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

As for Chen Yi, the greatest fortune he has is not his spiritual roots but the fact that he encompasses both the realms of Martial Arts and Immortal Cultivation. He enjoys the nourishment from both spiritual energy and laws, which is where his greatest potential lies.

Hence, Chen Yi's target for Core Formation in this lifetime is to form a True Core and a Gold Core!

However, forming a True Core is incredibly difficult. It requires high standards in one's Martial Method, mindset, and opportunities, whereas the basic Mana is not so important.

As for how to form a Gold Core, Chen Yi currently has no clues. This is the direction he needs to explore for the next hundred years.

Having determined the general direction,

Chen Yi began to ponder other matters, such as re-selecting a cultivation location, upgrading his protective abilities, having abundant spirit stones, maintaining existing relationships, and developing new connections.

All of these need a strategic approach.

For the location of Immortal Cultivation, Chen Yi had a vague plan in mind. On the north side of the Ten Thousand Islands Alliance, lay a perennially ice-covered glacier area,

There was a sect called the Cold Sword Gate, a Sword Cultivator sect that practiced ice attribute techniques. The known leader of the sect was a cultivator in the mid-stage True Core,

They were a major righteous sect in the Ten Thousands Islands and had close ties with the Law Enforcement Team within the Ten Thousand Islands Alliance,

Many of the Sword Cultivators from the Law Enforcement Team came from this sect.

And because Ice veins were rather inactive and cultivators practicing ice attribute techniques were relatively few, some cultivation spots with Second Tier spiritual veins within the sect's jurisdiction were left unoccupied and could be leased to Loose Cultivators for a long period of time,

Chen Yi planned to use Wang Tengfei's connections to find a suitable location with a Second Tier upper-class ice attribute spiritual vein and settle down there for a long time.

The main technique Chen Yi practiced, the Turtle Breathing Technique, had a water attribute that leaned towards ice, and Meimei had ice essence physique, so the ice attribute spiritual veins were extremely suitable for them.

As for the Earthfire required for Chen Yi to refine pills, he already had clues to solve that problem,

There were alternatives to finding Earthfire,

For example, a second Tier Peculiar Fire would be auctioned in the auction jointly hosted by the four major business associations in Wangyue City in three years,

If Chen Yi could get it, it would solve the problem of lacking Earthfire for pill refining.

With a direction for cultivation in sight, there's no need to worry about day-to-day cultivation,

If Chen Yi can keep refining pills on track, there will be a continuous income from selling spirit stones. Then everything will start going well.

As for the method of protection, Chen Yi plans to delve deeper into Body Refining, explore the practice of the Vajra Sutra, and due to his increased energy after the Foundation Establishment, he plans to learn an additional skill to enhance his defensive ability,

For Chen Yi, the best skills would be puppetry or array techniques, but these heritages are extremely hard to come by,

At present, what Chen Yi can access is the Daoist Way,

Regarding this, Chen Yi plans to go back to the Martial World to find any inheritance,

Because when it comes to inheritance, the ancient phenomena passed down in the Martial World are closer to the origin of the Great Path than those in the Immortal Cultivation World.

At the same time, his Body Refining cultivation needs to be put back on the agenda. Apart from needing a large amount of second tier Vitality and Blood Pills and special Demon Beast flesh and blood resources,

Chen Yi's Vajra Bracelet has exhausted its gold attribute spirit object,

If it tries to supplement its energy by absorbing spiritual energy naturally, it would take a long time,

Chen Yi cannot wait that long, he had been thinking about and searching for a method to accelerate energy replenishment,

If there is an abundant supply of gold attribute spirit objects, Chen Yi can speed up his progress in refining his golden body and Body Refining cultivation.

Especially after the journey in the Demon Territory, Chen Yi realized that his golden body played a significant role.

While the Turtle Breathing Technique requires consistent effort, if Chen Yi completes Marrow Refining and forms Pill Force in the Vajra Sutra, becoming a Body Refining cultivator with a golden core early on,

Chen Yi's strength will take a huge leap forward.

The method to replenish energy in spirit objects needs a precious resource, stalactite milk,

This is extremely expensive and whenever it appears, it would be quickly snatched up,

This requires a large amount of spirit stones and strong connections,

Chen Yi plans to try his luck at the Yang Family Chamber of Commerce and various other auctions.

But even counting the 3000 spirit stones given by Yang Dan, Chen Yi only has less than 5000 spirit stones. All the savings he had before was used in practicing Foundation Establishment Pill refining,

The most valuable items I have now are two Foundation Establishment Pills, apart from that, I don't have anything else to sell.

It seems I'll have to hurry up with my first transaction with the Ye Family.

At the same time, Chen Yi also needs to find a way to quickly earn some spirit stones, because from now on whether it's buying Pill Furnaces, Peculiar Fire, or even renting Spiritual Veins Cave Mansions, everything requires a lot of spirit stones.

Also, those whom wronged me by stealing my pills, I won't forget. If there is an appropriate opportunity, Chen Yi absolutely won't let them off easily.

...

With a rough plan in my mind, Chen Yi realized that he has a lot of things to do in the near future,

One at a time,

Chen Yi needs to first heal Zhao Chengyu's injuries, after that, Chen Yi doesn't plan to stay in Wangyue City for much longer, Zhao Chengyu's injury has been delayed for quite a while, it's about time to heal it.

Chen Yi sent a message to Zhao Chengyu, telling him to arrive at my mansion three days later.

"Brother Chen, you've just reached the Foundation Establishment stage, it's appropriate to rest for a while, my injury is not pressing."

Zhao Chengyu came to Chen Yi's mansion, although his heart was set on the battle happening on Zhao Family Island, he didn't want to tire out Chen Yi either.

"No need to worry about it. After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, I've gained some insights about treating injuries in the meridians, according to the previous plan, you would take a few more years to recover. Now, I can try a new method, if it works, you can recover fully in a few months!"

"Really?!"

Zhao Chengyu was pleasantly surprised, and asked:

"Brother Chen, are there any downsides to this method?"

"There are no downsides really, it's just that... it doesn't matter, let's try it first."

Chen Yi asked Zhao Chengyu to sit steady and not move, he wanted to say that this method drains a little Turtle Breathing essence, hoping that Zhao Chengyu would give him some spirit stones, he really needed a lot of spirit stones lately,

But he held it in as they've been brothers for many years, Chen Yi simply couldn't say it.

After he had him sit, Chen Yi symbolically gave him a second-tier injury-healing pill.

Then, working his Turtle Breath Magical Power, he started to treat Zhao Chengyu,

Because he had already been treated for several years, Zhao Chengyu's body had improved a lot,

Plus, with the second-tier injury-healing pill as a cover, this time, Chen Yi used a little more force, spent a little bit of Turtle Breath essence,

And in one go, Zhao Chengyu's injuries were completely healed.

After a while, Chen Yi's face turned pale, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, he looked exhausted.

Zhao Chengyu was overjoyed when he found that he was completely healed,

His body was full of vitality, his meridians and Dantian had no injuries left,

His cultivation, which had been stagnant since he reached the Foundation Establishment stage, now showed signs of rapid progress!

He bowed deeply to Chen Yi:

"Brother Chen, I can't thank you enough for this great kindness, from now on, I owe you half my life! Here is the money for your medical expenses over the years, please take it!"

After saying this, Zhao Chengyu left a bag of spirit stones without giving Chen Yi a chance to refuse, then he left.

Chen Yi opened it and saw there were 3000 spirit stones!

"Chengyu... you're too thoughtful."

One down, onto the next task, Song Chengcheng.

Healing a brother is easy, just treat him like a slab of meat to be healed,

As for healing Song Chengcheng's injuries, Chen Yi feels... some complicated emotions.
