Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 190 - 122: Loose Cultivator Alliance - Goldfish Island_4

The rent was as high as 20 spirit stones a year!

If it weren't for its quality, equivalent to a first-tier top-grade spiritual vein, Chen Yi would never spend such a ridiculous amount of money.

Luckily, Chen Yi is not short of spirit stones, with over 400 in his storage bag alone, most of which were generously contributed by Old Qiu,

Many high-grade spirit medicines, pills, and three magical instruments were all contributed by him,

He's a good person.

.....

In the time that followed, Chen Yi, under various disguises, visited everything from street-side stalls, to major pill shops, talisman shops, Treasure Pavilion, renowned businesses, etc,

he also set up his own booth to sell things and participated in small auctions,

Converting all the unusable pills and magical instruments in his storage bag into spirit stones, totaling 1873 stones,

quickly, he again exchanged the spirit stones for things he needed,

including five high-grade pill recipes, one top-grade pill recipe, advanced beast pills, top-grade breakthrough pills such as Jade Heart Pill, body-building pills, and top-grade foundation establishment pills, etc,

In the auction, Chen Yi was able to obtain a not-so-popular magic, the Shadow Skill,

This magic harnesses the principle of light reflection. Upon mastery, one can reduce their light reflection to the weakest, when within shadows, this can achieve an effect that is undetectable by the eye,

This magic has little use in the Immortal Cultivation World, because everyone uses divine senses to identify people,

But for Chen Yi, its effect is significant, because in his Turtle Breath Calming Technique, the calming part is the top-notch restraint skill,

As long as Chen Yi stays completely still, he can even reduce the fluctuations of his internal mana to one percent,

Even when scanned by the divine sense of someone at the foundation establishment period, it's easy to miss him.

If you combine the Restraint Skill with the Shadow Skill, Chen Yi can achieve many things.

In addition, Chen Yi also purchased a few body cultivation techniques, adding a few physical offensive and defensive methods apart from the Vajra Sutra's defense and running, more on this later.

The rest, like Sword Control Skill, Underwater Breathing Skill, the preliminary stage of the Water Escape Skill namely the Water Melding Skill, and so on, will not be mentioned one by one,

All in all, all of this cost Chen Yi more than 2000 spirit stones, spending nearly all of what he had amassed over the past decade, exchanged for things he will need later,

Next, he plans to lay low for a while and not emerge until he reaches the late stage of Qi cultivation.

After the late stages of Qi cultivation, Chen Yi needs to leave the Zhao family, muster up the ingredients for the Foundation Establishment Pill, and prepare for his foundation establishment long in advance.

Worth mentioning, Chen Yi was afraid of being targeted when selling his items,

He did not sell the few over 300-year-old spirit medicine in his storage bag, either preparing them for pill refining later, or feeding them to the sand marten.

Those items could be worth hundreds of spirit stones each, even in this market town, it was not safe.

Half a year later, Chen Yi went to the He family refining workshop as promised and obtained a top-tier high-grade flying sword and an early high-grade sword embryo.

Both are of the cold ice attribute, suitable for Song Chengcheng's water-attributed technique and for Chen Yi,

His Turtle Breath Technique also leans towards the water-attributed.

After getting the flying sword, Chen Yi gave up the rented Cave Mansion,

But he did not leave the Market Town immediately,

Instead, he changed his appearance, switched several identities and inns, and stayed for two more months, only then preparing to leave.

Along the way, Chen Yi predicted his own fortune and misfortune every few days using Turtle Breath Magical Power,

Before coming here, he knew that there will be some trials,

But what he didn't expect was that he had been so careful this past half year, yet every time he predicted his fortune and misfortune, that grey irritation did not completely fade away,

Especially in recent days, he felt the grey color getting closer,

"Who on earth is keeping an eye on me, that I managed to shake them off even while being so discreet?"

But that grey feeling was only irritation, a bit worse than when Old Qiu was angry,

Chen Yi simply didn't wait, he decided to take the offensive.

A month later, Chen Yi boarded the official passenger ship leaving Goldfish Island,

But when the ship stopped for a break midway, a malfunction in the array method occurred, all passengers were forced to get off at that transfer station and change ships,

During this time, Chen Yi disguised himself and left alone on a flying Lotus-shaped Artifact.

Just when the warning sign on his forehead was getting closer,

Chen Yi bypassed a large reef and hid directly in the water.

Not long after, a skinny old man hurried over, looked around the area:

"Huh, where did that kid go?"

Then, he pulled out a magical compass, casted a magic formula, the pointer on the compass swung back and forth, finally indicating a certain location underwater.

The skinny old man showed his yellow teeth and sneered:

"Kid, don't blame me for being ruthless, blame yourself for disguising and going to three stores to sell pills that startled my treasure-hunting disc.

A mere fifth layer Qi cultivator, possessing such valuables, even though I've retired for many years, I couldn't help but come out again..."
