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

Gu Yuchuan pushed open the door, and the half-human, half-snake appearance was still very eye-catching, attracting inquisitive gazes everywhere. Although these demon generals could partially transform, most demons preferred their original form, since that way they could unleash their full power. In their transformed state, they could only have 80% of their strength. But he just liked the human form; the dexterity of these hands was really comfortable.

He wore a long blue robe that covered half of his tail, making him look like a scholarly young master. He walked happily and soon arrived at the residence of the Xuan Turtle Demon General. The servants outside did not recognize Gu Yuchuan in this form.

However, they still had good eyesight. Even if they didn't recognize him, they knew that the snake demon in front of them was a Foundation Establishment stage demon general, and that they should treat him with the utmost respect.

The crab general was very humble and spoke very politely: "May I ask which demon general you are, sir? This lowly demon is blind and does not recognize you. Please tell me your name, and I will go in and inform you."

This attitude is completely different from Gu Yuchuan's before. In the past, although these people were very polite to him, they were equals. Now, it's really flattery.

"Alright, I'm not a difficult person to talk to. Besides, we know each other. Go in and announce my arrival. I am Gu Yuchuan, the Green Snake King. I have just advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage and have come to pay my respects to the Xuan Turtle Demon General and receive my new title as a demon general."

The crab's small eyes were wide open, clearly very excited. It wasn't until Gu Yuchuan glanced at him that he reacted and immediately bowed while holding his pincers.

"So it's the Green Snake King! I was so blind. We've met many times, but I never recognized you. I congratulate you on your advancement to the Demon General realm. May your path to immortality be smooth and prosperous, and may you one day become a Demon King or Demon Emperor."

Gu Yuchuan waved his hand: "Stop, stop. No wonder you can guard the gate here with the demon general. You're good with words. Alright, I'm a senior now, so I can't not show my appreciation. Here's a Yellow Sprout Pill. It's not anything precious, but it can save you five days of hard training. Go on, and announce my arrival."

Crab General happily went to announce the arrival, and soon a clam spirit came out to greet him. He recognized the clam spirit as Jin Yushu, the head steward of the Xuan Turtle Demon General's household, whose cultivation was also at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. It was never Jin Yushu who had received him before, so it was clear that now that he had crossed this threshold, everything was different.

She hadn't even reached Gu Yuchuan yet. Her voice arrived first, a very cheerful and approachable one, befitting the head of the demon general's household. She certainly had the ability: "Great King Green Snake, it's been a long time! Come, let me lead you inside. I've prepared a feast to celebrate Your Majesty's promotion. Our Demon General is already waiting for you."

Gu Yuchuan nodded: "I am your subordinate, sir. It is really not right to make you wait. Let's go quickly, don't keep you waiting too long, that would be my fault."

Throughout the journey, Jin Yushu constantly flattered Gu Yuchuan. He had witnessed Jin Yushu's attitude towards Foundation Establishment demon generals before—it was always poised and dignified. She was completely different from her current obsequious manner. After all, the Xuan Turtle Demon General was one of the managing demon generals, holding a much higher position than ordinary demon generals. As the head steward of her household, she wouldn't actually need to fear other demon generals. This attitude could only mean one thing: he knew she was a Foundation Establishment Earthly Fiend, different from ordinary demon generals.

However, Gu Yuchuan didn't talk to her much. Soon, they arrived at the reception room, where the Xuan Turtle Demon General was waiting for him. After entering, he didn't immediately take a seat but first bowed in greeting.

"Greetings, Demon General. I have successfully broken through to the Demon General realm and have come to pay my respects."

The Xuan Turtle Demon General came down and helped him up: "Alright, from now on we are all demon generals, so let's support each other. You, me, and the Viper, the three of us will be an alliance. I believe that with the strength of the three of us, we can definitely compete for the Demon King's realm."

The Xuan Turtle Demon General was now extremely happy, thanks to these two allies from the Earthly Fiend Dao Foundations. His position was much more secure, and it might even allow him to become the highest-ranking demon general under the Black Fiend Demon King.

"Little Gu, you've broken through to the Demon General realm, and we're about to bestow upon you the title of Demon General. Do you still want to be the Green Snake Demon General?"

Gu Yuchuan didn't hesitate at all and immediately shook his head. This Green Serpent Demon General sounded too ordinary, and there were too many Green Serpents in Yunhai Marsh. This wouldn't do.

"My lord, I'm thinking of changing this title. This one sounds too awful. What do you think of Azure Scale Demon General?"

Xuan Gui nodded: "Sure, this is your title. Your happiness is the most important thing. Since you've chosen it, this is fine. Someone, go and get my seal and announce to the three armies that the Green Serpent King has been promoted to Green Scale Demon General. As for his logistics camp, he doesn't need to go back."

Gu Yuchuan was happy. He had just advanced in cultivation and was too busy to forge low-level magical artifacts. His first priority was to cultivate his magical abilities to match his Foundation Establishment stage combat power. His second priority was to improve his artifact crafting skills. Becoming a level two artifact crafter would significantly change his status. While magical artifacts were common, spiritual artifacts were rare, even among ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators. A single spiritual artifact could boost the combat power of an early or mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator by 30%. In fact, some Golden Core stage experts even used top-grade spiritual artifacts in combat.

"Little Gu, I've had someone call Viper over. First, to celebrate your arrival and let the three of us have a good drink. Second, I'd like to make some arrangements for your future actions. Come on, let's have a couple of drinks while we wait for Viper to arrive."

Gu Yuchuan raised his wine glass. As someone from China, how could he not understand the etiquette at the dinner table? As the subordinate, he naturally had to take the initiative: "Alright, I'll listen to you, sir. I'll toast you first. Although I am the biggest contributor to my current achievements, I think it would have been impossible without the help of the Demon General. This wine is to thank you for your help."

He was genuinely sincere in his words. The Black Tortoise Demon General and the Serpent Demon General had both been helpful to him. Although their intentions were to win him over, their actions, not their intentions, were truly invaluable to him.

The Xuan Turtle Demon General was even more satisfied. He had gone to so much trouble just to win them over. Gu Yuchuan was grateful and naturally helped them get closer. Soon, the two of them started calling each other brothers.
