59: Low-grade spirit beasts, dragons and snakes

After Gu Yuchuan returned to his room, he looked at the jade sprout pill in his hand and prepared for a Simulation. First, he really didn't have a good grasp of the future's direction anymore and needed to find a safe route. Secondly, he did have quite a few resources in his hands, and he wanted to see if he could convert them into cultivation during this Simulation. At the very least, he wanted to let the Earthly Fiend Qi enter his body first before worrying about anything else; otherwise, holding onto such a great treasure made him feel uneasy.

He took a thorough bath this time. As expected, things from the Human Race were better; these basic facilities were much more comfortable than those in the Yao Race. After a pleasant wash, he lit a stick of incense and prepared to draw cards.

[Congratulations Host on starting the sixteenth Simulation. Now beginning the talent draw.]

[Ring ring, ring ring, the alarm is sounding! A reminder to the Host: remember to wash your hands before drawing cards.]

He skipped that part directly. He had already bathed and burned incense; he had a premonition that he would definitely draw a good talent this time.

[White Talent: Scale Reinforcement; White Talent: Swiftness; Purple Opportunity: Bloodline Advancement.]

He jumped up from the bed in excitement, wriggling his whole body around. He knew it; he was a lucky little snake. Having fought so long and so diligently in reality this time, his Luck was bound to be good. Purple Luck, Bloodline Advancement! Did that mean he could truly become a Spirit Beast?

One must know that although there was only a slight difference between a Spirit Beast and a Yao Beast, the gap was entirely different. Every Spirit Beast was highly valued in the Cloud Sea Marsh. Just like the Serpent; despite only having a cultivation at the Qi Refinement Stage, he could directly contact a Foundation Establishment Stage Demon General and was even treated almost as an equal.

He composed himself and began the Simulation.

[Day 1: You obtained the Purple Opportunity, Bloodline Advancement, and successfully promoted to a Low-grade Spirit Beast, Dragon Snake. You gained the Dragon Clan talent, Dragon Might. The monsters you are familiar with all came to congratulate you. You greeted others with a smile but gave the cold shoulder to the White Crane Demon General.]

[Day 2: You swallowed the jade sprout pill and began to Cultivate. As a Spirit Beast, your cultivation speed has increased significantly. You are getting closer and closer to the Perfection of the Qi Refinement Stage. The entire Coastal City has been completely digested by the Yao Race, becoming their territory.]

[Day 3: You continued your cultivation. The White Crane Demon General sent someone to see you, saying he wanted to discuss matters regarding your Artifact Refining in the Logistics Department over the next few days. You told the messenger monster that you were just an Artifact Refining Cultivator and did not dare to interfere in decision-making, so naturally, whatever the Demon General said goes.]

[Day 4: The White Crane Demon General was very dissatisfied with your attitude, but only due to the Black Tortoise Demon General's Face, he didn't do anything else to you. Unaware of this, you spent the whole day Artifact Refining and completed all the tasks for the past few days together.]

[Day 5: After entrusting someone to hand in the tasks, you continued to Cultivate. You can feel that you are very close to being able to refine the Earthly Fiend Qi.]

[Day 6: You are still cultivating.]

[Day 7: The Yao Race army continued to advance, but this time, as a member of the Logistics Camp, you were left in Coastal City, which you were more than happy with.]

[Day 8: The Black Tortoise Demon General called a meeting for everyone, and you went immediately. You discovered that a Cloud Leopard was actually following the White Crane Demon General—the very same Cloud Leopard who had betrayed the Yao Race in your previous Simulation. After thinking for a moment, you immediately jumped out and accused the Cloud Leopard of being a traitor, demanding a thorough investigation. However, after investigating for a long time, nothing was found. The Cloud Leopard demanded your punishment with all his might, and eventually, you were imprisoned.]

[Day 9: The Cloud Leopard came to see you in prison and killed you. Before dying, you learned that he indeed hadn't signed a contract with the Beast Taming Sect because his mother was a Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment tamed beast of the Beast Taming Sect. With such a relationship, he didn't need to sign a slavery contract to naturally be one of the Beast Taming Sect's people. You spat a mouthful of blood foam in his Face and died.]

[The Simulation has ended. Survival time: nine days. Cultivation: Qi Refining Tenth Layer. Bloodline: Low-grade Spirit Beast Dragon Snake. Evaluation: A somewhat stupid little snake. Reward: 145 divine dragon points (45 points for surviving nine days, 100 points for Bloodline Advancement).]

Gu Yuchuan was so angry he began to pant heavily. He really hadn't expected to die at the hands of the same person twice. That Cloud Leopard—no, he was truly going to die of anger. He puffed out his cheeks, his snake tongue flickering incessantly. What a Cloud Leopard! He took out his little notebook and bolded the Cloud Leopard's name, even drawing a five-pointed star behind it. He swore that within the next two days, he would definitely kill that Cloud Leopard.

Forget it, being angry now is just self-inflicted suffering; it's better to look at the rewards first.

[Available for redemption from this Simulation: Low-grade Spirit Beast Bloodline (100 divine points). Do you wish to redeem?]

He immediately chose to redeem it. After this successful advancement, his authority should increase significantly, and he would be better able to handle everything in the future.

With the Bloodline Advancement, his physical body underwent changes. First was his size; his length now exceeded five meters, and his girth was about the same as an adult's waist, looking very majestic. Several scales extending backward grew on both sides of his neck, looking just like dragon scales.

He let out a roar instinctively; it was a Dragon Roar. Instantly, Dragon Might filled the entire Coastal City. Many members of the Yao Race woke up from their cultivation; this was Dragon Might, after all! Many Yao Beasts felt the oppression within their Bloodlines. Among them, the one who felt it most deeply was the Serpent, but he wasn't uncomfortable. His Serpent Bloodline was still above the Dragon Snake's, and now he was truly happy for Gu Yuchuan. After all, they were allies; Gu Yuchuan's strength was a good thing for him.

Many Demon Generals began preparing gifts. Advancing to a Spirit Beast meant he could easily become a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator; with certain opportunities, it was even possible to achieve a Purple Mansion Dao Foundation. If they didn't try to curry favor now, were they supposed to wait until he became a Foundation Establishment Stage expert? It would definitely be too late by then.

Unfortunately, Gu Yuchuan had not yet emerged from seclusion and was not receiving guests at home.

He went to a mirror and began to admire himself. His scales were increasingly smooth and full of luster, looking as though they contained immense energy. His poison fangs also looked much sharper. He instinctively spat out a glob of venom, and the floor in front of him was corroded; the toxicity had also increased significantly. It seemed this Bloodline evolution had strengthened him in all aspects, whether in combat power or Aptitude; he was very satisfied.

He looked at the weather outside; it was already very late, and the moon was about to set. This day was almost over, so he would leave it at that for today. Tomorrow, he would go deal with that Cloud Leopard; he couldn't wait to kill him.
