Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 160 - 113: The Five-Year Promise Has Arrived

Half a year later, within a courtyard of the Moon Lake Manor,

Chen Yi opened his eyes and expelled a long, turbid breath.

"My mana from the second layer of Qi cultivation is almost at its peak..."

"Although the progress of cultivating the Turtle Breathing Technique is slow, it has been continually stable. Unlike others, I have not encountered any significant obstacles on the road ahead.

All I need to do is steadily continue my cultivation. However, I should show a bit of my worth first..."

.....

Within a certain courtyard filled with the fragrance of medicine on the island,

Two tall and graceful beauties sat, enjoying their tea.

"Cheng Ying, you're 21 this year, right? You also stopped at the Qi refining third layer two years ago, didn't you?"

"Yes, Sister Chengjing, why do you ask?"

A girl in a yellow dress asked, her voice was sweet, her features delicate, her peach-blossom eyes irresistibly charming.

"Cheng Ying, with your talents, even with the family's provision of the Breaking Tier Pill, you might barely manage to reach the Qi Refining Seventh Layer. Have you considered starting your own family?" Zhao Chengjing asked with a smile after taking a sip of tea.

Although it was a question, Zhao Chengjing, being an esteemed lady of the family and a cultivator at the sixth layer in her twenties, was basically one of the decision-makers of the next generation of the Zhao family.

Most junior members wouldn't dare to contradict her words.

Hearing this, the girl in the yellow dress, Zhao Chengying, faltered. She had eventually not been able to escape the fate of securing alliances through marriage for the family. She cautiously asked, "Sister...who is the other party?"

If it was a young, promising man with a good image, she would have accepted her fate. Who could blame her for not possessing excellent cultivation talents like Zhao Chengjing?

The weak could not control their own fate.

"Chen Yi, you've heard of him, haven't you?"

Zhao Chengjing was pleased with her sister's response.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chengying's face changed, "That Turtle Pharmacist?! He only has four spirit roots and has only reached the Qi refining second layer after three years, even I am better than him! I don't want to!"

"Sister, Chen Yi practices the Turtle Cultivation Technique, his cultivation progression is very slow, and his talent is not great either. In the future, his cultivation level might not even surpass mine.

Additionally, given his personality and mana, should we encounter danger, would I be the one protecting him?

Choose someone else, sister. Chen Yi really isn't a match for me!"

"Oh, Chengying, you're so shortsighted. I've observed Chen Yi before. He's steady and unadventurous, which is a symbol for longevity. Plus, he has an exceptional talent for potion-making.

In the Immortal Cultivation World, that is quite a skillset. After you two get married, you can just open a pharmacy on Zhao Family Island. You'll have no problem living a blissful life.

There's not always fighting and killing in the Immortal Cultivation World." Zhao Chengjing tried to convince.

But Zhao Chengying continued to shake her head. To her, a small-time pharmacist was nothing but a herb mixer, not really an impressive skill. The man of her dreams would arrive on a colorful cloud when she was in danger, rescuing her from peril. A mere Qi refining second tier cultivator would not do.

"Report! Missy, we have received the latest news from the trade fair!"

At this point, a servant came knocking in a hurry.

After Zhao Chengjing let the servant in, her countenance changed upon reading the message on the note.

"What, he actually created a defective pill? Where is it?"

"Responding to Missy, this injury-healing pill was sold by Chen Yi. I took the liberty of buying it. Please take a look."

After receiving the porcelain bottle, Zhao Chengjing poured out the black pill and examined it:

"The medicinal fragrance is correct,its stripes are deep, and it doesn't have many impurities. It's only that the final manipulation was a bit lacking. He didn't take into account the antagonistic reaction between the Return Dragon Flower Liquid and the Leek God Fruit Core,

which caused only half of the pill's pattern to form, cutting its medicinal effect in half."

"Nevertheless, this is still quite impressive. He will be able to learn the final manipulation techniques as his mana and spiritual sense strengthen and he gains proficiency.

In other words, it won't be long before Chen Yi becomes a fully-fledged first tier, low-rank alchemist?!"

Shock was visible in Zhao Chengjing's eyes.

She herself was a first tier, mid-rank alchemist. As she displayed her talent for concocting pills at a young age, her family spent a fortune to train her for over a decade. Despite all the waste pills she had produced.

But how about Chen Yi? Without any support and only relying on his practice, he had reached such a stage in just two to three years!

"This boy must be kept in the family!"

Zhao Chengjing turned back to her sister, "He's not far from becoming a first tier alchemist. Do you want to pass up this opportunity now?

Cheng Ying, only because you are my own cousin am I thinking of you. But if you decline, there will be other girls in our family who are much more willing to become an alchemist's cultivation partner!"

"I...I...Well, I'll give it a try~"

The girl in the yellow dress spoke in a softer tone, appearing a bit embarrassed. She had just criticized Chen Yi for his low cultivation level, but now, hearing that he was on the verge of becoming a first tier alchemist, she quickly changed her tune, feeling a bit mercenary.

Yet, that was the reality of marriage, condition indeed matters a lot.

.....

The following day.

Liu Huo invited Chen Yi over, claiming he wanted to introduce him to a few friends from the family.

Chen Yi, unsuspecting, gladly accepted the invitation.

In Liu Huo's home, his wife had prepared some dishes.

At the table were Liu Huo, Chen Yi, and three others - two women and a man. They were all cultivators from the Zhao family, and it seemed that they were all at the third or fourth layer of Qi Cultivation.

Chen Yi sat between a man and a woman. The man to his left was called Zhao Chengde, a first tier, low-rank talisman master.

To his right was an exquisitely dressed girl in a yellow dress, named Zhao Cheng Ying, a cultivator at the Qi refining third layer.

During the meal, Liu Huo repeatedly teased Chen Yi and the girl in the yellow dress, saying they were a perfect match who had conveniently met.

The girl, unusually, showed no disgust. Whenever teased, she would lower her head shyly, but would sneak peeks at Chen Yi.
