Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace

”Receive.”

Chi Xuzi flicked his finger, and a ray of glow shot out from the green gourd, enveloping the falling blue-striped shark’s corpse. In an instant, the blue-striped shark’s body was collected into the green gourd.

The green gourd returned to Chi Xuzi’s hand.

”For the rest of the journey, we can eat something good.” Chi Xuzi landed on the deck, smiling at the group.

Afterward, Chi Xuzi maneuvered the spiritual boat to fly high into the sky. A big battle had just erupted, which might attract the blue-striped shark’s group, so they needed to be wary.

Once the spiritual boat ascended to ten thousand feet, Chi Xuzi took out a large cauldron from the Qiankun Bracelet, poured in clear water, cut a large piece of blue-striped shark meat, and tossed it into the cauldron, adding salt and other seasonings. His process was incredibly skillful, clearly not his first time.

Chen Mo and the others were slightly stunned, not expecting such a side from someone who seemed so composed.

Chi Xuzi calmly said, ”Even in immortal cultivation, one must satisfy the desires of the palate. This demon beast is in the late Golden Core stage, and its flesh and blood are a supreme treasure medicine for you. You are in for a treat.”

Chen Mo politely replied, ”This belongs to the senior, how could we dare to be greedy.”

”This demon beast is enormous, what’s in this cauldron is less than a thousandth of it, it’s nothing. This much I can surely afford.” Chi Xuzi laughed.

Just as modeled, after it was cooked, Chen Mo and the others tasted the demon beast’s meat.

After eating, Chen Mo felt his whole body surged with vigor.

Moreover, he noticed that the essence of the demon beast’s blood and meat was beneficial for the Red Dragon Demon Arm, helping him open the Profound Gate.

The Red Dragon Demon Arm has seven Profound Gates, and he has now opened three.

The fourth gate once felt unreachable, but now he saw hope.

...

The spiritual boat shuttled through the clouds, and unknowingly, twenty days had passed, with no small incidents during the calm journey.

According to Chi Xuzi, there were less than three days to reach Primordial Heaven.

Chi Xuzi was quite kind, and Chen Mo had initially wanted to shamelessly ask him to take his party to the Shenxiao Sect. But upon learning that Primordial Heaven consisted of Eleven Domains and the Daoist Alliance and Shenxiao Sect weren’t in the same domain, being in two different directions,

once he understood this, Chen Mo felt embarrassed to ask.

After all, he owed him nothing.

...

Three days later, the spiritual boat’s speed gradually slowed and descended, revealing a magnificent city to all.

”This city is called Celestial Mountain City, within the Celestial Heart Sect domain. Fighting is strictly prohibited inside the city, and there’s a teleportation array within, allowing you to reach your destination through the array.”

Seemingly noticing Chen Mo and his group’s dilemma, Chi Xuzi waved his hand, and a heap of grey stones hovered in front of each person. The stones glowed faintly, emanating extremely dense True Qi.

”Ten pieces of low-grade spirit stones per person, and I wish you good luck. Hope we meet again in the Daoist Alliance someday.”

After dropping off Chen Mo and his group, Chi Xuzi smiled and then controlled the spiritual boat to leave.

”Farewell, senior.” Chen Mo looked at the receding spiritual boat, feeling grateful.

”Old Han, wait...”

Zhao Qianyi’s words were cut short as Han Xian collected his share of spirit stones and headed into the city.

”What’s the matter?” Chen Mo asked.

”Really strange, I was originally thinking of inviting him to travel together.” Zhao Qianyi said, since they came from the same place, partnering up was normal.

”Since the person is unwilling, let’s not force it.” Jiang Ruoqing said.

”Let’s get going too.” Zhao Qianyi put the spirit stones into her bag.

”Wait a moment.” Chen Mo stopped the women.

”What’s wrong?” The three women looked at him in confusion.

”Disguise ourselves, to avoid unnecessary trouble.”

Being new in town and unfamiliar with life here, the three women were very attractive, and Chen Mo worried about attracting unnecessary complications. At present, he was unable to protect them, and could only try to avoid issues.

...

The three women changed their appearances to something ordinary, and even Chen Mo purposely disguised himself to look ugly, before heading towards Celestial Mountain City.

Celestial Mountain City lies in the Canglong Province of the Cyan Abyss Domain.

This province is under the Celestial Heart Sect’s jurisdiction. As a former branch of Daoism, the Celestial Heart Sect is impressive, its Sect Leader being a significant force in the integration realm and a first-rate power.

With such a background, almost all cities under the Celestial Heart Sect have teleportation arrays, and they have the capability to build long-distance teleportation arrays.

”What, fifty pieces of low-grade spirit stones?!”

In the city center square, there is a stone platform, and on it, a massive rune array flashes with glow, emanating an astonishing spatial fluctuation. The area is surrounded by disciples of the Celestial Heart Sect. Upon arriving and learning that each person requires fifty low-grade spirit stones for teleportation, Chen Mo and his group were utterly dumbfounded.

It turns out, city-to-city teleportation costs five low-grade spirit stones, from province-to-province ten, and domain-to-domain costs fifty.

This is the Cyan Abyss Domain, and the Shenxiao Sect is located in the Beiming Domain, a great distance apart. Taking a spiritual boat would take over two months.

Each of them only had ten pieces, nowhere near enough to pay.

”What now?” The women all looked at Chen Mo.

In their hearts, Chen Mo was their anchor.

And as their man, Chen Mo was aware of this responsibility.

”Let me think.” Chen Mo’s gaze swept around, observing the bustling crowd, their ordinary appearances didn’t draw any attention.

After scanning for a while, Chen Mo’s gaze fixed on an auction house.

Thanks to Chi Xuzi’s pamphlet, Chen Mo was now able to read the language of Primordial Heaven.

”A pawnshop.” Zhao Qianyi, clever as ice and snow, realized Chen Mo’s intentions, saying, ”But we don’t have anything valuable to sell.”

”Let’s go have a look.”

His system still had a piece of blue-striped shark meat, which is the meat of a late Golden Core demon beast and should fetch some value. It’s unknown if the pawnshop will accept it.

...

”What do you wish to pawn or buy?”

As their man, Chen Mo was aware of this responsibility.
