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

They first spent half an hour exploring the entire Mingxi. Although Mingxi was unclaimed, it didn't mean there were no demonic beasts here. Among them were three demonic beasts at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, who occupied the spring, the spirit stone mine, and the jade mine. They were quite fortunate to have such a good place despite their low cultivation level. However, everything changed with Gu Yuchuan's arrival.

The one occupying the spirit spring is a clam spirit with a cultivation level of Qi Refining Level 5. She also appears to be a demon beast, albeit a low-grade one. However, if she could be tamed, she would be quite valuable. The spirit stone mine and the jade mine are occupied by a bullfrog and a crucian carp, respectively, both at the Qi Refining Level 4 and with bloodlines that are not of high grade. Nevertheless, they do possess cultivation. If they are willing to join, Gu Yuchuan would be willing to take them in. They are at least some fighting force, and it would be good to have them stationed at the mines.

Now, they stopped above the Spirit Spring, the place where they were about to build their cave dwelling. The clam spirit rushed out; she had a beautiful figure, and her two large clam shells added to her exotic beauty.

"Who are you, senior? This is my territory. We Yunhaize have rules. We can't just kill monsters at will because of our cultivation level. Although my cultivation is low, I will not give up this spiritual spring."

Bai Ming glanced at Gu Yuchuan and immediately understood his meaning. A cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining was not qualified to speak directly to their king. Bai Ming then stepped forward.

"How dare you! You say this is your territory, so this is your territory? Our Green Serpent King is the master of Mingxi, personally appointed by the Xuan Turtle Demon General. If you have any sense of propriety, get out of here immediately, and we might spare your life. But if you are so ignorant of death and continue to occupy our territory, then your only fate will be death."

After she finished speaking, Gu Yuchuan cooperated by showing the seal, which was the certificate of his investiture. Within Mingxi's territory, he could use this seal to unleash 30% more combat power than he had in full victory. It was an extremely powerful thing. This method was passed down by the demon clan's venerable one, involving fortune and destiny, and was incredibly mysterious.

This clam spirit knew how powerful it was. Although demonic beasts couldn't attack at will, if she lingered there, it would be a malicious provocation, even disrespect for the demon general. It would be justified for the demon general to kill her. However, she was unwilling to give up the spring. She only had the bloodline of a low-grade demonic beast. Although she had reached a certain level, it wasn't anything special. Without this spring, her cultivation speed would be much slower.

She looked at Gu Yuchuan with resentment, and Gu Yuchuan knew that it was his turn to speak.

"Clam spirit, I see you have potential. Today, I am building a palace here, and it is fate that you can meet me. I will ask you once: are you willing to join my ranks and serve me? You will not only be able to live here, but I will also guide your cultivation. After the palace is completed, I will set up a spirit-gathering array and a spirit-gathering magic artifact here. The spiritual energy here is more abundant than you can imagine. I have said all I have to say. You should consider it carefully."

Actually, staying was the best choice for the clam spirit, because clam spirits were not a race that was good at fighting, and she did not have any powerful magical artifacts or spells. It was good that she could have a home now. She thought about it, her expression became calm, and she knelt down.

"Pei Yu greets Your Majesty. Today I join Your Majesty's ranks and will certainly be loyal and devoted to Your Majesty in the future."

Gu Yuchuan smiled with satisfaction. The palace hadn't even been built yet, and he had already taken in a subordinate with the bloodline of a low-grade demon beast at the fifth level of Qi Refining. How could this not be considered a great start? Sure enough, he was a lucky little snake.

He took out a lot of materials from his storage bag and began to build the underwater palace. In fact, the water monsters all had a strong desire for underwater palaces, because their king was a dragon, and the dragons lived in the Dragon Palace underwater. Naturally, they also coveted this palace.

However, the Dragon Palace was built using spirit stones and spirit mines. He didn't have that much wealth. He used some bluestone and jade, with jade making up a good proportion. However, jade wasn't considered valuable in the cultivation world. He had a lot of it, and with the blessing of magic power, a white jade palace was quickly built.

The palace wasn't too large, considering the size of Yunxi. A large area wouldn't be ideal; other aquatic creatures needed some space to roam. He came to Mingxi as king to manage it and make it stronger, not to leave them with no way to survive. He considered all the creatures here as his wealth. As they grew, they would either join his forces or pay tribute to him. He understood sustainable development; this was the wisdom he brought with him from his time travel.

He named this palace the Dragon Palace. Although he is not a dragon now, he believes that it won't be long before he becomes a real dragon. That time won't be too far away.

The palace was divided into four areas. The first was the reception hall, where they held meetings and received guests. This was also the most prestigious place, with a very high ceiling made entirely of a single piece of white jade. Under the glowing pearls, it shone brightly, and the soft light made people feel as if they had entered a fairyland. Below, there were some jade and gold and silver carvings, including cranes, dragons, and phoenixes, which added a lot of wealth and nobility. There were also many different kinds of corals, which looked very grand and extraordinary. Gu Yuchuan liked them very much.

The second one is the warehouse. This place is more low-key and not very big. Their wealth will be stored here in the future. Gu Yuchuan used his magic power to set up a barrier on it, so it is safe. In the future, some defensive formations will definitely be added.

The third area is Gu Yuchuan's own cave dwelling. It is built above the spiritual spring, which is also the place with the most abundant spiritual energy. However, his cave dwelling is not built too ornately, but rather in a simple style. He likes a more grand cave dwelling, so the decoration is just a dragon carved from white jade. It is worth mentioning that he used a whole piece of bluestone to make a large bed, which is covered with soft silk, so he will sleep very comfortably in the future.

The last area is the subordinates' cave dwellings. Each cave dwelling is not very large, but they are not far from the location of the spiritual spring. There are even passages connecting the cave dwellings to the spiritual spring, ensuring that their cultivation speed is very fast.

Looking at the cave dwelling, Gu Yuchuan was very satisfied. He placed his Spirit Gathering Jade Pendant under the bed. Instantly, the spiritual energy concentration in the entire Flood Dragon Palace increased by two points, and everyone's cultivation speed increased even faster.
