I have a cultivation simulator

"A mid-grade spiritual root!"

Seeing this, Zhou Qing was greatly encouraged.

In the previous two simulations, Zhou Qing's low-grade spiritual root aptitude greatly limited his cultivation speed.

Different spiritual root aptitudes mean different speeds of refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The same wisp of magical power requires a hundred wisps of spiritual energy from heaven and earth for a cultivator with a low-grade spiritual root to refine.

A cultivator with a mid-grade spiritual root can refine eighty strands of spiritual energy from heaven and earth.

The difference of twenty strands of spiritual energy, over the years, will inevitably lead to a significant gap.

Zhou Qing's spiritual root aptitude has improved from low-grade to mid-grade. It might not be noticeable in three to five years.

But if we look at a longer timeframe, twenty or fifty years? Eighty or a hundred years? Then perhaps it's a difference in perspective.

Moreover, for Zhou Qing, the impact of a mid-grade spiritual root is not limited to a single simulation.

Instead, it will be simulated every time.

"Once this simulation ends, if I choose to inherit the cultivation level, realm, skills, techniques, memories, etc. from the simulation, I can also inherit my mid-grade spiritual root talent..."

A smile appeared on Zhou Qing's face.

Having gained experience from the previous two complete simulations, Zhou Qing had a general understanding of the two inheritance options that appeared after the simulation ended.

One of the options is to inherit the cultivation level, realm, skills, techniques, memories, etc. from the simulation.

Essentially, it refers to Zhou Qing himself within the simulation, belonging to the inner self.

As for the second option, inherit a treasure you already own in the simulation.

It belongs to external objects.

Of course, whether it is oneself or external objects, everything inherited from the simulation will have all negative states and many causes and effects erased.

For example, when inheriting from oneself, one only inherits cultivation level, etc., and does not inherit elixirs, drug resistance, etc.

"The ability of the Azure Moon Pool to enhance spiritual root aptitude can only be effective once for cultivators, as there will be drug resistance. I can simply wash away the drug resistance in the next simulation and then soak in it again, and so on..."

"It's only a matter of time before my spiritual root aptitude reaches the superior grade."

Zhou Qing was overjoyed.

With a superior spiritual root aptitude, he is already at the normal level among Foundation Establishment cultivators. Even without relying on the talent of "Poison Eliminator," he has a slim hope of breaking through to the Core Formation stage.

......

"If we calculate the time, there are still six years until the auction of that Dark Demon Eagle Egg..."

Zhou Qing thought to himself.

The Dark Demon Eagle possesses a Grade Earth bloodline, equivalent to the Earth Spirit Root of a human cultivator. It can easily reach the Foundation Establishment stage and has a considerable chance of breaking through to the third-tier Great Demon realm.

A third-tier great demon is comparable to a Core Formation True Person among human cultivators.

Cultivating a Dark Eagle at the Foundation Establishment level would also be a guarantee for Zhou Qing's own safety.

Furthermore, the lifespan of demonic beasts is longer than that of human cultivators. Before Zhou Qing's lifespan limit is reached in this simulation, he can sell the Dark Demon Eagle to other forces.

Make another fortune.

The value of a dark eagle lies not only in its combat prowess.

For powerful factions, the bloodline of the Dark Eagle, that is, its reproductive ability, is of greater importance.

[After your spiritual root has evolved to the middle grade, leave the palace immediately.]

Elder Wu left long ago. You've been soaking in the Azure Moon Pool for several days. As one of the four elders of the Pill Hall, Elder Wu naturally couldn't wait for you indefinitely.

Upon returning to the Pill Pavilion, you did not immediately begin cultivation, but instead began to bathe.

The two female cultivators, Chunhua and Qiuyue, were very considerate; after you finished bathing, they carefully dried your body.

[Once everything is ready, you begin your first cultivation session after the transformation of your spiritual root.]

[During this cultivation session, you clearly felt that your cultivation speed had increased significantly.]

[This is still the cultivation speed of a mid-grade spiritual root.]

Are you satisfied with this?

[A few days later, you received a letter from the mortal Zhou family.]

[Early on, after you sent the first letter to the Zhou family, you left your address at the end of the letter.]

In the cultivation world, it is not uncommon for cultivators to send letters to mortals. Many cultivators who are new to the cultivation world have relatives left behind in the mortal realm.

Even in the mortal realm, there are specific locations for sending letters to the cultivation world.

You open the letter and read it quickly.

The letter contained very little, mostly just a message to let the letter know that everything was alright.

The letter also mentioned Da Chun.

In the past two years, it has been confirmed that the Zhou family has stabilized in the Lie Kingdom, and Da Chun often goes to the deep mountains to cultivate.

"As long as everything is alright."

You put away the letter and continue your cultivation.

In the fourth year, at the age of twenty, you vaguely sense that you have hit a bottleneck in your alchemy skills.

[You didn't panic or get anxious. While continuing to refine pills every day, you also began to study other skills.]

[In the fifth year, you are twenty-one years old. After several years of accumulation, your reputation has gradually spread throughout the Immortal City. Every day, cultivators come to your door seeking pills, including many Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.]

As an alchemist, the older you get, the more sought-after and lucrative you become, provided you have a good reputation.

Many alchemists cheat and deliberately hide their pills during the alchemy process, resulting in a bad reputation and naturally few cultivators seeking their pills.

Although you occasionally hoard pills, you ensure a normal output, striving to satisfy every cultivator who seeks pills. Over time, your reputation will naturally improve.

[In the sixth year, at the age of twenty-two, in addition to alchemy, you have entered the middle-grade level in the art of talismanic arts.]

The arts of alchemy and the arts of talismans share many similarities. For example, alchemy requires the alchemist's control, and so does talisman drawing. How could one possibly concentrate surging magical power onto a small piece of talisman paper without precise control?

[Furthermore, since you are at the Foundation Establishment stage, your progress in comprehending talismanic arts will naturally far surpass that of other Qi Refining stage cultivators with similar talent.]

Compared to alchemy, talismanic arts offer greater enhancements to combat power; a single offensive talisman can often turn the tide of battle.

[In the seventh year, you are twenty-three years old. Following your success in the Path of Talismans, you have also successfully advanced to the middle rank in the Path of Beast Taming, becoming a middle-rank Beast Tamer.]

[A mid-level Beast Tamer, capable of controlling three spirit pets simultaneously]

It is said that high-level beast tamers can achieve a fusion with their spirit pets, sharing some of the pet's abilities.

[In the eighth year, you are twenty-four years old and have reached the peak of the first level of Foundation Establishment.]

This is several years faster than you predicted.

[It's quite obvious that the benefits of a mid-grade spiritual root for you are beginning to show.]

If your spiritual root aptitude is still low-grade, it will probably take you another three or four years to reach the peak of the first level of Foundation Establishment.

In addition, the talent for eliminating erysipelas also played a crucial role.

[The Talent Elixir, while not allowing your cultivation speed to skyrocket, can forcibly elevate your existing spiritual root aptitude by half a level.]

For example, if your spiritual root talent is low-grade, by using the talent of being able to resist pill poison and taking pills frequently, your cultivation speed can approach that of a mid-grade spiritual root cultivator.

However, if your spiritual root talent is of the middle grade, relying on the Elixir of Poison, your cultivation speed will approach that of a cultivator with a high-grade spiritual root.

The same applies to Earth-grade and Heaven-grade spiritual roots.

In your ninth year, at twenty-five, you've reached your peak and are beginning to challenge your limits.

You have entered the second level of Foundation Establishment.
