64: Earthly Fiend Qi Enters the Body

After returning to Coastal City, there was nothing for him to do for a while. All he needed to do was cultivate properly. He had turned in ten low-grade Magical Artifacts in one go, so his tasks for this period were mostly completed, and naturally, there was no need to turn in anything else. Now, his accumulation was sufficient; it was time to let the Earthly Fiend Qi enter his body. Once he absorbed the Earthly Fiend Qi, he could truly begin preparing for Foundation Establishment. With his Bloodline and accumulation, Foundation Establishment would be absolutely no problem.

However, before that, he still wanted to use the simulator once more. He did not know much about future events, which was clearly not a good thing. His greatest Golden Finger was the simulator; not only could he cultivate within it, but he could also learn about future events. These two aspects were the core of his cultivation. They were indispensable.

Therefore, after returning home, he lay directly on the bed, preparing to start the Simulation. He wanted to see the future direction of the war and its impact on him.

【Congratulations to the Host for starting the seventeenth Simulation. Now, beginning to draw talent.】

【Ring-a-ding, ring-a-ding, the alarm clock has rung, reminding the Host to remember to wash your hands before drawing cards.】

He patted his head with his tail. He had been so busy that he had forgotten to bathe and burn incense. If he failed to draw a good talent because of this, it would really be quite frustrating. Although he knew that he had drawn a purple-grade encounter last time and the probability of drawing something good this time was very low, one couldn't live without dreams.

He carefully went to bathe and burn incense. After getting everything ready, he returned to the bed and began to draw talent.

【White talent: Scale Reinforcement; White talent: Swiftness; White talent: Physical Body Reinforcement.】

He let out a long sigh. As expected, luck was conserved. Having just drawn something good, he had now drawn something very ordinary. He had a premonition of this. Choosing Physical Body Reinforcement at random, he began this Simulation.

【Day 1: You consume a jade sprout pill and cultivate in the manor. You can feel that your accumulation is finally at Perfection. You let the Earthly Fiend Qi enter your body and feel your Dantian expand once more. You can accumulate for some time longer.】

【Day 2: You consume another jade sprout pill and continue to cultivate. You hope to quickly reach Perfection in your accumulation and prepare for advancement, but during this time, even with jade sprout pills, it is not that easy.】

【Day 3: The Black Tortoise Demon General summons you. There is a new mission: you and the White Crane Demon General must go to the front lines to deliver a batch of supplies and remain there to await orders. You hear that Pei Yu is also at the front lines, so you prepare some things for her.】

【Day 4: You set off with the White Crane Demon General. You clearly feel that the White Crane Demon General's attitude towards you has worsened. However, you can understand it because of the Cloud Leopard incident, but you do not care. If others respect me, I will respect them; if they don't, I won't. Since his attitude towards you is not good, you do not take the initiative to speak to him.】

【Day 5: You arrive at the front lines and unload all the supplies. You see Pei Yu and give her some Medicinal Pills for life-saving. Looking at Pei Yu, you find that her temperament has changed, becoming much sharper. Clearly, having been tempered by war, she now has the potential to become a military commander.】

【Day 6: You become an army-accompanying Artifact Refiner and remain at the front lines. Although busy, you gain quite a bit of military merit. On this day, the front lines capture another city. The reinforcements from the Beast Taming Sect finally arrive; they are from the Hundred Flowers Sect and the Green Wood Gate.】

【Day 7: The war enters a stalemate, so you can focus your energy on cultivation. On this day, the Heavenly Profound Secret Realm opens. You know that you cannot obtain Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend Qi inside, so you do not mention entering this time. You are a member of the Logistics Camp; if you do not ask yourself, naturally no one will require you to go in.】

【Day 8: You continue to cultivate, and the mana in your Dantian is finally about to be filled.】

【Day 9: You finally fill your Dantian, but you realize one thing: you do not know how to achieve a Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment. Where is your Legacy? Why hasn't it come? You leave seclusion, preparing to find the Serpent to ask for advice, but you are ordered to go outside the Heavenly Profound Secret Realm to intercept Human Race Cultivators.】

【Day 10: You have already killed quite a few Human Race Cultivators. However, it is a pity that your current cultivation base cannot increase; you cannot devour their essence. But this is enough; killing these Cultivators has given you a fair amount of military merit.】

【Day 11: You encounter someone familiar: Ning Zhi. You recall that you were killed by her in a previous Simulation, and you immediately feel endless killing intent. Now, both of you are Qi Refining Great Perfection Cultivators with Earthly Fiend Qi in your bodies; who is weaker than whom? You and she begin to fight. You two fight for a day and a night without a winner.】

【Day 12: You both stop simultaneously. Continuing to fight would mean mutual destruction, and neither of you wants that result. At this moment, people start coming out of the Secret Realm in large numbers. You are surprised to see Pei Yu at the Qi Refining Seventh Layer; you are both pleasantly surprised and fearful.】

【Day 13: Pei Yu tells you that a Human Race Cultivator at the Qi Refining Seventh Layer has a foundation establishment pill and a large amount of Spirit Stones. You are tempted, and you go together to intercept and kill them.】

【Day 14: You finally kill the Cultivator named Hua Mantian. Who would have known that after he died, his corpse exploded, killing both you and Pei Yu.】

【This Simulation has ended. Survival time: 14 days. Cultivation base: Qi Refining Tenth Layer. Bloodline: Low-grade Spirit Beast Dragon Snake. Evaluation: A somewhat foolish little snake; do not be so greedy in the future. Reward: 70 divine dragon points (70 points for surviving 14 days).】

He let out a long sigh. He really hadn't expected this; this time he had died due to greed. It was the first time he had died because of such a matter. It seems that letting the Earthly Fiend Qi enter his body had brought him strength and potential, but at the same time, it had also brought him arrogance. He needed to reflect; he absolutely could not do this in the future. For a Cultivator, once they lose their cautious mindset, death is not far away.

【This Simulation allows for an exchange: Earthly Fiend Qi entering the body (100 divine dragon points). Do you wish to exchange?】

He rubbed his eyes with his tail. He hadn't misread it, had he? Earthly Fiend Qi entering the body—his Earthly Fiend Qi was still in this Storage Pouch. Could it be that he could use this Simulation to glitch out an Earthly Fiend Qi? He immediately chose to exchange. Instantly, his Aura became profound, with a sense of being unfathomable. However, this Divine Ability had not yet appeared; it would only appear after the Dao Foundation was formed.

He opened his Storage Pouch and found that his Earthly Fiend Qi was still there. He was overjoyed and even wanted to stand up and sing a song. The value of this thing was such that it could be exchanged for a vast amount of wealth; he would no longer have to worry about cultivation resources for the Foundation Establishment Stage.
