I Have a Cultivation Simulator

One month later.

Less than a few thousand li from Biyue Immortal City, a figure rode a sky-blue streak of light through the clouds, flying at high speed.

"Biyue Immortal City!"

This figure was, of course, Zhou Qing.

After settling his family affairs in the mortal world, Zhou Qing had hurried toward Biyue Immortal City without stopping to rest.

Biyue Immortal City was where Zhou Qing planned to settle down during his second simulation.

Over the nearly hundred years of his second simulation, he had secretly observed the city and found no signs of any looming crises.

True Person Biyue was a Master of the Core Formation Realm, and his influence radiated across a vast stretch of the surrounding region.

Even Masters of the same tier had to show True Person Biyue respect.

Information about True Person Biyue flashed through Zhou Qing's mind.

True Person Biyue had started as an independent cultivator and reached Core Formation a hundred and fifty-seven years ago.

After his breakthrough, Taiyuan Palace invited him to become a Guest Elder.

He refused.

Taiyuan Palace was a Nascent Soul-level superpower and the true ruler of this region.

Centered around Taiyuan Palace, the area spanning a radius of over a million li was known as the Taiyuan Region. Whether it was Wushan Market, Tingyu Market, factions like Beast Taming Mountain, or Biyue Immortal City itself, all of them fell within the borders of the Taiyuan Region.

To the west of the Taiyuan Region lay the Jiuyou Domain, which fell under the influence of the Jiuyou Demonic Cult.

...

True Person Biyue had rejected Taiyuan Palace's invitation and built Biyue Immortal City as an independent cultivator.

When the city was first founded, cultivators with strong backgrounds frequently caused trouble, but True Person Biyue dealt with them severely. Over the next hundred-plus years, Biyue Immortal City rapidly flourished into the largest gathering place for independent cultivators in the Taiyuan Region.

Law enforcement here treated everyone equally, refusing to show favoritism to those with powerful backgrounds.

They were even willing to handle disputes from the perspective of independent cultivators.

Furthermore, True Person Biyue enjoyed an excellent reputation, and his character was considered trustworthy.

Coupled with the fact that no dangerous incidents would occur in the next few decades, and that the city provided spiritual vein cave dwellings of all tiers, these numerous factors were why Zhou Qing ultimately chose Biyue Immortal City as his permanent residence in reality.

...

Soon, Zhou Qing caught sight of the towering Biyue Immortal City.

Even though he had visited it in his second simulation, he was still somewhat shaken by the sight.

The entire city covered hundreds of li, crouching on the land like an ancient true spirit beast.

Swish, swish, swish—

Streaks of light descended from the clouds, heading toward the city.

These lights were naturally Foundation Establishment cultivators.

In his second simulation, Zhou Qing had also seen quite a few Foundation Establishment cultivators when he arrived at Biyue Immortal City.

But back then, he had looked up to them in awe, not even daring to stare for too long.

Now, however, he looked upon them as equals.

"Hmm?"

Just then, Zhou Qing's expression shifted slightly. High above the clouds, a streak of light radiating immense spiritual pressure flashed past, flying directly over the city gates.

Is that... a Master? Zhou Qing thought to himself. Only a Master of the Core Formation Realm had the right to enter the city directly without passing through the gates.

...

Zhou Qing was no Master, so he naturally had to obediently enter through the gates.

However, unlike the Qi Refining cultivators waiting in line, Foundation Establishment cultivators used a separate entrance that required no queuing.

The attitude of the guards was also far more respectful.

For this trip to Biyue Immortal City, Zhou Qing had naturally disguised himself.

The appearance he showed the world was that of a remarkably ordinary middle-aged man.

This was a necessary precaution; otherwise, if he had revealed his true face without a disguise, he would have stood out far too much.

After all, Zhou Qing was just too young.

His real age was less than seventeen.

Even in Biyue Immortal City, that would cause a sensation.

Granted, in the cultivation world, a cultivator's age couldn't be judged by their appearance alone, especially with means like Face Retaining Pills.

But one less trouble is better than one more.

His disguised appearance was much more inconspicuous.

The disguise technique Zhou Qing used involved shifting his facial muscles and contracting his bones.

Because it didn't rely on any spiritual power or spells, even a Master would find it hard to see through. In a way, this was also Zhou Qing's true face.

Relying on his experience from his second simulation, Zhou Qing headed straight for the inner city's cave dwelling district after entering the gates.

I wonder where Alchemist Zhao Kan is right now? The thought crossed Zhou Qing's mind as he walked into the inner city.

At this point in time, Alchemist Zhao Kan should have just recently advanced to a Tier Two Alchemist, though Zhou Qing didn't know exactly where he was.

Despite his curiosity, Zhou Qing had no intention of asking around about the man.

If he wanted to investigate, he would do so in the simulation. In reality, Zhou Qing needed to minimize his impact as much as possible to ensure that future events unfolded without any unexpected variables.

Upon entering the cave dwelling district, a female receptionist cultivator immediately came up to greet him.

"Take me to see the Tier Two High-Grade cave dwellings," Zhou Qing said in a raspy voice.

Soon, led by the receptionist, Zhou Qing entered a Tier Two High-Grade cave dwelling.

The spiritual energy inside a Tier Two High-Grade cave dwelling was so dense it was almost tangible, perfectly suited for the daily cultivation of experts in the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

Zhou Qing obviously wasn't looking at this tier of cave dwelling for cultivation. He just wanted to see how much his simulation cooldown would decrease in the spiritual energy environment of a Tier Two High-Grade cave dwelling.

Tier Two High-Grade cave dwelling... the final cooldown time has been reduced to five months and twenty-two days! Zhou Qing glanced at the illusory text at the bottom of his vision, confirming the final cooldown time for his simulation attempts.

Under normal circumstances, in a spiritually barren environment like the Mortal world, the cooldown time stretched to a full two and a half years.

In a first-tier mid-grade spiritual vein environment, it was nine months and twenty-three days.

Before coming to Biyue Immortal City, Zhou Qing had spent two or three months in the Mortal world.

Therefore, the total cooldown time in a Tier Two High-Grade spiritual vein environment should be longer than five months and twenty-two days, but definitely within six months.

"Take me to see the Tier Two Mid-Grade cave dwellings next," Zhou Qing said calmly.

A cooldown of six months and nineteen days... Zhou Qing looked at the illusory text as he stepped into the Tier Two Mid-Grade cave dwelling.

Following that, Zhou Qing took a trip to a second-tier low-grade cave dwelling.

The final cooldown time he got there was seven months and three days.

Truthfully, Zhou Qing wanted to go check out the third-tier cave dwellings as well.

But after careful consideration, he decided against it.

He was just a Foundation Establishment cultivator. What business did he have looking at third-tier cave dwellings? It would draw too much attention.

And what if he did look? He wasn't actually going to rent one.

Biyue Immortal City was built on a large-scale Tier Three Spiritual Vein, making every third-tier cave dwelling incredibly precious. A Foundation Establishment cultivator trying to rent one would probably attract the gaze of a Master.

"I'll rent a second-tier low-grade cave dwelling for eight months for my daily cultivation," Zhou Qing said, looking at the receptionist after a moment of thought.

The difference in the final cooldown time between the three grades of Tier Two cave dwellings was only ten to twenty days.

There was no need for Zhou Qing to force himself to rent a cave dwelling that didn't match his strength just to shave off a few days of cooldown time.
