Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 209 - 129: First Tier Intermediate Red Blooded Demon Carp

Old Zeng watched as Chen Yi drank down, his mind spinning in an instant.

Is this kid suspecting something and setting a trap to poison me?

But if he didn't drink now, it would make him look suspicious, drawing more suspicion onto himself.

Old Zeng reflected on his relationship with Chen Yi over the past few years, confident that he hadn't let any slip ups occur,

Remembering that he had just broken through to the eighth layer of Qi cultivation, he was confident that even if there was an issue, he could easily eliminate this boy of the fifth layer of Qi cultivation.

So, he too laughed heartily, clapped and drank it down.

Half a moment later,

Nothing had happened.

No, actually something had happened.

Old Zeng felt a gentle yet distant surge of spiritual energy enter his mouth and seep into his heart, making his recently improved cultivation level increase even further!

He was a bit startled, "Brother, this tea?"

"Hehe, how is it? I told you, this is my secret recipe, a newly blended Spirit Tea, the effect is no worse than the Qi Nourishing Pills you've been taking!"

"Indeed, the effect is too good, it's at least ten times better than my Spirit Tea! Brother Chen, do you have any more of this specially made tea? Can you spare some for me? I'm willing to buy it with spirit stones!"

However, Chen Yi shook his head, "I don't have any more. This Spirit Tea is not a finished product yet. I'm still working on the formula. When I have a new batch ready, I'll let Brother Zeng have a taste."

When this old codger first took a sip, he was suspicious. After sipping it down and realizing that it truly was a spiritual object helpful for cultivation, he became a bit relieved.

But, was this old man hoping to take the Spirit Tea away to get it checked by some expert behind the scenes?

Chen Yi had specially developed this Spirit Tea based on some attributes of the demonic energy he intercepted when he treated Zhao Chengjing's injury last time.

The apparent benefit was to enhance cultivation abilities, but its real purpose...

Heh, it would surely give everyone a nice surprise later.

"Ah alas, what a pity!"

Regret was painted on Old Zeng's face.

.....

Time flew quickly and the end of the year was approaching.

The preparations for the auction on Spirit Fish Island were in full swing,

Due to the potential presence of a low-quality Foundation Establishment Pill, almost all of the major families and Late Stage Qi Cultivators, especially those at the peak of Qi cultivation, from within tens of thousands of miles came.

During this period, the businesses on Spirit Fish Island were booming, all inns in the town were filled to capacity, and every room in Zhao Chengyu's restaurant was reserved for months ahead.

The thriving business during this period made all the shops in the town make a fortune.

Meanwhile, Zhao Chengyu also invited his friends Song Chengcheng and Wang Tengfei over.

Especially Song Chengcheng, she was already at the eighth layer of Qi Cultivation, soon to reach the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation, facing the issue of Foundation Establishment.

Although there were opportunities to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill within the sect, competition was fierce. So if she could get one at the auction, it would save her a lot of effort.

Of course, with more cultivators, the population grew more diverse.

During this time, several incidents involving bandit cultivators robbing others occurred within and outside the town.

Fortunately, Tan Family's law enforcement team was well-strengthened, having captured and punished all the bandit cultivators that showed up near the town within three days,

So, order was fairly well maintained.

But, there were bandit cultivators who didn't come to the island, lingering offshore and possessing fast speeds. After committing several cases they had managed to escape Tan's family pursuit.

There was even a time when a member of the Tan Family disguised as a cultivator in the Qi Refining Period within a merchant group, intending to lure the bandit cultivators. But the bandit cultivator attacked from a great distance, never approaching. As soon as the Foundation Establishment cultivator sprung into action, they recognized it and managed to escape, paying a price.

It left Tan's Foundation Establishment cultivator helpless and instead made the bandit cultivator hold a grudge against them.

Such happenings were common in the Immortal Cultivation World. Wherever there were cultivators, bandit cultivators could be found. In consideration of Tan Family's law enforcement team's earnestness,

The passion of the cultivators for coming to Spirit Fish Island did not decrease,

Furthermore, most of them came for the Foundation Establishment Pill this time, hence they had enough confidence to protect themselves.

...

In this period, Chen Yi had nearly completed his research on the formula for the Body-building Pill, and other enhancing spirit medicines were also well-prepared, with only a mid-tiered first-tier Red Blooded Demon Carp needed now.

This fish, however, was found by the Zhao family and successfully caught, and was one of the attractions at this auction.

The effects of this fish were greatly enticing to Body Cultivators. Chen Yi had prepared a lot of spirit stones this time,

Body Refining Foundation Building was also very important to Chen Yi, and he wanted to improve the quality of the foundation as much as possible.

Meanwhile, in the Martial World, after acquiring four ancient spiritual objects, Chen Yi also got a clue about the last gold attribute spiritual object,

It was the Bright Temple's temple treasure, a Vajra bracelet,

It's not about the bracelet itself, but because it contains a part of the ancient gold essence,

That gold essence was one of the Gold Attribute's spiritual objects,

However, the bracelet had been passed down for many years. Most of its spirituality had already disappeared,

And its presence in Bright Temple served a vital function, suppressing a Demon King level entity.

Of course, Demon Kings from the Martial World, due to many years without spiritual energy, are at most comparable to the Later Stage of Foundation Establishment in the Immortal Cultivation World,

And because it has been suppressed for many years, according to what Chen Yi heard from Monk Kong Jian, the Demon King's strength is comparable to the early stage of the Grandmaster,

Chen Yi estimated that it would only be equivalent to the early stage of a second-tier demon beast in this world.

For this, Chen Yi had some plans in mind.

Chen Yi needed the Vajra bracelet, so he had to deal with the Demon King before he could negotiate with Bright Temple.

This was one of his major plans for the imminent future.

In addition, his cultivation level was close to the sixth layer of Qi cultivation, and it was just a year or two away,

Among the five future immortal talents from his hometown, everyone chatted and reflected on their cultivation journey in a private room,
