Cultivating Immortality: Beginning with Blessings from the Immortals

[True Martial Emperor's Blessing Tier 2 Awaiting Activation]

[Offerings: 10 kg of Spirit Silver Sand, 3 Hundred-Year-Old Spirit Plants, 20 Qi Condensation Pills]

[True Martial Emperor's Blessing (Tier 2): Comprehension +20%, Spell and Technique Cultivation Speed ​​+20%, Spell Power +20%, with a certain probability of doubling spell power]

[Advanced: Cultivating spells and techniques has a chance to produce special effects]

[Exclusive Passive Skill: Enlightenment and Tranquility, True Martial Fighting Spirit]

Chen Yi let out a soft exclamation, immediately noticing the additional effects of the True Martial Emperor's Blessing Level 2.

One method is to increase the speed of cultivating spells and techniques, which is simple, clear, and very practical.

What surprised him was the advancement effect, which could give special effects to cultivation techniques and spells. This period did not mean that there was a possibility of advancing the cultivation techniques and spells.

A flicker of fervor flashed in Chen Yi's eyes; he wanted to activate the True Martial Emperor's Tier 2 Blessing immediately.

He had several hundred-year-old spiritual plants in his possession, which he originally intended to use for cultivating the Zhenyue Body Refining Technique, but now he could only take out three.

Spirit Silver Sand is a material used for refining weapons; 10 kilograms of it requires 500 low-grade spirit stones.

Chen Yi took the spirit stones and immediately bought enough spirit silver sand in the market.

He placed the century-old spiritual plant, the silver spirit sand, and the Qi-condensing pill on the ground, silently praying for the blessings of the immortals.

The next moment, golden light enveloped the offerings on the ground.

The shrine of the True Martial Emperor reappeared, directly enveloping Chen Yi's entire body.

[True Martial Emperor's Blessing Tier 2 has been activated]

[The first time the True Martial Emperor bestows a blessing at Tier 2, the blessing effect is greatly increased, and the effect lasts for one month.]

Chen Yi felt a mysterious and ancient aura envelop him, and he immediately realized that the blessing effect had been activated.

He dared not waste any time, as the effects of the blessing would be greatly enhanced in this month, and he needed to work hard to cultivate.

With this in mind, Chen Yi immediately began to prepare the body-tempering medicinal bath.

He took out the Spirit Essence Golden Pearl and Yellow Scale Jade, along with the Qi Condensation Pill and the Grain-Clearing Pill, specifically for use during his seclusion.

Having prepared everything, Chen Yi made a point of checking the courtyard's protective barriers and also arranged some Azure Spirit Devouring Insects in the room to protect himself.

Chen Yi took off his clothes and leaped into the medicinal bath tub.

He began to temper his body by circulating the Zhenyue Body Refining Technique, and then took the Spirit Essence Golden Pearl and the Qi Condensation Pill.

Soon, Chen Yi entered a meditative state.

Time flies, and Chen Yi never left the courtyard during the month that passed.

However, as spiritual energy continuously gathered inside the courtyard, the temperature seemed to rise by more than ten degrees.

With a creak, the door opened.

Chen Yi flashed into the courtyard.

He exhaled a breath of stale air and couldn't help but let out a long howl. Fortunately, the restrictions in the courtyard had the effect of isolating the sound.

Chen Yi's skin turned whiter, and his aura became much more solid, seemingly reaching the perfect third level of the Qi Refining stage.

"Phew, my cultivation has improved again." Chen Yi's face lit up with joy as he stretched his body.

For the past month, he has been practicing the Crimson Blood Spirit Explosion Technique in the morning, the Mountain Suppressing Body Refining Technique in the afternoon, and the Blazing Sun Furnace Technique all night long.

Now, he has not only mastered the Crimson Blood Spirit Explosion Technique, but has also made some progress in his cultivation.

After moving around and changing his clothes, Chen Yi went to the backyard to check on the spirit insects and spirit fields.

Pushing open the backyard gate, one after another, emerald green Azure Spirit Devouring Insects swirled and danced.

The swarm has now grown to over a thousand individuals, half of whom are mature, with a small portion having undergone evolutionary mutations.

Just as Chen Yi was checking, a third-level Qi Refining aura emerged from the swarm of insects.

Chen Yi was startled and immediately focused his gaze on the swarm of insects.

A blue-green spirit-devouring worm the size of a head appeared in the swarm. As if sensing Chen Yi's gaze, it immediately transformed into a streak of light and flew over.

Chen Yi took a half step back and immediately gripped the bronze mirror artifact in his hand.

The Azure Spirit Devouring Insect, about the size of a head, showed no intention of attacking; instead, it obediently landed on Chen Yi's shoulder.

"This...this is the Azure Nether Soul-Devouring Insect King!"

A look of surprise flashed across Chen Yi's eyes, but it quickly turned into ecstasy.

This Azure Spirit Devouring Insect possesses an aura that reaches the third level of Qi Refining, clearly indicating that it is not an ordinary insect king.

This also made Chen Yi feel somewhat surreal, as his insect king was actually at the same level as him.

However, cultivators possess cultivation techniques, spells, and magical artifacts, making them far stronger than demonic beasts and spirit insects of the same level.

The Azure Spirit Devouring Insect King trembled, and several green crystals slid off its abdomen. Chen Yi immediately reached out and caught the green crystals.

The next moment, a line of golden characters appeared before Chen Yi's eyes.

【Azure Poison Crystal: Contains a potent poison; can be used to inscribe talismans and formations】

Chen Yi's heart stirred; the items secreted by the Azure Spirit Devouring Insect King this time were not for cultivation.

"But I don't know how to draw talismans or create formations, which is a bit..."

In the world of cultivation, not everyone is a prodigy who can progress smoothly on the path of cultivation.

Some cultivators possess exceptional talent in crafting artifacts, alchemy, talismans, and formations. They can achieve great things in the cultivation world through drawing talismans and crafting artifacts.

"I wonder if I have any talent in formations, but can I unleash tremendous power by combining formations with the Azure Spirit Devouring Insects?" Chen Yi thought to himself.

With this in mind, he decided to use the Azure Nether Poison Crystal to create a magic array.

"When I have time, I'll go to the Treasure Pavilion to buy basic array knowledge. I can't let the Azure Nether Poison Crystal go to waste."

Chen Yi went to the kitchen and began to cook a special meat porridge using Jade Dew Fragrant Rice and medicinal herbs.

Some more toxins accumulated in his body, which he continued to expel with Jade Dew Fragrant Rice.

Before long, a fragrant aroma wafted from the kitchen.

Although Chen Yi had a fasting pill and didn't need to eat during his seclusion, he still felt a bit hungry after not eating for so long.

He picked up the bowl and began to eat heartily, a warm current rising in his chest and abdomen.

Before Chen Yi could finish eating, there were several knocks on the door.

Chen Yi looked puzzled, immediately put down his chopsticks and walked quickly toward the courtyard gate.

"Who is outside?" Chen Yi asked cautiously.

Several powerful auras emanated from outside the door. Upon closer inspection, Chen Yi discovered that they were all around the eighth or ninth level of the Qi Refining stage, with one even reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.

"Chen Yi, it's me." The old manager of Baibaoge's voice rang out from outside the door.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi immediately realized what was happening and hurriedly opened the courtyard gate.

Some old shopkeepers in brocade robes stood at the courtyard gate, with young owners in white robes waving jade fans behind them.

Behind the two were several guards, one of whom was an old man who was a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Chen Yi dared not be negligent, and immediately clasped his hands in a salute, saying:

"I didn't expect the old manager and young master to come in person. Did they come to see me about the spirit insect?"

The young master waved his jade fan and smiled:

"Let's go inside and talk. As the host, I can't let our honored guest stand outside."

Chen Yi immediately realized what was happening and gestured for everyone to enter the courtyard.

His gaze swept toward the backyard, where the insect swarm and spirit fields were located. Although protected by array restrictions, Chen Yi did not want to expose them to outsiders.

With a thought, the blessing effect of the immortals temporarily disappeared.

The young master and his entourage filed in, and Chen Yi brought them wooden chairs.

They did not offend Chen Yi's privacy and sat comfortably on the wooden chair.

The young master's nose twitched slightly, clearly attracted by the aroma of the Jade Dew Fragrant Rice, and he couldn't help but speak:

"Are you cooking? It smells so delicious!"
