Cultivating Immortality: Beginning with Blessings from the Immortals

Just as Chen Yi was hesitating, he suddenly remembered the second-tier spirit insect in the insect-raising bag of the Golden Light Master.

Although these spirit insects are already corpses, they are still Foundation Establishment stage spirit insects, so they can definitely still be sold for some spirit stones.

Thinking of this, Chen Yi had a thought and took out several second-tier spirit insect corpses from the insect breeding bag.

"Waiter, how many spirit stones do you think these can sell for?" Chen Yi asked.

The servant, having spent many years in the Treasure Pavilion, was well-informed and naturally knew that these spirit insects were all second-tier spirit insects.

"I went to ask the shopkeeper, and although they were all corpses, they were still worth a lot of spirit stones."

A moment later, the servant led the old manager out.

When the old shopkeeper came out and saw Chen Yi, he immediately smiled. The young master valued Chen Yi highly, so he naturally dared not neglect him.

"Old shopkeeper, we meet again."

"I wonder how many spirit stones these spirit insect corpses are worth?" Chen Yi asked.

The old shopkeeper immediately stepped forward to examine the corpses of the spirit insects, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

"Although these second-tier spirit insects are dead, they are well preserved. Some of them can be used for alchemy or to feed spirit insects."

"Eight hundred low-grade spirit stones in total, I'll take them all," the old shopkeeper said.

Chen Yi readily agreed, knowing that the old shopkeeper wouldn't try to lower the price because of his relationship with Deng Liangyu.

The old shopkeeper secretly glanced at Chen Yi a few times, not expecting that the other party could actually produce the corpse of a second-tier spirit insect.

Chen Yi took out all his spirit stones to buy the array plate and array flags for the Poison Cloud Spirit Transformation Array, and still had some spirit stones left.

He kept some of the remaining spirit stones for backup, and used the rest to buy medicinal herbs, spiritual plants, and pills.

The old shopkeeper smiled and saw Chen Yi out of the Treasure Pavilion.

Chen Yi flashed away and went straight back to his own courtyard.

As he stepped onto the street leading to his own courtyard, a sharp gaze suddenly fixed on Chen Yi, causing him to feel a slight stinging sensation on his back.

Chen Yi's spiritual sense and perception far surpassed those of ordinary cultivators, allowing him to immediately sense that he was being monitored.

He had just turned his head when a burly man in a dark brown robe was smiling at him.

Chen Yi felt a chill run down his spine and quickened his pace.

But the figure behind him kept a distance until Chen Yi entered the courtyard, at which point he stopped not far away.

Chen Yi closed the courtyard gate, and the figure disappeared leisurely from his sight.

"Hmph, this is interesting," Zhang Yuting said in a low voice.

He did not conceal his aura, but Chen Yi did not show the slightest fear when facing him, who was at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

Zhang Yuting did not make a move in public, after all, he was in the marketplace.

The rules of the market cannot be broken, after all, these rules were set by the Tianling Sect.

In recent days, he had secretly investigated the matter between Chen Yi and Zhang Mazi. Although Zhao Junri's words were only 60-70% true, he vaguely sensed that Chen Yi was involved.

The reason is simple: it all seems too coincidental.

Zhang Mazi and his two companions had been monitoring Chen Yi, but both sides disappeared for a period of time. This period coincided with the search for the Golden Light Master's cave.

Moreover, he had used his connections to investigate, and someone had seen Chen Yi and Wei Wufeng entering and leaving the north gate of the market.

"Kid, I'll keep an eye on you. I'll find an opportunity eventually," Zhang Yuting murmured.

Zhang Yuting vanished from the spot in a flash.

He was five or six years older than Zhang Mazi, but Zhang Yuting was more talented and more cunning and treacherous, unlike Zhang Mazi who was reckless.

Although he disliked his brother's shameless behavior, the blood ties between brothers were unbreakable.

Now that Zhang Mazi has mysteriously disappeared and is very likely dead, Zhang Yuting will not let this go.

However, he is ruthless. If he finds an opportunity, he will kill Chen Yi in one fell swoop and then destroy the body to prevent anyone from finding any fault with him.

The cultivators who are currently opposing Zhang Yuting have all quietly disappeared.

Chen Yi returned to his room, his face extremely pale.

After a moment's thought, he immediately realized that this person was related to Zhao Junri or Zhang Mazi.

After all, Chen Yi only had a rift with the two of them, and they were the only ones who could monitor him without any reason.

"Phew, Qi Refining Stage 8."

"Even with the assistance of spirit insects, I'm afraid..." Chen Yi's face was ashen.

He himself is at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and the Azure Spirit Devouring Insect swarm can deal with cultivators at the seventh level of Qi Refining. Even if the swarm mutates, it might be able to hold off cultivators at the eighth or ninth level of Qi Refining.

However, Chen Yi sensed that this person was completely different from Zhao Junri and Zhang Mazi.

"It seems I need to prepare early and find someone to investigate," Chen Yi thought to himself.

Chen Yi did not panic; he did not believe the other party would dare to make a move in the market.

Moreover, he had already become Master Zhou's disciple, and with that status, he didn't believe the other party would dare to act recklessly.

"If I can create the Poison Cloud Spirit Transformation Array, I'll have a place to protect my life," Chen Yi thought to himself.

Once you possess insect swarms and formations, you can fight against multiple enemies, and you may even be able to win against enemies with higher cultivation levels.

Thinking of this, Chen Yi took out a set of array plates and array flags.

After calming himself down, he sketched the patterns of the Spirit Gathering Array on the yellow paper.

After several successful attempts, he took the spirit brush and began to draw array runes on the array plate.

Chen Yi calmed himself down and drew three array runes on the array plate in one go.

The spirit-gathering array on the array plate emitted a few rays of light; the spirit-gathering array was successfully created!

He then took out spirit stones, a jade array plate, and a nine-purple fire array flag from his storage bag.

With a thought, Chen Yi enveloped the offerings in front of him in golden light.

The next moment, Chen Yi was pulled into a strange space.

A fairy dressed in colorful clothes, looking heroic and dashing, appeared in mid-air.

She was draped in a nine-colored cloud-patterned robe, her body enveloped in auspicious seven-colored clouds, and the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden pointed at Chen Yi.

The next moment, Chen Yi was enveloped in auspicious, seven-colored clouds. He opened his eyes and found himself in the courtyard.

A shrine covered his head, inside which was a lifelike statue of the Goddess of the Nine Heavens.

"The blessing effect of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden," Chen Yi murmured to himself.

In an instant, several lines of golden characters appeared before his eyes.

[Blessing of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden: Success rate of drawing first-tier array patterns +20%, drawing speed +20%, and reduction of array spiritual power consumption]

[Exclusive Passive Skill: Exquisite Insight, Profound Understanding of Array Formations]

Chen Yi felt a surge of profound meaning in his mind, and his understanding of the array patterns deepened.

"I'll familiarize myself with the array patterns of the Poison Cloud Spirit Transformation Array first, and then ask my master for guidance later," Chen Yi thought to himself.

He originally intended to inform Master Zhou about this matter, but since the other party hadn't taken any action, and was merely monitoring, they couldn't very well take the initiative to attack the person they were monitoring.

Chen Yi was secretly delighted, knowing that activating the blessing of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden would greatly increase his speed of learning formations.

For several days in a row, Chen Yi kept sketching array patterns in his room.

The Poison Cloud Spirit Transformation Array is made up of nine array patterns, which are quite difficult to draw.

Even a talented array master would need two to three years to master the Poison Cloud Spirit Transformation Array.

Despite the blessing of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, Chen Yi has not been able to complete the sketch in the past few days.

"Phew, it's a pity that the blessing effect only increases the probability of successfully drawing array patterns."

"If we could directly increase the probability of drawing formations, that would be invincible," Chen Yi sighed inwardly.

Chen Yi put down his writing brush and lay down on a cool chair in the courtyard to rest.

He had just closed his eyes when a knock sounded on the door.
