Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 183 - 120: Scum Man_3

With that, the war came to an end,

Each of the three factions sent people to the island to catch fish, gather medicinal plants, and even established a small trade market town here.

Of course, on the surface, the three families coexisted harmoniously,

But beneath the surface, deep-seated hatred lingered, impossible to erase.

Both the Zhao and Wu Families had fiercely battled for years, even bringing down a Foundation Establishment cultivator, resulting in countless deaths and injuries amongst their disciples,

Especially Old Qiu's maneuvers behind the Zhao Family severely reduced their promising younger generation.

The Zhao Family could not just let it go without seeking revenge,

By the same token, the Wu Family felt the same, especially after the unexplained death of their first-tier alchemist, Old Qiu, within the Zhao Family's territory and the confiscation of his pure-blooded Purple Sand Mink.

Thus, during that period, the Elder of the Wu Family who managed the beast plaque was seen, after a long time, sneaking close to Zhao Family Island.

He had a method of detecting once the beast plaque gets closer to him,

But to his dismay, Chen Yi had been too much of a hermit. For three years after the incident at the medical office, he didn't leave Zhao Family Island,

This almost made Elder Wu vomit blood from sheer frustration,

Of course, this is a later stage story which will be discussed later.

Following the signing of the ceasefire and the agreement to divide Sprit Fish Island among the three families,

The Zhao Family quickly transitioned from wartime to recuperation as well as putting effort into seizing favorable positions in the Spirit Fish Island market town.

With the cessation of war, the number of injured decreased,

The workload of Chen Yi, the Lead Physician, decreased significantly,

His daily routine consisted of cultivating, refining pills and recuperating,

The medical office was moved back to Moon Lake Manor, and Chen Yi went back to being a physician only once a month, instead of full-time as before.

And after the cancellation of the marriage alliance with the Tan Family, someone else was very pleased,

That person was Zhao Chengjing, the young lady of the family.

With reduced combat and the cancellation of the arranged marriage,

Zhao Chengjing, who was in a cheerful mood, burst through the shackles of the late stage of Qi refining after recovering from her injury,

And became a master at the seventh layer of Qi refining!

At 30 years old and at the late stage of Qi refining, she was just on the threshold of potentially achieving Foundation Establishment,

This made the Zhao Family take her more seriously, not only bestowing upon her one of the three key positions of the next generation, but also promising her the right to choose her own cultivation partner.

Zhao Chengjing, elated, came all the way to Moon Lake Manor to thank Chen Yi,

She brought a fine spiritual alcohol to thank Chen Yi for saving her life,

Normally, with her spiritual roots talent, it would take her quite a long time to break through the seventh layer of Qi refining, unless she used a Breaking Tier Pill as an aid,

But after she was treated by Chen Yi during their last encounter, she felt a surge of life energy in her organs at the crucial moment of her breakthrough to the seventh layer of Qi refining,

This energy carried her through what seemed like a failing breakthrough.

Zhao Chengjing had no evidence, but she had an intuition that it was related to Chen Yi,

Therefore, even though she was now a seventh layer Qi refiner, she still showed great respect to Chen Yi, who was at the fourth layer of Qi refining, treating him as an equal peer,

Even occasionally allowing a girlish demeanor to slip through when discussing cultivation while sharing a drink,

Chen Yi, holding his cup of wine, watched the bashful expressions, sparkling eyes, the bright teeth flashing between the girl's clear voice, and her soft gaze curving like a crescent moon,

His mind seemed to fluctuate a little,

"Daoist Chen, have you ever thought of marrying any woman from the Zhao Family?"

Deep into their drinks, Zhao Chengjing somewhat intentionally asked this question, putting quite an emphasis on the word "any".

"I have not thought about it."

Chen Yi, pretending to be drunk or perhaps playing the fool, seemed not to understand the implication behind Zhao Chengjing's words.

"Why?"

Zhao Chengjing was very puzzled. Chen Yi might have been plausible to brush off her cousin Zhao Chengying, who lacked some appeal, particularly since Chen Yi possessed both a second-level body refining skill and status as an alchemist.

However, this time, her intentions were clear, and the Zhao Family clearly had more outstanding women.

"The Immortal Cultivation World is full of dangers. The Qi refining period is merely the lowest level, like bullet bait. Without achieving the Foundation Establishment stage, there is no basis for survival,

How could one dare to start a family?"

Chen Yi downed another cup of spiritual alcohol and for the second time voiced these thoughts.

Earlier, the Zhao and Wu Families were engaged in continuous struggles, leading to the fall of two Foundation Establishment elders. Therefore Chen Yi's words held some merit.

But...

Zhao Chengjing felt frustrated at his words but did not voice it,

You, a cultivator with the four spiritual roots and who cultivates the Turtle Breathing Technique, are approaching 30 and are still lingering in the fourth layer of Qi refining.

How could you dare to talk about establishing a family after you reach the Foundation Establishment stage?

Even for herself, Zhao Chengjing, if she wanted to succeed in Foundation Establishment, she would need a huge stroke of luck.

Despite having suitable martial arts, being of a suitable age, having a full vitality and blood, divine sense and spiritual power that met the requirements for the Foundation Establishment phase,

The Foundation Establishment pill was still beyond her reach.

Otherwise, why would the huge Zhao Family only have two Foundation Establishment cultivators?

Is it because they lack masters at the ninth layer of Qi cultivation?

No, they are lacking the Foundation Establishment pill!

Zhao Chengjing sighed inwardly, unsure of where the future lies, and continued to drink alone.

After a long silence, under the moonlight, both of them had nearly finished their drinks,

Chen Yi did not ask her to stay for the night, but led Zhao Chengjing to leave alone.

It wasn't that Chen Yi was a bad person, he understood a woman's feelings too,

It's just that he had secrets of his own in this life. His path in immortal cultivation is supposed to be a long one due to his cultivation method and possessing two worlds,

Marrying into a family and living the rest of his life there, wasn't something Chen Yi was capable of, nor was it the path he should take,

This life, he was destined to journey far alone.

Considering the immortals and beauties he would come across, Chen Yi didn't mind pursuing a relationship,

But he couldn't commit to a lifelong relationship or marrying into a family to live for a lifetime.

Chen Yi admired Zhao Chengjing, yet he couldn't promise anything.

...

One year later, Liu Huo happily came to Chen Yi's residence,

"Brother Chen! I have good news to report to you, my second son Zhao Pingan turned three, and after special testing, he has a three spiritual roots talent!"

Chen Yi was taken aback. Wasn't Liu Huo's second son named Liu Pingan in the past?

Oh, because he now had spiritual roots, they changed his surname to Zhao...

Chen Yi congratulated him and gave Liu Huo a bottle of basic Peiyuan Pills as a gift.

"By the way, Brother Chen, Song Chengcheng sent a message a while ago, this is for you, I brought it."
