Chapter 2 Determined to seek immortality
In the darkness, rows of glowing small characters appeared one after another along with the picture.
[You returned to the anchor year. You were so happy that you did some extraordinary things, and your aunt almost drank the exorcism water that the witch in the village asked for]
[There is still half a year before the provincial examination, so you study hard day and night at home. Because you already know the test questions, you appear confident. Although your aunt usually complains about you, she has always supported you in studying.]
[The village chief's brother covets your family's ancestral fertile land and secretly persecutes you. As a woman, my aunt tried to resist but was powerless. You settled the matter with a little trick. Auntie will look at you differently from now on】
[Half a year later, you took part in the provincial examination. Although you were only at the bottom of the 30s, you succeeded in being elected and honored your ancestors]
[Anchored for 2 years, you went to Xuanjing City to take part in the examination. If you are prepared for the test questions, you will naturally go to high school. And he performed well in the subsequent palace examinations, ranking among the top two, and was given a Jinshi background]
[You traveled around the city of Xuanjing, and finally got what you wanted, and got the post of magistrate of Wen County in the south of the Yangtze River]
[Anchored for 3 years, you took office in Wen County after picking up your aunt at home. You begin to secretly cultivate your own team of confidants. In the same year, you led your men to find several minerals in the mountains that you remembered from your previous life]
[Anchored for 4 years, you successfully made a batch of explosives and matchlocks. The musketry team under him wiped out and consolidated a nearby mountain bandit in the first trial of their skills]
[After five years of anchoring, there was a severe drought in the south of the Yangtze River, and refugees were everywhere. Because you built water conservancy projects and built waterwheels to divert water early, Wen County under your rule was not greatly affected. In the same year, a group of refugees gathered to rebel and attacked the Langya Palace. You led your troops to arrive in time and saved King Langya's family. King Langya is very grateful to you]
[After 6 years of anchoring, you were promoted to the prefect of Jianghuai Prefecture. In the same year, you married the daughter of the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. 】
[Seven years after anchoring, a locust plague broke out in Jiangnan Road and the food harvest was poor. Only under your rule will the impact be minimal. In the same year, your wife gave birth to a son for you. 】
[After eight years of anchoring, your men successfully produced a flintlock gun]
[Anchored for 10 years, Princess Langya gave birth to a son. You personally came to congratulate her and gave you carefully prepared gifts]
[After 15 years of anchoring, the emperor suddenly became seriously ill. Before his death, it was announced that King Langya would come to the capital and his throne was passed down to him. King Langya succeeded to the throne and changed his reign to Xuanjing]
[In the 16th year of anchoring, Emperor Xuanjing called you to the capital and promoted you to Minister of War. In the same year, major and minor rebellions occurred simultaneously in various places. Emperor Xuanjing ordered you to lead troops to put down the rebellion. 】
[Anchored for 18 years, you traveled around and finally wiped out the rebels. After returning to Beijing, Emperor Xuanjing took back your military power and promoted you to Minister of the Ministry of War, leading you to become the Crown Prince and Grand Master]
[Anchored for 20 years, the queen was suddenly involved in a witchcraft case. Emperor Xuanjing was furious and sent him to the cold palace. The prince came to you privately for help, and you agreed decisively. After private visits and investigations, evidence was found that Concubine Xi framed the Queen, and the Queen was cleared. The three clans of Emperor Xuanjing and Concubine Yi Xi did not release the queen from the cold palace]
[Anchoring for 21 years, someone secretly accused you of treason and handed over evidence that you secretly mined minerals and secretly controlled a group of armed forces. You were extremely frightened and wrote a letter to plead guilty. Emperor Xuanjing removed you from your position as minister and only asked you to teach the prince]
[Twenty-three years after anchoring, Emperor Xuanjing was hunting in spring. Suddenly he felt something in his heart and decided to go back to the Langya Palace in Jiangnan Dao to have a look. 】
[Anchoring for 24 years, Emperor Xuanjing came to Jiangnan and ordered you to accompany him. While touring the mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River, I also took a look at some of the mines you mined privately back then]
[Anchoring for 25 years, Emperor Xuanjing went to Jiangnan for the second time. Only this time, he didn't take you with him. Three months later, you secretly received news that someone reported that you secretly went to the cold palace to visit the queen. In the same year, Emperor Xuanjing was assassinated on his way back to Beijing. When the news came back, the capital was shocked. The officials invited the queen out of the cold palace, and then the prince succeeded to the throne, with the reign name Kangning]
[In the 26th year of anchoring, you were awarded the title of Grand Master, and became a bachelor of the Yizheng Pavilion. You were a highly respected minister. The emperor is young and relies on you a lot. Take this opportunity to unite your party against differences and establish your own team in the court]
[Anchoring 27 years, your aunt passed away. You once again came up with the idea of seeking immortality, so you sent people to various places to explore for traces of the existence of immortals]
[Anchoring for 28 years, the emperor has come of age. But your power is increasing day by day, and the court has almost become your voice]
[After 30 years of anchoring, people in the world only know the Grand Master but not the Emperor]
[Anchored in the 31st year, the Queen Mother is pregnant and has urgently summoned you to the palace to discuss countermeasures. You were overjoyed and secretly took the Queen Mother back to the Grand Master's Mansion to take good care of her. In the same year, the Queen Mother gave birth to a son for you]
[In the 33rd year of anchoring, when you entered the court alone, you were surrounded by the confidants secretly trained by Emperor Kangning. Thanks to the help of the exotic treasure, I was lucky enough to save a life. You are furious and want to kill the emperor and establish yourself. After the Queen Mother's pleading and the persuasion of the ministers around her, she did not take action. You kill all the emperor's close associates. From then on, Emperor Kangning only had the name of emperor, but no actual emperor.]
[After 38 years of anchoring, Emperor Kangning died in depression. You make his eldest son emperor and change Yuan Dynasty to Longchang. 】
[After 40 years of anchoring, the Queen Mother died of illness. Your desire to seek immortality becomes more and more eager]

…
[This simulation ends]
[You can choose one of the following options to keep:
An item held by oneself in this simulation.
My own cultivation state in this simulation.
The simulated memory of a person close to you in this simulation. This memory can be inherited by the person.
Give up the above options and speed up the charging process. 】
Li Fan regained consciousness and found that he was back in his humble study.
Looking around at the strange and familiar scenery, the experiences of the past few decades flashed through his mind one by one. Li Fan couldn't help but feel a little emotional: "Is reality turned into illusion, or is everything a simulation, but it is too real and causes... An illusion? Or, when it reaches a certain level, there is no boundary between false and true."
However, Li Fan is not a hypocritical person after all. Soon, he calmed down and focused on these four options.
There is nothing much to say about the first and second items. If Li Fan embarks on the path of spiritual practice, these two items will definitely be of great help to him. Unfortunately, he was just a mortal in his last life. There is no spiritual realm at all.
As for the most valuable item he owns, it is probably the national jade seal.
It is also useless and will only bring disaster.
As for the third item, let someone also get the memory of this simulation...
This really made Li Fan's heart beat.
For a moment, several figures flashed through Li Fan's mind.
But in the end, he shook his head.
After all, people's hearts are the most unpredictable. No one knows what a person will become after being given decades of memories.
Now [Huan Zhen] has not been fully charged, and he is still a weak scholar with no strength, and has no capital to start over.
Therefore, everything should be stable.
That leaves only the fourth option.
Speed up charging progress.
[Huan Zhen] needs to be recharged to turn reality into reality.
According to Li Fan's experience in his previous life, this charging progress can only increase naturally with the passage of time. It takes about twenty years to be filled.
The charging progress will no longer increase after it reaches a maximum of 200%.
At the same time, when Li Fan receives a fatal blow, [Huan Zhen] will consume the charging progress to automatically protect his body. This is also the reason why Li Fan was able to survive several narrow escapes in his previous life.
Therefore, the fourth option is the safest choice.
After making up his mind, Li Fan no longer hesitated and thought silently in his heart.
Immediately, the rows of small luminous characters scattered into spots of light and quickly formed several new rows of characters.
Name: Li Fan
Realm: Mortal
Biological age: 20/86
Mental age: 166/1056↑
Void recharging progress: 30%
"Three lives as a human being, one hundred and sixty-six years. It turns out that I have lived for so long. But in my mind, the upper age limit in my mind was only more than nine hundred years in my last life, but now it has increased to more than a thousand years. It seems that this will As my experience has increased, it has reduced some of my anxiety.”
Just as the body's lifespan has a limit, there is also a certain threshold for mental endurance.
When carrying too many memories, it will form a mental burden. Once this burden is too heavy, it will completely crush a person's soul.
This is called "the wear and tear of time."
However, the upper limit of mental age will increase with the increase of mental recognition ability.
For now, Li Fan doesn't have to worry about this.
"As long as I embark on the path of cultivating immortality, nothing will be a problem. Now that I start over, glory, wealth, cars and beauties are not my pursuit."
"I just want to live forever!" The pain after his beloved relatives and friends in his previous life disappeared one by one, and the powerlessness and fear caused by his aging body all made Li Fan's determination become more determined at this moment.
"The goal in this life is to learn the secret of cultivating immortality from those two cultivators. Fifty years later, they will come to Xuanjing City. With intention and unintentional calculation, even if they are the so-called strong men in the foundation building stage, I may not be without them. Odds."
"Perhaps what I can rely on, in addition to guns and gunpowder, is the immortal miasma they call..."
"Besides, I can't wait for fifty years. They came from the Eastern Ruins. Maybe I can send people deep into the bottom of the Ruins to find out."
…
The biggest fear in life is not having a goal. In his previous life, many times when Li Fan woke up from the Queen Mother's bed in the middle of the night, he would feel extremely empty and confused.
In this life, he has stood at the top of ordinary people.
He is the emperor's teacher, and he holds the world's soldiers and horses. Nine out of ten ministers in the court are his confidants.
He was able to depose and establish emperors, and even the queen mother allowed him to take whatever he wanted.
It can't get any higher.
It will be the same even in another life.
Should we do the same for the next simulation?
So, what is the meaning of reincarnation from life to life?
Power and pleasure become the same thing after repeated too much.
Perhaps, if there are no variables, after a certain reincarnation, Li Fan will give up on his own initiative and choose to end his life.
but!
The appearance of those two immortal cultivators made Li Fan see a whole new possibility!
Li Fan saw a strange and tempting world waving at him.
This gave Li Fan great ambitions and goals.
He wants to become an immortal!
He wants to live forever!
No one can stop him!
Li Fan pushed open the door of the house, held his head high and walked out.
Keep a firm pace!
