I have a cultivation simulator

Chapter 24 Qi Refining Level 8

Next, Vice Alliance Leader You Rou continued to reveal more information about the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm.

[For example, the dangerous places and opportunities within the secret realm, etc.]

This information was extremely valuable when the Mysterious Realm of Mountains and Seas was first discovered.

However, the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm has long been emptied out, and Vice Alliance Leader You Rou obtained extremely detailed information with just a little inquiry.

Although Vice Alliance Leader You Rou doesn't know the point of your inquiry about this "outdated information," since you asked, she'll look into it for you to deepen your relationship.

"By the way, I found the first group of cultivators to enter the secret realm and, based on their memories, created a commemorative image... There must have been a fierce battle within the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm two or three hundred years ago..."

[Vice Alliance Leader You Rou took out a jade slip, which contained a replica of a scene from when the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm was first discovered.]

"A bloodbath?"

[Your divine sense probed into the jade slip, and you immediately observed the secret realm of mountains and seas from a bird's-eye view.]

The Mountain and Sea Secret Realm covers an area of ​​approximately several tens of miles, with scattered palaces and medicinal herb gardens.

However, in the photos, most of the palaces had collapsed, and the medicine garden was also severely damaged.

[From the photos alone, you can vaguely tell that two or three hundred years ago, some being ventured deep into the hidden realm of mountains and seas and carried out a massacre and destruction.]

"Is it the Blood Sea Immortal?"

[You asked]

If it really was Blood Sea Immortal who destroyed the Mountain and Sea Sect, then the one who last stormed into the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm was most likely him.

"I don't know."

Vice Alliance Leader You Rou shook her head. "If a true person were to personally enter the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm and examine the traces, perhaps they could deduce the identity and origin of the being who stormed into the secret realm."

"Who can truly know what happened hundreds of years ago..."

[You Rou slowly rose, her breath as delicate as an orchid, her cool eyes gazing at you with deep affection.]

You sensed a change in the atmosphere and faintly caught a whiff of You Rou's rich, lilac-like fragrance.

【"really......"】

You nodded slightly, stood up, and put your arm around You Rou's waist.

[Over time, you've naturally noticed the subtle, yet undeniable, seduction that Vice Alliance Leader You Rou is putting on you.]

[You guessed that Vice Alliance Leader You Rou did this because she wanted to use these things to keep you in the Pill Alliance.]

[After all, before you reached the seventh level of Qi Refining and showed any hope of becoming a high-grade alchemist, You Rou wouldn't even give you a second glance.]

[After becoming a top-grade alchemist, you are very clear about what price some external forces will pay to win over a top-grade alchemist.]

[If Yourou only has to pay a physical price to keep you here permanently, it's definitely a win-win situation.]

In the world of cultivation, there are some female cultivators who don't place much importance on their chastity.

Some female cultivators keep a large number of male concubines in order to cultivate special dual cultivation techniques.

Of course, you also have a very clear understanding of matters between men and women.

You Rou is delicate and gentle; if possible, would you mind having a brief, fleeting affair with her?

"Master Wang, with your alchemy skills, why don't you stay in the Alchemy Alliance permanently..."

[Your warm breath fell on your skin, and your chest heaved even more.]

"That won't do."

Upon hearing this, you shook your head and said...

[To remain completely within the Pill Alliance means to sign a deeper spiritual contract with the Pill Alliance, serving only the Pill Alliance.]

Most alchemists within the Pill Alliance have a cooperative relationship with the Alliance, especially high-grade alchemists; even if they don't take on missions, the Alliance usually turns a blind eye.

[In this simulation, you don't intend to be too closely bound to the Pill Alliance.]

[Or rather, it was merely a fleeting affair with You Rou, and it's not enough for you to completely side with the Dan Alliance.]

【"no?"】

Vice Alliance Leader You Rou blinked and gently pushed you away. "It's getting late, I should go back too."

After sending You Rou away from the cave, you fell into a brief moment of contemplation.

[Firstly, the information you obtained from You Rou regarding the Mysterious Realm of Mountains and Seas is mostly information you didn't discover during your first simulation.]

[This alone makes them profitable]

As for You Rou's seduction, you didn't take it to heart.

[Playing around is fine, but if it involves specific interests, you'll still consider it carefully.]

You arrive at the cave courtyard and see Da Chun practicing the "Blazing Sun Body Refining Technique".

[Da Chun is indeed very talented in body refinement; in the past few years, he has already cultivated this body refinement technique to the fifth level.]

The fifth level of the "Blazing Sun Body Refining Technique" is already capable of threatening cultivators at the fifth level of Qi Refining.

In the thirty-fourth year, you are forty-nine years old. Besides cultivation, you are also studying alchemy techniques.

You deeply feel the gap between a top-grade alchemist and a second-tier alchemist.

"Kid, your cultivation progress..."

[The Mountain and Sea Artifact awakens, observes your cultivation progress, and then falls silent.]

[If you can sense that your attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage is hopeless, the spirit of the Mountain and Sea Ring can naturally sense it as well, perhaps even more clearly than you.]

"Master, I've disappointed you."

You seemed a little embarrassed too.

The spirit of the Mountain and Sea Ring fell silent for a long time, seemingly hesitant.

But in the end, a decision was made, and an aged voice rang out, "Boy, do not resist. I will use my very essence to cleanse your marrow and tendons..."

[Splash—]

You clearly feel streams of warmth emanating from the sky-blue ring on your hand, continuously merging into your body.

Under the nourishment of this warm current, you feel an unprecedented sense of comfort in your body.

Half a day later, you opened your eyes.

[The subtle sensations made the perception of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth more concrete.]

[After a little practice, you'll find that your ability to absorb and refine spiritual energy has improved somewhat.]

You were utterly shocked to discover that your cultivation aptitude had improved.

[Having cultivated for so long, have you never heard of a method to improve cultivation aptitude?]

"Kid, I'm going to sleep now. You continue your cultivation. Remember, don't slack off!"

The aged voice of the spirit of the Mountain and Sea Ring quickly faded into silence.

You only said "Thank you, Master," and then you didn't notice any movement from the spirit.

[Originally, you had many questions you wanted to ask the artifact spirit, such as the Mountain and Sea True Man of the Mountain and Sea Sect, and that Blood Sea True Man.]

But it seems we'll have to wait until next time.

[In the thirty-fifth year, you are fifty years old. After your cultivation aptitude was improved, you increased the frequency of taking pills, and your cultivation speed increased significantly.]

[In the thirty-sixth year, at the age of fifty-one, the spirit of the Mountain and Sea artifact awakened once more, to cleanse and transform your marrow and tendons once more.]

You realize that the so-called improvement in cultivation aptitude is only temporary, but even so, it is still incredibly shocking. You feel that even a Foundation Establishment cultivator could not achieve such a level.

[This time, with the awakening of the Mountain and Sea Artifact Spirit, you finally managed to ask the Mountain and Sea Immortal and the Blood Sea Immortal. However, the Mountain and Sea Artifact Spirit did not answer your question but instead told you to continue focusing on your cultivation.]

[In the thirty-seventh year, at the age of fifty-two, you have finally reached the mid-stage of Body Refinement in the "Mountain and Sea Body Refinement Technique"]

The "Mountain and Sea Body Refining Technique" consumes a lot of resources, but it also significantly improves your physical physique.

[In the thirty-eighth year, at the age of fifty-three, you feel that you have completed half of the seventh level of Qi Refining.]

[In the thirty-ninth year, at the age of fifty-four, you learn that one of Master Ouyang's favored offspring will soon be attempting to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.]

As you know, their attempt to attack the Foundation Establishment Society ended in failure.

[In the fortieth year, you are fifty-five years old, and the offspring of Master Ouyang fails to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.]

Although Ouyang, as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, still has several decades of lifespan left, he remains the pillar of the market.

[In the forty-first year, you are fifty-six years old and begin accumulating spirit stones.]

Having experienced the first simulation, you know very well that in the coming decades, Wushan Market will become unstable due to the lack of successors to the Foundation Establishment stage, leading to massive clearance sales for many shops.

[But in the end, Master Ouyang still managed to cultivate a Foundation Establishment stage successor. You just need to wait until the assets in the market drop to their lowest point, then buy them, and sell them after the market stabilizes. This buying and selling will make you a fortune.]

[In the forty-second year, you are fifty-seven years old. Master Ouyang is grooming his second successor.]

[In the forty-third year, you are fifty-eight years old. You, the second successor groomed by Master Ouyang, have failed to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.]

[In the forty-fourth year, you are fifty-nine years old. Two successive heirs have failed to reach the Foundation Establishment stage, and rumors are gradually spreading in the market.]

Everything was exactly the same as what happened in the first simulation.

Several months later, you reached the peak of the seventh level of Qi Refining and began your attempt to break through to the eighth level.

You have successfully advanced to the eighth level of Qi Refining.

After the spirit of the Mountain and Sea artifact helped you transform your tendons and marrow, you reached the eighth level of Qi Refining seven or eight years ahead of schedule.
