I Have a Cultivation Simulator

You only had to look at the Qi Sha Demonic Monarch to know the consequences of demonic cultivators invading the Taiyuan Domain.

Millions of cultivators across the entire city had ended up in the Qi Sha Demonic Monarch's belly.

The other demonic cultivators didn't have the strength to devour millions, but picking them off market by market, cultivation family by cultivation family, was hardly difficult.

In the Jiuyou Domain, demonic cultivators were strictly restrained by the Jiuyou Cult when it came to devouring the living.

Even experts as strong as core formation masters didn't dare to consume lower-realm cultivators recklessly.

But here in the Taiyuan Domain... there were naturally no such restrictions.

What a chaotic world... you sighed inwardly, opening a map of the Taiyuan Domain.

According to Wu Ming's intelligence, the defense line torn open by the demonic cultivators lay in the southwestern region of the Taiyuan Domain.

Luofeng Mountain was located in the heartland of the Taiyuan Domain, so it didn't have to face the demonic threat just yet.

The war between the Taiyuan Domain and the Jiuyou Domain had caused heavy casualties for the cultivators on both sides.

Yet one place was developing rapidly, even amassing a massive fortune from the cross-domain war.

Xuanwang Island... You looked at the map in front of you.

Between the Jiuyou and Taiyuan Domains lay a vast lake spanning over ten thousand miles, named Xuanwang Lake.

At the center of this lake sat an island with a diameter of over a thousand miles, named Xuanwang Island.

The strongest factions on Xuanwang Island were only at the Core Formation Realm, mostly existing as merchant alliances.

During this war between the Jiuyou and Taiyuan Domains, the various merchant alliances on Xuanwang Island provided all kinds of war apparatuses and supplies to both sides, earning a massive fortune...

To think the Qi Sha Demonic Monarch... can actually tolerate Xuanwang Island... you thought, harboring suspicions. Setting aside True Monarch Zixu of the Taiyuan Domain, given the overbearing nature of the Qi Sha Demonic Monarch, the cultivators on Xuanwang Island should have shared the fate of those in Biyue Immortal City—devoured entirely.

They dared to make a war fortune? And from the Jiuyou Domain's war, no less? They might have the lives to earn it, but they shouldn't have the lives to spend it.

Either Xuanwang Island also has a True Monarch standing guard, or they have some other backing... you speculated inwardly.

As for whether Xuanwang Island was connected to the Jiuyou Domain... you felt they shouldn't be. Otherwise, the Taiyuan Domain wouldn't be purchasing massive amounts of resources and war apparatuses from them.

Xuanwang Island... needs special attention. Your expression turned slightly solemn.

You wanted to know the subsequent development of Xuanwang Island—whether it would continue to exist, or if it would be swallowed whole by the Qi Sha Demonic Monarch or some other Nascent Soul True Monarch at some point in the future.

Year 98. You were 114 years old.

Since you had temporarily delayed attempting Core Formation, you poured all your energy into your various crafts.

Alchemy, array formations, talismans, artifact forging, poisons, divination, beast taming, and other arts—you began fully dedicating yourself to comprehending them all.

You might as well, since you had the free time.

Year 99. You were 115 years old.

Looking at the Dark Magic Eagle with its wingspan reaching seven or eight zhang, you fell into hesitation.

You weren't hesitating over whether to sell it, but rather whether you should continue investing resources to help the Dark Magic Eagle attempt to reach the Tier 3 Great Demon stage.

A Tier 3 Great Demon corresponded to a core formation master. If the Dark Magic Eagle could cross into the third tier, it would be a comprehensive, qualitative change for you.

At that time, obtaining Core Formation Spiritual Items, or even a Crystal Condensation Pill, would no longer be a difficult task.

From its previous breakthroughs, you could tell the Dark Magic Eagle had abundant potential. Under these circumstances, there was a fairly high hope of it breaking through to become a Tier 3 Great Demon.

Forget it. After thinking for a long time, you abandoned the idea.

If the Dark Magic Eagle successfully broke through to become a Tier 3 Great Demon, the benefits would naturally be countless.

But what if it failed?

Setting aside the fact that the Dark Magic Eagle itself might die after a failed breakthrough, even if it survived, its potential would drop drastically.

Just the resources you needed to help the Dark Magic Eagle attempt the third tier were like mountains and oceans.

If it failed, all of that would go down the drain.

I could instead let the faction that buys the Dark Magic Eagle try to help it break through. If it fails, naturally nothing happens to me. If it succeeds, I'll just do it myself in the next simulation... you mused inwardly.

Others would bear all the risks and costs, and when the next simulation came, you could just directly enjoy the benefits.

Year 100. You were 116 years old.

You released news to the public that you were selling the Dark Magic Eagle.

Cultivators successively came knocking to inspect it.

Among them were cultivators from the Taiyuan Domain as well as other great domains.

All were basically interested in the Dark Magic Eagle.

The Dark Magic Eagle was currently at its peak, so there were no unexpected variables that could arise during its growth phase.

Of course, the price was also very high. You directly asked for a Crystal Condensation Pill in exchange.

You were well aware that even a Dark Magic Eagle in its peak period was essentially still a Tier Two demonic beast and was not worth a Crystal Condensation Pill.

But in matters of trading... you couldn't just reveal your bottom line right away. You naturally had to quote a high price from the start.

Year 101. You were 117 years old.

Your talisman crafting art reached Tier Two Mid-Grade.

You had become a low-grade Tier Two talisman master at the age of 53, yet it took until you were 117 to cross into the mid-grade, costing you over sixty years in between.

Although this was partly because you hadn't placed all your energy into the Dao of Talismans, it also illustrated the difficulty of advancing one's craft.

Year 102. You were 118 years old.

A beautiful female cultivator came to visit.

She was from Hundred Flowers Valley, one of the five great sects of the Taiyuan Domain.

Unlike the other four great sects, Hundred Flowers Valley only accepted female disciples and was comprised entirely of female cultivators.

Her purpose for visiting was precisely to buy the Dark Magic Eagle.

"Alchemist Wang, Junior Sister Lan really likes your black eagle. However, a Crystal Condensation Pill is a no-go. We are willing to offer a portion of Heavenly Pure Water plus two craft inheritances in exchange. What do you think?" the beautiful female cultivator, named Tian Xin, said directly.

Heavenly Pure Water... plus two craft inheritances... A thoughtful look appeared on your face.

Heavenly Pure Water was a Core Formation Spiritual Item, which met your bottom line.

"Fellow Daoist Tian, might I ask what relationship your Junior Sister Lan has with your sect's Master Lan?" you asked.

Hundred Flowers Valley had a Master Lan with a Core Formation Middle Stage cultivation base.

"Junior Sister Lan is Master Lan's most favored great-granddaughter, possessing an Earth Spiritual Root aptitude..." Tian Xin said with a smile, pursing her lips.

"I see." You nodded slightly, paused for a moment, and asked, "If Junior Sister Lan buys this Dark Magic Eagle, will she nurture it to attempt the third tier?"

"That's only natural," Tian Xin nodded. "Junior Sister Lan's goal in buying this Dark Magic Eagle is precisely to nurture it to the third tier."

With Junior Sister Lan's background and aptitude, she had hope of stepping into the Core Formation Realm.

And for a core formation master, a Tier Two mount was definitely insufficient. Nurturing it to the third tier was a matter of course.

Directly buying a third-tier mount would be far too expensive, so Junior Sister Lan had decided to choose a Tier Two mount with a high-grade bloodline and nurture it herself.

"We will invite a third-tier beast-taming grandmaster to personally examine this Dark Magic Eagle and customize a nurturing plan for it..." Tian Xin added.

"Mhm." Your expression remained unchanged.

Actually, you were already leaning toward selling it to this Junior Sister Lan.

First, this Junior Sister Lan was the descendant of a Master of the sect and possessed the Earth Spiritual Root talent.

It was basically impossible for her to fall into any perilous situations. Following her, the Dark Magic Eagle had a high probability of surviving and getting the chance to attempt the third tier.

Half a year ago, a Foundation Establishment cultivator from a sect had also wanted to buy the Dark Magic Eagle.

But that Foundation Establishment cultivator's purpose in buying the Dark Magic Eagle was to have a life-saving trump card upon heading to the frontline battlefield.

You knew very well just how dangerous the frontline warzone was, so after repeatedly weighing the matter, you had rejected that Foundation Establishment cultivator's trade request.

In this simulation, your goal in selling the Dark Magic Eagle wasn't just to exchange it for a Core Formation Spiritual Item, but also to find out whether this earth-grade bloodline demonic beast could break through to the third tier.

If it could break through to the third tier, you would do it yourself in the next simulation, which would be equivalent to possessing a Tier 3 flying spiritual pet.

"Alright, but I have one request," you said, looking at Tian Xin.

"Please go ahead, Alchemist Wang," Tian Xin immediately replied.

"If Xiao Hei can cross into the third tier, I want your sect's entire process of nurturing Xiao Hei, as well as the detailed nurturing plan and procedure..." you stated.

"That's not a problem at all..." Tian Xin blinked and immediately agreed.

Mainly, this request wasn't excessive.

Whether a spiritual pet could cross into the third tier depended primarily on its own potential; the nurturing procedure and plan could only serve as an auxiliary aid.

Moreover, every spiritual pet was different, which meant the plans for nurturing them also had vast differences.

The nurturing plan and procedure for a Dark Magic Eagle wouldn't be very useful on other pet beasts.

"Then let's form a Spirit Contract," you said directly.

Several days later, Hundred Flowers Valley's Junior Sister Lan arrived in person and formed the Spirit Contract with you.

After she handed over a portion of Heavenly Pure Water and the two craft inheritances to you, you began to sever your contract with Xiao Hei, changing its master to the sweet and adorable Junior Sister Lan.

Watching Junior Sister Lan and the group of female cultivators from Hundred Flowers Valley play with your black eagle, you felt a pang of discomfort.

"Alchemist Wang, I really like your black eagle. I will definitely treat it well." Junior Sister Lan smiled at you, then rode away on the black eagle.

Xiao Hei, don't worry. In the next simulation, I'll still take you away, you thought to yourself. Regardless of whether Xiao Hei could cross into the third tier, it was ultimately an earth-grade bloodline Dark Magic Eagle, worth a Core Formation Spiritual Item.

Even a Master wouldn't be able to ignore it.

Year 103. You were 119 years old.

Taiyuan Palace mobilized the sect's patrolling cultivators, completely driving out the demonic cultivators who had invaded.

Year 104. You were 120 years old.

Zhou Hai sent you a letter from the frontline battlefield, saying that he had made considerable contributions and could exchange them for a Foundation Establishment Pill.

This Zhou Hai is quite lucky... You looked at the letter and stroked your chin.

The frontline battlefield was a meat grinder for cultivators. Just surviving could be considered great luck.

Surviving and making contributions?

You realized that, aside from you, the Zhou Family was probably going to produce another Foundation Establishment cultivator.
