Immortality begins with raising apprentices

Chapter 34 Cultivation!

The man in the tight-fitting clothes was named Tian Feng, a rogue cultivator from Shijing Town.

Ten years ago, the Lingyin Sect established Shijing Town deeper in the Three Thousand Mountains.

At first, Shijing Town was thriving, and it seemed to be the next Yunxifang.

But eight years ago, for some unknown reason, monsters went on a rampage and destroyed Stone Mirror Town.

This caused the scattered cultivators of Shijing Town to gather in Yunxifang.

Inside the private room of the restaurant,
Tian Feng and Chen Ye clinked glasses, their eyes reddening.

"Alas, it's a long story... During that riot, my Daoist partner perished in the jaws of a demonic beast, and my child was so terrified that he lost his mind. My child, however, possessed three spiritual roots!"

Chen Ye paused slightly.

With three spiritual roots, his talent is quite remarkable, and he has the potential to reach the Foundation Establishment stage.

Ye Laotou's daughter from Bencaotang is a disciple with three spiritual roots and is now an outer disciple of Lingyin Sect.

Chen Ye comforted him, saying, "Fellow Daoist Tian, ​​please accept my condolences. There are countless talented and extraordinary people in the world; surely someone can cure your child..."

"It's incurable! I've spent all my money and sought help everywhere. But they all say that a demonic worm has entered the child's head, and killing the worm will kill the child too. So it's better not to treat it; it's better to live a miserable life than to die!"

Tian Feng tilted his head back and drank the sake in his cup in one gulp, his knuckles turning white from gripping it so tightly.

He sighed with relief and looked at the red orchid on the table.

Just now.

Chen Ye had already performed a simple treatment on the Red Marrow Orchid in front of him.

Of course, curing a dignified mid-grade first-tier Crimson Marrow Orchid is not so simple.

With just a few moves from Chen Ye, Chi Suilan's complexion visibly improved.

Tian Feng was initially skeptical, but after witnessing Chen Ye's skillful use of spiritual plant techniques, he couldn't help but admire him.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, to be honest, my ancestors were also plant masters, so they have some discernment. Your plant cultivation skills are probably no less than those of an ordinary plant master!"

Chen Ye pondered for a moment and said, "Since that's the case, then what about our cooperation?"

but.

Chen Ye never expected that Tian Feng's ancestors were plant masters.

Upon closer reflection, Tian Feng likely possesses some knowledge of methods for cultivating spiritual plants.

No wonder the person in charge behind him specifically entrusted him with the task of selling the elixir.

"This...this still needs to be discussed with the brothers when we get back. Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Chen, with your skills, the brothers will definitely agree!"

Tian Feng looked excited and made a confident statement.

After saying that, he also gave Chen Ye two spirit stones as payment for the treatment of Chi Suilan.

Chen Ye did not refuse and readily accepted the spirit stones.

At first, he was worried that Tian Feng was just trying to trick him into treating the Crimson Marrow Orchid, but after accepting the spirit stones, he felt reassured.

Tian Feng genuinely wanted to cooperate with him.

As Chen Ye suspected, Tian Feng must have some powerful force behind him to possess so many spiritual herbs.

Could it be...

Is it the Stone Mirror Society?

He remembered that the Jade Lizard Society and the Stone Mirror Society had fought many times in the East Gully.

It affected a large number of medicinal herbs.

And this perfectly corresponds to the medicine Tian Feng has in his hand.

……

The banquet ended.

Chen Ye took Tian Feng back to Bishui Street.

He did not deliberately conceal his address—which is practically impossible to hide from someone with ulterior motives.

"Alright, I'll visit Fellow Daoist Chen another day... Fellow Daoist Chen, what brings you here?"

After Tian Feng wrote down the address,
Turning his head, he saw Chen Ye rinsing his mouth repeatedly, looking astonished.

Chen Ye chuckled awkwardly, "I have two apprentices at home who can't stand the smell of alcohol."

Listen carefully.

You can hear two little girls talking quietly in the yard.

The man laughed loudly upon hearing this: "I never expected Fellow Daoist Chen to be such a tender-hearted person!"

Considering that Chen Ye lived on Bishui Street, possessed skilled plant magic, and also had two children, she decided to take care of him.

It seems unlikely that they would risk their lives for a medicinal herb that is about to die.

Tian Feng pushed the Crimson Marrow Orchid to Chen Ye: "These days, I'll ask Fellow Daoist Chen to treat the Crimson Marrow Orchid. I'll bring it back in five days, so that you brothers can rest assured."

Chen Ye readily agreed.

Then, strands of green light emanated from Tian Feng's palm, brushing against the Crimson Marrow Orchid.

Tian Feng looked proud, with a hint of boastfulness:

"This is my family's inherited spiritual plant technique: the Spring Nourishing Hand, which can protect the vital energy of spiritual plants. That's why my brothers allowed me to sell spiritual herbs." "It's said that at a high level of mastery, the Spring Nourishing Hand can even help spiritual plants break through their grade! Unfortunately, my knowledge is limited..."

It can even help spiritual plants break through their grade!
Chen Ye's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this: "Such a spiritual plant technique actually exists in the world?"

Tian Feng shook his head and chuckled:

“The Spring Nourishing Hand is difficult and profound to master. Even if you reach the highest level, it is only enough to help a spiritual plant that is just one step away from breaking through to a higher rank.”

Say it.

Tian Feng didn't linger and left directly.

Chen Ye stood still, and only when he could no longer see Tian Feng's back did he push the door open and enter.

In the yard.

The two girls were huffing and puffing as they swept the snow.

"Master!"

"Master."

The black and white dumpling immediately stopped what it was doing and called out in a crisp voice.

They seemed to be in a good mood.

Chen Ye was also in a good mood.

Compared to a deserted, empty house.

When you push open the door, you can see two cute little girls calling out "Master" in their sweet voices.

The experience is naturally different.

Chen Ye nodded with a smile: "How's the new house? Are you satisfied?"

Qingjun's eyes crinkled with happiness: "Yes! It's so much prettier than our old home!"

Zhiwei, however, seemed a little hesitant, her fingers clutching the hem of her clothes, lost in thought.

Chen Ye glanced at the older girl but didn't linger.

He nodded and went inside.

He casually cast a spell of Cloud and Rain, which permeated the Crimson Marrow Orchid.

The perfected Cloud and Rain Technique only needs to narrow its coverage area to soak the Crimson Marrow Orchid for three hours.

After dealing with the Crimson Marrow Orchid.

Chen Ye couldn't wait to try out the spiritual energy of the market.

Yunxifang is built on a first-order spiritual vein.

Although the Class C courtyards did not have spirit-gathering arrays, the concentration of spiritual energy in the air was still much higher than that in the shantytowns.

"What a miserable life we ​​lived before..."

Chen Ye sensed the concentration of spiritual energy in the air and his face lit up with joy.

He estimated that it would take him five years to break through to the fifth level of Qi Refining while cultivating in the shantytown.

But in Fangshi, it only takes two and a half years!
And this doesn't even include the bonuses from the Qi Nourishing Pill and the breakthrough in the Evergreen Technique!
Besides that, what surprised Chen Ye the most was:
The passive proficiency gained from the Evergreen Skill has increased from ten to fifteen.

It doesn't look like much.
Passive proficiency can be gained passively, and the difference over time is enormous!

"No wonder so many people are scrambling to get into the market," Chen Ye exclaimed in amazement.

Now, let's see how effective the Qi-Nourishing Pill is...

Each of these pills is worth a spirit stone!
With a heavy heart, Chen Ye rolled a round Qi-Nourishing Pill into his palm.

After rubbing off the wax coating, it emits a delicate fragrance.

It smells like spirit stones...

Chen Ye closed his eyes, tilted his head back, and swallowed it.

The elixir melted upon entering the mouth, like streams of heat that merged into spiritual energy.

He immediately entered a state of complete absorption, focusing intently on his cultivation.

Until the sun set and it grew dark.

He suddenly opened his eyes, and the first thing he did was to open the panel:

[Evergreen Mastery: 130/200]

In just one afternoon, my proficiency level increased by thirty!
After swallowing three more Qi-Nourishing Pills, the Evergreen Technique can be broken through to perfection!
Meanwhile, one Qi-Nourishing Pill is roughly equivalent to five days of cultivation.

"If you take one pill a day... six months is enough to break through to the fifth level of Qi Refining! And this is just a low-grade Qi Nourishing Pill!"

Chen Ye once again felt the allure of the spirit stone.

"Master..."

Chen Ye raised his eyes,

Two little bundles of fur were hugging the blanket, looking at him timidly.
