The world of cultivating immortals struggles to develop, and the world of martial arts strikes hard

"Dr. Chen, I haven't seen you for more than 40 years, and you still have the temperament of a young man. I really envy you."

Yang Dan, wearing a purple palace robe and bringing a middle-aged man with him, came to visit Xiaohan Peak.

Facing real people, Chen Yi did not hesitate:

"Senior, this is a joke. This junior is just timid and afraid of getting into trouble. I stay away from the wind and rain in the world of immortality and hide here alone to be quiet. Senior, you are already a true elixir cultivator.

This is what makes the juniors envious. With their cultivation efficiency, they may not be able to form elixirs in this life. "

Chen is not exaggerating. He is now 103 years old. He has successfully built the foundation at the age of 60. He is still in the middle stage of foundation building. His cultivation skills are poor and his spiritual talent is also poor.
If there are no accidents, it is basically impossible to reach the peak of foundation building before the age of 180.

The lifespan of an ordinary foundation-building monk is in the early 200s, but if it exceeds 150, its condition will begin to decline. If it exceeds 180, it will generally enter the later years of the monk's life. At this time, there is basically no hope of forming a core.

"Dr. Chen is being humble. 40 years ago, everyone was not optimistic about your foundation building, but you succeeded in building the foundation. Now, Dr. Chen is a practitioner of the three arts of medicine, alchemy, and fu. He is famous both inside and outside, and the seniors of the Ling family are interested. If If you can seize the opportunity, I believe you have a good chance of forming a false elixir."

Yang Dan chatted with Chen Yi. In fact, according to normal development, Chen Yi would indeed reach the end of his cultivation in the middle or later stages of foundation building.

Whether it was Ling Jingjing or Yang Dan, showing Chen Yi the prospect of a fake elixir was already looking up to him.

Chen Yi smiled noncommittally. He didn't care what outsiders thought.

"Doctor Chen, I am here to apologize."

After sitting down, Liu Momei poured tea for the three of them.

"Oh?" Doctor Chen pretended not to know.

"Forty years ago, because of my incompetent brother, I forcibly traded away Dr. Chen's fine foundation-building pill, which was regarded as robbing Dr. Chen of an opportunity.

Today, I brought this useless younger brother with me and came to Dr. Chen to apologize, hoping that Dr. Chen could put aside the past grudges. "

As he spoke, Yang Dan asked his younger brother Yang Hui to bow to Chen Yi and give him a storage bag.

Back then, after Yang Hui got the fine foundation-building pill, he also successfully built the foundation, but after all, it was forcibly carried up by his sister, so the foundation was poor.

Now more than 40 years have passed, and he has not yet been promoted to the middle stage of foundation building. There is basically no hope, unless he has great luck and encounters a great opportunity.

Otherwise, the early stage of foundation building is likely to be the end of Yang Hui's life.

When Yang Hui saluted Chen Yi, Chen Yi quickly raised his head and used magic power to lift it up.
"Fellow Daoist Yang, what are you doing? It's okay.

Senior Yang Dan, what happened back then was an equal deal. Chen has long forgotten that it is really unnecessary for you to come here specially. "

Chen Yi stopped Yang Hui from saluting, but he couldn't push the storage bag he handed over, so he had no choice but to accept it half-heartedly.

Yang Hui was moved by Chen Yi's enthusiasm and felt that her sister seemed to be doing something unnecessary. This doctor Chen did not remember the grudge he had made back then.

Yang Dan originally thought so. Over the years, she had never heard a single word from Dr. Oogway that he was dissatisfied with the high-quality Foundation Establishment Pill being robbed.
Moreover, Chen Yi is also kind to others. He has been hiding in Xiaohan Peak for 40 years and has hardly moved.

If she hadn't heard that Ling Jingjing suddenly extended an olive branch to Chen Yi, she wondered if she could also compete with Chen Yi, a versatile craftsman, and carefully thought about her past experience with Chen Yi.

Then I was shocked to find out that something happened to those who ganged up to bully Chen Yi back then!

Master Liu Yonggang and City Master Yue Xiu both died. Tan Feng also died inexplicably, and his genuine Crystal Condensation Pill was replaced with a defective one.
The cause of Liu Yonggang's death is still unknown, although it is rumored that he was killed by Zhao Jingwu.
But looking at the financial resources Zhao Jingwu showed in preventing him from forming a pill,
It is not like the result of intercepting Master Liu Yonggang's wealth for so many years. Zhao Jingwu, as a fake alchemy monk, is a bit poor.

It was also very strange when Tan Feng died later. When he formed the pill to protect himself, the combat ability and combat experience he released were very good.
Moreover, he could hurt Zhao Jingwu just by fighting with the puppets and talismans he gave him. As a core disciple of Qinglong Island, the head of the Tan family, and a beloved disciple of Master Chengji, Tan Feng must have a lot of treasures to protect the Tao.

When none of these things were used, he was suddenly killed by Zhao Jingwu?

There is something strange here.

Some time ago, Zhao Jingwu came out, and the inner demon oath passed down through a certain family of minor cultivators did not seem to be a lie.

Although all evidence points to Zhao Jingwu,
But as one of the parties involved, Yang Dan always felt that the matter was not that simple. Zhao Jingwu really didn't look like the person who killed Tan Feng.

So, how did Tan Feng die?

His genuine Crystal Condensation Pill and a bunch of valuable third-level magic weapons, talismans, puppets, etc. are all at Tan Feng's place.

Where did those things go?
The emergence of this series of doubts forced Yang Dan to think of a shocking possibility.
If the murderer behind these things is Dr. Chen Yi, it would be terrible.

Although there is no evidence, many things in the world of immortality do not require evidence. As long as she feels that it is possible, it is enough for her to be vigilant.
She still remembered that many years ago, the robbery cultivator Jiang Hao told a secret, that is, there was a reclusive boss-Qinglian layman who was currently living in the world of mortals in this spiritual mist lake.

There are all kinds of magic in the world of immortality. You can't just believe what you see with your eyes. Sometimes intuition is very important.

This time, Yang Danyi asked her younger brother to apologize to Chen Yi in order to ease the grudges that may have been formed back then. Even if there was a slight possibility that Chen Yi had done these things, her apology was a way of escape for herself.

The second point is to come and see Chen Yi in person, test his cultivation and skills, and use secret methods to sense his own talisman, puppet, and Aunt Qin's quasi-magic weapon.

But so far, Chen Yi has performed flawlessly, no different from a normal mid-stage foundation-building monk.
When Yang Dan secretly sensed those treasures in private, he didn't find any trace of their existence.

It seems to be a coincidence, these things have nothing to do with Chen Yi.

Yang Dan made a preliminary conclusion in her mind, but it didn't matter, she had a third purpose for coming today.
That is to win over worshipers for the Yang family.

Chen Yi took the storage bag, glanced at it slightly, and showed a look of shock and surprise on his face:

"It turns out to be a quasi-third-level alchemy furnace!

Senior Yang, isn't this too expensive?

How virtuous and capable is Chen, that he can afford such a valuable treasure? "

The alchemy furnace is an exclusive magic weapon for alchemists. Although it is not as valuable as ordinary magic weapons of the same level, it is a quasi-third-level thing. The materials are placed here and are not much cheaper.

Although this one is second-hand, it is definitely not bad. "It's a bit shocking to say that this alchemy furnace is not brand new, it was left behind after the previous alchemy master of my Yang family left.

Anyway, there is no second-level high-grade alchemy master in the Yang family now. I think if I stay here, I will just leave it to eat ashes, so I might as well give it to fellow Taoist Chen.
First of all, it was to build the foundation for Xiaohui back then, and to make amends to Daoyou Chen.

Secondly, I would also like to ask fellow Taoist Chen if he is willing to condescend to come to my Yang family as a worshiper?
The current situation of our Yang family requires talents like Doctor Chen. If Doctor Chen is willing to give in, as long as he is in the Yang family, a certain number of alchemy symbols can be supplied every year. The Yang family does not restrict the freedom of fellow Taoists, and except for third-level spiritual beings, In addition to pulses, it also provides practice resources of no less than 3000 spirit stones per year, and allows Dr. Yang to exchange for high-end resources including crystal elixir auxiliary materials.
If Dr. Yang's alchemy skills reach the third level one day in the future and he is willing to stay in the Yang family permanently, the Yang family is willing to spend hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones to let Dr. Chen refine the top elixirs in the world of immortality such as Crystal Condensation Pill. ,

how is it? "

Yang Dan had already made a plan in his mind. If Chen Yi found suspicious signs that he was the mastermind behind this, then this quasi-third-level pill furnace would be given to him as a pure gift.
If there are no signs, then take advantage of the situation and state your request.
One thing has two uses, no loss.

Hearing this, Chen Yi slapped his hand, so he was waiting for me here.
He put down the storage bag first, and his mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about the pros and cons of Yang Dan inviting him to be a worshiper.

Originally asked if he was willing to serve as an offering, Chen Yi refused without even thinking about it.

But this time, the Yang family gave too much.

The resources of 3000 spiritual stones per year and the right to use third-level spiritual veins are the treatment of the quasi-third-level alchemist who left the Yang family before.
In terms of obligations to be fulfilled, Chen Yi paid less.
A few decades ago, when the Yang family was treated like this, all the alchemists would be in a hurry.

It's just that today is different from the past. The Yang family tree fell and the monkeys scattered. Now this treatment can no longer recruit a quasi-third-level alchemist.
The next best thing, a steady, honest and promising second-level mid-level alchemist like Chen Yi has also entered the Yang family's field of vision.

If he goes to the Yang family to worship, Chen Yi can only get a stable third-level spiritual vein cultivation place and annual spiritual stone resources.
As for the qualifications for redeeming scarce resources and top-level resources such as Crystal Condensation Pills mentioned by the Yang family, Chen Yi didn't think too much. Even if he was qualified, he would have to queue up. Moreover, the Yang family was now in decline, and they may not have many of these top-level resources.

As for training Chen Yi to become an alchemist for refining crystal condensation pills in the future, this is just a piece of cake. The Yang family does not have the strength, and Chen Yi did not listen carefully.

But even so, going to the Yang family to make offerings seems to be a very good choice.

Agreeing at this time is a timely help.

If the Yang family makes a comeback one day, then Chen Yi will be at the senior level.

Or Chen Yi takes root in the Yang family, becomes a Taoist couple with a direct daughter of the Yang family, and gives birth to some descendants. If he enters, he has a chance to become the head of the Yang family, and if he retreats, he can form his own family of immortal cultivators.
If Chen Yi is really just a craftsman and a casual cultivator, it would actually be better to work as a worshiper in the Yang family than to go to Xuantian Continent with Ling Jingjing.

One side is a chicken head, the other side is a phoenix tail,

One side is going to be a master, and the other side is going to be a middle-level worker. There is a big difference.

Of course, this requires betting on the Yang family’s comeback. What if the Yang family doesn’t come back?

Or what if we encounter tigers, leopards and jackals again and even Yang Dan is killed?
Going to Yang's house at this time would be purely a sign of joining the National Army in 7x7.

If Chen Yi was a person who needed opportunities, he might just take the gamble.

But he doesn't need it at all,
After thinking about it, Chen Yi said:
"Thank you Mr. Yang for your kind invitation. I am flattered by your sincerity. If you had come a few years earlier, Chen would be happy to go and take root in the Yang family from now on!"
However, some time ago, senior Ling Jingjing came to invite Chen to join the Lingxiao sect. Although Chen had not yet agreed, he also said that he would consider it for a while before giving her an answer.

Therefore, I apologize that Chen cannot give you a definite answer for the time being.

If Chen fails to go to Lingxiao Sect in the future, he will go to Wangyue City in person to thank Senior Yang for his kindness.

Senior, please forgive me for the reason. "

Chen Yi didn't explain clearly, but here are the unwritten rules in the world of immortality. First, first come, first served. Ling Jingjing invited her first, so Chen Yi naturally had to reply to her first.

The second is the cultivation and power ranking. Ling Jingjing is a golden body monk and is in the middle stage of pill formation. The Lingxiao sect has an elder Nascent Soul sitting in charge. Its cultivation and power level are far higher than those of the Yang family today.
What's more, behind the current tragic situation of the Yang family, there is a faint shadow of Ling Jingjing.

It is even more impossible for Chen Yi to go to Yang's house, as that would risk offending Ling Jingjing.

With Chen Yi's current methods, with all his abilities unleashed, it may be difficult to block the attacks of the mid-stage Golden Core monks.
If he really faced off against such a top figure, Chen Yi would have no choice but to sneak into the world of martial arts to save his life.

What Chen Yi said is pertinent and well-founded.

Yang Dan smiled bitterly and could only understand the current situation. Now that the Yang family was in trouble, it was extremely difficult to find someone willing to help in times of need.

"In this case, I won't force Dr. Chen. If I don't want to worship him, can the Yang family order some elixirs and talismans from Dr. Chen every year?"

"Of course normal transactions are possible. However, Chen's most important thing recently is to complete Ling Zhenren's order first. I wonder how many years Senior Yang is willing to wait?"

Yang Dan's face darkened again when she heard this, but now she really had no choice but to use her biggest trump card:

"What if I am willing to trade the Yang family's high-level resources with Dr. Chen?"

"Oh? Are there any auxiliary medicines such as Crystal Condensation Pill?"

"Have."

"Then Chen can try to work overtime and catch up on the work. Senior Yang, what talismans and elixirs do you want to order?"

"."

The two negotiated for a long time, and the result was that Yang Dan paid the maximum price in exchange for Chen Yi's second priority supply rights to the Yang family in the next few years.

Those prices were originally precious resources used to attract high-level offerings.

Yang Dan is taking a gamble this time. No one in the Yang family can use those resources at present. If he can obtain Chen Yi's high-quality talismans and elixirs, or win Chen Yi's favor,
If the Yang family is really in crisis in the future, there may be a glimmer of hope.

Chen Yi generally would not refuse such benefits delivered to his door.

Of course, Chen Yi had already canceled the cause and effect between Yang Dan and Yang Dan when she formed the foundation-building pill decades ago.

This time, Chen Yi took advantage of the Yang family and reluctantly accepted her favor.

Next, the Yang siblings chatted with Chen Yi for a while.
Then they said goodbye and left. Instead of going back directly, they went to Xiaoqiufeng next door. (End of chapter)
