In the simulator, the Sun Essence Gold actually began to evolve on its own. Soon, the fist-sized Sun Essence Gold transformed into a long sword.
"What is this?"
This touched upon Qi Tian's knowledge blind spot. After pondering for a moment, before the Qi Cultivator's intent could inform him, he said, "Could it be that the Sun Essence Gold itself doesn't need to be refined by anyone? It only needs to be recognized and infused with spiritual power to reveal its true form?"
Qi Tian stared at the long sword. The Sun Essence Gold was still transforming; it was evident that some parts of the long sword had not completely changed.
It was at this very moment that his simulator suddenly displayed the words "Error" in large letters, then abruptly shut down. Not only that, but the fan on his computer suddenly roared to life.
"Overload."
Qi Tian directly shut down the computer. He had equipped this computer with the best configuration available, combined with his refining techniques, which had significantly enhanced it. Yet, under these circumstances, a single simulator had rendered the computer inoperable.
It seemed that the Sun Essence Gold held secrets he could not yet comprehend.
At some point, the Qi Cultivator's intent ceased speaking, and Qi Tian could no longer feel its presence.
Qi Tian subconsciously took out the piece of Sun Essence Gold.
How could he gain its recognition?
He attempted to inject spiritual power into it, but the spiritual power was instantly repelled.
"What about this, then?"
As Qi Tian spoke, he bit his finger, and a drop of blood fell onto the Sun Essence Gold.
There was no reaction.
"I was overthinking it."
Qi Tian chuckled to himself, realizing that the legendary blood-bound recognition did not work on this Sun Essence Gold.
He then put the Sun Essence Gold away, checked his computer, and restarted it.
The computer was fine. However, when he opened the simulator, it was supposed to record all his experimental logs. But now, all those records had vanished.
Not just the record of the recent transformation, but all his previous experimental logs were gone.
Even...
The data of the Sun Essence Gold that he had scanned into the simulator was also gone.
He needed to scan it again.
"Back to square one..."
Qi Tian was not discouraged. The more difficult it was, the greater the sense of accomplishment waiting for him, and the more significant the breakthroughs he would achieve.
He had always approached things this way over the years. This was just a few days' worth of data; if it was gone, he would simply recreate it.
...
When Lin Xiao sent Xun'er to kindergarten that morning, he looked at her sitting in the back and called out, "Xun'er."
"Daddy, what is it, Daddy!" Xun'er seemed to have regained her energy in the morning. Hearing Lin Xiao call her, her big eyes looked ahead.
"Xun'er, remember, don't lie anymore from now on."
Lin Xiao adjusted his tone, "Daddy won't scare you anymore either."
"I know, Daddy. I swear, I'll never lie again!"
As she spoke, the little girl raised four fingers.
"When you make a vow, shouldn't it be three fingers?"
Luo Bing, who was beside them, nudged Xun'er and reminded her in a low voice.
"Isn't it four?" Xun'er blinked. She looked at the four fingers in her hand, had she done it wrong?
