I Have a Cultivation Simulator

Chapter 51: Terrible Environment

[You didn't show too much interest in the Black Wind Eagle Egg. With a wave of your right hand, you stowed the dark grey egg in your Storage Bag and continued watching the auction below.]

[Afterward, you occasionally joined the bidding, winning seven or eight ordinary treasures.]

[In total, you spent nearly two thousand spirit stones.]

[Ouyang Yun, the beautiful female cultivator sitting beside you, practically pressed her soft body against yours.]

[As your designated attendant, Ouyang Yun wasn't just here to introduce the items; she also had a quota to meet.]

[The more spirit stones you spent, the better it was for her.]

[Between bids, you secretly observed Ruan Hu down below.]

[Ever since you won the Black Wind Eagle Egg he wanted, this Beast Taming Mountain disciple had looked completely devastated.]

[He seemed entirely out of it.]

[When the auction ended, you got up and left.]

[You staked out a spot just outside the auction house's exit.]

[Before long, you saw Ruan Hu walk out.]

[So far, both the timing and Ruan Hu's subsequent reaction seemed to prove that the Black Wind Eagle Egg you bought was indeed the majestic Dark Magic Eagle from decades in the future.]

[But nothing was absolute; you still needed to confirm it further.]

[Ruan Hu had composed himself. Though he no longer looked completely devastated, he still seemed entirely out of sorts.]

[By missing out on that Black Wind Eagle Egg, Ruan Hu felt like he had lost the most important thing in his entire life.]

[However, the buyer was a Foundation Establishment senior. No matter how unwilling or furious Ruan Hu felt, he could only swallow his anger.]

[It felt exactly like having his beloved woman snatched away and claimed by another man.]

[Even if he eventually broke through to Foundation Establishment and managed to trade for that Black Wind Eagle through various channels, it just wouldn't be the same anymore.]

[Ruan Hu steadied his nerves. After leaving Wushan Market, he immediately hurried toward Beast Taming Mountain.]

[At this moment, he only wanted to get away from this heartbreaking place as quickly as possible.]

[As he passed through a hilly region, Ruan Hu's expression suddenly changed.]

[The next moment, his mind buzzed with a deafening roar. As a disciple of Beast Taming Mountain, Ruan Hu immediately recognized what this was: a divine sense attack, something only a Foundation Establishment cultivator could use.]

["A grand Foundation Establishment senior is actually ambushing me..."]

[Ruan Hu felt a wave of bitterness as his consciousness plunged into darkness. Under the brunt of the divine sense attack, he fainted without any resistance.]

[A moment later, you stepped out from the shadows.]

[After breaking through to Foundation Establishment, you had specifically spent a few years mastering several divine sense attack secret techniques.]

[Because of your purple talent, Indomitable Will, you took a keen interest in divine sense arts, intending to fully utilize this advantage.]

[Even a white talent like Pill Toxin Nemesis was incredibly useful, let alone a purple talent like Indomitable Will.]

[After observing Ruan Hu from a distance to ensure he had completely lost the ability to resist, you walked up and began looting the Storage Bag and Spirit Pet Pouch from his body.]

["Hmm... there really isn't a second Black Wind Eagle Egg..."]

[You took careful inventory and nodded to yourself.]

[With this, you were almost ninety percent certain that the Black Wind Eagle Egg you bought was indeed the Dark Magic Eagle of the future.]

[You didn't return the Storage Bag or the Spirit Pet Pouch to Ruan Hu. Instead, you took the Beast Taming Token from his Storage Bag, tossed it onto his body, and erased all traces of your presence.]

[After cleaning up the scene, you vanished into the darkness.]

[In a valley a few li away from the incident, you buried Ruan Hu's Storage Bag. As for the Spirit Pet Pouch, you buried it in a completely different location.]

[The reason you didn't kill Ruan Hu was out of concern that Beast Taming Mountain had left some kind of tracking method on him.]

[Whenever disciples of major factions were killed, such methods would automatically activate and lock onto the killer.]

[Beast Taming Mountain was an overlord faction spanning a radius of ten thousand li, guarded by a False Core Master. You had no desire to make an enemy out of such a powerful force.]

[Besides, you already had the Black Wind Eagle Egg in your possession; killing Ruan Hu wouldn't make a difference.]

[Half a day later, Ruan Hu groggily woke up.]

["A Foundation Establishment senior!"]

[The moment he regained consciousness, Ruan Hu's scalp tingled with terror as he recalled the scene right before he fainted.]

[A Foundation Establishment senior had hidden in the shadows and ambushed him with a divine sense attack!]

[Bracing himself, he surveyed his surroundings but didn't spot any other cultivators.]

[At the same time, Ruan Hu realized that both his Storage Bag and Spirit Pet Pouch were gone.]

[The Beast Taming Token representing Beast Taming Mountain, however, had been tossed right in front of him.]

[It wasn't hard to figure out that the Foundation Establishment senior who ambushed him had originally intended to finish him off.]

[But after seeing the Beast Taming Token and considering Beast Taming Mountain's reputation, they had spared his life.]

["Thank you, Senior, for sparing my life..."]

[Ruan Hu's expression shifted wildly as he bowed toward his surroundings in gratitude.]

[Then, he quickly fled the scene.]

["The security around Wushan Market is absolutely terrible. To think a grand Foundation Establishment senior would stoop so low as to ambush a lowly Qi Refining cultivator like me..."]

[With lingering fear in his heart, Ruan Hu swore he would never come near Wushan Market ever again.]

[Half a li away, you quietly watched Ruan Hu's fleeing figure.]

[You had deliberately left that Beast Taming Token behind to forge a motive.]

[While it was rare for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to attack a Qi Refining cultivator, it wasn't unheard of.]

[Even if Ruan Hu took this matter to the higher-ups of Beast Taming Mountain, they would just chalk it up to him having rotten luck.]

[In the cultivation world, luck was a form of strength. Some cultivators were simply born lucky, stumbling across fortuitous encounters wherever they went.]

["I'll come back to retrieve the Storage Bag and Spirit Pet Pouch in a few months."]

[You glanced at the spots where the bags were buried.]

[The reason you buried them was to avoid triggering any hidden tracking methods left on them.]

[Although you figured the chances of that were slim—since the current Ruan Hu was only in the Qi Refining stage and hadn't yet been recognized by Beast Taming Mountain—waiting a few months meant absolutely nothing to you.]

["I wonder if he can still break through to Foundation Establishment after going through this..."]

[Your thoughts drifted as you pondered to yourself.]

[In your second simulation, Ruan Hu was destined to become a Foundation Establishment cultivator ten years from now.]

[However, in this simulation, he had first been robbed of the Black Wind Eagle Egg, and then had all his life savings fall into your hands.]

[You felt that Ruan Hu's state of mind would be heavily impacted by this.]

[After dealing with Ruan Hu, you didn't return to Wushan Market immediately.]

[Instead, you wandered around outside for over half a month. Then, you dropped your disguise as the old man in the straw rain cape and re-entered Wushan Market under your true identity as an Alchemy Hall Guest Elder.]

[Compared to entering the market as an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator, doing so as an Alchemy Hall Guest Elder carried far more weight and influence.]

[You had only been inside for a brief moment before the lord of Wushan Market, Ouyang Shen, came to welcome you in person.]
