Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 154 - 111: Hometown Gathering

Zhao Chengyu proposed this deal with confidence as before his arrival, his sister Zhao Chengjing had granted him some permissions to court Chen Yi.

Becoming an apprentice of an alchemist, studying for eight or ten years, and once formally entering and becoming a first-tier alchemist afterwards,

He would serve as the Zhao family's Offerings. Receiving 200 spirit stones each year, that's 2000 stones in ten years!

What are the odds of acquiring 2000 spirit stones?

A Foundation Establishment Pill is worth only 7000 to 10,000 spirit stones, of course, without mentioning its purchase route and other factors.

And this is just the basic reward given to a first-tier alchemist,

One could say, becoming an Offering for the Zhao Family was, for most of these immortal seedlings in their batch, a supreme status that was hard to reach even in a lifetime,

Just like how it is unattainable for most Cultivators in their entire lives,

You have someone teaching you how to refine pills, providing spiritual materials to practice refining, and providing spirit stones and spiritual veins for your cultivation, this is practically the zenith of the Qi refining period.

Any sane Qi Refining Cultivator, let alone Chen Yi, who only knows the Turtle Breathing Technique and has reached the second layer of Qi refinement, wouldn't dare to refuse.

After setting out these conditions, Zhao Chengyu beamed with confidence,

Liu Huo, who was sitting next to him, looked on with an envious gaze. Becoming an Offering for the Zhao Family was much more prestigious than being a Daoist Protector. However,

Chen Yi was his older brother, so he was happy for Chen Yi's opportunity.

That being said,

Chen Yi pondered for a moment, without agreeing or denying, just smiling and saying,

"Daoist Zhao, let's discuss this matter later. Isn't there still two years until our five-year agreement?

Between us, let's just talk about friendship, not contracts. Two years later, whether I choose to stay or go, I will discuss it with the family then."

Chen Yi did not want to serve as an Offering for any family; he didn't want his freedom to be bound. Of course, if he could come and go freely, he could consider collaborating as cultivating in the Zhao Family was fairly comfortable,

But that wasn't something he could obtain with his current worth.

Zhao Chengyu's smile froze momentarily, but after thinking about it, he nodded,

"Daoist Chen has a point. I believe you will think carefully. Right, let's talk about personal bonds, these messy matters should be left to my sister!"

.....

So the grand gesture made by the Zhao Family to recruit Chen Yi ended in laughter,

Liu Huo felt it was a bit of a shame, but he wasn't too worried about Chen Yi. He knew Chen Yi had great ambitions,

Just by looking at his strength that he exposed when he took revenge on the enchantress on Demon Cultivator Island, Liu Huo could tell Chen Yi was already at a similar level to him,

Moreover, Chen Yi had been researching alchemy these years and even provided Liu Huo with many pills that enhanced Body Refining Cultivation,

Liu Huo didn't believe Chen Yi's body refining cultivation would not improve.

"Brother Chen simply likes to keep a low profile when cultivating."

A month flew by quickly. The three of them chatted about their cultivation dreams, discussed the applications of various magic, and expressed their longing to become a great figure in the Immortal Cultivation World on the flying boat,

Along the way, their bond grew stronger.

The Immortal Cultivation World was filled with instances of betrayal and backstabbing. A friendship that was formed in the beginning of entering the Immortal Cultivation World, like theirs, was indeed a treasure.

Spirit Cloud Island, located in the eastern part of the Ten Thousand Islands Alliance, was a small island spanning a few hundred miles,

It had a quasi-first tier spiritual vein, and is a market town collectively supported by several Immortal Cultivation Families nearby.

When Zhao Chengyu, Chen Yi, and Liu Huo arrived at the island, Zhao Chengyu presented the Zhao Family's token and the island entrance fee was waived.

The three of them settled in the agreed Ascending Immortality Tower,

After a few days, Wang Tengfei and Zhang Shigui arrived. On the last day, Song Chengcheng also arrived.

The Ascending Immortality Tower, Room No. 3 in Block A, the six people gathered for the first time,

This meeting was proposed by Song Chengcheng, and Zhao Chengyu was responsible for the invitation.

As the host of this meeting, Zhao Chengyu, the only dual spirit root and fourth layer Qi refining cultivator at the table, naturally sat at the head of the table,

Next to him was Song Chengcheng,

Three years had passed, and Song Chengcheng, now 19, was more stunning than ever. In a floral sundress, with her slender figure and exquisite face, she had the beauty of a ravishing maiden when she smiled shyly.

The table was filled with 20-year-old young men, all of them staring at her mesmerized.

Unlike other Immortal Seedlings who work in vain, Song Chengcheng, who trained in the powerful Qinglong Island, had formal heritage.

Adding her pure water-attribute spirit roots, her cultivation had already reached the peak of the third layer Qi refining period,

She was the second most advanced cultivator in the room, only after Zhao Chengyu.

Even though Liu Huo's cultivation had also reached the Qi refining third layer, his spirit root properties and Martial Methods were far inferior to those of Song Chengcheng. The gap now may seem small, but as the years pass, the gap between the two would only grow,

Nevertheless, Liu Huo was the third highest cultivator in the room. He was not only at Qi refining third layer but was also at the peak of the first layer of Body Cultivators. So naturally, he sat in the third seat,

Out of all the people there, Liu Huo had seen the most changes,

Unlike Zhao Chengyu and Song Chengcheng, who had excellent origins, other four came from humble backgrounds,

But due to Liu Huo's daring nature, he accomplished many things under Zhao Chengyu. He had a firm footing in the Zhao Family, with no lack of spirit stones or pills,

In just three years, he had already started standing above the other immortal seedlings who signed contracts with other forces,

One cannot say that they did not envy him.

Especially Wang Tengfei and Zhang Shigui. These were two people with three spirit root talent, one grade higher than Liu Huo!

But now, three years later, their cultivation was not as advanced as Liu Huo's,

And this was because they weren't doing well in their respective forces.

But whatever their cultivation level was, both Wang and Zhang had their own opportunities. Having three spirit roots, they were seedlings with considerable potential to grow, nothing like typical Four Spirit Root Immortal Seedlings who would be marginalized once they joined a big family.
