With Cultivation Simulator in a Chaotic World-Chapter 131 - 130: Longevity Pavilion

Jiang Ming let out a breath of turbid air.

His gaze continued to examine the golden script on the Scroll.

In his previous life, Ouyang Yun was schemed against by the Nine Sects; in this life, he is to become the one who schemes against others...

The young dragon slayer ultimately becomes the evil dragon.

But what can one do about it?

In the world, there is no right or wrong, only interests.

Ouyang Yun has seen through the ways of the world after floating in the mundane world for 260 years.

Just like a beast in the Wilderness, if it doesn’t hunt prey to make itself strong, it will ultimately become someone else’s prey.

The Law of the Jungle is the foundation of Jiuzhou World.

Jiang Ming cleared the distractions in his heart, his eyes continuing to reflect the golden radiance.

[The Ouyang Family’s senior members were shocked by your words; they could hardly imagine such impressively powerful speech coming from an eight-year-old child.]

[The old Patriarch immediately decided to use all of the family’s resources on your apprenticeship.]

Ouyang Yun’s expression carried a hint of pride, and he already had a certain air about him.

Master Li’s disciples behind him looked at Ouyang Yun with complex expressions.

And Master Li had already taken out a meeting gift from his storage bag, intending to establish a connection with this genius of the Alchemy Dao, perhaps this junior might soon surpass himself.

Some geniuses are inherently difficult to estimate with ordinary logic.

Ouyang Yun respectfully accepted the pill bottle and Alchemy Notes as a meeting gift, but his lowered face remained calm.

Jie Fangtao, six years younger than him.

He was the disciple of the Grand Elder of Longevity Pavilion in his previous life, a genius of the Alchemy Dao, and was a peerless genius sent to Kunmi Mountain as Longevity Pavilion’s representative.

And he, was merely a scapegoat to block disasters for this genius.

But now things are different, Jie Fangtao is only two years old, and his talent in the Alchemy Dao cannot be detected, moreover, he isn’t a second-generation member of Longevity Pavilion.

Jie Fangtao’s original identity as the Daoist of Longevity Pavilion has been bestowed upon him.

"Thank you, Master Li..." Ouyang Yun raised his head again, a thankful smile appeared on his face, and Master Li also smiled, stroking his beard.

The surrounding senior members were thrilled, even overly excited... just like gamblers ready to bet everything.

Jiang Ming had witnessed this look before.

That was when the Ouyang Family intended to stake everything on Ouyang Yan.

"Ouyang Family... still the Ouyang Family..."

"But, I’m no longer the me I was back then..."

[In Nine Rivers Calendar year 7901, with the full effort of Ouyang Family, they successfully secured a qualification for a test at Longevity Pavilion.]

After all, the Ouyang Family is still a small family.

The Nine Sects and Cyan Cloud Sect are similar in that they prefer to find Cultivation Seedlings themselves and cultivate them from scratch.

While there are some quotas given to other forces and Loose Cultivators, these also require passing a test.

Those who pass the test can enter the Outer Sect, while those who fail are regarded as Servant Disciples. Disciples with poor or even no Cultivation Talent are Servant Disciples, burdened daily with a large amount of menial tasks, making it difficult to achieve anything even with Cultivation Talent. Their only support is a sliver of fleeting hope.

The cultivation path is exceedingly realistic. Without family background, luck, or talent, how can one cultivate? For common folk, cultivation is just a fantasy.

The Ouyang Family exhausted the connections accumulated over several generations and consumed vast family resources to maneuver in every direction to secure this test quota.

The expenditures were even higher than those of Cyan Yuan Sword Sect.

........................................

Ouyang Yun, clad in gray battle attire, executed a horse stance, unifying the strength throughout his body.

"Bang."

A Longevity Pavilion disciple in front of Ouyang Yun was immediately sent flying.

"Good!" The examiner Elder standing before Ouyang Yun’s eyes immediately lit up.

His Divine Sense rapidly recorded in the Record Jade he held.

"Disciple of Ouyang Family from Changfeng Ridge, Ouyang Yun..."

"Body is average, Primordial Qi is above average, Divine Sense is above average, combat skills are above average, a good seedling, but..."

"Cultivation, Third-Layer Qi Refining, Four Spirit Roots Talent? Bone age nine?" The examiner Elder looked at the records from previous examiner Elders, suddenly widening his eyes.

He looked at Ouyang Yun with some surprise.

"Thank you, Senior Brother, for going easy on me."

"Not at all, Junior Brother is truly formidable." The Outer Sect disciple of Longevity Pavilion, who was sent flying by Ouyang Yun, rubbed his back. He did not believe he was no match for this child if they fought seriously, but this was a task given by the sect, and he could only engage in a fist fight with Ouyang Yun to test attributes like physique, Primordial Qi, Divine Sense, and combat talent.

"Hmm? Bone age nine?" This Outer Sect disciple froze upon hearing the Elder’s exclamation.

He blinked at the young boy before him, who clearly looked thirteen or fourteen years old. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

He actually lost in a fist fight against a nine-year-old child? How old was he again?

"It seems like another special physique."

"Child, you have passed the test and may enter the Inner Sect."

"But before you enter the sect, I will take you to have your physique tested."

The examiner Elder was in a good mood.

This meant the sect had gained another promising seedling, and the sect’s power would be strengthened further.

In the Cultivation Realm, the ultimate goal for all cultivators is to attain Dao and longevity, but true longevity is too elusive, and among tens of thousands, not a single Golden Core Master may appear.

Therefore, cultivators place their hope and yearning for longevity in other areas.

Such as the continuity of one’s bloodline, namely family, perhaps another form of longevity. Or for example, the sect, a continuity bound by the legacy of cultivation techniques.

[As you anticipated, you passed the entrance test for Longevity Pavilion and earned the qualification to become an Outer Sect disciple of Longevity Pavilion.]

[You also found a reason for the talent and cultivation level you displayed that didn’t match your Four Spirit Roots Talent.]

[The Pure Yang Body is rare, and even among scholars, few can understand it completely. You attributed all your cultivation talents to the Pure Yang Body.]

[A Foundation Establishment Elder was very pleased with you and wishes to take you as his disciple, but you explained your intentions, and when the Elders saw Master Li’s recommendation letter in your hand and realized it wasn’t a jest, they ultimately gave you a chance.]

The Pure Yang Body merely served as a pretext for excellent early talent, while the exceptional talent was Ouyang Yun’s means to stand out. However, the further down the road he goes, his advantages in Cultivation will gradually fade.

At this point, Ouyang Yun can smoothly use Alchemy Dao talent to cover the deficiency in his Cultivation talent.

"Grand Elder of Longevity Pavilion... Sikong Jingyang..."

"The only Seventh-Grade Alchemist downstream of Qingqiu River, Fake Core Cultivation..."

"Long time no see..."

Above a majestic Heavenly Pool floated a suspended Cave Mansion.

An elderly figure stood there with hands behind his back.
