I Have a Cultivation Simulator

"Mid-Grade Spirit Root!" Seeing this, Zhou Qing's spirit surged.

In his previous two simulations, his Low-Grade Spirit Root aptitude had severely restricted his cultivation speed.

Different spiritual root aptitudes determined the efficiency of refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

To produce a single strand of magic power, a cultivator with a Low-Grade Spirit Root needed to refine a hundred strands of spiritual energy.

A Mid-Grade Spirit Root cultivator only needed eighty strands.

Over months and years, that difference of twenty strands would compound into a staggering gap.

Elevating his spiritual root aptitude from a Low-Grade to a Mid-Grade Spirit Root might not show much impact over three or five years.

But stretched over twenty or fifty years? Eighty or a hundred? That was perhaps the difference of an entire realm.

And for Zhou Qing, the impact of a Mid-Grade Spirit Root would not be confined to just one simulation.

"Once this simulation ends, if I choose to inherit the cultivation base, realm, skills, techniques, memories, and so on, I can naturally inherit this Mid-Grade Spirit Root talent as well..."

A smile surfaced on Zhou Qing's face.

Armed with the experience of two complete simulations, he already had a solid grasp of the two inheritance options offered at the end of each run.

The first option was to inherit the cultivation base, realm, skills, cultivation methods, memories, and so forth from the simulation.

Essentially, this encompassed everything intrinsic to Zhou Qing himself.

As for the second option, it allowed him to inherit a single treasure he possessed during the simulation.

This belonged to external items.

Naturally, whether it was his intrinsic self or an external item, inheriting them from the simulation would strip away all negative status effects and various karmic ties.

For example, if he chose his internal gains, he would only inherit his cultivation base and the like, without bringing over pill toxicity, medicinal resistance, and so forth.

"The Biyue Pool's ability to improve a cultivator's spiritual root can only take effect once; there will be medicinal resistance. But in the simulations, I can completely wash away that resistance, then soak in the pool all over again in the next run. By looping this..."

"Reaching a High-Grade Spirit Root... is only a matter of time."

Joy swelled in Zhou Qing's heart.

A High-Grade Spirit Root aptitude was already the standard baseline among cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Realm. Even without relying on his Pill Toxin Nemesis talent, a High-Grade Spirit Root gave him a slim hope of attempting a breakthrough to the Core Formation Realm.

......

"Calculating the timeline, the auction for that Dark Magic Eagle Egg is still six years away..."

Zhou Qing mused to himself.

The Dark Magic Eagle possessed an earth-grade bloodline, directly equivalent to an Earth Spiritual Root in human cultivators. Reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm was incredibly easy for it, and it had a considerable hope of evolving into a Tier 3 Great Demon.

And a Tier 3 Great Demon was comparable to a human core formation master.

Raising a Dark Magic Eagle to the Foundation Establishment tier would also serve as a guarantee for Zhou Qing's own safety.

Moreover, the lifespan of a demonic beast was longer than that of a human cultivator. Before he reached his lifespan limit in this simulation, he could completely sell the Dark Magic Eagle to another faction.

And earn another sum.

The value of a Dark Magic Eagle lay in far more than just its combat strength.

To those factions, they placed a heavier premium on the Dark Magic Eagle's bloodline, which was its ability to breed.

[After your spiritual root transformed into a Mid-Grade Spirit Root, you immediately left the hall.]

[Elder Wu had long since departed. You spent several days soaking in the Biyue Pool, and as one of the four great elders of the Alchemy Hall, he naturally could not keep waiting for you.]

[Upon returning to the pill building, you did not begin cultivating right away, but instead began to bathe.]

[The two female cultivators, Chunhua and Qiuyue, were very sensible. After you finished bathing, they carefully wiped your body clean.]

[With everything prepared, you began your first cultivation session since your spiritual root transformation.]

[During this session, you clearly felt that your cultivation speed had increased by a margin.]

[And this was still merely the cultivation speed of a Mid-Grade Spirit Root.]

[You were satisfied with this.]

[Several days later, you received a letter sent by the mortal Zhou Family.]

[When you took the initiative to send your first letter to the Zhou Family, you made sure to leave your address at the very end.]

[In the cultivation world, it was not uncommon for cultivators to send letters to the mortal realm. Many cultivators who had just stepped into the cultivation world basically all had family members left behind in the mundane world.]

[Likewise, there were specific locations in the mortal world for sending letters toward the cultivation world.]

[You opened the letter and quickly finished reading it.]

[There was not much content in the letter—mostly just reporting that they were safe.]

[The letter also mentioned Dachun.]

[Over these two years, having determined that the Zhou Family had firmly established themselves in the Lie Kingdom, Dachun would frequently run into the deep mountains to cultivate.]

["As long as all is well."]

[You tucked the letter away and continued to throw yourself into cultivation.]

[In the fourth year, at twenty years old, you vaguely sensed that your skills in the path of alchemy had fallen into a bottleneck.]

[You did not panic or grow anxious. While continuing to refine pills daily, you also began to comprehend other crafts.]

[In the fifth year, at twenty-one, after several years of accumulation, your reputation gradually spread throughout the immortal city. Cultivators came to your door every day seeking pills, and there was no lack of Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators among them.]

[As an alchemist, the older you got, the more sought-after you became, and naturally the more money you earned. Of course, the prerequisite was that your reputation had to be decent.]

[Many alchemists played dirty tricks during the refinement process, deliberately hiding pills. Their reputations were extremely poor, and naturally, not many cultivators came to them for pills.]

[While you occasionally hid a pill yourself, you guaranteed a normal pill yield, doing your best to ensure that every cultivator who came seeking pills returned satisfied. Over time, your reputation was naturally decent.]

[In the sixth year, at twenty-two, in your spare time away from alchemy, you stepped into the mid-grade tier in the path of talismans.]

[The path of alchemy and the path of talismans shared many common points. Pill refinement required an alchemist's control, and drawing talismans was the same. Condensing surging magic power onto a tiny slip of talisman paper—without precise control, how could it be done?]

[Furthermore, you were comprehending talisman crafting techniques with a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation base. Your rate of progress naturally far exceeded that of Qi Refining Realm cultivators with similar talent.]

[Compared to the path of alchemy, the path of talismans provided a greater boost to combat power. A single offensive talisman could often play the role of turning the tide in a battle.]

[In the seventh year, at twenty-three, following the path of talismans, you successfully stepped into the mid-grade tier in beast taming, becoming a mid-grade beast tamer.]

[A mid-grade beast tamer could command three spiritual pets simultaneously.]

[It was said that high-level beast tamers could merge as one with their spiritual pets, sharing certain abilities of the spiritual pet.]

[In the eighth year, at twenty-four, you cultivated to the peak of the Foundation Establishment First Layer.]

[This was several years faster than you had estimated.]

[Clearly, the assistance from your Mid-Grade Spirit Root had already begun to show its initial effects.]

[If your spiritual root aptitude were still a Low-Grade Spirit Root, it probably would have taken you another three or four years to cultivate to the peak of the Foundation Establishment First Layer.]

[Additionally, the Pill Toxin Nemesis talent also deserved immense credit.]

[The Pill Toxin Nemesis talent could not let your cultivation speed reach the heavens in a single step, but it could forcibly raise your current spiritual root aptitude by half a tier.]

[For instance, if your spiritual root talent was a Low-Grade Spirit Root, relying on the Pill Toxin Nemesis talent to consume pills at a high frequency would make your cultivation speed approach that of a Mid-Grade Spirit Root cultivator.]

[And if your spiritual root talent was a Mid-Grade Spirit Root, relying on Pill Toxin Nemesis would make your cultivation speed approach that of a High-Grade Spirit Root cultivator.]

[The same was true for an Earth Spiritual Root and a Heaven-Grade Spirit Root.]

[In the ninth year, at twenty-five, you had already adjusted your condition to its absolute peak and began to push through the bottleneck.]

[You stepped into the Foundation Establishment Second Layer.]
