Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 186 - 121: Reunion After Ten Years_3

Who would have thought, this little fellow had figured it out on his own,

Thinking about it, Chen Yi took out a 200-year-old Mystical Ginseng and tossed it to it:

"I don't have time to refine a pill, and I haven't learned how to do it yet. You can eat this Mystical Ginseng for now,

Hmm, you're always chubby and plump. If you can't breakthrough after eating this good stuff, be careful, I might stew you up!"

"Squeak! Squeak!!"

The Purple Sand Mink was extremely thrilled, seizing the Mystical Ginseng with both paws and quickly dashed to the ground,

It turned back to bow towards Chen Yi, expressing gratitude,

Then it quickly burrowed underground.

Chen Yi shook his head with a smile,

This Mystical Ginseng is one of the primary ingredients for refining Heart-protecting Pills, previously used by Chen Yi for training,

Now his proficiency is no longer a problem, he's just waiting to break through to the Fifth Layer of Qi Refining and officially commence pill refinement,

By then, he'll have a 300-year-old Mystical Ginseng for his own use, enough for refining two or three furnaces,

As for this 200-year-plus Spiritual Grass, its value is too high, easily a three-digit spirit stone, it's not easy to sell outside, better to absorb it himself.

If this little thing can break through to the Late Stage of Qi Cultivation, it would have a significant breakthrough in combat ability, quite useful for warning or guarding in the future.

.....

Shaking his head, Chen Yi took out the letters, one from Song Chengcheng and the other from Zhao Chengyu.

First, Song Chengcheng was pleasantly surprised and congratulated Chen Yi for being able to refine top-quality Peiyuan Pills, which means Chen Yi's alchemy skills have basically reached the mid-level of the first-tier,

Having a talented Alchemist friend is a desirable thing that no Immortal Cultivator would refuse,

After all, pills are meant to be eaten, and whether an Alchemist can be trusted is very important. If an Alchemist has ill-intentions and sabotages the pill, the consequences are…

Next, Song Chengcheng stated that she had stabilized her Mana at the Seventh Layer of Qi Cultivation, and wanted to go out to complete two sect missions, and meet a few friends,

As for the specifics, Song Chengcheng didn't mention in the letter,

But Chen Yi speculated that she might be seeking help, yet concerned that the letter could not be entirely confidential, so she did not mention much.

Following Song Chengcheng's letter, Zhao Chengyu also left one for Chen Yi,

The content was about how these potential cultivators have not seen each other for nearly a decade,

This time, as Song Chengcheng was coming out from Qinglong Island, Zhao Chengyu decided to host a gathering at the Zhao Family Restaurant in the Market Town of Spirit Fish Island,

And invited Chen Yi to attend.

Four years ago, Zhao, Wu, and Tan families negotiated and divided the resources of Spirit Fish Island,

The result was that the Wu Family got the Spirit Fish and the Zhao Family got the Lake Heart Blue,

But as the value of Lake Heart Blue was significantly higher than Spirit Fish,

In order to balance,

The Zhao family spent more money and effort to build a top-tier array on the island, channeling the water and earth spiritual veins of Spirit Fish Island to the surface,

Secondly, the Great Array was used for the protection of the Market Town on Spirit Fish Island.

Yes, after the Zhao and Wu families took the resources, the Tan Family chose the remaining twenty percent to be the island's spiritual vein reserves,

And the Tan Family wanted to establish a Market Town on this island,

In four years, the Tan Family had broadened its recruitment, and swiftly constructed dozens of Cave Mansions with spiritual veins not weaker than first-tier ones, along with supporting shops,

At the same time, the Tan Family widely posted recruitment notices, attracting many families from nearby to open shops at a relatively low rental price,

In four years, Spirit Fish Island evolved from a battlefield into a more comprehensive family-oriented Market Town,

Of course, being close to the water gives you first access to the moon, both the Zhao and Wu families also gained the usage rights to several shops.

Zhao Chengyu even built a restaurant in the most prime location, named Spirit Fish Banquet, specializing in the spirit fish from the lake.

Because the spirit fish in the lake are fresh, they also carry the bloodline of the demon carp, which provides excellent aid in enhancing physical bodies.

In particular, occasionally there would be a Red Blooded Demon Carp going on sale via auctions, which attracted numerous body cultivators of the second and third tiers who came for its reputation.

Therefore, Spirit Fish Island gained its fame quickly. Over the years, an increasing number of loose cultivators came to Spirit Fish Island for leisure, vacations, and dining.

In recent years, the scale of the Spirit Fish Market Town has gradually expanded,

and Zhao Chengyu has made quite a few spirit stones,

which is why this time he generously offered three private rooms in the Spirit Fish Banquet restaurant for Song Chengcheng, Chen Yi, and Wang Tengfei to stay for two months,

As for Zhao Chengyu and Liu Huo, they were already the owners and shopkeeper of the restaurant, so they naturally had rooms.

Seeing this, Chen Yi was glad to join them,

Now that the war has ceased, all three families appear harmonious on the surface. Everyone is scrambling to seize resources and earn spirit stones,

The Spirit Fish Market Town is also safe as an alchemist from Tan Family stations there.

This time they're meeting just at their doorstep, so the danger level is minor,

Moreover, Chen Yi also needed to go out and proceed with some exchanges and trades.

...

Three months later, in the A1 private room of the Spirit Fish Banquet restaurant on Spirit Fish Island,

Zhao Chengyu, Song Chengcheng, Wang Tengfei, Liu Huo, and Chen Yi, sat around a table,

This reunion brought one person less than the one ten years ago. Zhang Shigui was missing, but no one liked him, so none of them mentioned him.

Now, all five have spent thirteen years in the Immortal Cultivation World and Chen Yi has just turned thirty.

Over these years, everyone else has changed significantly,

Zhao Chengyu raised his glass to signal a toast. He had made great progress in his spiritual cultivation and had just stepped into the eighth layer of Qi cultivation. Being the owner of the most popular restaurant in the Spirit Fish Market, he was still young, but radiated an air of maturity and superiority.

As the shopkeeper of the restaurant and the father of three children, Liu Huo had grown a small mustache. His body, muscular and sturdy, was a far cry from the slender fisherman he was more than a decade ago.

Wang Tengfei had also changed a bit. He had now entered the sixth layer of Qi cultivation. As a cultivator with three spiritual roots, his level was deemed standard.

He had become more affable than before, at least he had made considerable progress in his interactions with others,

It seemed that living in the Immortal Cultivation World for more than ten years had changed the once introverted boy quite a lot.

But the most significant change was in Song Chengcheng. She was now composed and cultivated at the late stage of Qi cultivation stage, appearing indeed like a top-ranking fairy. Her every move exuded a faint aura of immortality,

At first sight of her, Liu Huo and Wang Tengfei felt uneasy,

Even Zhao Chengyu occasionally glanced at Song Chengcheng, scheming something in his mind.

But Chen Yi kept his calm and faced everything with a faint smile throughout,

Although Chen Yi's cultivation level was only at the fourth layer of Qi cultivation, making him the one with the lowest cultivation level here,

He was, however, the only one whose appearance hadn't changed much over the years, still retaining the vitality of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth,

Added to that his attitude of being detached from time,

He sat there, more relaxed and composed than any other male cultivator,

As if this gathering today was like a tiny drop in the endless river of his life, not even amounting to a splash...

This attracted a few more glances from Song Chengcheng. She recalled thirteen years ago, when they were all on the boat,

Chen Yi had been chatting with everyone with this kind of attitude and gaze.

At 30, still lingering at the fourth layer of Qi refining stage, was he really not in a hurry?
