Cultivating Immortality: Beginning with Blessings from the Immortals

Chen Yi told Elder Su that his cultivation was stuck at the sixth level of Qi Refining, feeling that he was just a little short of breaking through to the seventh level of Qi Refining.

Elder Su looked thoughtful and inquired about Chen Yi's recent cultivation progress.

After a moment, he slowly spoke:

"The Blazing Sun Furnace Technique itself has the flaw of fire poison, and you yourself have a mixed three-colored spiritual root."

"Your cultivation speed has been too fast recently, and there may be residual fire poison deep in your body, which the Jade Dew Fragrant Rice may not be able to remove."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi looked surprised, as he had not expected that there was still residual fire poison in his body.

He had been using Jade Dew Fragrant Rice these days to prevent residual fire toxins in his body, but who knew that this hidden danger would still arise.

Seeing this, Elder Su spoke up:

"Actually, there's another reason: you have a mixed three-colored spiritual root. When you cultivate and absorb spiritual energy, impurities are naturally produced."

"The reason why people with Heavenly Spiritual Roots and Dual Spiritual Roots can cultivate so quickly is because their spiritual roots are relatively pure."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi immediately understood and asked for a solution.

Old Su immediately took out paper and pen, wrote a long and fluent letter, and handed it to Chen Yi, saying:

"To remove the fire toxins deep within the body, you need either Jade Dew Essence or Mystic Water Essence."

"This man is a longtime friend of mine who recently moved to the market. He's a fisherman who frequently travels to the East Sea Islands to catch spirit fish..."

Lingxifang is bordered by the East China Sea to the east and backed by Wanling Mountain.

Many fishermen in the area rely on fishing in the East China Sea or on the cultivation of medicinal herbs and spiritual plants for their livelihood. The spirit fish may contain unique medicinal herbs and spiritual plants, including the essence of jade dew or mystical water.

Chen Yi received the letter and inquired about the address and surname of Su's old friend.

"You can call him Old Wu. The address is on the letter," Old Su said.

Chen Yi took the letter with both hands; the address on it felt very familiar to him.

After chatting with Mr. Su for a while, Chen Yi got up and left Jinfeng Rice Shop.

Just as Chen Yi left Jin Feng Rice Shop, a message suddenly came from the communication jade slip in his storage bag.

He took out a communication jade slip, and several lines of golden characters immediately appeared on it.

"Meet at the Tianling Sect branch in the market tomorrow at noon. Wu Yifeng."

Chen Yi was secretly alarmed as he looked at the information on the jade slip. He didn't know why his senior brother wanted to meet him at the Tianling Sect branch.

He replied via the communication jade slip, indicating his intention to keep the appointment on time the next day.

Chen Yi grabbed the envelope and dashed out to the address on it. It wasn't until he reached a street corner that he realized what was happening.

The address on the envelope was clearly that of his next-door neighbor, the former courtyard of Wei Wufeng, now Wu Tingting's home.

Chen Yi found it somewhat amusing, never expecting such a coincidence.

He knocked on the courtyard gate with the envelope in his hand, but after waiting for a while, no one answered. Chen Yi thought that perhaps the other party was fishing in the East China Sea and would probably not return until evening.

He rarely came into contact with fishermen, and according to the original story, these fishermen also had a very hard life.

The East Sea is teeming with demonic beasts and spirit fish, offering a means of livelihood but also fraught with great danger. Rumor has it that powerful figures from the Heavenly Spirit Sect and Yunmo Prefecture have forged contracts with powerful, humanoid demons within the East Sea.

Neither side's powerful figures will rashly enter the other's territory; low-level demonic beasts and cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage can operate in the nearshore waters of the East China Sea.

Chen Yi was not in a hurry; he returned to his courtyard and waited patiently.

As dusk approached, he sensed that someone had entered the neighboring courtyard. Chen Yi immediately got up, pushed open the gate, and looked to the side.

Wu Tingting and an elderly man entered the courtyard, looking travel-worn.

After waiting for a while, Chen Yi stepped forward and gently knocked on the courtyard gate.

A moment later, Wu Tingting opened the courtyard gate.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, is there something you need from me?" Wu Tingting asked.

Chen Yi, holding the envelope, began to speak:

"Fellow Daoist Wu, I am looking for Wu Qingshan. I wonder if you know him?"

Upon seeing the envelope and hearing Chen Yi's words, Wu Tingting's face showed surprise, and she said:

"You're looking for my grandfather?!"

Chen Yi nodded emphatically and handed the envelope to her.

Seeing this, Wu Tingting welcomed him into the courtyard, while Chen Yi secretly observed the situation inside.

Many fishing nets and gear were drying in the courtyard, and the smell of the sea lingered in the air.

"Grandpa, someone is looking for you," Wu Tingting called out into the courtyard.

A moment later, a slightly hunched figure walked out of the room.

"Tingting, who is he? How did he find me?" an old man in a blue robe asked as he walked.

Wu Tingting introduced Chen Yi, explaining that he was her neighbor, and handed him the envelope.

Wu Qingshan turned and glanced at Chen Yi, then immediately opened the envelope to check its contents.

Chen Yi was also observing Wu Qingshan and noticed that he was a cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining. However, he was quite old, and it would probably be difficult for him to make any breakthroughs in his cultivation.

After reading the contents of the envelope, Wu Qingshan said coldly:

"So it's Old Ghost Su. I didn't expect you to be his junior."

"Since he personally spoke up, I will also keep an eye on your situation. You will be going out to sea with us in three days."

Chen Yi took the envelope and realized that Old Su had asked Wu Qingshan to help him find the Jade Dew Essence and asked him to accompany him.

He secretly thanked Elder Su for his help and then immediately agreed to Wu Qingshan's request.

A glint of shrewdness flashed in Wu Tingting's eyes. After saying goodbye to Chen Yi, she turned and left the courtyard.

"Grandpa, is Chen Yi coming to sea with us?" Wu Tingting asked, very curious about Chen Yi's identity and purpose.

Wu Qingshan took out his pipe, lit it, took a few deep breaths, and said:

"That's right, Old Ghost Su asked me to help him find Jade Dew Essence or Mystic Water Essence."

"This person must be extraordinary to have Old Ghost Su offer his help."

……

At this moment, Chen Yi returned to his own courtyard.

He immediately checked on the iron fire ants, and found that they were still resting around the fire essence jade, as if they had fallen into hibernation.

Three months have passed, and the fire ants still show no signs of reviving.

The number of Azure Devouring Insects has now recovered to about 500, which is enough to give them initial combat power. However, it will probably take a long time to recover to their peak of 2,000.

Once all the fire crystal insects had hatched, Chen Yi immediately controlled them to settle on the spirit field.

Chen Yi planted Warm Jade Red Rice again. Once he breaks through to the late stage of Qi Refining, the bonus of Warm Jade Red Rice to him will become smaller.

At that time, we can only ask Elder Su what kind of spirit rice he wants to plant.

After taking care of the spirit insects and spirit fields, Chen Yi immediately returned to his room to look through the "Complete Collection of Basic Talismans" and several jade slips containing powerful first-tier talismans.

The Complete Collection of Basic Talismans contains many basic talismans of the first tier, such as the Gentle Breeze Talisman and the Fireball Talisman, as well as some auxiliary talismans.

However, the Complete Guide to Basic Talismans contains many basic runes and knowledge about talismans, which Chen Yi found very helpful.

Although formations and talismans are very different, they ultimately lead to the same goal.

Inscribing array patterns is more difficult than inscribing talismans, as both require a cultivator's spiritual sense and talent.

Chen Yi placed the yellow paper on the table and then used cinnabar, spiritual water, and demon blood to make a talisman liquid.

He held a magic brush, dipped it in talisman liquid, and placed the tip on the talisman paper, preparing to draw runes.
