Cultivating Immortality: Beginning with Blessings from the Immortals

After checking each bag of rice, Old Su's smile deepened.

After giving a few instructions to the servant beside him, he turned to Chen Yi and said:

"Not bad, I can give you 1000 low-grade spirit stones for this batch of spirit rice."

Upon hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in Chen Yi's eyes, and he said with some disbelief:

"1000 low-grade spirit stones! Thank you, Elder Su!"

Old Su stroked his beard, a look of approval on his face. The quality of the spirit rice Chen Yi cultivated was actually higher than that of the independent cultivators who specialized in growing spirit rice.

"Buy several batches, and I'll buy the rest at a high price," Old Su instructed.

Chen Yi nodded emphatically and immediately agreed.

He is currently most lacking in spirit stones. As a rogue cultivator, he can only rely on himself on the path of cultivation. All of them require spirit stones, including pills, spiritual plants, magic treasures, and cultivation techniques.

Old Master Su instructed his servant to give Chen Yi many more seeds of Jade Dew Fragrant Rice.

"It's rare that you've put your mind to cultivating spirit rice. You must have heard about the Golden Light Master's cave dwelling," Elder Su said with emotion.

Chen Yi nodded and said:

"Indeed, I have heard about this matter long ago."

"However, my cultivation level is too low, so I cannot seize this opportunity."

Upon hearing this, Elder Su sighed and said, "Opportunities are rare, but it also depends on whether one has the ability to seize them."

"Strength, temperament, and luck are all indispensable. So many people pursue the Golden Light Master's cave, but in the end, only one person can obtain the opportunity."

After saying that, a look of reminiscence appeared on his face, as if he had thought of something.

Old Su turned his head and smiled, "With your steady and pragmatic approach, you may be able to make a name for yourself in the future."

"Thank you for the compliment, Elder Su." Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Chen Yi's eyes.

He is blessed by the immortals, so he must act cautiously before he becomes powerful.

Moreover, based on the effects of the blessing, he firmly believed that the resources he would receive in the future would be no less than those of cultivation families or sects.

Chen Yi carefully put away the spirit stones and seeds. After Elder Su gave him a few more instructions, he sent someone to respectfully see him off.

Chen Yi rushed straight to the Treasure Pavilion, where offerings were needed to activate the True Martial Emperor's Blessing.

He estimated that he would have some left over after purchasing the offerings, which he would then use to buy elixirs for cultivation.

A moment later, Chen Yi appeared at the entrance of the Treasure Pavilion.

He pushed open the door and entered, and a servant immediately followed.

Chen Yi immediately stated his purpose, and the servant led him straight to the spiritual plant area.

"One fifty-year-old spiritual plant of each of the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Please help me choose," Chen Yi said.

Upon hearing this, the servant immediately helped Chen Yi choose, placing five spiritual plants in front of him.

After examining the product, Chen Yi decisively bought it and also purchased some Qi Condensation Pills.

He had already bought all the offerings needed for the True Martial Emperor's blessing, and now he planned to head to the area of ​​the Treasure Pavilion where spirit insects were sold.

The servant led Chen Yi upstairs, reminding him as he spoke:

"Are you buying spirit insects? The spirit insects sold at the Treasure Pavilion are all very expensive, I wonder..."

Chen Yi smiled calmly and had his servant lead the way.

The two arrived at the sixth floor, where a plaque for the Spirit Insect Pavilion hung above them. Pushing open the door revealed a hidden world.

Unlike other floors, the Spirit Insect Pavilion has a spacious interior with more than a dozen arrays of varying sizes providing protection.

The protective array was filled with all sorts of insect swarms, making it difficult to keep up.

Chen Yi glanced around; he didn't recognize most of the spirit insects in the formation. However, his target wasn't the spirit insects within the formation's protective barrier.

"I would like to meet the manager in charge of spirit insects here. I wonder if you could introduce me?" he said, handing the servant a dozen or so spirit stones.

The servant initially looked troubled, but after seeing the spirit stone in his hand, he told Chen Yi to wait patiently and turned to find the shopkeeper.

A moment later, an old man in a brocade robe came to Chen Yi with a servant.

"Sir, what brings you here?" the shopkeeper asked.

Chen Yi sensed that the old man's aura was thick and solid, indicating that he was at least a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

He clasped his hands in a respectful gesture and said:

"Old shopkeeper, do you sell spirit insect eggs here?"

Upon hearing this, the old shopkeeper's expression shifted, and he looked puzzled, saying:

"You want to buy spirit insect eggs? Our Hundred Treasures Pavilion has never sold insect eggs, and spirit insects are always sold in groups."

Seeing this, Chen Yi truthfully told the old shopkeeper his thoughts, and the old shopkeeper looked even more surprised and suspicious.

"Objectively speaking, we are Baibaoge, specializing in selling all kinds of cultivation items. We have never set such a precedent before."

"Our Hundred Treasures Pavilion has insect tamers who regularly raise spirit insects," the old shopkeeper said decisively.

It turns out that Chen Yi wanted to buy the eggs of the spirit insect.

But he knew that Baibaoge would definitely not agree, so he came up with another idea.

That meant Chen Yi would help them raise spirit insects, then hand over a portion of the mature spirit insects, and the rest would belong to Chen Yi.

"Old shopkeeper, I hope you can consider it."

"If I can't hand over enough spirit insects, I can make up the difference with spirit stones I pay myself," Chen Yi said confidently.

He possesses the blessing of the Insect God, and the hatching rate and maturation speed of his spirit insects far exceed those of ordinary insect tamers.

If the old shopkeeper agrees, aside from needing to buy some feed, he will essentially get a lot of spirit insects for free.

The old shopkeeper smiled calmly, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

He had seen many impetuous young men, but few were as unconventional as Chen Yi.

Even some experienced insect tamers wouldn't dare make such a guarantee, let alone a young cultivator like Chen Yi.

Chen Yi wanted to say something more, but the old shopkeeper's face clearly showed some impatience, and he wanted to turn around and leave under some pretext.

Just then, a voice came from behind them.

"You're that confident? This is the first time someone has ever made such a request."

Chen Yi turned around slightly and then noticed the person behind him.

This man was dressed in a white brocade robe and held a white jade and silver fan. His every move exuded a refined and elegant air, and he was handsome with sharp, elegant eyebrows.

"What a fine 'pale-faced scholar,' he must be some young master from a prestigious family," Chen Yi thought to himself.

He carefully sensed the other party's aura and found that it had vaguely reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

"Young master, what brings you here?" The old shopkeeper looked flustered and immediately bowed.

The young master of the Treasure Pavilion waved his hand and said, "Elder Qin, there's no need for such formalities."

"I overheard your conversation from behind, and what you said was quite interesting."

Chen Yi smiled calmly and bowed to the young master in white robes.

"To be honest, my family has been insect tamers for generations."

"I was forced to resort to this desperate measure because of an unexpected downfall in my family's fortunes. Please forgive me."

The young master looked Chen Yi up and down, noticing that his demeanor and speech were unlike those of an ordinary cultivator, and his inner confidence was truly remarkable.

"Alright, in that case, I can personally lend you a hand."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi's eyes lit up, and he immediately said:

"Don't worry, as long as I fail to hand over enough spirit insects, I can pay for it myself with spirit stones."

The young master took out a golden brocade pouch from his pocket and handed it to Chen Yi, saying:

"These are the eggs of the Azure Spirit Devouring Insect, a total of 2000."

"If you can give me one-third of the spirit insects, the remaining hatched spirit insects are yours, and I can also give you a separate reward."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi immediately agreed and reached for the insect-rearing bag.
