Cultivating Immortality: Beginning with Blessings from the Immortals

Chen Yi suddenly opened his eyes and immediately got up to look at the courtyard gate.

He became somewhat wary and did not open the door immediately. Through the crack in the door, he saw that it was Wei Wufeng outside.

Chen Yi opened the door, and Wei Wufeng, dressed in a purple robe, entered the courtyard.

"Brother Wei, what brings you here?!" Chen Yi said.

Wei Wufeng stepped into the courtyard, a solemn expression on his face, and began to speak.

"Chen Yi, I wonder if you've been followed by others these days."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi immediately realized what was happening and told Wei Wufeng about being followed a few days ago.

"Brother Wei, I think it might be Zhang Mazi or Zhao Junri's men," Chen Yi said, voicing his suspicion.

Wei Wufeng nodded slightly and said:

"I asked someone to investigate these past few days, and I actually found something out."

"Zhang Mazi has an elder brother named Zhang Yuting, who is a member of the Fengyu Chamber of Commerce and has a cultivation level of the eighth level of Qi Refining."

Chen Yi's heart tightened. Few dared to provoke a cultivator at the eighth level of the Qi Refining stage in the market. Even without Foundation Establishment stage experts showing up, cultivators at the eighth or ninth level of the Qi Refining stage were already a formidable force in the market.

"Fengyu Chamber of Commerce? Could this person be..." Chen Yi looked surprised.

The Fengyu Chamber of Commerce is quite famous in Tianlingzong Market, and its influence extends to three or four surrounding markets.

Wei Wufeng snorted coldly and said:

"Rumor has it that the person behind the Fengyu Chamber of Commerce is an elder of the Tianling Sect, but their actions..."

Chen Yi looked thoughtful; he had naturally heard of the Fengyu Chamber of Commerce's reputation. However, many cultivators had spread rumors that the Fengyu Chamber of Commerce engaged in some acts of forced buying and selling.

Furthermore, the Fengyu Chamber of Commerce has also established a spirit stone bank in the market, which lends spirit stones to rogue cultivators on a regular basis, but the interest rates are ridiculously high.

"Brother Wei, does this mean Zhang Yuting has already become suspicious of us?" Chen Yi said in a deep voice.

Wei Wufeng waved his jade fan and said calmly:

"Suspicion? I think he must believe that we killed Zhang Mazi."

"This person is treacherous and ruthless, acting without question. We must both be very careful. I'll find someone to see if this matter can be resolved."

Chen Yi felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing Wei Wufeng's words. Fortunately, he still had Wei Wufeng to trust since he transmigrated.

Wei Wufeng then changed the subject, mentioning his younger sister, Wei Xueqing.

"I've already taken her to see a renowned doctor for treatment, and perhaps she'll be fully recovered by the next time I see her."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi offered his heartfelt congratulations. Wei Xueqing possessed a mutated spiritual root, and if she could embark on the path of cultivation again, she would surely succeed in establishing her foundation.

After giving Chen Yi a few words of advice, Wei Wufeng turned and left, while Chen Yi resumed his diligent cultivation.

He purchased medicinal herbs, spiritual plants, and cultivation pills, and began a period of secluded cultivation using the Blazing Sun Furnace Technique.

Chen Yi draws array patterns during the day and cultivates his techniques at night, occasionally taking time to care for the spirit fields and spirit insects.

The next day, early in the morning.

Chen Yi dressed neatly and headed to the outer gate of the Tianling Sect again. As soon as he left his small courtyard on the street, he could feel the faint surveillance gazes around him.

"Hmph, have they been having someone monitor me all this time?" Chen Yi thought to himself.

He walked forward calmly. He was still in the market, and the other party would not make a move easily.

Chen Yi's figure flickered, and the faint surveillance gaze that had been following him disappeared.

The surveillance only ceased once he entered the outer gate of the Heavenly Spirit Sect. Chen Yi turned to look back, a cold glint in his eyes.

Regardless of the other party's purpose, he hates being secretly monitored by others the most.

Chen Yi stepped into the school, where many cultivators had already gathered.

Some cultivators greeted Chen Yi upon seeing him.

Chen Yi has an extremely high talent for array formations. Although his cultivation level is relatively low, he is still worth befriending and winning over.

Not far away, Deng Liangyu and Yang Liren were chatting animatedly. Chen Yi naturally saw the two of them, but noticed that Zhao Junri was nowhere to be seen.

After everyone waited in the courtyard for a while, Master Zhou and another array master entered the courtyard.

Master Zhou and another array master approached Chen Yi. Master Zhou, his face glowing, began to speak:

"Old Ghost, this is my newly accepted apprentice."

"Although his cultivation level is still low, his talent is extremely high. He may surpass you and me in the future."

After hearing Master Zhou's words, Old Ghost's eyes fell on Chen Yi and he looked him up and down.

Chen Yi felt a powerful divine sense descend upon him, as if it wanted to see through his secrets.

Master Zhou snorted coldly, and Chen Yi instantly felt his body lighten, as the divine sense enveloping him disappeared leisurely.

"Hmph, don't even think about it. Yang Liren's talent is quite good." Master Zhou said.

At this moment, Yang Liren and Deng Liangyu also came to them.

When Yang Liren saw Master Zhou and Chen Yi together, a strange look flashed in his eyes.

Old Ghost beckoned Yang Liren to come to their midst and said:

"My disciple is quite talented in formations. You young people should learn from him and exchange techniques with him in the future."

Master Zhou laughed heartily, pulled Chen Yi aside, and said confidently:

"Although my disciple has only recently entered the realm of formations, he may surpass your disciple in the future."

Yang Liren's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and he looked at Chen Yi with a colder expression.

"Alright, enough with the nonsense, let's get to class," Master Zhou said.

Master Zhou and Old Ghost each led their cultivators into the school.

Chen Yi followed closely, thinking that he could ask Master Zhou for guidance on the Poison Cloud Spirit Transformation Array after class. If he could get his guidance and with the blessing of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, he might be able to successfully draw the array patterns.

Master Zhou secretly transmitted his voice to Chen Yi, instructing him to hold an apprenticeship ceremony after class. Chen Yi secretly nodded in agreement.

Soon, the sun began to set.

After the group of cultivators left the school, only Chen Yi and Master Zhou remained.

"Disciple greets Master." Chen Yi clasped his hands in a gesture of respect.

Master Zhou waved his hand and said, "Alright, there's no need for such formalities between us, master and disciple."

"I will guide you through the formal apprenticeship ceremony. Our lineage has always maintained this tradition."

Master Zhou led Chen Yi outside, and the two went deep into the outer gate of the Tianling Sect, passing through the long corridor and courtyard to a large courtyard in front of them.

Chen Yi learned from Master Zhou that this was the residence assigned to him by the Tianling Sect, and that there was a small spiritual spring inside that was very beneficial to cultivation.

Master Zhou's family also often lived here, using the sacred spring to prolong their lives.

As soon as Chen Yi pushed open the courtyard gate, he immediately felt the rich spiritual energy coming towards him.

As soon as the two entered the courtyard, servants came to attend to them.

"Young Chen, your teacher's wife's cooking is absolutely delicious."

"Although we cultivators can abstain from grains, you definitely shouldn't miss this opportunity," Master Zhou said with a smile.

Chen Yi followed Master Zhou to the main hall, where a woman dressed in a brocade robe was waiting for them.

Chen Yi immediately stepped forward to bow, but the woman in the brocade robe told him that he didn't need to be so polite.

Master Zhou and Chen Yi were exchanging their insights on formations in the main hall, while Master Zhou's wife and servants were preparing a meal.

"Master, I want to create the Poison Cloud Spirit Transformation Array. Do you know anything about the mysteries of this array?" Chen Yi asked.
