Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 261 - 142: Sand Mink Promotion_4

Squeak!

The Purple Sand Mink has grown half a foot longer, and the purple stripes on its back were a full inch wider!

From its deep glowing fur, a considerable amount of black muddy substance overflowed, giving off a rank smell.

Each time a Demon Beast breaks through a tier, there is an uptick in bloodline and ancestral attributes, resulting in an overall significant increase in strength.

The Purple Sand Mink opened its eyes and joyfully looked at the sharp claw it now possessed, feeling the fierce and potent demonic power now within.

Its gaze towards Chen Yi was filled with boundless gratitude.

It was about to make a big jump, darting towards Chen Yi, intending to coil around his neck.

However, it was met with Chen Yi's Water Dragon Skill head-on.

"Clean yourself up first!"

Against the flow of the water dragon, the little sand marten had a good bath,

Then, ignoring Chen Yi's disgusted look, it shook its fur so fast that it became a blur. It slipped onto Chen Yi's neck and snuggled up tightly, constantly rubbing its small face against Chen Yi's chin.

Chen Yi continued to cultivate in this Cave Mansion with the little sand marten for a month, not only helping it stabilize its realm,

Chen Yi himself also benefited immensely from the cultivation.

A month later, Chen Yi and the little sand marten practiced against each other inside the Cave Mansion.

With his strength, having broken through the Physical Body Foundation Establishment years ago, he could only manage a draw against the little sand marten,

and he was even at a disadvantage when it came to speed!

In addition, the sand marten had the innate ability to burrow, making it much better than Chen Yi at surprise attacks.

After a comparison, if in a real life or death battle,

Chen Yi would have to use his Golden Body ability just to barely subdue it.

However, with this little creature in tow, it could substitute Chen Yi for some dangerous close combat activities,

and Chen Yi's Golden Body would remain unused unless absolutely necessary.

Now, as its second trump card following Chen Yi's Physical Body Foundation Establishment, the little creature has become a second-tier Demonic Beast.

With this, he would dare to act a bit more boldly in collecting Spirit Medicine in Wangyue City.

His next step was to increase his alchemy level to the Second Tier as the Vitality and Blood Pills he needs for body refining and the Beast Pills needed for the sand marten's daily cultivation both require a Second Tier skill level to be of any use.

Since the Purple Sand Mink did not know how to hide its presence, Chen Yi put it into the Spirit Beast Bag when they left their rented Cave Mansion.

After returning to Huichun Hall, the little sand marten was ordered by Chen Yi to move only underground,

he did not intend to reveal that his Spirit Beast had broken through to the second tier just yet.

Once he was back on track,

Chen Yi altered his medicine prescription list for treatments,

he reduced the proportion of the common First Tier Spirit Medicine, and several Second Tier ones began to appear on Chen Yi's exchange list.

Specifically about the Spirit Medicine for refining Foundation Establishment Pills, Chen Yi had collected more than five instances of such medicine, which had already been removed,

leaving behind only a small amount, or Spirit Medicine that were of high grade and thus he didn't dare to list before.

Three months later,

Fat merchant Tan Qing came to see Chen Yi for a follow-up consultation,

After Chen Yi examined Tan Qing, he found that the recovery was indeed much better than expected,

Chen Yi then prescribed some medication for Tan Qing,

While Tan Qing was viewing Chen Yi's updated list of Spirit Medicine as consultation fees, his smile widened and his eyes gleamed with a sharp light.

With serious matters dealt with,

Tan Qing chatted idly with Chen Yi:

"Doctor Chen, I saw you at Alchemist Liu's residence for the pill refining that day. Do you also need the Foundation Establishment Pill?"

Chen Yi is only at the eighth layer of Qi Cultivation at present, and it wouldn't be too early for him to consider the Foundation Establishment Pill,

The fat man surmised from seeing Chen Yi's Spirit Medicine list after a few years that Chen Yi might be exploring the possibility, so he was testing Chen Yi.

Chen Yi laughed it off:

"I have a female friend who has been stranded at the peak of Qi Cultivation for many years, with no chance to break through to Foundation Establishment. So I am also keeping an eye on it here. If I get a chance, it would be nice to surprise her."

Chen Yi's statement was true, the friend he was referring to was Zhao Chengjing.

As expected, Tan Qing displayed an ambiguous smile that only another man could understand:

"Hahaha, Doctor Chen is indeed a man of feelings!"

"By the way,"

Tan Qing changed the subject, his expression getting more serious,

"I have a new method for refining Foundation Establishment Pills. Are you interested, Doctor Chen?"

"Oh? If there's a chance, Chen Yi is willing to have a look."

Chen Yi's eyes flickered, and he agreed verbally.

"In that case, three days from now, I'll ask Shen Fang to prepare some food and drink. You're welcome to come over and we can discuss it in depth!"

"Three days? Okay."

After pondering for a moment, Chen Yi nodded in agreement.

"By the way, Manager Tan and Manager Shen, you guys?"

Chen Yi changed the topic to cover his thoughts, asked jokingly.

"Heh heh, Doctor Chen, we're all men here, you know what I mean! Let me tell you, Manager Shen is not your average cultivator, she's a treasure…"

"Heh, heh. Brother Chen, in three days, I will come to pick you up, then you can try and experience what is called a man's paradise!"
