Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World - Chapter 260 - 142: Mink Promotion_3

However, he didn’t know about such tricks in the alchemy world, so he didn’t worry too much.

Tan Qing also had no idea he had unknowingly taken the blame for Chen Yi, suffering an unexpected loss.

After returning home, he discussed with Shen Fang and decided not to take the Foundation Establishment Pill. Instead, they planned to auction it off and exchange it for materials needed to refine a new Foundation Establishment Pill, waiting for another chance to ask Liu Peng’s father to refine the pill.

All the while, Tan Qing had ignored Shen Fang’s longing expressions. She was nearing the peak of Qi Cultivation and desperately wanted the substandard Foundation Establishment Pill that Tan Qing had dismissed.

…

Back home, for the first time, Chen Yi gained a direct understanding of refining Foundation Establishment Pills.

With his current understanding of alchemy, he could certainly give it a go. It was just a matter of dealing with and melding various spirit medicines. While many of the ingredients were of the second tier, it was only somewhat more difficult.

Chen Yi was confident that he would be able to refine a usable Foundation Establishment Pill after three or five attempts.

However, Chen Yi’s goal was to refine a Foundation Establishment Pill suitable for his Turtle Breath Skill. Therefore, he had to carefully consider the principal ingredients and refining methods.

Optimally, he would be able to find a second-tier demon core from a turtle-type demon beast with a pure water-based bloodline to be the primary ingredient, which would fuse well with the power characteristic of his Turtle Breath Skill.

This, of course, was the ideal case.

He wondered how things were going in the Martial Arts World.

He would wait for further developments.

Chen Yi still needed to amass a large amount of materials for refining Foundation Establishment Pills before he could begin the refining process.

As for a second-tier pill furnace and second-tier Earthfire, Chen Yi could rent them within the city, meaning he could essentially go wherever he wanted to refine pills.

For now, he would proceed step by step, accumulating mana, improving his strength, and gathering spirit medicines before considering anything else.

…..

Two years later.

In the cave mansion of Huichun Hall,

Chen Yi slapped his palm down. A ray of light burst from the pill furnace, and a round, black pill fell into his hand.

Upon closer inspection, Chen Yi saw four lively pill lines!

“Finally, I am now at the peak of being a first-tier alchemist,” Chen Yi said, looking satisfied.

This first-tier top-grade Beast Pill was for Chen Yi’s practice. Now, having perfected the techniques of refining top-grade pills, he only needed to refine his skills a bit more.

Theoretically, he should be able to refine any first-tier top-grade pill with four pill lines.

This was the advantage of having Divine Sense.

Normally, one needed to be in the Foundation Establishment Period to become a first-tier top-grade alchemist.

Chen Yi had reached this level with a cultivation level of the eighth layer of Qi Cultivation, proving his exceptional talent as an alchemist.

At 50 years of age, he was at the eighth layer of Qi Cultivation, a first-tier top-grade alchemist, a fourth-tier physique cultivator, and a first-tier superior talisman master.

Although Chen Yi’s cultivation progress was slow, he steadily advanced, and his mana increasingly approached the peak of the first tier.

Chen Yi sensed that his Turtle Breath Skill, which naturally repelled the passage of time, was nearing a limit.

He estimated that his lifespan should now exceed 200 years, longer than a typical cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Period.

If he could break through this limit, his lifespan might approach that of a Golden Core cultivator.

Two months earlier, Chen Yi’s cultivation level naturally advanced to the eighth layer of Qi Cultivation. His physical strength and mana increased by 30%, bolstering his confidence in refining top-grade pills.

After the purple sand mink tried to use Chen Yi’s body-building pill to break through to the second tier but failed last year,

Chen Yi changed the top-grade pill he used to practice from that to the Beast Pill.

At this moment, the little sand marten in the yard, upon smelling the Beast Pill, started to salivate.

Seeing Chen Yi come out, it stood up, its small paws clutching its chest. It quickly ran to Chen Yi’s feet, grabbed his pants, squeaking pleadingly and looking at Chen Yi with hopeful eyes.

“Impatient thing! It’s not safe here.”

Chen Yi instructed Little Emei, who was at the sixth layer of Qi Cultivation, to watch over the place, carrying the Purple Sand Mink to the core area of the Inner City.

For the price of a spirit stone per day, he rented a second-tier cave mansion for a month.

After arranging the anti-surveillance array and activating the defensive array of the Cave Mansion, Chen Yi released the sand marten and took out a Beast Pill, a Blood Spirit Ginseng that was three hundred years old, and a few pieces of second-tier Demon Beast flesh which he had prepared it.

The Purple Sand Mink, standing on all fours, stared at the items in front of it. It knew this was the greatest opportunity in its life to become a second-tier Demon Beast.

Chen Yi sat outside on a cushion, ready to protect it.

The sand marten first swallowed the pieces of second-tier Demon Beast flesh to adjust its state to its best. Then it swallowed the three hundred year old Blood Spirit Ginseng.

The Demon Power within its body slowly began to rise. When it felt the time was right, it finally consumed the first-tier top-grade Beast Pill that Chen Yi had prepared for it.

Boom!

The Purple Sand Mink’s Demon Power suddenly began to surge, wildly ascending towards second-tier Demon Beast level!

The spiritual energy in the cave mansion also began to show signs of turbulence.

Although most of a Demon Beast’s power is concentrated in its physical body and bloodline and its requirement for spiritual energy is not high,

The upheaval caused by a breakthrough like this was still substantial.

However, since they were located at the heart of Wangyue City, there were many Foundation Establishment cultivators who could put off such an upheaval, so it was unlikely to draw too much attention.

Three days later.

Within the cave mansion, a powerful wave of Demon Power emerged.

Through the roaring of the Purple Sand Mink,

Chen Yi felt a pressure not weaker than that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator. If he only relied on his mana to resist, he would find it rather difficult to breathe.
