With Cultivation Simulator in a Chaotic World-Chapter 133 - 132: Reunion with Sha Miaomiao

Ouyang Yun sat cross-legged in the Cave Mansion, as the surrounding Spirit Gathering Array continuously gathered the already rich Spiritual Qi onto Ouyang Yun’s body.

Every pore on Ouyang Yun’s body was absorbing and exhaling Spiritual Qi, transforming it into his own True Essence.

A faint fiery light emerged between Ouyang Yun’s nose and mouth.

Ouyang Yun slowly opened his eyes, and deep within them, it seemed as if a flame-red lotus was blooming.

Underneath Ouyang Yun’s collarbone, there was a faint light flickering.

That was the Qian Dragon and Kan Dragon of the Nine Dragon Fire Technique.

"The year 7911 of the Nine Rivers Calendar... In my past life, at this time, I had just broken through to the Qi Refining Fourth Layer and switched to practicing the Ninth-grade Pill Control Technique..."

Ouyang Yun released his hand, and the middle-grade Spirit Stone, after being depleted of Spiritual Qi, turned into dust and gradually dissipated into the air.

Ouyang Yun’s brow slightly furrowed.

"Why can’t I replace Jie Fangtao... the one destined by heaven?"

"What is it that’s so special about him..."

Ouyang Yun felt somewhat puzzled.

"In my past life... I was ultimately nothing more than a discarded pawn, knowing too little."

Yet, in the end, he had managed to break free from the chessboard.

Sikong Jingyang specifically instructed him to act low-key in all matters, and Ouyang Yun’s presence within the Longevity Pavilion was becoming increasingly subdued.

People only knew that the president of the Alchemist Association had two genius disciples, but were unaware of their specific deeds.

Among them, this eldest disciple was especially mysterious, rarely engaging in sect activities due to secluded cultivation all year round.

"Sikong Jingyang seems to regard me as the true successor, and what I gain in the Longevity Pavilion is no less than what I would in the Cloud Cauldron Pavilion."

To be on the safe side, Ouyang Yun always used the Forget Dust Spell to temporarily seal his memories when facing Sikong Jingyang, to prevent this old fox from discovering any flaws.

The Forget Dust Spell was an ancient cultivation method that Ouyang Yun fortuitously obtained in his past life, quite unique.

Unexpectedly, it proved to be greatly useful in situations like these.

"Fang Tao, here to greet Senior Brother."

A voice came from outside the Cave Mansion.

"Come in."

A young man entered, full of vigor yet appearing calm and steady.

"Senior Brother, there are some parts I don’t quite understand."

Ouyang Yun’s face had long adopted a gentle smile.

"Here, the True Essence needs to be converted to a third of the water attribute to enhance..."

[The year 7914 of the Nine Rivers Calendar, Jie Fangtao successfully broke through to become a Second-Grade Alchemist, showing outstanding talent. Seeing this, you straightforwardly concocted a Third-grade Pill, slightly improving your Alchemy cultivation.]

[The year 7916 of the Nine Rivers Calendar, you had a flash of inspiration and realized a breakthrough, successfully breaking the bottleneck and stepping into the Qi Refining Seventh Layer, entering the late-stage Qi Refining.]

In this life, Ouyang Yun broke through to the late-stage Qi Refining at the age of twenty-three, a terrifying feat.

He began practicing the foundational Breathing Technique at the age of three, entering the Qi Refining Realm; altogether, Ouyang Yun had only cultivated for twenty years.

Even in his past life, Ouyang Yan reached only the Qi Refining Eighth Layer after twenty-two years of cultivation.

And he had the Dual Spirit Root talent.

Ouyang Yun’s gray robe fluttered, as his compressed and released True Essence creating a storm pressure around him.

After a long while, Ouyang Yun’s aura gradually stabilized.

He opened his eyes again, his gaze serene.

This time he employed some cunning; if not for his sudden insight, he might have needed another two to three years to reach the late-stage Qi Refining.

"I am ultimately not of top-tier aptitude..."

With the Celestial Demon Heart Devouring Technique, a second cultivation, and the Pure Yang Body combined, Ouyang Yun still couldn’t surpass the past Ouyang Yan.

Yet, it was enough.

In others’ eyes, Ouyang Yun excelled in both Alchemy and cultivation alike.

"Sixteen years have passed..." A trace of recollection flashed in Ouyang Yun’s eyes.

In this year of his past life, he met Sha Miaomiao.

Ouyang Yun furrowed his brows.

If according to the Nine Sects’ plan, everything unfolds as it did in his past life... then Miaomiao...

"Having been dormant for so long, it’s time to make a move..."

Ouyang Yun donned a dark black cloak and walked out of the Cave Mansion, gently turning his hand to put on a bamboo hat that shielded him from the scorching sunlight, also concealing his distinguished and handsome face.

He headed towards the sect’s exterior, his aura restrained, without any outstanding feature.

Only the Profound Jade representing a direct disciple of the Longevity Pavilion hung lightly on his waist, causing the disciples he encountered to pause and then respectfully greet him.

After Ouyang Yun had walked far away, they started whispering among themselves.

"Who is this person..."

"A direct disciple... all these senior brothers and sisters are very low-key, and we’re not from the same world as them, so it’s best not to pry..."

.........

"Hmm, Daoist Cao, these pills are quite good."

Sha Miaomiao was still in her yellow short outfit, her figure graceful and full of youthful vitality, her healthy skin slightly dazzling.

And along the edge of her cheeks were some enchanting runes engraved.

Standing before Sha Miaomiao was Cao Hongkun.

Cao Hongkun was in white attire, his handsome face accentuated by a pair of phoenix eyes adding a touch of charm.

Cao Hongkun looked at Sha Miaomiao, a trace of passion deep in his eyes.

"As long as Miaomiao finds no issues, these pills are best suited for cultivators practicing Earth Attribute Techniques..."

Beside Cao Hongkun stood a red-haired youth, who said with a smile, "Miaomiao, Brother Cao spent a lot of time researching these pills for you."

"Brother Cao even went to Five Elements Mountain to experience the Earth Vein Qi, otherwise how could he have created such a Second-grade Pill."

"Oh?"

A trace of surprise colored Sha Miaomiao’s gaze as she looked at Cao Hongkun.

"Then, Miaomiao thanks Senior Brother Cao."

"No need."

With a smile, Cao Hongkun handed over a sample of the pills, while his other hand tried to grasp Sha Miaomiao’s in an ambiguous gesture as he handed the pill to her.

"Bang."

The pill got knocked flying.

A gray-clothed, hat-wearing person appeared before them.

"Who is there?!"

Cao Hongkun’s expression changed slightly, but he maintained his composure.

Because he could sense the thick aura from the opponent, it was the aura of late-stage Qi Refining.

Chu Kuang’s eyes caught the Profound Jade hanging at the waist of the hatted person, slightly altering his expression.

His Divine Sense transmitted the sound to Cao Hongkun’s ear.

Cao Hongkun’s expression also became somewhat peculiar.

"Longevity Pavilion, Ouyang Yun, here to pay respects to Master Yunding."

"Oh oh, it turns out to be Senior Brother Ouyang, this way, please."

The displeasure on Cao Hongkun’s face had disappeared, and he clearly knew some things about True Master Yunding and the Longevity Pavilion’s relationship.

Sha Miaomiao, however, was somewhat entranced looking at Ouyang Yun’s back.

This figure seemed somewhat familiar.

"Celestial Dust Sect, Sha Miaomiao, greets Senior Brother."

"Hmm, Junior Sister Sha, I noticed that some of your sect’s junior brothers and sisters seem to be looking for you..."

"Oh no! Senior Sister Sha! Junior Brother Li has been captured by a Tribulation Cultivator!" came the voice of a Celestial Dust Sect disciple from outside.
