I have a cultivation simulator

Chapter 68 Body Refining Breakthrough

When you hear "Beast Taming Mountain," does "Ruanhu Lake" immediately come to mind?

In this simulation, "Ruan Hu" failed to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage and was ineligible for the status of a direct descendant of the Beast Taming Mountain.

"Which cultivator from Beast Taming Mountain is it?"

You asked calmly.

[There is a fake Core Formation cultivator in charge of Beast Taming Mountain, and nearly twenty Foundation Establishment cultivators.]

If the final golden core formed during the Foundation Establishment to Core Formation process is of low quality, it will be called a "fake core".

The strength of a fake Core Formation cultivator is weaker than that of a normal Core Formation cultivator, but it can still overwhelm a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the peak of their cultivation.

Furthermore, due to the quality of their Golden Core, False Core Immortals are unable to advance to the mid-stage of Core Formation.

"It's Ruan Ci..."

[The maid Chunhua replied.]

You fell into deep thought.

Ruan Ci is a female cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Establishment from the Beast Taming Mountain.

The surname Ruan is also a prominent surname in Beast Taming Mountain, producing many Foundation Establishment cultivators.

"Bring her in."

You gave the order.

Don't you think that the Foundation Establishment cultivator from Beast Taming Mountain came to visit you because of the "Ruan Lake" matter?

[You made your move against 'Ruan Hu' in an extremely secretive manner. From beginning to end, even 'Ruan Hu' herself did not know the reason, let alone the Beast Taming Mountain.]

Even if we take a step back and assume that Beast Taming Mountain finds out that you were the one who attacked 'Ruan Hu', they probably won't come looking for revenge.

Now that you have a solid foundation and the backing of the Pill Palace of Azure Moon Immortal City, even the Beast Taming Mountain would have to think twice before making a move against you.

Is it really worth it for someone like you, a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, a second-tier alchemist, and a guest elder of the Pill Hall, to take action for just one of their Qi Refining disciples?

You glanced at the Dark Demon Eagle and guessed that Ruan Ci's arrival was probably related to this spirit pet.

Before long, Ruan Ci had already entered the courtyard.

"Ruan Ci of Beast Taming Mountain greets Master Wang." Ruan Ci, dressed in a green gauze dress, gracefully walks up to you.

"Fellow Daoist Ruan."

You also said hello.

[You originally planned to welcome Ruan Ci into the Pill Pavilion, but her gaze seemed to be fixed on the Dark Demon Eagle not far away.]

[Knowing the situation, you immediately began talking to Ruan Ci in the courtyard.]

"Fellow Daoist Ruan, did you come here for this Black Wind Eagle?"

[Get straight to the point]

"Master Wang has a good eye..." Ruan Ci sighed, "This is not the Black Wind Eagle..."

Ruan Ci focused her gaze on "Little Black," no longer concealing her intentions, "Wang Danshi, would you allow me to examine it carefully?"

【"no problem."】

You nodded.

Ruan Ci immediately stepped forward, approached the dark eagle, and began to feel its body.

The Dark Eagle was initially quite resistant, but at your prompting gaze, it obediently stood there.

[Let Ruan Ci's slender, delicate fingers explore her body, sometimes stroking the eagle's body, sometimes kneading its head.]

Half an hour later, when the dark eagle's head drooped, Ruan Ci finally stopped.

"Master Wang, this isn't some Black Wind Eagle, but a fully grown Dark Demon Eagle."

Ruan Ci's gaze turned serious as she spoke.

She didn't try to hide anything; determining 'Little Black's' true bloodline wasn't difficult—many beast tamers in Azure Moon Immortal City could do it.

"Dark Eagle?"

Your tone was surprised.

"Master Wang, I'll just ask directly: would you be willing to part with this Dark Demon Eagle and sell it to my Beast Taming Mountain?"

Ruan Ci asked directly.

The reason she came to visit was because she had heard that the spirit pet kept by Alchemist Wang Lin of the Pill Hall had a very unusual bloodline.

[The Beast Taming Mountain is based on controlling demonic beasts, and the demonic beasts are naturally of paramount importance. If they could acquire another Dark Demonic Eagle with a low-grade bloodline, it would greatly enhance their foundation.]

"What price can your Beast Taming Mountain offer?"

You asked the question.

If the price offered by Beast Taming Mountain satisfies you, you wouldn't mind selling the Dark Magic Eagle ahead of schedule.

"Master Wang, you speak," Ruan Ci said, looking at you.

"The Crystal Condensation Pill." You just blurted it out.

【"......" Ruan Ci fell silent, clearly not expecting such an outrageous demand. "Master Wang is joking. The Crystal Condensation Pill is of utmost importance..."】

The implication is that they refused.

You don't seem surprised by this at all.

"Any Core Formation spiritual item," you continued.

"Master Wang... the formation of a Core Formation Spiritual Object is not something I can decide..." Ruan Ci said with a troubled expression.

"Never mind then, Xiao Hei is a 'family member' I've raised for so many years..." You shook your head slightly.

The current "Little Black" is only in its growth stage. Its value will be at its peak when it enters maturity and becomes comparable to a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

【"OK......"】

Seeing this, Ruan Ci compromised and said, "I wonder if Master Wang would be willing to let the female eagle from my Beast Taming Mountain mate with this dark demon eagle..."

"Don't worry, Beast Taming Mountain will pay you for each mating..."

[Ruan Ci added]

Since we can't buy the Dark Demon Eagle, let's try introducing its bloodline into Beast Taming Mountain.

[Thus, hundreds or thousands of years later, perhaps a Dark Demon Eagle will awaken on Beast Taming Mountain.]

"That's easy to say." You nodded slightly.

The more noble the bloodline of a demon beast, the lower its chances of producing offspring. For example, a low-grade bloodline demon beast like the Dark Demon Eagle might only be able to produce offspring after thousands or even tens of thousands of matings.

Even if offspring are conceived, the chances of them awakening the Dark Eagle bloodline are extremely slim.

For example, even if two cultivators have a child, there is no guarantee that the child will possess spiritual root aptitude.

The Black Wind Eagle cultivated by the Ouyang family in Wushan Market contains a trace of the Dark Demon Eagle's bloodline. However, after cultivating it for over a hundred years, only this one Dark Demon Eagle has been born.

You don't mind selling 'Little Black's' mating spot?

As long as the price is right, that's fine.

"I wonder what the reward for mating is..."

Next, you and Ruan Ci discuss the breeding fee.

[After agreeing on the specific details, Ruan Ci left satisfied.]

......

[In the forty-fifth year, you are sixty-one years old]

On the second floor of the Danlou, you sit cross-legged, and within your physical body, you can faintly hear the roar of mountains and seas.

[A powerful aura of blood and qi spread out, without the use of any magic or spells. The restrictions on the second floor of the Pill Pavilion began to tremble, as if they were under immense pressure.]

["The Body Refining Technique of Mountains and Seas, Fourth Level!"]

You open your eyes, your expression invigorated, and slowly withdraw the vital energy that permeates the surroundings.

You take out a high-grade magic weapon and smash it against your arm, leaving only a faint mark.

"Now, with my physical strength alone, I can rival a cultivator in the early stages of Foundation Establishment."

A smile appeared on your face.

[If you combine this with your fifth-level Foundation Establishment cultivation, your physical body and mana will allow you to easily escape unscathed even against a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.]

"Next, if the 'Mountain and Sea Body Refining Technique' wants to break through to the fifth level, it must overcome the Body Refining 'Heavenly Tribulation'."

Your expression became slightly serious.

But there was not much fear either.

Pure body cultivators are naturally extremely wary of heavenly tribulations.

However, you are not a pure body cultivator; you are still a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator.

With a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivation level, the chances of successfully dealing with the fifth level of Body Refinement, the "Heavenly Tribulation," are extremely high.

.....

Physical breakthroughs bring you joy.

[A few days later, in the courtyard of Danlou, Shen Lingxiu was playing with Xiao Hei.]

Over the years, Shen Lingxiu has developed a strong interest in "Xiao Hei".

"I heard that Master Wang sold Xiao Hei's breeding quota to the Beast Taming Mountain..." Shen Lingxiu asked casually.

You nodded slightly.

"It is said that there is a secret technique in Beast Taming Mountain that increases the chances of a beast giving birth to offspring by consuming its potential..." Shen Lingxiu reminded her.

【"I know."】

You spoke first.

Every time Beast Taming Mountain brings a female eagle to mate, it's right under your nose, and you also check on 'Little Black' afterwards.

Just as Shen Lingxiu was about to speak...

【Om—】

A slight fluctuation emanated from the core area of ​​Azure Moon Immortal City.

This slight fluctuation was extremely subtle; only a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator could barely sense it.

【"This is?"】

Your expression was grave, and you vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

Such fluctuations originating from the core area of ​​the Immortal City are probably not a good thing.

"I'll go and find out." Shen Lingxiu immediately stood up, preparing to use her connections to investigate the source of the disturbance.

[You should do the same; ask Elder Wu immediately.]

Elder Wu is one of the four elders of the Pill Hall, belonging to the top group of cultivators below the True Person level.

Soon, you will learn the source of the fluctuation from Elder Wu.

[The failure of True Immortal Biyue to advance to the late stage of Core Formation caused disorder in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which in turn caused this fluctuation.]
