Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace

Chapter 116: 116 Heart Method - Realm of Transcendence

[Would you like to start the Immortal Cultivation Simulator?]

”Yes.”

[Day 4 of the Great Turmoil: The Shangyi Bureau has completed the silk stockings. While delivering dumplings to the Empress, you gave her black silk stockings. You took advantage of the situation, kissed her, and the Empress blushed, trying to push you away. But sensing the possibility, you pushed her onto the Phoenix Bed and had a taste of the big white buns.

The Empress pushed you away, expressing it would be nice if you weren’t a eunuch. You revealed your true identity, leaving the Empress stunned. You took the opportunity to kiss her again.

You confirmed your relationship.

Because you were somewhat cautious, you did not linger in the tender embrace. You then headed to Fengyang Pavilion to heal Zhao Jiangning.

Before you arrived, Zhao Jiangning had another episode and fainted from pain.

After feeding Zhao Jiangning the potion, Zhao Fujin asked if you could teach her the massage technique. You taught her, but after she tried it with no effect, she began to doubt you. To this, you expressed that you were unsure as well. Despite her continued suspicion, she had no choice but to let you do the massage.

Due to the intense pain, this time Zhao Jiangning gathered immense courage and asked you to treat her abdomen, which you did.

Zhao Fujin observed your technique and realized it was the same as what you taught her, gradually dispelling her doubts.

On that day, you replaced Wang Ying’s position.

The Empress even had someone clean the courtyard for you, allowing you to move in that very day.

[Day 5: The Hongfu Ice Shop officially opened.

You once again exchanged feelings with Consort Jing.

Your relationship with the Empress became increasingly intimate. In private, you even dared to climb the Phoenix Bed and hug the Empress.

Through efforts from yesterday and today, you absorbed all the Yin Yang Qi in Zhao Jiangning’s abdomen. Due to the intimate nature of your contact, Zhao Jiangning developed a unique sentiment towards you.]

[Day 6: The Empress’s menstrual cycle ended, but you followed the army to Nanyang. Before leaving, you learned that the Hongfu Ice Shop earned vast sums of money the previous day, and Consort Jing gave you a Peace Blessing she had woven overnight.]

[Day 7: Huangfu Hao led the cavalry to reach Nanyang first.]

[Day 8: You arrived in Nanyang.]

[Day 9: While quelling the rebellion, you found Nanyang’s most beautiful woman, Luo Zhen, in a rundown Daoist Temple and took her in.]

[Day 10: You captured a city during the war, and you executed the first two techniques of the Eight Desolates Prison to perfection.]

[Day 11: You led the Eastern Capital troops to annihilate a rebel army of three thousand, earning Huangfu Hao’s admiration.

That day, all thirty-two cities in Nanyang County were reclaimed. Due to consecutive days using the Red Dragon Demon Arm, you found it hard to suppress. That night, you harmonized Yin and Yang with Luo Zhen, and with the accumulated Yin Yang Qi from previous days, you were only a step away from becoming a Fourth Grade Martial Artist.]

[Day 12: The military held a victory banquet. Due to your outstanding performance in recent days, you gained considerable prestige at the banquet.

That night, you harmonized Yin and Yang with Luo Zhen again. With the help of Phoenix Qi, you advanced to a Fourth Grade Martial Artist, and Luo Zhen stepped into the Ninth Grade Martial Artist realm, entering the ranks of martial artists.

As her man, you decided to help her avenge her father’s death and dismantle the entire Black Shadow Killer Organization, which undoubtedly placed you in opposition to Noble Consort Hu.]

[Day 13: A light rain fell in Nanyang, and you contemplated the rain, reaching the Realm of Transcendence in your Heart Method.

That day, while guarding one of the cities in Nanyang, Xu Dabong presented you with a treasure sword that could cut through iron like mud, claiming it was found in a dry well of a dilapidated household.]

[Day 14: You found a Vermilion Fruit on the Great Yellow Mountain.]

[Simulation ended, you can retain one of the following items.]

[Option 1: The realm of a Fourth Grade Martial Artist.]

[Option 2: The location of Luozhen Daoist Temple.]

[Option 3: The Heart Method - Realm of Transcendence.]

Chen Mo glanced over the three options, feeling a bit indecisive.

He weighed the options between one and three.

Because the Realm of Transcendence for the Heart Method would allow Chen Mo’s body technique to achieve the Shifting Form and Position effect of Lin Su Ya’s, which was very cool.

A moment later.

Chen Mo chose option three.

The reason for choosing option three instead of option one.

Was due to the issue of silver taels.

If he chose option one, the next simulation would require a recharge of sixteen thousand taels due to the increase in strength.

But choosing the Heart Method means it wouldn’t.

Then, in tomorrow’s simulation, he could choose the realm and save eight thousand taels.

Soon, Chen Mo felt his mind become clear, and the fatigue from his body was swept away instantly. Additionally, Chen Mo noticed that his senses became sharper.

Even without activating the Ancient Heavy Pupils, he could see in the dark just as well as in daylight.

And as he had guessed.

The silver taels required for the next simulation did not increase.

[Today’s simulation attempts have been used up.]

[Cooldown time: 24 hours, next simulation, eight thousand taels. Early recharges are possible.]

Chen Mo hurriedly fumbled under the bed for Wang Ying’s money box, recharging with the gold and jewelry.

After all, those items are not as easy to carry as silver notes. When going to Nanyang, he could at most take the silver notes, not a box full of gold and jewels.

...

The next day, he got up early.

After making breakfast for Xiao Yunxi, he went to the Infantry Department.

These days in the Soldier and Infantry Department, he wasn’t just passing time but was training with the hundred men, rehearsing some battle arrays.

Besides, he had become adept at galloping on horseback, and even fighting with a lance mounted.

After staying in the Infantry Department until noon, Chen Mo went to his purchased shop, then went to the Xiao Mansion, and as per Xiao Yunxi’s instructions, he signed a profit-sharing contract with the Xiao Mansion.

The process went smoothly, and he was even invited by the Xiao Mansion’s butler to stay for lunch.

When he exited the Xiao Mansion, he was unaware that Xu Dabong, who was buying herbal wine for bruises on the street to return to the Infantry Department, happened to see Chen Mo from afar coming out of the Xiao Mansion.

This made Xu Dabong even more convinced that Chen Mo had an extraordinary identity, suspecting he might be an illegitimate child of a lord in the Xiao Mansion, or a husband of a young lady.

The Xiao family has a vast network. Although Xiao Yunqi only has one daughter, his siblings and elders have offspring too.

...

After returning to the palace, Chen Mo went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Like in the simulation, the Shangyi Bureau had indeed completed the silk stockings.

They were all black, a total of seven pairs.

Then he went to Jingru Palace.

Healing Zhao Jiangning was not as important as meeting Wanqiu in private.

But Ye Wanqiu refused to see him, citing physical discomfort.

Chen Mo immediately understood, but still met with her briefly, gave her a few pairs of silk stockings for changing, and returned to Weiyang Palace.

He headed straight to the kitchen.

Glutinous rice flour, brown sugar, sesame, pine nuts... then some lard.

Mix the glutinous rice flour into glutinous rice dough for the skin.

Mix brown sugar, sesame, and crushed pine nuts together for the filling.
