"At this critical moment for my Chixin Sect's survival, how could I possibly take advantage of the chaos to steal things! Of course, I must save people!"

Chen Yi declared righteously, almost convincing himself.

Stealing martial arts resources meant little to him outside the simulation.

Only one thing could truly be brought out—cultivation techniques!

Yin Rui was protecting the techniques in the Scripture Repository. By going to rescue him, he could repay some of the usual kindness he'd received, and conveniently scoop up some techniques. Wasn't that killing two birds with one stone?

[You choose option 1.]

["Elder Yin! Hold on! I'm coming to help you!"]

[You stepped on the Rocket Step, charging into the demon horde like a bulldozer, stubbornly smashing through the demon tribe members, sending them flying in all directions.]

[At this moment, you weren't their biological father;you were their living nightmare.]

[Hitting you couldn't break your defense, but taking one punch from you sent them straight to meet their ancestors.]

[Yin Rui was fighting a bloody battle in front of the Scripture Repository. Seeing you rush to his aid, and with such ferocity, a look of hope appeared on his face.]

["Young friend Chen Yi! Don't worry about me! Take my sect's techniques and get out, protect them well! The future revival of the Chixin Sect depends entirely on you!"]

[Yin Rui waved a hand, and a chest of cultivation techniques landed before you.]

[The Chixin Sect's collection of techniques wasn't just this small.]

[But the truly valuable techniques were all inside this chest.]

[Other fellow disciples rushed over, shouting with all their might.]

["Elder, don't worry! Leave the techniques to me!!"]

[Competition?]

[Seeing these people about to pounce on the techniques.]

[You kicked away several demons, tripping up all these competitors, then quickly tied the wooden chest to your body.]

["Elder! I won't abandon you!"]

[Yin Rui smiled, his expression serene.]

["I'm already old. The Chixin Sect raised me my whole life. Today, she is in trouble. I am willing to live and die with her! Go, Chen Yi. I only hope that when Chixin Sect members find you in the future, you can hand over the techniques and revive our sect!"]

[Getting the techniques into your hands was your sincere intention.]

[But seeing Yin Rui cover your retreat at this moment, delaying the demon horde, you were genuinely moved by his willingness to sacrifice himself.]

[Human nature is just that complex.]

["Go quickly! You're the only one here who can break through!"]

[Although Yin Rui didn't know why you were so effective against the demon tribe, now wasn't the time to ponder such questions. Preserving the spark of the Chixin Sect was the most important thing.]

[You clasped your fists from a distance toward Yin Rui, then left with tears in your eyes.]

[During this process, your nose caught a scent that stirred your heart and soul—a supreme treasure!]

[This scent came from the sky.]

[You knew it should be that existence in the clouds, the one suspected to be a divine dragon.]

[The demon tribe members appearing in this Demon Tide were generally not highly powerful. Even the top-tier combatants could be held off by the Chixin Sect's upper echelons.]

[Only that being in the sky was clearly no ordinary figure at first glance.]

[Actually, overly powerful demon tribe members wouldn't appear in the Central Plains.]

[Because this was human territory. How could one allow others to sleep soundly beside one's own bed?]

[Whenever a demon tribe member that was too strong appeared, a human mighty expert would take action to resolve it.]

[Therefore, the demon tribe gathered at the Chixin Sect mostly had average strength, able to trade blows with even a second-rate sect.]

[And that one in the sky definitely wasn't a demon tribe member living in the Central Plains. It must have come from the Eastern Wastes, or even more distant, the Great Wastes!]

["Senior Brother Chen! The techniques are too heavy! Let me carry some for you!"]

["Get lost!!"]

["Chen Yi! Your hair isn't red at all! How can our sect's High-Grade techniques be carried out by you? Hand them over!!"]

["My heart is red!!"]

[As you charged recklessly through the demon horde, sprinting wildly down the mountain, some Chixin Sect members tried to snatch the techniques from you.]

[How could that be allowed!]

[No one is allowed to touch my Chixin Sect's techniques!]

[The person stays with the books!]

[Loyalty!]

[When you, filled with fighting spirit, finally charged all the way to the foot of the mountain, the gloomy sky suddenly erupted with a dazzling radiance!]

[A colossal sword, reaching into the heavens, shot over from the distance.]

[Where the sword passed, the sky seemed torn in two, with all clouds retreating!]

[Where the sword light reached, heaven and earth instantly became clear!]

[Upon that giant sword, you saw a blurry human figure.]

["Azure Dragon! Why are you causing trouble in the Central Plains! Do you intend to disregard the agreement between our two races?!"]

[The person on the sword issued a stern question.]

[At this moment, the Azure Dragon within the dark clouds, seeing the swordsman arrive, no longer cared about maintaining its image as a demon tribe ancestor. It swung its tail down.]

[The Chixin Sect's mountaintop was instantly flattened by dozens of meters, everything engulfed in billowing dust.]

[That tremendous shockwave transmitted from the mountaintop. Even you, already at the foot of the mountain, were swept up by the impact, sent flying on the spot, and thrown hundreds of meters away!]

["Holy shit... that's just too damn strong!"]

[What surprised you even more was that person riding the giant sword, who could confront the Azure Dragon. What level of expert was he?]

["Li Liushui, this venerable one is not disregarding the agreement. It is you humans who have crossed the red line. I am saving myself, and also saving you!"]

[The Azure Dragon's rumbling, deep voice resounded through heaven and earth. With every word uttered, the world trembled.]

[Afterwards, you saw sword light and azure dragon scales flashing high in the sky. The swordsman called Li Liushui and the Azure Dragon flew up above the clouds.]

[You stopped paying attention to such top-tier powerhouses and left this dangerous place with a chest of techniques.]

[Several days later.]

[You arrived at a small town and stayed at an inn.]

[Finally, you had time to sort through the gains from this venture.]

[Twenty cultivation techniques!]

[Among them, fourteen were Mid-Grade techniques, and six were High-Grade techniques!]

["This is what you call opportunity..."]

[You vividly remembered what Shen Qingshan had said.]

[For an ordinary martial artist, obtaining one High-Grade technique meant they were someone with deep karmic fortune.]

[And you got six at once!] 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

[As for the other fourteen Mid-Grade techniques, they were also the cream of the crop among Mid-Grade techniques, worthy of being called mid-to-high grade!]

[What excited you most was that among the six High-Grade techniques, there were both External Techniques and Internal Techniques.]

[This meant your foundational cultivation speed would receive a certain degree of improvement by switching to more advanced techniques!]

["Carrying this pile of stuff around isn't safe. I'll memorize them all, then find a place to bury them, waiting for a destined person to find them..."]

[Afterwards, you temporarily settled in this small town.]

[Memorizing the techniques.]

[Switching to more advanced External and Internal Techniques.]

[Learning High-Grade Martial Arts.]

[In your spare time, you went to the town's entertainment district to save those unfortunate young women who had lost their way.]

[You really were too full of compassion.]

[Year Sixteen, age thirty-three.]

[Drawing traits...]

[Draw successful!]

['The Only True Seer in the Whole Game' (Purple): Every day, you can designate a target to verify whether they are a good person or a bad person.]

[Adjust trait?]

[Yes/No]
