章 343: Chapter 281: Fierce Battle

The way of Essence Refinement requires one to move forward step by step, without taking shortcuts.

After all, this world is simply a projection of the real world within a simulator. Unable to use the simulator to boost the cultivation process, all Pei Xuanjing can do is grind slowly, step by step.

However, there is an upside: Pei Xuanjing will have a deeper understanding of the mystery of Essence Refinement and gain insights that he was previously unable to perceive while using the simulator.

Pei Xuanjing is not satisfied with the recent encounter, but the white-haired old man across him has a completely different view.

Murderous intent flares up in the eyes he fixes on Pei Xuanjing.

Even though he didn't give it his all this time, the fact that Pei Xuanjing could withstand one of his strikes is incredibly shocking to him.
