49: Qi Refining Level 10

After Gu Yuchuan lay down, he prepared to start the Simulation. The moonlight shone on him, calming him down considerably.

[Congratulations, Host, for starting the fifteenth Simulation. Now beginning talent extraction.]

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

He almost forgot that one should bathe and burn incense before drawing prizes. Although he felt that since he had just drawn Artifact Refining Master, the probability of drawing another good item was very low, he still had to do it—what if it helped?

He climbed down and took a shower. The water flowed down his body, and a refreshing feeling filled him. He lit an incense stick, and now, he had become a fragrant little snake, ready to start the draw.

[White Talent: Scale Reinforcement; White Talent: Swiftness; White Talent: Robustness.]

He sighed. Sure enough, good luck wouldn't stay with him forever. After drawing a good talent, there would be a period of bad luck. He had already figured out this pattern. Time to start the Simulation.

[Day 1: You just woke up from Cultivation when you received a message from the Black Tortoise Demon General. War was about to begin. You took Pei Yu to the Black Tortoise Demon General's territory, where you were protected and assigned to the reserve camp.]

[Day 2: The army set off, and you followed them to the front line. You sat in the flying boat, not even needing to travel yourself. You used this time to continue Artifact Refining many Magical Artifacts.]

[Day 3: You handed over eight Magical Artifacts, and the Black Tortoise Demon General gave you one hundred military merits. The great battle finally began, but it had nothing to do with you. All you needed to do was Cultivate and Artifact Refining. As an Artifact Refining Master, you were naturally not needed for the fighting outside. Only by remaining in the rear could you gain greater benefits.]

[Day 4: You continued to Cultivate and Artifact Refining. You knew that the identity of an Artifact Refining Master was very important during the war, and if exposed, you would be in great danger. Your residence was even next to a Yao General at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. The higher-ups valued you highly. Although you didn't go out, you knew that the Yao Race currently held the advantage.]

[Day 5: The main army advanced another ten miles. Beast Taming Sect was ultimately just a small Sect, and the gap was too large for it to fight against the entire periphery of the Cloud Sea Marsh. After only three days of fighting, they began losing their territory.]

[Day 6: The offensive stopped. Reinforcements for the Beast Taming Sect arrived: Hundred Flowers Sect and Green Wood Gate. With the help of these two, the Three Sect Alliance temporarily stabilized the situation, truly entering a stage of small-scale harassment. However, this still had nothing to do with you. You spent your days Cultivating and Artifact Refining, and your military merits were among the highest of all Qi Refining stage Cultivators.]

[Day 7: Some Human Race forces attacked your camp. Because the battle line was stretched thin, you were forced to participate in the fight. You knew well that now was not the time to show off. You fought cautiously, like an ordinary Ninth Layer of Qi Refining Cultivator, not daring to reveal more of your strength. After half a day of hard fighting, you repelled the Human Race Cultivators.]

[Day 8: You used military merits to exchange for a bottle of jade sprout pill. With the help of the Medicinal Pill, you successfully advanced to Qi Refining Great Perfection. You began the accumulation phase before Foundation Establishment. You once again exchanged military merits for many resources to accelerate your Cultivation progress.]

[Day 9: You discovered that you had actually breached the territory where the Heavenly Profound Secret Realm was located. Tomorrow was the day the Heavenly Profound Secret Realm would open. The Three Sect Alliance continuously counterattacked, deploying many Cultivators, and even Golden Core powerhouses appeared. The Yao Race's Yao King was called King Golden Roc. He fought a great battle against the Human Race powerhouses for a day, and finally, it was decided that each side would send one hundred and twenty-eight Cultivators into the Secret Realm. As a Qi Refining Great Perfection Cultivator, you also entered the Secret Realm.]

[Day 10: Relying on the fact that you had been to the Heavenly Profound Secret Realm before, you continuously hunted Cultivators of the same Rank. On the first day of entry, you obtained an admission ticket to the Secret Realm Space. However, your large-scale killing also exposed you to everyone. The name Great King Green Snake Gu Yuchuan finally gained fame among both the Human and Yao Races.]

[Day 11: You entered the Trial Space and easily passed the four layers of the trial. However, it said that because you already had Earthly Fiend Qi on your body, you could not obtain it again. It gave you a spiritual water, Heavenly Profound Heavy Water. You refined it into your Dantian, increasing your combat power by more than thirty percent.]

[Day 12: When you came out of the Trial Space, you encountered six Human Race Cultivators at Qi Refining Great Perfection. They attacked you simultaneously. You used all your means and fought them. In the end, you collapsed heavily injured, but they all died by your hand.]

[Day 13: As you were leaving, you encountered the Yao Race's Cloud Leopard King. You knew him, and you traveled together. However, seeing you severely injured, he launched a sneak attack. Only before you died did you realize that this Cloud Leopard King was actually a Yao Beast belonging to the Beast Taming Sect, hiding so deeply.]

[This Simulation has ended. Survival time: thirteen days. Cultivation: Qi Refining Tenth Layer. Bloodline: High-grade Demon Beast Horned Snake. Evaluation: A Little Snake Showing Its Initial Edge. Reward: 65 divine dragon points (65 points for surviving thirteen days).]

He let out a long sigh. It seemed that joining the army on an expedition wasn't entirely safe, especially on the front line. And that Cloud Leopard King! He first pulled out his small notebook and wrote down the other party's name. Hadn't the Yao Race already conducted several checks? They used secret techniques to find all the Yao Beasts that had signed contracts with the Human Race. How could there still be a fish that slipped through the net? Judging a leopard by looking through a tube, could there be more? If there were indeed quite a few more, then the Yao Race might appear to have the advantage, but in reality, they would be at a disadvantage, lacking significant superiority. This was truly worrying.

As for that Secret Realm, he didn't even want to talk about it. He originally wanted to get another strand of Earthly Fiend Qi; wouldn't it be great to bestow it upon a subordinate later? What a pity, the system simply wouldn't give it to him. The Heavenly Profound Heavy Water was indeed formidable. After all, it was spiritual water. Its most powerful aspect lay in its weight—a single drop weighed ten thousand catties. If he shot out a few drops, ordinary defensive Magical Artifacts couldn't withstand it. However, no matter how precious this item was, compared to the Earthly Fiend Qi, which could forge an Earthly Fiend Dao Foundation, it was still too weak. But there was nothing he could do if they wouldn't give it to him.

[Exchange options for this Simulation: Qi Refining Great Perfection Cultivation (50 divine dragon points), Heavenly Profound Heavy Water (50 divine dragon points). Do you wish to exchange?]

Did he even need to think about it? He definitely exchanged for it. As the Cultivation entered his body, he could feel that the gaseous magical power in his Dantian was already extremely at Perfection, and he could Foundation Establishment at any time. However, he knew there was no rush. He needed to accumulate more, increasing the density of his magical power and the strength of his Physical Body. Only then would his potential and combat power after advancement be greater. This stage absolutely could not be rushed.
