Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 171 - 116: Mid-stage Qi Refining, Dual cultivation of Law Body_3

In the end, he realized that he had found such a good cultivation spot in the Zhao Family. It would be a waste to give it up now when the next location may not be as good,

Moreover, even if the medical hall was moved to the front, it would still be within the range of Zhao Family Island, protected by the array method, thus still considered safe,

The most important thing was, the Zhao Family's two Foundation Establishment cultivators had not yet taken action,

As long as the two pillars do not have any mishaps, Chen Yi will still be safe in the Zhao Family with his current overall strength.

With these considerations in mind, Chen Yi did not object and followed the medical hall.

The medical hall at the front line peninsula was close to a pier, beneath which there was an extension of a spiritual vein,

Although the level of the spiritual vein was slightly lower than that of a first tier spiritual vein, the residences of several physicians were enveloped in a Gathering Spirit Array, ensuring daily cultivation.

However, for Chen Yi, the slight inconvenient was that he had to attend to patients for two hours each day due to the increasing number of wounded, which impacted his cultivation.

But considering the excellent environment the Zhao family had provided him, a little sacrifice on his part would suffice as a return favor. This way he would not owe them anything when he leaves the Zhao family in the future, and it would not affect his state of mind when he ascends to higher realms.

The person in charge of the medical hall was someone Chen Yi knew, Zhao Chengde, the young talisman master who had discussed talisman making with Chen Yi,

However, when Chen Yi saw him, Zhao Chengde was leaning on a crutch,

"Brother Chengde, what happened to you?"

"Sigh, A few days ago on Spirit Fish Island, I was sneak attacked by a body cultivator from the Wu Family, my leg was broken, so I came back to recover and in the meantime, I was asked by the family head to supervise this medical hall."

Now Zhao Chengde was at the sixth layer of Qi Refining, and yet he was still injured and had to manage the medical hall,

It seems, the Zhao Family was running short on manpower and the battle situation was not favorable.

The Wu Family is a beast-controlling clan; they can control aquatic demon beasts, which naturally gives them an advantage in underwater disputes.

"Brother Chengde, is the situation at the front line so dire?" Chen Yi asked casually.

"Don't worry, we are figuring out a solution. Some time ago, Third Young Master of the Talisman Tan Family came to our island, it seems he has taken a liking to our Miss, the two sides are now in communication, seeing if there's a possibility of marriage alliance."

"Third Young Master of the Talisman Tan Family? That newly entered dual-spirit root genius in Qinglong Island?"

"You know him too, Brother Chen? That's him indeed!"

Chen Yi had heard of this Third Young Master of the Tan Family. A few years ago, at a hometown gathering, Zhang Shigui mentioned that he had struck a relationship with a dual-spirit root son from his master's family,

It was indeed this Young Master from the Tan Family.

According to Zhao Chengde, after Zhang Shigui died, the third son of the Tan family protested that his death was due to conflict with the Zhao Family and came to confront them,

However, after seeing the young lady, he was smitten and changed his hostility to friendship.

And the Tan Family was also a nearby Foundation Establishment Family, with two mid-stage foundational cultivators and one at the beginning stage,

If they could form an alliance with the Tan Family, the ownership of Spirit Fish Island would be secured,

What's more, the Third Young Master of Tan had entered Qinglong Island for cultivation, he had a brighter prospect than Zhao Chengyu, the Wu Family should not dare to be too reckless.

However, Chen Yi had seen too many dramatic turns of event regarding marriage alliances, not to mention it was not yet successful, even if it was,

The real determinants of the outcome would be strength and profit, not a marriage contract.

But no matter what, the Zhao Family was trying to change the outcome, which was a good thing for Chen Yi,

As long as peace is restored, Chen Yi could return to his peaceful cultivation life.

.....

"What is this?! I asked you for Mystical Ginseng of 200 years, you think you can fool me with one of 150 years?!

If the Heart-protecting Pill fails to be refined and the legitimate child of the Zhao Family dies, you will be held responsible!"

One day, Chen Yi was changing bandages for Zhao Chengde when he heard the voice of an old man from the next door physician's room.

"Brother Chengde, who is that speaking?"

Zhao Chengde whispered, "That's Old Qiu, a first tier top-grade pill alchemist who was the initial mentor for the young lady's alchemy many years ago. He went out to look for medicine a few years ago and only returned to the family in the recent years.

Old Qiu is a peculiar fellow, he was requested by the family head to come out of his retreat and supervise the frontline medical hall, he's the chief among you physicians,

I have to serve him cautiously as well, so don't provoke him."

"I understand."

Chen Yi appeared thoughtful. The Heart-protecting Pill was a first tier superior-grade pill. Currently, because Chen Yi's cultivation level was still at the Qi refining third layer, he didn't have sufficient magical power to support the process of concocting this pill.

However, Chen Yi had done research on the Heart-protection Pill. Technically speaking, as long as there was a 100 years old Mystical Ginseng serving as the main ingredient, the pill could be produced.

Of course, the success of the pill also depended on one's pill-making techniques. Lesser skilled alchemists often used spirit medicines of longer years to ensure the pill's effectiveness after it forms.

Chen Yi often did this as well, so it was not without reason.

After all, he was only a small pharmacist in the early stages of Qi cultivation. There was no need to expose such matters. It would just be like inviting Old Qiu to be an enemy for no good reason, wouldn't that be madness?

.....

After four or five months of peace and tranquillity,

Chen Yi was sitting and cultivating one day, when he felt a moment of bliss surging within.

Suddenly, he took a slow, deep breath of spiritual energy, causing the spiritual energy in the Gathering Spirit Array at his clinic to converge substantially in his living quarters.

It was like an old tortoise that had been buried at the bottom of a lake for centuries, emerging just as the lunar radiance was at its prime.

With each inhalation of the tortoise, a long thread of spiritual energy was sucked into Chen Yi's abdomen.

This movement alarmed others.

Breaking through a major realm greatly affected the natural environment, it was hard to keep it hidden from others.

However, everyone could feel that the speed at which Chen Yi absorbed the spiritual energy during his breakthrough seemed slow.

They guessed that he was just breaking through from the early stage of Qi cultivation to the mid-stage, and both his Spiritual Root Talent and the quality of his cultivation method were probably not that impressive, so they didn't pay further attention.

Chen Yi's absorption of spiritual energy during the breakthrough was indeed slow, but very sustained,

It wasn't until one hour later that Chen Yi finished the breakthrough,

At this time, his body was full of magical power, a main meridian had been opened up, and the characteristics of his Turtle Breath magical power had increased to a certain degree,

The overall strength of his Qi cultivation had doubled compared to the third layer.

After eight years of cultivation, at the age of twenty-five, Chen Yi successfully entered the ranks of mid-stage Qi cultivation,

This was a considerable achievement in the lower levels of the Immortal Cultivation World.

Chen Yi's breakthrough from the third layer to the fourth layer was smooth because of the characteristics of his Turtle Breath Magical Power.

However, given his long cultivation time, his peers, such as Zhao Chengyu, had already reached the sixth layer of Qi refining, and even Liu Huo had been in the fifth layer of Qi refining for a while.

Chen Yi's breakthrough to the fourth layer of Qi refining was not at all conspicuous.

So, he had no intention of hiding it.

Of course, for a breakthrough in the minor realm, there was not much of a bottleneck in the Turtle Breath Magical Power. However, when it comes to Foundation Establishment, a Foundation Establishment Pill was a necessity.

As for being sent to the frontline battlefield to fight with the cultivators from the Wu Family once he broke through to the mid-stage of Qi cultivation,

If the Zhao Family really did so,

Even he, a pill alchemist at the fourth layer of Qi refining, would have to go to the battlefield. That would mean the Zhao Family was in its final stages,

There would be no reason for him to stay in the Zhao Family,

He would just run away, he was on a peninsula right now, and he could dive into the water and go directly to the Martial World.

After entering the mid-stage of Qi cultivation, Chen Yi's magical power had greatly enhanced,

Now, there were many things he couldn't do before that he could do.

For example, practicing some practical magic like breathing underwater, the Soaring Skill, making higher-grade pills, trying to advance to the intermediate tier as a talisman master, and so on.

Moreover, if Chen Yi wanted to give up Mana Cultivation altogether, and solely rely on magical power to nourish his physical body, and used the Turtle Breath Magical Power to support his body cultivation, the magical power during the mid-stage of Qi cultivation could indeed play a significant role.

Of course, Chen Yi would not do this.

The Vajra Sutra was a good cultivation method, but the Turtle Breath Magical Power was not inferior. The ability to resist the power of time alone, granting Chen Yi longevity, made it impossible for him to give up.

Not to mention, the Turtle Breath Magical Power also had healing properties and could help him sense danger,

In this life, Chen Yi was destined to follow the path of both Mana and physical cultivation.
