34: The Qi of Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends

【 Congratulations to the Host for starting the twelfth Simulation. Now, beginning to draw talents. 】

【 Ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling, the alarm clock rings, reminding the Host to remember to wash your hands before drawing cards. 】

This time, he didn't need the System's reminder; he had already washed up himself and even burned incense. He had a premonition that he would definitely gain something. Although there was no basis for it, that was just what he believed.

【 White talent: Scale Reinforcement; White talent: Swiftness; Purple talent: Treasure Hunter (Able to better sense the location of spiritual items and Opportunities). 】

He jumped up from his bed happily. He knew it; he was a lucky little Serpent. This was a Purple talent! He only had one Purple talent right now, and it was Treasure Hunter. One had to know that resources were the most important thing in cultivation. Without resources, even if one's Aptitude was heaven-defying, one could not achieve much. For example, for Foundation Establishment, even if you were some kind of Heavenly Spiritual Root with a monster Bloodline, if you didn't have Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend Qi, you would still only be able to attain a Purple Mansion Dao Foundation.

Of course, if your Aptitude was good, you would usually have a powerful Family or a powerful sect to help you solve these issues, but Gu Yuchuan didn't have that. The Treasure Hunter talent was enough for him to make up for this. Impatiently, he wanted to start the Simulation.

【 Day 1: You gave instructions to Bai Li and Bai Ming at home, left them some resources for cultivation, and then embarked on your path of treasure hunting. 】

【 Day 2: You did not head into the depths of the Cloud Sea Marsh. You knew well that under the leadership of the Yao Race Venerables, the class structure in this Cloud Sea Marsh was basically solidified. No matter how good the things here were, they were not something you could covet, so you headed toward the territory of the Human Race. 】

【 Day 3: You arrived at the border between the Human Race and the Yao Race. Your talent reminded you that there was a spiritual spring nearby. After finding it, you took out the Spring Eye, refined it into a piece of jade, and carried it with you to cultivate at all times. It was considered a very good treasure. 】

【 Day 4: You had already sensed the aura of humans, but you had been cautiously avoiding them. You knew that if your cultivation were exposed, it would cause major problems. 】

【 Day 5: You can't walk by the river often without getting your shoes wet. You encountered a Human Race Cultivator. Fortunately, he only had Qi Refining Fourth Layer cultivation. You easily killed him. From his words, you learned that there was a Secret Realm nearby. The Heavenly Profound Secret Realm was about to open, and only Cultivators below Foundation Establishment could enter. 】

【 Day 6: You hunted three Cultivators to inquire about this Heavenly Profound Secret Realm. You confirmed the authenticity of this matter, but their cultivation levels were very low. They only knew that there were spiritual items for Foundation Establishment in the Heavenly Profound Secret Realm, but they didn't know exactly what they were. However, your talent told you that there must be Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend Qi inside. 】

【 Day 7: You hid around the Secret Realm. You were prepared; you had to go into the Secret Realm to explore. 】

【 Day 8: You hid around the Secret Realm, not daring to cultivate or act rashly, fearing being discovered. 】

【 Day 9: It remained the same. 】

【 Day 10: The Secret Realm opened. You took advantage of the time when everyone was still observing the Secret Realm and jumped straight in. However, quite a few Cultivators still noticed you, this uninvited guest. You entered the Secret Realm and, relying on your talent, obtained quite a few treasures. Your wealth soon became even greater than that of a powerhouse who had just reached Foundation Establishment. 】

【 Day 11: You continued searching in the Secret Realm, found many treasures, and also killed many Cultivators, devouring their essence. However, after reaching the Qi Refining Late Stage, the improvement in your cultivation slowed down. You were still at the Qi Refining Eighth Layer Realm. 】

【 Day 12: You found many treasures, but there were still no clues about the Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend Qi. You reckoned that such good things would not be known to ordinary Loose Cultivators. You took a risk and killed an Inner Sect Disciple of the Xuan Yin Sect who was at the Qi Refining Eighth Layer. You received information that it was said there was a space in the center of the Secret Realm where, after passing a trial, there was a probability of obtaining Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend Qi. 】

【 Day 13: You arrived near this Trial Space and found that there were many Cultivators here, and even quite a few at the Qi Refining Great Perfection. They were all very vigilant. You had just entered to within fifty meters of the Trial Space when the portal of the Trial Space emitted a blue light, revealing your figure. Several Human Race Cultivators attacked you at the same time. You were severely injured before you managed to escape. 】

【 Day 14: You killed six Cultivators and devoured their essence, and your injuries finally improved. At the same time, you also knew that to enter that Trial Space, you needed to complete a prerequisite: kill ten Cultivators of the same tier. You had only killed six of the same tier so far. 】

【 Day 15: You started frantically killing Cultivators of the same tier. Today, you killed three. 】

【 Day 16: You finally obtained the token to enter the Trial Space and headed to the Trial Space again. This time, you finally got in. First level: kill one Cultivator of the same tier; you passed easily. Second level: face two Cultivators of the same tier; you passed as well. Third level: face four Cultivators of the same tier; you used all your means and barely passed. Fourth level: face eight Cultivators of the same tier; you chose to give up and received a reward of one foundation establishment pill. 】

【 Day 17: You had just come out of the Trial Space when you were killed by a beautiful woman at the Qi Refining Great Perfection. She gave you a feeling very similar to a Serpent. It was the feeling that Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend Qi had already entered her body and she could reach Foundation Establishment at any time. Before you died, you knew her name was Fairy Ning Zhi. 】

【 This Simulation has ended. Survival time: seventeen days. Cultivation: Qi Refining Eighth Layer. Evaluation: A little Serpent who is decisive in killing but lacks clear self-positioning. Confidence is fine, but do not underestimate the heroes of the world. Achievement unlocked: Engaged with a Prodigy. Reward: 135 Dragon points. (Among which, 85 points for surviving seventeen days, 50 points for unlocking the achievement.) 】

He let out a long breath and first wrote down the four big characters 'Fairy Ning Zhi' in his little notebook. Although he couldn't beat her in the short term, there would always be an Opportunity. Although he hadn't obtained the Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend Qi in the Secret Realm, he learned one piece of information from Ning Zhi: that the rewards of this Trial Space did indeed contain Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend Qi. Ning Zhi's must have been obtained from the Trial Space. It seemed that this Heavenly Profound Secret Realm was a must-visit. However, his current cultivation and means were not enough. He needed stronger strength to plot for what he wanted.
