Chapter 118 Seeking Aid and Foundation Building Level 4
After the first day of business concluded, Gu Yuchuan returned to the Flood Dragon Palace with his haul. There was no need for him to oversee things anymore; Song Chuan and the others could handle it. He went back to his bedroom and began to look at the day's harvest, which was indeed plentiful.
After deducting costs, his profit exceeded 20,000 spirit stones, an amount sufficient for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to progress from the first level to the late stage. It was an astonishing fortune, and now he needed to consider how to allocate it.
First, a portion of the funds will definitely be allocated as operating capital for Linlang Pavilion. The spiritual artifacts and magical weapons inside have been almost sold out, and some raw materials will need to be purchased for refining them.
The second expense is the daily expenses of the Flood Dragon Palace, which includes paying salaries to its subordinates. However, this is a small amount of money, and it also includes supplies specifically for the alchemist Yu Linglong.
However, Gu Yuchuan planned to take out a new sum of money to see if any cultivators in his family had the talent for refining magical artifacts, so that they could learn it and sell magical artifacts in the Linlang Pavilion, opening up a new business channel and enriching the categories in the Linlang Pavilion. He was indeed a bit short now, so he generously gave Bai Ming a thousand spirit stones, letting Bai Ming lead everyone to give it a try.
The remaining spirit stones were all his, and with so many spirit stones, even without using pills, his cultivation speed would be terrifying simply by absorbing them. Therefore, Gu Yuchuan immediately went into seclusion to cultivate. He hadn't forgotten that the Black Shark Demon King held a great opportunity that required him to possess unparalleled combat power during the Foundation Establishment stage. He still wanted to quickly increase his cultivation level.
That means he has to use a simulator, as he's run out of simulation attempts. He's used up the 100 spirit stones per attempt for every 10 attempts, and now the price has risen to 500 spirit stones per attempt. But that doesn't matter. The success of Linlang Pavilion has made him incredibly wealthy, so he bought five more attempts and is now ready to start simulating.
[Congratulations, host, on starting the twenty-first simulation. We will now begin drawing talents.]
[Ring ring, ring ring, the alarm clock is ringing, reminding the host to wash their hands before drawing the card.]
He forgot to bathe and burn incense again this time. He was really too busy to forget such a thing. This is the world of immortals. Praying to gods and Buddhas really works. Although he was just asking for psychological comfort, he still had to do the necessary procedures. He got up and carefully cleaned his palms to make sure there was no dust. After lighting a stick of sandalwood incense, he began to extract his talent.
[White Talent: Scale Enhancement; White Talent: Swiftness; White Talent: Strength.]
Good, good, not even a single green talent, three white ones, he's practically a black devil. However, this was entirely within Gu Yuchuan's expectations. According to the law of conservation of luck, he had drawn a purple talent last time, and it would be difficult for him to draw a powerful talent again in the short term. This has always been the pattern, and he had some thoughts on this, so he wasn't too upset.
To be honest, none of these three talents were very useful. He randomly chose one and started his simulation.
[On the first day, you consumed a Jade Flower Pill and crushed several spirit stones before beginning your cultivation. With abundant resources, you noticed a significant improvement in the quality of your cultivation speed, which became extremely rapid.]
[On the second day, as you continued your cultivation, you could feel that you were getting closer and closer to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, the fourth level.]
On the third day, you gave your share of the past few days' earnings to the Black Shark Demon King. The large amount of spirit stones further improved his attitude towards you. He told you that if you could give him more than ten thousand spirit stones, he would grant you an incredible opportunity that would increase your chances of breaking through to the Golden Core stage. You happily agreed; this wealth was meant to increase your cultivation. Nothing was too much to give up.
[On the fourth day, you continued your cultivation and finally broke through to the fourth level of Foundation Establishment. Now in the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, your combat power has greatly improved.]
On the fifth day, while you were cultivating, you received news from the front lines that Pei Yu had disappeared during a reconnaissance mission, and it might not have been done by humans. After thinking for a while, you decided to go to the front lines anyway. Pei Yu was the great general you were planning to train; he couldn't die here.
On the sixth day, you searched the front lines all day and found some clues. You began to analyze these clues and gradually developed some ideas.
On the seventh day, you began investigating these clues and made a startling discovery: these cultivators didn't seem to be immortal cultivators; you had actually found fragments of mecha.
On the eighth day, while you were investigating, you were suddenly attacked. You fought them to the death for three hours, ultimately perishing together with a cultivator.
He let out a long breath. He hadn't expected such a big discovery in this simulation—mechs! Those were things from a technologically advanced civilization, definitely not something that should exist in the cultivation world. So why would these appear in the Qingyun Realm? Could it be that some unforeseen event had occurred?
He is unaware that all of this was caused by him. It was the spatial rift that allowed these outsiders to enter. He and these people are destined to fight each other. No matter what choice Gu Yuchuan makes, fate will bring them together, and they will fight to the death.
Forget it, there's no use thinking about it now. We should see how it goes first.
[This simulation has ended. Survival time: eight days. Cultivation level: Foundation Establishment Level 4. Bloodline: Mid-grade Spirit Beast, Viper. Evaluation: A little snake beginning its journey to becoming a powerful being; just don't lose its heart. Reward: 90 Dragon Points (40 points for surviving eight days, 50 points for advancing one level in cultivation).]
Eight days. He only survived for eight days. This was the fastest he had died in the recent simulation. He always felt that the mechs were related to him, even though he had no evidence. It was a feeling of destiny.
Let's redeem the reward first.
[This time, the redeemable reward is Foundation Establishment Level 4 cultivation (50 Divine Dragon Points). Redeem now?]
This was definitely an exchange. As the cultivation level entered his body, he could feel that his strength had greatly increased, by about five levels. This was the change in strength brought about by breaking through the barrier, but even so, he hadn't survived. Therefore, he had to find other ways to improve his strength again.
As he was pondering, Bai Li's voice rang out from outside the door: "Your Majesty, this humble demon has something to ask of you."
Bai Li rarely came to see him, so he must have discovered something from the stars and the astrological signs that made him come over so late at night.
