Cultivating Immortality: Beginning with Blessings from the Immortals

Chen Yi suddenly turned his head, only to see someone he loathed.

"Chen Yi, you're finally back!"

"You didn't show up at the family banquet my father hosted. I thought you were dead after not seeing you for so long," Zhao Junri said coldly.

Upon hearing Zhao Junri's words, Chen Yi finally remembered that Zhao Deyan had personally invited him to a banquet more than a year ago.

But he had no intention of paying attention to the other party at the time, and naturally forgot about it.

Afterwards, he went into seclusion to cultivate, refine pills and create formations, or went to the Antarctic Fire Plains or the Ten Thousand Spirits Mountain, so he naturally had no interaction with them.

Chen Yi remained unmoved and wanted to continue walking forward.

When Zhao Junri saw that Chen Yi was ignoring him, a look of anger appeared on his face.

"You bastard, you're asking for it!"

He suddenly drew his longsword and thrust it straight at Chen Yi's back.

Chen Yi was naturally aware of his opponent's movements at all times. Just as Zhao Junri made his move, he immediately dodged to the side.

Zhao Junri's attack missed instantly, and Chen Yi seized the opportunity to draw his Blazing Sun Sword.

With a turn of the blade, the sword instantly emitted a red glow.

Chen Yi's expression was icy. He had no intention of going against Zhao Junri, but the other party seemed determined not to let him go.

He no longer held back, wielding the Blazing Sun Sword to relentlessly attack Zhao Junri's vital points.

Zhao Junri saw a hint of mockery flash in his eyes when he saw Chen Yi's counterattack, but his expression changed leisurely after exchanging a few blows with the other party.

He found that Chen Yi's moves were clean and ruthless, forcing him to retreat repeatedly.

Chen Yi's aura suddenly erupted, and the momentum of a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator rushed straight towards Zhao Junri.

Zhao Junri's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in surprise:

"You, you actually broke through to the seventh level of Qi Refining?!"

Chen Yi did not reply, but continued to thrust out with the Blazing Sun Sword in his hand, instantly creating streaks of sword shadows.

Zhao Junri immediately dodged backward and cast a shield spell, creating a circular shield in front of him.

The next moment, the Blazing Sun Sword and the shield collided violently.

The sounds of rapid, continuous clanging filled the air, and the circular shield rippled instantly.

Chen Yi swept his longsword horizontally, actually breaking through Zhao Junri's shield and sending him flying several meters away.

"Damn it, you..." Zhao Junri was both shocked and furious, never expecting to be defeated by Chen Yi.

He was even more surprised that the other party was able to break through to the seventh level of Qi Refining.

Zhao Junri roared and immediately cast a spell.

A phantom image of a tree suddenly rose behind him, followed by several wooden spikes that instantly attacked Chen Yi.

A wound appeared on Chen Yi's right hand, and blood instantly clung to the sword.

With a flick of his longsword, several streaks of crimson sword energy flew out leisurely.

This is a variation of Chen Yi's Crimson Blood Spirit Explosion Technique, which relies on the Blazing Sun Sword to unleash sword energy.

Several fiery red sword energies collided with the wooden spikes, instantly turning them into fragments.

Zhao Junri's expression changed, and he immediately activated his protective magic artifact, a diamond-shaped shield that instantly protected his body.

The sword energy slammed into the diamond-shaped shield, blasting him away once again.

Zhao Junri's guards immediately reacted and rushed towards Chen Yi, intending to surround and attack him.

Chen Yi was not afraid at all, knowing that they couldn't do anything to him.

At this moment, their commotion had already attracted the attention of the surrounding neighbors, who gathered around.

"Have you thought this through? Private fights are prohibited in the market," Chen Yi said slowly.

The guards who were about to take action all stopped.

Zhao Junri's face contorted with rage, and he roared:

"All of you, get up here! If anything goes wrong, the Zhao family will take responsibility."

As soon as he finished speaking, several guards rushed forward, and Zhao Junri, wielding his longsword, charged forward again.

Facing the onslaught of the crowd, Chen Yi wore a cold smile.

He immediately activated the jade pendant, and a seven-colored shield instantly enveloped him, while simultaneously unleashing the Crimson Flame Spirit Explosion technique.

Blood flowed from his palm, instantly rising and forming seven or eight compressed fireballs around him.

"Fire Meteor"

The fireball shot out instantly, transforming into a meteor and heading straight ahead.

Zhao Junri and his guards used various methods to resist, and the fireball exploded and instantly spewed out blood-red flames.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Chen Yi pulled out a talisman and threw it out, and fireballs, water blades, and lightning rushed towards the opponent again.

For a moment, Zhao Junri and his guards' attack was thwarted.

Chen Yi made his move, his figure flashing as he rushed into the crowd. His Blazing Sun Sword thrust out repeatedly, each strike aimed directly at the opponent's vital points.

Zhao Jun, a Japanese man, was at the sixth level of Qi Refining, while the other guards were only at the third or fourth level of Qi Refining.

Even when they gathered together, they were no match for Chen Yi.

Chen Yi used the Blazing Sun Sword and the Crimson Blood Spirit Explosion Technique to knock them to the ground in a short time.

Zhao Junri had been lax in his cultivation, and could only exert 30-40% of his Qi Refining Level 6 strength. Now, he was knocked to the ground by Chen Yi in just a few moves.

"Chen Yi, you, you..." Zhao Junri stammered.

A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth; his internal organs and meridians had been damaged by the shock.

Chen Yi said coldly, "Zhao Junri, whatever you want from me today..."

"I don't want anything to do with you, you understand?"

Zhao Junri raised his head slightly, but dared not speak out of turn due to Chen Yi's strength.

Chen Yi glanced at Zhao Junri and the others who were lying down, and stepped into the courtyard.

Zhao Junri struggled to his feet, and several guards immediately helped him up.

"Leave here first, take me to my father," Zhao Junri said.

Several guards helped Zhao Junri leave the area quickly, and the surrounding neighbors also dispersed.

Chen Yi returned to the courtyard and immediately set up the Yin-Yang Wind and Thunder Formation.

Although he didn't know why Zhao Junri had come, he was sure he had ill intentions, so he naturally had to be on guard.

Chen Yi planned to go into seclusion and cultivate diligently, so that no matter how outrageous Zhao Junri and the others went, they wouldn't dare to force their way into his residence.

After resting for a while, he began to practice his magic.

Now, the Crimson Blood Spirit Explosion Technique, the three attack forms of the Nine Cold Shadow Needles, and the Flowing Light Sword all need to be practiced.

With a thought, Chen Yi saw the shrine of the True Martial Emperor float above his head.

With the blessing of the True Martial Emperor, his cultivation speed will greatly increase.

At this moment, Zhao Junri and his guards arrived at a luxurious mansion.

Zhao Junri wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, immediately took out a pill from his storage bag and swallowed it, using his own spiritual energy to neutralize the medicinal effects.

"Quickly, go find my father!" Zhao Junri said through gritted teeth.

He brought people here specifically to force Chen Yi into a corner, but unexpectedly, Chen Yi broke through to the seventh level of Qi Refining and defeated them in one fell swoop.

The two guards immediately left the courtyard to look for Zhao Deyan, while the others continued to take care of Zhao Junri.

Before long, Zhao Deyan, dressed in a black robe, walked into the courtyard.

Zhao Junri had been meditating and adjusting his breathing for a short while and had already stabilized his injuries. Seeing Zhao Deyan enter, he immediately stood up and went forward, saying:

"Father, that bastard Chen Yi..."

Zhao Junri immediately told his father what had happened, embellishing the story.

Zhao Deyan's expression grew even uglier upon hearing this; he hadn't expected Chen Yi to be so ruthless.

He looked thoughtful and said:

"Hmph, I'll handle this myself."

"If all else fails, we'll have to force him to come and participate in the ancestral worship ceremony."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Junri's face lit up with joy, and he immediately responded:

"Father, if you personally intervene, you'll definitely be able to get him to come over. That brat certainly won't dare to resist."
