Beauties in Simulation Cross over into Reality-Chapter 104 - 93: In This Life, Will He Still Wear the Green Robe?

Chapter 104: Chapter 93: In This Life, Will He Still Wear the Green Robe?

The day after taking the Feather Transformation Pill and the Dragon Thunder Liquid, Xiao Mo woke up.

Sitting on his bed, he felt his body was incredibly light and far more energetic than before.

Xiao Mo closed his eyes and inspected his body internally.

He could feel Spiritual Power flowing continuously within him.

"The effects of these elixirs are insane."

Xiao Mo let out a long, turbid breath.

The Dragon Thunder Liquid could indeed change a person’s Root Bone and build an Acquired Spiritual Vein, allowing an ordinary person to take up cultivation.

In reality, however, an Acquired Spiritual Vein created by the Dragon Thunder Liquid should have been extremely fragile.

But unexpectedly, with the synergy of the Feather Transformation Pill, the two complemented each other perfectly. They had actually created a Spirit Vein and Spirit Root comparable to Innate ones, and of a remarkably high quality!

’Under the elixirs’ effects, I even broke through to the first level of the Qi Cultivation Realm in one go.’

Just then, an idea suddenly sparked in Xiao Mo’s mind.

’Maybe I don’t need to join the imperial court and become an official after all.’

’Before, when I wanted to become a court official, I had already considered that Ruxue might give me Dragon Thunder Liquid.’

’I just thought that drinking the Dragon Thunder Liquid would be useless.’

’The Dragon Thunder Liquid’s main purpose is to help Cultivators improve their Spirit Veins.’

’An ordinary person who drank it would still find it difficult to reach Foundation Establishment.’

’So, by comparison, I felt that becoming a court official seemed more practical.’

’But now, things are different. Maybe I really can devote myself wholeheartedly to the Path of Cultivation.’

From outside the door came Bai Ruxue’s cheerful voice. "Xiao Mo, are you awake? Get up for breakfast! The sun’s high in the sky, sleepyhead."

Xiao Mo opened his eyes and realized he had slept until noon.

"Sister Bai, I’m awake..." After settling the Spiritual Power in his body, Xiao Mo called out, then quickly got out of bed and went outside.

"Come wash up. Looks like it’s too late for breakfast, so we’ll just have an early lunch." Bai Ruxue emerged from the kitchen carrying a basin of water. "Let me wash your face for you."

"Sister Bai, I can do it myself... Mph..."

Before Xiao Mo could finish his protest, Bai Ruxue was already scrubbing his face with a washcloth.

Xiao Mo’s head was turned every which way.

’Xiao Mo realized something: Ruxue seemed to really enjoy washing his face for him...’

After he brushed his teeth with a locust twig dipped in salt and crushed seashell powder, Bai Ruxue brought out their meal.

During the meal, Bai Ruxue asked Xiao Mo how he was feeling.

Xiao Mo told her the truth.

Bai Ruxue breathed a sigh of relief when she heard him say he felt light and full of energy.

’It seems his body accepted the Dragon Thunder Liquid and Feather Transformation Pill very well.’

"Xiao Mo, starting today, I’m going to teach you how to cultivate." After they finished lunch, Bai Ruxue looked at Xiao Mo expectantly.

For Bai Ruxue, it seemed, teaching Xiao Mo anything, be it literature or cultivation, was a thoroughly enjoyable affair.

"Okay, Sister Bai." Xiao Mo nodded earnestly. "I’ll be sure to work hard!"

"Ah, well... you don’t need to try *that* hard. Just do what’s within your abilities," Bai Ruxue said, waving her hand quickly, worried he was putting too much pressure on himself.

"I understand, Sister Bai." Xiao Mo nodded. "So, Sister Bai, what are we going to start with?"

"Hmm..." Bai Ruxue thought for a moment. "There are countless Great Daos, and each person is suited to a different one. Choosing the right path means you’ll achieve twice the results with half the effort. A poor choice means half the results with twice the effort. But you don’t have to worry, Xiao Mo. I’ve already prepared everything for you."

Bai Ruxue took an elixir from her Sleeve Universe. "Take this elixir, then sit cross-legged on the floor with your eyes closed. Whatever appears in your mind will reveal the Great Dao most suitable for you, Xiao Mo."

"Ooh, okay, Sister Bai." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Xiao Mo took the elixir, swallowed it, and sat cross-legged on the ground, clearing his mind.

Gradually, a book materialized in his mind’s eye.

The book had no title; it was simply the image of a book.

A moment later, Xiao Mo opened his eyes.

Bai Ruxue looked at him expectantly and asked with curiosity, "How did it go, Xiao Mo? What did you see?"

"Sister Bai, I think I saw a book," Xiao Mo said.

"A book?" Bai Ruxue blinked, thinking it over. "In that case, it seems very likely you’re meant to walk the path of the Confucian Dao, Xiao Mo."

"The Confucian Dao?"

Xiao Mo had expected as much.

’In my past life, I was a scholar. It makes sense that I would walk the path of the Confucian Dao in this life, too.’

Seeing Xiao Mo’s silent contemplation, Bai Ruxue continued to explain, "The Confucian Dao is one of the three major philosophical paths, commonly known as Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism. I don’t know a lot about the Confucian Dao myself, but that shouldn’t be a big problem.

I’m still quite confident I can guide you in your cultivation."

"Mhm, I believe in you, Sister Bai!"

Xiao Mo nodded earnestly.

’Even so, I feel a little apprehensive,’ Xiao Mo thought.

’I’m not sure just how reliable Ruxue is.’

’Still, I’m not completely ignorant about the Confucian Dao. After all, in my past life, I was a Prime Minister in one of the ten great dynasties of the Human Race. I met many Cultivators, especially Confucian Scholars who had embarked on the Path of Cultivation.’

’To put it simply, cultivating the Confucian Dao means reading a lot.’

’The more you read, the greater your knowledge. The more thoroughly you understand the teachings of the Confucian School, the higher your Realm will naturally become.’

’In this world, there are many places for Confucian Cultivators to study. The most famous among them are known as the "One Academy and Four Colleges."’

’The Four Colleges are Bailu Academy, Duanya Academy, Vast Sea Academy, and Penglai Academy.’

’Above the Four Great Academies stands the sacred institution that all scholars under heaven dream of attending—the Confucian Academy.’

’For now, Ruxue’s guidance should be enough. But after I reach the Cave Mansion Realm, I’ll probably have to find a way to study at one of the colleges or even the main Academy.’

Xiao Mo thought to himself, his head lowered.

"What’s on your mind, Xiao Mo?" Bai Ruxue asked, bending over with her hands clasped behind her back and gently poking the center of his forehead.

"It’s nothing." Xiao Mo shook his head.

"Alright then."

Bai Ruxue didn’t press the matter.

"Alright then, starting today, our cultivation will be split into two parts!

First, we need to study hard. To follow the Confucian Dao, you absolutely must read a lot of books. The greater your scholarship, the higher your Realm will be.

Second, you can also learn things like Mental Methods and Sword Techniques as a secondary discipline.

I’ll teach you all of that."

"Thank you, Sister Bai," Xiao Mo said with sincere gratitude.

"You’re welcome." Bai Ruxue’s eyes curved into crescents. "Now, Xiao Mo, go get your copy of *The Analects*. It’s time for class to begin!"

"Mhm!"

Xiao Mo ran to his room.

’In this life, will he still wear the scholar’s green robes?’

Watching Xiao Mo’s retreating back, Bai Ruxue’s gaze grew even softer.

’Yes, the green robes suit him best.’
