Cultivating Immortality: Beginning with Blessings from the Immortals

A strange look flashed in Wei Xueqing's eyes, then she assured her that she could take good care of herself.

Chen Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and was about to turn and head to the backyard when Wei Xueqing called out to him:

"Brother Chen, are you looking for my brother?"

"Is he in danger? He's never been away for this long before."

Chen Yi turned around, wanting to find an excuse to brush it off, but after seeing Wei Xueqing's eyes, he could only nod slightly.

Wei Xueqing's eyes were slightly moist as she spoke:

"Brother Chen, my brother did all this for me. Now that things have come to this, I don't want you to be in danger too."

Seeing Wei Xueqing's tear-streaked face, Chen Yi couldn't help but sigh inwardly and said:

"Don't worry, I'm just going to look for Brother Wei. If I encounter any danger, I'll run away immediately."

Seeing Chen Yi's serious expression, Wei Xueqing had no choice but to thank him repeatedly.

Chen Yi nodded slightly and turned to head to the backyard. He was not a heartless person; even if it meant putting himself in danger, he would still search for Wei Wufeng's whereabouts.

He pushed open the backyard gate and took out the insect-raising bag.

As Chen Yi used his insect control technique, one after another Azure Spirit Devouring Insects flew into the insect-raising bag.

This is also one of Chen Yi's trump cards; it will surely deal a heavy blow to the enemy if they are caught off guard.

Chen Yi rested and recuperated, planning to set off for the outskirts of Wanling Mountain tomorrow.

The next day, early in the morning.

A thin mist enveloped the entire market.

A figure emerged from the courtyard, dressed in a dark green robe, and headed straight for the outer perimeter of Wanling Mountain.

Chen Yi took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself down.

Memories of the original owner flashed through his mind. The original owner had traveled to the outer perimeter of Wanling Mountain several times with his parents. In the original owner's memory, Wanling Mountain covered an extremely wide area, and even the outer perimeter would take ordinary cultivators many days to traverse.

Chen Yi took out a map, on which the area of ​​the Golden Light Master's cave dwelling was already marked.

This area is very large, and it will take a lot of time to find the exact location of the Golden Light Master's cave.

"No wonder Brother Wei said it would take a month; it's like finding a needle in a haystack," Chen Yi thought to himself.

He headed north, passing through the central avenue, the market, and the residential area, until he arrived at the north gate of the market.

The area north of the market is the outer region of Wanling Mountain, where many independent cultivators go to hunt monsters and search for rare and precious materials.

Chen Yi's figure flickered, and he passed through the North Gate, stepping into the outer area of ​​Wanling Mountain.

What comes into view is a continuous mountain range, with towering trees blocking out the sun.

As Chen Yi entered the dense forest, sunlight filtered through the lush foliage and fell upon him. Not daring to be careless, Chen Yi darted through the giant trees.

He calmed his mind and focused on maximizing his senses. The faint hissing of demonic beasts and poisonous insects echoed around him, keeping him on high alert.

Chen Yi continued forward following the map, sprinkling special medicinal powder on his robe to conceal his presence.

Chen Yi didn't stop until noon.

He pulled out a map and realized that he would need about half a day to reach the area of ​​the Golden Light Immortal's cave. Chen Yi discovered that most of the demonic beasts on the outskirts of Wanling Mountain possessed the strength of the fourth or fifth level of Qi Refining.

Going in alone is indeed very risky.

However, he also discovered some insect swarms on the outskirts of Wanling Mountain, most of which were not very aggressive. Some of these spirit insects were extremely dangerous, no less so than the Azure Spirit Devouring Insect swarm.

Chen Yi naturally dared not provoke him, but a burning desire stirred within him.

If you can capture them, raise them in captivity, and sell them, you can get a lot of spirit stones.

After resting on the tree trunk for an hour, Chen Yi got up and continued on his way.

However, before he could rush very far, the sounds of fighting suddenly came from ahead.

Chen Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately slipped into the shadows. He was dressed in a dark green robe that blended seamlessly into the surrounding lush foliage.

A moment later, several figures rushed from a distance to a position a dozen meters in front of Chen Yi.

"Hmph, trying to run? Do you think you can escape the clutches of the three of us?"

Upon hearing the sound ahead, Chen Yi immediately felt that it sounded somewhat familiar.

A thought struck him, and he immediately held his breath and carefully crept forward.

Through the dense foliage, he looked ahead and saw four figures in the open space.

Chen Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, only then realizing that the cultivators appearing in front of him were all people he recognized.

One of the cultivators, covered in wounds and with his clothes soaked in blood, was none other than Wei Wufeng.

Upon seeing the three cultivators surrounding him, a flash of anger appeared in Chen Yi's eyes.

Zhang Mazi and his two companions, wielding magical weapons, surrounded Wei Wufeng.

Cracks appeared on the longsword in Wei Wufeng's hand, and the protective magic artifact in his left hand quietly shattered, turning into fragments that fell to the ground.

"Stop struggling. Hand over Master Jin Guang's treasure to the three of us, and we'll give you a quick death," Zhang Mazi said coldly, holding a spiked club.

Wei Wufeng planted his longsword on the ground to steady himself and said in a deep voice:

"Hmph, they're nothing but three despicable and shameless scoundrels."

"No need for nonsense. If you want it, come and get it yourself. Let's see who has the last laugh."

At this point, a resolute glint flashed in Wei Wufeng's eyes, and his aura actually increased slightly.

Zhang Mazi's face showed a hint of apprehension. Wei Wufeng's cultivation level was the seventh level of Qi Refining. He himself was at the fifth level of Qi Refining, and Zheng Dayou and Li Erdan were only at the fourth level of Qi Refining.

Even if the enemy fights to the death and manages to kill Wei Wufeng, our side will still pay a price.

Wei Wufeng glanced at the three people present, pondering how to escape.

The treasure he possessed, belonging to the Golden Light Master, was also stolen from others. His companions were all dead, and he himself was seriously injured.

Little did he know that the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind; as he fled, he unexpectedly encountered Zhang Mazi and his two companions.

Zhang Mazi pondered for a moment, a ruthless look appearing on his face, and said:

"Hmph, stop pretending. The three of us can easily take you down."

"Don't worry, I'll spare your life. I'll even take you hostage to find Chen Yi later, hahaha."

Chen Yi, hiding in the shadows, had a grim expression and clenched his fists.

The ruthlessness of Zhang Mazi and his gang enraged him. However, Chen Yi did not lose his composure; instead, he pondered how to rescue Wei Wufeng safely.

He pondered for a moment and immediately decided how to make his move.

Chen Yi took out the insect-breeding bag from his pocket and pointed it forward. He used his insect control technique, and one after another, Azure Nether Spirit Devouring Insects flew out in an orderly fashion.

Under Chen Yi's control, the emerald green Azure Nether Devouring Insect blended perfectly with the surrounding branches and giant trees.

At this moment, Wei Wufeng and Zhang Mazi and others had already begun to fight.

Zhang Mazi, wielding a spiked club, engaged in close combat with Wei Wufeng, while Zheng Dayou and Li Erdan circled around them, constantly harassing Wei Wufeng with fireballs.

Wei Wufeng, wielding a long sword, launched a continuous attack on Zhang Mazi. Their weapons clashed repeatedly, and bursts of spiritual energy spread outwards.

Faced with a life-or-death crisis, Wei Wufeng fought with increasing ferocity.

However, under the combined attack of Zhang Mazi and the other two, Wei Wufeng's remaining spiritual energy and strength were constantly being depleted.

A crisp "clang" rang out.

The spiked club and the longsword clashed, and the latter shattered instantly.

Wei Wufeng looked surprised and immediately dodged backward. Zhang Mazi laughed wildly and pressed his advantage to kill his opponent.

Seeing this, Chen Yi took a deep breath and shot out like an arrow.
