Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World - Chapter 328 - 164: The Interview Opportunity

In the days that followed, Chen Yi returned to his daily routine of alchemy and cultivation.

However, because he was living in a first-tier spiritual vein cave mansion, the progress of his Turtle Breathing Technique was slow. But given the nature of the technique, Chen Yi wasn’t in a rush.

When he did have some free time, he made noticeable progress in his body refining cultivation, especially with the spirit medicinal materials provided by Ye Huanhuan. After supplementing his body refining pill, his marrow refining process sped up significantly.

Moreover, within two or three months, he was able to store his vitality and blood power from the Wave Stacking Strength in his spine once again, filling it up.

Now, Chen Yi’s storage capacity allowed him to layer 28 times the force, an improvement from the 23 times when he visited Zhao Family Island.

Chen Yi calculated that at this rate, perhaps within ten years, he would be able to store up to 100 times the force. At that point, he would have the power to confront a Pseudo-core True Person.

Over the next two years, Chen Yi frequently stayed in the Martial World,

Mainly because his mother’s time was drawing near.

Chen Yi and Chen Ran stayed by her side, making sure her final years were peaceful and free of sickness or disaster.

One and a half years after returning to Wangyue City, his mother passed away peacefully in her sleep.

Chen Yi and Chen Ran held a simple funeral for her. They were neither extravagant nor did they invite many guests. All that mattered was that they fulfilled their filial duties.

A month later, Chen Yi asked Chen Ran about her plans for the future,

Chen Ran replied, “Brother, I want to explore the Demon Beast world. I know you’re cautious, and I’ve always relied on you,

Th𝚒𝐬 𝒸h𝙖p𝐭𝑒r 𝒾𝐬 p0𝑠ṯ𝙚𝐝 b𝗒 Ḱ𝑖ƚ𝙚η𝑜ⱴє𝘭

But our mother is no longer with us, and you have your own secrets. I’m not tied down anymore,

So allow me to pursue my dreams,

And see the splendid world out there.”

Chen Yi remained silent for a long while, then gave Chen Ran a dozen pills, dozens of talisman scrolls, and all the magical instruments that he didn’t need for the time being,

Telling her to be very careful and to use the items he’d given her if she encountered any danger,

If she had any difficulties, she should return home and activate the jade token left by Chen Yi. Then, he would be able to sense it and come to help her.

Chen Ran agreed and asked if there was anything Chen Yi needed.

He shook his head and did not mention his urgent need for stalactite milk, not wanting his younger sister to be put in danger due to his needs.

At this stage in the Martial World, the human cultivators were just trying to survive and secretly develop. They were in the stage of sparks before the flame, capable of defending themselves against invasions from the Demon Beast World,

Only a few outstanding human cultivators could venture deep into the Demon Beast’s territory for exploration and treasure hunting.

Chen Yi, who wasn’t invincible yet, had no plan to personally take risks. His focus for development in the future would still be the medical pills. He would exchange resources needed for his cultivation, and wait until his strength was much stronger before taking action.

Of course, if he came across a necessary treasure and the danger was manageable, he could accept going out once in a while,

All choices are nothing but a balance between risk and reward.

After his mother’s funeral, Chen Yi returned to the Immortal Cultivation World,

And began preparing for an upcoming auction.

At the auction, there was a batch of second-tier Earth flame spiritual fire that Chen Yi hoped to get. This fire would be beneficial for his pill refinement.

Additionally, if there was any second-tier or higher stalactite milk, Chen Yi intended to get as much as he could,

His current biggest resource was the fifth layer of Vajra Sutra, the progress of which was particularly important. If he could form a Golden Body at the same time of forming Pill Force,

Chen Yi’s physical body could withstand most physical attacks at the Core Formation Stage and reduce at least 70% of magic attacks,

And it would also significantly benefit his next step – the achievement of Golden Skin.

The Turtle Breathing Technique was for health, long life, and alchemy, while the Vajra Sutra was for protecting the way.

Chen Yi had a good plan combining these two.

Now that he had established the Foundation, Chen Yi’s lifespan was extended to 500. His main focus now could be placed on improving his body cultivation.

And Chen Yi made certain gains during the two years he stayed in the Martial World. He took out some first-tier pills he had made,

Exchanged them for a talisman heritage at the grandmaster trading conference of the Demon Suppression Alliance.

In these two years, Chen Yi had a lot of free time and studied that talisman heritage,

With his experience in combination of pill refinement, body refining and qi cultivation, and his own capability in talisman drawing at the peak of the first tier,

Chen Yi very quickly figured it out :

Talismans, pills, qi cultivation, body refining, even including array methods, artifact refining and so forth,

Are nothing more than special means of using the spiritual energy of the world.

After reaching a certain level of skill, these methods closely resemble some kind of rule, a rule that has always existed in the universe

Which represents the laws of the respective field.

Chen Yi wasn’t at the level of understanding the laws yet,

But after understanding this principle, his progress in drawing talismans soared.

Especially for the Protection Talisman and Escape Talisman that he highly valued,

Chen Yi was now capable of producing lower-grade second-tier versions,

And even occasionally a top-quality one when combined with his understanding of protection and escape.

Chen Yi was quite pleased with this. With these two tools at his disposal, his security was greatly enhanced once again.

Theoretically, his defense was now at the level of a middle-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, unbreakable,

And his escape speed, with a boost from Vajra Eight Steps and a top-quality Light Body Talisman, made him unparalleled below the Pseudo-core stage.
