Cultivating Immortality: Beginning with Blessings from the Immortals

Deng Liangyu stated that Wei Wufeng's movements were erratic and difficult to track.

Moreover, he seemed to be proficient in some kind of escape technique, and his burst speed in a short period of time could even exceed that of a flying magical artifact.

Chen Yi nodded slightly; he was now certain that Wei Wufeng had been possessed.

Otherwise, his cultivation level wouldn't have broken through so quickly, not to mention that his personality changed drastically after his interactions with Chen Yi.

After talking with Deng Liangyu for a while, Chen Yi was about to get up and leave the Hundred Treasures Pavilion.

At that moment, Deng Liangyu suddenly called out to Chen Yi, saying:

"Chen Yi, there's another matter I need to discuss with you today."

"Young cultivators in the outer markets of the Heavenly Spirit Sect often gather there, a gathering known as the Cloud Ink Gathering."

"These are gatherings for young cultivators to trade or exchange information. I wonder if you could join me?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi's eyes lit up, and after a moment's thought, he immediately agreed.

After all, spiritual practice cannot be done in isolation; making more friends is also beneficial.

Upon hearing this, Deng Liangyu smiled and the two agreed to meet again in seven days.

Chen Yi got up and left the Treasure Pavilion, heading straight for Jin Feng Rice Shop. Now that he had successfully broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining, it was time to switch to a different type of spirit rice.

A moment later, Chen Yi appeared at the entrance of Jin Feng Rice Shop.

Upon seeing this, the servant immediately ushered him in.

"I need to see Elder Su. Please inform him," Chen Yi said.

The servant already recognized Chen Yi and immediately led him to a small courtyard.

After waiting for a while, Old Su came out wearing a long robe and smiled when he saw Chen Yi.

"Elder Su, it's been a long time," Chen Yi said, cupping his hands in greeting.

Old Su looked Chen Yi up and down, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes, and said:

"Good lad, you've broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refining so quickly."

Chen Yi smiled calmly and immediately said that it was all due to Elder Su's careful guidance.

Old Su laughed heartily and waved his hand, saying:

"You don't need to flatter me. Your breakthrough to the late stage of Qi Refining is entirely due to your own efforts."

After exchanging pleasantries, Chen Yi stated his purpose, saying:

"Elder Su, besides Foundation Establishment Pills, what else do I need to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage?"

Old Su stroked his beard and replied:

"Now that you've reached the seventh level of Qi Refining, it's time to consider breaking through to Foundation Establishment."

"Besides needing the Foundation Building Pill, you also need to cleanse your marrow and meridians to remove as many impurities as possible from your body."

Chen Yi's expression was solemn. Since his foundation was relatively weak, he would naturally have to put in more effort to break through.

To remove impurities from the body, one must use rare and precious materials or specially made elixirs.

Chen Yi asked, "Elder Su, do you know any methods to remove impurities from the body?"

Upon hearing this, Elder Su looked thoughtful and said:

"There are two methods: one is to refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill, and the other is to cleanse the meridians and marrow through a special method..."

Master Su told Chen Yi that the Marrow Cleansing Pill was expensive, but he had the formula for it and could give it to Chen Yi.

However, you need to find an alchemist to refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill, but the medicinal herbs and spiritual plants required will cost you spirit stones.

The second method is that some sects or aristocratic families have special methods for cleansing the marrow and rejuvenating the body.

The Heavenly Spirit Sect possesses methods for cleansing the marrow and rejuvenating the body, but only those who become their disciples are qualified to use them.

Chen Yi nodded emphatically upon hearing this, and took the formula for the Marrow Cleansing Pill from Elder Su.

He didn't bother with the white wolf. Chen Yi took out the precious pills he had obtained from Xue Qiang from his storage bag and handed them to Elder Su.

"Young Chen, where did you get these pills from...?" Old Su looked surprised.

These pills are exclusively for Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, and include those for healing, cultivation, and health maintenance; they are all extremely precious.

Chen Yi smiled calmly and said:

"Mr. Su, this is a token of my appreciation."

"I'm on good terms with the young master of Baibaoge, and he gave me all of these."

He couldn't reveal the origin of the elixir, so he could only attribute it to the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, which was a large and powerful organization.

Seeing Chen Yi's insistence, Elder Su had no choice but to put the pills into his pocket.

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

He immediately returned to his courtyard and began to try to refine the Yellow Jade Pill.

The Yellow Jade Pill is a first-tier pill, specifically designed for cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining, and can greatly assist them in their cultivation.

Chen Yi took out all the medicinal herbs and spiritual plants and began to operate the alchemy furnace to refine the Yellow Jade Pill.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Yi's first attempt at refining the Yellow Jade Pill was not very successful; he failed several times.

It wasn't until the fifth time that he successfully refined a few Yellow Jade Pills.

As his skills became more and more proficient, and with the blessing of the Supreme Lord, he refined fifty or sixty Yellow Jade Pills in the past three days.

Chen Yi only stopped when he had used up all the medicinal herbs and spiritual plants needed to refine the Yellow Jade Pill.

He immediately swallowed a Yellow Jade Pill and began meditating. The pill, along with his body fluids, flowed into his eight extraordinary meridians. Chen Yi could sense that after the medicine took effect, pure spiritual energy surged within his body.

Chen Yi had just broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining, and this was a good opportunity to consolidate his cultivation.

He swallowed several Huangyu pills in a row and immediately sat cross-legged in the room to meditate.

Three days later, it was gone in the blink of an eye.

Chen Yi pushed open the door, his aura subtle yet solid, indicating that he had completely stabilized his cultivation at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

He exhaled a breath of stale air and felt refreshed.

Chen Yi quickly washed and dressed, then changed into a clean set of clothes and put the black robe over it.

Today was the time he had arranged to meet Deng Liangyu. Chen Yi pushed open the courtyard gate, intending to head to Qingyu Teahouse for their appointment.

A moment later, he appeared inside the Qingyu Teahouse.

Chen Yi specially arranged a private room and instructed the servant to bring anyone who came looking for him directly over.

The servant quickly greeted Chen Yi, brewed him a pot of fine tea, and served him several plates of snacks.

Chen Yi leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes to rest, and waited for Deng Liangyu to arrive.

Before long, a faint fragrance wafted in.

A Foundation Establishment cultivator's aura suddenly wafted over, and Chen Yi immediately opened his eyes and turned to look at the door.

The door opened, and a beautiful figure walked in.

Chen Yi turned his head and stared wide-eyed.

"You, you are Deng Liangyu!??" Chen Yi suddenly stood up and exclaimed in surprise.

A stunningly beautiful woman, dressed in a white gown and with long, black hair, walked in.

She had a heroic air about her, a cold temperament, and stunning looks, bearing a resemblance to Deng Liangyu.

Chen Yi had speculated about Deng Liangyu's gender, but had never personally confirmed it before. Now, seeing the stunningly beautiful woman before him, he couldn't help but be slightly lost in thought.

"Brother Chen, I am Deng Liangyu," Deng Liangyu said, cupping his hands in greeting.

Seeing this, Chen Yi realized what was happening and immediately said with a wry smile:

"Brother Deng, what's going on...?"

Deng Liangyu smiled, sat down in front of Chen Yi, and said:

"Brother Chen, I also have my own unspeakable difficulties. That's why I usually dress as a man."

"Some cultivators know that I am disguised as a man when I attend the Cloud Ink Gathering, so I don't need to hide my identity by wearing men's clothing."

Chen Yi nodded slightly, then asked as if he had thought of something:

"So, Miss Lin also knows about you..."

Deng Liangyu smiled and said softly:

"That's right, Ling'er and I have known each other since childhood, so she naturally knows my identity."
