Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 161 - 113: The Five-Year Promise Has Arrived_2

Chen Yi quickly realized he had been set up on a blind date.

Therefore, throughout the event, he was constantly asking Zhao Chengde about talisman-drawing techniques.

From the principles of drawing talismans, controlling spiritual energy, selection of talisman paper, talisman pen, spirit ink, as well as the key points and challenging aspects of several basic Talisman Scrolls he asked everything.

Zhao Chengde initially didn't want to engage in much conversation with Chen Yi. He knew he was there as a guest, while the main characters of the day were the other two.

But what could he do, he was a technophile, and seeing Chen Yi's genuine interest for talisman-drawing...

And after a few exchanges, he found that Chen Yi was an extremely intelligent person.

Chen Yi clearly didn't understand many technical aspects, but once he got the point, he not only understood immediately but also began to ruminate over it.

The two immersed in discussion, feeling as though they had found a true friend in each other!

During this, Zhao Chengying poured Spirit Tea for Chen Yi twice. Both times Chen Yi only smiled in thanks and then continued discussing with Zhao Chengde.

Once, Zhao Chengying gritted her teeth and decided to join the discussion.

But she was left speechless as Chen Yi shot three technical questions about talisman-drawing at her.

"Uh-oh, Daoist Chengying, perhaps the art of talisman drawing is not suitable for you. If you really want to study talismans, you might need to read some basic books first."

"Indeed, Chen Yi is right. Miss Chengying, if you don't understand talisman-drawing, don't interfere!"

At this point, Zhao Chengying gave up completely, spending the rest of the time sulking.

In the end, after the meeting dispersed, Chen Yi and Zhao Chengde exchanged contact information. They agreed that once Chen Yi was introduced to the art of talisman drawing, they would learn together how to draw specialized and top-quality talismans.

Before leaving, Zhao Chengde patted Chen Yi's shoulder:

"Younger Brother Chen, it's such a waste that you only practice the Turtle Breathing Technique. In terms of drawing talismans, your talent is even better than mine. What a shame!"

Chen Yi laughed, bid farewell to everyone, and left freely.

After he left, Zhao Chengying furiously smashed a table:

"Agh!"

"Stupid straight man! You've really pissed me off!"

"Who knows the different requirements for spiritual energy between wolf feather and rabbit feather talisman pens?!"

"A gorgeous woman was serving you water right next to you and you didn't even glance at her. All you did was talisman, talisman, talisman!"

"Serve you right for being single for life!!!"

"..."

"Sister Chengjing, it's not that I don't want to interact with Chen Yi, but this person doesn't have any interest in women. He and Chengde are alike, both are blockheads filled with technical matters!!"

After hearing her sister's complaints, Zhao Chengying frowned: This shouldn't be. Based on my brief encounters with Chen Yi and Chengyu's usual comments,

Chen Yi seems to be a very insightful person who has gone through worldly experiences. How could he not understand the mind of a young girl?

Unless, he was unwilling to become cultivation partners with a Zhao family girl?

...

A few months later, Chen Yi was practicing Qi Cultivation.

He smoothly entered the third layer of Qi refining, which is the final stage of the early stage of Qi Cultification, opening up the last of his meridians.

His current mana quantity was approximately 50% higher than when he first started Qi Cultivation, and its quality had also improved slightly.

Chen Yi could use some basic magic very proficiently.

Notably, after chatting with Zhao Chengde, he really did buy a set of basic talisman-drawing tools.

Half a year later, he could draw seven or eight basic talismans such as cleanse talisman and mute talisman.

Although it was still not yet a tiered achievement, this progress speed, as Zhao Chengde said, could indeed be considered a genius in talisman-drawing.

Regarding his ability to draw talismans, Chen Yi decided not to reveal it further. Becoming an alchemist and a talisman master at the Qi Refining Period was a bit too high-profile,

Both skills required a lot of time, energy, and mana to cultivate. It was rare for someone in the Qi Refining Period to successfully cultivate even one, displaying good talent,

Chen Yi wanted to be low-profile, only revealing a portion of his skills as an alchemist to others,

As for talisman-drawing, he decided to study it on his own, especially drawing specified talismans that combined his unique Turtle Breath Skill attributes,

He kept these as his trump card to use when in danger.

On the other hand, Chen Yi also made significant progress in alchemy. He could now refine one out of the three types of first-tier mid-level pills, an injury-healing pill.

He discovered that his Turtle Breath Magical Power had a unique effect in healing, even when refining pills. He learned very quickly when refining the first-tier mid-level injury-healing pill,

Although his success rate for refining a first-tier mid-level injury healing pill was only about 40% now,

He was already considered a real first-tier alchemist, his rank barely matching up with the Elder Miss of Zhao Family,

Of course, in reality, he was definitely not on par with the Elder Miss of Zhao Family who had many years of alchemy experience and her family providing her with pill formulas and countless medicinal materials,

Zhao Chengying likely could refine many more types of pills than Chen Yi,

Chen Yi could only show off a few like injury-healing pills and other medicines related to his Turtle Breath Skill.

But that should be enough.

Perhaps the Zhao family would not be too interested in having another alchemist, Zhao Chengying,

But, they might be very interested in having a first-tier pill alchemist who could refine a small type of specialty medicine.

The five-year agreement was about to end, and Chen Yi planned to express some goodwill as bargaining chips in negotiating with the Zhao Family.

...

A year later, Chen Yi came to the Zhao family to complete his five years.

By now, he was about half-way progressed in the third layer of Qi refining.

At this time, Zhao Chengyu had already become a minor expert at the fifth layer of Qi refining.
