Cultivating Immortality: Beginning with Blessings from the Immortals

Chen Yi looked surprised and immediately squinted his eyes to look at the glow of the sunset.

A small shrine appeared above the glowing light, and something within the light was gradually changing.

A moment later, the glow faded and the shrine disappeared.

Chen Yi was able to see what was inside the glowing light; it turned out to be a fire crystal worm the size of a fist.

"This, this is the Fire Crystal Insect King!!" Chen Yi's face lit up with joy, and he immediately controlled it to fly over.

With a slight flap of its wings, the Fire Crystal Insect King flew to Chen Yi and landed on his palm.

Chen Yi discovered that the Fire Crystal Insect King's abdomen was even more robust, and hard insect armor had appeared on its body.

At this moment, several lines of golden characters floated above the Fire Crystal Insect King.

【Fire Crystal Insect King】

There is a daily chance to obtain Flame Jade Liquid, which can be used to draw first-tier fire attribute talismans.

Chen Yi's expression shifted. The Fire Crystal Insect King could produce Flame Jade Liquid. However, Flame Jade Liquid was not used to assist in cultivation, but rather to make talismans.

Upon realizing this, he immediately understood that he could activate another divine blessing.

Chen Yi's own cultivation of fire-attribute techniques makes him even more adept at using fire-attribute talismans. Moreover, the Flame Jade Liquid born from the Insect King is certainly no ordinary item, so the talismans he creates should be very powerful.

With this in mind, Chen Yi decided to go to the Treasure Pavilion to buy talisman paper and a spirit brush.

After taking care of the spirit insects and the spirit field, Chen Yi got up and walked outside.

He flashed forward and immediately got up to head to the Treasure Pavilion.

A moment later, Chen Yi appeared at the entrance of the Treasure Pavilion. He entered the pavilion, and the servant beside him immediately came to greet him.

Chen Yi purchased some talisman paper, cinnabar, and other commonly used materials for drawing talismans. He also bought a book called "Complete Collection of Basic Talismans".

Just as he was selecting materials for drawing talismans, the old shopkeeper came up behind him.

"Young Master Chen, you've finally arrived," the old shopkeeper said with a smile.

Chen Yi greeted the other person with a smile and inquired about his and Deng Liangyu's recent situation.

"The young master has been diligently cultivating, while Young Master Chen's cultivation has also made progress," the old shopkeeper said with a smile.

Chen Yi waved his hand, exchanged a few polite words with him, and then turned to leave.

Seeing Chen Yi about to turn and leave, the old shopkeeper immediately reached out to stop him and said:

"Young Master Chen, you want to make talismans, right?"

"I happen to have a spirit brush of decent quality here, along with several talisman-making methods, which I'll give to you as well."

As he spoke, the old shopkeeper handed the spirit brush and jade slip to Chen Yi.

Chen Yi looked surprised and immediately declined, saying:

"Old shopkeeper, I cannot accept a reward without merit."

"How could I possibly know how to make these spirit pens and talismans..."

Before he could finish speaking, the old shopkeeper sighed inwardly and said:

"Young Master Chen, didn't our young master tell you that he wanted you to join the Hundred Treasures Pavilion as a guest elder?"

Chen Yi's expression changed slightly, and he nodded.

"Ah, I've watched the young master grow up since I was a child."

"He has his difficulties, and I hope you can seriously consider this matter."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi immediately realized that the old shopkeeper was pleading for Deng Liangyu. Seeing the old shopkeeper's expression, he couldn't refuse outright.

I had no choice but to say it tactfully:

"Old shopkeeper, please allow me to consider this matter."

"However, even if I hadn't joined the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, Brother Deng would still be my closest friend."

The old shopkeeper smiled upon hearing Chen Yi's words and forcefully stuffed the jade slip and spirit brush into his hands.

After exchanging a few words with the old shopkeeper, Chen Yi turned and left the Treasure Pavilion.

After leaving the Treasure Pavilion, he began to wander around the market.

These days, Chen Yi has been cultivating, refining pills, or going out to find rare and precious materials. It has been a long time since he has been able to relax like this.

Chen Yi wandered through the various shops on the central street of the market, buying delicacies and monster flesh and blood, which were not only delicious but also helped him cultivate.

The price is a bit high, but he has plenty of spirit stones now.

Around noon, Chen Yi went to the restaurant and ordered a table of fine wine and delicacies for himself.

After several rounds of drinks and several dishes, Chen Yi, having eaten and drunk his fill, left the restaurant and headed straight for Jin Feng Rice Shop.

He's encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation of the Blazing Sun Furnace Technique, so he can consult Elder Su. Besides, he has a lot of Warm Jade Red Rice, which he can sell to Elder Su.

Chen Yi walked through the streets and alleys and soon arrived at the entrance of Jinfeng Rice Shop.

It was just past noon, and there were still some independent cultivators who grew spirit rice coming to Jinfeng Rice Shop to sell it.

When they saw Chen Yi arrive, some of his acquaintances immediately greeted him.

"Hey Chen, it's been a long time since I've seen you."

"Hey, your cultivation has improved!"

"Good heavens, this is the sixth level of Qi Refining, just one step away from becoming a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator."

Chen Yi smiled and greeted the acquaintances around him, but his mood was changing.

Once upon a time, he, like these rogue cultivators, could only barely make ends meet by growing spirit rice.

To purchase elixirs and cultivation techniques, one must painstakingly accumulate spirit stones.

He has now reached the sixth level of Qi Refining, and possesses magical artifacts, talismans, formations, and spirit insects.

Chen Yi's eyes hardened, and an inexplicable aura of pressure rose around him.

After he entered Jinfeng Rice Shop, the guards led him to a small courtyard alone. Old Master Su had previously instructed the people at Jinfeng Rice Shop that Chen Yi could be met privately after arriving at the shop.

After Chen Yi waited in the courtyard for a while, Old Su, dressed in a gray robe, walked in.

"Young Chen, it's been a long time since we last met."

"I thought something had happened to you, kid. I was worried sick about you for quite a while," Boss Su said with a smile, a hint of joy on his face.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi felt a warmth in his heart and immediately stood up, clasped his hands in a gesture of respect.

"Mr. Su, it's been a long time."

"I also miss you very much. I've been in seclusion and cultivating diligently, which is why I haven't been able to contact you," Chen Yi said with a smile.

Old Su laughed heartily, stepped forward and put his arm around Chen Yi's shoulder, urging him to sit down quickly.

After carefully sensing Chen Yi's aura, he couldn't help but show surprise and said:

"Good lad, your cultivation has actually reached the sixth level of Qi Refining!!"

"You were just one step away from breaking through to the seventh level of Qi Refining?! Truly, you've changed so much in just a few days!"

Chen Yi only said that he had practiced diligently and had broken through by chance.

After chatting for a while, Chen Yi took out all the warm jade red rice from his storage bag.

A dozen or so specially made rice bags flew to the ground, spreading the aroma of spiritual rice.

"Great, I'll take it all at the price!"

With a wave of his hand, Elder Su put all the spirit rice into his storage bag and then took out spirit stones and handed them to Chen Yi.

Seeing this, Chen Yi shook his head slightly and did not accept the spirit stone.

Elder Su's expression changed slightly, and he said, "What? You've used all your spirit stones for cultivation, haven't you?"

"In that case, I'll raise the price a bit more."

Chen Yi smiled, naturally sensing Elder Su's concern, and said with a serious expression:

"Mr. Su, you've misunderstood."

"You have helped me many times, so consider this rice a gift from me; it's a token of my appreciation."

Upon hearing this, Old Su was taken aback, but then a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

He wanted to refuse, but seeing Chen Yi's serious expression, he had no choice but to accept it.

Seeing this, Chen Yi smiled and asked:

"Mr. Su, there is something I would like to ask you."
