The world of cultivating immortals struggles to develop, and the world of martial arts strikes hard

Chapter 114 The five-year agreement has arrived
Half a year later, in a courtyard of Yuehu Villa,
Chen Yi opened his eyes, let out a long breath of foul air,
"The mana on the second floor of Qi Refining is almost complete."

"Although the speed of the practice of the Turtle Breath Jue is slow, it has been making steady progress, and I didn't feel that there was a big bottleneck ahead like others.
As long as I continue to practice in peace and stability, I will be fine.

However, I have to properly demonstrate my value first."

In a courtyard full of medicinal fragrance somewhere on the island,

Two tall and graceful beauties are drinking tea,

"Chengying, you're 21 this year? You're also on the third level of Qi Refining, and you haven't stopped for two years, right?"

"Yes, sister Cheng Jing, why are you talking about this?"

A girl in a yellow skirt asked, her voice was sweet, her face was exquisite, and her two peach blossom eyes were very charming.

"Chengying, with your aptitude, even if your family provides you with the Broken Rank Pill, you may barely reach the seventh level of Qi Refining at most.

Have you considered starting a family? Zhao Chengjing took a sip of tea and asked with a smile.

Although it is said to be a question, but as Miss Zhao Chengjing, plus her cultivation of the sixth level of Qi refining in her early twenties, she seems to be one of the chief executives of the next generation of the Zhao family.
The average junior dare not refute her opinion.

Hearing this, the face of the girl in yellow skirt Zhao Chengying changed, thinking that she would not be able to escape after all, the fate of recruiting people for the family,
She asked cautiously, "Sister, who is the other party?"

If it was a young man with a good image, young strength, and a future, she would accept her fate. Who made him unlike Zhao Chengjing who had excellent aptitude for cultivating immortals?

The weak cannot help themselves.

"Chen Yi, have you heard of it?"

Zhao Chengjing is satisfied with her sister's career.

Hearing this, Zhao Chengying's complexion changed: "That turtle pharmacist?! He is only a four-spiritual root, and it took three years to refine Qi to the second level. He is not as good as me! I don't want to!"

"Sister, Chen Yi's cultivation of the tortoise technique is already very slow, and his talent is not good, so he will not be as good as me in the future.
Coupled with his character and magic power, when he is really in danger, do you want me to protect him?
Change someone, sister, Chen Yi is really not good enough for me! "

"Hey, you are short-sighted. I have observed Chen Yi. He has a steady personality. His reluctance to take risks is a symbol of longevity. In addition, he has a talent for medicine.
In the world of cultivating immortals, it is more or less a craft. After you get married, you can safely open a medical clinic on Zhaojia Island. It is not a problem to live happily ever after.
How can there be so many fights and kills in the world of cultivating immortals? "

Zhao Chengjing persuaded.

But Zhao Chengying still shook her head. A small medicine system is nothing more than herbal medicine. It is not a high-level craft. The man in her mind is the kind who can drive the colorful auspicious clouds when she is in danger. Rescued from danger, this kind of ordinary Qi refining second floor is not acceptable.

"Report! Miss, the latest news from the trade fair!"

At this moment, a servant hurriedly knocked on the door.

After Zhao Chengjing asked people to come in, her expression changed when she saw the content of the message on the note.
"What, he actually made a bad pill? Where is the pill?"

"Miss Hui, this healing pill was sold by Chen Yi. I bought it on my own initiative. Please have a look."

After Zhao Chengjing took the porcelain bottle, she poured the small black pill into the palm of her hand and stared at it:

"The fragrance of the medicine is positive, the grains of the pill are deep, and there are not many impurities. It's just that the technique of forming the pill was a bit poor, and the repulsion between the Huilonghua liquid and the core of the God of Chives was not taken into account.
As a result, the pill pattern is only half, and the efficacy of the medicine is halved. "

"But even so, it's not easy. With the strength of mana and spiritual knowledge, as well as the improvement of proficiency, this last technique will be learned soon.

So, Chen Yi will soon become an official first-rank low-grade alchemist? ! "

Zhao Chengjing's eyes revealed shock,

She herself is a mid-tier first-rank alchemist. She has shown her talent for alchemy since she was a child. She has been trained by her family for more than ten years with a lot of money.

But Chen Yi, without any support, only relying on his own practice, was able to touch such a state in just two or three years!
"My son, we must find a way to stay in the clan!"

Zhao Chengjing looked back at her sister: "He is not far away from becoming a first-rank alchemist, do you want to give up this opportunity now?

Chengying, you are my cousin and I only think about you. If you give up, there will be other women in the clan who are very willing to become alchemist's Taoist partner! "

"I, I, then I am willing to try~"

The girl in the yellow skirt's voice became quieter, she was a little embarrassed, just now she was picky about Chen Yi's low cultivation level,
As a result, now that he heard that he was about to become a Tier [-] alchemist, he immediately changed his mind, becoming a bit of a philistine.

But, isn't that what it's like to start a family? Conditions are very important.

The next day.

Liu Huo invited Chen Yi as a guest, and said that he would introduce some family friends to him.
Chen Yi didn't doubt that he was there, so he went happily.

At Liu Huo's home, Liu Huo's daughter-in-law prepared some side dishes,
On the table, Liu Huo, Chen Yi, and a man and two women were all disciples of the Zhao family who were cultivating immortals, and they all looked like they were on the third or fourth level of qi refining.

Chen Yi sat between a man and a woman. The man on the left was Zhao Chengde, a first-rank low-grade talisman master.
On the right is a well-dressed girl in a yellow dress, named Zhao Chengying, a monk at the third level of Qi Refining.

During the dinner, Liu Huo teased Chen Yi and the girl in the yellow skirt many times, saying that they are both talented and beautiful, that they met by chance, etc.
Rarely, the girl didn't feel disgusted. Instead, she lowered her head shyly when she was teased, but secretly glanced at Chen Yi,

Chen Yi quickly understood in his heart that this was a blind date,

So, from now on, he was holding on to Zhao Chengde next to him to ask for advice on drawing talismans.
From the principle of drawing talismans, the grasp of aura, the emphasis on talisman paper, talisman pen, and spiritual liquid, as well as the key points and technical difficulties of several basic talismans, etc.,
Zhao Chengde didn't want to talk too much with Chen Yi at first, he knew that he was here to accompany the guests today, and the real protagonists were the other two,

But, he is a purely technical nerd, and Chen Yi is really interested in making talismans.

And after chatting for a few words, he found that Chen Yi was a very smart person,
Chen Yi obviously doesn't understand a lot of technical things, but he understands everything, and can even draw inferences from one instance,

The two chatted together immediately, and both felt that they had found a confidant!

During the period, Zhao Chengying helped Chen Yi pour spirit tea twice, Chen Yi just smiled and thanked, and then turned to discuss with Zhao Chengde,

Another time, Zhao Chengying gritted her teeth and joined the discussion group of the two,
As a result, Chen Yi asked three technical questions about drawing symbols in a row, and he was completely stunned.

"Oh, fellow daoist Chengying, I'm afraid that talismans are not suitable for you. If you really want to study talismans, you may have to go back and read the basic books."

"Yes, yes, Daoyou Chen is right, sister Chengying, you don't know how to draw talismans, so stop messing around!"

So far, Zhao Chengying gave up completely, and was sulking in the second half.

Finally, after Xi San, Chen Yi and Zhao Chengde exchanged contact information, and made an appointment to wait for Chen Yi to learn how to draw talismans, and then the two would ask for advice on how to draw specific function talismans and high-quality talismans.

Before leaving, Zhao Chengde did not forget to pat Chen Yi on the shoulder:

"Brother Chen, your practice of the Tortoise's Breathing Art is really useless. In terms of drawing symbols, your talent is better than mine. What a pity!"

Chen Yi laughed, said goodbye to everyone, and left freely.

After the people left, Zhao Chengying went back and smashed the table:

"Ahhh!"

"Smelly straight man! I'm so mad at this girl!"

"Ghost knows the different requirements for spiritual power between Langhao Talisman Pen and Rabbit Hao Talisman Pen?!"

"A big beautiful woman is waiting for you to drink water by your side, you don't even look at it, you know the symbols, the symbols, the symbols!"

"You deserve to be single forever!!!"

"."

"Sister Cheng Jing, it's not that I don't want to get in touch with Chen Yi, it's that this man doesn't have women in his eyes, he's just like Brother Chengde, he's an elm lump with only technology in his mind!!"

After Zhao Chengying heard her sister complaining to herself, she frowned a little: "It shouldn't be, judging from my two brief contacts with Chen Yi and what Chengyu and the others usually said,
Chen Yi is a very insightful person who has experienced the world. How could he not be able to see the thoughts of a little girl?

Unless, he is unwilling to become a Taoist partner with the daughter of the Zhao family?

A few months later, Chen Yi practiced normally,
Step into the third level of Qi refining smoothly, the last meridian in the early stage of Qi refining is opened,

The amount of his current mana is about [-]% higher than when he first entered the early stage of Qi refining, and the quality has also improved slightly.

Chen Yi can also use some basic spells very skillfully.

It is especially worth mentioning that after Chen Yi and Zhao Chengde chatted that day, he really bought a set of equipment for drawing basic talismans.
In half a year, he has been able to draw seven or eight basic talismans such as cleaning talismans and mute talismans.
Although he has not yet entered the stage, but this speed of progress is indeed like what Zhao Chengde said, it can be said that he is a genius in the talisman.

Regarding the ability to draw talismans, Chen Yi is not allowed to reveal it anymore. Being an alchemy master and a talisman master at the same time is a bit too high-profile during the Qi refining period.
These two skills are relatively time-consuming, energy-intensive and mana to cultivate. There is not much time in the Qi refining period. If you can only cultivate one and succeed, it means you have good talent.

Chen Yi should keep a low profile and only show part of the skills of the alchemist to the outside world.
As for the talismans, he decided to do his own research, especially combining the characteristics of his own magic power to draw some talismans with special functions.

Keep it on your body so that it can be used as a hole card when there is danger.

On the other hand, Chen Yi has also made considerable progress in alchemy. Chen Yi has already been able to refine one of the three first-tier middle-grade pills.
Or a healing potion,
He discovered that his tortoise-breathing mana has a unique effect in healing. Even when refining alchemy, he learned and comprehended it very quickly when refining the first-level middle-grade healing pill.

Although the success rate of refining the first-order middle-grade healing pill is only 4%,
But he can be regarded as a real first-tier middle-grade alchemist, and he is barely equal to Miss Zhao's family in terms of level.
Of course, in the real situation, he is definitely not as good as Miss Zhao's. The other party has many years of alchemy experience, and her family provides her with alchemy formulas and countless medicinal materials.
The types of pills that Zhao Chengying can refine must be far more than Chen Yi,
What Chen Yi can take out are the healing pills and several other pills related to the mana characteristics of the turtle's breath.

And this should be enough.

The Zhao family may not be that interested in having another alchemist, Zhao Chengying,
But there should be a lot of interest in having one more first-level alchemist who can refine a small type of special elixir.

The five-year agreement is coming soon, and Chen Yi is going to use a little sincerity as a bargaining chip with the Zhao family.

A year later, Chen Yi came to Zhao's house for five years.

Now his cultivation has progressed by about half in the third level of Qi Refining,
At this time, Zhao Chengyu was already a little master at the fifth level of Qi Refining,
Even Liu Huo made a contribution to snatching back a red-blooded demon carp on Lingyu Island with all his efforts,
A Yuansheng Pill, which was rewarded by the family, was successfully promoted from the third level of Qi Refining to the fourth level of Qi Refining.

It's just that the Yao carp was taken away by the family, and Liu Huo couldn't keep the Yao carp by himself, so he couldn't help Chen Yi help refine the elixir that broke through the second level of body refining.

He told Chen Yi about this, and said that the next time he caught the red blood demon carp, he would give it to Chen Yi to help him refine the medicine for breakthrough body cultivation.
Chen Yi smiled, noncommittal, he is now a tortoise cultivator, and he is not in a hurry for a short-term gain in everything.
Let time go slowly and watch again slowly.

In fact, with Chen Yi's current strength in alchemy, he should be able to refine the first-order middle-grade Shengyuan pill.

But firstly, he didn't have the materials, secondly, he didn't need this kind of broken-rank pill, and thirdly, he didn't want to expose his alchemy ability to the family, so he didn't say anything.

Now the five-year period has come,

One day, the eldest lady's maid came to invite Chen Yi, saying that Da Chen Yi wanted to talk to him.

Chen Yi knew whether to go or stay today, he packed all his belongings and put them in the storage bag,
Following the maid came to the courtyard where the young lady lived alone,
The girls in the courtyard are red, most of which are the fragrance of elixir.

When Chen Yi saw the eldest lady again, he saluted.

"Chen Daoyou, please sit down."

Five years later, the eldest lady still looks youthful and beautiful, wearing a long dress that is elegant and pure, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and her voice is as clear as flowing water that enters her soul.

"Chen Daoyou, I'm going straight to the point. This is a contract from the family to you as a guest, please take a look first."

This time, the eldest lady persuaded the senior management of the family to open a back door for Chen Yi and gave a special contract.
Take it out at this time, very confident,

Since you don't marry a woman in your family, but if you want to achieve something in the way of alchemy, you always need Lingshi, right?

Chen Yi took a look with his hands, and the clauses showed that he really attached great importance to it.

If he was just an ordinary alchemy apprentice, maybe he would really be moved.

The terms are roughly as follows: the Zhao family will produce spirit stones and medicinal materials to train Chen Yi in alchemy. Once Chen Yi becomes an official alchemist, he will enjoy the family's worship treatment,

With a salary of 300 spirit stones per year, you can enjoy the cultivation of the first-level top spirit veins, and you only need to make alchemy for the family to work.

If Chen Yi can become a first-tier middle-rank alchemist, or even a first-tier top-rank alchemist, then the salary will increase further,
Of course, there is a condition that Chen Yi needs to stay in the Zhao family to refine the alchemy for 100 years. Without the permission of the Zhao family, Chen Yi cannot leave the Zhao family.

In fact, this is already a perfect job for an ordinary monk with four spiritual roots.

A monk with four spirit roots, normally speaking, it is difficult to reach the late stage of Qi refining in this life, and the life span is at most more than 100 years.
Chen Yi practiced the Turtle's Breath Jue, and his lifespan was longer, but his cultivation was limited, so he couldn't grow too much.

The Zhao family offered such a price, which shows sincerity.

It's just that Chen Yi has the ability to cross two worlds, and he is practicing the turtle's breath formula with Dao rhyme. His future is not limited by his spiritual root talent at all.
So whether it included arranging for a Taoist couple to get married, or giving Chen Yitie a job so that he could work easily for the rest of his life, Chen Yi couldn't agree.

After thinking about it, Chen Yi didn't plan to make any more detours.
"Since the eldest lady is so clean and quick, Chen will no longer hide it, and just speak straight."

Zhao Chengjing Oh?With a sound, the sitting posture became more serious: "You speak."

"Chen happened to refine a first-level low-grade healing pill some time ago, please take a look first, Miss."

While talking, Chen Yi handed over a porcelain bottle and gently placed it on the stone table.

The eldest lady picked up the porcelain bottle and opened it, and poured the small black pill inside into the palm of her hand. At first glance, her face changed slightly:

"It's actually a complete pill pattern, and it has really reached the quality of the first-order low-rank! Is this what you refined?"

Chen Yi nodded.

The eldest lady looked a lot more formal, and punched Chen Yi:
"Congratulations to Alchemist Chen, I didn't expect Alchemist Chen to become an official alchemist, otherwise I should have invited you in person, please forgive me for being rude before!"

Chen Yi waved his hand, indicating nothing.

"Pill Master Chen, look at it this way, the other conditions in the contract remain the same, and the annual spirit stone offering will be increased by [-]%, how about it?"

Zhao Chengjing did not expect Chen Yi to become an official alchemist in such a short period of time, and she seemed to be self-taught. She raised Chen Yi's alchemy talent again,
So the price was increased on the spot.

But Chen Yi still shook his head:

"Miss, you might as well experience this healing pill more."

"Oh?" Zhao Chengjing looked down at the elixir again, her black hair drooped and swayed in the wind, emitting a faint fragrance.

The eldest lady was looking at Dan, and Chen Yi was looking at people, and they both felt that the present moment was very beautiful.

After a while, after Zhao Chengjing tested the healing pill with her own technique, she exclaimed:
"Your pill formula, have you changed it? The efficacy of this healing pill is probably about to catch up with the first-order middle-grade pill, right?

Is this a boutique healing pill?
You have only studied alchemy for a few years, and you can refine high-quality alchemy? ! "

"This is a method for improving the quality of healing pills that Chen read in an ancient book when he was in the mortal world. Now it's just a trial, but I didn't expect it to be effective.

However, it seems that Chen is not very talented in refining other pills, only this healing pill, Chen Yi made some progress,
So Missy shouldn't be too surprised that Chen's alchemy talent is just a coincidence. "

Hearing this, Zhao Chengjing let out a sigh of relief, Chen Yi's explanation is reasonable, otherwise, Chen Yi would be an evil genius in alchemy,
In that case, not to mention that Zhao Chengjing is far inferior to Chen Yi, even the entire Zhao family can't hold him.

Now it is only acceptable if the Healing Pill has a unique secret book.

Medicinal pills such as Healing Pills are generally used as strategic reserve pills, and they are rarely used on weekdays, but once the family is involved in a war, they must be taken out.

It is necessary to have, but too much is useless.

So the family does not have much prepared.

If Chen Yi could only refine healing pills, then his value would be greatly weakened. At least in Zhao Chengjing's heart, he was not worth the annual salary of 300 spirit stones.

However, Chen Yi did not embarrass Zhao Chengjing, and directly put forward his appeal:
"Miss, Chen has a suggestion, what do you think?"

"Please tell me." Zhao Chengjing now completely treats Chen Yi as an equal, even though her cultivation base is much higher and her alchemy level is also higher,
But Chen Yi is young and talented, and he can refine high-quality healing pills now, so he may not be able to enter the ranks of first-level middle-grade alchemists in the future.
In the Zhao family, such talents need to be paid attention to.

"In the future, Chen Yi will rent a courtyard on the Zhao family's spiritual veins to live, refine 100 pieces of high-quality healing pills every year, and sell them to the Zhao family or Zhao family's children at a [-]% discount on the market price.

As for other matters, the Zhao family did not interfere with Chen, and Chen also promised not to add trouble to the Zhao family.

This is an oral agreement. Once the Zhao family or Chen feel that it is inappropriate on a certain day, they can unilaterally terminate the agreement at any time.

what do you think? "
