6: New Cave and Worship Mountain

After making his bold declaration, Gu Yuchuan was a bit dazed. He raised his head, looking left and right, even flicking out his tongue to carefully search the surrounding information, because he couldn't find his way home!

Good heavens, as expected, Transmigration doesn't increase one's skills. If you were directionally challenged in your past life, you'll definitely be directionally challenged after transmigrating.

Resigned to his fate, he hid inside a tree hollow, preparing to run a Simulation to see how he should proceed next.

[Congratulations to the Host for starting the fifth Simulation. Talent drawing will now begin.]

[White Talent: Scale Reinforcement; Green Talent: Devour (Can digest food faster and absorb more nutrients); White Talent: Swiftness.]

He let out a long sigh. As expected, today he was a green snake (the unlucky version); he didn't even get a single blue talent. He could only choose this Devour. Fortunately, he had been eyeing Devour for a long time.

[Host has chosen Green Talent: Devour. Simulation beginning.]

[Day 1: You headed east and finally found the Yunxi River. You established your own Immortal Cave underwater and officially took root in the Yunxi River.]

[Day 2: You found a Koi Yao at the second level of qi refining nearby. You asked him how to pay respects to the ruler of the Yunxi River. With the help of the Koi, you benefited greatly.]

[Day 3: You went onto land to search for natural treasures. You searched for an entire day but found nothing.]

[Day 4: You found a Spiritual Plant, Yellow Bud Grass. You were overjoyed; you could finally go pay respects to the ruler.]

[Day 5: You took the Spiritual Plant to pay respects to the ruler of the Yunxi River, Great King Hui She. One of his subordinates, a Shrimp Soldier general at the Mid Qi Refining Stage, received you and gave you a jade plaque for settling in the Yunxi River. You officially have a home.]

[Day 6: You began your cultivation in the Immortal Cave. Your Yao Beast Bloodline meant your cultivation speed was not slow. You were very happy with your cultivation and made some gains.]

[Day 7: You continued to cultivate in the Immortal Cave.]

[Day 8, Day 9...]

[Day 19: You successfully broke through to the second level of qi refining. Before you could celebrate, you sensed the sound of fighting outside. You saw a Monkey Spirit on the shore hitting the Koi with a stick. Filled with rage, you helped the Koi drive away the Monkey Spirit.]

[Day 20: Twelve Monkey Spirits rushed into the water and brutally killed both you and the Koi.]

Seeing this, he was so angry that he directly whipped the large tree twice with his tail. As expected, monkeys are just annoying. It was within expectations that he would help the Koi; after all, the Koi had answered his questions and was considered a friend. If a friend is being beaten, he would certainly intervene if he could. He pulled out a small notebook; previously, it only had the name of the Crab General, but now twelve Monkey Spirits were added. This was his kill list—once on the list, they must die. He was a little snake who dared to love and hate.

[Simulation ended. Survival time: 19 days. Cultivation: Second Level of Qi Refining. Evaluation: A low-level Yao Beast gradually adapting to the world. Reward: 145 divine dragon points. (Including 95 points for surviving 19 days and 50 points for advancing one level in cultivation.)]

[Rewards available for exchange in this Simulation: Green Talent: Devour (50 divine dragon points). Second Level of Qi Refining cultivation (50 divine dragon points). Do you wish to exchange?]

He exchanged for everything in one go. It was just a mere 100 divine dragon points. After the cultivation entered his body, he felt himself become much stronger. Whether it was physical strength, poisonous fangs, or Water Manipulation, everything had improved significantly.

[Congratulations to the Host for reaching the second level of qi refining, reward: one Simulation attempt.]

He didn't go out immediately. Instead, he thought about his current situation. He now had the cultivation but lacked combat experience, Spells, and Divine Abilities. This was definitely a major shortcoming. He hoped to make up for this lack of experience in the future; otherwise, he would sooner or later become a background character for someone else.

After reviewing everything, he followed the instructions from the simulator and headed east. Gradually, he could sense the moisture of the water through his tongue. Sure enough, after traveling a short distance, he saw the Yunxi River.

This Yunxi River wasn't particularly large, about twenty meters wide. He couldn't tell its length, but visually, it wasn't particularly short because he couldn't see the end even with his magic power. He jumped into the water with a splash, but not a single drop was made. Indeed, which Huaxia person doesn't have a bit of a diving soul? Even if he turned into a snake, there shouldn't be a single splash when diving.

He searched underwater for a long time and found a natural cave filled with water near the riverbank. After swimming in, he realized this should be the one he found in the Simulation. It was indeed not bad; the space inside wasn't small. Even if his body grew and doubled in size again, he could still fit.

He activated his Water Control Talent to push all the water out of the cave and set up a simple barrier for this Immortal Cave. This was based on his own understanding of how to use magic power, and it could only block some unconscious water currents.

The more he looked, the more satisfied he became, happily humming a little tune. Barring any accidents, he would be living here for a long time. He lay on the ground, propping up his head with his tail, always feeling that something was imperfect. Right, there was no cover at the entrance of this cave. Anything passing by could see the scene inside. This definitely wouldn't do.

He wandered around outside and found some coral and water grass to place at his entrance. This made it look much more hidden. Suddenly, he felt the light around him brighten. Turning his head, he saw a pure white Koi. He looked truly beautiful and holy, snow-white all over, making anyone who saw him feel ashamed of their own appearance.

"Are you a spirit who has come to live here?"

His voice was somewhat crisp, but unexpectedly, such a beautiful little fish was actually a boy.

Gu Yuchuan nodded: "Yes, I live here. It's just that I haven't gone to pay respects to Great King Hui She yet. Tomorrow, I'll prepare some things and go."

The Koi circled around him: "That's great! We'll be neighbors from now on. If you need any help in the future, you can come to me. I, Little White Fish, have some Face in this neighborhood."

If Gu Yuchuan didn't lack hands, he would have wanted to give him a thumbs up. What a good Yao! In the simulator, he told him how to pay respects to Great King Hui She, and now, he was showing kindness again.

Just wait, Little White Fish. Those Monkey Spirits, this snake will definitely kill them and help you survive this calamity.

"Alright, you get busy then. I'm going back to cultivate too. If there's a chance, we can discuss the Dao. But that will have to wait until after you've paid your respects to the Great King. I'm reminding you, go as soon as possible. I'm off, bye-bye."

Having simulated a few times, Gu Yuchuan naturally understood this kindness. Because if you didn't go and were discovered, you would be killed directly by the Crab General. Although he had a grudge against the Crab General, one must bow their head when under another's roof. He didn't have that kind of strength yet and could only wait for revenge in the future.
