Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 184 - 121: Reunion After Ten Years

Chen Yi, curious, opened the letter. It turned out that Song Chengcheng already knew that he had become a lower-grade alchemist.

At the beginning of the letter, Song Chengcheng playfully addressed Chen Yi as Alchemist Chen,

recalling his request for her to change her form of address at their last gathering.

She first congratulated Chen Yi on becoming a first-tier alchemist, saying that he can now secure his position in the Zhao Family and his status is incomparable to that of his peers who are still in the early stages of cultivation.

Simultaneously, Song Chengcheng disclosed some information about her own recent situation.

She had now reached the peak of the sixth layer of Qi Cultivation and was preparing to break through to the seventh.

She stated that after entering the late stage of Qi Cultivation, she had to start preparing for the Foundation Establishment Pill. Although resources at her Qinglong Island Sect were easier to obtain, the Foundation Establishment Pills, extremely valuable during the Qi Cultivation period, were still fiercely contested.

She mentioned that when she reaches the late stage of Qi Cultivation, she wishes to strive for a position among the Inner Sect Disciples. At that time, she would be competing with the genius disciples at the eighth and ninth layers of Qi Cultivation.

In her letter, Song Chengcheng subtly revealed that her late-stage Foundation Establishment mentor wouldn't be able to assist her much, and a grandson of a Pseudo-core Elder from her sect seemed to be pestering her.

The Elder's grandson was a philanderer who collected every woman he came across.

It seemed that Song Chengcheng's mentor had received a warning and couldn't provide her with many resources.

So, her plan was to hope that these few fellow townsmen, her friends, could assist her in a few years.

Chen Yi pondered. Song Chengcheng should belong to the middle-lower tier in the disciples of Qinglong Island because most disciples selected from the young cultivators were Dual Spirit Roots.

Once those individuals entered Qinglong Island, they would basically secure a seat among the Inner Sect Disciples.

As for Song Chengcheng, she was among the top in the three Spirit Roots, possibly carrying a little bit of special Water-Attribute Spirit Root Qualification,

Among the disciples of Qinglong Island, she was somewhat stronger than the Immortal Second Generations who relied on the residual aura of their elders for growth. After all, in this age when heavenly and earthly treasures had become extinct, even the descendants of Core Formation Ancestors found it hard to improve their Spiritual Root Qualifications.

Her striving for a seat among the Inner Sect Disciples had some hope, but it would be difficult for her to achieve so on her own, especially when her mentor was unwilling to help.

Turning to these few hometown friends for help at this time, Chen Yi was considering how much help he could offer, the risks involved, and the possible benefits.

Five years ago, during a gathering, Song Chengcheng had once "paid" Chen Yi twenty spirit stones as his alchemy fund.

Twenty spirit stones weren't many to the current Chen Yi,

but years ago, when these people had just stepped into the Immortal Cultivation World, it was the most difficult time when they needed spirit stones the most. Song Chengcheng's willingness to actively help Chen Yi,

didn't involve much self-interest. She might have simply had faith in Chen Yi and didn't want him to be oppressed by the Immortal Cultivation Family like other young cultivators.

Based on this alone, Chen Yi was willing to help her.

Furthermore, Song Chengcheng was a disciple of the most formidable force in Ten Thousand Islands Lake. Her future prospects might not be very different from those of the Dual Spirit Roots Zhao Chengyu.

Investing in her now, before she grows, might be of benefit if she successfully establishes her foundation one day. Having a friend who's a successful Foundation Establishment cultivator would make it more convenient for Chen Yi to get by, especially when he has to display his flag.

No matter how you look at it, aiding Song Chengcheng is more worthwhile than aiding Liu Huo. Not to mention, Chen Yi had always treated Liu Huo well.

After considering this, Chen Yi talked about his current situation in his reply. He was earning some money working as a physician at the clinic and was making some progress in alchemy.

When he replied to Song Chengcheng's letter, he included two bottles of pills: one quality Peiyuan Pills and one quality Iron Skin Pill.

The quality Peiyuan Pill was a promise to repay the debt of the twenty spirit stones.

At the same time, he also fulfilled Song Chengcheng's previous expectations. After all, when Song Chengcheng gave Chen Yi the spirit stones before, she probably didn't imagine that he could actually craft quality Peiyuan Pills.

The bottle containing two Iron Skin Pills was Chen Yi's support for Song Chengcheng. Whether she was competing for a position in the sect or participating in the Inner Sect competition, those two defensive pills would greatly enhance her safety.

As for how much help Song Chengcheng would need in the future, he would deal with that according to her needs then.

Chen Yi was currently on the verge of mastering high-grade pills. At this point, giving two lower-grade quality pills to a friend isn't too extravagant,

He trusted that Song Chengcheng wouldn't speak out of turn. In a few years, even if everyone knew about Chen Yi's alchemy level,

he might have reached the fourth level of Body Refining Cultivation, and he could concentrate on Body Refining Foundation Building, so he wouldn't need to worry too much.

In the end, everything still depended on one's strength.

Now, Chen Yi's Body Refining Cultivation was getting closer and closer to Muscle Refining Perfection,

It was about time he prepared to tackle the issues regarding Body Refining Foundation Building.

Before, he had obtained the Heart-Protecting Pill formula from Old Qiu's storage bag. This was a high-grade pill, and Old Qiu's storage bag contained plenty of spirit medicines for crafting this pill,

He had already started learning to craft this pill.

At Chen Yi's current alchemy level, creating a first-tier middle-grade pill was more than enough, and for several healing pills and Diamond Pills, he had an 80% chance of creating top-quality pills.

Given his current alchemy level, the difficulty of creating high-grade pills wasn't an issue for Chen Yi.

What tested him was his level of Mana. Making high-grade pills required a high total amount of Mana, endurance of Mana, and control abilities of spiritual consciousness.

Generally speaking, a cultivator at the sixth layer of Qi Cultivation barely had enough Magic and spiritual consciousness to craft simple high-grade pills,

Yet Chen Yi's Turtle Breath Magical Power had the characteristic of being long-lasting, which allowed Chen Yi to challenge the craft of high-grade pills earlier.
