Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 142 - 107: Miss Zhao Chengjing_2

After restoring his body and mana to their peak state and then cultivating the Vajra Sutra,

he found the effect to be very good,

and Chen Yi's cultivation level of the third tier was visibly improving.

The most noticeable effect, however, was from the Turtle Breathing Technique.

After another half month, Chen Yi's mana had significantly strengthened. The nearly one hundred threads of Turtle Breathing magical powers in his body had now travelled almost thirty percent through the Great Heavenly Cycle!

If he continued cultivating at this rate, in a little over two months, Chen Yi would be able to break through to the Qi Refining First Layer, officially becoming a cultivator!

However, at this time, Chen Yi had run out of spiritual rice,

Without spiritual rice, his cultivation speed, especially the efficiency of his body cultivation, would greatly decrease.

But the Turtle Breathing Technique had indeed given Chen Yi a great surprise,

He found that in the month he'd been cultivating the Turtle Breathing Technique, his physical appearance hadn't changed much at all!

Even at the age of 17, a person goes through changes - their bone age, skin condition, all of it changes over time,

Chen Yi, however, had clearly felt that, in the past month, there hadn't been much change in him.

Every time Chen Yi cultivated the Turtle Breathing Technique, he could feel its mana washing over his internal organs, and he could sense the slight rejection of the Turtle Breath's magical power to the force of time!

And Chen Yi could faintly sense that force of time now,

After this month, Chen Yi felt that he had only aged half as much as others.

It seemed that cultivating this Turtle Breathing Technique could at least double his lifespan compared to others at the same level?

Chen Yi decided to keep observing.

If it could indeed prolong his life by so much, he could take his time with his Qi Cultivation.

...

"Chen Yi, are you there?" Liu Huo's voice came from outside the door. Chen Yi came out to open the door,

Seeing the excited Liu Huo, he felt a sense of familiarity,

On Zhao Family Island, Liu Huo and Chen Yi were both comrades in arms and classmates, and strictly speaking, also fellowtownsmen. Liu Huo could be considered one of Chen Yi's few friends.

"Hehe, Mr. Zhao figured that you'd be running out of spiritual rice by now, so he told me to deliver ten kilos to you."

Suddenly, with a showy flourish, Liu Huo pulled out a bag of rice from his small waist bag,

a proud look on his face.

Chen Yi was surprised: "Brother Liu, can you use the Storage Bag? Have you advanced to the Qi Refining First Layer?"

"Hehehehe," Liu Huo couldn't help laughing:

"All thanks to Mr. Zhao's pill. I took three Peiyuan Pills this month and managed to break through to the Qi Refining First Layer yesterday. Hehe!

Brother Chen, do I look cool using the storage bag?"

"Cool." Chen Yi noticed the spiritual light on Liu Huo's face and vaguely sensed that his lifespan was still quite long,

Huh? What's this?

Using the Turtle Breath magical power, Chen Yi seemed to feel a deep red line in the spiritual light above Liu Huo's head. This line gave Chen Yi a very annoying feeling and it seemed to be coming soon,

Chen Yi couldn't help but think that Liu Huo was about to face some sort of disaster.

"Liu Huo, congratulations on becoming a Qi Refining First Layer cultivator. But the world of Immortal Cultivation is vast and dangerous, and I suggest you stay put whenever you can."

Liu Huo was not perturbed,

"Brother Chen, that's what I wanted to talk to you about!

Recently, Mr. Zhao advanced to the Qi Refining Second Layer. He's planning to take me to the nearby Spirit Fish Island to catch some spirit fish. It's both a training opportunity and a way to complete a family task,

hehe, the family is buying each tier one spirit fish at the price of fifty spirit sands! Two spirit fish are worth one spirit stone,

so, Brother Chen, do you want to join us?"

Liu Huo's face was excited, and he looked eager to try.

Chen Yi declined, "No, I haven't made a start on Qi refining yet, so I won't go out.

It's dangerous outside, so you should be careful."

"Ah, Brother Chen, with your body cultivation skills, your combat ability is certainly not bad. But your Turtle Sutra is just too time-consuming!

If you went with us and caught two spirit fish, it would be worth a bag of spiritual rice.

The monthly provision from Mr. Zhao is a bit tight, and he might not be able to provide you with spiritual rice for a long time. Also, as a body cultivator, your demand for spiritual rice is even greater. If you don't find a way to earn some spirit stones, you'll run out of resources!"

Liu Huo meant well, and Chen Yi fully understood,

However, Chen Yi had his own plans. He was cultivating the Turtle Breathing Technique which had the advantages of both worlds and a long lifespan. Time was on his side on many matters,

Chen Yi had been weary of risks and fighting for a while now, and he treasured his peaceful cultivation environment. If he didn't have to leave, he wouldn't.

But Liu Huo was right, he needed to get some spirit stones,

If Chen Yi didn't limit his consumption, he could finish this bag of spiritual rice in three days. His body cultivation consumed too much.

Moreover, as Liu Huo said, staying dependent on Mr. Zhao's rice quota would be bothersome in the long run,

It was acceptable for a short period but it would feel burdensome if it dragged on.

"Thanks for your concern, Brother Liu. I'll find a way to handle the spirit stones. You guys need to be extra careful when you go out."

Chen Yi declined the invitation to join the outing.

Liu Huo sighed, and before he left, he had something to say:

"Oh, and Song Chengcheng sent a letter when she heard about the Demon Cultivator, Ghost Face,

She wrote that she was very worried about our safety and was very happy to hear that we three had escaped death,

She greatly admired our teamwork in defeating that devil."
