Cultivating Immortality: Beginning with Blessings from the Immortals

This outer disciple of the Heavenly Spirit Sect has already reached the eighth level of the Qi Refining stage.

After hearing Chen Yi's words, he looked him up and down and replied:

"You are only a fourth-level Qi Refining cultivator. Cultivating array formations is not that simple."

"It not only depends on individual talent, but also requires the consumption of a lot of spirit stones."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi smiled, knowing that the other person wanted to comfort him.

However, he possesses the Blessing System of the Immortals, and as long as he can master the basics of the formation, he may be able to activate the blessing effect.

Chen Yi smiled and replied, "Senior brother, I am very interested in formations."

"You can spend some spirit stones to learn it, but I won't force you if you don't have the talent."

Upon hearing this, the outer disciple of the Heavenly Spirit Sect stopped insisting and, after verifying Chen Yi's identity, told him the location of the school.

As Chen Yi stepped into the outer gate of the Heavenly Spirit Sect, he discovered that the area was filled with high-level Qi Refining cultivators, and even a few Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Apart from him being a Qi Refining Stage 4 cultivator, all the other cultivators were at Qi Refining Stage 7 or above.

"If the outer sect of the Heavenly Spirit Sect has so many high-level Qi Refining cultivators, wouldn't the inner sect be even more..." Chen Yi thought to himself, secretly alarmed.

This instilled a sense of awe in Chen Yi, reminding him that even with the blessings of the immortals, he should not be arrogant.

Chen Yi arrived in front of a large courtyard. There were two Qi Refining stage cultivators standing guard at the entrance, and a purple plaque above the gate with the four characters "Longyuan Academy" written on it.

He stepped inside and found that more than a dozen cultivators had already gathered in the courtyard.

Chen Yi looked ahead and was surprised to find a familiar figure.

"Brother Deng, you're here too!?" Chen Yi exclaimed in surprise.

The reason was simple: Deng Liangyu, the young master of Baibaoge, also appeared in the school.

Deng Liangyu also looked surprised when she saw Chen Yi, and immediately greeted him, saying:

"Chen Yi, aren't you supposed to be raising spirit insects? What are you doing here?"

Chen Yi felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this. He was blessed by the Insect God and did not need to take care of the insect swarm like other insect tamers.

His presence here now would make Deng Liangyu think he's not taking things seriously.

Chen Yi stepped forward and said:

"I want to learn formations, so I came to the outer sect of Tianling Sect specifically."

Beside Deng Liangyu was a man dressed in light yellow brocade robes, whose aura had reached the ninth level of the Qi Refining stage, just one step away from the Foundation Establishment stage.

"Liangyu, who is this...?" the man said.

Deng Liangyu lightly waved her jade fan and introduced her identity to Chen Yi and the man.

It turned out that the man in brocade robes was Yang Liren, the young master of a family of cultivators in the market.

The Yang family has stood in the market for hundreds of years. It is said that the current head of the Yang family is a Foundation Establishment cultivator who is currently in seclusion to break through to the Golden Core stage.

Upon hearing Chen Yi's identity, Yang Liren's expression changed slightly.

He never expected that Deng Liangyu would get to know Chen Yi, who was about the same age as him but only had the fourth level of Qi Refining.

"Chen Yi, the art of formations is not so easy. You need to think this through carefully," Deng Liangyu reminded him.

Chen Yi nodded slightly and made up an excuse to brush it off.

Deng Liangyu then introduced the school's rules to Chen Yi. There were special array masters here who taught everyone the way of array formations, but they needed to hand over five hundred low-grade spirit stones every month.

Upon hearing the price, Chen Yi couldn't help but show surprise.

Although he had anticipated that the tuition would be expensive, he hadn't expected it to cost five hundred low-grade spirit stones.

Yang Liren also spoke up at this moment:

"This is just the most basic. If you want to learn second-tier formations, you will need to submit additional spirit stones."

First-order formations correspond to the Qi Refining stage, while second-order formations correspond to the Foundation Establishment stage.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Yi decided to pay two months' tuition first.

He really didn't want to give up his plan to create the poison array, especially since he was confident that if he could activate the blessing of the immortals, he could embark on the path of array formations.

At this moment, the array master had not yet arrived at the school.

After Chen Yi paid two months' tuition, the outer disciples of the Tianling Sect gave him a specially made token, which allowed him to freely enter and leave the school.

He also struck up a conversation with Deng Liangyu and Yang Liren.

Yang Liren is quite talented in formations and is already able to create many first-order formations. He has begun to learn second-order formations and plans to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage to create second-order formations.

Chen Yi keenly sensed that although the other party was very polite in his words, he seemed to have some disdain and hostility towards him.

Moreover, the way he looked at Deng Liangyu was somewhat peculiar, giving Chen Yi the feeling of a gaze between a man and a woman.

"He couldn't be...?"

Thinking of this, Chen Yi couldn't help but put some distance between himself and Yang Liren.

Just as the three were chatting, a figure appeared behind Yang Liren and said:

"Young Master Yang, what do you think of the formation I drew?"

Upon seeing this person, Chen Yi couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing. The reason was simple: the newcomer was none other than Zhao Junri.

He never expected to run into Zhao Junri at the outer sect of the Heavenly Spirit Sect.

The two had only met briefly, yet they had "reunited" here.

Zhao Junri was taken aback when he saw Chen Yi, but then his anger surged, and he said in a deep voice:

"Chen Yi, you bastard, how could you..."

He realized what he was saying halfway through his sentence and immediately looked at Yang Liren.

Seeing this, Deng Liangyu asked in confusion, "Hmm? You two know each other?"

Before Zhao Junri could speak, Chen Yi said calmly:

"Brother Deng, I have met this person a few times."

Zhao Junri was about to shout angrily upon hearing this, but he immediately deflated after seeing Yang Liren's eyes.

A playful look appeared on Chen Yi's face as he stood aside and stared at Zhao Junri.

A cold glint flashed in Zhao Junri's eyes, but he handed the array plate in his hand to Yang Liren and asked about the array.

Chen Yi made an excuse and turned to leave. He had come here to learn about formations and naturally did not want to cause any trouble.

Zhao Junri stared at Chen Yi's retreating figure, a look of disbelief flashing across his face. He never expected that Chen Yi would actually become acquainted with such prodigies as Deng Liangyu and Yang Liren.

Soon, the two array masters from the Heavenly Spirit Sect entered the academy.

Chen Yi's gaze fell on them, and he immediately sensed that their auras were different from others.

One of the array masters was dressed in a blue robe. He had an ordinary appearance, but he always exuded a unique charm.

"Alright, some of you are returning students, and some are new members of the academy."

"I will teach the newly joined cultivators, while the rest will still be taught by Master Sun," the blue-robed array master said slowly.

After saying goodbye to Chen Yi, Deng Liangyu, Yang Liren, and Zhao Junri followed Master Sun away.

There were seven or eight other cultivators in the same spot, who, like Chen Yi, were new members of the academy.

"My name is Zhou Mo, you can call me Master Zhou."

"Since you've chosen to come here to learn formations, you must first abide by the rules..."

After explaining the school's rules to everyone, Zhou Mo led Chen Yi and the others into the school.

He took out several array plates and array flags and immediately began to explain the knowledge about array formations to everyone.

Chen Yi dared not let his mind wander and immediately focused on listening to the other person's story.
