With Cultivation Simulator in a Chaotic World-Chapter 112 - 111: Proposing Marriage
Some cultivators, after losing hope in the Immortal Dao, become passionate about establishing families.
Because the continuation of their bloodline signifies the continuation of their life, as if they could feel a hint of immortality from the continuation of their family.
And the more promising a cultivator is on the path of the Immortal Dao, the less likely they are to easily have offspring.
[Cloud Cauldron Pavilion, with your Foundation Establishment, has opened branches in two other marketplaces, expanding its influence.]
[But you know that this is almost the limit, and the nine major sects will not allow the emergence of a tenth major sect.]
[You break through Foundation Establishment, take the name Danxin, and outsiders call you Master Danxin.]
The title "True Master" is exclusively for Golden Cores, but some Foundation Establishment cultivators with notable strength and special status are also referred to with this title in the Cultivation Realm as a sign of respect.
The Golden Core Masters of the nine major sects would not address these minor matters; the title "True Master" does not signify much.
[One night, Master Yunding spoke with you through the night, then went into seclusion.]
[You took over some affairs of the Cloud Cauldron Pavilion, continuing to delve into alchemy.]
[In the year 7965 of the Nine Rivers Calendar, you successfully refined the Yellow Dragon Skin Painting Pill, which can improve appearance and has been greatly sought after by numerous female cultivators, increasing your fame significantly.]
............
[In the year 7968 of the Nine Rivers Calendar, you successfully refined the Foundation Establishment Pill. Your status at the lower reaches of the Qingqiu River rose once again.]
[In the same year, you heard about an auction in the middle reaches of the Qingqiu River that had medicinal herbs and pills you needed, and you, along with several Foundation Establishment cultivators, went to the middle reaches of the Qingqiu River.]
The middle reaches of the Qingqiu River is a region half a tier stronger than the lower reaches.
Of course, there are still no Nascent Soul cultivators here, but there are more Golden Core influences than in the lower reaches, and the cultivation civilization is slightly more developed.
All of this is because of the Qingqiu River.
The Nine River Realm is named after the Nine Rivers, naturally due to their exceptional qualities.
No living creatures exist within the Nine Rivers, and no ships can approach them.
The Nine Rivers, like nine exposed spirit veins, continuously transmit spiritual qi to the riverbanks.
The abundance of spiritual qi nurtured numerous cultivators.
This implies that the closer you are to the source of the Nine Rivers, the more concentrated the spiritual qi.
The source of the Nine Rivers is singular.
That is the legendary Kunmi Mountain.
At Kunmi Mountain, there are powerful sects capable of consistently producing Nascent Soul cultivators.
Nascent Soul cultivators, also known as Land Immortals, are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
However, these matters are far removed from Ouyang Yun; Kunmi Mountain is too enigmatic for ordinary cultivators to enter.
Even the upper reaches of the Qingqiu River do not have Nascent Soul cultivators, so naturally, there is no reason for Ouyang Yun to relocate or be overly concerned with matters elsewhere.
Nonetheless, some treasures not found downstream can indeed be found in the middle and upper reaches.
"Thirty thousand middle-grade spirit stones, accompanied by five Fire Attribute Fourth Grade Spirit Pills of your need."
"Alright, it’s a deal!"
This is a small exchange auction.
Some rare treasures can no longer be found on the market.
"This Fifth Grade Rejuvenation Pill is yours now."
Ouyang Yun calmly accepted the item.
"As a token of your straightforward transaction, I’ll give you a piece of information."
The one trading with Ouyang Yun was a bald burly man, quite pleased at the moment. He patted himself, seemingly unable to find anything extra to offer Ouyang Yun, his old face blushing as he simply spoke.
"Information?"
Just now, someone at the exchange auction indeed collected information, and this person exchanged information with him.
It seemed to be... about the Qingqiu River? Ouyang Yun was curious, but he did not plan to take risks for any opportunities in the Qingqiu River.
"We all live by the Qingqiu River; these matters might concern you."
"The Kunmi Mountain Secret Realm trial seems about to commence..."
"Kunmi Mountain..."
Ouyang Yun frowned.
Kunmi Mountain is a very special existence to the cultivators of the Nine River Realm.
"Surely you also know, Kunmi Mountain is akin to a super-large secret realm, and the forces within Kunmi Mountain rarely recruit outsiders as disciples, except during the irregular Kunmi Mountain Secret Realm trials."
"Legend has it that only absolute elites qualify to enter Kunmi Mountain and obtain the legendary Nascent Soul inheritance, which is a heavenly opportunity."
"But these matters are irrelevant to us, with our mediocre cultivation level..."
"Uh, that’s all. Good brother, you are an alchemist, right? Then, I’ll commission you to refine some pills for me."
Ouyang Yun chatted with the burly man a bit more, who was a loose cultivator well-versed in information. Ouyang Yun refined several furnaces of pills for him, exchanged a communication spiritual artifact, and then left the middle reaches of the Qingqiu River.
Ouyang Yun shared this with his Foundation Establishment companions.
They were somewhat surprised but did not have much emotional fluctuation.
Kunmi Mountain was too distant for them.
It was akin to how the Tsinghua-Peking Elite was to ordinary people in Ouyang Yun’s previous life.
[You unexpectedly gained a piece of information, but it seems not of much use.]
[After acquiring the resources you needed in the middle reaches of the Qingqiu River, you returned to the lower reaches.]
............
[In the year 7970 of the Nine Rivers Calendar, you presented a betrothal gift to the Celestial Dust Sect, offering one Sixth-Grade Meridian Rejuvenation Pill, one Fifth-Grade Rejuvenation Pill, one Third-Grade Nine Jiao Red Blood Pill, one Fourth-Grade Yellow Dragon Skin Painting Pill, three Sixth-Grade Evergreen Pills, one Sixth-Grade Realm-Breaking Pill, ten Fourth-Grade Foundation Establishment Pills, and a thousand upper-grade spirit stones as a betrothal gift to wed Sha Miaomiao as your Dao Companion.]
[The cultivators in the lower reaches of the Qingqiu River were all astonished.]
[A middle-grade alchemist actually offered such a substantial gift to wed a mortal woman, eliciting varied reactions among many cultivators.]
Sha Miaomiao’s meridians were severed, her Dantian shattered, and even her original body was disabled, making cultivation impossible, reduced to a mortal, her appearance even ruined, falling from the heavens to become earthly dust.
However, because her father was the Third Elder of the Celestial Dust Sect, Sha Miaomiao remained a coveted match, with many cultivators willing to connect with her.
But Alchemist Ouyang, a person of promising future, was certainly not included in these; as long as Ouyang Yun wished, even the nine major sects would be willing to betroth outstanding female disciples to him.
Soon, the past between Ouyang Yun and Sha Miaomiao was unearthed. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
A wonderful story emerged, stirring the hearts of many young women, and some even adapted the story into a narrative, hoping it would be passed down through generations.
[You entered the Celestial Dust Sect and went straight to the Inner Sect. Guided by the Third Elder, you arrived at Sha Miaomiao’s room, where you personally refined various pills and used True Essence as a guide to heal Sha Miaomiao.]
[Meridians repaired, Dantian restored, and appearance recovered, you guided Sha Miaomiao to resume cultivation.]
[You were somewhat surprised; Sha Miaomiao seemed to have another opportunity, reborn through destruction, her cultivation restoring rapidly.]
Sha Miaomiao’s room was large, with calming incense wafting through the space, and the furniture was all of uncommon quality.
Sha Miaomiao wore a yellow dress, her figure graceful, and surprisingly, strands of True Essence began emanating from her.^She touched her fair, smooth cheek, feeling somewhat dazed.
In her Dantian and meridians flowed the long-lost True Essence. Just two hours ago, she was an old, dilapidated mortal woman.
Now things had changed, like a dream.
Sha Miaomiao lost her previous arrogance, but hope was rekindled in her eyes.
She sat on the bed, seemingly remembering something, a bit of disappointment crossing her face.
"Is this your intention or Master Yunding’s... or perhaps... the intention of the Longevity Pavilion..."
