Cultivating Immortality: Beginning with Blessings from the Immortals

Chen Yi felt a bit of a headache. Zhao Junri's father, Zhao Deyan, was a cultivator at the peak of the Qi Refining stage, and it was rumored that he had recently begun to break through.

If one breaks through to the Foundation Establishment stage, then one has truly embarked on the path of cultivation.

"The cultivation world truly values ​​strength above all else," Chen Yi thought to himself.

The original owner's parents had just passed away, and his aunt couldn't wait to come and take advantage of their family's misfortune.

Chen Yi recalled the battle that had taken place on the outskirts of Wanling Mountain, his eyes growing even more resolute. As long as he could become stronger, he would naturally have no fear of anyone.

He currently plans to improve his strength as soon as possible and break through to the middle level of Qi Refining at the fourth level.

Chen Yi lay in bed, a wave of drowsiness washing over him, and he drifted off to sleep without realizing it.

……

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Yi opened his eyes and immediately got out of bed.

He stretched out a big yawn, and a slight cracking sound came from his bones.

Chen Yi pushed open the door and realized that it was already noon, with dazzling sunlight streaming down.

The aroma of food wafted from the kitchen next door. He looked closely and saw that Wei Xueqing was cooking meat porridge.

Chen Yi's appetite was immediately whetted, and he moved closer.

Wei Xueqing noticed footsteps behind her, turned around, and smiled when she saw Chen Yi. She said:

"Brother Chen, you're awake!"

Chen Yi nodded slightly and asked, "How is Brother Wei feeling? How long have I been asleep?"

"My brother's condition has stabilized, and he is still asleep."

"Brother Chen, you've slept for a whole day and night, so I don't want to disturb you."

Chen Yi was secretly alarmed; he hadn't expected to have slept for a whole day and night. Thinking back to his trip to the outskirts of Wanling Mountain, it truly had been extremely dangerous.

If it weren't for the Azure Spirit Devouring Insect swarm, he probably wouldn't have been able to kill Zhang Mazi and the other two.

Seeing Chen Yi constantly looking at the iron pot in front of him, Wei Xueqing immediately ladled him a bowl of meat porridge.

After expressing his gratitude, Chen Yi drank the scalding hot porridge in one gulp.

A surge of heat emanated from his chest and abdomen, and a trace of spiritual energy flowed into his inner body.

"Hmm, you added Jade Dew Fragrant Rice?!" Chen Yi asked, sensing the spiritual energy in his mouth.

Wei Xueqing nodded slightly and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Chen."

"I believe this spirit rice contains spiritual energy; cooking it into meat porridge can help you recover from your injuries."

Chen Yi smiled and quickly said:

"It's alright, feel free to use this spirit rice. I originally saved it for my own consumption."

"I'll go cultivate first, you continue."

Chen Yi returned to the room and took out the storage bags of Zhang Mazi and the other two.

Previously, on the outskirts of Wanling Mountain, he did not have time to carefully examine the cultivation techniques and spells in the storage bag.

Now that things have settled down, Chen Yi immediately began to examine the cultivation techniques and spell manuals in front of him.

"Fireball, Palm Lightning, and Water Ball..."

"These are all basic spells, useless to me. But this Body Tempering Technique..."

Chen Yi's gaze fell on a yellowed cultivation manual, which read "The Body-Refining Technique of Mountain-Suppressing".

"The name sounds impressive, but I wonder..."

He put down the ancient book and immediately examined its contents.

A moment later, a look of excitement appeared on Chen Yi's face.

The reason is simple: this "Suppressing the Mountain Body Refining Technique" is a body tempering cultivation method. Unlike ordinary cultivation methods, it takes a different approach by using body tempering to improve cultivation, and it does not conflict with one's own cultivation method.

"I need a medicinal bath with spiritual plants unique to body tempering, which is perfect for me." Chen Yi's eyes lit up.

He now possesses the Spirit Essence Golden Pearl and the Yellow Scale Jade, which, along with other spiritual plants, can be used to make medicinal baths.

Besides requiring medicinal baths, cultivating the Zhenyue Body Refining Technique also involves physically pounding oneself, which is extremely painful, so few Qi Refining cultivators choose this method.

Chen Yi made a quick decision and decided to cultivate the Zhenyue Body Refining Technique.

In addition, he immediately noticed the purple talisman used by Zhang Mazi.

"A first-grade high-quality talisman, capable of withstanding attacks from a Qi Refining Level 7 cultivator, but unfortunately, it has a limited number of uses," Chen Yi thought to himself.

First-tier talismans correspond to the power of cultivators in the Qi Refining stage, and their grades are low, medium, high, and top-grade.

This top-grade first-tier talisman must have been obtained by Zhang Mazi after considerable effort. Judging from the residual spiritual energy on it, it hasn't been used much, which is perfect for Chen Yi.

This purple talisman is called the Golden Bell Talisman, which can conjure a golden bell that envelops the wearer.

Zhang Mazi and the other two had a total of over two thousand low-grade spirit stones. After repaying Elder Su, they still had over a thousand spirit stones left.

"Killing and robbing is dangerous, but the speed at which you can obtain spirit stones is really fast!" Chen Yi exclaimed.

After counting them, he put them all into his storage bag.

For the next few days, Chen Yi rested except for taking care of the spirit insects and spirit fields, and also took care of Wei Wufeng.

"Brother Wei, have your injuries healed?" Chen Yi asked with concern.

Wei Wufeng, dressed in a loose-fitting long robe, was resting on a cool chair in the courtyard. Upon hearing Chen Yi's words, he responded:

"Thanks to your elixirs and gold beads, my injuries have mostly healed."

"I've been working on breaking the seals on the brocade box for the past few days, and I've finally gotten my hands on the treasure inside," Wei Wufeng said excitedly.

As he spoke, he took out a brocade box from his bosom, and when he opened it, bursts of rosy light appeared.

As the rosy light faded, two cultivation manuals, several rare and precious herbs, and two storage bags appeared before them.

Chen Yi looked surprised and immediately went forward to check.

These rare and precious plants are surrounded by a glowing light and exude a delicate fragrance; they must be at least several hundred years old.

Wei Wufeng also looked excited and immediately stepped forward to examine the treasures carefully.

Chen Yi's attention was drawn to the yellow insect-rearing bag, where he could sense the presence of spirit insects.

These treasures all belonged to Wei Wufeng, and Chen Yi could not presume to investigate them, so he could only wait for Wei Wufeng to examine them.

A moment later, Wei Wufeng slowly raised his head.

"Chen Yi, you can choose one of these rare and precious herbs. I'll keep the rest for Xue Qing's treatment."

"Here, take this insect-raising bag. After all, you're raising spirit insects. Only female cultivators can practice this technique, so it seems I'll have to keep it for now," Wei Wufeng said.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi readily agreed.

Although he saved Wei Wufeng, these treasures were obtained by Wei Wufeng through his own hard work and effort.

He stepped forward, took the yellow insect-rearing bag, and then selected a deep yellow Ganoderma lucidum.

"I cannot express my gratitude enough. If you can cure Xueqing, I will repay you handsomely in the future," Wei Wufeng said, clasping his hands in a respectful gesture.

Chen Yi quickly spoke up, indicating that he had already gained the upper hand.

A look of gratitude appeared on Wei Wufeng's face. If Chen Yi hadn't personally risked his life to go to Wanling Mountain, he probably would have died at Zhang Mazi's hands long ago.

After thanking him repeatedly, he pushed Wei Xueqing towards the door. After all, he had troubled Chen Yi for quite some time, so it was natural for him to return to his home next door.

A hint of reluctance flashed in Wei Xueqing's eyes as she thanked Chen Yi in return.

After parting ways, the three returned to their own courtyards.

Chen Yi returned to the courtyard and immediately began to examine the yellow insect breeding bags.

Master Jin Guang is a famous insect tamer, so there must be powerful spirit insects in her insect-raising bag.

Just in case, Chen Yi first performed a blood oath ceremony on the insect-breeding bag, and then took out an antique bronze mirror and a purple talisman for protection.

Chen Yi slowly opened the insect-rearing bag, and with a thought, the contents inside immediately rushed out.
