Cultivating Immortality: Beginning with Blessings from the Immortals

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi immediately understood that the cultivation world was very realistic.

If a disciple of the Heavenly Spirit Sect or a member of a powerful cultivation family were to be possessed by someone else, the forces behind the scenes would surely step in to uphold justice.

But ordinary rogue cultivators are helpless and alone; even if they are possessed, who would care?

Moreover, if the cultivator who has been possessed is just like everyone else, simply cultivating normally without falling into evil or demonic paths, then what reason would one have to investigate the other party?

A glint of light flashed in Chen Yi's eyes, and he said in a deep voice:

"If Wei Wufeng has really been possessed, then his sister is in danger."

"I have received care from them, siblings, on many occasions; how can I turn a blind eye?"

Seeing this, Deng Liangyu didn't say much, but she did offer a reminder:

"Be extra careful when dealing with him. If you encounter any difficulties, come to Baibaoge to find me."

Chen Yi felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing this, and immediately clasped his hands in a salute, saying:

"Thank you, Brother Deng. Could you please help me...?"

Before Chen Yi could finish speaking, Deng Liangyu waved his hand repeatedly, telling Chen Yi not to be so polite.

After exchanging words, Chen Yi got up to leave.

A strange expression appeared on Deng Liangyu's face as he spoke:

"I'm going back to my family soon, and my father will be coming out of seclusion. If you need anything, just ask the old manager."

Chen Yi nodded upon hearing this. Deng Liangyu's father was the head of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion and a Golden Core stage expert.

After saying goodbye to each other, Chen Yi turned and left the Treasure Pavilion.

As soon as he left the Treasure Pavilion, a jade slip in his storage bag began to shimmer.

Chen Yi's expression changed slightly, and he vanished from the spot in a flash.

Soon, he arrived at a small alley. After seeing that no one was around, Chen Yi took out a jade slip from his storage bag.

"This is Mu Yuanrong's communication jade slip!!" Chen Yi inputted a stream of spiritual energy into it.

The next moment, a line of golden characters floated above the jade slip.

"Tomorrow at noon, at Qingyu Tea House in the center of the market."

Chen Yi frowned slightly, not understanding why the other party would still contact him.

After a moment's thought, he decided to keep the appointment. Qingyu Teahouse was a famous teahouse in the market, where many cultivators would gather.

Even if the other party has ulterior motives, they wouldn't dare to make a move in person.

……

The next day, at noon.

As agreed, Chen Yi arrived at the entrance of Qingyu Teahouse. As soon as he stepped inside, a waiter came to greet him.

"I wonder if there is a Miss Mu who has already booked a room?" Chen Yi asked.

Upon hearing this, the servant asked Chen Yi to wait a moment while he went to the back to confirm.

A moment later, he led Chen Yi to a small private room on the third floor.

Pushing open the door, Chen Yi found Mu Yuanrong sitting inside.

When the other party saw Chen Yi arrive, he nodded slightly, gestured for Chen Yi to sit opposite him, and then waved for the servant to leave.

Chen Yi was secretly puzzled, but still sat down opposite Mu Yuanrong.

After seeing Chen Yi sit down, Mu Yuanrong took out an array plate and array flags and immediately set up an isolation array.

After the array barrier enveloped the entire room, she slowly spoke:

"Brother Chen, I didn't expect you to actually keep your promise."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi smiled slightly and said:

"Miss Mu, let's get straight to the point. What exactly do you want to see me about?"

"Does he still want the white jade fruit I have? Unfortunately, I don't have any white jade fruit left."

Mu Yuanrong shook his head, took out a jade slip from his robes, and said:

"I wonder if Brother Chen is interested in the Foundation Establishment Pill?"

Chen Yi's heart skipped a beat; Foundation Establishment Pills were of paramount importance to them. He naturally needed Foundation Establishment Pills as well to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

"Miss Mu, what makes you say that?" Chen Yi asked, his gaze fixed on the jade slip.

Mu Yuanrong smiled and said, "This is the formula for the Foundation Establishment Pill, which was originally only circulated among sects and immortal cultivation families."

"I obtained this elixir formula by chance, and now I'm still missing two important rare and precious ingredients."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi immediately understood what the other party meant; this was probably the reason they were looking for him.

"I stumbled upon the cave dwelling of a deceased alchemist in the Wanling Mountains, but it was surrounded by a powerful array."

"I hope that we can break the formation together and obtain the treasures within," Mu Yuanrong said.

A thoughtful expression appeared on Chen Yi's face as he asked:

"How can you be sure that the missing rare and precious medicinal herbs are inside?"

Mu Yuanrong put away the jade slip and replied:

"Knowing the other party's identity, I was naturally very confident."

"Moreover, there must be other rare and precious herbs inside, which can be used to exchange for the missing medicinal herbs."

Chen Yi did not immediately agree upon hearing this. Wanling Mountain was extremely dangerous, and he did not want to take the risk with someone he was not familiar with.

Mu Yuanrong naturally noticed the hesitation on his face and said that she could give him time to consider it.

Recalling their previous encounter, Chen Yi couldn't help but speak:

"How did you and Wei Wufeng meet? If you go to Wanling Mountain, will he go with you?"

A glint of shrewdness flashed in Mu Yuanrong's eyes as he truthfully replied:

"I've collaborated with him a few times, but he won't be participating this time."

"I'll be bringing two friends, but you can bring one person if you want to join."

Chen Yi nodded slightly, but still did not agree to the matter.

Mu Yuanrong spoke again, "By the way, I've received some news."

"The Heavenly Spirit Sect's assessment has been postponed. You also want to join the Heavenly Spirit Sect, right?"

"If you join the Heavenly Spirit Sect with Foundation Establishment cultivation, you can directly enter the inner sect, which will be very advantageous for you."

She gave Chen Yi a month to consider it, then got up and left the private room.

Chen Yi looked thoughtful. Now he had the White Jade Fruit, the Thousand-Year Spirit Milk, and other rare and precious materials.

Currently, they lack Blood Mystic Flower and Purple Pattern Vine, and the Foundation Establishment Pill formula is also in Mu Yuanrong's hands.

Chen Yi returned to his courtyard and, after thinking about it for a few days, decided to agree to the matter.

The reason is simple: Zhao Deyan's appearance put a lot of pressure on him. The other party wouldn't come looking for him without a reason; they definitely wanted to cause him trouble.

Chen Yi needs to improve his strength as much as possible, ideally breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

However, he is currently alone, and if he teams up with Mu Yuanrong, he will be at a disadvantage in the team.

If Wei Wufeng were still alive, he would definitely invite him. But now that it's uncertain whether Wei Wufeng has been possessed, he's naturally not on Chen Yi's radar.

Deng Liangyu has returned home, and Chen Yi has no other people he trusts besides her.

Chen Yi sighed inwardly, pondering how to find a reliable companion.

suddenly!

Chen Yi thought of his master, Master Zhou.

Master Zhou once told me that I could contact him if I needed anything.

With this in mind, Chen Yi dressed himself neatly and immediately headed to the outer gate of the Tianling Sect in the market.

A moment later, Chen Yi arrived at the outer gate of the Tianling Sect.

He took out his identity jade token from his storage bag, revealed his identity, and entered the outer sect of the Heavenly Spirit Sect.

Chen Yi headed straight for the innermost part of the outer gate and soon arrived at Master Zhou's residence.

He knocked lightly on the courtyard gate and waited quietly outside.

A moment later, a butler came out and immediately showed a respectful expression when he saw Chen Yi.

"Please inform your master that I, disciple Chen Yi, have come to pay my respects," Chen Yi said.

The butler smiled and welcomed Chen Yi in, saying:

"You are a disciple of Master Zhou, there is no need to be so polite."

"Moreover, the patriarch has just emerged from seclusion, so your arrival is perfectly timed."
