Cultivating Immortality: Beginning with Blessings from the Immortals

Old Qin didn't take the insect swarm seriously; they couldn't do anything to him.

Once Deng Liangyu is dealt with, killing Chen Yi will be as easy as crushing an ant.

He brandished the black sail, instantly shattering the surrounding poisonous insects, and at the same time turned around to prepare to continue attacking Deng Liangyu.

At that moment, several purple-winged centipedes darted out of the soil and headed straight for Old Qin's head.

Upon seeing this, Deng Liangyu immediately manipulated the ancient jade disc, slashing horizontally at Elder Qin. At the same time, he threw several talismans at him, which transformed into purple lightning in mid-air and flew towards the black sail in Elder Qin's hand.

Black smoke billowed around Qin Lao, who paid no attention to the Purple Winged Centipede and focused all his energy on defending against Deng Liangyu's attack.

The purple-winged centipede rushed up to Elder Qin and then self-destructed.

In an instant, several wisps of pale golden powder, unnoticed, drifted down onto the other person.

"Great!" Chen Yi said with delight.

He didn't stop there; instead, he took out array plates and array flags and immediately set them up behind the two men.

The array plate of the Yin-Yang Wind and Thunder Array instantly merged into the ground, and several array flags flew out in all directions.

"Two Elements Wind and Thunder Formation, activate!" Chen Yi roared, instantly activating the formation.

In an instant, the array barrier rose up.

With Chen Yi fully activating the formation, the area within a radius of thirty meters was enveloped by it.

Both Deng Liangyu and Qin Lao, who were fighting, showed surprise on their faces.

The next moment, countless wind blades and lightning bolts attacked Elder Qin.

The Yin-Yang Wind and Thunder Formation is a top-tier first-order formation; when fully activated, it can block cultivators in the early stages of Foundation Establishment.

The once imposing Old Qin gradually lost his aura.

"Brother Deng!" Chen Yi reminded Deng Liangyu while manipulating the formation.

Deng Liangyu understood immediately and used all his magical weapons to rush towards Elder Qin.

At the same time, Chen Yi took all the scales of the Golden Cloud Illusion Butterfly from his storage bag and used the power of the formation to send them towards Elder Qin.

Upon seeing this, Deng Liangyu took out a golden talisman from his pocket.

She immediately channeled all the spiritual energy in her body into it, as she hadn't been able to use it while fighting Elder Qin.

Now Chen Yi is using the formation to hold off Elder Qin, and she plans to kill him in one fell swoop with the help of the talisman.

As Deng Liangyu channeled spiritual energy into the golden talisman, it burst forth with dazzling light.

Seeing this, Elder Qin naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait to die. The black smoke around him intensified once more as he charged out again, his eyes fixed on the wind blades and lightning.

Chen Yi manipulated the power of the formation, and bursts of pale golden scales rushed towards Elder Qin from all directions.

Old Qin waved the black sail, stirring up plumes of black smoke. Most of the scales were scattered by him, but a small portion still landed on him.

"Hmph, do you think ordinary poisons can work on me?" Old Qin said mockingly.

Just as he was about to act, he felt a wave of dizziness wash over him.

"What?!" Old Qin was both shocked and furious.

In this state, his Yin energy grants him immunity to most poisons. However, what Elder Qin was unaware of was that the scales of the Golden Cloud Illusion Butterfly, in a sense, are not considered poison.

Before Old Qin could react, the scene before him changed drastically.

He felt as if he had returned to his youth, when his cultivation had long since broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, and he was surrounded by clansmen who had come to congratulate him.

Qin Lao instantly realized something was wrong and fully activated his spiritual energy and Yin energy.

The scene before my eyes gradually distorted, and then my vision returned to normal.

At this moment, Deng Liangyu had already activated the golden sword talisman.

A flying sword, about ten feet long and radiating golden light, suddenly pierced towards Elder Qin.

Before Elder Qin could react, the golden sword pierced through his chest and abdomen, and bursts of golden sword energy erupted suddenly.

Qin Lao was instantly riddled with holes, and the spiritual energy and black smoke around him suddenly dissipated.

"You, you all..." Old Qin died before he could finish speaking.

Upon seeing this, Deng Liangyu smiled, but her face was terribly pale.

Chen Yi immediately deactivated the Yin-Yang Wind and Thunder Formation, and put the formation plate and flags into his storage bag.

He looked at the two swarms of insects on the ground and couldn't help but show a look of regret.

Only one-third of the Azure Spirit Devouring Insects remain; it will take a long time to restore them to their former size.

There were originally more than twenty purple-winged centipedes, but now there are less than ten left.

Chen Yi sighed and immediately moved to Deng Liangyu's side.

He stepped forward to support the swaying Deng Liangyu and asked:

"Brother Deng, are you alright?"

Deng Liangyu immediately took out a pill and swallowed it, weakly saying:

"Let's leave here first. The battle here might attract monsters and spirit insects."

Chen Yi immediately carried Deng Liangyu on his back and went to Qin Lao to collect his storage bag and magic artifacts.

He immediately slipped away from the spot, his figure constantly weaving through the trunk of the giant tree.

Chen Yi dared not linger and only stopped when the sky began to lighten.

The two had left in such a hurry that they hadn't even had time to pack up the tent. He had no choice but to put Deng Liangyu down and cut down many branches and leaves to cover them.

Fortunately, the lush vegetation in Luoyun Valley provided a natural barrier for the two of them.

At this moment, Deng Liangyu fell into a coma again.

Chen Yi sighed inwardly, took out the Yin-Yang Wind and Thunder Formation, set up the formation, and let it run on its own.

He took the elixir and sat on the ground to meditate and regulate his breathing.

Several hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Yi slowly opened his eyes, and most of the damage to his internal meridians had been restored.

Deng Liangyu was also sitting cross-legged next to him, and it was clear that he had woken up while Chen Yi was meditating.

Chen Yi recalled what Qin Lao and Zhang Yuting had said; the other party had actually referred to Deng Liangyu as a woman.

He couldn't help but step forward and take a closer look. Whether it was psychological or not, he did feel that Deng Liangyu's appearance was somewhat feminine.

As Chen Yi recalled the feeling of carrying him on his back, his resolve hardened.

He saw that Deng Liangyu was still meditating, so he didn't want to disturb her.

Chen Yi took out Zhang Yuting's storage bag and began to examine it. After a moment, a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.

Zhang Yuting is an eighth-level Qi Refining cultivator and a guard of the Fengyu Chamber of Commerce, so he is naturally much wealthier than independent cultivators.

His storage bag contained five or six thousand low-grade spirit stones, several bottles of precious pills, and two Qi Refining stage magic artifacts.

There are also five or six medicinal herbs and spiritual plants that are hundreds of years old, and the rest are some spells and cultivation techniques.

In addition, Chen Yi discovered several strange items that emitted black smoke.

Among them were several bottles of pills emitting black smoke, a crystal-clear black crystal, and several broken jade slips.

Chen Yi dared not touch them and placed them separately in a storage bag.

As for Elder Qin's storage bag, Chen Yi planned to open it after Deng Liangyu woke up, since he was the one who killed Elder Qin.

Soon, night fell.

Chen Yi leaned against the tree trunk, closed his eyes to rest, while keeping some of his attention focused on controlling the formation and keeping an eye on the surrounding movements.

The next day, early in the morning.

Sunlight filtered through the lush foliage, and Deng Liangyu slowly opened her eyes, exhaling a breath of stale air.

"call."

He immediately noticed Chen Yi, who was guarding him, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

"Brother Chen, I am fine now," Deng Liangyu said.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi suddenly opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Deng Liangyu had woken up.

As long as Deng Liangyu is alive, they can safely return to the market. After all, he is the young master of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, possessing numerous talismans and magical artifacts.

"Brother Deng, I'm so glad you're alright."

"Zhang Yuting and Old Qin are both dead. I think there's more to their story."
