You’re Running 30,000 Simulations a Day—Trying to Stay Healthy or What? Chapter 53: Schemes Within Schemes

You initially thought You Yun might have conflicts with Xie Huide.

So you assud he was taking advantage of Xie Huide's seclusion

To intimidate you, Xie Huide's direct disciple.

Though temporarily no match for him, you knew he couldn't kill you either.

You even contemplated giving him a taste of cross-level combat.

Yet You Yun ca sneaking around only to leave inexplicably,

Thoroughly confusing you.

Frowning, you resolved to remain vigilant against You Yun in the future.

One month later,

Deng Rusong and Xie Huide officially began closed-door refinent of the Reviving Yang Pill.

Their estimated refinent period was one month.

Deng Rusong instructed You Yun that nothing—not even exploding crystals—should disturb them.

After Deng Rusong and Xie Huide entered seclusion,

You continued your cultivation.

Within days, you advanced the Treading Heaven Steps to Initial Achievent proficiency.

Now you could remain airborne for ten breaths.

But the movent speed mid-air remained problematic.

"If only Treading Heaven Steps could match an Ultimate Grandmaster's speed,"

You indulged in unrealistic fantasies.

That would grant you true flight—albeit briefly.

Still, it would fulfill your childhood dream of becoming an astronaut.

Frowning in thought,

Suddenly inspiration struck.

"I've got it! What if I have Lin Mo practice Treading Heaven Steps? Might yield different results!"

After all, Lin Mo was the genius who created the heaven-defying Nine Condensations Profound Skill.

Excited by the idea, you exclaid: "Right! I should utilize this human skill-enhancer!"

Acting imdiately,

You summoned Jiao Mingxu and He Youshan to care for Deng Wanshu for a month.

Deng Wanshu's condition wasn't secret—

Most Danxia Sect mbers knew.

Jiao Mingxu and He Youshan readily agreed, solemnly vowing proper care.

That sa day, you rode a fast horse to Lin Mo's ho.

Calculations showed roundtrip would take just over a month—

Coinciding with Xie Huide's estimated completion of the Reviving Yang Pill refinent.

Barring accidents, you'd return to find your martial aunt revived.

After half a month's travel, you arrived.

Lin Mo had grown considerably taller this past year.

Overjoyed at your return,

He eagerly pulled you: "Uncle Yu! You ca back!"

"Uncle Yu I missed you so much! Haven't slacked in cultivation, have you?"

Lin Mo proudly declared: "Uncle Yu, no slacking! I've cultivated diligently!"

A quick sensing left you stunned—

Lin Mo had reached late-stage Skin Refining in one year!

You needed fifteen damned years for the sa!

"Excellent. Late-stage Skin Refining in one year? Ti for advanced training!"

You handed Lin Mo Treading Heaven Steps: "Here child, a movent martial skill!"

Lin Mo accepted it solemnly: "Thank you Uncle Yu! I'll master it!"

"Not just master—I want you to modify it for maximum aerial speed!"

"Modify skills? Uncle Yu...can I?" Lin Mo hesitated.

You glared: "At your age I was creating skills! Modification is nothing!"

Lin Mo's expression fird: "Uncle Yu! I'll strive to match your footsteps!"

Smiling, you nodded: "Good lad. Catching won't be easy—work hard."

"Mhmm!"

After successfully "motivating" Lin Mo,

You returned contentedly to Danxia Sect.

The return trip took another half month—

Total roundtrip: one month and four days, remarkably fast.

Yet no revived martial aunt greeted you,

Nor were Deng Rusong or Xie Huide present.

Turns out they remained refining the Reviving Yang Pill.

Resuming cultivation,

Your pill refinent advanced after another month—

Now consistently producing four fifth-grade pills,

Solidifying Initial Achievent proficiency.

But Deng Rusong and Xie Huide still hadn't erged.

Growing suspicious,

You began periodically patrolling outside their sealed stone chamber,

Unable to interfere, only observe.

One day during courtyard training,

You Yun approached again,

Purportedly for casual chat.

This ti he voluntarily ntioned Xie Huide—

How Xie Huide possessed the greatest pill talent of their generation,

Universally expected to beco Danxia Sect's next leader.

Until Deng Wanshu's incident derailed everything.

Thereafter Xie Huide beca obsessed,

Frantically researching revival pills and dicines,

Like a stubborn bull charging down dead ends,

Neglecting proper pill refinent,

His martial cultivation lagging further behind.

Then You Yun abruptly shifted focus to you—

Praising you as Xie Huide's outstanding disciple,

Surpassing even Xie Huide's martial achievents.

Baffled by this sudden flattery,

You bluntly asked: "Elder You, enough riddles—what do you want?"

You Yun laughed awkwardly: "Straight to the point! Very well."

Glancing around, he whispered: "Has the sect leader nad you successor?"

Suddenly you understood—

This was about Danxia Sect's petty power struggles.

Disappointingly mundane.

Now realizing You Yun's previous "casual visit"

Was actually probing your political stance—

Especially after noticing your closeness to Deng Rusong.

Likely just fishing for confirmation.

Wanting no part in such distractions,

You resolved to decline any leadership position after Deng Rusong erged,

Requesting instead so cushy sinecure.

To You Yun you feigned ignorance: "Elder, this is news to ."

Undeterred,

You Yun smiled: "No need for caution. My faction seeks no leadership, only to support the next sect leader's prosperity."

Your triple denial finally sent him away uncertain.

Watching his retreating figure, your eyes glead thoughtfully—

Seriously considering leaving Danxia Sect.

Your involvent had grown too deep,

Constantly distracted by trivial matters,

Drastically deviating from your original goal of peaceful cultivation.

You longed for forr freedom—

Like a wild donkey galloping across plains.

Eyes flickering with resolve, you pondered deeply.
