My Longevity Simulation

Chapter 1220: The Fishing Finally Yields a Treasure

Daoist Hundred Flowers came to report her work to Li Ping.

Of course, the main reason was to request more source power essence.

After absorbing it several times and experiencing rapid strength increases, Hundred Flowers had already tasted the sweetness and found it hard to let go.

In truth, the golden source power created through the You Clan’s prayer rituals still had some distance from true source power essence.

However, for an ancient method Longevity Immortal cultivator like Hundred Flowers, being able to advance further was already no different from the real thing.

While greeting Li Ping, Hundred Flowers also noticed Qiao Gong and Tianyang beside him.

Although Tianyang appeared as a teenager on the outside, the power contained within his body made Hundred Flowers secretly alarmed.

As for Qiao Gong, he gave her a familiar feeling.

It was the aura of a cultivator from outside the Xuanhuang Realm.

The Holy Dynasty of Great Qi had gathered far too many strange and unusual characters. She had long since grown accustomed to it.

For her, this was actually a good thing.

After receiving the source power essence from Li Ping, Hundred Flowers happily returned.

“Fellow Daoist, who was that?” Qiao Gong asked somewhat reservedly.

“Daoist Hundred Flowers, former sect master of the Heavenly Lotus Sect in the Wansheng Realm.” Li Ping introduced briefly.

This simple sentence shocked Qiao Gong and also stirred his imagination.

She was actually like him, a survivor from another immortal cultivation world. Did that mean there were even more such people in this small world?

Carrying this question, Qiao Gong and Tianyang followed Li Ping’s lead and toured the Holy Dynasty of Great Qi roughly.

Whether it was the Immortal Spirit Pagodas that released spiritual energy day and night without rest, or the patrolling arrows that swept across the skies on alert, both left the two deeply amazed.

During the tour, the occasionally encountered unfathomable individuals further made them realize: within the Holy Dynasty of Great Qi, there were many hidden dragons and crouching tigers, many existences like themselves.

In the end, they arrived inside the Holy Emperor’s throne hall.

Li Ping returned to his rightful position, looked down at the two, and his voice echoed in the empty building.

“Fellow Daoist Qiao Gong, I know your artifact refining skills are superb.”

“I have some ideas here for refining new puppets. You may as well take a look and draw inspiration from them.”

Qiao Gong was quickly drawn in by the plans Li Ping displayed.

“Source power essence, combined with body transforming into the Dao, paired with the artifact refining techniques from the Heavenly Mechanism Realm…”

“To create existences with their own consciousness that can rival immortal-grade puppets.”

The more Qiao Gong looked, the more excited he became.

In his view, this plan was completely feasible. Many of the ideas inside even coincided with his own long-held concepts.

“I will specially open up a space within the Great Qi small world as your research area.”

“Tianyang will also assist you.”

Li Ping continued: “First refine some puppets to practice. Once there are no issues, then help transform Tianyang.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Gong glanced at Tianyang and suddenly understood.

“With Ink Flame as the foundation and source power essence to assist in sublimation…”

“Once completed, his strength will probably not be below that of a Xuanhuang Longevity Immortal cultivator!”

Thinking that in the future he could truly birth Longevity Immortal cultivators, or even immortal-grade existences in a certain sense, with his own hands, Qiao Gong could not help but feel secretly thrilled.

Shortly after completing the handover with the relevant personnel of Great Qi, Qiao Gong impatiently began his work.

“With everything prepared, next is to wait for the people from the Medicine King Sect to return.” Li Ping thought.

He had long laid a dragnet. Once the Medicine King Cauldron returned to the Xuanhuang Realm, it would be directly drawn into the Great Qi small world.

Although pills did not have much effect on improving the overall strength of Great Qi, Li Ping possessed quite a few vicious pill recipes that could severely weaken the cultivators of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance.

The Faceless Holy Emperor sat upright on the Holy Emperor’s throne, his mind flashing through all recent affairs of the Holy Dynasty.

There was no need for him to handle everything personally; everything was proceeding in an orderly manner and developing steadily for the better.

Everyone knew that the Holy Emperor was watching at all times, so indeed no one dared to slack off.

After reviewing these minor matters, the Holy Emperor’s thoughts slowly calmed.

His figure flickered, and the next moment he arrived in the dark secret chamber beneath the Holy Emperor’s throne.

This place resembled an endless starry sky. Dozens of treasures floated quietly like stars, emitting brilliant light.

The Holy Dynasty’s fishing competition had never stopped for even a moment.

The treasures fished out from the fishing pond were countless.

Li Ping had not broken the promise he made back then.

All these treasures belonged entirely to the individual citizens of the Holy Dynasty.

Of course, for those who did not need the treasures due to personal temperament or because they could not figure out their specific uses, they could choose to hand them over in exchange for other rewards.

Inside this treasury were treasures from the fishing pond that still had no owners.

Most of them, Li Fan did not care much about.

Only one among them…

Li Ping extended his right hand, and golden source power essence suddenly appeared.

One of the light orbs in the treasury reacted the fastest. Before the other light orbs could make any move, it had already come to Li Ping’s side.

It rotated continuously in a flattering manner.

Inside the light orb, a small kitten could be vaguely seen, looking at Li Ping with eager eyes.

Li Ping condensed the source power essence at his fingertip, and the little kitten instantly understood his intention.

It cheered and approached, licking Li Ping’s finger.

“It is like a beast yet not a beast, like an artifact yet not an artifact. The vast Star Sea is truly full of wonders. Such a creation actually exists.” Li Ping could not help but sigh inwardly.

This little kitten looked harmless.

Yet the moment it approached, the golden source power web inside Li Fan’s body sensed danger and activated protection on its own.

Although it seemed like a living creature, it had no trace of life aura at all.

In fact, when it was first fished out, it was merely a small cat-shaped statue.

No matter how the lucky angler tried various methods to test it, he could not find any use for the cat-shaped statue. In the end, he reluctantly handed it over to the Holy Dynasty in exchange for other rewards.

At the beginning, even Li Ping had not noticed anything unusual about it.

It was not until one day that he suddenly realized some treasures stored in the treasury had inexplicably decreased. Only after using source power essence for a fishing enforcement operation did he catch the culprit.

The cat was merely one of its forms.

After eating its fill, it lazily prepared to sleep, but then sensed the intention transmitted by Li Ping.

Although still somewhat unwilling, considering its future meals, the little kitten let out a weak and powerless low roar.

After a flash of cyan light, the little kitten transformed into the shape of a small square box.

Around the box were engraved some strange scenes.

Celestial stars falling, countless beasts proliferating across the earth.

In the Star Sea, countless giant ships stretched endlessly.

Two colossal human figures confronted each other, separated by a river of light and shadow in the middle.

…

Li Ping held the small square box and aimed it at one of the light orbs in the treasury.

At one end of the box, a faint cyan light was instantly released.

It enveloped the light orb within.
