Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 143 - 107: Miss Zhao Chengjing_3

She wished she had been there to fight the demon cultivator with us.

Furthermore, Song Chengcheng has invited all of us who were on the ship deck at that time to meet up at the Loose Cultivator Market three years from now.

Those who can make it should attend. As Immortal seedlings who came from the 32nd island, we should help each other as much as possible.

The path of Immortal Cultivation is strenuous; here's hoping we all can go further."

Chen Yi was somewhat surprised after listening. He didn't expect Song Chengcheng to still think of them, his shipmates, after joining the Qinglong Island.

Chen Yi was not averse to the idea of the gathering three years from now.

Like Song Chengcheng said, cultivation is a long path, having a few more friends is a good thing. Moreover, Song Chengcheng is the only outer sect disciple of Qinglong Island that has reached Core Formation.

It's best to keep in touch; who knows when their paths might cross again in the future.

Cultivation, wealth, company, methodology, and location, all are important.

Without hesitation, Chen Yi agreed to the invite.

After Liu Huo left, Chen Yi first went to the Mortal City on Zhao Family Island to buy a simple refining stove and some common, inexpensive medicinal materials with fewer years of cultivation.

During this, Chen Yi didn't hide his identity.

After returning, Chen Yi prepared the Spirit Medicine inflorescence that he had gotten from Ghost Face, along with some common medicinal herbs.

Using the refining pot, he began his first-ever Spirit Medicine refinement on his own.

Indeed, under his current conditions, he could only use a refining pot. A Pill Refining Furnace, which easily cost several hundred spirit stones and up to several thousand for a good one, was not something he could afford at the moment.

Moreover, without even having reached Qi Refining First Layer, he wasn't even eligible to be an Alchemy Apprentice, let alone refine a tiered pill.

However, all types of pills should be treated with equal importance. As for Chen Yi's current level of medicinal expertise, he is capable of refining some simple medicine powders, ointments, and liquid medicines. These would have exceptional effects on low-level Early Stage Qi Refiners.

Chen Yi checked the arrangement of the herbs once again, after much consideration, he decided to start by refining the medicines he was most familiar with to enhance vitality and blood.

In the beginning, he used a mixture of Spirit Medicine and common medicinal herbs, in addition to the standard 50-year-old Turtle Snake blood for brewing.

The result was expected to be a slightly modified version of Elder Feng's Turtle Snake Strong Bone Pill.

However, Chen Yi expertly controlled the medicinal effects. It would work great for those at the first level of Body Cultivation and Early Stage of Qi Cultivation, but it wouldn't be of much use to those at the Mid-stage of Qi Refining.

Indeed, the sources of these prescriptions, spirit medicines, and common medicines, as well as Chen Yi's knowledge of Medicine Theory, all could be traced back.

Not in the least afraid, Chen Yi allowed everyone to see a bit of his unique medicinal talent.

Several days later, when Chen Yi felt the timing was right,

He learned that the trading meeting for lower-tier cultivators on Zhao Family Island was starting that day, so he brought the Turtle Snake Strong Bone Pills and went.

He found an empty space and set out a bottle of his freshly refined 6 Turtle Snake Strong Bone Pills:

"Turtle Snake Strong Bone Pill, it has good effects for enhancing vitality and healing injuries. The efficacy is slightly inferior to that of the first tier vitality and blood pill, priced at 3 spirit stones a bottle, not sold separately, accepts spiritual grass in exchange."

There are many cultivators in the Qi Refining Period on Zhao Family's Island, besides the cultivators from the Zhao family itself, there are also some cultivators and younger generations who depend on the Zhao family for their livelihood.

However, due to most being Qi cultivators and not having many spirit stones to spare, there are barely any Body Cultivators, as cultivating the body is expensive!

Therefore, Chen Yi's small stand with just a single bottle of pills was inspected from all around, but very few displayed real interest.

One person did ask about the medicine's healing effects, but upon learning it could only heal external wounds and didn't do much for injuries inflicted to spiritual power, they shook their head and left.

Until a crisp and pleasant voice rang out:

"Huh? Did you refine this Turtle Snake Strong Bone Pill?"

From just hearing the voice, it felt as if it was water trickling down in the mountains, pleasing to the ears.

Chen Yi looked up,

A gentle and charming girl was leaning over to examine the pill, her eyebrows were like paintings, her skin was fairer than snow, and she wore a light yellow dress.

When she spoke, her every frown or smile was pleasing to the eye.

When the girl arrived, all the young male cultivators in the trading area fell silent, their eyes slinking over towards her.

"The young miss! It's actually the young miss!"

"Why has the young miss come here? She's even willing to attend such a small-scale trading conference?"

"..."

Chen Yi caught snippets of hushed discussions in his ears.

Suddenly, he knew who this girl was.

Zhao Chengjing, the daughter of the Zhao Family Head, also the sister of Zhao Chengyu, a prodigy who had reached the sixth layer of Qi cultivation at just 24 years old. She was also a novice alchemist.

Upon realizing the girl's identity, Chen Yi couldn't help but glance at her several times.

She was even more beautiful than the rumors suggested, especially her gentle, clear voice, which gave her an air of tenderness.

Chen Yi wouldn't mind attracting more dissolute friends in his life. Being a young man full of vitality and blood, he wouldn't resist girls.

However,

this Zhao family's number one beauty among the younger generation, and also the daughter of the Zhao family, was someone Chen Yi couldn't afford to provoke now.

Chen Yi only wanted to cultivate quietly in the Zhao family and get through his vulnerable period in the Immortal Cultivation World.

With such a moon-encircled star-like beauty, he decided to avoid interaction with her as much as possible,

so as not to invite unnecessary trouble for himself.

"Young miss, I refined it myself," Chen Yi responded calmly, with his head lowered.

"May I take a look?" Zhao Chengjing asked, as she extended her slender, fair hand to grab the pill bottle.

"Please do.", Chen Yi didn't raise his head. He could sense that the chatter from many nearby booths had ceased. Many people had turned their attention to him.

Zhao Chengjing opened the bottle and brought it close to her nose. Her eyes brightened instantly:

"This is a pretty good Vitality and Blood Pill, its efficacy ranks among the top-grade in mortal realm medicines!"

"What's your name? Who are you practicing with in your family?"

Zhao Chengjing fixated her beautiful eyes on Chen Yi.

"My name is Chen Yi. I came to the island with Mr. Chengyu."

"Oh... it's you, then."

Alas, Zhao Chengjing sighed slightly without saying anything else.

The outside world's rumors about Chen Yi were that he was Mr. Zhao Chengyu's Daoist Protector's lackey. When the three encountered a demon cultivator, Chen Yi made a little contribution to Chengyu's fight against the demon using his wits.

Now, homeless, and unwilling to sign a contract with the Zhao family,

Mr. Chengyu kindly sheltered Chen Yi for five years, allowing him to use the Zhao family's first-tier spirit vein resources and eat the spiritual rice provided by Mr. Chengyu. However, he only practiced the Turtle Breathing Technique, a method which, though it increased longevity, didn't improve combat ability.

Especially since the progress in practicing the Turtle Breath Technique was especially slow, making him less worthy of cultivation.

In short, everyone's impression of him was of a beggar who shamelessly came to mooch off others. He didn't have any combat power and lived off others...

Thinking about this, Zhao Chengjing lost interest. However, the pill bottle was indeed useful for her first-level body cultivation.

After asking the price, Zhao Chengjing took out three inferior spirit stones to purchase the pill bottle. Then she quietly left without saying anything more to Chen Yi.

Seeing this, those who had been quietly observing the young miss's actions breathed a sigh of relief.

Many people know that the young miss was a first-tier alchemist, a kind and helpful person.

At every trading conference, she was always willing to offer advice to the members of her family who liked medicine and spiritual grass. Sometimes, she would even give a simple first-tier pill as a gift, instructing them to try refining it themselves.

The next time they met, she would always ask how it went. If the effect was good, she would suggest that the family pay high prices to cultivate new talents.

But it seems that Chen Yi didn't have any chance now.

After all, he was just here to beg for food from the Zhao family.
