Infiltrating Area 7
Over District 9
Chi Zhao poked a large cat head out of his storage bag and tugged at the girl's sleeve with his small claws. "You left again for no apparent reason. Didn't you say goodbye?"
Qianluo sighed. She didn't want to face too many farewells, so she chose to leave quietly. There must be a lot of sadness before parting: "Mountains and rivers will always meet again. See you again in the future."
She held the big cat's head, tied up the spirit beast bag, and galloped all the way. The spring sunshine was warm and gentle, and it felt warm on her body, and her mood also improved.
The simulation system said that Jiang Liang also had an escape passage between the barriers of Area 7 and Area 8. As long as she found this entrance, she wouldn't need the Little Black Cauldron. After taking down Area 7, she could let Xiaoqing and the others come over to merge.
only……
Her current cultivation level didn't seem to be enough to fight against Chen Ziqiu, who had reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. She should first find Sun Rushuang's whereabouts and then look for an opportunity. The address where Sun Rushuang was imprisoned had changed, and she didn't know if her Breath-Resisting Pill and Concealment Formation would be of any use.
Qianluo dug into her storage bag. What she needed most now was a hidden magic weapon! Unfortunately, there were only 1,000 spirit stones left in her storage bag, and she only had three chances left in the Immortal Cultivation Simulator.
Do you want to obtain relevant magic weapons through simulation?
No, no, it’s impossible. From her previous simulations, it was clear that she couldn’t obtain the magic weapon. And how could something like a Jindan magic weapon appear in the lower three areas? It should at least appear in the middle three areas.
After thinking about it carefully, she felt that something was wrong, because the previous simulations were all based on her rescuing Sun Rushuang and entering Area 7.
What would have happened if she hadn't rescued Sun Rushuang in District 7, but had used the Little Black Cauldron to travel from District 7 to District 6? Or even traveled to District 5, District 4, District 3...
Qian Luo had some ideas. Her current mission was to rescue Sun Rushuang and fulfill the instructions of Senior Lan Mingzhu.
It’s not that she hasn’t thought about going to the upper third district, but she feels that it is a very distant thing. It will take at least a hundred years or even a thousand years for her cultivation to reach the Nascent Soul stage.
Now with the Immortal Cultivation Simulator, she could make bold predictions. She patted her chest and said, "Just once, I swear, just once, give it a try."
So which district should we go to?
She thought carefully, the director of District Six is in the early stage of Core Formation, which is not good, and there are not many good magic weapons. The director of District Five is in the middle stage of Core Formation, and there may be some good magic weapons. The director of District Four is in the late stage of Core Formation, and he must have some good magic weapons!
As for the upper three districts, there are Nascent Soul ancestors in charge and many magic weapons. It is hard to guarantee that they will not see through her. She is a cultivator in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. She enters the upper three districts and should be seen through by those Jindan Nascent Soul cultivators. After all, they are all old foxes who have lived for hundreds of years.
In case someone finds out that she is carrying a rare treasure, she is not worried about anything else. What she is most worried about is the Immortal Cultivation Simulator. She has never told her trump card to anyone, including Liu Xiaoqing and the spirit beast Chi Zhao.
"It's decided... District 4!"
[This simulation consumes 200 points, and there are 2 simulation opportunities left, with a total of 400 points remaining.]
Start simulation
[At the age of 20, you sneak into the fourth district to search for hidden magic weapons.]
[In the past three years, you have participated in many secret realms, both large and small, but have not found the hidden magic weapon.]
At 23, you settled down in District 4 and discovered a high-quality concealment artifact in the Treasure Pavilion. Selling pills and formations, you saved money to buy the Treasure Pavilion's mid-level concealment artifact.
At 25, while waiting for the opening of other secret realms, you saved money to buy a magic weapon. However, a mid-level Dan-Jie magic weapon requires 100 mid-grade spirit stones, equivalent to 10,000 low-grade spirit stones and 1,000,000 spirit beads, making it extremely expensive. Your third-grade elixirs and elementary formations won't sell for so many mid-grade spirit stones.
At 30, you finally waited for the opening of the Frost Blue Secret Realm. It's said that the Frost Blue Secret Realm is a relic of the Snow Region, a vast nation five thousand years ago. Children born there are likely to have Water Spiritual Roots or Ice Spiritual Roots, making the Snow Region incredibly powerful. It once ruled the Tianyan Continent, but its demise is unknown.
[There are countless magical treasures and even spiritual treasures in the Frost Blue Secret Realm. You took a risk to hide the magical treasures.]
A month later, you, at the peak of the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, are but a tiny existence in the Frost Blue Secret Realm. There are countless Jindan cultivators. You desperately hide, have seen countless corpses, and don't even have a storage bag.
You gave up the fight with the Jindan cultivators for the Snow Region Ruins, and decided to save up money to buy the mid-level magic weapon in the Treasure Pavilion after the secret realm was opened.
Two months later, a sudden avalanche struck the snowy region, and heavy snow collapsed, burying many people before they could even call for help.
You escaped a disaster with the help of the Little Black Cauldron. When you opened your eyes again, you decided to dig through the ice and snow to find corpses and storage bags, making a fortune. You then sold them to the owner of the Treasure Pavilion, earning mid-grade spirit stones to buy mid-level magic weapons.
Three days later, you stumble upon a mid-stage Jindan cultivator wearing a Lingyu Ring. It's a high-level magical weapon that can conceal your cultivation level, your form, and even your appearance! Only Yuanying cultivators can see through this high-level magical weapon, and you're incredibly excited.
[You check the monk's storage bag and find that she has a lot of high-grade spirit stones in it. You guess that she is the eldest daughter of the upper third district.]
You had just refined a high-level magical weapon and buried your benefactor when a wave of icy force struck you dead. A strange woman's voice echoed in your ears. Afterward, you lost consciousness.
【At the age of 30, you unfortunately passed away.】
[After the simulation is over, you can choose one of the options to convert.]
[Choose 1, 30-year-old cultivation level]
[Choose cultivation items for ages 20 and 30]
【Select life memories at 3 or 30 years old】
"God Ou, please bless me to obtain the Spirit Feather Ring!"
[Simulation ends, you obtain a high-level magic weapon: Spirit Feather Ring.]
"Ahhhhh!" Qian Luo looked at the turquoise ring in front of her and was so happy that she almost fell off the spirit sword. She rubbed the spirit feather ring in front of her in ecstasy.
The silver ring edge is engraved with intricate patterns, and there is a silver-gray feather in the plump and round emerald. I don’t know what kind of flying beast the feather is, but it is small and soft, and seems to have vitality. If you look closely, you will see it flashing with a cold luster, flowing with light, and shining with cold jade.
It is indeed a high-level magic weapon that lives up to its reputation.
This mid-level magic weapon costs 100 mid-grade spirit stones. How much does this high-level magic weapon cost?
The upper three districts are still richer.
But who did she offend in District 4? Why was she killed?
Frost Blue Secret Realm? Snowy Ruins? If I ever get the chance to go to Area 4, I'd definitely go check it out. This secret realm is chock-full of goodies, otherwise why would there be so many Jindan cultivators?
Qianluo happily put it on her hand. After refining it, she could move it as she wished. The originally gorgeous and dazzling ring turned into an ordinary silver ring. If you look closely, it looks like an ornament, but in fact, she has concealed the ring's appearance.
Qian Luo lowered her cultivation level and became a cultivator at the tenth level of Qi training. She also changed her appearance to become a pretty girl.
Three days later, Qianluo successfully entered Area 7.
——
There are people coming and going, it’s very lively.
After Qian Luo walked out of the barrier, she hid her appearance and cultivation level all the way. When she met mortals and cultivators, they were all warm, polite, and kind without exception. Many of them even invited her to have a meal.
Qianluo was puzzled. In the previous simulation, she had only focused on Sun Rushuang's whereabouts and hadn't paid attention to the local customs and people of District 7. She had thought that District 7, like Districts 8 and 9, was deeply oppressed by the District Chief, but the people here were filled with joy and happiness, without any resentment or grievance of being oppressed.
I had always thought this was an isolated incident, until I walked onto the streets of District 7. I realized how peaceful and comfortable this place was. The roads were flat and wide, and there were all sorts of shops on both sides of the road, selling magical instruments, talismans, elixirs, and formations...
She couldn't help but feel a little dazed, thinking that this was Wendao Mountain or the city center of District 9. You know, they spent three years in District 9 to make it look like what it is now.
"Treasure Pavilion?"
There is also a treasure house here, which is decorated in an antique style. If you don’t know, you might think you have come to the commercial street of the Blue Star tourist city.
Qian Luo glanced at the plaque on the door and walked in. As soon as she entered, a male staff member dressed as a waiter came to greet her. "Hello, young lady. We sell low-level magic tools, first-grade elixirs, and elementary formations on the first floor of the Treasure Pavilion... What can I do for you?"
The waiter saw Qianluo sizing up his attire and scratched his head sheepishly, "This is the boss's request. He said the staff at the main store dress this way. They like the ancient style."
Qianluo took out a bottle of elixirs and handed it to him: "Do you accept second-grade elixirs here?"
The waiter was surprised. He didn't expect there would be such a surprise today. There was actually a second-grade elixir!
He took it with both hands, trotting along, and handed it to an older steward. The steward opened it, smelled the medicinal fragrance, and exclaimed in amazement: "Yes, it's a second-grade pill."
There has been a shortage of elixirs recently, with supply exceeding demand. Alchemists are already scarce, and the three alchemists employed by the store have all been called to the district chief's palace to work. They did not dare to object and could only agree to it.
If this continues, there will be a shortage of elixirs and business will be very difficult!
"Hello, I'm Qian Youcai, the manager here. This second-grade Spirit Gathering Pill is of good quality. Our Baibao Pavilion is willing to buy it. One bottle costs 5 low-grade spirit stones. What do you think?"
Qian Youcai looked at the brightly dressed girl in front of him. She was younger than him, but her cultivation was even higher than his. It was obvious that her family background should not be underestimated. His tone became more respectful.
"Manager Qian, please don't lie to me. I've just arrived in your District 7 and don't quite understand the rules. I see that your store's second-grade Spirit Gathering Pills are only selling for 10 low-grade spirit stones a bottle."
Qian Youcai explained with a smile, "This is the price set by our shopkeeper, and we have no other choice. But if you come to buy second-grade elixirs, we will definitely give you a discount."
Then he looked at the girl's expression and continued, "So, young lady, you are not from District 7?"
The girl was too careless to hide anything, so she spoke directly, "I'm definitely not from your area! I accidentally fell into a teleportation array while playing in the mountains and entered your District 7. I sold the second-grade Spirit Gathering Pill because I had no money. Otherwise, I would have kept it for myself."
"Oh?" No wonder she has such cultivation. No need to guess, she must be the eldest lady of the third district. Qian Youcai touched his beard and nodded, thinking he was smart.
Qian Luo continued to build closer ties: "Manager Qian, I think you're a nice person. I'd like to ask, is there anything I need to pay attention to in District 7? Since I'm here, I'd like to play here for a few more days before leaving."
Qian Youcai also wanted to build a good relationship, so he smiled and said, "Girl, you've asked the right person. The people in District 7 are simple and honest. We are definitely not like Districts 9 and 8, who are poor, backward, barbaric and greedy."
"Our District 7 is mainly divided into seven communities. You are in Yuanbao Community, which is a commercial street. Further ahead are Ping'an Community, Xingfu Community, Kuaile Community, and Ruyi Community, which are residential areas. Further ahead is Yushuang Community, where our schools in District 7 are located: Qiuyu College for girls and Dongshuang College for boys."
"Our District 7 has a small population, but a high happiness index. We can support so many people with just one commercial street, and the children don't have to worry about going to school." Qian Youcai said proudly, "So many parents in District 8 want to send their children to District 7."
Qianluo raised an eyebrow: "Is this a separate school for boys and girls?"
Qian Youcai nodded. "Yes, our district chief is kind and benevolent. He believes that coeducation can help boys and girls focus on cultivation and prevent teenage rebellion. After all, children with spiritual roots have a long way to go in the future and cannot be obsessed with love."
"My daughter attends Qiuyu College, and she only has one holiday a month. Although we as parents feel bad, there's nothing we can do." He shook his head and sighed, "It's all for the better future of her."
"So when will you graduate?"
Qian Youcai: "As long as you reach the age of 25, you will automatically graduate. Those with lower cultivation levels can apply for jobs in our commercial street. Those with higher cultivation levels will be recommended to the District Mayor's Palace, and some will even be sent to the Middle Third District to reach a higher level."
At this point, he sighed, "I don't ask my daughter to achieve great things, I just hope she can be recommended to the district governor's palace and have a stable job, instead of being a businessman like me, entertaining guests and having to please everyone."
"Before District 8 closed its barriers, there were still monks from District 8 coming to buy things, but now the number is decreasing. However, these things are in short supply, so our business is doing well."
Qianluo found out the information she needed and left. Looking at the hardworking people on the commercial street, everyone nodded to her and greeted her with a smile.
Even Chi Zhao couldn't help but jump out, walking with his short legs, holding the dried fish fed by everyone in his mouth, with a smile on his face.
He jumped lightly into the girl's arms: "District 7 is so happy. Now we don't need you to save us."
Qianluo took a look at the dried fish and found that it was a spirit fish: "It really is a good thing."
Chi Zhao held the dried fish in his mouth and ate it with great relish: "A kind person gave it to me, and you didn't buy it for me."
"The people in District 7 are so nice, I don't want to go back."
Qianluo thought of Chen Ziqiu, who was taking yin to replenish yang, and sneered: "Why do I feel like I'm hiding even deeper?"
"You're just thinking too much!" Chi Zhao felt sleepy after eating a small dried fish and yawned, "What's wrong? I feel dizzy."
As soon as he finished speaking, he fainted in the girl's arms. The stall owner who had been following him all the way seized the opportunity and stepped forward to offer his iron hook. The hook tip flashed with a bloodthirsty luster. The stall owner was determined to get her: "Little girl, you and your spirit pet are mine!"
"And your second-grade Spirit Gathering Pill, I'm also envious!"
He initially thought the fat cat was a monster with no offensive power and was very greedy, so he deliberately handed it the medicinal fish. Unexpectedly, it actually had an owner, and the owner turned out to be the little girl he saw in the Treasure Pavilion.
The stall owner could see clearly at the door of Baibao Pavilion that this little girl was an outsider, she was at the tenth level of Qi training, and she had a spirit pet with her. She must be a young lady from the third district.
Do you really think the people in District 7 are simple and honest?
What a young lady who doesn't know how treacherous people are!
As a cultivator at the tenth level of Qi training, is he afraid that he can't control a little girl?
He was full of confidence and summoned the high-level magic weapon, the Flying Iron Hook, thinking that he would hit the target with one strike and capture the little girl and the strange monster.
Unexpectedly, before he could see how the other party attacked, he fell to the ground with a thud.
Qianluo glanced at the fat cat in her arms. It had its eyes closed and was already asleep, unaware of what was happening. She sighed, "There's no such thing as a free lunch, only traps."
