Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World - Chapter 237 - 136: Stability_4

“Daoist Liu, please rest assured, Chen Yi will not compete with you for business.”

Hearing this, Liu Peng’s expression brightened considerably.

“Good, as fellow alchemists, we can exchange ideas in the future.”

Liu Peng and Chen Yi casually chatted for a while, learning some superficial information about each other.

Seeing Liu Peng pick up his teacup, Chen Yi took the opportunity to excuse himself.

“Hmm, he just met me and already gifted two nice fish, I’ve heard that this demon carp is very delicious. This Pharmacist Chen certainly knows how to interact with people.”

After Chen Yi left, Liu Peng checked the two demon carp, then handed them to the cook to make an extra meal. His face was filled with anticipation.

Chen Yi paused slightly at the door,

Then, bearing a Beauty Pill, he headed to Shen’s Robe Shop next door.

The owner, Shen Fang, was quite pretty, with a slim and flat figure. She was wearing a plain skirt with no underwear, and without any mana to conceal herself, she was unabashedly looking up and down at Chen Yi while sitting cross-legged.

After discovering that Chen Yi was merely at the Qi Refining Seventh Layer, there was a flash of contempt in her eyes.

Chen Yi did not look out of line, he simply stated his purpose and left without drinking the Ordinary Tea the maids had prepared. It contained no spiritual energy.

“Hmph, pretending to be gentlemanly by not looking at me, but isn’t he subtly sending over Beauty Pills, trying to win my favor?

All male cultivators are scum,

Doesn’t even consider his own cultivation level. Is he qualified to give me pills?

Liu Emei, take this pill instead.”

As soon as Chen Yi stepped out the door, Shen Fang started commenting in the guest room to the girl tidying up the teacups. She then casually tossed the pill to the girl.

The girl, who was about sixteen or seventeen years old, seemed thoughtful,

So this is Uncle Chen. He doesn’t look much different from the way my parents described him from ten years ago,

He didn’t disrespect our lady boss by staring at her. She shouldn’t speak of him like that.

A few days ago, we received a letter from home saying that Uncle Chen had opened a clinic on this street and asked me to visit him when I have time.

Chen Yi, who had paused briefly at the door, continued on his way home,

Because of his Divine Sense, Chen Yi was aware of everything that happened inside,

But he wouldn’t go back to quarrel with his female neighbor over petty matters. It’s basic etiquette to meet neighbors when opening a new shop.

Still, he was a bit wary of Shen Fang,

Because, while she appeared to be at the Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer, Chen Yi’s Divine Sense revealed that she was actually at the Qi Cultivating Eighth Layer,

Moreover, using the Turtle Breath Magical Power, he found a hint of pink color hidden deep within her spiritual light.

“Is she practicing the Charm Skill?”

“Interesting, the shop owner of the Fabric Workshop, who claims not to need men, turns out to be primarily practicing the Charm Skill…”

Chen Yi thought to himself, you can’t judge a book by its cover,

Even the third-class information he bought from the Blood Shadow Gate only reveals Shen Fang to be a middleman for the Fabric Workshop,

If he didn’t have the Turtle Breath Skill, how would he know the true nature of this woman?

According to Chen Yi’s knowledge, those who practice the Charm Skill can increase their power through dual cultivation, like the Hehuan Sect,

On the other hand, she could also please big shots by favoring male cultivators, like the true fighting female cultivators in the Silk Pleasure Workshop, all of whom have skills to wait on people.

No matter which one, this woman is not simple.

Also, the sixteen-year-old shop girl who was looking at me with a complex expression, could she, possibly, recognize me?

Could it be that she is the girl from the Pillar family?

Sigh, hopefully, she has not been affected by the practices of the Fabric Workshop. Disliking or pleasing male cultivators, neither is desirable.

After returning home, Chen Yi decided that he needed to interact more with Liu Peng in the future. Whether he was planning to secretly learn the method of refining Foundation Establishment Pills or other knowledge about pills,

Chen Yi would need to get in touch with Liu Peng’s Second Tier Alchemist father,

Thı𝑠 𝖼hⱯpţℯr 𝗂𝑠 p𝟬ʂ𝖙𝑒ḍ bʏ 𝘒𝙞ṯ𝖾𝖓𝖔𝙫𝗲𝐥

But he’s not in a hurry. Liu Peng may seem to have many shortcomings, but as long as you know his likes, he’s actually quite easy to get along with,

On the other hand, it’s extremely difficult to get along with Shen Fang next door. She not only doesn’t hesitate to exploit others, she’s two-faced,

And there’s a high chance she’s promiscuous,

Chen Yi decided that even if he needed to buy a robe in the future, he’d go to another district to choose.

As for the other neighbors on the street, Chen Yi did not visit them one by one,

When he opens for business, there will naturally be opportunities to interact,

Given time, you’ll see a person’s true character. Chen Yi plans to stay here for quite some time and is confident that he can build a good reputation.
