Cultivating Immortality: Beginning with Blessings from the Immortals

"Eight hundred low-grade spirit stones," the servant said.

Chen Yi was shocked to hear this. He hadn't expected that a Qi Refining stage flying magic artifact would cost eight hundred low-grade spirit stones.

Seeing the look of surprise on Chen Yi's face, the waiter immediately explained:

"Honorable guest, flying artifacts for Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages are always very expensive, and this Fire Lotus Boat has additional functions."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi gritted his teeth, took out spirit stones, and bought the flying magic artifact.

Deng Liangyu originally gave him a thousand low-grade spirit stones, but in the blink of an eye, he only had two hundred left.

However, since flying artifacts are a means of survival, Chen Yi naturally wouldn't be stingy with spirit stones in this regard.

Chen Yi left the Treasure Pavilion, eager to return to the courtyard.

Flying was prohibited for cultivators within the market, except for Golden Core stage experts and Nascent Soul stage elders. Chen Yi had no choice but to suppress his excitement and return to his courtyard.

He took out the Fire Lotus Boat from his storage bag and immediately took flight in the courtyard.

Although the courtyard wasn't large, he still got to experience the feeling of flying. This sensation was so novel to him that Chen Yi found it somewhat addictive.

Chen Yi has been piloting the Fire Lotus Boat in the courtyard these past few days, and he certainly wasn't doing it purely for fun.

In the future, when encountering emergencies, he will need to be proficient in piloting the flying artifact, so Chen Yi naturally needs to master this flying artifact.

……

"Hmm, is this the Fire Breath Earth?"

Chen Yi looked at the dark red soil in the spirit field and noticed wisps of heat rising from it.

He immediately began cultivating the land, planting the seeds of Warm Jade Red Rice in the Fire Breath Soil.

The two swarms of silver-winged yellow shadow insects and scaly-winged ground insects immediately flew into the fire-breath soil to begin cultivating the spirit field.

Soon, Chen Yi noticed something was amiss.

The two swarms of insects seemed to be unaccustomed to the fire-breathing earth, with some of the spirit insects conveying a sense of unease.

With a thought, Chen Yi immediately sent them back to their insect enclosure.

Fire-breath soil is a type of soil with fire attributes, and only fire-attribute spirit insects can adapt to it.

Chen Yi sighed inwardly. He probably didn't have enough spirit stones to buy other spirit insects, and Deng Liangyu hadn't asked him to cultivate insect eggs again.

"I can only wait until I go to Wanling Mountain to see if I can find a suitable spirit insect," Chen Yi thought to himself.

After tending to the spirit fields and spirit insects for a few days, he went into seclusion to cultivate again.

A month later, a heat wave erupted in Chen Yi's room.

With a creak, Chen Yi's door opened leisurely.

He rushed into the courtyard shirtless and let out a long howl.

After a month of arduous training, he finally broke through to the fifth level of the Qi Refining stage. Chen Yi sensed the increase in spiritual energy within his body and couldn't help but feel secretly delighted.

"We have one more month to stabilize our cultivation before starting to practice formations."

Chen Yi took out the jade slip, array plate, and array flags, and immediately began to study them diligently.

He can now easily create spirit-gathering arrays, but successfully drawing a poison cloud spirit-transforming array is still very difficult.

Chen Yi had been studying the Yin-Yang Wind and Thunder Formation, and he wanted to learn how to control it as soon as possible. Now he had made some progress and could focus on drawing the array patterns for the Poison Cloud Spirit Transformation Formation.

Chen Yi took out a piece of yellow paper taller than a person and immediately began to draw array patterns in the room.

After an unknown amount of time, his room was filled with discarded yellow paper.

Chen Yi put down his writing brush and let out a long sigh of relief. He felt a slight tingling sensation in his head and had to start resting.

He glanced at the calendar and ritual implements, and realized that more than twenty days had passed without him noticing.

"Oh my god, I almost missed the time." Chen Yi looked surprised.

If he hadn't planned to rest for a few days, he probably would have missed his appointment with Deng Liangyu.

Chen Yi found himself somewhat obsessed with cultivating immortality, perhaps due to the pressure he felt from Zhang Yuting's situation.

"call"

Chen Yi let out a long sigh of relief. Recalling the past few years since he transmigrated, he felt as if he had completely adapted to this world, and his behavior was exactly the same as that of a cultivator.

As he lay in bed, he couldn't help but recall his past life on Earth, and he felt a sense of disorientation.

"Going to Wanling Mountain would be good, just to experience another way of life," Chen Yi thought to himself.

A few days later, Chen Yi left the courtyard dressed neatly.

He went straight to Baibaoge as agreed with Deng Liangyu.

"I've brought the Blazing Sun Sword, the Fire Lotus Boat, talismans, pills, and spirit insects." Chen Yi secretly checked the items in his storage bag.

This time, he was truly going into Wanling Mountain to search for spiritual plants and insects, so he naturally had to be well-prepared.

Before long, Chen Yi arrived at the Treasure Pavilion.

The servant led him into a private room to wait, while Chen Yi continued to study the Poison Cloud Spirit Transformation Array with the jade slip in hand.

A moment later, the door opened.

Deng Liangyu led several cultivators into the private room and greeted Chen Yi upon seeing him.

Chen Yi immediately stood up in response, while looking at the cultivators behind Deng Liangyu.

One of the old men was the Foundation Establishment cultivator who had accompanied him last time.

"Chen Yi, let me introduce Xie to you."

"This is Elder Qin, the elder my father sent to protect us. The others are all guards from the Deng family, and they're traveling with us," Deng Liangyu introduced.

Chen Yi immediately clasped his hands in a salute and also introduced himself.

He noticed that Elder Qin seemed to be a cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, while the other four guards were all cultivators at the eighth or ninth level of Qi Refining.

Elder Qin and several guards were also secretly observing Chen Yi. When they realized that he was only a cultivator at the fifth level of the Qi Refining stage, they were secretly alarmed.

Chen Yi felt somewhat helpless, as his cultivation level was indeed relatively low.

Deng Liangyu gave Chen Yi a map of Wanling Mountain and asked him to familiarize himself with it before explaining some precautions to take after entering Wanling Mountain.

An hour later, Deng Liangyu led Chen Yisu and others out of Baibaoge and headed straight for the north gate of the market.

Chen Yi learned from Deng Liangyu that there was another team on this trip to Wanling Mountain.

Before long, the group arrived at the north gate of the market.

Chen Yi and Deng Liangyu started chatting, asking each other for advice on raising spirit insects and formations.

Deng Liangyu has some talent in formations, but not as much as Chen Yi and Yang Liren. However, she is also an insect tamer with extensive experience in raising spirit insects.

If Chen Yi hadn't possessed the blessing of the Insect God, he would certainly have been inferior to his opponent.

After the two chatted for a while, several powerful auras appeared behind them.

"Liangyu, it's been a long time. Congratulations on breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage." A gentle female voice rang out.

Chen Yi turned around and saw a woman in a yellow-green robe leading several cultivators toward them.

When Deng Liangyu saw the woman smiling, he immediately went to greet her warmly.

"Ling'er, it's been a long time." Deng Liangyu looked delighted and stepped forward to hug her.

Chen Yi secretly observed the woman and the cultivators she brought, and his expression turned to surprise when he saw the appearance of one of them.

"What's going on? It's him!" Chen Yi was secretly shocked and immediately hid behind Elder Qin and the others.

The reason was simple: this person was the same one who had been spying on him outside his courtyard.

After Wei Wufeng secretly investigated Zhang Yuting and reviewed the portrait and information previously provided to Zhang Yuting, Chen Yi was 100% certain that this person was indeed Zhang Yuting.

"Why is Zhang Yuting here? Could it be...?"
