Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 250 - 140: Welcome, Alchemist Chen

"Foundation Establishment Pill... lack of main material... willing to joint-refine... queuing..."

A series of sporadic words reached Chen Yi's ears,

He roughly guessed that the businessman named Tan Qing came to seek Liu Peng's father to refine Foundation Establishment Pills, only that his collection of pill materials was limited and lacked the main ingredient,

He was willing to joint-refine pills with others,

The joint-refinement implies that two or three persons jointly provide materials for the refinement of the Foundation Establishment Pill, with the priority in choosing the pill based on the value of the materials provided,

Because depending on the alchemist's ability and the complexity of each refining process, a single refinement might produce 1 to 3 Foundation Establishment Pills of different grade, thus this choosing priority becomes very important.

However, due to the fact that the main material for the Foundation Establishment Pill, over 300 years of Pure Spirit Immortal Fruit, or the superb bloodline talent of the second-tier Demon Beasts with Pure Spirit Core, is extremely rare,

They are usually monopolised by major powers, and ordinary Loose Cultivators hardly have a chance to obtain them,

So even if they joint-refine with others, it depends on their luck to meet someone who has the main material,

And often those who own the main material also have the first choice of the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Chen Yi originally had this plan. When he reached the Qi Refining Ninth Layer, he would take some Foundation Establishment Pill materials and jointly refine them with others. He was content with obtaining a substandard Foundation Establishment Pill as a cover for his Foundation Establishment.

As for the real Foundation Establishment Pill suitable for him, Chen Yi intended to refine it himself,

For now, he just needs to collect lots of auxiliary materials for pill refinement, including some extremely rare ones,

As for the main material, Chen Yi already had some ideas. He had an entire Martial World behind him. Although there might not be a 300 years old Pure Spirit Immortal Fruit,

There were not few demon beasts, and that was connected to a complete Demon Beast world,

Maybe right now, with the capability of the Martial World, he could not encounter Demon Beasts with superior bloodlines, but Chen Yi had already sown seeds there,

After ten or twenty years, circumstances would surely change.

...

Chen Yi returned to his daily Qi cultivation and body refining, tutored Little Emei, attended to patients, and collected various pill materials.

The level of Chen Yi's ability as revealed is that of a first-tier premium physician, and the patients he treated were merely Qi refining cultivators. Although Chen Yi could almost always cure them,

The income was always somewhat insipid,

Especially when it came to the collection of vital auxiliary materials needed to make Foundation Establishment Pills and second-tier body refining pills, he hardly had any.

These cultivators who fought and hunted Demon Beasts day and night outside were all thrifty and impoverished. They always wanted to get all their illnesses cured at the cheapest price,

Chen Yi's healing pills were indeed effective, sometimes a single pill could effectively treat chronic diseases,

Sometimes Chen Yi thought about weakening the effect of the healing slightly to earn more, being a profiteer, only to later think better of it, deciding it wasn't necessary,

The road of Immortal Cultivation not only had interests but also had consequences. Payback always comes one day when evil deeds are committed.

Chen Yi decided not to rush, there was plenty of time, and always opportunities.

...

Several days later, upon opening his consulting hours, Chen Yi welcomed a visitor, who was the chubby manager of the Wanfu Chamber of Commerce, Tan Qing.

Chen Yi greeted his guest with a smile, while internally alert,

He covertly employed the technique of concealing his energy from the Turtle Breathing Technique, hiding all his mana and Martial Arts' Daoist rhymes deep within his Nine Nether,

Revealing only mana of the Qi Refining Seventh Layer and an appropriate level of Body Refining Cultivation.

"Haha, I've heard for a long time about Doctor Chen's medical skills. Today, I'm here thick-skinned to seek treatment, I hope I'm not too imposing."

Tan Qing laughed heartily, like an old acquaintance, carrying a gift box and casually handing it to Chen Yi.

Chen Yi received it without betraying any emotion and placed it on the table.

After exchanging pleasantries, Chen Yi asked:

"Manager Tan, who's cultivation almost reaches the peak of the Qi Refining stage and in good health condition, doesn't seem to have any illness. What can I do for you?"

"Well, I won't hide this from Doctor Chen. Some years ago, I had an opportunity to establish my Foundation, but I failed in the attempt,

Even though I managed to save my life, my body was damaged and my cultivation dropped to the Qi Refining Eighth Layer. I've just recouped recently.

If there is any chance of breaking through the Foundation Establishment again in my life and extending my lifespan by a hundred years, wouldn't it be joyful,

So I want to ask Doctor Chen to check on my Dantian and meridians, and whether there is any special prescription to restore them?"

Manager Tan sat there, revealing his situation with a bitter smile.

Turns out that this is the reason. No wonder he was able to develop divine sense at the Qi Refining stage. He had tried to establish his Foundation once before, and although he failed at the last step and his cultivation fell due to the injury, his divine sense was indeed a success,

This man should not be underestimated.

"Manager Tan, if you don't mind, I'll need to take your pulse and thoroughly examine your meridians and Dantian to establish a treatment plan."

After weighing his options, Chen Yi nonetheless presented this request. Usually, he would need to check the patient's body while diagnosing,

But the body of a cultivator often contained many secrets, and not all were willing to be examined.

As expected, upon hearing this, there was a hint of hesitation on Tan Qing's face. After a moment, he heaved a sigh,

"Well then, since it's Doctor Chen's rule, I'll oblige. There's nothing I can hide from a doctor on this old body,

But I do hope Doctor Chen can keep it confidential for me afterward."

"Rest assured, keeping patient's information confidential is a basic rule for a physician."

Subsequently, Tan Qing put his short and round hand on the table and closed his eyes, concealing a hint of an unusual look in his eyes.
