Rebounding From Defeat Chapter 1

March is the time when all the major sects select disciples.

Royal nobles, ladies and gentlemen from various countries came to Xiaoshan Secret Realm to participate in the selection.

At this time, a group of men and women were gathered in front of the steep cliff, looking down at the Tianshan Snow Lotus shrouded in clouds and mist.

The snow lotus is as clear and smooth as jade and is a top-grade spiritual herb. It hangs on the mountain wall, standing still in the biting cold wind, and you can still vaguely smell its faint fragrance.

"Look! Is that Tianshan Snow Lotus?"

"If you can pick it, you will definitely pass the first test."

"The Tianshan Snow Lotus grows on steep cliffs. This kind of spiritual herb must be guarded by spiritual beasts. If you act rashly, you may be ambushed."

Grace Yao took out a rope from the storage ring and tied one end around the waist of Emma Chu, the maid beside her.

Grace Yao is the daughter of the Yao family and a prime minister of a country. She is well-dressed and has a delicate and pretty appearance. However, her maidservant is dressed in tattered clothes and is skinny, as if she has been malnourished for years.

"Help me pick the Tianshan Snow Lotus. If there is any mistake, I will beat you to death. Do you understand?"

Grace Yao frowned and forcefully tied the rope around Emma Chu's waist.

Emma Chu lowered her eyes. It was a chilly spring day and she was only wearing tattered clothes. They were next to snowy mountains and she was shivering with cold.

These young ladies and gentlemen were also wearing thin gauze, but they all had cultivation to keep warm, and at a young age, they had spiritual roots in their bodies, so they all stepped into the ranks of entry.

However, Emma Chu and other maids and servants are ordinary people and find it difficult to keep warm.

Seeing that she just lowered her head without responding, Grace Yao stuffed the rope in her hand into her hand with a look of disgust and pushed her, "Tie it tighter yourself, do you want me to do it myself?"

Emma Chu didn't stand firmly, staggered back a few steps and fell to the ground.

"waste."

Seeing this, Grace Yao just sneered.

Emma Chu lowered her eyes, and the loose hair on her forehead just covered her eyes. No one noticed the fierce murderous intent in her dark eyes.

It's almost time, just bear with it...

She was tied with a rope around her waist and lowered from the cliff.

Seeing someone go down, everyone else gathered around.

The cold wind on the cliff was biting, and the biting chill instantly invaded her whole body.

But her eyes were sparkling as she stared at the Tianshan Snow Lotus not far away.

As the rope was lowered little by little, the temperature became lower and lower.

Emma Chu's body trembled uncontrollably, but the light in her eyes became brighter and brighter.

As long as we get the Tianshan Snow Lotus, everything will change!

Grace Yao's voice kept urging from above, "Hurry up! Keep lowering the rope, lower it further!"

"You must bring the Tianshan Snow Lotus to me!"

Emma Chu was no longer able to care about Grace Yao's reprimand.

She stretched out her trembling hands, tightly grasped the rhizome of the Tianshan Snow Lotus, and pulled it hard.

The temperature on the Tianshan Snow Lotus was so low that it could almost freeze her bones.

The moment she got the Tianshan Snow Lotus, extreme joy surged over her and Emma Chu grinned.

"System, recharge!"

But at this moment, something strange happened and a gust of fierce wind blew towards Emma Chu.

It's a spiritual beast!

Before she could react, the rope was cut and her body fell down.

There was a cry of surprise from the cliff.

"She fell!"

"It's a spirit beast!"

"She is still an ordinary person with no cultivation. She is doomed this time."

Grace Yao watched helplessly as the Tianshan Snow Lotus that she was about to get was taken off the cliff by Emma Chu, and cursed inwardly.

"damn it!"

Emma Chu's thin body kept falling. She had a strong desire to survive, and she desperately stretched out her hands to grab around. Finally, she grabbed a tree and landed steadily on the treetop.

Fortunately, there was a cave not far from the tree, and she crawled over with her thin body trembling.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief after hiding from the cold wind in the cave.

She rubbed her arms, curled up her thin body, closed her eyes and said, "Start the first simulation."

Emma Chu felt that she was probably the most unlucky time traveler.

She came to this world and became a maid beside Grace Yao.

Grace Yao was mean and harsh, and would either beat or scold her, but she had no choice but to endure it due to her low status.

Fortunately, along with her time travel came a life simulation system.

However, to activate the system, you need to exchange spiritual objects for points.

After enduring until now, she can finally turn on the system.

[The life simulation system is activated, this time it consumes ten points. ]

【Balance: 30】

[When you were ten years old, Miss Grace Yao took you to participate in the sect disciple selection competition. When you were picking Tianshan snow lotus, you were attacked by a spirit beast. You luckily escaped to a cave next to a cliff and survived.]

[You climbed up with your strong willpower, but because you didn't take out the Tianshan Snow Lotus, she beat you up severely, leaving you with a lifelong scar.]

[At the age of eleven, the sect held a disciple election. You have no spiritual roots and have no chance to enter the world of cultivation. ]

...

[At the age of sixteen, you opened a small shop in the mortal world with the memories of your past life, but you still did not give up your cultivation and tried hard to find various methods. ]

...

[At the age of nineteen, you made some money and accidentally met an old beggar who was dying. You gave him a bowl of rice. Before he died, he opened up your meridians and gave you a fragment of a martial arts manual. You found that you could absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.]

[At the age of 20, you began to practice diligently, but because you had no guidance, your practice was slow.]

...

[At the age of 28, you relied on the fragments of the martial arts scroll to barely reach the fourth level of cultivation. After that, no matter how you practiced, your cultivation could no longer improve.]

[At the age of 30, the town where you lived was robbed by a group of bandits, and you died at the hands of a monk.]

Emma Chu took a breath of cold air. She... had no spiritual roots!

If there were no system, she would live such an ordinary life.

In the simulator, she lived twenty more years, but she was unable to achieve enlightenment through her practice, and was simply crossing the river by feeling the stones.

It took so many years to reach the entry-level fourth level.

[Simulation ends: You can keep one of the following. ]

[1. The cultivation level of a twenty-year-old.]

【2. Cultivation skills at the age of twenty.】

【Three, memories of life at the age of twenty.】

Emma Chu chose the cultivation level without hesitation.

In an instant, she felt a warmth surging from her dantian and spreading throughout her body.

Her limbs that had been frozen stiff had returned to normal, the coldness was completely dispelled, and the strange feeling of fullness of power made her overjoyed.

The skin on the withered and frozen red hands seemed to be glowing, making the skin smoother and whiter.

Is this what it feels like to have achieved enlightenment?

Emma Chu stood up and stretched herself, feeling full of strength.

The entry level is just half a foot on the doorstep of cultivation and cannot be considered a true cultivator at all.

At this moment, rocks suddenly fell from above my head.

Emma Chu frowned, went outside the cave and looked up, she could still vaguely hear voices talking.

"I don't think she will fall completely. There are many trees here."

"...Emma Chu! If you are not dead, give me a call!"

The voice was intermittent, but one could feel Grace Yao's rage.

Emma Chu curled up the corner of her mouth in a sneer. Grace Yao actually caught up with her!

It seems that she really values   the Tianshan Snow Lotus.

Grace Yao's voice above became clearer and clearer. Emma Chu took several steps back and pressed her body tightly against the stone wall.
