Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World

Song Chengcheng, being a close friend of Chen Yi, felt somewhat uncomfortable after her body was seen in full view,

but because of this, she developed a subtle fondness for Chen Yi,

who she had been deeply worried about before.

Now, after Chen Yi's successful foundation establishment, Song Chengcheng was able to sit and chat with him with ease,

Time was long, and the path to the Great Path was far,

Their future journey could be taken slowly, and romance wasn't the most important matter on this path.

Chen Yi, in his blue clothes looked like a vibrant young man, carrying a sense of maturity in his gestures,

Song Chengcheng, in white dress, skin as exquisite as jade, her beautiful eyes wandering, sat across from Chen Yi, presenting an aura of serene and refreshing beauty,

They both found common ground in their discussions and developed a mutual appreciation for each other.

They chatted for most of the day,

and soon, Zhao Chengyu and Wang Tengfei arrived,

"Congratulations on your foundation establishment, Brother Chen. We four can now compete for another hundred years."

They handed their gifts to the maid Liu Emei and sat down at the feast prepared by Chen Yi and helped themselves to the spiritual alcohol.

Ever since hearing the music at the Silk Bamboo Palace, Zhao Chengyu has had his heart set straight. He felt truly happy for Chen Yi's foundation establishment,

Despite being awestruck by the stunning Song Chengcheng and the icy beauty Liu Emei, he had no romantic feelings towards them.

Wang Tengfei had in fact been secretly fond of Song Chengcheng for many years. Decades ago, when she was making her flying sword,

the usually silent Wang Tengfei quietly offered a piece of top-grade cold iron, greatly helping Song Chengcheng,

But he knew that Song Chengcheng, with her striking beauty and being a disciple of a powerful sect, was someone he could never match,

so Wang Tengfei took risks to explore the secret realm, gained the help of the Senior Sword Spirit, successfully established his foundation, and also joined the official Ten Thousand Islands Alliance,

only then did he barely felt qualified to grow closer to Song Chengcheng,

however, after their trip to the Demon Territory,

he noticed a change in Song Chengcheng's attitude towards Chen Yi when they returned.

What happened that night between them?

Previously, Wang Tengfei hadn't thought too deeply about this. After all, given Song Chengcheng's status, even he barely qualified,

How could it be possible for a Qi cultivator like Chen Yi?

However, now, Chen Yi had also successfully established his foundation...

With a bitter heart, Wang Tengfei raised his cup, congratulating Chen Yi.

Cultivators live long lives, each one targeting the Great Path and having ambitious goals,

Although romantic feelings exist, compared to mundane human concerns over procreation, cultivators take it lightly.

At this time, seeing Song Chengcheng showing obvious favor towards Chen Yi,

although bitter, Wang Tengfei was alright, not choosing to point it out and destroy the decades old friendship among them,

Furthermore, Chen Yi and Song Chengcheng had only become closer, they hadn't become cultivation partners,

Chen Yi, who established his foundation at the age of 60 and cultivated the extremely slow Turtle Breathing technique,

how far he could go in the future remained uncertain,

Wang Tengfei remained confident that with the help of the Sword Spirit, he could go higher and further,

"Brother Chen, who Daoist Song will choose is not yet decided. The path of cultivation is long, we'll see in the future."

Wang Tengfei comforted himself and then raised his glass to Chen Yi again.

"Time flies so fast."

Chen Yi said with some emotion,

He still remembered the event more than twenty years ago, at the foundation establishment celebration of Song Chengcheng on Qinglong Island,

He, Zhao Chengyu, and Liu Huo were feeling out of place, and it was Song Chengcheng who defended them and saved them from embarrassment,

Now, all of them had successfully established their foundations.

"It's a pity about Daoist Liu..."

Chen Yi sighed silently.

Zhao Chengyu understood what Chen Yi meant, but he was helpless. Allowing Liu Huo to manage the restaurant so that he could accumulate not a small amount of spirit stones, was everything Zhao Chengyu could do,

Zhao Chengyu himself was stuck in the early stages of foundation construction and had no ability to assist Liu Huo establish his foundation,

Furthermore, even if he could get a Foundation Establishment Pill,

there were countless Zhao Family Qi Cultivators who were in line. As the future head of the Zhao Family, no matter how good his relationship with Liu Huo was, he couldn't possibly help him establish his foundation.

The journey of cultivation is long, it's inevitable that not all friends from the beginning will make it to the end. Some will be left behind.

...

"Hahaha, Daoist Chen, congratulations on your successful foundation establishment!"

As they drank and chatted, someone entered from outside.

The little maid Liu Emei, her face flushed, stepped back, not daring to stop him.

Chen Yi followed the voice and saw that the person was Tan Feng.

"Chen Daoist, without being invited, I've intruded upon your festivities. I hope I haven't disrupted your good mood. Here is a humble gift to celebrate your successful Foundation Establishment. Please accept it."

Seeing Tan Feng walk in with a gift,

Chen Yi considered his thoughts, suppressing the urge to throw him out,

At the present, Chen Yi should not demonstrate any signs of animosity towards those who snatched his Foundation Establishment Pill.

"Chen Daoist, about that day, I was commissioned by Yang Dan, please don't take it to heart."

Tan Feng casually made an excuse without any sincerity. In fact, his eyes kept wandering over Liu Emei's figure, contemplating.

But with four Foundation Establishment cultivators present, Tan Feng couldn't casually probe with his divine sense to examine Liu Emei's condition,

However, his instincts told him that there was something special about Liu Emei.

Luckily, Tan Feng understood he was unwelcome. So after briefly showing his face, he soon left,

His main reason to come was to inspect the situation; he paid attention to Chen Yi and his friends' expressions and reactions to gauge whether they harbored grudges against him,
