Cultivating Immortality: Beginning with Blessings from the Immortals

After a moment of thought, Chen Yi realized that Sun Yu had just possessed Yu Hualong's body and had not yet truly adapted to it.

Given his condition, he is not yet capable of using this talisman.

Chen Yi estimated that even he would have difficulty activating this talisman; probably only Foundation Establishment cultivators could truly use it.

"This talisman alone is enough to make up for my losses this time," Chen Yi thought to himself with delight.

Chen Yi suffered heavy losses this time, with only a little over two hundred Azure Devouring Insects left and only four or five Purple Winged Centipedes.

Fortunately, the fire ants suffered minimal losses, and their large swarms will be a valuable asset in the future.

"It will probably take a long time to cultivate the Azure Spirit Devouring Insects to the point of thousands," Chen Yi sighed.

Chen Yi continued to examine the other items in the storage bag, which contained many precious pills, herbs, and spiritual plants.

"Hmm, what's this?!"

A white pill shimmering with rosy light came into view, and its appearance seemed very familiar to Chen Yi.

"A Foundation Establishment Pill! It's actually a Foundation Establishment Pill!" Chen Yi exclaimed in surprise, immediately sitting up from the recliner.

He picked up the pill and examined it carefully, confirming that his judgment was correct.

Perhaps because of the long time that has passed, this Foundation Establishment Pill has lost some of its effectiveness.

"The Foundation Building Pill has the effect of cleansing the marrow and purifying the body's spiritual energy," Chen Yi thought to himself.

He has now broken through to the sixth level of the Qi Refining stage. The later stage of Qi Refining requires removing impurities from the body to lay the foundation for Foundation Building.

Many cultivators who attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage miss the opportunity because they failed to cleanse their meridians and marrow.

Chen Yi planned to take the Foundation Establishment Pill after he broke through to the seventh level of the Qi Refining stage.

Another portion consisted of pills that could only be taken during the Foundation Establishment stage. Chen Yi carefully collected them, intending to use them later.

These medicinal herbs and spiritual plants are enough to sustain my cultivation for a period of time.

Sun Yu himself possessed three flying swords and two protective magical artifacts.

Wu Yifeng and Mu Yuanrong originally wanted Chen Yi to accept them all.

However, Wu Yifeng and Mu Yuanrong fought desperately to kill Sun Yu.

Wu Yifeng obtained two second-tier flying swords, and gave the remaining one to Mu Yuanrong. Considering Chen Yi's lower cultivation level, the two of their protective magical artifacts were given to him.

Chen Yi held the jade pendant and the black tortoise shell, a look of delight on his face.

These two protective magical artifacts are extremely powerful and can withstand the combined attack of the three of them.

Although he was not yet a Foundation Establishment cultivator and could not fully unleash the power of a second-tier magic weapon, it still far surpassed the power of an ordinary first-tier weapon.

Chen Yi immediately removed the restrictions on it, dripped his own blood essence on it, and set it as his own magical artifact.

For the next two weeks, he stayed in the hospital to recover from his injury.

After such a long period of recuperation, Chen Yi's mental backlash finally disappeared completely.

Although the recovery process from the backlash was extremely painful, after fully recovering, Chen Yi felt that his divine sense had become several times stronger.

After recovering, Chen Yi diligently cultivated the Profound Origin Condensing Spirit Technique.

With his current spiritual power, controlling the array, the flying needles, and the protective magic artifacts would place a tremendous burden on his spiritual power.

Chen Yi once learned from Deng Liangyu that there was a spiritual fruit that could enhance a cultivator's spiritual sense.

However, this kind of spiritual fruit is extremely rare and hard to come by.

This reminded him of what his senior brother Wu Yifeng had said: the array masters in the outer markets of the Heavenly Spirit Sect had spontaneously formed an organization called the Suspended Pivot Society.

Perhaps some of these array masters possess this spiritual fruit.

Chen Yi plans to visit Wu Yifeng in a few days and meet with the members of the Suspended Pivot Society together.

……

After a month of cultivation, Chen Yi's divine sense became even stronger.

At this moment, he was flipping through the jade slip in front of him.

"So this is the way of alchemy. It is indeed very difficult." Chen Yi put down the jade slip, a look of helplessness on his face.

To become an alchemist, one must first be proficient in the knowledge of medicinal herbs and spiritual plants, and also need some talent.

But most importantly, becoming an alchemist also requires "burning money".

After all, medicinal herbs and spiritual plants are lost every time pills are refined. Moreover, if one is not careful, all the pills in the alchemy furnace will be ruined.

Even within the Heavenly Spirit Sect, there are very few cultivators who can become alchemists.

However, becoming an alchemist also has many advantages. If one can refine several types of pills in large quantities, one can continuously sell these pills to obtain spirit stones.

Moreover, in the world of cultivation, sects, families, and independent cultivators all show deference to alchemists.

Chen Yi looked at the pile of jade slips in front of him and felt a headache coming on. These were all alchemy knowledge left behind by Sun Yu.

It includes several aspects such as medicinal herbs and spiritual plants, alchemy, alchemy furnaces, and alchemy experience.

This inevitably reminded him of the painful process of acquiring knowledge when he studied on Earth in his previous life.

But Chen Yi believed that as long as he could trigger the blessings of the immortals, he would definitely be able to become an alchemist in the future.

In the future, when cultivating, one can refine elixirs to enhance oneself.

Next, Chen Yi plans to go into seclusion to study alchemy.

He went to the backyard first and planted Warm Jade Red Rice again, irrigating it with the spiritual spring water from Sun Yu's cave.

Then they continued to cultivate the spirit insects and fed them some precious food.

The Azure Spirit Devouring Insect swarm needs time to reproduce. With only a few Purple Winged Centipedes remaining, Chen Yi had already given up all hope.

The Golden Cloud Butterflies have all reached maturity, numbering approximately two hundred.

Now only the fire ants still have many larvae, so Chen Yi naturally has to take good care of them.

After taking care of the spirit field and the insect swarm, Chen Yi immediately began to go into seclusion to study alchemy.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, a deep red alchemy furnace was placed in front of Chen Yi.

Chen Yi made a hand seal with one hand and instantly pointed it at the alchemy furnace in front of him.

The lid of the alchemy furnace flew to the side, and several red flames instantly appeared inside the furnace.

This is a spell that every alchemist must master: the art of controlling fire in alchemy.

The white flames that Yu Hualong used earlier were his family's secret flame technique, which allowed him to use "alchemy fire" through his alchemy furnace.

The "alchemy fire" produced through the alchemy furnace is far inferior to the alchemy fire on the natal magic weapon of a Golden Core cultivator.

However, it has a natural suppressive effect against ordinary fire spells.

Chen Yi is currently only a Qi Refining stage cultivator and cannot cultivate this secret technique yet.

Chen Yi exerted all his strength in the art of controlling fire in alchemy, and spiritual energy surged into the alchemy furnace.

The flames inside the alchemy furnace grew increasingly intense, quickly filling half of the furnace.

Upon seeing this, Chen Yi immediately put the prepared herbs into the mixture and began to concentrate on refining the elixir.

He had to constantly monitor the herbs and fire inside the alchemy furnace, as the slightest carelessness could lead to failure in alchemy.

He is currently refining a relatively basic elixir, the Qi Condensation Pill.

Chen Yi has failed twice in his alchemy attempts, ruining all the herbs in the furnace. Now, having learned from his mistakes, he is attempting alchemy again, hoping to succeed this time.

At this moment, the herbs inside the alchemy furnace gradually condensed into a round shape.

Chen Yi carefully controlled the flames inside the alchemy furnace, not daring to relax for a moment.

The next moment, a slight crackling sound came from inside the alchemy furnace, and a fragrant aroma wafted out.

"It's done?!" Chen Yi's face lit up with joy, and he immediately extinguished the fire and opened the lid of the furnace.
