I Have a Cultivation Simulator

[Panting heavily after their frenzy, Jiang Jixue gazed at the man beside her who had brought her an unprecedented experience.]

[You had resided on Xuanwang Island for decades. Over the past dozen or so years, as a series of unforeseen events struck the Jiang Family, Jiang Jixue had suffered one heavy blow after another.]

[If it weren't for you, Jiang Jixue's life would certainly not be easy right now, even if she were still the Jiang Family Matriarch.]

[After decades of acquaintance and over a dozen years of your staunch support, Jiang Jixue naturally recognized your capabilities.]

[That was why she had taken the initiative to push for this final step today.]

[Your existence was Jiang Jixue's anchor, so she naturally wanted to do everything possible to ensure you would stand behind her.]

[ "Alchemist Wang is so fierce. You must have experienced quite a few female cultivators..." ]

[Jiang Jixue's pretty face flushed, overcome with involuntary shyness.]

[ "You must be joking, Jixue. I actually still possess my primal yang in reality." ]

[The reality you meant was not the simulation, but reality in the truest sense.]

[Although you had been with countless women in the simulation, you still retained your virgin body in reality.]

[You were completely pure and unsullied.]

[ "Hmph..." ]

[Jiang Jixue clearly didn't believe you, but she didn't press the matter.]

[This was the charm of a mature female cultivator; she knew better than to pry.]

[Nestling in your embrace, Jiang Jixue asked, "Alchemist Wang, your cultivation can't just be at the Early Golden Core Stage, right...?" ]

[During the madness just now, even though it was Jiang Jixue's first time, she had barely been able to endure your onslaught.]

[After all, Jiang Jixue was a Late-Stage Great True Person. Even without specializing in body refinement, a physique nourished by Golden Core magic power would not be weak.]

[ "So you saw through it, Jixue. By a stroke of luck, I stepped into the Mid Golden Core Stage not too long ago." ]

[You said casually.]

[ "The Mid Golden Core Stage?" ]

[Jiang Jixue's beautiful eyes lit up slightly.]

[The timing of your breakthrough to the Core Formation Stage in the Taiyuan Region was no secret.]

[It had only been a little over a century since then.]

[To progress from the early stage to the mid stage in a mere hundred years meant there was a small chance of a Mid-Grade Golden Core, and a high probability of a High-Grade Gold Core.]

[ "Is Alchemist Wang's core quality a High-Grade Gold Core?" ]

[Jiang Jixue probed carefully.]

[The quality of a cultivator's Golden Core was an absolute secret.]

[If it weren't for the fact that she now shared the most intimate of relationships with you, Jiang Jixue would not have asked so rashly.]

[ "Close enough." ]

[You nodded slightly.]

[ "So that's how it is..." ]

[Jiang Jixue smiled sweetly.]

[She had long speculated about the quality of your Golden Core.]

[Decades ago, you had spoken with Jiang Jixue about borrowing Xuanwang Island's Tier-4 spirit vein to prepare for your breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm.]

[At that time, you were merely at the Early Golden Core Stage.]

[To have thoughts of attempting a Nascent Soul breakthrough while only at the Early Golden Core Stage meant it was highly likely you had formed a High-Grade Gold Core.]

[And only a High-Grade Gold Core offered a strong hope of reaching the Late Golden Core Stage.]

[ "Rest assured, Alchemist Wang. I have already reported the matter of you borrowing the spirit vein to Venerable Xuan... Given the length of Venerable Xuan's slumber, he should meet with you in a few years..." ]

[Jiang Jixue lay in your embrace, her figure slender and graceful.]

[In this position, you could clearly feel the softness and smoothness of her body.]

[ "Venerable Xuan wants to see me..." ]

[You weren't surprised by this at all.]

[Even though the Tier-4 spirit vein cave abode on Xuanwang Island was formed by gathering the spiritual energy of most cave abodes on the island, and using it wouldn't affect Venerable Xuan's cultivation or slumber...]

[...Xuanwang Island was, after all, Venerable Xuan's territory.]

[Any cultivator attempting to break through to the Nascent Soul realm on the island would definitely need Venerable Xuan's nod of approval.]

[Otherwise, anyone would reject having an expert of the same tier inexplicably emerge on their turf.]

[Even in the Taiyuan Region or the Zixiao Domain, one would definitely need the tacit approval of a true lord to use a Tier-4 spirit vein to attempt a Nascent Soul breakthrough.]

[Not long ago, when Jiang Jixue's grandfather attempted his Nascent Soul breakthrough, Venerable Xuan had even awakened briefly.]

[ "Venerable Xuan will just meet you once to confirm that you have no connection with those enemies. With our relationship, Alchemist Wang, Venerable Xuan won't raise any issues..." ]

[Jiang Jixue said softly, her eyes like vast, misty lakes.]

[ "In addition, I'll plead with Venerable Xuan to give you some guidance and see where you might be lacking. The physical body? The divine soul? This is a privilege usually reserved for the core members of the Jiang Family..." ]

[Jiang Jixue said, as if claiming credit.]

[Receiving guidance from a true lord before a Nascent Soul breakthrough to make up for one's shortcomings was indeed a privilege only core members of Nascent Soul-tier factions enjoyed.]

[Nascent Soul True Monarchs had gone through the breakthrough process themselves and knew exactly which aspects were crucial. The guidance of true lords could save a true person from taking countless detours.]

[ "Guidance from Venerable Xuan?" ]

[You immediately realized that Jiang Jixue now completely viewed you as one of her own.]

[ "Thank you, Jixue..." ]

[You said earnestly.]

[How precious was the time of a Nascent Soul True Monarch? Given the relationship between the Jiang Family and Venerable Xuan, it wasn't surprising that the latter would guide core members of the Jiang Family.]

[But a true person outside the Jiang Family? Even Jiang Jixue would probably have to plead for a long time to get Venerable Xuan to do so.]

[As for the relationship between Venerable Xuan and the Jiang and Wan families... you had already learned of it from Jiang Jixue over the years.]

[Thousands of years ago, Venerable Xuan had merely been a Tier-2 profound turtle. At that time, the ancestor of the Jiang and Wan families was a Core Formation Stage true person.]

[Back then, Venerable Xuan still lived in Xuanwang Lake. He encountered a fatal danger and was ultimately saved by the ancestors of the Jiang and Wan families.]

[As time passed, the true person ancestors of the Jiang and Wan families had long since passed away in meditation, but Venerable Xuan grew step by step within Xuanwang Lake until he became a Tier-4 beast king.]

[Following that, Venerable Xuan used the bloodline connection from those days to track down several members of the Jiang and Wan families, allowing them to live on Xuanwang Island while he provided them with protection.]

[To Venerable Xuan, the Jiang Family and the Wan Family were tantamount to his own descendants.]

[ "Even someone as strong as Venerable Xuan has enemies?" ]

[You asked out of curiosity.]

[Venerable Xuan was an entity that even True Monarch Zixu and the Seven Killings Demon Lord were unwilling to provoke.]

[Moreover, having lived for thousands of years, he possessed at least the peak strength of the early Nascent Soul realm.]

[Coupled with the fact that as a turtle-type beast king he excelled at defense, even if several early-stage true lords joined forces, they likely wouldn't be able to do anything to him.]

[ "That eagle king in the deepest part of the Myriad Beast Mountain Range really doesn't get along with Venerable Xuan. Venerable Xuan hates him... There are also true lords from a few major regions..." ]

[Jiang Jixue relayed everything she knew to you in full detail.]

[ "The eagle king in the deepest part of the Myriad Beast Mountain Range..." ]

[You were secretly alarmed. This eagle king was bound to be a Tier-4 avian beast king.]

[This was your first time learning specific information about the beast kings in the deepest parts of the Myriad Beast Mountain Range.]

[In the past, you only knew there were traces of Tier-4 beast kings in the deepest reaches of the Myriad Beast Mountain Range, but you weren't certain exactly which beast kings they were.]

[ "What about that beast king with a True Spirit Bloodline..." ]

[You asked.]

[ "That beast king with a True Spirit Bloodline isn't the eagle king, but it should also be an avian beast king. Venerable Xuan's perception of avian beast kings is very sharp..." ]

[Jiang Jixue's tone was soft and languid.]

[One day later.]

[You stood up to take your leave.]

[This was the longest time you had ever stayed at the Jiang Family.]

[In the past, when you came over to taste tea, you would stay for half a day at most.]

[Rumble—]

[Jiang Jixue opened the hall doors for you and personally saw you out.]

[Walking out of the great hall, you were in a wonderful mood, unable to stop reminiscing about the lingering intimacy from earlier.]

[After begging for mercy the first time, Jiang Jixue hadn't been resigned and intended to win back her pride. So, she took the initiative to attack, wanting to pin you beneath her to salvage her dignity as the Jiang Family Matriarch.]

[But in the end, she was still thoroughly routed by your conquest.]

[If it weren't for the nourishment of her Late Golden Core Stage magic power, Jiang Jixue probably wouldn't even be able to get out of bed right now.]

[Somewhere outside the hall.]

[The Jiang Family Patriarch, Jiang Wang, wore a twisted expression on his face, even losing some control over the magic power within his body.]

[ "It's different. Jixue is different..." ]

[Jiang Wang couldn't believe it, his fists clenched tightly.]

[Over the past few years, although Jiang Jixue would occasionally close the hall doors...]

[...she had never seen you out when you left.]

[But this time was different; Jiang Jixue had gotten up to personally see you out.]

[Furthermore, relying on his past understanding of his beloved dao companion, Jiang Wang could clearly detect the change in Jiang Jixue's attitude toward you.]

[ "Jixue..." ]

[Jiang Wang felt as if his heart was being wrung dry. He was almost certain that his once-beloved dao companion had betrayed him.]

[Taking a deep breath, Jiang Wang's mind churned with chaotic thoughts. He actually developed the urge to throw caution to the wind and fight you to the death.]

[As a former Late Golden Core Stage Great True Person, Jiang Wang naturally knew many life-risking secret techniques.]

[Over the years, he had cultivated to the peak of Foundation Establishment. If he disregarded everything, burned his origin, and launched a sudden sneak attack from the shadows, he still had a chance of injuring an Early Golden Core Stage true person.]

[However, all these desperate thoughts were ultimately suppressed.]

[Even if he sacrificed everything, what would it matter if he managed to injure you?]

[Jiang Jixue could never come back, and to pay the price of his life just to injure you...]

[Jiang Wang decided to endure silently.]

[ "Endure, endure, endure!" ]

[ "As long as I restore my cultivation to the Late Golden Core Stage, Jixue will surely still acknowledge me as her dao companion..." ]

[Jiang Wang was just about to turn and leave, intending to channel his grief and indignation into strength.]

[But he found a figure standing quietly not far away.]

[It was you.]

[ "Al... Alchemist Wang..." ]

[Jiang Wang was terrified, but on the surface, he still put on a stuttering display, doing his best to maintain his current persona.]

[He knew very well that he absolutely couldn't expose his identity right now.]

[ "Mhm..." ]

[You stared at Jiang Wang, a hint of strangeness faintly showing in your gaze.]

[Having advanced to the Late Golden Core Stage, your divine sense had been further strengthened. Naturally, you noticed Jiang Wang's gaze after stepping out of the great hall.]

[If it were just his gaze, you wouldn't have thought much of it; countless people were watching you across the entire Xuanwang Island.]

[But the emotions Jiang Wang harbored toward you were far too intense. You even sensed that the moment he saw Jiang Jixue walking you out, the magic power in his body showed signs of going berserk.]

[This was clearly abnormal.]

[ "So that's how it is... After the Jiang Family Patriarch managed to escape with his life, he actually performed soul possession on a Jiang Family member and has been hiding within the Jiang Family all this time..." ]

[You stared at Jiang Wang, continuously divining with the Hexagram Casting Art.]

[With the Jiang Family Patriarch right in front of you, and given the slight suspicions you had already formed, the information you obtained through Divination naturally grew more and more abundant.]

[For Divination arts, the medium of information was extremely important and could drastically lower the difficulty of the reading.]

[Now that the Jiang Family Patriarch was standing right in front of you, combined with the fact that over ten years had passed, the effectiveness of the item he used back then to obscure the heavenly secrets was fading.]

[Because of this, you were able to divine the crucial information.]

[ "Mhm." ]

[You cast one last look at Jiang Wang and said nothing more.]

[After returning to your cave abode, you fell into a brief contemplation.]

[Given your current relationship with Jiang Jixue, once the Jiang Family Patriarch successfully recovered, he would most likely harbor intense hostility toward you.]

[In other words, if you did nothing, you would gain a Late Golden Core Stage enemy in the future.]

[ "Forget it, it's better to strike first." ]

[You had no hesitation; you were already thinking about how the Jiang Family Patriarch should die.]

[Right now, the Jiang Family Patriarch was only at the peak of Foundation Establishment and didn't dare to reveal his identity for fear of retaliation.]

[With your methods, there were naturally a thousand ways to make him die an inexplicable death.]

[Year 133. You were 149 years old.]

[You successfully refined a batch of Tier-3 top-grade pills, advancing to become a Tier-3 High-Grade Alchemist.]

[The art of alchemy became increasingly difficult to improve upon later on. It was said that the refining of Tier-4 or even Tier-5 grand pills no longer relied on conventional pill furnaces, but instead used the power of heaven and earth to refine them.]

[In the eyes of high-level alchemists, the entire world was an unprecedented pill furnace.]

[Year 134. You were 150 years old.]

[You received a message from Jiang Jixue saying that Venerable Xuan had awakened, asking you to hurry over.]

[You immediately headed to the Jiang Family.]

[Deep within the Jiang Family estate, beside a deep pool.]

[Jiang Jixue stood respectfully to the side. By the pool sat a bald old man with a white beard.]

[This old man didn't exude any aura, sitting there like a rock. He was dressed in extremely garish clothes and lacked even the slightest hint of majesty.]

[He held a fishing pole in his hands, looking just like an ordinary mortal fishing.]

[Yet, Jiang Jixue stood there with the utmost reverence.]

[ "Little Xue, you want me to guide your little lover?" ]

[The bald old man with the white beard glanced at Jiang Jixue. "Even if he knows his flaws, what can he do? Once one reaches the Core Formation Stage, many hidden dangers and flaws can no longer be made up for." ]

[ "If you ask me, it would be better not to attempt a Nascent Soul breakthrough. That way, he can live for a few more years." ]

[The bald old man with the white beard said casually.]

[ "Venerable Xuan..." ]

[Jiang Jixue's face turned pale as she continued to plead.]

[ "Fine, fine... Sigh, when will you people finally understand that only true geniuses have any hope of reaching the Nascent Soul realm, and the vast majority of cultivators are not true geniuses..." ]

[The bald old man with the white beard waved his hand. "Let your little lover come over." ]

[ "Thank you, Venerable Xuan..." ]

[Jiang Jixue was overjoyed.]

[She immediately turned around and left.]

[ "Alchemist Wang..." ]

[Upon seeing you, Jiang Jixue led you toward the depths of the Jiang Family estate.]

[Your expression was solemn. Across four simulations, this was your first time seeing a true lord up close.]

[More accurately, a Tier-4 beast king.]

[Soon, under Jiang Jixue's guidance, you arrived beside the pool deep within the Jiang Family estate.]

[At the same time, you also saw the bald old man with a white beard dressed in garish clothing.]

[Once demonic beasts reached Tier 4, they all gained the ability to take on human form, so you weren't surprised.]

[ "Greetings, Senior Venerable Xuan." ]

[Your heart trembled slightly as you bowed in greeting.]

[The bald old man with the white beard had his back to you, then turned his head to cast a glance at you.]

[ "Hmm?" ]

[The bald old man with the white beard was momentarily stunned.]

[He looked at you again.]

[As if noticing something.]

[He looked at you a third time.]

[Finally, he just stared directly at you.]

[He fell into a rare silence.]
