177: Purple-level toxins

After reciting the Golden Light Incantation, he found a comfortable position and prepared to start the Simulation. The soft velvet quilt kept him very warm. As expected, home was the most comfortable place. If not for a massive Opportunity, he really wouldn't want to leave his home.

Forget it, time to start the Simulation.

【Congratulations to the Host for starting the twenty-sixth Simulation. Now beginning the talent draw.】

【Ding-ling-ling, ding-ling-ling! The alarm is ringing. A reminder to the Host: remember to wash your hands before drawing cards.】

He got up from the bed and went to wash up, cleaning every inch of skin on his hands thoroughly. He still hoped to get a better talent. Only after lighting a stick of sandalwood incense did he begin this Simulation.

【White Talent: Scale Reinforcement; White Talent: Swiftness; Purple Talent: Soul Poison. (Your toxins act not only on the physical body but even on the Soul.)】

Gu Yuchuan's eyes lit up instantly. A Purple Talent, and a combat-oriented one at that, was indeed very useful. One should know that back when he was weak, his toxin talent had played a major role. However, as his cultivation grew, the Green-grade toxin talent had indeed become somewhat inadequate. He hadn't used toxins for a long time. Now, it had jumped directly from Green to Purple and gained the ability to attack the Divine Soul, instantly becoming one of Gu Yuchuan's most formidable methods once again. He was very happy.

He chose this Purple Talent and began this Simulation.

【Day 1: You Cultivate peacefully in your Immortal Cave. You can feel that your talent and capital can continue to accumulate for a long time. You are eager to quickly complete your accumulation in the Foundation Establishment Stage and want to become a Golden Core Stage Demon King.】

【Day 2: You continue to Cultivate in your Immortal Cave. The good news is that your Disciple, Hu Mingyu, has promoted to the Qi Refining Sixth Layer Realm. You happily reward her with Medicinal Pills and Magical Artifacts, and take some time to give her some guidance.】

【Day 3: Ink Scale Demon General has finally finished his secluded meditation. He invites you to attend his banquet the day after tomorrow. You readily agree and have even prepared the congratulatory gifts in advance.】

【Day 4: Several Foundation Establishment Stage demon generals arrive at the Flood Dragon Palace. They want to commission a few Spiritual Artifacts. Previously, Linlang Pavilion did not offer this service, but you think about your current cultivation—your requirements for spiritual items are getting higher and higher, and your wealth is a bit insufficient. After some thought, you agree. You have Linlang Pavilion post an announcement stating that from now on, you will accept two custom Spiritual Artifact commissions per month. With this, you have gained another way to acquire wealth.】

【Day 5: You bring your gifts to attend Ink Scale Demon General's banquet. This banquet is very luxurious, and many demon generals have come. Even demon generals from the inner and core regions of the Cloud Sea Marsh have arrived. These are exotic beasts; while there are many High-Grade Spirit Beasts in the Cloud Sea Marsh, exotic beasts are truly rare, and most are Nascent Soul Stage Demon Emperors. This is definitely the best time to build good relationships. Your three brothers shine at the banquet, and your gift once again amazes everyone. Anyone seeing those thirty thousand Spirit Stones has looks of envy.】

【Day 6: The banquet ends, and your life returns to peace. You begin to Cultivate. Black Shark Demon King personally comes to deliver two sets of resources to you: one promised to you by the Demon Venerable, and one given by Black Shark Demon King himself. Clearly, this Demon King understands that the potential of you two snake demons has already surpassed his. He now needs to invest well in you to earn some future goodwill.】

【Day 7: You begin refining the custom Spiritual Artifacts at home. You are now a Level 2 High Grade Artifact Refiner, so refining Spiritual Artifacts is quite easy. In just one day, you finish the item, and you are very happy.】

【Day 8: Black Shark Demon King summons you, saying there is a competition he wants you to participate in. It is a Prodigy Tournament co-hosted by the Human Race and the Yao Race. Cultivators who have been practicing for no more than thirty years can participate. This is a tournament format, and achieving a good ranking comes with many rewards. Naturally, you intend to go, and Ink Scale Demon General is going as well. You vaguely sense that this might involve the later plans to invade the Canglan Realm, but you don't know the specifics.】

【Day 9: You begin secluded Cultivation. Currently, although your Realm cannot increase, the accumulation can still boost your combat power slightly. While it's not much, battles between Prodigies depend on these minute details; often, a tiny gap can affect the final result.】

【Day 10: With the Demon Venerable's resources, your accumulation grows deeper and deeper, and you are getting closer to the Golden Core Stage Realm.】

【Day 11: You continue to Cultivate.】

...【Day 20: It is finally time to set off. Unexpectedly, hearing that you are going to the Human Race, Hu Mingxin begs you to take her along. Looking into her eyes, you see hatred within. You sense that she has even practiced a Charm Technique. You understand that she wants to seek revenge. You let out a long sigh, unable to say anything else, and ultimately bring her along. You both understand that the Mangshan Ghost King was not the ultimate mastermind; only by going to the Human Race can you uncover the truth.】

【Day 21: You set off. The Fox Immortal uses a magnificent flying boat to bring everyone to the Human Race's imperial city, Chang'an. It is opulent and grand. It seems the Great Yong Dynasty is indeed the second-largest power of the Human Race. A territory with a Soul Transformation Cultivator truly looks much better than their Cloud Sea Marsh.】

【Day 22: The Human Race holds a grand banquet for you. This is also the first time the Human Race and Yao Race of the Qingyun Realm have coexisted so peacefully. Although both sides are clearly a bit uncomfortable at the banquet, after a few drinks, everyone begins to toast each other, and the atmosphere improves considerably.】

【Day 23: The tournament finally begins. You discover that the Human Race actually has a Golden Core First Layer Prodigy. He is the Saint of Dragon Tiger Mountain, said to possess a Natural Dao Body and can learn any Spell with a single glance. He is incredibly powerful.】

【Day 24: There is no battle for you today, but there is one for Ink Scale Demon General. You bring several demon generals you know to cheer for him. He easily enters the top sixty-four.】

【Day 25: Today is your match. Your opponent is a Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Great Yong Dynasty. You easily advance to the top sixty-four.】

【Day 26: On this day, the top sixty-four have all been decided, and everyone begins to draw their next opponent. You draw a Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment demon general.】

【Day 27: You successfully advance to the top thirty-two. You notice that Hu Mingxin, whom you brought along, is actually exchanging flirtatious glances with the Imperial Grandson. You let out a long sigh. You can only act as if nothing happened. You can understand the hatred in her heart.】
