Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World - Chapter 59 56: Young People Don't Value Martial Ethics, They Scheme Against Me, An Old Man

After giving his instructions, Chen Yi left. Not having to sell the fish himself would save a lot of time and if the silver coins earned were more than selling directly to the restaurant, then that would be even better.

As for risks, he wasn’t selling valuable species like the Red Blood Carp. If the two couldn’t handle a business worth a hundred or so silver coins, then there was no point in partnering with them.

Leaving the two behind, Chen Yi returned to the boat and navigated to an uninhabited spot at the center of Spirit Mist Lake.

For some reason, Chen Yi didn’t want to stay on that 32 island for long. In territory potentially occupied by cultivators, he felt uneasy doing anything, as if he were doing things right under others’ noses. He felt utterly insecure.

He was more familiar with the endless expanse of Spirit Mist Marsh,

He hid inside the boat, took out a Strong Bone Pill, thought for a moment, pinched about one-tenth of it and put it in his mouth.

As soon as it entered his stomach, the medicine mud transformed into a warm stream, spreading heat inside his abdomen just as Liu Zhu described.

His blood began to flow faster and his Vitality and Blood Power started to rise.

Of course, Chen Yi wasn’t going to run around recklessly or need to exert himself ten times a night like Liu Zhu to dissipate the medicinal effect.

He simply assumed the stance of the Vajra Fist, combined with his own nascent comprehensive breathing technique, and began to throw punches one by one,

Thump, thump, thump, thump.

Half an hour later, after completing a set of the Fist Technique, Chen Yi felt that he’d nearly absorbed all the medicinal effect.

When he exerted all his Vitality and Blood, he found that his arms were almost completely covered in Iron Skin and that the muscles on one side of his forearm had become more solid and stronger.

It seemed that this muscle, which he didn’t know the name of, had probably completed the washing process of the first stage Body Refining,

Meanwhile, his hand bones started manifesting signs of itching, hardening, and firming up.

Thump, thump, thump. Chen Yi pounded his fists against each other. Even without using the Iron Skin state, they made a sound like metal clashing against stone.

“It appears that, despite my rebalancing of my breath and my focus on refining my Vitality and Blood, a portion of the Vitality and Blood will inevitably be used to wash over my bones.

I’m not sure if I’m now simultaneously practicing the flesh refinement of the first layer of Body Refining and the bone refinement of the second layer.

Looking at the effects of the first layer of washing and refining the flesh,

My current cleansing of the bones should only be considered a rinse, roughly the intensity required for the Martial World’s Anjin,

It’s still far from the bone-refining intensity of the Body Refining Cultivation in this world.

But that’s pretty good. Maybe I don’t need to complete the full Iron Skin cultivation to be able to develop Anjin!”

On the whole, Chen Yi only ate a tenth of the pill, roughly equivalent to the Vitality and Blood enhancing effect brought about by half a Red Blood Carp.

It appears that turning elements into medicine by refining is much better than simply eating a fish.

Unfortunately, in this world, most Body Cultivators rely on external forces like medicinal power combined with spiritual energy to wash their bodies. If they also followed the path of Vitality and Blood, there would probably be innumerable Body Refining experts.

Chen Yi did a little summing up. This time, he broke off half of a Strong Bone Pill, swallowed it, and continued practicing the Vajra Fist.

This time, he lasted for two hours. Chen Yi repeated the Vajra Fist countless times.

Both the skin, muscles, and bones of his arms and legs underwent different degrees of changes.

When he opens his eyes, he finds that his strength has increased by at least one-tenth!

Keep in mind, with his current first stage of Body Refining and late stage of Mingjin, his strength in one arm has reached thirteen to fourteen hundred pounds. When it comes to his fist or leg strength, the combined explosive force can reach 2000 pounds!

Now his increase of about one-tenth not only means an increase in strength, but also in total Vitality and Blood, power, iron skin, muscle changes, and overall defense capability of his refined body parts.

Regarding the muscles of the arm that Chen Yi has refined, he can resist normal steel blades without using any strength.

Even if a blade is wielded quickly by an Anjin expert, it would have a hard time penetrating his tight and strong muscles, it wouldn’t hurt his bones at all.

This only accounts for enhanced defense due to limb refinement. If his chest and back have the same effect, his rib cage and internal organs would be well protected, greatly enhancing his vitality.

This is what’s meant by Body Cultivators’ tough skin and dense flesh, making them hard to kill.

At this moment, Chen Yi longed for Ma Zi Gang’s Iron Shirt Technique even more.

“Hmm, I’ll wait a bit longer. Once I’ve fully refined my body to its limits and upgraded my strength significantly, I’ll head to the county to figure out how to acquire the Iron Shirt Technique.”

…

The next day, Chen Yi caught a couple of nets of fish in the lake, about the same amount as the day before, and brought them to the 32nd island.

He came to the shantytown on the eastern edge of the island, where the poorest fishermen lived.

Chen Yi arrived at Liu Zhu’s doorstep with the fish in hand.

At this moment, Liu Zhu and Er Gou were already standing at the door. Liu Zhu was holding a small bag carefully and looking outside, upon seeing Chen Yi, he let out a long sigh of relief and then excitedly invited Chen Yi into the house.

“Boss, we completed the mission. Yesterday, Er Gou and I ran around for a day, sold a few big fishes to some old masters who love eating fish, the leftover smaller ones were also sold at a high price at the market,

Here is 120 taels of silver, not a penny less!”

Chen Yi took the cloth bag and weighed it, indeed, there was no shortfall,

He nodded satisfyingly. If he had sold these fish on his own, the restaurant would have paid at most 70 or so taels, and might even have bargained down the price upon seeing his abundant supply of fish.

Unexpectedly, these two little guys really surprised him.

“This is your share.”Chen Yi picked out a few silver pieces, about 13 or 14 taels, and threw them to Liu Zhu.

“Also, these are today’s fish, go sell them.” Chen Yi dumped the two nets of fish into the large tank they had prepared.

“Thank you, boss, thank you, boss!”

After receiving the silver, Liu Zhu looked somewhat excited.

He did not expect that doing legitimate business could also earn him money, and quite a lot at that, which was way more than what he and Er Gou would earn by scamming people occasionally!

If they continued like this, after a few more days of accumulation, he could again visit Elder Liu.

Chen Yi stowed the silver, and took the bottle of ten-year-old Daughter’s Red brew to Elder Liu.

“Elder Liu, here I am again.”

“Hm? You kid, didn’t you just take two of your specially-made Blood and Vitality pills the other day, there’s no way you’ve consumed them so quickly, right?” Elder Liu wondered.

“Hehe, I didn’t come today to buy medicine, I just think the effects of the medicine are really good, so I came specifically to express my gratitude!

This is a ten year old Daughter’s Red brew that I had sent for from the mainland through a special channel, would you like to have a taste?”

Chen Yi chatted as he walked.

Upon hearing this, Elder Liu immediately grew suspicious.

“Kid, are you setting your sights on my Qi cultivation technique, huh?

Give up, my technique only prolongs life, it has no combat ability and is not suitable for young people like you,

I see you have spiritual light. If you want to cultivate to become an immortal, you could go to the Spirit Mist area, there are plenty of opportunities there,

Don’t get any ideas about my old cultivation technique.”

“No, no, Elder Liu, you’re overthinking this. Every time I see you, I’m reminded of my grandfather. He used to love this Daughter’s Red brew when I was a kid, I just sincerely want to honor you.

Just smell this wine, even though it’s ordinary, it’s very simple, here, have a taste?”

Chen Yi didn’t know whether his grandfather actually liked Daughter’s Red brew or not, but while he was talking he uncorked the bottle and poured a cup.

Suddenly, a rich aroma of wine wafted out.

Elder Liu shifted uncomfortably on his stool, his gaze continually straying towards the bottle of wine.

“Are you sure you’re not planning on taking my cultivation technique?”

“Absolutely not!”

“Well then, shouldn’t I…have a taste?”

“Have a taste!”

….

After three rounds of wine, Chen Yi started speaking.

“Elder Liu, your medical knowledge must be the top tier on this island, right?

I find the pills you mixed for me ​​really effective.

I had one yesterday, you know what?”

“What happened?”

“Surprisingly, I developed an interest in the method and principle of pill-making. So, could I possibly be your assistant for a while?”

“Pff! Ptui ptui ptui!” Elder Liu pretended to spit out the wine in his mouth, “I knew you were up to no good! Trying to take advantage of an old man like me!

You don’t want to study Qi Cultivation, but you want to learn my Pill Art, you’re just emptying out my bag of knowledge!”
