Cultivating Immortality: Beginning with Blessings from the Immortals

A dozen or so pale yellow pills appeared inside the alchemy furnace.

Upon seeing this, Chen Yi's face lit up with joy. He waved his right hand, and the pill immediately floated in front of him.

"Not bad, according to the records on the jade slip, the quality is acceptable." Chen Yi's face showed delight.

This is a Qi Condensation Pill commonly used by Qi Refining stage cultivators, and it is also the pill Chen Yi used for cultivation.

However, he was able to successfully refine the Qi Condensation Pill on his third attempt.

At that moment, several lines of golden characters floated in front of Chen Yi.

[Intending to guide Laozi to refine elixirs and bestow blessings, but not yet activated.]

[Sacrifice: 1 Tier 1 Alchemy Furnace, 1 Bottle of Qi Condensation Pill, 10 Fire Essence Jade, 800 Low-Grade Spirit Stones]

Chen Yi's face lit up with joy. Just as he had expected, it had indeed activated the blessing of the immortals.

"Laozi! The progenitor of alchemy."

"The other offerings are fine, but this Fire Essence Jade..."

Sun Yu's cave contains five or six high-grade alchemy furnaces, and his storage bag also contains many ordinary-grade alchemy furnaces.

There are more than a dozen first-tier alchemy furnaces; you can just pick one out.

However, Chen Yi felt a bit of a headache regarding the Fire Essence Jade.

He already knew about the Fire Essence Jade when he was raising the Fire Ants.

It could have promoted the advancement of the Iron Fire Ants, but after Chen Yi thoroughly studied the alchemy knowledge in the jade slip, he realized that Fire Essence Jade was still one of the materials for making high-level alchemy furnaces.

It can also be used to make array plates or array flags, and to make magical artifacts, etc.

However, the conditions for the birth of Fire Essence Jade are extremely demanding, and ordinary cultivators find it very difficult to obtain.

Chen Yi also learned from Deng Liangyu that Fire Essence Jade might only be born in the inner perimeter of Wanling Mountain.

"Why don't I ask my senior brother? Maybe he has some connections," Chen Yi thought to himself.

Thinking of this, Chen Yi took out the jade slip he used to communicate with Wu Yifeng and immediately began to contact him.

Chen Yi has already thoroughly studied the alchemy methods for several Qi Refining stage pills, but he has only actually practiced alchemy for the Qi Condensation Pill.

Next, he plans to start refining other pills to aid his cultivation.

Chen Yi plans to find the Fire Essence Jade as soon as possible to activate the alchemy and blessing effects bestowed by Laozi.

Afterwards, Chen Yi got up and went to the backyard to check on the insect swarm and the spirit field.

Pushing open the courtyard gate, a refreshing fragrance wafted out.

A fiery red spiritual field appeared ahead, where most of the warm jade red rice that had been planted earlier had already ripened.

The blessing of Shennong, along with the assistance of the spiritual spring and the insect swarm, has greatly accelerated the ripening speed of the Nuanyu Red Rice.

Chen Yi immediately began harvesting the spirit rice, gathering all the mature warm jade red rice and placing it into specially made rice bags.

Including the batch harvested earlier, he had accumulated a lot of Warm Jade Red Rice.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Old Master Su. I'll sell some of it to him," Chen Yi secretly planned.

After harvesting the spirit rice, Chen Yi went to the insect shed to check on the insect swarm.

The populations of the two auxiliary insect groups, the silver-winged yellow shadow beetle and the lepidopteran ground beetle, are relatively stable, numbering around several hundred.

However, for Chen Yi, they were somewhat of a double-edged sword.

The rice he now grows is of higher quality, and the auxiliary effect of the two insect colonies is relatively low.

Moreover, the spiritual golden pearls and yellow-scaled jade born from the two insect kings are no longer sufficient for his current cultivation.

Moreover, once he breaks through to the late stage of Qi Refining, the effects of the Spirit Essence Golden Pearl and Yellow Scale Jade will be very low for him.

"I need to find even better spirit insects. I wonder if the Treasure Pavilion has any," Chen Yi thought to himself.

The number of Azure Devouring Insects has recovered somewhat, and the swarm itself will reproduce, but at a much slower pace.

Currently, all the fire ants have successfully hatched, most of them have grown into mature forms, and a small portion have mutated.

However, Chen Yi felt somewhat regretful that the fire ant colony had never produced a queen.

Like the Ironfire Ant, the Golden Cloud Illusion Butterfly also failed to produce a King. Chen Yi speculated that the higher the grade of the spirit insect, the lower the probability of it producing a King.

After taking care of the insect swarm, Chen Yi pushed open the courtyard gate and left home, heading straight for the central street of the market.

A moment later, Chen Yi arrived at the Treasure Pavilion.

The servant immediately stepped forward, and Chen Yi, seeing this, spoke:

"I wonder if the young master is here? Please inform the old manager and the young master."

The servant led Chen Yi to a private room, told him to wait a moment, and then turned to report.

A moment later, the old shopkeeper and Deng Liangyu pushed open the door and entered.

"Brother Deng, it's been a long time," Chen Yi said with a smile.

Upon seeing Chen Yi, Deng Liangyu couldn't help but smile and greet him.

"Brother Chen, your cultivation has made another breakthrough!!" Deng Liangyu exclaimed in surprise.

Since he met Chen Yi, the other party's cultivation level has improved rapidly. He knew that Chen Yi had a mixed three-colored spiritual root, but the speed of his breakthrough was astonishing.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Chen Yi explained his purpose.

"Brother Deng, I wonder if the Hundred Treasures Pavilion has any Fire Essence Jade?" Chen Yi asked.

Upon hearing this, Deng Liangyu sighed and said:

"We don't have Fire Essence Jade in our Hundred Treasures Pavilion, and even if we did, we wouldn't sell it."

"These rare natural treasures are basically not available on the market."

A hint of disappointment appeared on Chen Yi's face. If the Hundred Treasures Pavilion didn't have it, he would have to find a way himself.

After chatting for a while, Chen Yi took the initiative to speak:

"Brother Deng, have you ever heard of the Suspended Pivot Society?"

Upon hearing this, Deng Liangyu's eyes flashed with surprise, and she immediately replied:

"The Suspended Pivot Society! You've joined this organization?"

Chen Yi smiled calmly: "My senior brother wants to introduce me to the team. If Brother Deng is interested, would you like to join me?"

Upon hearing this, Deng Liangyu's eyes flashed with a shrewd light, and he naturally agreed.

He told Chen Yi that he had heard of the organization before, but at the time he had no way to join.

If a group of like-minded array masters can exchange ideas, it will greatly help their own array skills.

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and after chatting, they went to a restaurant for a meal and drinks.

Chen Yi discovered that although Deng Liangyu was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he had always treated him as an equal.

As dusk approached, a message arrived via Wu Yifeng's jade slip.

He told Chen Yi to meet him at Qingyu Teahouse in three days. Chen Yi immediately sent a message, indicating that he wanted to bring another friend, who was also a formation master.

A moment later, Chen Yi received a message from Wu Yifeng, indicating that he could bring Deng Liangyu along.

"Brother Deng, let's meet at Qingyu Teahouse in three days," Chen Yi said.

Deng Liangyu nodded slightly, then his expression turned somewhat solemn, and he said:

"Brother Chen, do you remember when you asked me to investigate Wei Wufeng?"

Chen Yi's expression changed slightly after hearing Wei Wufeng's words.

"That's right, I haven't been able to find him recently. Do you have any news, Brother Deng?"

Deng Liangyu sighed and said in a deep voice:

"His whereabouts are elusive, and we have had difficulty tracking him down after he joined the Heavenly Spirit Sect."

"Moreover, his residence in the market is already for sale."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi immediately stood up and exclaimed in surprise:

"What? His house has already been sold?"

Deng Liangyu nodded emphatically. After Wei Wufeng joined the Tianling Sect, the sect would arrange a separate courtyard for him.

Alternatively, one could reside within the Tianling Sect, and the courtyard in the market would naturally be sold.
