With Cultivation Simulator in a Chaotic World-Chapter 122 - 121: Listening to Songs at the Brothel Today
"Hmph..."
Pain flickered in Jiang Ming’s eyes, an agony of the soul that ordinary people could not endure.
A wisp of his soul entered the Fire Dragon.
The Fire Dragon’s eyes gradually showed expression. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
"Roar..." The sound was soft but filled with dignity.
Jiang Ming relaxed his grip, his whole body loosened, and he exhaled deeply.
The first dragon, Qian Dragon, was finally complete.
With its eyes full of spirit, the Fire Dragon hovered around Jiang Ming. At Jiang Ming’s thought, the Fire Dragon immediately performed a variety of complex maneuvers.
This feeling... was like having an extra arm.
No, more than that.
Jiang Ming emptied his mind.
The Fire Dragon continued to dance in the air, glancing around as if on guard.
This Fire Dragon even possessed a certain level of combat ability.
It was like having a mechanical arm connected to nerves and equipped with basic artificial intelligence.
As described in the Nine Dragon Fire Technique, if one’s level is high enough, this Fire Dragon can act as a vessel for a clone.
Fighting one cultivator would be like fighting ten.
"Not bad... my hard work paid off."
Without the Cultivation Space buff, it would be almost impossible for anyone to learn this technique in one go.
The moment the soul left, it wasn’t suitable to nurture a second Fire Dragon.
Feeling the strength of the Fire Dragon, a glint flashed in Jiang Ming’s eyes.
"This Fire Dragon... its power seems quite immense..."
With a thought, the scene in the Cultivation Space shifted to the Cyan Cloud Sect’s Outer Sect competition.
A figure in a green robe appeared.
With a casual wave of his hand, Jiang Ming sent the Fire Dragon roaring off, transforming into a crimson bolt of lightning.
"Boom——————"
The explosion of Spiritual Qi sounded.
In the next second, the Fire Dragon flew back to Jiang Ming’s side, while the enemy vanished without a trace.
One after another, enemies were instantly defeated by the Fire Dragon until the quarterfinals, where the Fire Dragon did not instantly overcome the opponent, but they were still powerless.
Jiang Ming easily made it to the finals.
The opponent was Zhu Chen, known for his Water Technique, a cultivator at the Qi Refining Sixth Layer, countering Jiang Ming’s Fire Technique.
The battle began in an instant, with the Fire Dragon roaring forth.
"Boom————"
The same Spiritual Qi explosion, but this time the opponent blocked it.
A water shield appeared in front of the enemy, evaporating rapidly, turning into steam and drifting away.
The mist nearly covered the entire scene.
The Fire Dragon could absorb the surrounding Spiritual Qi to replenish itself, engaging the opponent in a war of attrition.
"If now..."
Jiang Ming grasped his long saber; if he attacked sneakily, his opponent would surely lose, and Jiang Ming wouldn’t need to focus on the Fire Dragon.
However, Jiang Ming willed it again, and the Fire Dragon withdrew, transforming into a tiny fire needle.
The fire needle pierced through the surface, and the opponent couldn’t react, with the water shield penetrated instantly.
In the next second, the fire needle pierced through the True Essence Shield, plunging into the opponent’s forehead.
[Cyan Cloud Sect Outer Sect trial passed, Inner Sect scene unlocked.]
"Interesting..."
Jiang Ming retracted the Fire Dragon, which circled around him once more. With a thought, the Fire Dragon transformed into a fiery long saber and flame longsword.
However, these weapons were not as powerful as the Fire Dragon itself and were only useful in particular situations.
Jiang Ming, in a playful mood, made the Fire Dragon change continuously.
Until Jiang Ming attempted to mold a Gundam out of it, the Fire Dragon resisted.
"With this technique, my combat power can increase significantly, and this is only the Qian Dragon..."
The Fire Dragon shrank continuously, transforming into a tiny red streak of light, and flew onto Jiang Ming’s body.
Below the right collarbone, above his heart, it turned into a small cloud-pattern fire line.
Jiang Ming tidied his clothes, completely covering the cloud pattern before looking around.
The Cyan Cloud Sect’s Inner Sect cultivation area differed from the Outer Sect.
The Spiritual Qi here was much more concentrated.
Jiang Ming walked to one side, where the cultivation resources were also refreshed, equaling half a piece of a Low-grade Spirit Stone fragment.
The annual stipend for Cyan Cloud Sect’s Outer Sect was one Low-grade Spirit Stone; the Inner Sect’s was five.
Normal loose cultivators used Spirit Stone fragments as standard currency; this was truly the Cultivation Realm.
For a moment, Jiang Ming was stunned, not for any particular reason, but just having seen Ouyang Yun spend money lavishly.
An Outer Disciple’s ten-year stipend barely equaled the profit Ouyang Yun made when he refined a batch of pills as a Top Three Grade Alchemist; alchemy was truly profitable.
Of course, the main source of cultivation resources for Cyan Cloud Sect disciples came from task rewards.
Jiang Ming picked up the cultivation resources and resumed training cross-legged.
It wasn’t until he used up the month’s cultivation time that Jiang Ming opened his eyes.
Golden light faded away, returning to reality.
"Cultivation is not easy." Jiang Ming stretched.
He walked out of the room.
"Hongyi! Hongyi!"
After two calls, there was movement in the distance.
"Master Jiang, I’m here!"
A tall maid in red shuffled into the courtyard.
This was a servant sent by the Xun Family named Li Hongyi. Since they had to send a servant for him, Jiang Ming chose an eye-pleasing one.
Hongyi had a pretty face and a tall figure. However, in contrast, this girl had a loud voice and didn’t speak with the soft tones that noble families often require of women, but Jiang Ming didn’t mind. Her loud voice meant a good hearing, able to respond to his calls.
"Master Jiang, where are we going today?"
Li Hongyi blinked her big eyes, eagerly looking at Jiang Ming.
Jiang Ming’s daily routine included hunting ghosts at night to save money and simulate. With enough simulation points, he entered the Cultivation Space to train, as real-life training was too inefficient.
During the day, he meditated for an hour as a substitute for sleep, taking on tasks to exchange for resources, which were used to exchange for Spirit Points.
However, Spirit Points items were few, and exchanging all those resources for Extreme Yang Essence was not cost-effective, far less so than Jiang Ming’s nighttime ghost hunts.
Jiang Ming typically relied on the Xun Family’s channels to acquire some rare items to see if they contained Spirit Points. Plenty of things others disregarded held rich Spirit Points; this method was more efficient.
However, these opportunities weren’t daily, and Jiang Ming found relaxation became the norm.
Exploring all of Mingwu City, tea houses, theaters, martial arts halls, casinos... wherever there was fun, so was Jiang Ming.
But Jiang Ming’s greatest delight was in tasting delicious food, satisfying his appetite being one of his rather significant hobbies.
With low demand for resources, Jiang Ming, an Honored Guest Elder, lived like a carefree young master.
Cultivation isn’t easy, and proper relaxation is necessary. In this developed commercial economy of Great Lii, though entertainment can’t compare to the past life, it’s still quite decent.
"To the Gourmet Pavilion, then today we’ll listen to music at the brothel."
"Okay, Master!" Hongyi beamed with a broad smile.
Master Jiang would share his delicacies with her; the Gourmet Pavilion’s cuisine was sublime.
