Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World - Chapter 353 - 174 Wu Cong_2

While saying all this, Wu Cong was also properly observing Chen Yi’s expression,

Especially when the death of the three Foundation Establishment levels of the Tan family was mentioned, he observed Chen Yi’s face, trying to confirm his suspicions.

Upon his arrival on the Small Cold Peak, Wu Cong once caught a glimpse of a fleeting purple figure,

He suspected what he saw was a Purple Sand Mink.

He remembered that when he sent Old Qiu to Zhao Family Island, he loaned a Purple Sand Mink to assist him.

Later, Old Qiu disappeared while chasing Chen Yi,

At first, Wu Cong thought Old Qiu had found some good fortune and was laying low,

But after he found that Chen Yi and Zhao Chengjing were safe and sound, he judged that Old Qiu had met with a disaster.

Seeing the Purple Sand Mink again now, it is very likely that the one who killed Old Qiu was Chen Yi.

Remember, Chen Yi was only at the Fourth Layer of Qi Refining then, whereas Old Qiu was a cultivator at the Qi Refining Seventh Layer, with a considerable gap between their cultivation levels.

Could it have really countered the killing?

Looking back, on the death of the three Foundation Establishments of the Tan Family, first was the Second Young Master Tan Fei, who died when Chen Yi returned to Zhao Family Island. Although it was said at the time that Chen Yi never left the island, and the rumor had it that it was Jiang Hao who killed Tan Fei,

But what’s seen isn’t necessarily the truth, what if?

Later, Tan Dehang and Tan Xingzheng came to ambush Chen Yi near to Small Cold Mountain while following Zhao Chengjing,

Later, both also mysteriously disappeared and died, without even finding the killer,

Taken independently, none of these incidents seem significant,

But strung together,

Wu Cong suddenly had a shiver of dread.

He didn’t even dare to think too deeply, because at the time of Tan Fei’s death, many in the Tan family witnessed it – it was indeed Jiang Hao who killed him with the Ancient Fist Skill,

If that person was Chen Yi in disguise, it would be frightening indeed.

And even more terrifying was if that person indeed was Jiang Hao, and Jiang Hao killed him solely because of Chen Yi’s instruction…

Shaking his head, Wu Cong quickly cleared his mind of unrealistic ideas,

For some reason, his tea-drinking posture became more humble,

“Doctor Chen, Wu Gou acted out of necessity from the standpoint of the Wu Family back then, there was absolutely no hostility towards you personally. I hope Doctor Chen doesn’t take it to heart.

These spirit medicines, consider it a small compensation from me.”

Oh?

Chen Yi took over the bag of spirit stones, and found that there were actually ten spirit medicines over 300 years old, totaling over 1500 spirit stones!

“Where is Daoist Wu, Chen Yi has long forgotten about past events, haha!”

Chen Yi accepted the Storage Bag while laughing, his tone becoming much friendlier.

Wu Cong muttered inwardly:

At first, you claimed to be scared, but now, after taking the spirit medicines, you say you’ve forgotten about it…

“Past affairs involved the Wu family and the Zhao family, now I, Chen Yi, have been away from the Zhao family for years, and there is no great enmity between Daoist Wu and myself.”

Have Daoist Wu learned about it? Over these many years, I, Chen Yi, has been kind to everyone, and have I ever fought with anyone?”

“Yes, yes. Doctor Chen is truly a model of kindness. I, Wu Cong, admire that.”

If it weren’t for the fact that I am familiar with the scent of the Purple Sand Mink, and have almost guessed some things, I would have really been fooled by you.

The Tan Family never really meant to kill you. At most, the Second Young Master of the Tan Family tried to deceive you on Spirit Fish Island and tried to hurt you a few times,

And the Tan Family Head and Tan Family Elder, which one of them really tried to kill you?

Now, they are all dead and cold…

I see, you’re not kind to everyone, but anyone who dares to provoke you suffers a fate worse than death!

Wu Cong grumbled in his heart. Although he had no evidence for these things, something can be proved by intuition, without the need for evidence,

Besides, if evidence is needed…

He had heard about something, and in a few years, he would be able to see the outcome of the alchemist, Liu Yonggang of Wangyue City, and Yang Dan, the young lady of Yang Family, which would prove a point or two.

After chatting casually for a while, Wu Cong proposed that the Wu Family had some demand for first-tier superior pills, and wondered whether Chen Yi could help refine some here,

But Chen Yi shook his head,

“I’m sorry, for the recent years, I have stopped refining first-tier pills, but if it’s the lower second-tier pill, I can sell you some.”

After hearing the price, Wu Cong shook his head:

“Maybe we should drop the idea for now. The Wu Family currently only has me in the Foundation Establishment Period, so we don’t have a high demand for ordinary second-tier lower-grade pills.

Would Doctor Chen be able to concoct Foundation Establishment Pills?”

Wu Cong asked tentatively.

Th𝙞ṡ 𝙘hаp𝐭ℯr 𝕀𝙨 p0ṡ𝐭ℯḍ b𝗒 Ҡɪṯ𝗲ṉՕ𝘷ɛ𝗹

Chen Yi gave a bitter smile and shook his head: “How is that possible? Foundation Establishment Pills, I am indeed learning and trying to concoct them, but I’ve not been successful so far.

If Daoist Wu isn’t afraid of failure, you can bring the materials, and I’ll help you refine them, but there is a high risk of losing everything without any return.”

“Hehe, no hurry, we could discuss it in a few years.”

Wu Cong was cursing in his mind. Ten years ago, Chen Yi went to Zhao Family Island, then Zhao Chengjing established her foundation,

A few years ago, Zhao Chengyu took Liu Changsheng to establish their foundation in Wangyue City, but before that, they had visited Chen Yi here,

If these two pieces of information were not enough, there were also rumors that more than ten years ago, at an auction in Wangyue City, one of the several Foundation Establishment Pills sold was provided by Chen Yi.

All these signs indicate that Chen Yi has long been able to refine Foundation Establishment Pills but,

However, Wu Cong also understands that given his current relationship with Chen Yi, it would be good enough if Chen Yi isn’t hostile towards him. If he wants Chen Yi to sell Foundation Establishment Pills to the Wu family,

There is still a long way to go.

No matter what, he decided to maintain a good relationship with Chen Yi,

Chen Yi may not sell Foundation Establishment Pills to him now, but who knows what the future holds.

“The Wu family doesn’t need second-tier pills for now. If we do need them, we will surely buy them from Doctor Chen at a high price.”

“All right.” Chen Yi smiled.

The two chatted about some resource exchange matters,

Wu Cong took the initiative to inform Chen Yi that he had bought two second-tier middle-grade puppets from Ma Xiaoqiu next door for the upcoming opening of the Secret Realm. He asked if Chen Yi had any needs?

Chen Yi praised the functions of Ma Xiaoqiu’s puppets and said if it was convenient, he would like to buy some stalactite milk, or some second-tier Demon Beast beast skin, or Spiritual Wood Bark.

Wu Cong pounded his chest and promised that he would keep a lookout,

He also said that Demon Beast skin was the main product of the Wu family, and he could provide them regularly to Chen Yi in the future,

Chen Yi thought for a while and agreed.

He uses the Demon Beast skin or Spiritual Wood Bark to make talismans, his talisman-making skills have reached the second tier now. At this stage, ordinary talisman-making materials are not easy to buy,

In the Yang Family Chamber of Commerce in Wangyue City, Chen Yi could purchase them by virtue of being a senior customer but it was not worth the risk to go all the way just for some talisman-making materials,

If Wu Cong is willing to regularly provide him with low-cost and good quality Demon Beast skin, Chen Yi doesn’t mind giving him a chance to get closer to him.

Animosities are one thing, and trade is another,

Wu Cong paid off Chen Yi’s disgust with more than a thousand spirit stones of medicinal materials. If he wants to win Chen Yi’s favor, it will take a long time to perform well.

By the end of the conversation, Wu Cong had unconsciously revealed a lot of information. He felt that he had become quite familiar with Chen Yi, so he tentatively asked,

“Doctor Chen, the Daoist friend, Ma Huantian, who brought me here, claims to be your brother. In addition, he is also Fairy Ma’s adopted brother and was once her near cultivation partner,

What do you think?”

Become brothers?

In a way, he barely counts as my brother-in-law, or perhaps I’m the trickster in his life?

A strange thought flashed through Chen Yi’s mind.

“This person talks irresponsibly, only believe a fraction of his words if must. If it weren’t for the fact that Fairy Ma had indeed been adopted by the Ma family before, I would have killed this person. Fairy Ma and I are both very annoyed by him.

Why do you ask this?”

Chen Yi counter-questioned.

“Oh, that’s good,” Wu Cong was much more relieved:

“My Wu family redeemed the Second-Tier Spiritual Veins of Danxia Pill for him, but now Ma Huantian can’t provide me with enough spirit stones as per the agreement, yet he still wants to occupy the Second-Tier Spiritual Veins,

In addition, the scattered members of the Ma family and the members of my Wu family are currently cultivating on Danxia Island resulting in some friction and misunderstanding.”

Chen Yi immediately understood. Ma Huantian definitely used Chen Yi and Ma Xiaoqiu’s names to deceive Wu Cong,

And, if Chen Yi and Ma Xiaoqiu were around on Danxia Island, Wu Cong would have to put up with any unfair treatment if he was bullied.

“Daoist Wu, Ma Huantian once had ill intentions towards Fairy Ma and almost succeeded. Fairy Ma’s cultivation level has been lagging because of what happened then,

If there is a conflict between your two families, you need not worry about my relationship with Fairy Ma, proceed as per law.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Cong’s eyes lit up, and he once again saluted Chen Yi:

“Thank you, Doctor Chen, for your guidance. I hope that in the future, Doctor Chen will take care of the Wu family.”
