Chapter 1443: The Perfect Life

The fragrance outside Linglong Pavilion grew increasingly intoxicating, attracting men, women, and children of all ages. Curious onlookers stopped in front of the door, eager to catch a glimpse of what was inside.

However, the doors remained tightly shut.

When the doors finally opened, the rich aroma made everyone's mouths water. But before anyone could take a step inside, they were blocked by the guests exiting the pavilion.

The shopkeeper then slowly stepped out, clasped his hands in greeting, and surveyed the surroundings.

"Esteemed guests," he began, "our humble establishment is currently closed and will not be receiving any visitors for the time being. We kindly ask for your understanding."

After this brief announcement, the shopkeeper retreated back inside, and the doors closed once again, leaving the onlookers dumbfounded.

"What the hell? Linglong Pavilion isn't doing business anymore? What's going on?"

"What kind of place is this, closing down just like that?"

"Exactly! These days, making money is getting harder and harder. Even the donkeys in the production teams don't dare take a break, and they just shut down? It must be a lie!"

"It has to be a lie! The food and drinks inside Linglong Pavilion smell so good, I could almost swallow my tongue. How could they possibly close?"

"In my opinion, this is just a trick. They must be planning to sell something new and are trying to create hype!"

"You're right! Let's wait here and see what kind of game they're playing!"

The crowd grew more and more excited, determined to get to the bottom of things.

After smelling the rich aromas, even those who were skeptical couldn't resist their cravings and joined the crowd waiting at the door.

The crowd buzzed with chatter, their expressions filled with determination.

"I have to wait and see what's going on!"

"Yeah, we'll wait no matter what!"

Soon, the noise outside grew louder, rivaling the excitement of the pavilion's grand opening. Inside, however, it was serene and peaceful, with not a single extra guest in sight.

The difference between inside and outside was like night and day.

At that moment, the main hall of Linglong Pavilion was filled with young women dressed in simple robes.

Their beauty and grace far surpassed the legendary fairies of the mortal world. If any one of them were to appear on the streets outside, it would surely cause a sensation.

These young women stood in line, quietly waiting. Some held jade plates with various precious pills, each worth a fortune. Others carried jade basins filled with immortal elixirs...

No matter what they held in their hands, the hundreds of women all wore solemn and respectful expressions, their heads bowed in silence. The long line stretched up the ancient wooden staircase, all the way to the highest floor of the seven-story building.

This was originally the most luxurious private room in Linglong Pavilion, capable of accommodating hundreds of people. But now, the doors were tightly shut, and the beautiful maid at the front of the line had been waiting for a long time.

Beside her, the shopkeeper also stood with a bowed back, not daring to make a sound.

Only when a middle-aged man in a wheelchair appeared did the shopkeeper dare to whisper a report.

"Manager..."

"Everything has been prepared according to your instructions. The entire Linglong Pavilion has been closed, and all three thousand of us are ready to serve the master's physical body. Resources are being transferred from the treasury to ensure that all of the master's needs are met."

Hearing this, the manager nodded slightly.

He casually tossed out a luxurious cigarette, startling the shopkeeper, who quickly and quietly stored it away, not daring to make a sound.

All eyes in Linglong Pavilion were focused on the door of the largest private room.

Inside, Yi Feng was the only one present. He held an ancient jade in his hand, his consciousness immersed in it, playing the "Simulated Life" game. He lay on a divine velvet couch, fast asleep...

After what felt like an eternity of darkness, Yi Feng's vision finally cleared.

Before him appeared an incredibly realistic and beautiful scene. There was a mirror-like lake, clouds swirling above, and green mountains surrounding him. Cranes and mythical beasts flew through the clouds, and a refreshing breeze brushed against his face.

As the sunlight fell on his face, he felt a perfect sense of comfort.

Yi Feng's eyes widened in surprise. He looked down and clenched his hands, feeling a sense of disbelief.

"Wow..."

"Even the sensation in my hands feels so real, almost no different from reality. This Simulated Life game from Linglong Pavilion really has something special!"

Before Yi Feng could marvel further, he saw his reflection in the lake. His face was exactly the same as in real life, still as handsome as ever.

Instantly, Yi Feng felt a surge of joy.

Not only was the game incredibly realistic, but it was also very considerate, preserving his handsome appearance. Not bad at all!

Before Yi Feng could admire his stunning looks any longer, a group of young fairy maidens descended from the sky, landing around him and calling out to him with tender voices, their eyes filled with admiration.

"Big brother!"

"Big brother, I've been looking for you everywhere."

"Brother, I've been having so many doubts about my cultivation lately. Do you have time to guide me today?"

"I don't have any cultivation doubts, but I feel like my cave's decor isn't elegant enough. Would you be willing to come and give me some in-depth guidance?"

"Brother, I have doubts too!"

In the blink of an eye, Yi Feng was surrounded by young women, all of them beautiful and radiant, their eyes filled with adoration.

Yi Feng had never been this popular before.

The happiness came so suddenly that he was at a loss for what to do.

Fortunately, a game setting popped up in his mind, clarifying his role.

[In this life, you are the eldest senior brother of the Cloud Summit Heavenly Palace. With extraordinary talent and profound cultivation, you became famous throughout the world at the age of eighteen, captivating countless young women. You are truly a prodigy of the heavens!]

After reading the setting, Yi Feng was overjoyed.

A prodigy of the heavens?

So this is how awesome the starting point is, no wonder I'm so popular!

It has to be said, although this game has a bit of that "one-hit 999" online game vibe, it's definitely satisfying. At the very least, it's way better than real life.

Yi Feng had never dared to dream that he could have such a perfect life!

Filled with excitement, he couldn't wait to try things out.

With a light tap of his foot, he soared into the sky, standing atop the clouds. With a wave of his hand, he unleashed a force that could overturn rivers and seas, causing the sea of clouds to churn violently!

Behind him, a group of adoring female cultivators followed on their clouds, showering him with praise.

"Big brother's movement technique is as elegant as ever."

"Big brother is so handsome!"

"Compared to big brother's charm, all the other men in the world are just dust."

"Big brother, please guide me!"

As the female cultivators were getting excited, a group of male cultivators in white robes also arrived on their clouds, their faces filled with reverence.

"It really is big brother practicing!"

"Of course! Who else in the world could have such grace besides big brother?"

"If I could have even one-tenth of big brother's grace in this lifetime, I would be content!"

"One-tenth? You dare to dream!"

"Exactly! If I could have even one ten-thousandth of big brother's grace, I would be willing to train hard for 2,500 years!"

...

Listening to the endless stream of flattery behind him, Yi Feng felt an indescribable sense of pleasure.

With his hands behind his back, he was revered by thousands. With a wave of his hand, he could touch the sun, moon, and stars.

This was the perfect life he had always dreamed of.

This was what it meant to be a true cultivator!

Unlike himself, who had suffered so much in the first half of his life after crossing over. After struggling for years with the system, he thought he could finally become a cultivator, but in the end, he achieved nothing. He couldn't even reach the stage of fasting, feeling sleepy all the time. What kind of cultivation was that?

This game was truly amazing.

Finally, Yi Feng got to experience the thrill of being a prodigy of the heavens. It was like a dream come true. Filled with emotion, he gradually immersed himself in this wonderful life...
