Simulator: Starting as a Green Snake and Transforming into a Dragon

He found a quiet corner in the cave, lay down comfortably, and began to simulate the process. Cultivation was important, but enjoyment was also very important.

[Congratulations, host, on activating the eighth simulation. We will now begin drawing talents.]

[White Talent: Scale Enhancement; White Talent: Swiftness; Purple Talent: Soaring Through the Clouds.]

He rubbed his eyes with his tail. Good heavens, this was actually a purple talent! But soaring through the clouds, isn't that just the supernatural power of flight? Why is the grade so high? Oh well, he couldn't figure it out, so he just chose it. No one would choose a white talent over a purple one. He hummed a little tune and happily continued simulating.

[Host selects purple talent: Soaring Through the Clouds. Simulation begins.]

On the first day, you went to Yunxi Palace and met the Serpent King. You tearfully told him that the Crab General had died at the hands of the Monkey Spirit, and that the Monkey Spirit had the Beast Taming Sect behind him. The Serpent King was shocked and ordered that you be well taken care of while he went to deal with the matter.

The next day, you descended to Yunxi Palace, enjoying delicious food and fine wine, admiring the beautiful clam maiden. With nothing else to do, you even had her sing you a little song, thoroughly enjoying yourself.

On the third day, you continued your cultivation at Yunxi Palace. You discovered that the spiritual energy here was abundant, and your cultivation speed increased significantly, which made you very happy.

[On the fourth day, you wanted to go home, but Lord Black Serpent personally came to reassure you, insisting that you stay put. You understand that for such a significant matter, keeping you here is the best way to prevent leaks. You understand, but you still feel uneasy, and your desire for power has grown even stronger.]

On the fifth day, the Serpent King summoned you and bestowed upon you two treasures: a Spirit Gathering Array and a mid-grade magic artifact, the Mysterious Jade Token. He said your report had been verified, and the demon race's higher-ups took it very seriously. Let's go, let's eliminate the demon race's traitor.

On the sixth day, you followed countless aquatic creatures ashore and began your attack on the Monkey Forest. The Serpent King unleashed his divine power, killing countless monkey spirits. Even the Monkey King was no match for him. Until all the monkeys were dead, no human cultivators appeared. Yunxi River achieved a great victory.

On the seventh day, the Serpent King rewarded you with ten Crimson Cloud Fruits. You accepted the reward and happily returned to your cave to begin your cultivation. The koi was overjoyed to see you return, thinking you were dead. You kicked him with your tail and then went to cultivate.

On the eighth day, you consumed the Crimson Cloud Fruit and began your cultivation. With the advancement of your bloodline and the effects of the Crimson Cloud Fruit, your cultivation level steadily improved.

On the ninth day, you continued your spiritual practice.

……

[On the twenty-sixth day, you successfully advanced to the fifth level of Qi Refining. Your strength is now considerably greater than that of the Crab General, making you a rare expert in the Cloud Creek River.]

[On the twenty-seventh day, you had just stepped outside when a sword light pierced through you. Faintly, you heard a voice: "What is that thing, daring to ruin my Beast Taming Sect's plans? Damn it!"]

[This simulation has ended. Survival time: 27 days. Cultivation level: Qi Refining Level 5. Achievement: Overcoming the odds. Evaluation: A demonic beast with some strength, but who underestimated the heroes of the world. Reward: 285 Dragon Points. (135 points for surviving for 27 days, 100 points for achieving the achievement, and 50 points for cultivation advancement).)

No way. He angrily pounded the ground with his tail. Were the people of the Beast Taming Sect really this petty? He had been waiting outside his cave for so long, and there was even the Serpent King. It seemed that his Cloud Tide Palace wasn't very safe either. At the very least, people knew that he was the one who sent the message. He was so angry that his triangular pupils were about to turn into their original shapes. Sure enough, he still needed to be more careful.

[Rewards available for this simulation: Purple Talent: Soaring Through the Clouds (150 Dragon Points). Qi Refining Level 5 (50 Dragon Points), Spirit Gathering Array (50 Dragon Points), Mystic Jade Token (100 Dragon Points). Redeem now?]

He's a bit worried now. This harvest is the biggest he's ever had in all his simulations. It's a pity he doesn't have enough Dragon Points. He's wishing he could grab the simulator and ask me for some money. He's looking at all the good stuff in the simulator, unwilling to give up a single one. These are all his treasures, and he can't bear to be separated from them.

However, the simulator was already urging him on, so he had no choice but to make a choice: exchange for the Cloud Riding Skill, the fifth level of Qi Refining, and the Spirit Gathering Array. As for the Xuan Yu Token, his Azure Scale Armor was also a defensive divine ability, and for the time being, it was the most defensive magic weapon, so it wasn't a necessity.

He composed himself, said goodbye to the jade tablet he had missed, and began to review the situation.

First, there's the gain: he's already placed the Spirit Gathering Array in his cave dwelling. It does indeed increase the speed of cultivation and is a very useful and practical array. Second, there's cultivation level. As the most core thing for a cultivator, advancement must always be the top priority. Finally, there's the talent for flying through the clouds. Although he only knows that the other party can fly and can't sense any other wonders, just based on its purple grade, he believes that this is the biggest gain from this simulation.

He began to think about his next step. Although he had died at the hands of humans this time, at least he knew one thing: reporting to the Serpent King could temporarily resolve the matter. That was enough. As long as he could live a peaceful life, he could cultivate in peace.

What he needs to do now is to find out who the person who sent the message to the human race is. He recalls his experiences in the simulator bit by bit. He has only seen three fairies in Yunxi Palace: the Clam Girl, Lord Black Snake, and Shrimp Soldier. But he doesn't know which of the three is the traitor. He can't rule out any of them from the information he has.

Looking at his simulation attempts, he realized he only had one left. If he used it to find the traitor, he might not be able to simulate again for a while, which was obviously a very difficult thing for him. He didn't want to use it, not to mention that he had three candidates, and one simulation attempt might not be enough. For a moment, he couldn't make a decision. At this moment, the sound of Jinli came from outside the cave.

"Fellow Daoist Green Snake, are you home? I found some fresh sea grapes, they're especially delicious, I'll bring you some."

He's a silly lucky charm. After all, whether in reality or in the simulator, the lucky charm has helped me and shown me a lot of kindness. I should treat him well, otherwise he'd be an ingrate.

He opened the barrier and let the koi fish in.

The koi looked at him cautiously, "Fellow Daoist Green Snake, is something troubling you? Why don't you tell me? Although I'm not good at fighting, I'm lucky. Maybe I can solve your problem?"
