Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 208 - 128 Darling Chen Yi_3

Before leaving, he gave Zhao Chengjing a private order: "Chengjing, you're no longer young. If you are interested in that alchemist, I can make an exception and allow him to marry into our family.

I've heard of him, a mid-level alchemist who can produce high-quality pills for a price. He's a cultivator who practices the Turtle Breathing Technique, barely qualifying to be admitted into the Zhao family."

"Oh..." Zhao Chengjing replied quietly, then cautiously asked,

"Father, what if I want to leave the Zhao family?"

Bang!!

"I'll break your legs!"

Zhao Chongjian was angry: "The family has invested thousands of spirit stones in you over the years, training you to be a high-grade alchemist, in the late stage of Qi Cultivation, and you just want to leave?!"

"If you dare to harbor such thoughts, be careful that I may just kill your beloved!"

"Hmph!"

Zhao Chongjian left in a huff.

Zhao Chengjing sighed softly. In the presence of a Foundation Establishment Head, a Qi Refining Cultivator is nothing.

The road she and Chen Yi had to tread was still long...

.....

Market Town, Tan Family Base.

The Second Young Master of Tan Family, Tan Zhen, was also frustrated. He was severely reprimanded by his uncle.

This time, the Zhao family found a first-tier medium-grade Red Blooded Demon Carp in Spirit Fish Lake, which greatly increased the Zhao family's influence in the upcoming auction.

Furthermore, the rise of Zhao family's restaurant and two new alchemists greatly increased their income over the years, a scenario Tan family didn't want to see.

His initial plan was to deal with the unimpressive alchemist Chen Yi, but Chen had been elusive, remaining in the town for years without venturing out.

Lacking options, he decided to take a risk and target Zhao Chengjing, the Elder Miss of Zhao family.

He thought that having one Qi Refining Seventh Layer and a peak Qi Refiner would have been enough to make the operation smooth, but unexpectedly, the young lady had a top-grade Gold Body Pill for defense and managed to escape back to town.

Moreover, the Zhao family's Foundation Establishment Period healer managed to save her.

Now, the person was alive, the operation failed, and in order to keep the other businesses in town silent, the Tan family had to spend a fortune.

"What a pair of wastes!"

The Second Young Master was furious. This was a complete failure that not only did not result in success, but also inflated the Zhao family's influence.

Moreover, he was instructed by his uncle not to make a move in the short term, or else it would cast a devastating blow on the Spirit Fish Island Market Town.

.....

Even though the Zhao family, the Tan family, and even Zhao Chengjing herself did not have the intention to seek revenge,

Chen Yi could not just let things go.

The peak Qi Refiner remained unknown, but there wasn't much he could do about it for now.

However, Old Zeng next door was always around and he was annoying Chen Yi. Chen Yi felt a need to kill him.

Moreover, Chen Yi noticed something wrong with Tan family's attitude towards the Demon Cultivator.

If even he could detect the presence of a demon cultivator amidst the town's merchants, how come the Tan family, who was in control of the town's array and had deep insights into the town, could not find any clues?

Something was wrong.

The Tan family should be watched out for in the future.

However, in order not to startle the serpent, he remained quiet for the time being.

.....

More than a year later, Chen Yi woke up from Zhao Chengjing's Cave Mansion,

He used a cleansing spell, tidied up his body, and started to dress.

Scattered all over the bed and floor were clothes, short skirts, belly bands, fresh long socks, hair ribbons, and so on.

In the bed, a long, delicate, fair body was quietly sleeping. Her figure was enticing, and her natural scent enveloped the room.

It was Zhao Chengjing.

....., , ...

"Darling Chen~, what are you thinking about?"

Zhao Chengjing hugged Chen Yi from behind,

Warm, soft, and fragrant, she surrounded him.

"I'm not far from the Sixth Layer of Qi Cultivation. In about ten years, I should be able to reach the edge of the Qi Refining Seventh Layer. Have you thought about your plan?"

"Ah..." Zhao Chengjing sighed softly, "Father won't let me go unless I can pay him back double for the spirit stones the family spent on my cultivation, which is at least 3000 spirit stones.

Let's see how the auction goes this time. Our pill store has been making more and more income lately. Maybe we can accumulate enough spirit stones in ten years and then we will run away together,

Don't you think it's a good idea?"

The intelligence of a woman in love does indeed decline.

Chen Yi sighed,

Even if you were able to pay back 3000 spirit stones, your father would not let you go.

You, a high-grade alchemist, are an indispensable money-making machine to the Zhao family. No amount of money would make them let you go,

Unless you have the power to suppress the head of the Zhao family, forcing him to admit his loss...

With that thought in mind,

Chen Yi hugged her back and comforted: "Don't worry, we will find a way."

"Mm~! Wait for the auction at the end of the year, I will try to persuade Father again."

Zhao Chengjing was indulging in pleasant thoughts and Chen Yi didn't have the heart to spoil it for her,

Speaking of the auction, the Tan family managed to bring a Foundation Establishment Pill this time!

Although it was substandard, it would drive these Loose Cultivators and families mad.

At the auction, Chen Yi also had something he wanted to buy.

Maybe he would have to bid under the banner of the Zhao family,

Over the years, he had accumulated quite a few spirit stones.

But before the auction, one issue had to be resolved.

....

Over the past year, Chen Yi had unintentionally restored some distance with Old Zeng next door,

They often chatted and drank tea,

One day, while Chen Yi was having tea with Old Zeng, he took out a tea bag from his Storage Bag:

"Old Zeng, I'm always drinking your tea. Try my spirit medicine tea."

As he spoke, Chen Yi naturally took out a new teapot and poured his medicinal tea into it.

Old Zeng's eyes flickered with alertness for a moment, but he quickly hid it again,

"Brother Chen, what is this?"

"Hey, you know what I do, right? I've recently made some progress in my pill formulations and improved the recipe of a slow-acting health tea. Have a try~

What, after all these years of friendship, you don't trust me?"

As he spoke, Chen Yi poured the tea into two cups. With a flick of his mana, a cup appeared in front of each of them,

Chen Yi laughed and drank his cup first.
