Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace

Zhengyi Sect.

The headquarters of the Zhengyi Sect is located in the Luotian Domain.

For the disciples of the Zhengyi Sect, once they join, they consider themselves disciples of the Daoist Alliance, naturally feeling superior.

As the disciple representing Zhengyi Sect in the competition this time, Lan Chengting sneered upon hearing the bold words Chen Mo had released: ”A mere Blue Body dares to utter such words about stepping over the disciples of various divisions, truly fearless of losing face.”

”Just right, my brother also likes Zhao Fujin, so I’ll teach his love rival a lesson for him.”

...

Celestial Heart Sect, Dragon Gate Sect, Zhengyi Sect, Jinshan Sect, etc., all these Daoist divisions have declared that if Chen Mo dares to appear in the Daoist Alliance examination, they will beat him fiercely.

Even though Zuoqiu Yiren stepped forward to explain, the effect was minimal.

The situation escalated on the first day, with other division disciples not only lightly confronting Chen Mo but even declaring that the disciples of Shenxiao Sect wouldn’t pass the Daoist Alliance examination.

Some disciples who gloated over Chen Mo yesterday were now frowning, wondering how they got implicated themselves.

Yet they all blamed Chen Mo for everything.

Believing Chen Mo caused all this, they were filled with resentment towards him.

But Chen Mo had no intention of dealing with this.

At the moment, he was receiving the Dragon-Devouring Sparrow Spirit separated and given to him by Qiao Yushi.

After he gave her the Soul Essence Grass, Qiao Yushi offered it willingly.

Chen Mo did not refuse and accepted it readily.

However, the process of refining the Dragon-Devouring Sparrow was excruciating.

It’s known that as the Dragon-Devouring Sparrow Spirit, it still retained a trace of the original Sparrow’s violent consciousness, now clashing within his sea of consciousness, showing agony and struggle on Chen Mo’s face.

Chen Mo hurriedly activated the Soul-Stabilizing Bead to aid in refining it, alleviating much of his pain.

Then, he operated the Thunder Jade Scripture, accelerating the refining of the Dragon-Devouring Sparrow, aiming to subdue the Sparrow with absolute suppression.

Soon, another day passed.

Chen Mo was still refining the Dragon-Devouring Sparrow.

However, he communicated with Xiao Jiu through the Spirit Seal, asking her to attend the auction and bid for the Soul Essence Grass on his behalf.

Since those people were targeting him at the auction, he decided to send someone else to bid.

Chen Mo multitasked, refining the Sparrow while simulating.

He hoped the rewards from the simulation could shorten the refining time of the Dragon-Devouring Sparrow.

...

Chen Mo’s idea was good, but reality was harsh.

Xiao Jiu, being Chen Mo’s person, was eventually discovered by the disciples of various divisions.

To prevent Xiao Jiu from acquiring the Soul Essence Grass, the division disciples vigorously competed at the auction.

Xiao Jiu didn’t have many Spirit Stones, so naturally, she missed out on the Soul Essence Grass.

Feeling guilty for failing her master’s task and enraged by the division disciples’ mockery of Chen Mo, Xiao Jiu furiously punched each mocking disciple.

Bullying her was one thing, but bullying her master was unacceptable.

Thus, the conflict erupted.

The mocking division disciples were no match for Xiao Jiu, even when they teamed up.

In contrast, Xiao Jiu single-handedly knocked them all down.

”Hmph.” Xiao Jiu snorted coldly, sarcastically retorting, ”You can’t defeat me even when joined together and still dare to challenge my master? How naive.”

This infuriated the division disciples, even alerting the elders.

Because Xiao Jiu struck first, an elder from the Zhengyi Sect wanted to capture her and demand an explanation from the Shenxiao Hall.

”Elder Feng, is it becoming for a thousand-year-old senior like you to intervene in the disputes of juniors and not fear being ridiculed by other divisions?”

Zuoqiu Yiren appeared in the auction hall, surrounded by an aura as sharp as a sword about to be drawn, looking sternly at Feng Yinglai of the Zhengyi Sect.

”Zuoqiu Yiren.” Feng Yinglai snorted coldly, ”She first injured my sect’s disciples without cause. What’s wrong with me capturing her?”

”If your sect’s people hadn’t first provoked and mocked, why would a well-behaved child like Xiao Jiu act?” Zuoqiu Yiren replied.

”Verbal provocation started with your Shenxiao Sect’s Chen Mo, saying our division’s disciples are useless.” A disciple from the Zhengyi Sect stepped forward to say.

”Where did you hear this? Did Chen Mo personally tell you? When you were mocking, I heard it with my own ears.”

”This... someone else told me, it’s rumored outside.”

”Do you believe others without question? If someone tells you to die, why don’t you? How can you be so sure Chen Mo said it based on a rumor?”

Zuoqiu Yiren directly silenced the Zhengyi Sect disciple.

Feng Yinglai, feeling somewhat embarrassed, said, ”But she did injure my sect’s disciples; speaking is one thing, but hitting someone is wrong.”

”Knowing it’s wrong, yet you, as a senior, still act against a junior? Isn’t that shameful?”

”You...” Feng Yinglai’s beard almost went awry in anger. Was this the Zuoqiu Yiren he knew? How could she be so eloquent?

”Master, let me handle this.” At this moment, someone behind Feng Yinglai stepped forward and bowed to Zuoqiu Yiren: ”Fairy Zuoqiu.”

”Who are you?” Zuoqiu Yiren asked, taking a swig from the Big Gourd.

”Zhengyi Sect, Lan Chengting.” Lan Chengting said with a mild smile.

”What’s the matter?”

”Since Fairy Zuoqiu believes this is a juniors’ quarrel, I think it should be resolved by juniors. I am also a participant in this Daoist Alliance examination. Let me fight this Xiao Jiu. If I win, she should apologize to those she injured. How about that?” Lan Chengting looked at Zuoqiu Yiren.

Zuoqiu Yiren glanced at Xiao Jiu, seeing her eagerness, lightly smiled, and said, ”What if you lose?”

Hearing this, before Lan Chengting could respond, the Zhengyi Sect disciples laughed.

”How could Brother Lan possibly lose.”

”Indeed, unless the sun rises in the west.”

...

”Then this matter is written off,” Lan Chengting also laughed.

”You wish.” Zuoqiu Yiren rolled her eyes at him and said, ”How about this, if you lose, this matter is written off, and you give the Soul Essence Grass your sect won at the auction to Xiao Jiu. If Xiao Jiu loses, she will apologize, and I will privately give your sect an Upper Grade Treasure Medicine. How about that?”

”Dare to accept?” Xiao Jiu placed her hands on her hips, looking at Lan Chengting.

Lan Chengting glanced at Feng Yinglai, then said, ”As Fairy Zuoqiu suggested, I agree.”

”Don’t agree so quickly; you’re not the one in charge.” Zuoqiu Yiren looked at Feng Yinglai, obviously wanting his approval.

Feng Yinglai, confident in his disciple, nodded confidently: ”Why not, let’s do it.”

”Great, splendid.”
