Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 195 - 124 Alchemist at the Store_2

In the next moment, the Second Young Master of the Tan Family changed the topic:

"Miss Zhao, to express my apology, I, Tan Zhen, am willing to take you as my legitimate wife and offer 30% of the profits from this market town as a betrothal gift.

What do you think?

Mr. Zhao, I, Tan, am a man of my word. You can also discuss this matter with the elders in your family."

Tan Zhen spoke politely and sincerely.

Moreover, the Tan Family is more influential than the Zhao Family and is the real master of this market town. The terms of the betrothal gift he proposed were incredibly generous.

Hearing this, Zhao Chengyu, who was initially furious, took some time to consider it.

However, with this being said, the banquet naturally ended.

After speaking, the Second Young Master Tan stood up to leave, leaving the siblings of the Zhao family at a loss for a moment.

Zhao Chengyu looked at his sister afterwards and saw Zhao Chengjing shake her head.

"Little brother, you will be the head of the family in the future. Don't just look at the surface of matters. A legitimate wife, thirty percent of profits...

Is the Tan Family's business really that straightforward?

I suspect they have their eyes on our Zhao family's properties.

Moreover, am I, a top-ranked Alchemist, only worth this much? Hmph, they are really underestimating me, Zhao Chengjing!"

After returning to the store, Zhao Chengjing told Chen Yi about the incident.

Chen Yi just acted as a listener, from beginning to end, he kept smiling and listening, without giving any opinions.

"Miss, the dealings among your rich households have nothing to do with me..."

Seeing that Chen Yi had no reaction of anger, Zhao Chengjing felt a bit downcast, gave a wave of her hand, and left.

As for this matter, because Zhao Chengjing was unwilling, it went no further in the Zhao Family.

Fortunately, the Second Young Master Tan did not cause excessive trouble afterwards. In the Market Town, he treated all of Zhao Family's stores the same as any other, without discrimination.

....

Two years later, in the Cave Mansion on Spirit Fish Island.

Chen Yi put away a furnace of pills.

Looking at the four out of five pills in his hand, each having the perfect three pill markings, he wore a satisfied expression:

"Now, my success rate of refining top quality Strengthening Blood Pills has reached over 80%. I estimate the time for me to start refining Body-building Pills is not far."

Now, Chen Yi's cultivation at the Fifth Layer of Qi Refining had progressed about one-third, but his Body Refining Cultivation was about to reach the peak of Muscle Refining.

These two years, Chen Yi made rapid progress in Alchemy Skill.

His real level of pill refinement was already no less than that of Zhao Chengjing. For common top quality pill, Chen Yi could maintain a success rate of over 50%.

For some top-quality pills that Chen Yi needed, such as those for pill refinement, nurturing Spirit Beasts, and potentially pre-preparation pills for Foundation Establishment Pills in the future,

Chen Yi could achieve a success rate of 80%,

Not to mention that he could also refine injury-healing pills and Vajra pills, two kinds of top-quality pills imbued with Dao essence.

However, in his external display, over these two years, Chen Yi had gradually exposed some of his abilities to refine mid-grade pills.

Now, in Zhao Family's pill store, apart from a few top-grade pills that were processed personally by Miss Zhao,

Most low- and mid-grade pills were all made by Chen Yi.

This was the result of Zhao Chengjing sparing no expense for two years, using the store's profits to nurture Chen Yi into a mid-grade Alchemist,

Now, Chen Yi could almost support it by himself, so Zhao Chengjing didn't need to stay here too often.

Along the way, she hinted at Chen Yi about Cultivation Partners several times, but Chen Yi never gave a positive response, which made her frustrated a few times.

But she was not a person who would easily admit defeat. She had sworn determinedly that she would do whatever it takes to keep Chen Yi in the Zhao family,

But even now, after almost using all her measures, she still couldn't make Chen Yi leave a promise,

So, while she was gritting her teeth in anger, she also couldn't help coming to see Chen Yi from time to time, accompanying him to sit, eat, and chat.

In these two years, Chen Yi had returned to the Martial World twice.

The first time, Chen Yi produced three Ascension Pills in Lakeside County and announced that he would exchange them only for ancient spiritual objects, and the value of these objects would be determined by him.

The effect of the Ascension Pills was no longer a secret among the martial arts experts and some major martial forces, ever since the emergence of three new Vajra Kung Fu masters at Bright Temple.

News of Chen Yi's reappearance after several years of absence, along with three Ascension Pills,

Immediately stirred up the entire Martial World.

Lakeside County became incredibly lively for a while,

However, at the beginning, those who came had various ill intentions.

After Chen Yi wiped out five Martial families who had the peak of "Huajin" strength and killed two experts, the people who came later finally behaved.

Now, everyone knew about Chen Yi's real strength, which was considered to be at the top among the experts.

Afterwards, everyone began to prepare for serious trading.

Among them, the Zhao Family in Lakeside County brought out a piece of deadwood and traded it for one of Chen Yi's Ascension Pills.

The Dao Yuan Palace, a force of martial art experts, presented a bag of black soil and got another Ascension Pill from Chen Yi.

As for the last pill, no one could produce anything that satisfied Chen Yi.

It was the person from Bright Temple who promised that Chen Yi could visit Bright Temple in the future and use the power of the Temple Treasure, the Vajra Ring, to nurture his Golden Body, who got the final Ascension Pill from Chen Yi.

At the same time, Chen Yi also dropped some hints about a place in the Demon Territory, a perennial glacier site where there might be something he wanted.

Chen Yi said that he knew about it but was unwilling to take the risk.

He left a message that he would come again in three years and that the families possessing these ancient spiritual objects to come and trade then.

This news again stirred up many waves in the Martial World.

Now, the threat of Spirit Beasts was growing, and everyone was more eager for the strength of expert Martial Artists,
