I Have a Cultivation Simulator

[Next, you followed True Person Blood Sea's request and swore a Heart Demon Oath.]

[The gist of the oath was this: as long as you confirmed that a Core Formation Spiritual Item actually existed at the location True Person Blood Sea provided, and you successfully obtained it...]

[...and that there were no issues with the five Tier Three craft legacies, you would immediately let this wisp of True Person Blood Sea's soul essence go.]

[You added many detailed clauses before and after the oath to completely eliminate the possibility of wordplay.]

[For instance, you closed loopholes like deliberately refusing to take the Core Formation Spiritual Item even if you could easily obtain it.]

[After swearing the Heart Demon Oath, you actually did not feel anything in particular.]

[Setting aside the fact that the Heart Demon Oath did not restrict you nearly as much as True Person Blood Sea imagined...]

[Even if you strictly fulfilled your promise according to the oath, you would not lose anything.]

[Letting this wisp of True Person Blood Sea's soul essence go? That was not an unacceptable outcome for you.]

[Even if True Person Blood Sea wanted to take revenge on you, he would not have the means to do it.]

[You could easily wait him out until he died of old age.]

[The risk of letting True Person Blood Sea's soul essence go fell well within a range you could handle.]

[In truth, if True Person Blood Sea could have offered a Crystal Condensation Pill...]

[...you would have been willing not just to let him go, but to actively help him recover his strength, provide him with various cultivation resources, and even find him a vessel for possession.]

[In the cultivation world, there were no absolute enemies, only eternal interests.]

[After confirming that there were no issues with the Heart Demon Oath you had just sworn, True Person Blood Sea's expression relaxed slightly.]

["I'll have to trouble you to provide five blank Jade Slips, fellow Daoist..." True Person Blood Sea said.]

[Five Tier Three craft legacies contained far too much information to pass on by word of mouth. Using divine sense to transfer the knowledge into Jade Slips was naturally the most convenient method.]

[You took out five blank Jade Slips.]

[True Person Blood Sea picked up each Jade Slip in turn and held them against his forehead for a moment.]

[Before long, the five Jade Slips were returned to you.]

[You checked them with your divine sense.]

[The five Jade Slips now contained five different craft legacies.]

[Specifically, there were two Tier Three array legacies, one Tier Three puppetry legacy, one Tier Three alchemy legacy, and one Tier Three poison legacy.]

["A Dao of Poison legacy?"]

[You were slightly surprised. Much like divination, the Dao of Poison was one of the myriad cultivation arts, though it was an incredibly obscure one.]

[Of course, obscure or not, a poison master possessed methods that would absolutely terrify any cultivator in the same realm.]

["That Core Formation Spiritual Item is called a Fire Essence Jujube, and it is located in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range..." True Person Blood Sea slowly said.]

[The Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range cut across both the Taiyuan Region and the Zixiao Domain, giving rise to countless demonic beasts and fierce monsters.]

[Because of this, vast numbers of cultivators entered the mountain range every year to hunt these beasts.]

[The flesh, blood, fur, and bones of demonic beasts were all highly valuable cultivation materials.]

[Moreover, many precious spiritual herbs and materials grew within the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.]

[The false core faction known as 'Beast Taming Mountain' was situated adjacent to it and had built its foundations entirely upon the mountain range.]

[A month later, you arrived outside the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.]

[Although the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range was known for being fraught with danger, that was only true for Qi Refining cultivators and ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.]

[Even though you were only at the sixth level of Foundation Establishment, whether in the quality of your magical power, the strength of your divine sense, or even the physical toughness of your body, you were stronger—certainly no weaker—than an expert in the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.]

[As long as you did not venture too deep into the mountain range, it was basically impossible for you to run into any real danger.]

[And the 'Fire Essence Jujube' that True Person Blood Sea had mentioned was located somewhere in the outer periphery of the mountains, posing no threat to you.]

['He should not have lied to me...'] you thought to yourself, gazing at the distant Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.

[You had not brought the Shanhai Ring that sealed True Person Blood Sea along with you.]

[Instead, after heavily sealing it, you had hidden it away in an extremely secretive location.]

[If you failed to return from this trip, True Person Blood Sea would be permanently sealed inside the ring until his death.]

[True Person Blood Sea was well aware of this fact.]

[Several days later, you arrived at a certain location in the outer periphery of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.]

[A few hundred meters away lay a valley.]

[According to True Person Blood Sea, the Fire Essence Jujube was located inside this very valley.]

[True Person Blood Sea had laid down an illusion array around the valley when he passed through all those years ago. Even a Tier Two demonic beast or a Foundation Establishment cultivator would not be able to see through it.]

[As for core formation masters or Tier 3 Great Demons?]

[It was basically impossible for a Tier 3 Great Demon to appear in the outer reaches of the mountain range. Even if one did come to the periphery and pass by this exact spot, the chances of it noticing the array were slim to none.]

[The Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range spanned across two domains; its sheer scale was simply too vast.]

[You did not rashly enter the valley. Instead, you planned to stick to your usual method: forcing a lower-level cultivator to go in first.]

["Greetings, Senior! Greetings, Senior!"]

[Dozens of li away, a Qi Refining Late Stage cultivator's scalp went numb as he stared at you—you had appeared silently by his side. He begged for mercy without a moment's hesitation.]

["Come with me."]

[You knocked the man out and brought him to the outside of the valley.]

[A moment later, the Qi Refining Late Stage cultivator woke up.]

["Enter that valley, and follow..."]

[You glanced at him and told him the method to bypass the illusion array's interference and reach the deepest part of the valley.]

["Understood..."]

[The Qi Refining Late Stage cultivator's mind trembled, but he had no other choice.]

[When facing a senior cultivator, disobedience meant death.]

[And so, the Qi Refining Late Stage cultivator walked into the valley, trembling with fear.]

[You waited outside. You had planted a tracking technique on the Qi Refining Late Stage cultivator, keeping him entirely under your control.]

[Half a day later, you watched as the Qi Refining Late Stage cultivator walked back out.]

["Senior... I..."] the Qi Refining Late Stage cultivator began to say.

["You don't need to speak. I'll see for myself."]

[You reached out, clamped a hand down on his head, and began a soul search.]

[Every memory of the Qi Refining Late Stage cultivator entering the valley unfolded before your eyes.]

["There are actually two Fire Essence Jujubes?"] you murmured, your expression filled with surprise. It felt like you had stumbled upon an unexpected joy.

[In the Qi Refining Late Stage cultivator's memories, deep within the valley, the Fire Essence Jujube Tree had a large and a small mature 'Fire Essence Jujube' hanging from its branches.]

[Hundreds of years ago, when True Person Blood Sea passed through here, he had only found one unripe 'Fire Essence Jujube' hanging from the tree.]

[The second, smaller 'Fire Essence Jujube' must have grown over the last few centuries.]

[The Qi Refining Late Stage cultivator had not recognized the Fire Essence Jujubes. Strictly following your instructions, he had used a specific technique to pluck both fruits without harming the tree itself.]

[You raised your right hand, and the Qi Refining Late Stage cultivator's Storage Bag floated into the air.]

[Sending your divine sense inside, you took out the two Fire Essence Jujubes.]

[You did not plan on uprooting the Fire Essence Jujube Tree and taking it with you. This kind of spiritual plant was exceptionally delicate; the moment it left its native soil environment, it would quickly wither and die.]

[After putting the Fire Essence Jujubes away, you looked down at the unconscious Qi Refining Late Stage cultivator and directly chose to silence him for good.]

[During the soul search just now, you discovered that this Qi Refining Late Stage cultivator was secretly a bandit cultivator who committed all sorts of evils—murder, arson, and looting.]

[Killing such a morally bankrupt cultivator brought you no psychological burden whatsoever.]

['The information about this location could also be sold off...']

[Before leaving, you took one last look at the valley. The growth cycle of a Fire Essence Jujube spanned hundreds of years. In this simulation, unless you stepped into the Core Formation Realm, you likely would not live to see the next Fire Essence Jujube grow.]

[Since that was the case, selling this information in exchange for something valuable was the best choice.]

[Leaving the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, you headed to the place where you had hidden the Shanhai Ring.]

[Taking out the Jade Box that sealed the Shanhai Ring, you fell into deep thought.]

[Now that you had a Core Formation Spiritual Item in hand—and unexpectedly, two of them at that...]

[...the next thing you needed to consider was whether or not to abide by the Heart Demon Oath and let True Person Blood Sea go.]
