I Have a Cultivation Simulator

Knowing full well that Ye Feng would reap a massive harvest after entering the secret realm, your choice was very simple. While everyone else's goal was the wealth of resources and opportunities inside...

Your target was Ye Feng.

You only needed to wait at the secret realm's exit until Ye Feng came out.

Soon, Ye Feng arrived at the entrance of the Cloud Sea Secret Realm.

At this moment, a large number of cultivators had already gathered at the entrance, though they were basically all in the Qi Refining Realm.

Since the secret realm had only just appeared, news of it had not spread far yet. Few knew that it had once been managed by the Sea of Clouds Sect, a Core Formation faction from centuries ago.

You watched Ye Feng enter the secret realm.

The entrance was located between two massive stone pillars.

Its specific form was a giant gray vortex.

You stared at the gray vortex, faintly sensing the aura of heaven and earth from an ancient era.

The reason secret realms were so precious was that they preserved certain special environments from ancient times. The spiritual energy was dense, and many spirit herbs and plants that had long since vanished with the passage of time still grew inside.

Coupled with the management and modifications of the Sea of Clouds Sect, it was perfectly suited to serve as a major faction's stronghold.

You could guess that centuries ago, a core formation master of the Sea of Clouds Sect had used immense magic power to sever this secret realm's connection to the outside world.

But as time passed, the sealing spell gradually lost its effectiveness, causing the entrance to reappear and ultimately be discovered by nearby cultivators.

You began to wait at the entrance.

Recalling your conversation with Ye Feng during the previous simulation, when he visited the Yun Family Alchemy Shop as a Qi Refining Late Stage cultivator...

...you deduced that he must be severely injured upon leaving the secret realm this time.

A Qi Refining Third Layer cultivator, severely injured, who did not even know of your existence.

Meanwhile, you were at the Qi Refining Sixth Layer, hiding in the dark.

You could not imagine any possibility of failure.

At the very least, you would survive.

It would be no big deal to abandon your identity in Wushan Market and find somewhere else to hide.

Nearly half a month passed in the blink of an eye. More and more cultivators gathered at the entrance. Clearly, given more time, it would not be surprising to see Foundation Establishment cultivators drawn here.

"Fellow Daoist, are you interested in some intelligence regarding this secret realm?"

While you were waiting, a scrawny man approached and asked in a low voice.

"Intelligence about the secret realm?"

You looked at the scrawny man. "How many spirit stones?"

"Five hundred spirit stones."

The scrawny man lowered his voice further. "My intelligence is definitely worth the price. Knowing this will absolutely net you great benefits inside."

"Five hundred spirit stones? That is too expensive."

You instantly lost interest.

In truth, you could afford that amount.

But there was no need.

The intelligence the scrawny man offered was time-sensitive.

The earlier you bought it, the more expensive it was.

If you did not buy it now, but instead waited ten or twenty years in the simulation to buy it, it might only cost a few spirit stones.

In any case, your only interest in this simulation was Ye Feng. Buying that intelligence early or late made no difference.

You continued to wait patiently.

You did not know exactly when Ye Feng would come out.

But preparing for the worst, you would just have to wait here for several years.

Several years later, the secret realm would be drained of its resources by the masses of cultivators and lose its value.

You could afford to wait a few years.

Time ticked by. Several more days passed.

Hordes of cultivators went in, and many came out.

Most of the cultivators who came out had suffered varying degrees of injury.

Inside the secret realm, one not only had to contend with its natural dangers but also guard against other cultivators.

Just as you were wondering whether you should start selling some healing pills...

...your expression suddenly changed.

You distinctly felt the tracking mark you had planted on Ye Feng suddenly appear several li away.

The essence of a secret realm was a special space independent of heaven and earth, capable of isolating the inside from the outside.

Because of this, once Ye Feng entered the secret realm, you had lost your tracking connection to him.

"There is another exit to this secret realm?"

You looked in a certain direction several li away, stood up without hesitation, and left.

Your departure did not draw the attention of any surrounding cultivators.

Perhaps there were people secretly watching the cultivators exiting the secret realm...

...but since you had never entered the secret realm from start to finish, naturally, no one paid you any mind.

Following the tracking spell's connection, you quickly crossed those few li and spotted Ye Feng.

At this moment, Ye Feng's aura and appearance had drastically changed; he now looked like an old man. If not for the tracking spell, you might have actually been fooled.

Looking closer, you noticed that his aura was terribly weak, having plummeted to the level of a Mortal. He even struggled just to walk.

Had you not known beforehand, you would never have believed this person was a cultivator.

You concealed your aura and began to approach, stopping only when you were within fifty meters.

Even now, Ye Feng still had not noticed you.

Hum—

With a mere thought, you activated an upper-grade Golden Needle Talisman.

An upper-grade Golden Needle Talisman could unleash an attack at the Qi Refining Late Stage.

Furthermore, as a spiritual talisman, it could be activated instantly, leaving the enemy zero time to react.

Acting on the principle that a lion uses its full strength even to catch a rabbit, you held absolutely nothing back.

The talisman's power triggered in a flash, condensing into a golden needle that shot toward Ye Feng in complete silence.

With a dull thump.

Ye Feng's head was pierced straight through by the golden needle.

He collapsed to the ground.

Throughout the process, no variables or accidents occurred.

Ye Feng—the man destined to become a great cultivator at Qi Refining Perfection decades later—died just like that in a forgotten corner.

You quickly stepped up, thoroughly looted his body, and then erased all traces by incinerating the corpse with a Fireball spell.

Half a shichen later.

You sat cross-legged within a secluded forest.

With a flip of your right hand, Ye Feng's Storage Bag appeared before you.

You swiftly erased the mark Ye Feng had left on it and sent your consciousness inside.

"Xuanyin Grass, Xuanyang Fruit..."

You could not help but hold your breath. Dozens of spirit herbs lay inside the bag. As an alchemist, you recognized almost all of them. Every single one was at least First-Rank High-Grade, and a large portion were Tier Two.

Tier Two corresponded to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

If they were merely Tier Two spirit herbs, you would not be this shocked. The key was that the Tier Two spirit herbs in the bag were all exceptionally rare.

For instance, the Xuanyin Grass and Xuanyang Fruit were Tier Two High-Grade spirit herbs—primary ingredients for refining Foundation Establishment Pills.

There were three primary ingredients required for Foundation Establishment Pills, which were basically monopolized by the major factions. Xuanyin Grass and Xuanyang Fruit were two of them.

These dozens of spirit herbs accounted for more than half of the primary and auxiliary ingredients needed to refine a Foundation Establishment Pill.

"Six mid-grade artifacts, three high-grade artifacts, and even a flying artifact..."

Qi Refining cultivators generally used low-grade and mid-grade artifacts. As for high-grade and peak-grade artifacts, only Foundation Establishment cultivators had the ability to wield them.

'I'm rich...'

This was the only thought in your mind.

Any random high-grade artifact was worth over a thousand spirit stones, and there were a full three sitting in this Storage Bag.

"What is this?"

While taking inventory, you found a ring nestled inside.

The ring was sky-blue with faint crimson threads flowing through it. You vaguely remembered that during the first simulation, when Ye Feng visited Alchemist Yun, he was wearing this exact ring.

"Could this be a legendary storage ring?"

Your spirits lifted again. The spatial capacity inside a storage ring far exceeded that of a simple Storage Bag.

You took out the sky-blue ring, poured your magic power into it, and attempted to refine it.

In an instant, the sky-blue ring began to tremble faintly, and an ancient voice drifted from the ring into your ears.

"A grand dream spanning thousands of autumns; what year is it this eve?"

"Brat, was it you who woke me?"

You blanked for a moment.

A portable grandpa?
