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

The next step in forging the spirit sword is shaping. The first step is to use magic to mold the liquid into the shape of a longsword. Swords are light and agile weapons, so there are requirements for their shape. First, you must be light enough, otherwise the movement will lose its artistic conception.

Soon, the shape of the sword was taken shape. The Azure Serpent Spirit Realm had some characteristics of a serpent in it. Its body was not straight, but had appropriate curves in some places, making it look like a venomous snake.

The final step was quenching, which formally solidified the spiritual weapon. He even used Heavenly Profound Heavy Water for quenching, which could make the finished product even more powerful. Sure enough, as he worked on it, the spiritual weapon slowly began to reveal its true form.

A curved, emerald-green longsword appeared before him. This longsword exuded an aura of power, and anyone who saw it would think it was a divine weapon. At the very least, Gu Yuchuan liked it very much. This thing could definitely be considered a high-quality low-grade spiritual weapon, and it would definitely sell for 1,200 or 1,300 yuan.

He was very excited. However, Gu Yuchuan did not consider this item a sale. He had someone give the Green Serpent Spirit Sword to the Xuan Turtle Demon General. It's a matter of human relationships; you can't always expect the other party to give. Only when the other party sees a return will they be willing to give again. He understood this principle.

This magical artifact is quite precious in the hands of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but for Gu Yuchuan, it's just a material worth about three hundred spirit stones, nothing at all. This is the confidence of a weapon refiner.

As expected, the Xuan Turtle Demon General was very happy after receiving it. Although he was in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage and had a spiritual weapon, it was a defensive one. He really lacked an offensive spiritual weapon. Although he did not know how to use a longsword, simply using magic power to unleash poison or transforming into a spirit snake would be a good way to fight enemies and would greatly enhance his combat power. He was very happy, and his goodwill towards Gu Yuchuan also increased.

He personally instructed his servants to prepare a very fine banquet, using only second-grade materials. This banquet would cost around two hundred spirit stones. Then he invited Gu Yuchuan to his home as a guest. They ate, drank, listened to music, and watched dances that night, and had a very happy time. At the banquet, the Xuan Turtle Demon General reassured him that he would definitely be allowed to return home within three days.

Gu Yuchuan was also very excited after hearing about this. For most cultivators, the benefits of this battlefield outweigh the drawbacks, because the path to immortality is all about competition. If you don't compete, how can you obtain resources and break through? You can only remain mediocre. However, Gu Yuchuan himself has great opportunities. He has a simulator, and as long as he is safe and has resources, he can keep advancing, whether it is in terms of bloodline or cultivation.

After returning to his residence following the banquet, he resumed his normal daily routine: cultivation and enjoyment. He was running out of materials for weapon crafting; after all, he was in the military, and trade was limited, making it inconvenient to buy materials. So he simply stopped, deciding to wait until he returned to Yunhai Marsh. Without weapon crafting, his days became much more leisurely. After all, there was a daily quota for cultivation time, and too much cultivation would be detrimental to his mental strength.

Fortunately, the Xuan Turtle Demon General was indeed diligent in his work. On the third day, he received a transfer order. The order stated that since the battlefield was currently at a standstill, so many people were not needed. Therefore, the Azure Scale Demon General was to return to the Cloud Sea Marsh. If needed, he would be summoned again.

Having obtained this means he can go back. However, there is still a very important matter to attend to: exchanging his battle merits for resources. Although he hasn't been in the army for long, he has accumulated quite a few battle merits, which can be exchanged for a lot of resources.

The person in charge of exchanging the items was actually the White Crane Demon General. The White Crane Demon General looked at him with a very unnatural expression. In fact, the two of them had a very good relationship at first, but as time went by, too many things happened, which led to a twist of fate and the two of them becoming enemies. In addition, Gu Yuchuan has now surpassed him in combat power, so it is understandable that the other party is not happy.

"You can choose whatever you want to exchange it for yourself." The White Crane Demon General's tone wasn't very friendly, even a bit impatient. Clearly, he didn't really want to talk to Gu Yuchuan, but Gu Yuchuan didn't care.

He took out a jade slip and handed it to the White Crane Demon General: "This contains everything I want to exchange for."

The jade slip contained materials for refining weapons, all worth over two thousand spirit stones. Once in Gu Yuchuan's hands, earning back three times that amount would be no problem at all. Then, he could cultivate while lying among the spirit stones.

The White Crane Demon General's expression turned somewhat unpleasant as he looked at the information in the jade slip. He was no junior himself and naturally knew that these materials were for refining spiritual artifacts. In other words, the junior in front of him was now a level two artifact refiner. This status was enough for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to curry favor with. However, he really couldn't bring himself to do it to curry favor with a junior with whom he had a grudge. In the end, he remained professional and did not show any change in his emotions.

"You wait here. Give me your identification token, and I'll go exchange it for you."

He was gone for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. When he returned, he was carrying a storage bag.

"Here you go, these are the resources you've exchanged. If there's nothing else, you can leave now. I have a lot of things to do here, I'm quite busy."

Gu Yuchuan didn't say anything and left directly. In their current awkward relationship, the one who couldn't let go and couldn't get over it was the White Crane Demon General, not him. He had nothing to worry about.

After returning home, he began packing his things, humming a cheerful tune. Since ancient times, returning home in glory has always been a joyous occasion. He was finally able to return to his Dragon Palace. He wondered how his subordinates were doing, and whether any of the spirit fish had gained intelligence. These were all matters of great concern to him.

It was only just past noon, the perfect time to travel. Without waiting, he set off immediately. He sent word to the Black Tortoise Demon General and the Ink Scale Demon General that he was going back first, and that they would all get together and have fun after they returned.

On the way back, he traveled even faster, since his cultivation had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and his travel speed was incomparable to what it used to be. However, he did not expect that something would actually happen on the way. He actually encountered an ambush, which he could not understand. Wasn't the ambush resolved?
