Cultivating Immortality: Beginning with Blessings from the Immortals

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, while Ruan Yiqiu was concerned about his injuries.

"Senior Sister Ruan, to be honest..."

"My physical injuries are fine, but my spiritual consciousness is severely damaged, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover in the short term..." Chen Yi said with a bitter smile.

Ruan Yiqiu frowned slightly upon hearing this, as damage to one's spiritual consciousness is the most troublesome thing.

The divine consciousness is related to the mind and the elixir in the Purple Mansion. If it is seriously damaged by carelessness, it will at least affect the foundation, and at worst, it will lead to death and the dissipation of one's cultivation.

She reached out and placed her hand on Chen Yi's chest, carefully sensing the condition inside his body.

Chen Yi did not stop her, and Ruan Yiqiu's slender hand gently pressed against his chest.

In an instant, her jade-like hand emitted a soft glow.

Chen Yi felt a strange energy sweep over his body, which relieved his throbbing headache.

Ruan Yiqiu slowly opened her eyes and pondered:

"Fortunately, the foundation hasn't been damaged yet, but a complete recovery will probably be difficult."

"If it doesn't completely improve, I'm afraid..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi immediately realized that although his divine sense had been overused this time and his foundation had not been damaged, it would be extremely difficult for him to recover.

In a single day, he manipulated formations and swarms of insects multiple times, and even used talismans and magical artifacts beyond his level.

If it were an ordinary cultivator, even if they didn't die, they would become mentally impaired. Chen Yi's divine sense was stronger than that of ordinary cultivators, otherwise he would have died long ago.

Of course, he also benefited from the blessings of the immortals, who protected Chen Yi at the crucial moment.

Chen Yi sighed inwardly; he had almost died this time. If it weren't for his Nine Cold Shadow Needles, he would probably have been killed by Zhao Deyan.

Seeing Chen Yi's expression, Ruan Yiqiu assumed he was worried about a backlash from his divine sense and comforted him:

"Junior Brother Chen, you don't need to worry."

"Although the backlash of divine consciousness is difficult to treat, there must be a solution. I'll ask around when we return to the sect."

Chen Yi smiled calmly and nodded slightly in response:

"Thank you so much, Senior Sister. You saved me this time."

Ruan Yiqiu told him not to worry, and the two chatted and cooked together. Foundation Establishment cultivators had already abstained from grains and did not need to eat, but Chen Yi did not simply cook.

He believes that dietary supplements are better than medicinal supplements and there is no need to worry about drug resistance. Chen Yi plans to use the flesh and blood of rare demon beasts, medicinal herbs and spiritual plants, plus a little thousand-year-old spiritual milk to make meat porridge.

Wu Tingting and Lianzhu are still resting.

Lianzhu's injuries also required recuperation. She had fought a fierce battle with Chen Yi and had also held back Zhao Deyan and the others. If Chen Yi hadn't given her the millennium-old spiritual milk and spiritual plants, she probably wouldn't have been able to hold on.

Before long, a fragrant aroma wafted from the iron pot.

Wu Tingting and Lianzhu, who were resting, woke up almost simultaneously after smelling the fragrance.

Chen Yi scooped up a spoonful of meat porridge and put it in his mouth to taste it, and a burst of fresh and fragrant flavors exploded in his mouth.

"Hmm, not bad, the taste is just right."

Ruan Yiqiu, who had long been abstaining from grains, couldn't help but come closer when she smelled the fragrance, and Wu Tingting and Lianzhu also came over.

"Brother Chen, are you cooking?" Wu Tingting's nose twitched slightly.

Lianzhu, who was standing next to her, also curiously stepped forward to look at her. She had always lived in the sea and had never tasted human food before.

Upon seeing the people around him, Chen Yi immediately took out bowls and chopsticks and served each of them a bowl.

Wu Tingting took the first bite, and after savoring it carefully, her eyes lit up. Ignoring the temperature of the porridge, she finished it in a few mouthfuls.

Seeing this, Ruan Yiqiu and Lianzhu also sampled the meat porridge. After taking a sip, they couldn't help but praise its deliciousness.

At that moment, a phantom golden character floated in front of Chen Yi.

[The Kitchen God bestows blessings, pending activation]

[Blessing Offerings: 300 low-grade spirit stones, 20 catties of spirit rice, 50 catties of first-tier demon beast flesh and blood, and one each of the five elemental spirit plants that are fifty years old]

Chen Yi's heart skipped a beat; he naturally recognized the Kitchen God.

The Kitchen God is the deity who oversees the kitchen and stove of every household, and he is a common and widely worshipped deity among the people.

But he didn't know what the effect of activating the Kitchen God's blessing would be. Could it make his cooking more delicious?

After thinking for a moment, Chen Yi decided to try it out when he returned home. The blessings from the immortals were very effective, and the blessings from the Kitchen God wouldn't be useless either.

After everyone finished the large pot of meat porridge, they began to meditate and regulate their breathing.

Since Ruan Yiqiu was not injured before, she naturally took the lead in protecting everyone.

Chen Yi did not meditate or regulate his breathing; instead, he lay down and closed his eyes to rest. The injury from the backlash of his spiritual consciousness was difficult to heal, so he naturally could not expend his mental energy on it.

Before long, he fell asleep.

He slept for an unknown amount of time, and when he opened his eyes, the dazzling sunlight shone on him.

Chen Yi stood up gracefully and stretched his body.

He turned his head and realized that only Wu Tingting was guarding him; they were still in the dense forest.

"Tingting, how long have I been asleep?" Chen Yi asked.

Seeing the joy on Chen Yisu's face after he woke up, Wu Tingting stepped forward and responded:

"Brother Chen, you've slept for a whole day and night."

"How are you feeling? Have you recovered a lot?"

Chen Yi smiled and nodded, indicating that he had recovered considerably. After two days of rest, his fractures and internal injuries had healed significantly, but the damage to his consciousness and brain had not improved for long.

Chen Yi asked Lian Zhu and Ruan Yi Qiu where they were, and Wu Ting Ting said they were patrolling the area.

They are currently on a small island in the East China Sea island group, and they have been lying in wait there to avoid attracting the attention of their enemies.

Recalling his encounters with Zhao Deyan and the Lianzhuhai Yaksha, Chen Yi realized that these events were deliberately orchestrated by the other party. They had used Wu Tingting and Wu Qingshan to lure him out.

Otherwise, given their cultivation levels, how could they have escaped from the sea demon?

It must have been Zhao Deyan and his men who secretly took action and eliminated all the pursuing sea monsters.

"But can Zhao Deyan really do something like this?" Chen Yi wondered to himself.

Having revealed their identities during the family ancestral rites, how could the Zhao and Chen families dare to plot against him in secret? Chen Yi knew that there were probably others who wanted to kill him, and wanted him to die quietly.

After all, the disappearance of a direct disciple of a Tianling Sect array master would certainly attract Master Zhou's investigation.

Before long, Lianzhu and Ruan Yiqiu returned to their original spot.

When Ruan Yiqiu saw Chen Yisu wake up, she immediately showed concern.

"Senior Sister Ruan, I'm fine. Let's leave this place first," Chen Yi said.

Ruan Yiqiu nodded slightly upon hearing this, but Lianzhu interrupted her, saying:

"Hey, can you let me go now?"

Chen Yi was taken aback upon hearing this, but then realized that he had promised to release Lianzhu once his side was safe, but several days had passed.

Fortunately, no time was agreed upon when they swore the oath, otherwise they would have broken their vow.

"Lianzhu, why don't you come with us for a while?"

"Your injuries have not yet healed. If you encounter human cultivators or your previous enemies, you may not be able to escape," Chen Yi said with a serious expression.

After much deliberation, Lianzhu agreed after seeing Chen Yi's sincere gaze.

Seeing this, Ruan Yiqiu took the initiative to steer the magic boat, carrying the group away from the island and heading straight towards the coast.

Chen Yi took Zhao Deyan's storage bag, removed the restrictions on it, and began to examine it.
