I have a cultivation simulator

Chapter 69 Second-Order Great Eagle

"Immortal Biyue...failed to break through to the late stage of Core Formation?"

You pondered to yourself, "Several years ago, you noticed that the Immortal City Cave was starting to reduce its rentals."

At the time, you speculated that perhaps it was Biyue Zhenren making preparations for her own breakthrough.

In retrospect, this is indeed the case.

"There's nothing to worry about; the Immortal City will not descend into chaos."

Elder Wu looked at you and said calmly.

【"Um."】

You nodded slightly, showing little doubt about what Elder Wu had said.

First of all, Master Biyue only failed to break through her cultivation level; she did not die.

Even if the breakthrough fails, True Person Biyue is still a True Person in the mid-stage of Core Formation, enough to suppress everything in the Immortal City.

Secondly, in your previous two simulations, due to limitations in your own cultivation level and the influence of your social circle, you were unable to know that True Person Biyue had failed to break through to the later stages.

However, you are well aware of the current situation in Azure Moon Immortal City.

Whether it's the first simulation where you live to be seventy-seven or the second simulation where you live to be eighty-two, you've never heard of any major upheaval or changes in the city's defenses in Biyue Immortal City.

[In the current third simulation, you are only sixty-one years old. Based on the second simulation, the Azure Moon Immortal City will be extremely stable for the next twenty-one years.]

In other words, the failure of True Immortal Biyue to break through will not have any significant impact, and Biyue Immortal City will not experience any turmoil as a result.

"The path of cultivation is fraught with difficulties..."

Returning to Danlou, you sit in the courtyard, filled with emotion.

Even a powerful cultivator like Master Biyue, who established Biyue Immortal City in the Taiyuan Domain, providing a haven for countless rogue cultivators, still failed to break through to the next level.

"Late stage of Core Formation... Late stage of Foundation Establishment..."

[Your gaze is profound. Whether it's the Core Formation stage, the Foundation Establishment stage, or even the Qi Refining stage, the difficulty of breaking through from the mid to late stage is second only to breaking through a major realm.]

"Master Wang..."

After gathering the information, Shen Lingxiu entered, led by her maid Chunhua.

[You and Shen Lingxiu exchanged information for a while, and the information you gathered was basically the same.]

"I heard that Fellow Daoist Shen will be participating in the inspection of the Immortal City's grand formation in a while..." You looked at Shen Lingxiu and asked.

The protective array of Azure Moon Immortal City is composed of countless arrays fused together. Every so often, the array master needs to check it to prevent any localized vulnerabilities from appearing.

"This time, it's the Vice Hall Master who's leading us..." Shen Lingxiu said with a slight smile.

Being able to personally experience the protective array of Azure Moon Immortal City is an irresistible temptation for any array master.

"However, for the next few years, I won't be able to exchange ideas on array formations with Master Wang..." Shen Lingxiu sighed, then took out a jar of spirit wine. "Master Wang, have a drink with me."

Shen Lingxiu poured herself a full cup and drank it in one gulp.

You glanced at the full wine glass in front of you, a flash of your magical power instantly appearing. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the spirit wine, you took a sip.

Brewing is also one of the many arts of cultivation. High-quality spiritual wine has effects on cultivators that are no less than those of elixirs.

However, the brewing process for spirit wine is complicated and not as convenient as that for making elixirs.

"Master Wang, are you really not planning to find a Daoist partner?" After drinking several cups of spiritual wine, a faint blush rose on Shen Lingxiu's delicate face.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, I truly have no interest in a Daoist partner..." you said truthfully.

For someone like you who can simulate infinitely, a Daoist partner is indeed unnecessary.

"So, Fellow Daoist Wang, you're not interested in me either?" Shen Lingxiu stood up, moved closer to you, her slender arm hooked around your neck, her gaze hazy, and emboldened by the alcohol, her behavior became bolder.

Because of her past experiences, Shen Lingxiu doesn't place much importance on outward appearances, but rather values ​​a cultivator's inner qualities, such as character.

"To you..." You looked earnestly at Shen Lingxiu, "Fellow Daoist Shen, have you thought this through? I'm not looking for a Daoist partner."

If your relationship with Shen Lingxiu is merely a fleeting affair, you would naturally accept it gladly.

"Daoist partner..." Shen Lingxiu tilted her head slightly, leaning against you. You could clearly feel the perfect curves of this genius array master's body.

"Had she fallen asleep?" You glanced at Shen Lingxiu.

Even a Foundation Establishment cultivator would get drunk if they didn't use their magic power to dispel the alcohol from the spirit wine.

You picked up Shen Lingxiu, thought for a moment, and then decided not to take advantage of the situation to make your move.

It's not that you're indifferent to worldly desires, but rather that you value Shen Lingxiu's guidance in the art of formations even more.

[Comprehending the art of array formations is inherently difficult. It's rare to find a genius array master willing to wholeheartedly guide you in the art. If you let momentary desires create a rift between you and them, it would be a huge loss.]

You are not a creature driven by your lower body. For you, self-improvement is the primary goal. Even if you need to release physical desires, it's done without affecting your well-being.

[Shen Lingxiu was arranged to rest on the third floor of the Danlou Pavilion.]

You return to the courtyard, observing the Dark Eagle.

"Master, Lin Yu has come to see you..." the maid Chunhua whispered.

["Lin Yu?" You raised an eyebrow.]

Lin Yu was Shen Lingxiu's childhood sweetheart; they were betrothed since they were young.

[It was only because Shen Lingxiu's parents died early that Lin Yu's family began to seize Shen Lingxiu's family property.]

Fortunately, thanks to the contingency plan left by her parents, Shen Lingxiu successfully established her foundation and became a second-tier array master, joining the Array Hall.

Compared to Shen Lingxiu, the Lin family declined rapidly, so Lin Yu began to pursue his childhood sweetheart relentlessly, hoping to use Shen Lingxiu's connections to revive the Lin family.

You step out of the courtyard and see Lin Yu looking anxious.

"Master Wang, I have something important to discuss with Xiuxiu. I hope you can tell her..." Lin Yu said immediately.

"Fellow Daoist Shen... doesn't want to see you," you said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu didn't suspect anything, because Shen Lingxiu deeply resented Lin Yu for embezzling family assets.

"Master Wang, have any other male cultivators appeared around Xiuxiu recently?" Lin Yu asked again.

"Besides me, there shouldn't be anyone else," you said truthfully.

"That's good." Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief. He trusted this round-faced, greasy-bearded middle-aged alchemist completely. He then handed over a mid-grade spirit stone before turning to leave.

Half a day later, Shen Lingxiu woke up with a blush on her face and quickly took her leave.

......

[In the forty-sixth year, you are sixty-two years old. True Immortal Biyue failed to break through to the late stage, causing some commotion among cultivators above the mid-Foundation stage in the Immortal City, but it quickly subsided.]

[True Master Biyue is currently over three hundred years old, and there is still a long time before the end of her lifespan. Even if she fails to break through, it will not be a big deal.]

[In the forty-seventh year, you are sixty-three years old. With the continuous nurturing of the Dark Demon Eagle, this Earth-grade bloodline demon beast gradually reaches the peak of its growth stage.]

You realize that the Dark Eagle is about to advance to the second tier and enter the mature stage.

In the forty-eighth year, at the age of sixty-four, you rented a breakthrough cave for the Dark Demon Eagle in the Cave Dwelling District of Azure Moon Immortal City.

[When a demonic beast breaks through to the second tier, it mainly relies on its own bloodline and dependence on the external environment, which is not as effective as when a human cultivator breaks through to the Foundation Establishment stage.]

However, a favorable spiritual energy environment will definitely be helpful, and you certainly wouldn't let the Dark Eagle's advancement be affected by unexpected changes just to save a few spirit stones.
