Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World - Chapter 351 - 173: Changes in Situation_2

Chen Yi shook his head.

Wang Tengfei felt it was a pity. Wait, is there any danger in going to the Secret Realm?

“Brother Chen, are you reluctant to enter the Secret Realm because you feel there is a risk to your life?”

Wang Tengfei suddenly became cautious. Since Senior Sword Spirit placed such importance on Chen Yi, claiming that Chen Yi was indeed destined for greatness,

It wouldn’t hurt to heed Chen Yi’s opinion on things.

But Chen Yi shook his head:

“I do not know if there will be a lethal crisis inside, but I’m sure there will be danger. The main reason is that nothing inside really appeals to me,

And it’s not worth the risk just for some stalactite milk.”

“Oh…”

With Chen Yi’s explanation, Wang Tengfei understood.

Currently, all Chen Yi needed was stalactite milk; he didn’t need anything else, so he wasn’t willing to take the risk.

Th𝘪𝘴 ƈh𝘢p𝑡𝕖r 𝒾𝐬 p𝘰𝘴𝗍𝑒𝘥 bყ 𝗞𝕀𝖙ᥱп𝑜𝖛𝗲𝐥

Next, Wang Tengfei felt a twinge of jealousy,

Even with the Senior Sword Spirit, he still had to run around and work hard, seeking opportunities to practice cultivation for his Core Formation. But what fortune had Chen Yi found that simply meditating and cultivating at home allowed him to enhance his cultivation level?

How could that be a characteristic of someone with a subpar Four Spirit Root talent?

About this, Wang Tengfei and Song Chengcheng had asked Chen Yi.

Chen Yi’s explanation was that the Turtle Breathing Technique he practiced wasn’t good for combat; it mainly focused on steady and slow progression. The most important aspect was maintaining a mental state,

And Chen Yi enjoyed this peaceful state, which was in line with the essence of the Turtle Breathing Technique. So, despite his slow progress, breaking through the bottleneck wasn’t as difficult.

Everyone was skeptical about this, but no one could really verify it.

After all, in the Immortal Cultivation World, fortunes were scarce and every cultivator’s life was short. No one would waste time verifying the effectiveness of the Turtle Breathing Technique.

Everyone was competing,

Hence, every time a Secret Realm appeared, despite knowing the mortality rate might be high, cultivators flocked to it eagerly.

“By the way, Brother Chen. There’s something I need to tell you.

About a year ago, the Alliance Law Enforcement Team of the Ten Thousand Islands Alliance joined forces with several major families and sects in the Immortal Cultivation World to blockade the stronghold of the evil cultivator, Jiang Hao, in the Demon Territory.

That day, the Pseudo-core Elder of the Law Enforcement Team, Wang Tianyi, the True Core Elder of Tianning Palace, Sun Haiqing, and the True Person Dingtian of the Yang Family, teamed up to surround and kill Jiang Hao.

But unexpectedly, Jiang Hao’s Body Refining Strength had already broken through to the Core Formation Stage. He exerted his potential and used three moves of the Ancient Fist Skill,

He repelled the encirclement of the three True Cores, and then escaped with serious injuries.

Jiang Hao’s disciples also followed him into the depths of the Demon Territory, and their whereabouts are currently unknown.”

Jiang Hao’s Body Refining has reached the Nascent Soul Stage? That was fast!

Just 60 years ago on the Ordinary 32 Islands, Jiang Hao wasn’t even a match for Chen Yi. Now his cultivation level had increased so rapidly!

And he really cultivated the Ancient Inheritance, and could actually, by his own power alone, fend off the encirclement of three Core Formation cultivators?

Even though physical cultivators were known for their toughness, escaping from the encirclement of three cultivators of the same rank revealed considerable strength.

Chen Yi suspected that the Pseudo-core Elder of the Law Enforcement Team couldn’t have put in much effort, and the Yang Family’s True Core also might not have used much strength, there was not much enmity between them,

Only the True Core Elder from Tianning Palace might genuinely want to kill Jiang Hao,

After all, it was rumored that one of the female disciples from their Tianning Palace was raped and killed by Jiang Hao.

Even so, Jiang Hao’s strength should not be underestimated.

Chen Yi kept this matter in mind. He gave Wang Tengfei the same pills and Talisman Scrolls as Zhao Chengyu, not charging any spirit stones. Instead, he told him to compensate with the equivalent value of stalactite milk when he returned from the Secret Realm; he could make up the difference later.

…..

Not long after Wang Tengfei left,

Two guests arrived at Xiao Qiu peak.

“Daoist Wu, this way, please. The master of Second Tier puppets, Ma Xiaoqiu, is my little sister. With me, Ma, here, you’ll surely be able to acquire a top-quality Second Tier puppet, hehe.”

Ma Huantian, with his unruly beard and greasy clothes, flew sideways, introducing the situation of the scattered cultivator peaks while kindly leading the way.

Behind him was a tall, white-haired man with a centipede-like scar on his face, this was Wu Cong from the Wu Family.

Ma Xiaoqiu’s Xiao Qiu peak also had Qi Cultivation stage servant girls attending to it.

Upon seeing Ma Huantian sticking around like a patch, she felt cold, but before the servant girl said anything,

Ma Huantian spoke sternly,

“Little Red, aren’t you going to announce it? Today, I’ve brought a distinguished guest to Xiao Qiu for a big business deal in buying a Second Tier puppet.

You can’t handle it!”

Servant girl Little Red, seeing two Foundation Establishment visitors, felt unsure. It seemed like there were indeed guests, she couldn’t be willful, so she saluted Wu Cong:

“Senior, may I know who you are? Are you coming to Xiao Qiu peak for some important matters?”

“I am Wu Cong, who moved to nearby Danxia Island a few years ago, and I was fortunate to hear about Fairy Ma’s reputation as a master puppeteer. I wanted to come to Fairy Ma to buy two second-tier puppets.”

Danxia Island? Wasn’t that the place where the Ma Family used to be stationed…

According to the master, the original Danxia Island was mortgaged with high-interest spirit stones by Ma Huantian after the decline of the Ma Family, using the second tier spirit veins on the island as collateral.

Has Danxia Island now fallen into the hands of this Foundation Establishment elder standing before me…

“Elder Wu, please wait while I announce your arrival.”

Not long after, the spiritual mist of the array method cleared, revealing a woman in a white dress. She frowned when she saw Ma Huantian:

“Ma Huantian, aren’t you afraid of being beaten? Dare to come here again?!”

Hearing these words, Wu Cong felt apprehensive. This Ma Huantian seemed unreliable.

Ma Huantian quickly put on a pleasing smile:

“Xiao Qiu, let’s talk privately about our family matters. I have come to you on a serious matter this time. This Daoist Wu has recently moved his family to Danxia Island and wants to buy two second-tier puppets from you.”

Danxia Island?

How could Ma Xiaoqiu forget that place? It was the place where she was adopted and raised, the former station of the Ma Family that nurtured Ma Xiaoqiu, but also the place she regards with sorrow.

Sigh.

“May I know what kind of puppet Daoist Wu wishes to buy? Please proceed to Xiao Qiu peak.”

Ma Xiaoqiu invited Wu Cong to enter the array. Seeing this, Ma Huantian quickly followed with a smirk on his face.

Next door at Little Cold Peak, Chen Yi had just finished a day’s body refining and talisman drawing when he sensed what was happening outside,

“E Mei, what is happening outside?”

“Brother Chen, Ma Huantian is bothering Fairy Ma again, this time he brought someone, said that he is introducing business to Fairy Ma.

Fairy Ma let them in.”

“Oh, keep an eye on this, don’t let Xiao Qiu get taken advantage of if a fight breaks out.”

“Hmph, Brother Chen you always worry about Fairy Ma, you never care about me.”

Chen Yi thought to himself, how long have you been in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, thinking you can deceive me?

If a fight really happened, with the mana power of your Chilling Essence Treasure Body, a regular late stage Foundation Establishment cultivator would not be able to withstand you.

However, Chen Yi didn’t expose her,

If E Mei wanted to hide her cultivation level and serve Chen Yi, he would let her be,

After all, it’s safer for her to stay by Chen Yi’s side than running around outside.

….

“Hehe, Daoist Wu, how do you find this second-tier mid-grade puppet? I told you, I guarantee that I would provide you with the best channel, I didn’t deceive you, did I?”

Not long after, the two flew out from Xiao Qiu peak. Ma Huantian rubbed his hands together, grinning eagerly.

“The puppet is indeed good, as for whether I was deceived, you should be clear in your heart.”

Wu Cong was discontented. From Fairy Ma’s attitude towards Ma Huantian, it was clear he was not as he claimed – the adoptive brother of Fairy Ma and her former cultivation partner.

Wu Cong casually threw him 30 spirit stones,

Receiving the spirit stones, Ma Huantian was unhappy, they had initially agreed on 100 spirit stones.

However, he dared not say anything, as he was in the wrong,

After some thought, Ma Huantian continued:

“Daoist Wu, there is a second-tier alchemist next door, who I happen to be acquainted with. Are you interested?”

“A second-tier alchemist?”

Wu Cong squinted his eyes.

He had gathered some intelligence before coming. He was somewhat familiar with this turtle doctor,

A septuagenarian Foundation Establishment cultivator who emerged from Zhao Family Island years ago, possessing superb medical skills, and recently selling special second-tier pills that were said to be very effective.

That was not the most crucial point,

The key was that whenever he appeared a few years ago when the Tan Family and Wu Family ganged up on the Zhao Family, it seemed that the Tan Family had suffered a great misfortune…

Although the Wu Family and Zhao Family had reconciled now, if he thought deeply about certain matters,

Wu Cong would feel a chill run down his spine,

Could it be just a coincidence?

After some thought, it didn’t matter who the other party was, it wouldn’t hurt to meet and talk,

In the world of Immortal Cultivation, enmities and grudges were normal. For the sake of benefits, all explanations were accepted.

So he nodded:

“Please lead the way, Daoist Ma.”
