Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 230 - 135: Qinglong Looking at the Mountains

Song Chengcheng's face made a transition from resentment to mirth. For a moment, Chen Yi felt a gentle warmth of spring. The brilliance of Song Chengcheng's smile lit up the sky over Qinglong Island's main gate,

the gatekeepers and the coming and going guests alike were stunned by her radiance.

Liu Huo too, after his initial restraint, gradually became relaxed.

Though he had also entered the Qi Refining Seventh Layer, theoretically speaking, the Late Stage of Qi Cultivation would be his lifetime limit,

while Song Chengcheng, as a young cultivator having reached the Foundation Establishment from a significant sect, might even rise to the level of a Pseudo-coreTrue Person in the future.

Their paths were destined to diverge. Their current intersection was merely a result of their roots as emerging cultivators.

On the other hand, having seen Song Chengcheng, Zhao Chengyu experienced a myriad of resurgent emotions, an unwillingness to concede evident in his gaze.

As fellow cultivators, Zhao Chengyu possessed Dual Spirit Roots, a higher talent rank than Song Chengcheng,

it just so happened that Song Chengcheng chose to go to Qinglong Island, while Zhao Chengyu was unable to go there due to influences from Zhao Family. This resulted in him being a step slower during Foundation Establishment.

Staring at the vigorous Song Chengcheng now, he couldn't help but feel a bit sour.

However, given that Zhao Chengyu had a resolute Dao Heart, he firmly believed that he could successfully reach Foundation Establishment. The current distance between him and Song Chengcheng was merely temporary.

All three bestowed their gifts successively, which Song Chengcheng gladly accepted with a smile.

She then pulled out her Flying Boat, leading the three of them towards her Cave Mansion, where the Foundation Establishment banquet would be held.

On the way, Song Chengcheng glanced at Chen Yi, offering her congratulations:

"Daoist Chen, I didn't expect that you would also reach the Late Stage of Qi Cultivation. It seems that my preparation of a Second Tier Spirit Pool One Month Cultivation Qualification Card for you, won't be of much use anymore."

Previously through a letter, Song Chengcheng came to know that Liu Huo had purchased Breaking Tier Pill and broke through to Qi Refining Seventh Layer, but Chen Yi, due to his slow cultivation progress, hadn't heard any news about his breakthrough,

Unexpectedly upon meeting, Chen Yi was also a cultivator at the Qi Refining Seventh Layer.

"Chen Yi, being an alchemist, indeed has some convenience regarding the medication for cultivation."

Chen Yi refrained from providing further details, but his explanation gave the impression that his upgrading was solely due to having consumed medication, which, given his Four Spirit Root Talent and practice of the Turtle Breathing Technique, seemed a more plausible explanation.

"Well then, the kindness I owed you for the three Gold Body Pills you presented me beforehand, I'll continue to owe it. In the future, whenever you have any requirements, feel free to inform."

Next, she turned towards Zhao Chengyu: "Daoist Zhao, your spiritual light is full, you have already reached the peak of Qi Refining. Frankly speaking, the Foundation Establishment Pill you pleaded for, unfortunately, I'm of no help.

The rules of our sect are quite strict. Strategic pills like Foundation Establishment Pill can only be exchanged by sect disciples themselves based on their Contribution Points, and could only be consumed under the supervision of elders of the sect. Hence, I can't assist you there.

Daoist Zhao, if there's anything else you require, I may be able to provide some help."

Zhao Chengyu shook his head, "Temporarily, it's not required, I already have a plan."

Continuing, Song Chengcheng added: "Two days ago, Daoist Wang Tengfei sent me a letter. He's currently performing a very important task in the Secret Realm, and was unable to attend, he already explained about it. I wonder how he's doing now,

he hasn't sought any help from me, but if you guys come across any issues concerning them, make sure to inform me, don't hold back."

In the past when Song Chengcheng was crafting the Ice-cold Flying Sword, Wang Tengfei was a great benefactor. Song Chengcheng had already repaid him for the spirit stones, but she still remembered his kindness.

Having achieved Foundation Establishment now, and the fact that she still remembers and wishes to pay back the favors,

proves that she's a decent person worth making acquaintances with.

Secretly agreeing in his heart, Chen Yi approved. They had known each other for more than twenty years, so they had a good measure of each other's characters.

Being like this under conditions wherein the differences in their levels and status are blatantly evident,

shows that Chen Yi's initial investments weren't made in vain,

and that he now had the backing of an influential figure from Qinglong Island in the Immortal Cultivation World,

and she was a child genius who had reached Foundation Establishment even before surpassing forty.

...

Song Chengcheng led the three to an area midway up the mountain, where her Cave Mansion was located.

"This spiritual energy, is so pure!"

Barely entering Song Chengcheng's Cave Mansion's Great Array, Liu Huo was astonished by the spiritual energy radiated from the Second Tier spiritual vein.

Having been in the Zhao Family for more than 20 years, he had never visited the exclusive Dual Spirit Vein area, reserved only for the Zhao Family Head.

The exterior of Song Chengcheng's Cave Mansion was a massive landscape of gardens spread across several acres, with various structures scattered in between,

each probably serving a different function.

The trio dared not to roam around and followed Song Chengcheng to the banquet venue gingerly.

The Foundation Establishment banquet of a major sect was not as flashy and neither as prolonged as the grand banquets lasting for days and nights in Immortal Cultivation families.

It was merely a small gathering of around ten good friends for a meal, during which they would casually exchange cultivation insights or make some exchange of resources for cultivation.

However, when Chen Yi and the others entered the hall,

it was rather conspicuous.

Because among the about twenty cultivators present at the banquet, except a few maidens, none of them were in the Qi Refining phase.

Every guest they laid eyes on; all were extravagantly dressed, exerting Foundation Establishment aura and looking at the trio with an odd expression,

this made the trio's entry rather uncomfortable.

Liu Huo turned pale, he had only seen Zhao Family's Head Zhao Chongjian from afar during his stay in Zhao Family, always with extreme caution. Now under the gaze of over a dozen cultivators on the level of Foundation Establishment, he almost started trembling.

Zhao Chengyu seemed a little more composed, but he was also under immense pressure, furthermore, he regretted not being more adamant back then when he was a fledgling cultivator, if he had continued, would he have been able to convince his family to let him cultivate at Qinglong Island instead?

As for Chen Yi, who had not only reached Body Refining Foundation Building but had also started to manifest Divine Sense, he didn't feel much about it, but he feigned scared, just to fit in.
