I have a cultivation simulator

Chapter 52 Hatching the Carved Egg

The Ouyang family, through their business operations and extensive connections, had long ago gathered considerable information about Foundation Establishment cultivators in the surrounding area.

As a guest elder of the Pill Hall, your reputation has begun to spread over the past ten years, and the Ouyang family has heard of you.

Therefore, upon learning that you had entered the market, we naturally dared not neglect you.

[This is also your purpose. If you don't want the Ouyang family to know your identity, you can continue to disguise your appearance.]

"I've long admired Master Wang's reputation, and meeting him today, I can confirm it truly lives up to its name."

The brothel owner, Ouyang Shen, was a middle-aged man of medium build with a bronze complexion, dressed in a yellow robe.

As far as you know, Ouyang Shen still has seventy or eighty years left before his lifespan ends, which is the prime of his life.

"Master Ouyang."

You also said hello.

[You came to Wushan Market this time to intercept the Black Wind Carved Egg, and you had only one purpose.]

Another purpose is to make advance arrangements for the opening of the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm more than ten years from now.

[In the second simulation, even if you knew in advance that the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm was about to open, you couldn't do anything due to your limited Qi Refining stage strength.]

However, in this simulation, you are already a Foundation Establishment cultivator and also hold the status of a guest elder of the Pill Hall.

[Naturally, we can intervene.]

You spoke with Ouyang Shen for a while, mainly because Ouyang Shen wanted to know your purpose in coming to Wushan Market.

You just made up some excuse to get by.

Finally, Ouyang Shen left with the words, "If Master Wang has any needs, please feel free to contact me at any time," and departed.

That night, another beautiful female cultivator from the Ouyang family arrived at your cave dwelling.

This beautiful female cultivator, named Ouyang Xin, surpasses Ouyang Yun in both figure and temperament, and even her cultivation level has reached the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

"I have met Master Wang Dan..."

Ouyang Xin is delicate and frail, like a tender flower.

[You didn't let Ouyang Xin stay overnight in the cave, mainly because you're always wary of the Ouyang family.]

Having learned from the experience of the previous two simulations, you are well aware of the ruthlessness of the Ouyang family cultivators.

On the second day, under Ouyang Xin's guidance, you visited several shops in the market, including the "Spirit Beast Shop" personally run by the Ouyang family.

[In the 'Spirit Beast Shop,' in front of Ouyang Xin, you purchased several spirit beast eggs, including a Black Wind Eagle egg.]

The purpose of this move is to lay the groundwork for the future.

The Black Wind Eagle Egg you intercepted will awaken the Dark Demon Eagle bloodline, inevitably attracting attention from all sides.

In the second simulation, the origin of the Dark Demon Eagle of Ruanhu in "Beast Taming Mountain" was almost common knowledge.

Therefore, you also need to prepare a plausible origin for the Dark Demon Eagle in the future.

[It was purchased casually at Wushan Market]

[At night, inside the cave, you have a thought, and a dark gray egg appears before you.]

[It was the Black Wind Carved Egg that you intercepted from Ruanhu.]

You gently stroked the egg with your right hand, simultaneously channeling your magic to nourish the life within.

[This is also the method to nurture the Black Wind Eagle egg. From this moment on, nourish it with your own magic power. When the Black Wind Eagle hatches, it will regard you as its mother.]

[You can vaguely sense that the life within the egg is extremely eager for your magical power, exceeding the level of a normal Black Wind Egg.]

[You felt a slight sense of relief. The bloodline of the Dark Eagle made this Black Wind Eagle egg show its unique qualities even before it was born.]

Of course, you can be certain of this difference because you knew in advance that it would awaken the Dark Eagle Bloodline.

[If it were any other cultivator, they wouldn't be so surprised.]

Simply having a greater desire for magical power doesn't prove anything.

"Nourish it with magic once a day for six months, and it will be born..."

[You looked at the dark gray carved egg and thought to yourself]

The next day, you went to a restaurant in the market and booked a private room.

He then instructed Ouyang Xin, who was beside him, to go out and do something.

Half an hour later, a dignified female cultivator walked in, looking somewhat apprehensive.

"I have met Master Wang Dan."

This dignified female cultivator is none other than You Rou, the vice leader of the Pill Alliance.

In the second simulation, you had several fleeting encounters with You Rou and learned quite a bit about this female cultivator.

One of your purposes in coming to Wushan Market this time is to make preparations in advance for the opening of the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm ten years from now.

Therefore, you need a trustworthy subordinate to work for you.

[Your original choice was Master Yun, but after careful consideration, you decided against it.]

Master Yun's character is impeccable, but he devotes most of his energy to the Yun Family Pill Workshop.

[Not a particularly suitable candidate]

After much thought, you thought of You Rou.

[You Rou's competence is beyond doubt; in the previous two simulations, she managed the Dan Alliance without any major mishaps.]

【"Um."】

You glanced at You Rou and said calmly.

"I wonder what business Master Wang has with me here..."

[You Rou said nervously]

In her heart, you are someone she absolutely cannot offend, not only because you have Foundation Establishment cultivation, but also because you are a guest elder of the Pill Hall.

In terms of background and status, he's even more powerful than the Foundation Establishment Alliance Leader behind the Pill Alliance.

The leader of the Pill Alliance, surnamed Fu, is a second-tier pill master, but not a guest elder of the Pill Hall.

"I'm planning to establish a chamber of commerce here. Are you interested?"

[Speak directly and state your purpose.]

A chamber of commerce is essentially a place where goods and valuables from different places are transported to another location for sale, buying low and selling high.

[You've already noticed that the resources sold in Biyue Immortal City are better than those in the market, both in terms of price and quality.]

[If we can establish a trade route connecting Biyue Immortal City and Wushan Market, and leverage the knowledge gained from the past two simulations regarding the market's resource shortages at different times, we can transport these resources from the Immortal City in advance, which will definitely generate substantial profits.]

Of course, your ultimate goal in establishing the Chamber of Commerce is to cultivate a group of cultivators who will serve you, in preparation for the opening of the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm ten years from now.

As for buying low and selling high to earn spirit stones, that's secondary.

【"Chamber of Commerce......"】

You Rou paused, then hesitated before saying, "But I've signed a spirit contract with the Alliance Leader..."

"Don't worry, your status in my guild won't be lower than it is now, and if you perform well in the future, it's not impossible that I might grant you the opportunity to establish your foundation..."

You said it in a flat tone.

The greatest opportunity for Foundation Establishment is nothing more than the Foundation Establishment Pill.

For low-level cultivators, obtaining a Foundation Establishment Pill is as difficult as ascending to heaven; even if they manage to buy one, whether they can keep it is another matter entirely.

However, for you, Foundation Establishment Pills are not particularly precious; there are many stable ways to obtain them.

[If your alchemy skills make a breakthrough, you can even try to refine Foundation Establishment Pills independently, just like Alchemist Zhao Kan in the second simulation.]

"A Chance to Establish Foundation..."

You Rou was deeply moved; no Qi Refining cultivator could resist the opportunity to establish their foundation.

[You Rou didn't doubt what you said. As a Foundation Establishment cultivator and a guest elder of the Pill Hall, you had no reason to deliberately deceive her.]

Furthermore, you also have the power to grant the opportunity to establish a foundation.

"I don't know why Master Wang would take a liking to me..."

[You Rou mustered her courage and asked, "The conditions you've offered are more than enough to hire other cultivators."]

"You're quite pleasing to the eye."

You just gave me a random reason.

The real reason is that, based on your experience from the previous two simulations, you understand You Rou quite well and believe that she can manage the Chamber of Commerce effectively.

You chose Yu Rou because you're not willing to waste your energy on chamber of commerce management.

"The spiritual contract I signed with the Alliance Leader will expire in two months, at which time I will then serve Master Wang again..."

[You Rou only hesitated for a moment before accepting your offer.]

You stayed in Wushan Market for two months, only returning to Biyue Immortal City after signing a spirit contract with You Rou.

Four months later, in the inner city's Danlou, you sit cross-legged on the third floor, slowly removing your right hand from the dark gray carved egg.

After being nourished by magical energy for half a year, the Black Wind Carved Egg has undergone obvious changes, and fine cracks have begun to appear on its shell.

Suddenly, one of the cracks opened up, and then a black eagle's head emerged.
