Cultivating Immortality: Beginning with Blessings from the Immortals

Chen Yi recalled Wei Wufeng's changes and his heart sank.

Wei Wufeng's demeanor had changed significantly compared to before. The righteous aura he once exuded had vanished, replaced by a sinister air.

"Could he have been affected by this magical artifact?" Chen Yi wondered to himself.

Deng Liangyu suggested that Chen Yi give the purple jade hairpin to Baibaoge so that it could be completely purified before returning it to him.

Chen Yi naturally accepted the other party's suggestion and planned to go to Wei Wufeng after returning to the market.

The two rested against a tree trunk, chatting about matters related to spiritual practice.

Chen Yi caught a whiff of Deng Liangyu's delicate fragrance and couldn't help but think of Zhang Yuting's words.

"Ahem, Brother Deng, could it be that you really are..." Chen Yi asked.

Upon hearing this, Deng Liangyu paused for a moment, coughed a few times, and changed the subject.

Upon seeing the other person's appearance, Chen Yi became even more certain of his own belief: Deng Liangyu was indeed a woman disguised as a man.

Night had fallen, and the two took turns keeping watch.

The next day, early in the morning.

Chen Yi and Deng Liangyu continued on their way, not using any flying artifacts, but relying on their physical strength to traverse the dense forest.

Chen Yi kept a close eye on his surroundings. The numerous spirit insects in Luoyun Valley made him feel somewhat dazzled.

If he could capture these spirit insects, he would be able to dominate the Qi Refining stage.

Unfortunately, who knows when he'll be able to enter Wanling Mountain again. Chen Yi plans to wait until he breaks through to the high level of the Qi Refining stage before making any plans to enter Wanling Mountain.

There are countless spirit insects in Wanling Mountain, which can quickly improve one's strength, and can also be hatched and sold for money.

……

Three days later, a streak of light flew swiftly to the north gate of the market.

Deng Liangyu, riding a flying magical artifact, successfully left Wanling Mountain and returned to the market with Chen Yi.

Chen Yi looked at the tall city gate of the market and let out a long sigh of relief.

These past few days have made him feel like he's in another world, and Chen Yi never expected that his trip to Wanling Mountain would be so full of twists and turns.

"Brother Deng, thank you very much for this trip," Chen Yi said sincerely.

Deng Liangyu smiled calmly, took out a storage bag and handed it to Chen Yi, saying:

"There are iron fire ant eggs, fire-breathing soil, and more than fifty white jade fruits in here."

A hint of joy flashed in Chen Yi's eyes, and he put the storage bag into his arms.

"Take some time to rest and then come see me again. I will reward you handsomely," Deng Liangyu said with a smile.

Chen Yi nodded emphatically, and in a flash, he rushed towards his small courtyard.

A moment later, Chen Yi pushed open the courtyard gate.

He first checked the security measures inside the courtyard and only felt relieved after confirming that there were no abnormalities.

Chen Yi immediately returned to his room, took off his clothes, washed himself, and then lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Yi opened his eyes, and the gentle sunlight shone on him.

Chen Yi got up and stretched, his bones cracking slightly.

He turned his head and glanced at the timekeeping artifact; he had slept for a whole day and night.

Chen Yi immediately sat down to meditate and regulate his breathing, restoring himself to his peak condition.

He felt that his trip to Wanling Mountain had stabilized his cultivation level to the fifth level of the Qi Refining stage.

Chen Yi, concerned about the situation of the spirit insects and spirit field in the backyard, pushed open the backyard gate.

At this moment, a small portion of the Warm Jade Red Rice has matured.

A unique fragrance and warmth spread outwards. Chen Yi quickly stepped forward to check on the condition of the spirit field.

He reached out and picked up a few grains of warm jade red rice, then put them in his mouth and savored them carefully.

The next moment, the warm jade red rice transformed into several wisps of warm current, and a faint spiritual energy burst forth in the mouth.

"Not bad! The quality is even higher than that of Jade Dew Fragrant Rice." Chen Yi was secretly amazed.

He immediately took out the Fire Breath Soil from his storage bag and spread it all over the spirit field.

Chen Yi got busy again, putting the seeds of Warm Jade Red Rice into the soil and immediately watering and fertilizing them.

Although the two insect colonies were not adapted to the Fire-Breathed Soil, they still tried their best to cultivate Warm Jade Red Rice.

Chen Yi went to the insect house again, where dozens more Golden Cloud Butterflies had successfully hatched, and more than a dozen more mature Golden Cloud Butterflies had emerged.

He took out his insect-rearing bag, and Deng Liangyu gave him over a thousand fire ant eggs.

Having lost many Azure Spirit Devouring Insects and Purple Winged Centipedes, he urgently needs other spirit insects to replenish his power.

If these thousands of fire ants successfully hatch, they will still be able to withstand cultivators at the late stage of Qi Refining.

Chen Yi dripped a small amount of his essence blood onto the iron fire ant eggs, using his insect control technique to sign a contract with the eggs.

The next moment, the shrine of the Insect God appeared and enveloped the entire Insect House.

Chen Yi then took out 30 white jade fruits and other offerings from his storage bag.

[Blessings from the Immortals, Activate Blessings]

The offerings on the ground were enveloped in a golden light, and the second-tier effect of Shennong's Blessing appeared before his eyes.

[Shennong's Blessing (Tier 2): Spirit Field growth speed +30%, Spirit Rice maturity probability increased, and probability of doubling yield increased]

[Advanced: The Spirit Field has a chance to produce additional resources daily]

[Exclusive Passive: The soil in the spirit field becomes fertile, and the cultivation absorption speed increases by 30% after consuming products from the spirit field]

Chen Yi discovered that all effects increased by 10%, and an advanced effect also appeared.

"What are the extra products?"

With a thought, Chen Yi received information about the advancement effects, which flooded his mind. It turned out that these extra products were all related to the spirit field.

It could be spiritual soil, pure spiritual energy, mature spiritual rice, or other related products.

Chen Yi's face lit up with joy. Although there was only a chance of it happening, little by little, it would add up over time and he was sure to reap a great harvest.

The Shennong Shrine floated above the spiritual field, and the second-tier Shennong Blessing effect was activated immediately.

After settling the spirit field and the insect swarm, Chen Yi returned to his room.

Now that things have settled down, Chen Yi can finally relax and check his "spoils of war".

Chen Yi took out the array plate and array flags and immediately set up the Yin-Yang Wind and Thunder Array in the room as a precaution.

Qin Lao's storage bag floated in mid-air. Chen Yi carefully removed the restriction on it and took out the items inside one by one.

"The legacy of a Foundation Establishment cultivator is truly abundant," Chen Yi couldn't help but exclaim.

As a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, Elder Qin possesses far more pills, spirit stones, and magical artifacts than Zhang Yuting.

However, he also noticed several magical artifacts emitting black smoke: a black sail, a round bead, and two short swords.

It turns out that evil practitioners can only use specially made evil practice tools to operate their evil practices.

"Keep it for now, it might come in handy later," Chen Yi thought to himself.

In addition, there were more than a dozen porcelain bottles of pills emitting black smoke, several broken jade slips, and a crystal-clear black crystal.

Chen Yi used the Blazing Sun Sword to pick up the black crystal and found that it was exactly the same as the one in Zhang Yuting's storage bag.

He immediately realized that this black crystal might be proof of their identity as evil cultivators. Chen Yi dared not act rashly and had no choice but to seal it away for the time being.

Both Zhang Yuting and Elder Qin possessed fragmented jade slips, suggesting a connection between them.

Chen Yi immediately examined the six broken jade slips on the ground and soon realized that their edges seemed to be able to be pieced together.

Chen Yi immediately took action, piecing together the six broken jade slips.

In an instant, the pieced-together jade slip emitted bursts of rosy light.

Chen Yi narrowed his eyes. After the glow faded, the broken jade slip actually formed a map.
