Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World-Chapter 152 - 110: First Tier Low-Level Alchemist_3
Conducting business in such a high-profile manner could easily attract trouble.
...
Throughout this period, Chen Yi took the chance to visit the Martial World several times,
Ma San Dao had made some progress in finding the ancient spiritual objects. He discovered that the Zhao Family, one of the three big families in the county, might possess what Chen Yi needed. The other two families might have it as well, but Ma San Dao wasn't sure.
Because of Chen Yi's prior instructions, Ma San Dao dared not act rashly.
Chen Yi acknowledged this and planned to visit them when he could concoct a pill that would let Huajin Martial Artists break through to the Master Level.
After all, these spirit objects had been passed down for countless years; a few more wouldn't harm them.
On another note, Elder Feng advised Chen Yi to make some time to visit the front lines of the Demon Suppression Alliance.
It seemed that Monk Kong Jian from Bright Temple wanted to meet him.
Chen Yi understood that progress was being made with the Vajra Skills System,
but he was unsure of Monk Kong Jian's conditions.
As for this issue...
Chen Yi hesitated, deciding to go once he reached mid-stage Qi Refining. Since his cultivation as a Body Cultivator had not even reached half the third layer, it was not too urgent for him.
Recently, their three-year agreement with Song Chengcheng and their party was about to be up.
Chen Yi prepared to refine more pills and plan to sell them all when leaving Zhao Family Island, in exchange for high-level spiritual grass and first-tier mid-quality pill recipes.
In the following half a year, Chen Yi seldom stepped out of his courtyard, practicing the Turtle Breathing Technique for two hours every day, practicing the Vajra Sutra for another two, and dedicating one hour to alchemy.
Besides these, he tried to start enjoying life by brewing Spirit Tea, observing the sky, reading some casual accounts on Immortal Cultivation World, and occasionally flipping through books on Talisman Scrolls and Array Method, etc.
Chen Yi enjoyed observing the sky the most.
He discovered that every living thing in heaven and earth could talk, and the sky itself would emit spiritual light.
Especially when he was practicing the Turtle Breathing Technique, he could vaguely sense the effect of changes in the sky on the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
It was an aura of some sort that was invisibly present.
Chen Yi found that once he understood the idle rule of that aura, adjusting the direction of he Turtle Breath Magical Power during his cultivation, and following the rhythm of the aura of the sky, would unknowingly improve his cultivation state significantly.
Not only was the speed of Mana movement faster, but his understanding of the Turtle Breath Skill and the meaning of its Mana was more profound in that short time.
Moreover, Chen Yi once tried observing the shifting rules of the heaven and earth's aura before casting a spell. By applying a rule in line with this observation when casting a spell, the related mana consumption was significantly reduced, and the spell's power changed magically.
Chen Yi recently attempted to incorporate this method while refining pills.
However, due to needing to focus all his attention on the various magical herbs in his pill furnace during alchemy, he did not have much energy to follow the changes in the celestial atmosphere.
So far, he had yet to see any noticeable progress,
but Chen Yi had a subtle feeling that grasping this fluctuation in the aura of the heavens and earth might be crucial when he needed to pass certain tests or reach specific heights in the future!
....
Another five months passed, leaving only one month left to the three-year appointment of the several cultivators from the 32nd Island.
"Brother Chen,"
Liu Huo arrived at Chen Yi's courtyard with an excited expression on his face.
In these three years, Liu Huo had experienced numerous minor and major battles and had developed connections with many people. He also got married and had a child.
The relatively mature-faced Liu Huo of the past had turned into a vigorous man brimming with stories.
Chen Yi sensed the fluctuation of mana in Liu Huo's body and saw that he had already entered the third layer of Qi Refining for some time,
"Liu Huo, congratulations, you're now a cultivator at the third level of Qi refining and first layer of body refining, quite different from the young fisherman back then," Chen Yi said, smiling and inviting Liu Huo to come in.
"Brother Chen, I'm not as good as you. After three years, you still look the same as you did. It seems this Turtle Breathing Technique of yours truly has some unique skincare properties."
"Come on, Brother Chen, this time we will ride on Mr. Chengyu's flying boat magical instrument to Spirit Cloud Island's market town. It's not too far from us, about 8000 Li, and we'll get there in about ten days by flying boat."
Liu Huo left with Chen Yi, and soon they met with Zhao Chengyu. The three of them embarked on the flying boat and left Zhao Family Island.
Chen Yi had considered this journey.
First, he carefully observed the spiritual light above Liu Huo and Zhao Chengyu's heads.
He noticed that the spiritual light above Zhao Chengyu's head was soft and translucent, saying that his cultivation was progressing smoothly.
Liu Huo's spiritual light, on the other hand, held a small grey spot.
Considering Liu Huo's headstrong personality and his fate of either recovering from injury or getting into fights,
Chen Yi thought it was alright. The risks of coming out were not major.
Compared to the risk, it is very necessary to go out and make some friends, especially with the old villagers from the 32nd island.
Good relationships with other local cultivators, also known as Cultivation Partners, should be maintained. Moreover, Song Chengcheng is a disciple of a great power, the Qinglong Island.
The world of cultivation is ever-changing, and one might become cannon fodder if unpredictable things happen.
Having the disciple of a great power as a friend often means getting information faster.
Moreover, the path to cultivation is all about good relations with Cultivation Partners, which does not only refer to partners in cultivation but also the good friends who can help.
The bond among them, who have known each other even before they started cultivating, is definitely worth nurturing.
...
On the flying boat, Zhao Chengyu was full of enthusiasm, controlling the flying boat while sharing his experience of breaking through to mid-stage Qi Refining with Chen Yi and Liu Huo.
