With Cultivation Simulator in a Chaotic World-Chapter 271 - 241: Peach Blossom Spring

Jiang Ming extended his divine sense into it, using his knowledge of pharmacology to analyze.

Although many herbs of the two realms are different, the essence of pharmacology and the Alchemy Dao is the same.

Quickly, Jiang Ming noticed something amiss.

"The flesh and blood of malevolent spirits..." Jiang Ming was not unfamiliar with this; demons and spirit monsters all possess physical bodies, naturally leaving behind corpses, blood, and flesh.

"Everlasting Grass, Three Yin Grass, Sea Flower Fruit..." Jiang Ming named each herb.

These are all herbs from the Great Lii.

"And also... Ling Blood Cold Flower and Minghong Grass? No, the medicinal properties are essentially different, and these two herbs are from the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm; I’ve never seen similar herbs in Great Lii..."

"This smell..."

Jiang Ming’s eyes showed a slight surprise.

"It’s blood, human blood, and it’s the blood of a Heart Lamp Cultivator..."

"And it’s blood infused with a trace of mana."

Jiang Ming placed the pill back on the shelf.

In Mingwu City, the blood and flesh of Martial Artists are transformed into blood cows, and then the blood and flesh of these blood cows nourish the entire city’s Martial Artists.

The Southern Wilderness is no better; basic cultivation pills contain the flesh and blood of malevolent spirits and the blood of Heart Lamp Cultivators.

The enormous demand from the Southern Wilderness ensures that this Heart Lamp Cultivators’ blood is not donated voluntarily, as typical Heart Lamp Cultivators do not have such broad-mindedness.

"The Southern Wilderness... truly... insane."

Jiang Ming stood by the street, observing the entire city.

There was a busy hustle, tinged with a sense of urgency and yearning, with strict order, and Immortal Masters held utmost respect.

Jiang Ming maintained a calm expression as he left Black Sea City, continuing his journey southward.

The numbers of spirit monsters and Immortal Masters, as well as other malevolent spirits, increased.

In the inland areas where Immortal Masters are rarely seen, in the Southern Wilderness, they are always out and about.

The same is true for spirit monsters; the further south he went, the more villages there were.

Each powerful spirit monster protected a village, and in return, the village had to fully support them.

In exchange, the presence of humans attracted numerous malevolent spirits.

These included Mortal Transcendence Demons that even attacked people and livestock during the daytime.

Therefore, people became even more eager for the protection of spirit monster guardians; the more villages there were, the more malevolent spirits arose, forming a cycle.

Jiang Ming even saw the existence of a spirit monster family managing three large villages, starting to produce offspring, and letting them establish new villages not far away. Spirit monsters could even coexist with village residents in harmony.

This coalition of villages was called... Peach Blossom Spring.

"So, the village deity system around those main cities in the inland was passed down from the Southern Wilderness?"

Jiang Ming sat atop a small hill, where green grass covered the ground, and peach blossom trees blossomed, petals falling softly to the ground, the fresh fragrance seemingly able to wash away all worries.

From the hill, he could see fields and wilderness in the distance, with farmers diligently working, children playing, and elders working with smiles.

Beside Jiang Ming was a somewhat slender peach blossom tree.

Slowly, a cute child’s face appeared on the peach blossom tree.

"That’s right! Without us village deities, the population of Great Lii wouldn’t be as abundant as now."

An innocent child’s voice unexpectedly came from the peach blossom tree.

This was Jiang Ming’s newest friend, or perhaps the other party proactively befriended Jiang Ming.

Just like the Peach Blossom Spring from Jiang Ming’s previous life, he stumbled into this Peach Blossom Spring during his journey south, where the map marked it as a barren mountain.

"Oh? That might be so, I’ve heard that the Divine Capital has appointed several powerful spirit monsters as National Guardian Deities, so it seems that the Great Lii’s connection with you spirit monsters is quite deep."

The peach blossom tree gently hummed.

And continued, "What spirit monsters, we are village deities; those chaotic creatures devouring people are spirit monsters, as for the True Gods seniors..."

The face on the peach blossom tree showed an obvious look of admiration. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"They have always been my idols, but unfortunately, we village deities don’t even fill half the seats among the True Gods."

Jiang Ming’s eyes flashed; so the True Gods conferred by the Divine Capital aren’t all spirit monsters? No, in their understanding, it seems that spirit monsters and village deities are two different entities.

Jiang Ming wanted to say something.

Beside him, the tree branches of the peach blossom tree trembled slightly.

A young girl with pigtails, dressed in pink, jumped out from the tree.

At some unknown time, a white-bearded elder leaning on a staff stood beside the two.

"Grandpa."

The young girl ran into the elder’s arms.

Jiang Ming and the elder’s eyes met.

Jiang Ming felt a slight shock; the cultivation of the elder before him was unfathomable, certainly not a Calamity Level spirit monster, at least a Disaster Level spirit monster, equivalent to a Golden Core level powerhouse.

However, Jiang Ming could sense that the elder bore him no ill will.

He simply nodded toward Jiang Ming.

"Tao Yao, is this your new friend?"

"Since he’s a guest, why not follow this old man, and let this old man entertain you, as there are also guests at the house."

"Tao Yao, come along with me."

After he spoke, the elder left, and Tao Yao turned, pulling Jiang Ming’s hand, following the elder.

Jiang Ming offered no resistance.

Just as there are wicked people among the Human Race who kill and eat their own kind, among spirit monsters, there are those who dislike slaughter and bloodshed, ’good people.’

At least these villages live up to their name.

Peach Blossom Spring.

The residents of Black Sea City displayed only a few emotions: anxiety, excitement, fear, fanaticism...
