I Have a Cultivation Simulator

After you broke through to the Foundation Establishment Second Layer, twenty-six drops of liquid mana slowly rotated within your dantian.

Gathered together, the spiritual pressure they exuded was no weaker than that of an ordinary cultivator at the peak of the Foundation Establishment third layer.

This was the advantage of practicing a top-tier cultivation method: the quality of your mana surpassed that of others at the same tier, alongside a host of other benefits.

When charging at major bottlenecks, cultivators who trained in top-tier methods possessed a much deeper foundation and a significantly higher chance of success.

Your cultivation breakthrough put you in an excellent mood, so you had the two female cultivators, Chunhua and Qiuyue, serve you a bath.

Ultimately, the physical bodies of the two maids were far too frail; you were never able to fully enjoy yourself.

A few days later, you purchased several high-grade magical artifacts in the immortal city: two for defense, two for offense, and one for support.

After nearly a decade of accumulation as a Guest Elder of the Alchemy Hall, you had naturally amassed a massive fortune in spirit stones.

Buying five high-grade magical artifacts was hardly a strain.

Besides the artifacts, you also bought dozens of Second-Tier Talismans.

Then, you left the immortal city and headed straight for Wushan Market.

On this trip to Wushan Market, you had more plans in mind than simply intercepting that Dark Magic Eagle Egg.

In a little over ten years, the Shanhai Secret Realm would open. Unlike the previous two simulations, you intended to prepare well in advance this time, cultivating a faction within Wushan Market specifically to explore the secret realm once it opened.

You wouldn't personally enter the secret realm to explore, but you could train subordinates to go in your stead.

In this simulation, you hadn't just set your sights on Ye Feng, but also on the numerous resources, treasures, and rare wonders hidden within the secret realm.

The Shanhai Secret Realm was created and managed hundreds of years ago by a Core Formation faction, the Shanhai Sect. Even though it had been subjected to wanton destruction by True Person Blood Sea...

...it still held an overwhelming temptation for cultivators of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Once you were a safe distance from Biyue Immortal City, you concealed your aura and secretly hurried toward Wushan Market.

Upon arriving at Wushan Market, you disguised yourself as an old man in a woven rush raincoat before entering.

Disguising your identity would save you from a great deal of trouble.

If you genuinely ran into danger, it wouldn't be too late to reveal your status as a Guest Elder of the Alchemy Hall.

Of course, you were only disguising your identity, not hiding your strength. You left your Foundation Establishment Realm aura completely unmasked.

Walking into Wushan Market and looking at the familiar shops and streets, a wave of emotion washed over you.

With more than half a month remaining until the auction, you rented a cave dwelling ahead of time to stay in temporarily.

That very night, a beautiful female cultivator came to your door.

Her name was Ouyang Yun, a cultivator from the Ouyang family.

Unlike Biyue Immortal City, every Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator who entered Wushan Market was assigned a dedicated host from the Ouyang family as a sign of respect.

Ouyang Yun was the cultivator assigned to receive you.

She first asked if there was anything you required, then introduced the market's specialties, as well as the auction slated to be held in just over half a month.

Afterward, she respectfully withdrew.

Over half a month later, the auction successfully commenced.

Under Ouyang Yun's fervent invitations, you reluctantly agreed to attend.

From a private booth on the highest floor, you looked down over the many cultivators below.

Ouyang Yun sat closely beside you, personally introducing each auction item.

Your disguised persona was that of a reticent old man in a rush raincoat, which made Ouyang Yun breathe a sigh of relief.

As a member of the Ouyang family, she knew very well that if you showed even the slightest interest in her, the clan would deliver her straight to your bed that very night.

As long as they could secure the favor of a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, what did sacrificing a few Qi Refining female cultivators from the clan matter?

Your gaze casually drifted over the numerous Qi Refining Realm cultivators below.

During the auction, cultivators were forbidden from extending their divine sense to prevent them from secretly intimidating others.

Soon enough, your eyes fell upon a specific Qi Refining Realm cultivator.

‘Ruan Hu!’

Information concerning this disciple of Beast Taming Mountain surfaced in your mind.

In ten years, Ruan Hu would step into the Foundation Establishment Realm and become a core Foundation Establishment member of Beast Taming Mountain.

As for now? Ruan Hu was merely a cultivator at the Qi Refining Eighth Layer.

Seeing Ruan Hu put your mind at ease.

During your second simulation, you had repeatedly investigated the specific details surrounding the auction where the Dark Magic Eagle Egg appeared.

But ultimately, that was just gathered intelligence, not personal experience.

It wasn't until you saw Ruan Hu just now that you confirmed the authenticity of your information.

Next, you didn't need to do anything at all. You just had to keep your eyes fixed on Ruan Hu.

The auction progressed.

"As everyone knows, commanding a spirit pet can drastically boost a cultivator's strength. Our next auction item is the egg of a Black Wind Eagle."

"The Black Wind Eagle possesses a mid-grade bloodline and has the potential to grow to the Qi Refining Late Stage. If one's luck is good enough, it might even evolve into a Tier Two demonic beast..."

"The Black Wind Eagle Egg starts at one hundred and fifty spirit stones. Let the bidding begin..."

The cultivator hosting the auction extravagantly touted the numerous benefits of the Black Wind Eagle Egg.

However, the cultivators below showed almost no interest. If they had the resources required to raise a spirit pet, wouldn't it be better to use them on themselves to directly increase their strength?

Among the many Qi Refining Realm cultivators, Ruan Hu's heart suddenly pounded. He stared intently at the Black Wind Eagle Egg on the high platform, faintly detecting a much deeper aura seeping out from within.

‘I have to get this Black Wind Eagle Egg...’

As a disciple of Beast Taming Mountain, Ruan Hu possessed an innate, inexplicable intuition toward spirit pets. The feeling this Black Wind Eagle Egg gave him was stronger than most of the demonic beasts back on Beast Taming Mountain.

"One hundred and sixty spirit stones."

Ruan Hu steadied his nerves and called out his bid.

At the same time, he scanned his surroundings and breathed a secret sigh of relief upon noticing that few other cultivators were interested in the Black Wind Eagle Egg.

Just as Ruan Hu excitedly waited for the bidding to end...

...a hoarse voice suddenly rang out from the highest point above the auction stage.

"One hundred and seventy spirit stones."

You glanced down at Ruan Hu's reaction and joined the bidding.

Your participation provoked a reaction from the many cultivators in the venue.

As a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, your every move drew heavy scrutiny, let alone participating in the bidding for a Black Wind Eagle Egg.

‘How is this possible...’ Ruan Hu felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

If another Qi Refining Realm cultivator were competing against him, he would have had the confidence to win.

But a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator...

No matter how confident Ruan Hu was, he didn't think he could win against a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.

"One hundred and eighty spirit stones..." Ruan Hu braced himself and followed the bid one more time.

"One hundred and ninety spirit stones," you spoke again.

This time, Ruan Hu did not continue to follow.

If he kept bidding, he felt he might not even be able to safely return to Beast Taming Mountain.

Even with his Beast Taming Mountain background, he didn't dare anger a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.

From your booth high up in the auction house, you had been observing Ruan Hu's reactions the entire time. Seeing him abandon the bid in utter dismay, your heart finally settled.

It didn't take long for the Black Wind Eagle Egg to be delivered to your booth and presented in front of you.

This Black Wind Eagle Egg was dark grayish-black overall and roughly the size of a washbasin.

"Congratulations, Senior, on acquiring this Black Wind Eagle Egg..."

Ouyang Yun offered her congratulations from the side.
