Cultivating Immortality: Beginning with Blessings from the Immortals

Standing on Deng Liangyu's flying artifact, Chen Yi couldn't help but become wary of his surroundings.

Lin Ling'er and the others also rode in flying magical artifacts, traveling side by side with Deng Liangyu and Chen Yi.

Chen Yi glanced to the side and noticed that Zhang Yuting was also secretly sizing him up.

"As expected!" Chen Yi calmly withdrew his gaze; the other party indeed dared not let the matter rest.

He had been on guard against the other party, but so far nothing seemed amiss. However, in an emergency, there was no guarantee that the other party wouldn't strike from the shadows.

Soon, the group arrived at a small lake.

Chen Yi looked ahead and saw that the lake was covered with duckweed and lotus flowers.

The white jade flower is quite special; it lives in the silt at the bottom of the river during the day and only rises to the surface at night to absorb the essence of the moon.

The group stood on the flying artifact and waited for a moment, as the bright moonlight scattered across the water.

Before long, one after another, pure white flowers rose from the water.

"This is the White Jade Flower?!" Chen Yi stared intently at the water's surface.

The petals of the white jade flower slowly opened, revealing a pure white jade fruit radiating a glow in the center.

At that moment, many magical insects suddenly rose from the lotus flowers and duckweed.

These dark green swarms of insects immediately flew towards the white jade flowers, where they drank the nectar contained in the flower stamens.

"Attack!" Deng Liangyu gave the order, and everyone immediately took action.

Qin Lao, Zhang Yuting, and others took action, and many insect-catching nets rushed towards the swarm of insects in an instant.

Deng Liangyu, Chen Yi, Lin Ling'er, and the others rode their wind-powered magical artifacts toward Bai Yuhua.

Chen Yi immediately took action, using his spiritual energy to sweep up the white jade fruit and put it into his storage bag.

However, before they could pick for long, the calm water surface began to surge like boiling water.

"Watch out!!" Chen Yi immediately warned.

Without hesitation, he led Deng Liangyu backward, holding the Golden Bell Talisman and the ancient bronze mirror in his hands.

The Golden Bell Talisman was activated instantly, and a golden bell materialized, enveloping the two of them.

"Clang clang clang"

A crisp clanging sound rang out, and the golden bell rippled.

Chen Yi stared intently ahead, his face showing surprise.

It turned out that the attackers were silver fish, which charged at them fearlessly.

"Oh no, it's a six-eyed flying fish!!" Deng Liangyu exclaimed in surprise.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi's expression turned somewhat strange, and he couldn't help but chuckle. But as he looked down more closely, he realized that Deng Liangyu's words were no joke.

These silverfish are only the size of a palm, but their scales are exceptionally hard and their teeth are incredibly sharp. When they gather in groups, they can even kill Foundation Establishment cultivators.

At the same time, many spirit insects attacked them from all around.

Seeing this, Chen Yi no longer held back and immediately opened the insect-rearing bag, saying:

"Brother Deng, I'll hold them off. You all hurry and pick the white jade fruit."

Chen Yi used his insect control technique, and countless Azure Spirit Devouring Insects immediately rushed out of the insect-rearing bag.

The swarm of insects immediately began to swirl around the group, constantly devouring the silver fish and spirit insects that came towards them.

However, there were many spirit insects and silver fish around, so the Azure Spirit Devouring Insect swarm couldn't hold out for long.

Deng Liangyu, Lin Ling'er, and the others immediately set to work, picking the white jade fruits around them.

There were many white jade flowers on the lake, and even with their combined efforts, they could only pick about one-tenth of them.

While controlling the insect swarm, Chen Yi was also keeping an eye on the situation of Elder Qin, Zhang Yuting, and others.

They also continuously captured spirit insects on the periphery to prevent too many spirit insects from affecting Deng Liangyu and others.

At that moment, Chen Yi suddenly felt a sense of unease.

Before he could even realize that something was wrong, the water suddenly exploded.

In an instant, countless streams of water shot into the sky.

A powerful and oppressive aura instantly enveloped the entire lake, causing the surrounding spirit insects and silver fish to panic.

Chen Yi felt a chill run down his spine and immediately sensed a dense demonic aura.

He gripped the golden bell talisman and the ancient bronze mirror tightly, and immediately activated the talisman and initiated the ritual.

The golden bell on his body instantly solidified, and a round moon shield materialized, also protecting Chen Yi in front of him.

"A late-stage second-tier demonic beast?!" Deng Liangyu exclaimed in surprise.

Before anyone could react, a dark figure suddenly attacked Deng Liangyu and the others.

Just as Chen Yi was about to speak to remind them, Deng Liangyu, Lin Ling'er, and the others were blasted away by the black shadow.

"Brother Deng!" Chen Yi was startled and immediately went to greet him.

The flying artifact beneath Deng Liangyu was flung away, and his body was about to fall into the water.

Chen Yi activated the Fire Lotus Boat's burst power, transforming into a streak of light as he rushed to Deng Liangyu's side, embracing him and retreating backward.

At the same time, he was able to see the shadowy figure's face clearly.

The monster that attacked them turned out to be a giant python with a deep blue body.

Chen Yi helped Deng Liangyu up and noticed that a few drops of blood were trickling from the corner of his mouth. Clearly, the attack had injured his internal organs.

"Let's go!" Deng Liangyu said.

Chen Yi urged the Fire Lotus Boat to its full potential, transforming it into a streak of crimson light as it retreated.

Lin Ling'er, Elder Qin, Zhang Yuting, and the others immediately retreated and fled the scene in their flying magical artifacts.

Chen Yi turned to look at the deep blue python behind him, and its name immediately came to mind: Azure Shadow Flood Dragon.

The group flew away in their flying magical artifacts, but the azure shadow dragon relentlessly pursued them.

Surrounded by swamps and streams, it moved faster in the water than even a flying artifact.

"Fly upwards and shake it off," Chen Yi immediately reminded him.

He steered the Fire Lotus Boat ever higher, trying to shake off the Azure Shadow Dragon. The others followed suit, constantly increasing their altitude.

However, many spirit insects gathered overhead and attacked them as well.

Moreover, the azure shadow dragon beneath it let out a long roar, and countless streams of water gathered beneath it, actually lifting it into the air.

Chen Yi's pupils contracted; the Azure Shadow Dragon, despite its advantageous position, was unable to shake off the creature.

At that moment, the Azure Shadow Dragon gathered its demonic energy and opened its massive maw, aiming it at the crowd.

The next moment, countless ice spikes shot towards the crowd like meteors.

Chen Yi immediately activated the Golden Bell Talisman and the ancient bronze mirror with all his might, and the golden bell and the full moon instantly burst forth with a burst of light.

Instantly, ice spikes slammed into the protective shield.

The once sturdy golden bell and full moon shield instantly developed cracks.

Chen Yi was secretly alarmed; he had somewhat underestimated the attack power of a second-tier demonic beast. The two protective shields couldn't even last a few seconds.

Deng Liangyu suddenly reached out and put her arm around Chen Yi's shoulder to support her body.

He took out a seven-colored talisman from his pocket, and a surge of powerful spiritual energy instantly poured out of it.

Seven-colored talismans floated above the two people's heads, and a huge seven-colored lotus phantom enveloped them, then gradually solidified.

Chen Yi's Golden Bell and Full Moon Shield instantly shattered into fragments, and the Golden Bell Talisman instantly turned to ashes.

Chen Yi couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache, not expecting that the Golden Bell Talisman would be used up so quickly.

However, the seven-colored lotus was incredibly resilient and instantly blocked the ice spikes' attack.

However, the others were not so lucky. Apart from Elder Qin, Lin Ling'er and the others blocked the ice spikes with their magical artifacts and cultivation.

The Qi Refining stage guards were all hit; their protective magic artifacts and talismans were no match for the ice spikes.

"This, this is a talisman!?" Chen Yi exclaimed in surprise.

Talisman treasures are made by Golden Core cultivators using their natal magic treasures, possessing one-tenth to one-twentieth of their power.

The number of ice spikes gradually decreased, but Chen Yi discovered that the figure of the Azure Shadow Dragon had disappeared.

Before he could react, the water beneath them exploded again.
