Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace

”Additionally, the Sect Leader believes that since you have not yet joined the Daoist Alliance and have a king fox from the Qingqiu fox clan by your side, revealing your Immortal Body too early would attract investigation from those with ulterior motives. If word leaks then, it would be troublesome.”

Zuoqiu Yiren looked at Chen Mo with her beautiful eyes, and said, ”So, her suggestion is to reveal it after you join the Daoist Alliance. Doing so during their exams would not only earn you their protection but also instantly make you famous.”

Chen Mo opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but ultimately didn’t. He hadn’t expected his mentor to have arranged everything so thoroughly.

”When will Master come out of seclusion?” Chen Mo asked.

”It’s hard to say; it could be as short as two to three years or as long as decades, even a hundred years is possible.” Zuoqiu Yiren licked the oil on her lips and said, ”For strong cultivators at the Unity Realm, decades or a hundred years are just a nap.”

”If she doesn’t come out of seclusion, how can I lift the methods she placed on me? When will the next Daoist Alliance admissions begin?” Chen Mo inquired.

”Rest assured, the Sect Leader has taught me everything. When the time comes, I’ll help you lift the seal on your body. As for the Daoist Alliance admissions, it’s held every five years. It’s been over a year since the last one, so there are about four years left. During this time, I’ll help you reach the Golden Core Realm. However, with your talent, I believe you can achieve it this year.”

Zuoqiu Yiren said confidently.

”How should I address you then? Elder Zuoqiu?” Chen Mo tentatively asked.

”Elder Zuoqiu sounds too old, just call me Sister Zuoqiu.” Zuoqiu Yiren picked up a piece of fish and smiled.

”This... I’m afraid it’s inappropriate. Senior Brother Wang Chen calls you Aunt, and I...”

”Ignore him.” Before Chen Mo could finish, Zuoqiu Yiren interrupted him, saying, ”You’re not his friend, you have no interaction with him. What difference does it make if he’s your senior brother? Calling me Sister doesn’t conflict.”

Chen Mo: ”...”

According to what Wang Chen told him, Zuoqiu Yiren was almost eight hundred years old, and yet she was pretending to be young.

After a moment of silent critique, Chen Mo stood up, bowed respectfully, and said, ”Sister Zuoqiu.”

”Zuoqiu is my surname; you should call me Sister Yiren.” Zuoqiu Yiren said.

”Yi... Sister Yiren.”

”Mm, good. I’ve always wanted a younger brother, and today my wish has been fulfilled.” Zuoqiu Yiren looked at Chen Mo excitedly.

”Sister Yiren, I heard from Senior Brother Wang Chen that you can help me see Senior Sister sooner, then...”

”I’ve already sent people to notify her. If they act quickly, you should be able to see her this month, but you are her junior brother, so you can’t reveal it yet.”

”Alright.”

”...”

”According to the rules, you can only advance from an Outer Sect Disciple to an Inner Sect Disciple if your Immortal Body hasn’t reached the Golden Core Realm, but your Immortal Body can’t be revealed yet. So you are still just an Outer Sect Disciple, but holding my Merak Peak Token allows you to freely enter the Inner Sect.”

Zuoqiu Yiren lifted her hand, and a bell on her ankle suddenly shot out a stream of light. A green jade token appeared in Zuoqiu Yiren’s hand, which she handed to Chen Mo and then said, ”The jade token contains an Earth Tier intermediate sword technique divine technique, which is powerful and can assist with flight. Once mastered, you can fly a thousand miles in half an hour with your strength.”

”Half an hour, a thousand miles?!” Chen Mo took it eagerly as if handling a treasure.

”Just infuse your True Qi into it, and this Merak Flying Sword is my meeting gift to you.” Zuoqiu Yiren said with a smile, ”Starting tomorrow, come to my Merak Peak daily; I’ll teach you cultivation.”

After finishing, the bell on Zuoqiu Yiren’s ankle rang, and the next moment, her figure gradually disappeared before Chen Mo’s eyes.

”Is this the means of a strong cultivator, coming and going without a trace.”

Chen Mo held the jade token, looking at the place where Zuoqiu Yiren disappeared, and murmured.

”Oh right, I almost forgot to ask whether Qianyi, Ruoqing can cultivate as well.”

Earth Tier sword technique divine techniques, such high-level divine techniques, are very rare, and naturally, Chen Mo wanted to share them with the women around him.

”Forget it, I’ll ask her tomorrow...”

After infusing True Qi into the jade token, Chen Mo felt as if his sea of consciousness established a connection with the jade token.

”Earth Tier intermediate divine technique, Merak Flying Sword, author, Zuoqiu Yiren.” Although the information within the jade token was absorbed into Chen Mo’s mind instantly, he was stunned and murmured, ”This divine technique was actually created by her.”

”It’s just a divine technique I created offhand, why so surprised? I forgot to tell you, this jade token is also a basic-level magical artifact, capable of transmission.” Zuoqiu Yiren’s voice, like a clear spring in a valley, flowed out from the jade token.

”Created offhand...” Chen Mo’s mouth twitched a bit; this was too boastful. To create an Earth Tier intermediate divine technique offhandedly, if she were serious, wouldn’t it reach the Celestial Tier?

He quickly asked, ”Sister Yiren, can I teach this Merak Flying Sword to others?”

Zuoqiu Yiren was silent for a moment, then her voice came from the jade token: ”No, even though I created it offhandedly, you’re currently the only one I’ve passed it to.”

”Understood, Sister Yiren,” Chen Mo replied.

...

Upon returning to the Suoxian Courtyard, Chen Mo first reported his safety to Nangong Yue, then went to find Ruoqing and the others.

Unexpectedly, the three girls were in the same room.

”Master, you’re here.” Xiao Jiu happily rushed over; she could communicate with Chen Mo via sea of consciousness transmission, keeping in touch at all times, so she wasn’t worried about Chen Mo’s safety at all.

Xiao Jiu’s rush was quite literally ’to greet someone with enthusiasm.’

To be honest, being hugged by her felt quite comfortable.

However, their relationship was innocent, and if they hugged any longer, it would really change the nature of things, so Chen Mo pushed Xiao Jiu away and continued to hold onto Ruoqing and Qianyi, who weren’t as forward as Xiao Jiu.

Xiao Jiu was so angry she puffed her cheeks like a bun.

She was thinking when would her master accept her, allowing her to become his woman.

Chen Mo sat down by the bed, holding one girl in each arm, letting them sit on his lap, and explained to them what Zuoqiu Yiren had told him.

As for Xiao Jiu, she already knew.

Since he agreed with Zuoqiu Yiren, he did not teach the Merak Flying Sword to the two girls.

Upon learning that the State Preceptor was actually the Vice Sect Leader Xuan Yuan of the Shenxiao Sect, the two girls were very surprised, but more so, they were happy because if the State Preceptor had sent Zuoqiu Yiren to teach their husband, it meant she still valued the master-disciple relationship, so with such a backing, they needn’t fear Long Xiaoyao.

”Sister Yiren said that Senior Sister might come back this month. Qianyi, have you thought about how you will meet her then?”

According to seniority, Zhao Fujin should call Zhao Qianyi aunt, but now Zhao Qianyi had become Chen Mo’s woman, which made things quite confusing.

”Speak the truth.” Zhao Qianyi was not a soft and weak woman, choosing to keep her relationship with Chen Mo hidden. Before coming to Primordial Heaven, she was prepared to meet Fujin.
