Cultivating Immortality: Beginning with Blessings from the Immortals

A burst of rosy light enveloped the ground in front of him, and Chen Yi immediately activated the ancient bronze mirror and the golden bell talisman.

The full moon shield and the golden bell shield simultaneously enveloped Chen Yi.

As the afterglow faded, the scene on the ground was revealed.

Chen Yi stared intently ahead and saw many corpses of spirit insects lying on the ground. He immediately rushed over to examine them.

"What a pity!" Chen Yi said with a look of regret.

While insect-rearing bags can be used to store living creatures like spirit insects, these insects still need to be fed. Since the Venerable Jin Guang passed away over a hundred years ago, a significant number of the spirit insects inside have died.

Although these spirit insects were lifelike, they did not emit any spiritual energy.

Among them were several venomous scorpions, each two or three meters long, which should be comparable to those of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

He kept examining the corpses of these spirit insects, many of which he did not recognize, but which must have come from the Wanling Mountain.

"Never mind, the corpses of these spirit insects are quite valuable. I'll sell them all to the Treasure Pavilion when I get back," Chen Yi thought to himself.

At that moment, a few faint fluctuations of spiritual energy caught Chen Yi's attention.

Chen Yi immediately turned his head and discovered that there were hundreds of insect eggs inside the corpse of the spirit insect. These insect eggs had a peculiar appearance, very similar to silkworm cocoons on Blue Star in his previous life.

However, the cocoon-shaped insect eggs are light yellow in color.

"It's still alive after being in the insect-rearing bag for so long, it must not be an ordinary spirit insect," Chen Yi thought to himself.

Instead of placing it in the insect enclosure, he took out several spiritual gold beads, broke them open, and dripped the juice onto the insect eggs.

Although not enough to hatch them, it can restore some of their vitality.

Chen Yi plans to determine the type of insect eggs before deciding whether to cultivate them.

There are countless kinds of spiritual insects in the cultivation world, so Chen Yi naturally has to be careful.

He put the corpses of these spirit insects back into his insect-raising bag, intending to sell them at the Treasure Pavilion after this turmoil had passed.

There are still cultivators fighting for the treasures of the Golden Light Master in Wanling Mountain. Now that these spirit insect corpses are being sold, they will surely attract the attention of the cultivators.

Chen Yi picked up the deep yellow Ganoderma lucidum to examine it. He immediately realized that this was probably a 'Yellow Jade Marrow Ganoderma' that was over three hundred years old.

It can enhance a cultivator's physique and cleanse their marrow.

"It's perfect for using the yellow-scaled jade in a medicinal bath; it's truly a windfall." Chen Yi's face lit up with joy.

This yellow jade marrow mushroom is exactly what Chen Yi needs right now, as it allows him to break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining in a short time.

Chen Yi was instantly energized and went to the backyard to take good care of the spirit insects and spirit fields.

Once all the insect eggs have hatched and grown into mature forms, and all the spiritual fields are mature, he can go to the Hundred Treasures Pavilion again to make some purchases.

At this moment, Wei Wufeng and his sister are in the room.

Wei Wufeng was intently looking at the rare and precious materials on the table, as well as the items in another storage bag.

Wei Xueqing was attracted by the brocade box of the Golden Light Master. The Golden Light Master was a stunningly beautiful woman, and the brocade box, inlaid with many jewels, was naturally able to attract a woman's attention.

She opened the brocade box and examined it carefully, only to find a deep purple jade ruyi lying at the bottom.

The purple jade ruyi swayed with wisps of rosy light, constantly emanating an eerie aura.

"Brother, there's another treasure inside!" Wei Xueqing exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, Wei Wufeng immediately turned around, put down the storage bag in his hand, and walked over.

He picked up the purple jade ruyi and examined it. Although he found nothing unusual, he knew that it was definitely not an ordinary item.

"I'll put it away first and study it carefully when I get back."

"Little sister, once I sell these rare and precious materials and magical artifacts, I will definitely be able to find someone to heal your body," Wei Wufeng said firmly.

Wei Xueqing's eyes welled up with tears. She knew that her brother had worked hard for her for many years, and this time he almost died in Wanling Mountain.

"Brother, I..." Wei Xueqing choked out.

Wei Wufeng smiled gently and waved to her.

……

Time flies like an arrow for cultivators; two months pass in the blink of an eye.

Chen Yi was busy in the backyard, where all the Yulu fragrant rice had ripened and he was harvesting and sorting it.

As for the insect shed, thanks to the blessing of the Insect God, 99% of the Azure Spirit Devouring Insect's eggs successfully hatched.

There are now over eight hundred mature Azure Devouring Insects, some of which have mutated. However, to Chen Yi's dismay, no Insect King has yet emerged.

"It seems the probability of a bug king being born is low. If a bug king is born..."

Chen Yi put the seven hundred Azure Spirit Devouring Insects into his insect-raising bag and then put the Jade Dew Fragrant Rice into his storage bag.

After he was fully prepared, he pushed open the courtyard gate and headed straight for Jin Feng Rice Shop.

Chen Yi was not in a hurry. Instead, he wandered through the streets and alleys, listening to the rogue cultivators recount the events that had happened in the market recently.

Through conversations with many independent cultivators, Chen Yi learned that the vast majority of cultivators had already returned from Wanling Mountain.

The treasures of the Golden Light Master have been acquired by several forces, but many cultivators have lost their lives as a result.

Chen Yi secretly rejoiced, it seemed that he was very lucky to be able to save Wei Wufeng in time.

He traveled all the way to the outer sect management area of ​​Tianling Sect in the center of the market, paid half a year's management fee to the outer sect disciples of Tianling Sect, and then went straight to Jinfeng Rice Shop.

At this moment, many independent cultivators at Jinfeng Rice Shop are handing over spiritual rice.

Those rogue cultivators who recognized Chen Yi greeted him warmly.

"Chen Yi, you've broken through to the third level of Qi Refining! Not bad!"

"It's been so long! I had you been in seclusion cultivating. Congratulations on your successful breakthrough."

……

Chen Yi smiled. These rogue cultivators had a good relationship with the original owner's father, and they genuinely congratulated him on his breakthrough.

He responded to each of them and chatted with them for a few minutes.

At that moment, the guards of Jin Feng Rice Shop saw Chen Yi arrive and immediately showed him respect as they invited him in.

The other independent cultivators looked puzzled upon seeing this, as the attitude of Jin Feng Rice Shop towards Chen Feng was clearly very different from theirs.

Chen Yi followed the guards to the inner courtyard, where he sat in the pavilion waiting for Elder Su.

A moment later, a figure appeared in front of Chen Yi.

"Young Chen, you really did come out of Wanling Mountain alive!" Old Su laughed heartily.

Upon seeing this, Chen Yi immediately clasped his hands in a salute, as he was able to return safely from Wanling Mountain thanks to Elder Su's help.

He presented the Blazing Sun Sword and a thousand spirit stones to Elder Su with a respectful expression.

"Elder Su, I was lucky to save my friend; I didn't even venture deep into the outer perimeter of Wanling Mountain."

"But I still thank you for your help, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to come back alive," Chen Yi said, expressing his gratitude.

Old Su did not take the storage bag, but instead asked:

"Let's put that aside for now. How's the cultivation of Yulu fragrant rice going?"

With a thought, Chen Yi conjured up bags of Jade Dew Fragrant Rice on the ground.

Old Su opened each item to check, and the aroma of rice filled the entire courtyard.

"Hmm, not bad, the quality is even better than last time." Old Su's face showed delight.

Chen Yi felt a sense of pride. This time, the Jade Dew Fragrant Rice had two large groups of insects to help it mature, so its quality was naturally very good.

Old Su put the spirit rice into his storage bag, stroked his beard, and smiled:

"Alright, consider this Blazing Sun Sword and a thousand spirit stones as payment for this."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi looked surprised and quickly said:

"Old Su, how can this be? These Jade Dew Fragrant Rice aren't even worth the price..."
