Cultivating Immortality: Beginning with Blessings from the Immortals

"Brother Chen, Miss Lin, you've come too?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi immediately turned around and saw Sun Huo and another female cultivator appear behind them.

"Brother Sun, you've also come to the Yunmo Gathering," Chen Yi said.

Sun Huo nodded slightly upon seeing Chen Yi and the other two, and replied:

"That's right, Mr. Sun wants to trade some items."

"I have other important matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

He clasped his hands in a fist and bowed to the crowd, then led his friends forward.

At the same time, Chen Yi heard Sun Huo's voice transmission.

"Brother Chen, if you've made up your mind about the trip to Jin Yun Valley, feel free to contact me anytime."

Chen Yi's expression changed slightly upon hearing Sun Huo's telepathic message, but he did not make a sound.

He does need the Inkstone now, but the Ironfire Ant swarm has not yet successfully completed its advancement.

Chen Yi silently prayed for the blessings of the immortals, looking at the few lines of golden characters before him.

Currently, the blessings from the immortals regarding formations, alchemy, and talismans are all at the first level, and there is already a clear goal for the second level of talismans.

He planned to wait until he broke through to the ninth level of Qi Refining before searching for the offerings bestowed by Laozi.

The Foundation Establishment Pill is a second-tier pill. Only if he receives a blessing from Laozi and is promoted to the second tier can he be confident in refining the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Lin Ling'er strolled around with Deng Liangyu, while Chen Yi explored the surrounding stalls on his own.

According to the recipe for the Marrow Cleansing Pill, although its grade is not as high as that of the Foundation Establishment Pill, it contains two or three important rare and precious materials that are not available in the Treasure Pavilion.

Lin Ling'er asked the manager of her Fengyu Chamber of Commerce to help Chen Yi gather two kinds of medicinal herbs, but now they were still missing one rare and precious herb.

Chen Yi strolled around the stall, intending to collect them all.

Just as he was engrossed in browsing through the various stalls, several figures approached him from behind.

Chen Yi turned his head abruptly and realized that it was Yang Liren and the others.

Yang Liren, who was in the lead, stared at Chen Yi with anger on his face, and the pressure of a Foundation Establishment stage expert suddenly spread out.

"Chen Yi, I'm warning you."

"I'm already engaged to Deng Liangyu, so stay away from her," Yang Liren said coldly.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi's face flashed with surprise, and he immediately understood Deng Liangyu's behavior today. He hadn't expected that she and Yang Liren were actually engaged.

But they quickly realized that since both families were Golden Core cultivators, they were probably trying to form an alliance.

Faced with Yang Liren's coercion, Chen Yi remained calm and did not attempt to respond.

Today, Yang Liren already holds a grudge against him for what happened with Deng Liangyu, and any explanation will be of no use.

Moreover, Chen Yi was not afraid of the other party's power. After all, he was now Master Zhou's disciple, and Yang Liren would have to consider the consequences if he wanted to make a move against him.

Yang Liren's anger intensified when he saw that Chen Yi did not respond.

His aura intensified once more, and he appeared in front of Chen Yi in a flash.

Chen Yi felt a chill run down his spine and secretly gathered his spiritual energy, preparing to make a move at any moment.

For a time, tensions rose between the two sides.

At that moment, the cultivator behind the stall slowly spoke:

"Gentlemen, you must think carefully before you take action."

"The rule of the Cloud Ink Gathering is that no one is allowed to make a move here, otherwise..."

Upon hearing this, Yang Liren's expression changed slightly.

The Cloud Ink Gathering has lasted for over a hundred years and has long had its own rules, which no cultivator can overstep.

Otherwise, Yunmo Xiaohui would become a laughing stock among young cultivators.

Yang Liren chuckled coldly a few times and said in a low voice:

"Kid, you better watch out, don't let me get a chance."

Chen Yi ignored him and instead turned to walk towards other stalls.

Yang Liren clenched his fists as he watched Chen Yi's retreating figure.

He turned to look to the side and said:

"Go and investigate this Chen Yi. The more detailed the information about him, the better."

After half an hour of searching, Chen Yi finally bought the last rare and precious material for the Marrow Cleansing Pill.

The Marrow Cleansing Pill is a high-grade first-tier pill, and its refining difficulty is not low. He plans to wait until he breaks through to the ninth level of Qi Refining before starting to refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill.

It was already late at night.

Chen Yi was looking down at the magical artifacts on the stall when Lin Ling'er and Deng Liangyu found him.

"Brother Chen, is there any magical artifact you desire? I will return to ask my father for help."

"I'll help you find a few suitable magical artifacts later," Lin Ling'er said with a smile.

Chen Yi wanted to refuse, but Lin Ling'er insisted, so he couldn't refuse her.

Lin Ling'er led Chen Yi and Deng Liangyu forward, and they arrived at a small courtyard.

The three entered the house in the courtyard, where Chen Yi carefully set up a concealment formation.

Lin Ling'er looked at the two of them and said:

"I've already found out about the assessment conference; this assessment is different from usual."

Deng Liangyu was the first to speak, asking:

"What's the difference? It's nothing more than spiritual roots, aptitude, and personal strength."

Lin Ling'er shook her head slightly and said:

"This time, we're taking the assessment together with the Spirit Sword Sect and the Azure Phoenix Sect."

Upon hearing this, Deng Liangyu looked surprised and immediately asked for the reason.

Chen Yi was secretly puzzled. He usually spent his time cultivating, farming, and refining pills, and had never heard of any other sects.

Lin Ling'er sighed, but she couldn't find out the specific reason.

However, there must be great danger involved, as this is the first time that a joint assessment will be conducted with other sects.

Chen Yi then inquired about the situation of the other two sects.

Seeing this, Deng Liangyu explained:

"Brother Chen, you are unaware of something."

"The Spirit Sword Sect and the Azure Phoenix Sect are also among the top ten sects in Yunmo Prefecture, and their strength is no weaker than that of the Heavenly Spirit Sect."

Chen Yi learned from Deng Liangyu that both sects were located to the north of the Tianling Sect.

Although separated by Mount Wanling, the three sects share a border area, and they can occasionally encounter disciples from each other's sects.

The three sects are all among the top ten sects in Yunmo Prefecture, and they have some degree of friendship.

Chen Yi was secretly alarmed upon hearing Deng Liangyu's words.

There are many forces in the entire Yunmo Prefecture, among which the Ten Great Sects are the most powerful, and each sect has a Nascent Soul stage expert stationed there.

It is rumored that the Heavenly Spirit Sect has three Nascent Soul cultivators, but they keep a low profile.

Even the elders of the Heavenly Spirit Sect rarely get to see them.

After chatting for a while, Chen Yi, Lin Ling'er, and the other two got up and left the Yunmo Club.

A branch of the Fengyu Chamber of Commerce was also located in Qing Shi Fang, so Lin Ling'er hosted the two of them.

Lin Ling'er told Chen Yi and Deng Liangyu to wait in the room while she went out to instruct the servants to entertain them.

For a moment, only the two of them remained in the room.

Chen Yi was at a loss for words when faced with Deng Liangyu dressed as a woman, creating an awkward atmosphere.

He coughed lightly a few times and spoke first:

"Brother Deng, what are your plans after joining the Heavenly Spirit Sect?"

Deng Liangyu is already a Foundation Establishment cultivator. With her spiritual root and cultivation level, she probably won't need to pass the assessment to join the Heavenly Spirit Sect.

Deng Liangyu smiled slightly, a strange expression appearing on his face.

After a moment, she slowly spoke:

"After joining the Heavenly Spirit Sect, I will naturally cultivate diligently and strive to become a Golden Core cultivator as soon as possible."

Chen Yi nodded slightly. Deng Liangyu has dual spiritual roots of metal and fire. With diligent cultivation and the support of his family and sect, he should be able to break through to the Golden Core stage.

This reminded him of himself, whose three-colored spiritual roots had a relatively weak foundation.

Without the blessings of the immortals, I probably wouldn't be able to break through to the seventh level of Qi Refining now.
