Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace-Chapter 61 Search

The night is a mix of light and darkness.

It’s already early morning.

Yet the clamor outside the window continues incessantly.

Tonight is a sleepless night.

Chen Mo is multitasking.

While simulating, he’s planning to swallow the golden core to purify his body.

After all, such a precious elixir should be consumed sooner.

If others find out, it might invite covetous intentions, which would be unfavorable.

Therefore, after returning to his room, Chen Mo first fetched a bucket of water, intending to clean up the bloodstains on him after the body purification.

Chen Mo sat cross-legged on the ground, running the Feather Nirvana Heart Scripture, and then took out the wooden box given by Xiao Yunxi.

Opening the box, a golden elixir emanated a faint medicinal aroma.

Chen Mo took it in his hand and tossed it into his mouth.

Swallowing the golden core, my fate is controlled by myself, not by heaven.

A night passed.

When morning light shone on Saint Emperor Mountain.

In the room, a young man slowly opened his eyes, but the next moment, he started retching.

Because a layer of visibly filthy mud covered his body, emitting a foul stench.

It was as though spoiled food had been soaked in a latrine for days.

Chen Mo took off his clothes, pinched his nose, and jumped into the wooden bucket full of water, starting to wash his face, then scrubbed his entire body.

This layer of filth on his body must be impurities.

He was originally a rural child, doing farm work since childhood, often underfed due to poverty, he once ate tree bark and Guanyin Earth, thus impurities accumulated over the years.

After cleaning off the filth, Chen Mo felt his body had become more transparent, the speed of True Qi’s flow, absorption, and release had become faster.

A smile appeared on Chen Mo’s face.

That also meant his future cultivation speed could increase significantly.

Of course, this golden core not only purifies his body.

Chen Mo felt his physique had strengthened considerably.

Though growing up doing manual work, he didn’t have abs, only strength.

But now, muscles appeared on his arms and belly.

Not only that, his power had increased greatly too.

One might say this golden core has given him an all-round boost.

If Chen Mo looks in the mirror now, he’d find himself more sunny and handsome.

If outside the Imperial Palace, with this level of attractiveness, Chen Mo could easily charm the girls.

Thinking about that, Chen Mo glanced down.

Since the Ice Spirit Cold Jade given by Xiao Yunxi lost efficacy, the heart fire accumulated from Feather Nirvana Heart Scripture had grown more intense over days.

Although there’s the Clear Heart Technique.

It can only keep him rational, not resolve the issue fundamentally...

At this rate, one day, even the Clear Heart Technique might become ineffective...

Chen Mo silently recited the Clear Heart Technique, repeatedly reminding himself to relax, relax, relax...

Moments later.

Chen Mo climbed out of the wooden bucket, dried off with a towel, then put on a clean eunuch’s uniform, and climbed onto the soft bed across which he retrieved the Red Sun Bell from under the pillow.

Last night he didn’t take the Red Sun Bell with him.

If he had used the Red Sun Bell, maybe...

But thinking it over, Chen Mo shook his head.

The Great Song Dynasty doesn’t have things like Space Rings, and the eunuch’s uniform has no pockets, anything must be kept in the bosom or sleeves.

If he moves too much, it easily falls out.

Chen Mo just went out to practice and didn’t expect to find such a situation.

Having acknowledged the Red Sun Bell, it radiated a mysterious glow.

Chen Mo placed the Red Sun Bell into his bosom, opened the window for ventilation, and was about to go dump the water when he saw a group of eunuch officers clothed in brocade cloaks, led by Wang Ze, approaching.

"General Wang, what’s the matter?" Chen Mo put down the bucket, noticed the swords on the eunuch officers and frowned.

"Eunuch Chen, we meet again." Wang Ze smiled lightly at Chen Mo, then said, "Routine procedure, Eunuch Chen, please don’t mind."

"Oh?" Chen Mo’s eyes showed a trace of puzzlement.

"I suspect an inside agent from the Black Shadow Killer Organization in the harem last night. I’ve come to search by Your Majesty’s command," Wang Ze said.

Saying that, he stared closely into Chen Mo’s eyes.

Surprised appeared in Chen Mo’s eyes, and just as Wang Ze’s brows raised, Chen Mo said, "Are you suspecting me, General Wang?"

"Just a joke, only routine procedures." Wang Ze gestured, and the eunuch officers behind him immediately leaped forward.

During the search, Wang Ze glanced at the water in the bucket beside Chen Mo, saying, "Eunuch Chen, what is this for?"

"For cultivation," Chen Mo replied.

"Oh." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Wang Ze responded with a glance and said no more, looking around the room.

The room was turned over, and then an eunuch officer came out holding a eunuch’s uniform stained with blood.

"Eunuch Chen, what is this?" Wang Ze pointed at the eunuch’s uniform.

"Last night, I was protecting the Empress, this blood is all from the assassins. You may ask the Empress," Chen Mo said truthfully.

Upon hearing this, Wang Ze glanced at the head of the eunuch officers.

The leader shook his head, indicating nothing else was found aside from that.

Wang Ze nodded, then said, "Eunuch Chen, may I ask, where were you around midnight last night?"

"Midnight, let me think..." Chen Mo pondered for a moment before saying, "If I remember correctly, I should have been attending to the Empress."

"Is that so?" Wang Ze pursed his lips and then summoned two eunuch officers forward, one holding a wooden box with a piece of soil in it and a footprint.

The other eunuch officer held a piece of white paper.

"This footprint collected in the woodshed area doesn’t belong to the assassins, so I suspect it might be the insider’s. To eliminate suspicion, Eunuch Chen, please step on it." Wang Ze said.

The eunuch holding the white paper placed it under Chen Mo’s foot.

Wang Ze smiled, "Just routine procedure."

Just as Chen Mo was about to step on it.

A sharp voice rang in his ears.

"How dare you! Such audacity to search on my territory, you didn’t consider me at all!"

Xiao Yunxi, dressed formally, her skirt flowing on the floor, and crowned, accompanied by Cai’Er, walked over quickly.

"Greetings to the Empress." Wang Ze and the eunuch officers behind him hurriedly saluted, then said, "This is by Your Majesty’s decree, I merely follow routine procedure."

Xiao Yunxi frowned, "So your routine procedure reaches the Empress’s head?"

"I dare not," Wang Ze lowered his head.

"Hmph." Xiao Yunxi coldly snorted, then calmly said, "During the woodshed fire, Chen Hong was with me, absolutely no chance of committing such an act, you may leave now."
