I Have A Disciple Simulator Chapter 5: Rewarding the Disciple, Taiqing Wuji Technique!

[Ding, you have gifted your disciple “Lin Qingzhi” with a high-grade Profound Rank cultivation technique and received an 80,000-fold reward: a high-grade Heaven Rank cultivation technique “Taiqing Wuji Technique”.]

[Ding, the number of times you can gift today has decreased by 1.]

Suddenly, a scroll holding a cultivation technique emerged inside Lu Changsheng’s Daoist robe—it was none other than a high-grade Heaven Rank cultivation technique!

Cultivation techniques fall into four primary ranks: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow, with each rank split into high, mid, and low grades.

As a high-grade Heaven Rank technique, the Taiqing Wuji Technique surpassed the high-grade Profound Rank “Taxuan Skills” that Lu Changsheng had practiced earlier by a full six ranks!

“Disciple is grateful for Master’s profound kindness, but such a technique is invaluable, I dare not…”

Lin Qingzhi clutched the scroll of the Taxuan Skills, showing a bit of reluctance still.

“Take it, cultivate according to the technique, and if you encounter anything you don’t understand, come back and seek guidance from your master.”

Lu Changsheng, impatient to start practicing the Taiqing Wuji Technique and having exhausted all of today’s gifting and Power-infusing Initiation chances, gestured dismissively for Lin Qingzhi to return and focus on cultivation.

Now possessing the Taiqing Wuji Technique, Lu Changsheng no longer had any interest in the Taxuan Skills.

What good was that trash to him?

Witnessing Lu Changsheng casually flinging the Taxuan Skills his way with clear contempt, Lin Qingzhi reflected inwardly, “Mount Shu’s heritage runs so deep it’s beyond comprehension. Even an Elder treats a high-grade Profound Rank technique like mere scraps. My worldly knowledge is sorely lacking. How shameful…”

“Disciple will never forget Master’s deep kindness and will cultivate diligently, aiming to enter the Qi Transformation Realm as soon as possible.”

Lin Qingzhi carefully stowed the Taxuan Skills with respect, bowed once more in kowtow, and departed from Lu Changsheng’s cave dwelling to the mid-mountain disciples’ quarters for his cultivation.

Once Lin Qingzhi was gone, Lu Changsheng turned his palm over, revealing the scroll of the Taiqing Wuji Technique.

“To know the white, yet hold to the black, is the model for the world. To be the model for the world, the constant virtue remains unerring, returning to the infinite…”

Reciting the mnemonic chant under his breath, Lu Changsheng traced the diagrams in the Taiqing Wuji Technique to guide Spiritual Energy along his Zodiac Meridians.

Lu Changsheng’s Nascent Soul slipped into a mystical state.

Chaos enveloped everything, vast and formless, devoid of any sense of up, down, left, right, or the cardinal directions.

Within the chaos, Lu Changsheng’s Nascent Soul flew on his sword, yet remained forever trapped inside.

Lu Changsheng extended his reach and lightly grazed the laws of the cosmos, deepening his grasp of the Dao.

“An undifferentiated mass of chaos was born before heaven and earth. Silent and vast, standing alone unchanged, circling endlessly… I do not know its name, and so I call it ‘Dao’!”

A resounding crash echoed as if enlightenment flooded in, like the clamor of bells and drums!

Hum!

Lu Changsheng’s Nascent Soul retreated to his Sea of Consciousness, his eyes snapping open while his Daoist robe dripped with perspiration.

“The ‘Dao’ existed before heaven and earth were born?”

The mysterious realm of the Taiqing Wuji Technique left Lu Changsheng profoundly stirred; merely touching the fringes of the Dao had already strained his Nascent Soul Realm to its limits.

Per the Taiqing Wuji Technique, the Dao predated the creation of heaven and earth.

“Whew…”

Lu Changsheng let out a long breath of turbid air, then drew in a deep one as spiritual energy from the natural world around Qingyun Peak surged wildly toward him!

“The Taiqing Wuji Technique proves to be utterly astounding!”

Lu Changsheng’s breathing had intensified tenfold compared to before, boosting his cultivation pace by the same remarkable factor!

This demonstrated the immense value of a high-grade Heaven Rank cultivation technique.

Despite Mount Shu’s solid foundations, Heaven Rank techniques remain scarce, reserved solely for the Sect Leader or Elders and disciples who render major services to the sect.

Especially since the Taiqing Wuji Technique ranks among the pinnacle of Heaven Rank techniques.

“At this rate, I’ll break through the Nascent Soul Realm into the Dao Palace Realm in no time. Then I could enter Mount Shu’s inner circle… Wait, no, cultivators must stay humble, keep a low profile…”

Lu Changsheng always preferred caution, aiming to remain inconspicuous.

This vast continent harbors far more turmoil than it seems. From Mount Shu’s Sect Leader to its disciples, all follow the codes and champion the Righteous Dao, utterly reliable.

Yet in Xia State, five other Orthodox Sects and four Demon Sects also exist.

The five Orthodox Sects resent Mount Shu’s supremacy, as its fame draws countless talented cultivators away, leaving fewer recruits for the rest.

Thus, these five Orthodox Sects quietly compete with Mount Shu for the top spot among Orthodox Sects.

The four Demon Sects harbor an even fiercer grudge against the six Orthodox Sects, with disciples dying on both sides yearly; some Mount Shu Elders have perished by the hands of the four Demon Sects.

Countless Demon Sect Elders have fallen to the blade of Mount Shu’s eldest senior brother, Li Changye.

The four Demon Sects regard Mount Shu with great caution and dispatch disciples to sneak in, trying to gauge the cultivation of Mount Shu’s Elders.

Feigning weakness to conceal true power is the ultimate path to survival.

With the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator in hand, I can steadily advance my cultivation and endure until attaining sainthood.

Lu Changsheng gathered his thoughts briefly and resumed practicing the Taiqing Wuji Technique.

The Taiqing Wuji Technique consists of nine levels. As the anonymous sage who devised it noted in the foreword, attaining the ninth level marks only the start of grasping the Great Dao.

“This sage shows true humility, a fine example for us all.”

After channeling True Qi through the Zodiac Meridians a dozen times, Lu Changsheng at last mastered the first level of the Taiqing Wuji Technique.

Yet from the second level onward, it grew far more obscure and challenging to fathom.

If the first level of the Taiqing Wuji Technique resembles simple arithmetic, the second level equates to advanced mathematics.

“Thankfully, the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator stands ready. With a Power-infusing Initiation, I can recover my cultivation and quickly master the core of the Taiqing Wuji Technique’s second level.”

“What? Three days have already passed?”

Lu Changsheng had merely directed his True Qi along the twelve Zodiac Meridians using the Taiqing Wuji Technique, and checking the time, he found three days had elapsed.

It was no surprise the ancients claimed seven days in the mountains equal a thousand years in the mundane world.

“That means I can now perform Power-infusing Initiation on my disciple and gift again.”

A faint smile crossed Lu Changsheng’s face as he anticipated the thrill of bending the system’s rules.

“Hold on, I haven’t tried the disciple life simulation feature yet.”

Lu Changsheng realized he had neglected one aspect of the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator.

This simulator allows forecasting a disciple’s future, helping the master guide them better and reshape their destiny.

Being a simulation means these predictions aren’t fixed fates.

Clearly, without Lu Changsheng’s input, the simulation could well turn real.

“What realm will my disciple ultimately achieve, I wonder?”

Lu Changsheng held deep concern for his inaugural disciple, so he chose to activate this simulator function.

[Ding! You have begun simulating your disciple ‘Lin Qingzhi’s’ life.]

[Ding! Number of simulations available today -1.]

[Simulation begins:]

[At 15, Lin Qingzhi became your disciple. Under your perfunctory guidance, he broke through to the Qi Transformation Realm in one month.]

The initial line swiftly appeared.

“I gave him Power-infusing Initiation, and he reached the Qi Transformation Realm in a month. How is that perfunctory?”

Lu Changsheng muttered to himself involuntarily, then proceeded to scan the rest.

[At 16, Lin Qingzhi, under your perfunctory guidance, broke through to the Golden Core Realm within a year.]
