, which you subdued not long ago, and cultivate for a whole day].

[Day 3: You sit on the back of the Amethyst Winged Lion King and cultivate for half a day, In the afternoon, you instruct Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin in their training].
