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

After the cultivation entered his body, he could feel that his combat power had increased by nearly 50%. If he were to fight the Cloud Leopard again, he would definitely be able to kill it within three moves, without having to fight for so long.

He looked at the Earthly Fiend Qi in his hand, wondering how to deal with it. He had two ideas.

The first option is to exchange it for resources. The resources he can get are enough for him to cultivate to the late Foundation Establishment stage. However, exchanging precious things for common resources is not a very good thing, and he is somewhat unwilling. There is no other reason than that the rarity is not equal. For example, those resources are worth 100,000 spirit stones, and this Earthly Fiend Qi is also worth 100,000 spirit stones. But you can buy resources with 100,000 spirit stones, but you can't buy Earthly Fiend Qi.

The second thing is to cultivate Pei Yu. We just saw in the simulation that Pei Yu has the potential to become a warrior, which is a talent that their Flood Dragon Palace lacks. If Pei Yu is cultivated, their Flood Dragon Palace will have an extraordinary second leader in the future. She can stand on her own, and I can have some free time to cultivate properly. This is a very good thing. However, Pei Yu has only sworn an oath to the Heavenly Dao and has not signed any contract. Her loyalty is still a little lacking.

Gu Yuchuan thought about it for a long time and finally decided to use it to cultivate his own power. After all, he was not lacking in spirit stones, and he could also improve his cultivation level with a simulator. He did not value resources that much. However, if he did not cultivate his subordinates this time, it might have a great impact on his future development. However, he needed to improve Pei Yu's loyalty.

Having thought all this through, he stopped worrying. Now he was going out to find the Viper. He wanted to ask about his bloodline inheritance, since he and the Viper were demon beasts on the same cultivation path, so asking him was always the right thing to do. Fortunately, the other party was also on the front lines, and the demons in the Viper's mansion knew Gu Yuchuan, so they quickly led him inside.

The viper was waiting for him in the bedroom. The moment the viper saw Gu Yuchuan, its two triangular pupils widened, even dilating: "Truly, the younger generation is formidable. I spent five whole years honing my skills at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining to reach my current level. You've only been at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining for a short time, yet you've already refined the Earthly Fiend Qi. It seems all my years of accumulation have gone to waste."

His words came from the bottom of his heart. Others might not be able to see Gu Yuchuan's Earthly Fiend Qi, but as the owner of the Earthly Fiend Dao Foundation, he could naturally sense it. The newcomer in front of him had already refined the Earthly Fiend Qi and was about to forge the Earthly Fiend Dao Foundation just like him.

To a certain extent, the two are already competitors. After all, their cultivation levels are similar, as are their bloodlines and potential, which will definitely affect the other's standing among the demon race. However, Gu Yuchuan hasn't thought of this yet, since his Earthly Fiend Qi hasn't been revealed. But this Viper is also a person of integrity and upright character, and the two have a good relationship. They aren't angry with each other and won't use any underhanded tactics. They'll compete like gentlemen.

Gu Yuchuan, on the other hand, was a little at a loss when he heard the snake say that. He had come to ask for advice, and if the other party was full of sour grapes, how could he answer his questions? Of course not. So, he had to praise him now.

"Brother Viper, what you're saying is true. I owe my current achievements to your help. Otherwise, I certainly wouldn't have my current cultivation level. On the contrary, you hold a high position and are valued by the higher-ups in the demon race. I'm just a little demon. How could I be as powerful as you say?"

His self-deprecation made the viper laugh: "Alright, I'm not a petty person. I was just saying a few words. We're allies. Your strength is also beneficial to me. You never come here without a reason. What brings you here this time? Tell me, and I'll definitely help you if I can."

Gu Yuchuan didn't hold back: "Brother Viper, I remember you told me that when a demon advances to the level of a spirit beast, it will have an inheritance, but I don't have one. I don't even know how to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage."

The viper's eyes were a little cloudy as it looked at Gu Yuchuan: "Brother, you're a smart man, and we have a good relationship, so I won't keep you in suspense. I can handle both of these matters, but the kindness of passing on the Dao is not something that can be easily repaid. Are you sure you want to owe me such a huge debt of karma?"

Gu Yuchuan understood that among cultivators, the debt of passing on knowledge was equal to the debt of saving a life. Today, he was seeking guidance from the Serpent, which meant he owed him an immense debt of gratitude. However, he had no other choice. His future was a vast ocean, but he had no boat to cross it. Now, he had come to the Serpent to ask for that boat.

He nodded solemnly: "I've thought it through, Brother Viper. I'm willing to owe you this favor, no matter what it is, I'm willing to accept it."

The viper nodded. He was also very happy. Being able to have a deeper connection with someone with great potential would be good for his future. If the two of them could truly join forces, the road ahead would be much easier. Moreover, he really did have something else to do.

"Alright, let me state my requirements first. If you can accept them, we can make a deal. If not, then forget it. Thirty miles east of here, there is a Heavenly Profound Mystic Realm. It will open next week. Deep within it, there is a third-tier spiritual fruit, the Dragon-Snake Fruit. There are five in total, and I need you to bring me four."

Upon hearing it was the Heavenly Profound Mystic Realm, he was actually willing. After all, he had entered it twice in the simulation and knew very well what was inside. His cultivation and combat power were already the strongest in the Heavenly Profound Mystic Realm; even Ningzhi was probably only on par with him. With careful handling, there shouldn't be any problems.

"Okay, I agree, but what is this Dragon Snake Fruit? I've never heard of it."

The viper laughed out loud: "It's my fault. I forgot that you haven't inherited anything yet. Your Dragon-Snake Fruit is a spiritual fruit formed from the bloodline of a fallen horned dragon. It can purify our bloodline. If I eat four, I can advance to become a high-grade spirit beast horned dragon. At that time, I will truly have some of the divine abilities of the dragon race. I'll leave one for you, so that you can get a little closer to the viper."

Gu Yuchuan was very happy. Although one pill was definitely not enough to advance his bloodline, taking it a step further would be the best outcome.

"Okay, I understand. Don't worry, I will definitely bring the Dragon Serpent Fruit back to you. However, please explain this to me first, as it has already affected my cultivation."

The viper thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, then I'll tell you first."
