Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 204 - 127: Rescue the Girl, Act on Urgency_2

Hmph, if there really were demon cultivators, especially if I encounter that Ghost Face from over a decade ago, I could squash him with one hand!"

Chen Yi finally understood. Unbeknownst to him, Zhao Chengyu had already become a Great Cultivator at the peak of the eighth layer of Qi Cultivation.

Perhaps he could reach the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation before he turned 40, which would give him twenty years to breakthrough Foundation Establishment. He truly was the exceptional talent of the Zhao Family's generation.

Looking at Liu Huo, he was stuck at the peak of the sixth layer of Qi Cultivation, immovable. With the steady progress of the Zhao family recently, both he and Zhao Chengyu were too busy doing business to risk their lives.

Liu Huo gradually calmed down and returned to a normal life.

The fate of a Four Spirit Root Talent is the peak of the sixth layer of Qi Cultivation. Very few can break through to the later stages of Qi Cultivation, unless they have a Breaking Tier Pill.

At the same time, Liu Huo trusted Chen Yi, knowing that Chen Yi's words were not unfounded.

After hearing it, Liu Huo became much more serious:

"Fortunately, I've brought my wives and children to Market Town. I'll go back and tell them not to go out for a few years."

Back at the shop, Chen Yi informed Zhao Chengyu of the same thing and advised her not to spread the word, not even to her close ones.

Zhao Chengyu trusted Chen Yi, she nodded seriously, her beautiful eyes staring at Chen Yi, exhaling softly:

"Thank you for your concern, don't worry, I'll be careful. I have a Gold Body Pill you gave me,

Even if I encounter a cultivator at the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation, I still have a chance to survive.

By the way, you said not to tell even the people close to me. Have you sensed something?"

Chen Yi shook his head, saying it was just a feeling.

.....

For the next two years, the Market Town was relatively calm. Due to Spirit Fish Island's reputation and the allure of its specialties—spirit fish and Lake Heart Blue—it attracted many visitors from the Immortal Cultivation World for business and vacation.

The market was gradually gaining momentum, and with the Zhao Family seemingly discovering a higher-ranked demon carp in Spirit Fish Lake,

The Tan Family, Zhao Family, and Wu Family discussed whether they should take this opportunity to host a mid-sized auction to attract more cultivators and increase Spirit Fish Island's popularity.

The more people came, the more the three families would earn.

The three families discussed for a while and finally decided to prepare for a year or two. Each family would bring out the best items they could get, and host a large auction.

Their Foundation Establishment elders were also willing to put in some effort to pull some strings.

During this time, Chen Yi's cultivation level had approached the sixth layer of Qi Cultivation and was predicted to break through soon.

What's worth mentioning is that last year, Chen Yi made a trip back to the Martial World.

Someone had offered a fire attribute spiritual object in exchange for two Ascension Pills.

Considering the quality of that Fire Crystal Stone and the difficulty of preserving it, Chen Yi agreed.

Now, he just needed a gold attribute ancient spiritual object to complete the Five Elements set,

Chen Yi wasn't far from refining an Ancient Spiritual Pill to enhance his spiritual roots.

During these two years, Chen Yi has also tried to refine Body-building Pills twice.

Although the second attempt was successful, producing a perfect Body-building Pill,

Chen Yi wasn't quite satisfied with the vitality and blood energy contained within it.

He felt like it was lacking something. After all, his Vajra Sutra, enhanced by an ancient breathing technique, was much stronger than other Body Refining Techniques of the same tier,

Using a normal version of the Body-building Pill could barely result in a successful breakthrough, but it was far from perfect.

During this time, he also visited Elder Feng to check some documents.

Elder Feng was now quite old, with Fen Xiaoru taking care of his courtyard.

During his visit, Chen Yi discovered quite a lot of knowledge about ancient pill techniques. After coming back, he combined this knowledge with Elder Feng's previous idea of using Turtle Snake blood to enhance the quality of pills,

Chen Yi vaguely had an idea in his mind, if he could find some powerful demon beast blood suitable for Body Cultivators, he might be able to slightly adjust the Pill Formula and refine a more potent Body-building Pill.

Currently, Chen Yi's Body Refining Cultivation has reached the peak of the third tier, and he was ready to breakthrough at any time.

However, perhaps due to the extended lifespan granted by the Turtle Breathing Technique, Chen Yi was in no hurry. He was planning to wait a bit longer, crafting a stronger Body-building Pill before attempting the breakthrough. If that's not feasible, he would make do with 2 or 3 standard Body-building Pills.

On the other hand,

A year ago, Song Chengcheng sent a letter stating that she had advanced to the eighth layer of Qi Cultivation. Also, because of her excellent performance in slaying demons in the Demon Territory, Qinglong Island had promoted her to an Inner Sect Disciple.

At the same time, she sent some spirit stones to repay the debts from previous years. Especially when repaying Wang Tengfei, she intentionally repaid 300 spirit stones to thank him for providing the Cold Iron.

Also, Song Chengcheng mentioned in the letter that the favor she owed would always be valid.

Chen Yi was very pleased after reading the letter. This girl had also reached the eighth layer of Qi Cultivation. Both she and Zhao Chengyu had a high likelihood of reaching Foundation Establishment. They only needed one Foundation Establishment Pill. The initial investment he made in this girl was gradually showing high returns.

However, there wasn't much space for Chen Yi to help Zhao Chengyu, it was even challenging for him to let Chengyu owe him a favor.

As for the favor owed to him for saving Zhao Chengyu sixteen years ago when she was a fledgling cultivator, that was repaid long ago.

"But, Zhao Chengyu and his sister, Zhao Chengjing are very close. I can take a detour by investing in Zhao Chengjing, which is equivalent to investing in Zhao Chengyu..."

In the last two years, Chen Yi's attitude towards Zhao Chengjing had softened.

After all, a girl so proactive and possessing beauty, youth, and talent, was truly a sight for sore eyes.
