The Sword Lord took out a small booklet from his storage belt.
"People in the world think that I have maintained my youthful appearance over the years by taking Face-Preserving Pills, but that's not actually the case. I simply have effective skincare thods."
As he spoke, the Sword Lord handed the small booklet in his hand to you.
"This records all the skincare thods I've discovered and summarized over the years, including cultivation techniques, dicinal baths, acupuncture, and so on, a total of ninety-nine exclusive secret formulas. Take it and start your skincare regin from today. By the ti you're seventy or eighty years old, you'll still have the appearance of soone in their thirties or forties."
The corner of your mouth twitched.
I say, Sword Lord, why don't you just take a Face-Preserving Pill? Can't you quit this beauty blogger side hustle?
Besides, I have the 'Ageless Male God' trait, why would I need sothing so cumberso?
Although you thought this in your heart, on the surface you still accepted it and repeatedly expressed your thanks.
"Thank you so much, I really need this."
You thought that was the end of it, but the Sword Lord pulled out another manual.
It couldn't be more health and beauty tips, could it?
"This is a collection of insights and realizations I've personally noted down over many years of contemplating the Sword Dao. Since you are a disciple of my Sword Sect, I hope you do not abandon the Sword Dao. Using these insights for contemplation will surely be of great benefit to you."
Sword Dao insights!
And written by the Sword Lord, the world's number one swordsman!
This was indeed a good thing, worthy of being called a priceless treasure.
If you took this to the Limitless Sword Sect for auction, those die-hard Sword Lord fanatics would absolutely bid it up to a sky-high price!
But you obviously wouldn't do that. Doing so would hurt the Sword Lord's feelings too much.
"Thank you, Sword Lord! This junior will certainly strive to comprehend the Sword Dao and live up to the Sword Lord's expectations!"
The Sword Lord patted your shoulder.
"It's just a pity you have a Low-Grade Bone Structure. Reaching the Golden Body Realm is already considered a miracle.
There is almost no thod in this world that can help you improve much further.
If you could grasp even a fraction of my Sword Dao, even if your cultivation realm isn't high, with a three-foot sword in hand, you would still have the bearing of a king."
The Sword Lord's care and concern for you stemd from you being the "Demon Tribe's Bane." He hoped you could beco stronger, as that would be of great use to humanity in resisting the demon tribes.
Actually, you wanted to say: Your sect's Sword Heart Immortal Peach would still be very useful to .
But you couldn't say it now. The timing wasn't right. If you said it, the Sword Lord wouldn't give it to you, and it would instead leave a bad impression of greed.
Regarding the demon tribes launching an attack on the Five Regions in the year you turn seventy-five, you also did not inform the Sword Lord.
Right now, that ti point is too far away.
Making various powers believe you can foresee the future would waste a massive amount of your energy and ti.
Even if the Sword Lord believed it, the Sword Sect alone couldn't defend against it.
Setting that issue aside, assuming everyone believed.
Not many forces would expend vast resources and manpower to construct defenses now for a crisis over forty years in the future.
Forty-five years is enough for two generations of ordinary mortals.
The current powerholders might not even live to see that ti. Who would care about the deluge after their death?
Rather than that, it's better to give the warning in a few years. By then, there might already be so clues, making defensive preparations easier to implent.
The thirteenth year, age thirty-one.
Drawing trait...
Draw successful!
'Galloping Steed' (Green Rare): Your riding skill is maxed out. You can control any mount. When you are on a mount's back, the mount gains an invigorating effect: enhanced stamina, reduced fatigue, and increased speed.
Adjust trait?
Yes/No
"This one can be swapped. Perfect timing, as I'm running all over the place during this period in the simulation. Faster travel can save ti."
Chen Yi outside the simulation perford a flurry of decisive operations.
You replaced 'Senior Tomato User' with 'Galloping Steed'.
"I ride my black horse~ through the Central Plains~ I change into plain clothes~ returning to the Central Plains~~"
You rode Black Wind back to the Central Plains, singing as you traveled, feeling utterly carefree.
Da Chun had now transford into an Artifact Spirit, rged with the Nine Provinces Cauldron, and was taken into your body.
With the boost from the new trait, your travel speed increased quite noticeably.
You just ran Black Wind ragged.
But he bore the toil without complaint, only fearing he couldn't contribute enough to you.
Your first stop upon returning to the Central Plains was the Chixin Sect.
Next year, the demon tribe's Founding Ancestor, the Azure Dragon, would personally take action and annihilate the Chixin Sect.
This sect was both involved with the Sacred Fla Cult that carried out the village massacre case and was suspected of having built a formation for alien race teleportation within that Ancient Pagoda.
In the unseen workings of fate, the Chixin Sect seed like a place where multiple threads of karma converged.
Now, your strength far surpassed anyone in the Chixin Sect. You prepared to go and obtain more useful intelligence.
The Chixin Sect was in Qingzhou, and your hotown, Baiyun County, was also in Qingzhou. You simply decided to first return to Baiyun County Town to visit Third Sister's family.
Over a decade had passed since you parted. You wondered how Third Sister and her family were doing.
After entering the city, you arrived at the familiar small courtyard, only to find it empty, the occupants gone.
This ti, however, there were no official seals plastered on the door.
After inquiring with the neighbors, you learned that Third Sister's family had moved away.
Because Shen Qingshan had been promoted. He now served as a Chief Banner Officer at the Demon Slaying Division in Baling Prefecture City, a position that wasn't low-ranking.
Naturally, Third Sister's entire family had relocated to settle in the prefecture city.
"Probably, regarding the official-demon collusion case from back then, since I didn't step forward to claim the credit, the higher-ups credited the rit to brother-in-law."
Shen Qingshan wasn't soone who coveted credit, but Zhang Miao was even less so.
Zhang Miao didn't want to dig deep into who killed the demon or who was behind exposing the demon case, but soone had to "take the bla."
You had told Shen Qingshan not to ntion you, and Shen Qingshan naturally kept his mouth shut.
The two of them stared at each other, understanding without words, and had no choice but to credit the rit to Shen Qingshan.
With rit, promotion was a matter of course.
It was actually convenient that Third Sister's house was empty. You stayed here temporarily while waiting for the arrival of the Shen Family of the Starry Sky.
The fourteenth year, age thirty-two.
You replaced 'Galloping Steed' with 'Senior Tomato User'.
You arrived at the Chixin Sect.
The Chixin Sect was a second-rate sect, aning the highest realm among its martial artists was only the Golden Body Realm.
You could basically co and go as you pleased.
The only trouble was the Mountain-Protecting Grand Formation and the early-warning formation array outside the mountain gate.
But, who were you again?
The Patrol Guard of the Chixin Sect, a professional security guard who patrolled the Chixin Sect for ten years!
You were crystal clear about all the ins and outs of these Chixin Sect formations. You directly entered through the back door.
Familiar with the route, you arrived near the Ancient Pagoda and settled in to wait here.
This was where the Chixin Sect's Founding Ancestor secluded himself in cultivation.
You were going to ambush him right here.
Not long after, you encountered this first Founding Ancestor of the Chixin Sect, who also served as its first Sect Master.
"Without my order, no one is allowed to enter and disturb my secluded cultivation, understood?"
"Yes!"
The Chixin Sect Master walked into the Ancient Pagoda alone.
The mont he entered, he was trapped by an inverted cauldron.
It was utterly caught off guard.
He tried to counterattack, but inside the cauldron, his fierce strikes resulted in his own fingers fracturing.
"Who are you, sir? Why are you ambushing here?!"
