Cultivating Immortality: Beginning with Blessings from the Immortals

"May I ask my senior brother? He seems very busy," Chen Yi said, somewhat embarrassed.

For some reason, he felt a bit intimidated by this senior brother, especially since the other party seemed extremely busy.

Wu Yifeng stepped forward and put his arm around Chen Yi's shoulder, saying calmly:

"Don't worry, your senior brother will definitely be able to help you."

"Take the golden seal to him and return it to him while you're at it. I'm going to study sword formations now."

After Wu Yifeng finished speaking, he patted him on the shoulder and turned to leave.

Chen Yi looked helpless. Now he could only ask Han Yimiao for the secrets to making the Xuan Guang Geng Jin Formation.

Wu Yifeng had previously told him the location of Han Yimiao's residence. Holding the gold seal and jade token, he walked deeper into the main peak.

After passing through many courtyards and corridors again, we arrived at a bamboo grove.

A winding path emerges from the bamboo forest, with a bamboo courtyard vaguely visible in the center.

Chen Yi strolled forward and slowly began to speak:

"Senior brother, here's your golden seal of restriction back with you."

The once quiet bamboo courtyard was instantly enveloped by a protective array. Chen Yi's arrival automatically triggered the array to protect him.

Chen Yi was secretly alarmed. Judging from the aura of this array barrier, it must be a second-order array.

A moment later, Han Yimiao, dressed in a gray robe, came out.

He nodded slightly when he saw Chen Yi, and with a wave of his hand, he put the golden seal into his storage bag.

Just as he turned to leave, Chen Yi asked:

"Senior brother, I'm working on the Xuan Guang Geng Jin Formation. I've encountered some difficulties, and I wonder if you could offer me some guidance?"

Upon hearing this, Han Yimiao immediately stopped and, after a moment's thought, let Chen Yi come in with him.

Chen Yi followed the other party into the bamboo courtyard and found that the bamboo courtyard was made of polished green spirit stone. Stepping into it, his mind involuntarily calmed down.

The two sat down in the bamboo pavilion, and Chen Yi handed the jade slip containing the instructions for creating the Xuan Guang Geng Jin Array to the other person.

Han Yimiao picked up the jade slip, examined it for a moment, and slowly said:

"A top-tier first-order formation is indeed quite challenging for you."

"However, there are some areas that can be improved. Let me teach you..."

As Wu Yifeng said, Han Yimiao is cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

The two studied the Xuan Guang Geng Jin Formation together for more than seven days before Chen Yi learned about the formation's mysteries, and he developed a greater respect for Han Yimiao.

"If you want to make array plates and array flags, you can use them in the side room next door."

"I'm going on a trip, so you can keep this gold seal for now," Han Yimiao said before getting up and leaving.

Chen Yi carefully put away the golden seal and immediately went to the side room to start making the array plate and array flags.

Before him were many black gold stones, bones and hides of second-tier demonic beasts, and other materials.

Chen Yi took a deep breath and immediately began making the array plates and array flags.

The array plate of the Xuan Guang Geng Jin Array is mainly made of black gold stone, while the array flags are made of the bones and fur of second-tier metal-attribute demon beasts.

Chen Yi set up two arrays in the room to shield himself from external perception and to gather spiritual energy.

After stretching his body, he immediately began making array plates and flags.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

Midway through, Wu Yifeng came to visit Chen Yi and, seeing the array barrier emanating from outside the room, knew that he was in seclusion.

"Xiao Feng, are you saying that Chen has already broken through to the eighth level of Qi Refining?" Master Zhou asked.

Wu Yifeng nodded emphatically, his expression unusually serious as he said:

"Yes, Master."

"Junior brother is truly exceptionally hardworking. He has a mixed three-colored spiritual root and has already reached the eighth level of Qi Refining..."

Master Zhou listened to Wu Yifeng's words, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

Speaking of which, he has been in seclusion studying formations lately, and has been somewhat neglecting his newly accepted disciple.

The two stood outside the room without disturbing Chen Yi.

Master Zhou has just successfully developed a second-order formation, which can withstand the attacks of several late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

He plans to join forces with the other array masters in the sect to improve it so that they might be able to create a third-tier array.

At that moment, Chen Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Before him was a golden array plate the size of a washbasin, and nine black and gold array flags.

He barely rested for ten days and finally finished making the array plate and array flags in one go.

Chen Yi let out a long sigh and swallowed several Bigu Pills and Qi Condensation Pills.

The most crucial moment is yet to come: inscribing the array patterns of the Xuan Guang Geng Jin Array on the array plate. If it fails, the array plate will have to be re-polished.

With the materials Chen Yi had, if they failed three times, they would have to redo the array plate.

After meditating and regulating his breathing for three days, Chen Yi immediately began practicing drawing array patterns.

More than a month passed, and Han Yimiao returned from the outside world. Seeing that Chen Yi was still in seclusion, he did not disturb him rashly.

At that moment, three figures appeared outside Chen Yi's room.

Master Zhou sensed the fluctuations in the room, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, and said:

"Judging from the energy, it should be close to success."

As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from Chen Yi's room, and dazzling golden light burst forth from within.

Inside the room, a golden array plate and nine array flags floated in front of Chen Yi.

A protective array slowly rose up, gradually enveloping the entire room.

With a thought, Chen Yi conjured up bursts of golden light within the formation. The golden light materialized into various weapons, including swords, spears, and halberds.

"Phew," Chen Yi exhaled a breath of stale air.

He felt a splitting headache and quickly put it away by manipulating the Xuan Guang Geng Jin Array.

For some time now, he has been in seclusion creating the Xuan Guang Geng Jin Array. If it weren't for his powerful divine sense and the Azure Spirit Stones here, his divine sense would probably have been damaged.

After putting away the array plates and flags, Chen Yi stretched his body and then pushed open the door to go out.

He had just left the room when he found Master Zhou, Wu Yifeng, and Han Yimiao standing in the courtyard.

"Master, senior brothers, you..." Chen Yi said with a look of surprise.

Master Zhou laughed heartily and stepped forward to put his arm around Chen Yi.

"Good lad, you actually managed to create the Xuan Guang Geng Jin Array!" Master Zhou's face lit up with joy.

The Xuan Guang Geng Jin Formation is a top-tier first-order formation with extremely strong killing power; even ordinary second-order formation masters are not confident in creating it.

Chen Yi is so young and still only a Qi Refining cultivator. If he can break through to the Foundation Establishment stage and then study formations, his future will be limitless.

"Master, this is all thanks to the help of my two senior brothers," Chen Yi said with an embarrassed smile.

Master Zhou laughed heartily, then looked ashamed and said:

"Speaking of which, I haven't been able to give you any guidance. Now that I'm out of seclusion, let's have a proper get-together, master and disciple."

After speaking, Master Zhou led Chen Yi and the other two outside.

As the group approached a residence, Master Zhou's Daoist companion and several attendants immediately came to greet them.

It was a rare occasion for the master and his disciples to gather together, so Master Zhou specially instructed his servants to prepare more delicacies.

Master Zhou looked at Chen Yi and couldn't help but sigh:

"Young Chen, I was right about you. I never expected you could save Elder Qingyue's personal disciple and create your own Xuan Guang Geng Jin Array."

"When I was your age, I was far less capable than you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi immediately praised his master for his excellent teaching. Master Zhou sighed inwardly and patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction.

"Speaking of which, I'm just like you; I also have a mixed three-colored spiritual root."
