Cultivating Immortality: What kind of cheat can you use if you don't have money?

Li Qingyi transmigrated to the world of cultivation, and although he was fortunate enough to become a gifted genius, he was destined to be used as medicinal material by cultivation families for alchemy. Unwilling to accept this fate, he was determined to fight for a chance at survival in this desperate situation. Unexpectedly, he awakened a cultivation simulator. [Deep Blue Simulator: Consumes spirit stones to simulate future events.] [Current Consumption: 10 spirit stones per use, consumption increases with cultivation level.] [Treasures, cultivation levels, mastered techniques, supernatural abilities, and even oneself obtained in the simulation... can be extracted and transferred to reality.] Li Qingyi wept with joy... Several years later, Li Qingyi's businesses had spread throughout the cultivation world. "This Green-Robed Immortal is said to be incredibly wealthy, yet he's obsessed with spirit stones, a complete miser." "Of course! Last time the Xiao family owed him money, he blocked their gates for a whole month! Not a single member of their clan could get in or out. Finally, the Xiao family patriarch emerged from seclusion and paid a large sum of spirit stones, and the matter was finally settled." Li Qingyi sat to the side, listening to the crowd's discussion, looking at the current simulation costs, and his lips twitched. "Without spirit stones, what am I going to use for the simulation?"
