Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace

Rustle, rustle!

The fine rain hit the eaves of the pavilion, creating a pitter-patter sound. Early birds perched on the wooden railings of the corridor, looking blankly at the rain curtain, shaking off water from their feathers, occasionally letting out a soft chirp.

Chen Mo called the White Fox over and asked someone to prepare tea and snacks.

As soon as the White Fox arrived, it affectionately rubbed its head against Chen Mo’s leg, then curled up at his feet, watching the woman opposite.

Lin Su Ya stared at the spiritual White Fox before her, her eyes flashing slightly, then slowly squatted down and waved at the fox.

But the White Fox didn’t pay her any attention.

Lin Su Ya wasn’t bothered, she took two steps forward, extending her fair slender arm to stroke the White Fox’s head, though it bared its teeth until soothed by Chen Mo, then allowed Lin Su Ya to pet and examine it.

Subsequently, Lin Su Ya slowly stood up, gazing at the rain curtain outside the pavilion, with her back to Chen Mo, she said: ”Disciple, have you caused trouble?”

Chen Mo, who was rubbing the White Fox’s head, immediately frowned, stood up, and came to Lin Su Ya’s side: ”Master, what do you mean by that?”

Lin Su Ya flicked her Duster, and a mysterious power enveloped them, ensuring their conversation would remain unknown to outsiders, she said:

”It is indeed a Qingqiu Spirit Fox, and moreover, it is a royal fox of the Qingqiu clan.”

Chen Mo had heard Lin Su Ya mention Qingqiu Spirit Foxes before but hadn’t asked in detail. Now, he curiously inquired.

”In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, various races coexist, among which the Demon Race is one of the most powerful. The Qingqiu Spirit Fox clan is one of the most formidable within the Demon Race, and the royal fox is the most noble bloodline among the Qingqiu Spirit Foxes.

If the people of the Qingqiu Spirit Fox knew one of their royal foxes became your pet, do you know what your fate would be?” Lin Su Ya glanced at Chen Mo.

”What?”

”Death.” Lin Su Ya gently uttered the word.

Chen Mo’s expression changed as he looked at the White Fox circling around his feet, wishing he could destroy the evidence; are you not getting me into trouble?

”Then why would he want this royal fox, not fearing the trouble it might bring?” Chen Mo recalled that day the old Daoist was determined to seize back the White Fox, becoming perplexed.

”Danger and opportunity often coexist. The Demon Race can consume the Human Race to strengthen themselves, and to the Human Race, every part of the Demon Race is a treasure.

Absorbing the blood of the Demon Race not only rapidly heals injuries but also greatly benefits cultivation, especially with the Inner Core of a powerful demon, which holds supreme advantages to us. Not to mention, it is a royal fox.” Lin Su Ya knew who Chen Mo alluded to.

”If it’s a royal fox of the Qingqiu clan, how did it end up on the Canglan Continent?” Chen Mo was puzzled.

To this, Lin Su Ya also shook her head.

Chen Mo furrowed his brow into a river shape, still at the lowest tier of immortal cultivation, how could he contend with the powerful Qingqiu Spirit Fox of the Immortal Cultivation Realm? He then said: ”Master, what should I do?”

”There are two ways.” With Chen Mo’s talent, leaving the Canglan Continent was only a matter of time, it was appropriate for Lin Su Ya to tell him now.

”What two ways?”

”One is to join the Daoist Alliance, given the alliance’s stature in the cultivation realm, it can naturally protect you.”

Seeing the confusion on Chen Mo’s face, Lin Su Ya knew what he wanted to ask and continued: ”Because Daoism became too powerful, to the point where it split apart. Each branch of Daoism established its own line of Daoist tradition, such as our Shenxiao Sect, and the Celestial Heart Sect, Qingwei Sect...

The Daoist Alliance is a coalition of all the Daoist branches, forming a new Daoist entity. The original Daoism fell apart because its founders and subsequent first and second generations ascended one after another. While their successors were individually strong, their strengths were not much different from each other, leading to dissension and inability to assert authority, causing each branch to split away and create their own sect.

The reason for forming the Daoist Alliance later was that the original split made the Daoist tradition incomplete. Once established, disciples joining the alliance can learn the Daoist Techniques of all branches...”

Lin Su Ya said a lot continuously, then concluded: ”Specifically, you’ll truly understand when you reach the Immortal Cultivation Realm. With your talent, joining the Daoist Alliance should not be difficult.”

Chen Mo nodded: ”Master, what’s the second method?”

”Form a contract with it, take it as your demon pet, so if the Qingqiu clan wants to kill you, the royal fox would also perish. However, the Qingqiu clan is known for its staunch integrity; they might view this royal fox as a disgrace and insist on killing you both. From my understanding, every contract formed with a royal fox seems to have resulted in the death of the one who formed the contract.” Lin Su Ya stated.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo’s lips twitched: ”Master, aren’t you essentially telling me for nothing?”

Lin Su Ya shook her head: ”Most of the contract examples with the royal fox were forcible; this little one seems to like you sincerely. If you get along well with it, allowing it to willingly form a contract with you, you might become that exception.”

Chen Mo: ”...”

”If you really succeed, this royal fox will also become a great asset to you. The combat power of Qingqiu Spirit Foxes in the Immortal Cultivation Realm is incomparably formidable, and a royal fox is even more terrifying, growing an additional tail with each breakthrough in realm. When it evolves into a Nine-tailed Spirit Fox, there will be few enemies left in the entire Immortal Cultivation Realm.” Lin Su Ya said.

Chen Mo admitted to being excited by what Lin Su Ya said.

He understood it as if the White Fox was a wealthy, beautiful woman.

As long as he got along with it well, making it wholeheartedly follow him, it could stand up to its family and persuade them to approve.

Pff, where was his mind wandering?

It’s just a fox, wholeheartedly...

Still, it’s worth trying.

Moreover, Chen Mo thought that Lin Su Ya’s two methods could be tried simultaneously without conflict.

That way, even if the contract attempt fails in the end, the Daoist Alliance can still protect him.

...

After telling Chen Mo the method of forming a contract, Lin Su Ya left.

However, forming a contract requires him to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Additionally, there are two tiers to forming a contract.

One is forcible contracting, which may cause the demon pet to obey physically but not in spirit.

The other is mutual contracting, where hearts align, shared obedience physically and spiritually.

Also, with the second method of contracting, if the demon pet dies, the owner won’t be affected.

With the first method, the owner would be impacted to some degree.

Chen Mo squatted down, personally feeding a piece of dessert to the White Fox, expressing with the guise of a mischievous uncle deceiving a little girl: ”Little one, how about I give you a name?”
