With Cultivation Simulator in a Chaotic World

"Hmm?"

Xiang Wuji’s expression changed slightly.

The fox maidens quickly changed the subject, avoiding further mention of this matter.

Xiang Wuji, too, chose not to meddle.

The opening of the Ten Thousand Demons Celestial Pool was imminent, and he needed to prepare for it...

............

"Damn demons!"

"I’ll fight you to the death!"

"Ah!!!"

Wails echoed within the cold and damp dungeon.

Several high-level cultivators, who once wore luxurious and noble garments, now lay in the cold, damp, stinking cells, their clothing in tatters and aura weakened.

Only the newly captured cultivators had the strength to resist.

"Hold them down, make them swallow the Spirit Transformation Powder to disperse their cultivation."

"Then send them to the Human Circle for breeding."

The fox-eared, scar-faced man, tall and imposing, knocked a human cultivator unconscious with a slap, wiping his hand with a handkerchief as he spoke.

"Recently, a guest has arrived in the clan; he’s a human-demon body, so keep the commotion down and don’t let the guest know about these things."

"To avoid unpleasantness."

The scar-faced man spoke calmly.

The fox clan guards nearby all acknowledged his words.

"Human Race? We are irreconcilable with the Human Race. Other than some human slaves bred by us, are there actually humans who can walk freely within our territory?"

A young-looking guard hesitated, gently asking the demon cultivator next to him.

"That’s a demon body, with the blood of the Demon Race; he’s one of us."

The companion replied,

and the trace of hatred in the young guard’s eyes gradually dissipated.

"Boom!!"

The main door was suddenly opened wide.

"Young Master, Young Master, you cannot enter."

"Young Master, this is a secured area of our clan!"

"Young Master!"

A tall figure dressed in a black robe burst in, with five or six fox maidens trying to stop him, yet to no avail.

Xiang Wuji squinted, observing everything around him.

This was a massive underground prison, cold and damp, with a faint stench of decaying flesh.

Simultaneously, Xiang Wuji felt the True Essence circulating within him slightly stagnate.

This place had a formation suppressing human True Essence functioning.

Xiang Wuji ignored the obstruction of those around him and walked step by step into the depths of the prison, gazing at the humans imprisoned inside.

Every human had True Essence within them, all cultivators.

Moreover, judging by the strength of their physical bodies, they were at least Foundation Establishment cultivators.

However, their gazes were somewhat numb at the moment.

Sensing Xiang Wuji’s aura, their vacant looks gradually regained some spark.

The deeper Xiang Wuji walked,

the more vitality the imprisoned people seemed to gain.

Xiang Wuji saw a figure akin to an Immortal Fairy with her Golden Core extracted, her collarbones locked.

An extraordinarily dignified elder lay weakly on the ground.

There were also children, hugging their legs, fearfully crouching in the corners.

Reaching the deepest part,

"Demons, even as ghosts, we won’t let you off..."

"No, absolutely not..."

These were the few remaining rational cultivators, still retaining traces of True Essence aura.

"Young Master Xiang, this is a secured area of our clan; since you have mistakenly entered, please leave."

The scar-faced man stepped forward, bowing respectfully to Xiang Wuji.

"What exactly are these people used for..."

Xiang Wuji’s voice was extraordinarily calm.

The scar-faced man and several fox maidens remained silent, only gesturing for Xiang Wuji to leave.

"Naturally, they are used for alchemy and breeding."

"You humans can hunt and breed our Demon Race, but we demons are not allowed to kill your Human Race?"

The young guard stepped forward, indignantly speaking.

"Shut up."

The scar-faced man slapped the young guard to the ground.

However, if not for his permission, the guard wouldn’t have had the chance to speak out...

[Since ancient times, humans have hunted spirit beasts, seizing their Demon Pills and flesh for alchemy, their feathers, scales, teeth, and bones for refining artifacts...]

[Countless Demons were hunted and bred by humans, and sects like the Beast Taming Sect rose, cultivating spirit beasts, breeding spiritually wise beasts, eliminating the inferior while selling the superior as mounts and battle pets...]

[For demons, humans are also nourishing spirit pills.]

[After the rise of the Human Race, alchemy using demon flesh and Demon Pills emerged, and within the Demon Race, methods of using humans for pills gradually appeared.]

[Demons began learning from humans, either breeding them or using them as pills.]

[Humans hunt and breed demons to strengthen their power, and demons reciprocate by hunting and breeding humans for alchemy.]

[The hatred between the two races has eased somewhat with their slight fusion, and in distant other states, humans have forgotten their grudges against demons, but in Huangzhou and on the borders of Kuizhou, this ancient hatred still persists.]

[The Fox Race took you to visit the Human Circle.]

[Here lies a mortal dynasty bred by the Celestial Fox Race, with traces of cultivation civilization, where humans live carefree, the price being daily sacrificial offerings to seek the Fox Immortal’s protection, a state the people here have grown accustomed to.]

[Those cultivators in the cells were human cultivators sent from the frontlines of the human-demon war, individuals with exceptional aptitude intended to enhance the average Spirit Root strength of the Human Circle.]

[Humans with strong Spirit Roots provide extra benefits to the Demon Race.]

[The Fox Race informed you that among the Demon Realm clans, the Celestial Fox Race is relatively kind to humans because the Human Pill they refine requires intelligent and dexterous humans as materials; in other demon races, such Human Circles are truly bred like livestock, lacking civilization, writing, language... only instincts.]
