Cultivating Immortality: Beginning with Blessings from the Immortals

"Speaking of which, among the treasures I obtained from Venerable Jin Guang, there was no such magical artifact."

"I also secretly inquired with other forces that had obtained the Golden Light Master's items, but none of them had a magical artifact similar to the purple jade hairpin."

"I'm afraid only you and your friend have obtained this magical artifact," Deng Liangyu said.

Chen Yi nodded slightly, a possibility coming to mind.

"So, what if the remnant soul of Venerable Jin Guang..."

Upon hearing Chen Yi's words, Deng Liangyu looked thoughtful and said in a deep voice:

"That's very possible, and I suspect that Venerable Jin Guang may have broken through to the Golden Core stage."

Chen Yi looked surprised. If Jin Guang Shangren broke through to the Golden Core stage, his lifespan would be greatly increased, and a hundred years would not be enough for him to pass away.

Deng Liangyu seemed to see through Chen Yi's thoughts and said:

"There is only one possibility: at that time, Venerable Jin Guang was about to break through to the Golden Core stage."

"But his lifespan had run out at the crucial moment, so the breakthrough failed."

Chen Yi asked in surprise, "Oh! Is that possible?"

With a wave of his right hand, Deng Liangyu summoned a short sword made entirely of jade, which floated in mid-air.

"This is the flying sword of Venerable Jin Guang, which already contains some of the Qi of Dan Fire."

Chen Yi could clearly feel the pressure emanating from the flying sword. Under Deng Liangyu's urging, a few wisps of azure flames appeared on the sword.

"Danhuo!?" Chen Yi exclaimed in shock.

Deng Liangyu nodded secretly and said:

"Indeed, the flying swords and longswords used by Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages are all magical artifacts."

"Cultivators at the Golden Core stage utilize the magical artifacts contained within their Golden Cores, which are called magic treasures. These treasures are imbued with the flames of their Golden Cores and possess immense power."

Chen Yi naturally realized that if the Golden Light Master was about to break through to the Golden Core stage when his lifespan was about to end.

This means that his soul is stronger than that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator, and he can possess another person by residing in a magical artifact.

"Brother Deng, has my friend been possessed?" Chen Yi asked.

Deng Liangyu sighed inwardly, put away his jade flying sword, and said:

"That's possible, but we can only tell after we meet in person."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi nodded slightly and immediately asked Deng Liangyu to investigate Wei Wufeng's whereabouts.

Deng Liangyu readily agreed without hesitation, and at the same time mentioned the matter of Qin Lao and Zhang Yuting.

"They are all heretical cultivators, and I have already reported them to the Heavenly Spirit Sect."

"I imagine they will take action soon," Deng Liangyu said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi relaxed. If the Tianling Sect cultivators intervened, they should be able to find these evil cultivators quickly.

He was just a rogue cultivator, so naturally he was afraid of being targeted by other evil cultivators.

Chen Yi took out a map from his pocket, which was pieced together from the broken jade slips of Elder Qin and Zhang Yuting.

"The meditation cave of a Golden Core cultivator?!" Deng Liangyu's face showed surprise, and he immediately rushed forward to examine it carefully.

Although he recognized the location on the map as possibly being within the Wanling Mountain area, he did not know its exact location.

"Keep this map safe, and don't tell anyone."

"If the news of the Golden Core cultivator's ascension cave spreads throughout the market, I'm afraid..." Deng Liangyu warned.

Chen Yi nodded emphatically and put the map away.

A glint of light flashed in Deng Liangyu's eyes. He was secretly pleased. Chen Yi could have kept this news a secret, but he had revealed everything to him.

Deng Liangyu took out a jade slip from his bosom and handed it to Chen Yi:

"This is the insect control technique of Venerable Jin Guang, which is quite unique."

Chen Yi's face lit up with joy. The Golden Light Master was a powerful insect tamer, and his insect control techniques must be extremely formidable.

He accepted the jade slip with both hands and immediately expressed his gratitude.

Deng Liangyu waved his hand and said, "There's no need for formalities between us. There's something else I'd like to ask if you'd be interested in?"

"What's wrong?" Chen Yi asked.

Deng Liangyu responded, "It's a trade fair jointly held by Tianlingbao City and several surrounding markets."

"Generally, the Fengyu Chamber of Commerce takes the lead, and cultivation families, independent cultivators, and various forces can all participate."

Chen Yi learned from Deng Liangyu that Tianlingbao Market was a marketplace where many cultivators traded.

However, ordinary cultivators are not qualified to participate, so Deng Liangyu plans to bring Chen Yi along.

Chen Yi readily agreed, as he was eager to go out and broaden his horizons.

He asked Deng Liangyu again about the cultivation method for spiritual consciousness, but unfortunately, it was not available in the Hundred Treasures Pavilion.

Firstly, this kind of cultivation method is rare, and secondly, very few people know how to cultivate spiritual consciousness.

However, the Heavenly Spirit Sect has cultivation techniques for cultivating divine sense, and it's possible that some cultivators will offer these techniques for trade at the Heavenly Spirit Treasure Market.

"The Tianlingbao Market will be held in a month. We'll meet again then," Deng Liangyu said.

After agreeing on a time with Deng Liangyu, Chen Yi left Baibaoge first.

Although he did not find a method to cultivate divine sense, he was very satisfied with the insect control technique obtained from Master Jin Guang.

Chen Yi returned to the courtyard and immediately checked the contents of the jade slip.

One hour later.

Chen Yi put down the jade slip, a look of shock on his face.

Master Jin Guang's insect control technique is indeed unique and can greatly enhance the power of the insect swarm.

However, he is currently only at the Qi Refining stage, so he can only cultivate the most basic part first.

Even so, it still allows Chen Yi-chan to potentially unleash the power of the swarm.

In the days that followed, Chen Yi devoted himself to practicing insect control techniques in his room.

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Yi stood in the courtyard, with two large swarms of insects, the Azure Spirit Devouring Insects and the Purple Winged Centipedes, floating above his head.

He used his insect control technique, and the two swarms of insects immediately began to hover and fly.

Under Chen Yi's control, the spirit insect was extremely agile and swift, moving as if it were an extension of his arm.

Chen Yi's face lit up with joy as he continued to direct the insect swarm.

The Golden Light Master's insect control technique is indeed powerful. He looks forward to breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage in the future, so that he can use the additional ability of insect control.

"Phew, a month has passed so quickly."

"It's time to go find Brother Deng and participate in the Tianlingbao Market." Chen Yi immediately put the swarm of insects into the insect breeding bag.

Chen Yi went to the backyard to check on the spirit field and spirit insects, then returned to his room to make full preparations before leaving the courtyard.

A moment later, he appeared at the west gate of the market.

Chen Yi deliberately wore a mask and a straw hat to cover his face.

After these experiences, he became more cautious and careful.

A dozen minutes later, Deng Liangyu appeared at the west gate of the market.

Chen Yi immediately stepped forward to greet him, and the latter couldn't help but chuckle when he saw Chen Yi's appearance, saying:

"Brother Chen, why are you dressed like that?"

Chen Yi coughed a few times and said:

"Tianlingbao City is a mixed bag, with many cultivators. I don't want others to know my appearance and identity."

Deng Liangyu shook his head helplessly, took out a mask from his storage bag, and handed it to Chen Yi, saying:

"This is a second-tier magic artifact. It can conceal one's appearance and isolate one's divine sense and aura. Consider it a gift from me."

Chen Yi expressed his gratitude and immediately accepted the mask.

This mask appears to be made of special materials; it is light gray on the outside and has an extremely soft layer of demonic beast hide on the inside.

Chen Yi dripped blood into his face to set up a restriction, then immediately put it on.

"Alright, Brother Chen, let's set off."

With a smile on her face, Deng Liangyu took the lead and led Chen Yi out.
