Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 125 - 101: Hiring? No, Selling Oneself_4

Chen Yi couldn't shake the strange feeling that his body's growth rate had slowed down over the past two months.

However, he had only just turned 17, and the effects of time weren't prominent on his body yet. He would need a long period to verify this observation.

As for the Turtle Breathing Technique, Chen Yi thought he would train slowly.

After all, he had no plans to join any forces and, at this point, while starting on his own, he had no access to powerful martial methods.

Moreover, based on what Elder Liu said, most of the other martial methods in the Immortal Cultivation World, like the Turtle Breath Technique, lacked the charm of Daoist rhymes.

Chen Yi figured he might as well start practicing this Turtle Breathing Technique until he found an opportunity to enter the Martial World and get the Turtle Breath Technique from the age-old Daoist.

Maybe combining the two techniques and studying, he could find out if they complemented each other, like the Vajra Sutra.

Meanwhile,

Outside the Spirit Ship, a cloud of dark fog enveloped all, and the protective array method on the ship started making hissing sounds.

"Who dares attack my Spirit Ship carrying the immortal seedlings!"

Island Master Qian let out a bellow, appearing directly in the middle of the ship's deck,

"Hehehe! I am Ghost Face, and I've taken a liking to your seedlings. Better be wise and scram, or I'll start killing and take your ship!"

From within the fog, a robed cultivator wearing a mask slowly emerged. His voice gave nothing away about his age,

The moment he appeared, his late-stage Qi refining pressure immediately suppressed everyone on board!

"A late-stage Qi refining Demon Cultivator!" Master Qian blurted out, quickly recalling his mission.

"I am escorting the Immortal Seedlings with the approval of Qinglong Island. Ghost Face, dare you try and intercept my seedlings within the Ten Thousand Islands Alliance?!"

Master Qian shouted in rage, but,

The next moment,

With a crack, the ship's protective shield made a shattering sound

"What? The array method on my ship has been broken?!"

Instantly, the cloud of dark fog started creeping onto the ship.

"Ah, what the hell is this stuff? It's corroding my Mana!"

Master Qian yelled in shock again,

"Ghost Face, the Ten Thousand Islands Alliance won't let you go!

Children, be careful, I'm going to summon reinforcements!"

After uttering these words, Master Qian somehow created a hole in the black fog using some magic instrument and disappeared out of sight.

Subsequently, the dark fog rapidly descended onto the ship, accurately targeting the guards on the ship and swallowing them up one by one.

In a short while, black fog emitted from the bodies of the guards, merging with the fog on the ship, and was absorbed into a magic weapon held in Ghost Face's hand.

"Hehehe! Excellent, another fourteen souls have entered my Soul Devouring Banner!"

Following this, Ghost Face in black robe entered the control room, somehow managed to change the direction of the Spirit Ship, and headed towards an unknown destination.

During all this, the Immortal seedlings on the ship had already fainted when the black fog breached the ship's array. Only Chen Yi, thanks to his Triple-layered Body Refining Vitality and Blood Power, was able to dispel the murderous aura in the black fog and stay conscious.

After witnessing the whole process of Ghost Face capturing the ship,

Chen Yi smirked,

"This farce was too cursory. The array on the ship sailed all the way, withstanding attacks from medium-tier first level Demon Beasts, only to be broken by this black fog in a matter of breaths,

Besides, this black fog can only overpower mortals. Even I managed to dissipate its evil aura using only moderate Vitality and Blood Power

Master Qian, who is at mid-stage Qi refining, didn't resist a bit and ran away merely with a token protest that the black fog was powerful and the mana was being eroded,

Either he thinks we Immortal Seedlings don't know mana, or he thinks we Imortal Seedlings will meet a tragic end and will not have a chance to retaliate!"

Chen Yi sneered, "Island Master Qian of the Qian family, alright, I'll remember this."

As for the ship being hijacked by the demon cultivator Ghost Face, Chen Yi contemplated a bit, with his current strength at three-layer Body Refining, if he gets close enough, he might have a chance to kill Ghost Face.

However, without knowing Ghost Face's magic and tactics, reckless action could prove risky.

He decided to wait and see what this Ghost Face was up to. After all, there were more than 30 people aboard the ship,

Given Chen Yi's strength, even if there was danger, he should be the last one to die.

If things got worse, he could always return to the Martial World.

Later in the night, halfway to their unknown destination, the Spirit Ship stopped on a deserted island, Ghost Face got off the ship and returned with several teenagers.

Chen Yi froze when he saw one of them, how did he get caught too?
