A public notice was posted seeking a wife, and a female saint from the Immortal Sect was found.

The medicinal herbs grown by the Chen family are all used to refine the Spirit Condensation Pill, which is a pill used for cultivation during the Qi Refining stage.

The Purple Pill Sect is a sect that focuses on alchemy. In the past, it mainly refined Spirit Condensation Pills and occasionally refined a small number of Foundation Condensation Pills.

Before obtaining the improved formula for the Foundation Condensation Pill, even the Purple Pill Sect needed to prepare for a period of time to gather enough medicinal materials to refine the Foundation Condensation Pill once.

In general, the Foundation Condensation Pill is much more difficult to refine than the Spirit Condensation Pill, and the medicinal power of the pills is also vastly different.

In the room, Chen Yi swallowed a Foundation Condensation Pill. The medicinal power, far stronger than that of the Spirit Condensation Pill, dissolved in his body. He immediately focused his mind and used the Foundation Establishment Chapter of the Azure Emperor Profound Spirit Cultivation Method to circulate the spiritual power within his body, thereby absorbing the surging and powerful medicinal power of the pill.

Four hours later, Chen Yi opened his eyes. The power of the pills in his body had been completely absorbed. He didn't even need to look at the system panel to feel that his spiritual power had increased slightly.

Name: Chen Yi

Lifespan: 22/198

[Realm: Foundation Establishment (32/10000)]

[Martial Arts Skill: Triple Mountain-Splitting Saber Technique (Perfect)]

Rainmaking Spell: (Perfect)

[Spell: Purple Lightning Technique (Mastery: 322/5000)]

[Spell: Concealing Spirit Technique (Minor Success: 785/1000)]

[System Function: Authentication (Can authenticate the authenticity of anything in the world, once per day)]

After looking at the system panel, Chen Yi was slightly surprised. He had only cultivated once and had increased his points by 30. This speed was not slower than that of the Qi Refining stage.

"According to the system, this Foundation Establishment stage is not divided into nine levels, nor into initial, middle, and later stages. That should mean that when the numerical value reaches 10000, the Foundation Establishment stage is complete."

Currently, each cultivation session increases one's skill level by 30 points. If one cultivates once a day, it would take approximately 333 days to reach the perfect level.

However, if one cultivates twice a day, the required time immediately drops to about 170 days.

After carefully calculating in his mind, Chen Yi's heart beat faster. At this rate, he might be able to compare with a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator in three months.

If it were five months later, he might be able to rival Zhao Dezhi's master, Li Hong.

"It's unrealistic for people to do everything according to calculations." Chen Yi quickly calmed down.

Sometimes, one thing after another would prevent him from focusing on his cultivation. According to the calculated time, his cultivation speed was indeed fast, but he couldn't spend all his time cultivating.

No one can live in this world and only do what they want to do. Moreover, the remaining Qiji Pills in the family are not enough to support his daily cultivation with pills.

The purchase of the Ning and Zhang families' properties had used up some of the pills, and Li Changqing had recently told him that he needed to withdraw a batch of pills. As a result, the pills that were originally plentiful suddenly became somewhat scarce.

Spiritual practice requires a strong material foundation, and among the four elements—wealth, companions, methods, and environment—wealth is ranked first, and this is why.

Suppressing his various thoughts, Chen Yi stopped dwelling on them and chose to continue cultivating.

This time, he cultivated for seven consecutive days before carrying the wooden box out of the room.

[Realm: Foundation Establishment (422/10000)]

The cultivation went very smoothly. During these seven days, he stayed at home and cultivated twice a day, and his realm improved at an astonishing speed.

However, the rate at which the pills were consumed was equally astonishing. He had taken two bottles of Foundation Establishment Pills, a total of twenty pills, and now only six remained.

In the warehouse, there were only two bottles of Foundation Condensation Pills left.

Chen Yi put those aside for the moment; the wooden box on his back naturally contained the Sunhunting Bow.

Focusing solely on cultivation would only improve his realm. He hadn't practiced the Purple Lightning Technique and the Spirit Concealing Technique for the past few days, and had decided to only practice them once a day from now on, using the remaining time to practice the Purple Lightning Technique and the Spirit Concealing Technique.

Cultivation level is considered the foundation of a cultivator, while techniques and supernatural abilities are the deadly weapons against enemies; neither can be lacking.

However, before that, he decided to test the power of the Sunhunting Bow. The Chen family only had this treasure, and he didn't know how effective it would be.

The sun had already set. Chen Yi left his family home and headed north. About two hundred miles north of the Chen family home was a vast, desolate forest.

Legend has it that beyond this forest lies the endless mountain region, which is considered to be the territory of demons, where terrifying non-human creatures are hidden.

However, this is just a legend. Chen Yi has never seen a demon, and he has rarely heard anyone talk about demons in the mountains. Even the Chen family ancestors had only heard about the legends.

Of course, the forest seemed to have no end, and even cultivators found it difficult to traverse the entire forest. Perhaps there really were endless mountains on the other side of the forest, and there really were demons in those mountains.

However, Chen Yi had no way of knowing these things, nor did he have the mind to think about them.

Two hundred miles was not a long distance for him. When he arrived at the forest, he saw that every tree was tens of feet tall, and some were even hundreds of feet tall, which would be a thousand meters tall.

Chen Yi entered the forest directly and only stopped after going more than ten miles into it.

He took the wooden box off his back, opened it, and took out the Sunhunter Bow. He tried to draw it a few times and found that it could be drawn without much force, which disappointed him. He thought the bow might not be very powerful.

He deftly picked up an arrow, nocked it, and in the next instant, mysterious runes lit up on the longbow and the arrow.

The runes lit up and echoed each other. In an instant, a violent devouring force suddenly appeared on the longbow and arrows, instantly devouring about half of the spiritual power in Chen Yi's body.

The sudden turn of events made Chen Yi's heart skip a beat and his face turn pale, but he did not lose his composure. He already knew in his heart that he had underestimated this bow.

The runes on the bow were glowing, as were the arrows. Even Chen Yi, the one holding the bow, could sense a violent power in the Sunhunter Bow that seemed capable of tearing everything apart.

Without further hesitation, he released his grip, and the arrow, like a streak of light, exploded and snapped within three hundred meters of him.

The arrow he shot still blasted a crater several meters deep into the ground when it landed.

After a moment of silence, Chen Yi walked over, picked up the arrows, and then put them back in the wooden box along with the Sunhunting Bow.

Then, without any hesitation, he turned and headed back to his family.

"The power of the Sunhunting Bow is at least five times stronger than the power of a single strike of the Purple Lightning Technique, but the spiritual energy it consumes is also several times greater than that of casting the Purple Lightning Technique."

On the way back, Chen Yi finally understood why the ancestral teachings strictly stipulated that only those with Foundation Establishment strength could use this bow. If one was in the Qi Refining stage, trying to use it would instantly drain their spiritual power, and even their blood and qi would be absorbed.

Back at his family home, Chen Yi carefully hid the wooden box again. He had already decided to increase his archery practice starting tomorrow, so that with the power of the Sun-Hunting Bow, he could use it to hunt down Zhao Dezhi and significantly increase his chances of success.

However, unless he is absolutely certain, he should not use this bow lightly. With his current abilities, he can only shoot two arrows. After that, his spiritual energy will be exhausted.

"I still know too little about cultivation, and I don't know if there are any pills in the world that can restore spiritual power. I'll have to ask Changqing later," Chen Yi muttered to himself.

Then, a doubt arose in his mind: this bow was too powerful, too powerful to be reasonable.

The Chen family was a small, humble household. How did the second uncle manage to acquire such a powerful weapon?

Although he couldn't be sure how much of a threat this bow posed to Foundation Establishment cultivators, Chen Yi was actually a little alarmed by the power it had displayed.

He even thought that one arrow could kill Zhao Dezhi, a cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, but of course, whether it would work or not would only be known after trying.

Even Chen Yi felt a little hot in his hands holding such a treasure; it was too powerful. Logically speaking, the Chen family should not have the ability to possess such a powerful weapon.

However, this bow has been hidden in the Chen family for decades, and how the second uncle obtained it back then is impossible to verify.

Moreover, having this bow gives us an extra powerful trump card, which is ultimately a good thing. As for other things, worrying too much about them would just be pointless.

…………

The next day, before dawn, Chen Yi stepped out of his room and stood in the courtyard to begin practicing the Purple Lightning Technique.

Before it even started, Ye Chen suddenly walked over and bowed to Chen Yi from a distance.

Chen Yi waved his hand and asked, "Miss Ye, is there something you need?"

Since their last conversation, he had been busy with cultivation and hadn't spoken with Ye Chen for some time.

Ye Chen quickly said, "Patriarch Chen, the Purple Pill Sect will be making some big moves in the near future. Sister Changqing already knows about this, but she asked me to tell you as well."

Chen Yi was startled. Was the Purple Pill Sect making a big move? And was it related to the Chen family?

He immediately asked, "What is it? Tell me."

Ye Chen nodded and said, "Patriarch Chen, there's no need to be nervous. Something big is indeed going to happen in the Purple Pill Sect, but it's not aimed at the Chen family."

"According to the information I received, the Zidan Sect has received an order from the upper sect to do everything in its power to find the whereabouts of a female cultivator. The Zidan Sect will mobilize the entire sect for this matter."

"As for why the Purple Pill Sect is going all out, one reason is that the upper sect seems to have given a strict order, and the Purple Pill Sect has no choice but to cooperate."

"Secondly, as long as the whereabouts of that female cultivator are found, the Purple Pill Sect will receive extremely generous, even terrifyingly generous, rewards. These rewards could include spiritual treasures that would allow a cultivator to successfully condense a Golden Core, pills that would allow a cultivator to successfully advance to the Nascent Soul stage, and even spiritual treasures that would be useful even for those in the Deity Transformation stage."

"Such a reward would have excited even my sect master grandfather so much that he couldn't calm down and cultivate for three days."

"Therefore, the Purple Pill Sect will thoroughly investigate the whereabouts of that female cultivator within its own sphere of influence. However, with such a generous reward, it will probably not be easy for the Purple Pill Sect to find out the whereabouts of that female cultivator."

Ye Chen paused for a moment, and Chen Yi immediately asked, "What kind of female cultivator is worth such a fuss?"

Since it is an order from the superior sect, it means that the Purple Pill Sect has another powerful sect as its backer.

In order to find a female cultivator, she offered a price that he found outrageous. He was curious about the background of this so-called female cultivator.

Ye Chen carefully organized the information he knew before answering, "As far as I know, it's not just the Purple Pill Sect and the Upper Sect, but it seems that all the sects in the world are searching for that female cultivator."

"I learned from my sect leader grandfather that, as far as he knows, all the sects within a radius of 50,000 li have received missions to search for that female cultivator."

"Grandpa Sect Master doesn't know the background of that female cultivator, but he does know her name and appearance."

"The female cultivator's name is Li Changle. She looks like an ancient female immortal and is even more beautiful than Sister Changqing."

At this point, Ye Chen took out a piece of jade and handed it to Chen Yi, reminding him, "By touching this jade with your spiritual power, you can see the female cultivator's appearance."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi accepted the jade and covered it with his spiritual power. In the next instant, a figure suddenly appeared in his mind.

It was a figure standing above the clouds, wearing a plain long dress like a cloud, with a hazy seven-colored light on her body. Her eyes were closed, but it seemed as if she was looking down on the whole world.

The scene appeared and quickly faded away. Chen Yi hesitated for a moment, but had to nod and say, "You're right. This female cultivator is indeed three points more beautiful than Changqing, and her temperament is truly extraordinary."

At this point, Chen Yi couldn't help but laugh twice, and continued, "Li Chang Le, her name differs from Chang Qing's by only one character. Just who is this female cultivator...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Yi suddenly froze.

Li Changqing, Li Changle...

He suddenly realized that he couldn't understand what Li Changle's identity and background could attract so many sects to investigate her origins.

But if so many sects are searching for Li Changqing's whereabouts, then he understands.

Once the Grand Elder of the Eastern Divine Sect, he lost a battle for the sect leader position and was severely injured, fleeing 800,000 miles to this place. This is why Li Changqing is here.

Therefore, it was impossible for the Eastern Divine Sect not to investigate Li Changqing's whereabouts.

Currently, sects within a radius of tens of thousands of miles are searching for a female cultivator named Li Changle. Although the name is different, this matter has revealed an extremely unusual meaning.

"Is it possible that Li Chang Le is Chang Qing?"

Chen Yi subconsciously had a guess in his mind.

Li Changqing fled here, so it's impossible that he didn't try to avoid the Eastern Divine Sect's investigation. Therefore, it's impossible for him to appear in the world with his original appearance and name.

Taking a pseudonym and changing one's appearance is a perfectly natural thing to do.

Taking all the factors into account, Chen Yi felt that there was at least an 80% chance that Li Changle was Li Changqing.

"What did Changqing say about this matter?" Chen Yi asked immediately.

Ye Shun shook his head and replied, "Sister Changqing only said 'I understand,' and didn't say anything else."

"In addition, there is another matter. Three days later, the Purple Pill Sect will use the spiritual treasure bestowed by the sect to explore the souls of all living beings within its territory. I have never heard of such a spiritual treasure before, but with such a spiritual treasure, if that female cultivator is in this area, she will definitely be found."

Chen Yi raised an eyebrow and asked, "Did you tell Changqing about the spirit treasure?"

Ye Chen shook his head: "No, Sister Changqing doesn't seem to care about this matter, so I didn't say anything more."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi remained calm on the surface, but a tremendous sense of urgency rose in his heart.

He turned and left to find Li Changqing, wanting to find out whether Li Changqing was really the so-called Li Changle.
