Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World-Chapter 62 - 59 ’Tortoise Breathing Calming Qi Skills

A quarter of an hour later, on the side of the pier, Chen Yi was holding some silver and following a few men from behind,

"Where are you taking me? There isn't a pharmacy here, is there?"

"We'll be there soon, just on the nearby island, let's get on the boat."

"Oh, we need a boat. Then you can come on my boat, it's fast," said Chen Yi.

"It doesn't matter whose boat it is, as long as we get on a boat."

Chen Yi took the three men on his own awning boat and, without waiting for their guidance, directly headed towards the depths of the Great Swamp, purposely choosing a blind spot on the island where there were no people in sight.

"Hmm? Haha, big brother, look, this old guy chose an uninhabited treasure spot, no need for us to worry anymore, what a life-saver, haha!"

"Save your bullshit! Something is off about this guy!!" Zhang Heng turned back and scolded his follower.

"What's wrong! Who exactly are you? Where are you headed?" Zhang Heng stood up, warily watching Chen Yi, his hand quietly reaching into his pocket as if he was holding onto something.

"The pharmacy. Didn't I mention, I need to buy medicine for my sons?" Chen Yi replied.

"Make a move!" Zhang Heng, sensing something was off, felt like he was a fish on the hook, quickly shouted.

Immediately, his two followers each pulled out a dagger and charged forward,

However, they saw Chen Yi's figure flash and appear in front of the two gangsters,

Bang bang,

The two men's skulls shattered on cue, falling limply to the ground,

The daggers they held were blocked by Chen Yi's arms. Upon closer inspection, not a scratch could be found on Chen Yi's arms,

Not even a white mark.

Zhang Heng's face instantly changed: "A body refining martial artist?! Senior, you can't kill me, do you know who I am?"

"Who are you?"

"Behind me is the Second Young Master of the Lin Family! His master is a powerful being at the First Layer of body refining! Senior, why not just drop this dispute today?"

"Oh, the Second Young Master of the Lin Family, huh. Okay, I'll remember that.

So, do you know who I am?"

"May I ask, who is senior...?"

Bang!

Before Zhang Heng could even finish, Chen Yi had blinked and smashed his heart with a single blow.

"If you don't know me, how will you take your revenge?"

Just as he finished fighting, Chen Yi suddenly realized something was off! There was a flare in the pocket of that man,

Boom!

The next moment, that flare instantly exploded, transforming into a ball of fire, blasting Zhang Heng's body into pieces,

Chen Yi reacted too late and was also hit by the explosion on half his body,

Leaving him... in pain all over.

"Tsk, tsk, I've been so cautious for half a year, and I still ended up being set-up.

I was too careless!"

After waiting a good while longer, Chen Yi ensured there were no more tricks from the dead man's body before inspecting it,

"Now, let's see what caused that explosion."

After some examination, Chen Yi deduced from several fragments that the explosion was probably caused by a talisman scroll...

"A talisman scroll that mortals can activate? Interesting."

"Given its power, if I were just an ordinary Anjin warrior, I would probably have gotten hurt.

Thankfully, being at the First Layer of body refining, my powerful flesh and vitality and blood power blocked the explosive flame."

Nevertheless, it did leave half of Chen Yi's body aching for a good while.

"Also, he kept his hand in his pocket for so long, so he was probably preparing to detonate the talisman scroll, right?

Villains often die from talking too much, I should have struck immediately, killed him first, and asked questions later,

Why bother figuring out who his backer is? Got yourself blown up right?

Lesson learned!"

"If a henchman of the Second Young Master of the Lin Family has such a defensive talisman scroll, I fear the Lin Family must be connected to some Immortal Cultivation forces,

I should be more careful.

Luckily, I appeared in the market with this middle-aged face. No one should recognize me."

"Hmm, my two little brothers' enemies have been dealt with, so no one should disturb his fish selling, right?

Right now, I've just started practicing bone refinement, flesh refinement, Anjin and the like altogether. My need for Vitality and Blood is extremely high,

It's about time I think of ways to increase the grade of the Strong Bone Pill. The ones I used before were made with the most basic materials,

Elder Liu should have some higher-grade materials.

I just don't know how much they'll cost."

...

"Are you sure you want to change the main ingredients to a hundred-year-old Tiger Whale Bone and fifty-year-old Volcanic Flowers? Kid, even a second-layer body-refining martial artist might not be able to withstand the formula you've chosen,

From my observations of you, I'm afraid even the first layer of body refinement is barely within your reach. Be careful, don't overburden yourself!"

In Elder Liu's yard, Chen Yi proposed revising the formula for the Strong Bone Pill, specially selecting a few high-grade medicinal materials with similar properties,

"Don't worry, Elder Liu. I've got it under control. This pill is for my father. Its potency is just right for him."

"Hmph, I'm just worried that if you die, I won't have anyone to drink with. As long as you understand the risks, I won't stop you from trying to refine it. This batch of pills should yield about 2-3 pills, the cost price of which is 20 gold. I won't charge you for my guidance or spiritual energy consumption. Just give me 20 gold, and I'll teach you how to make it."

20 gold?!!

Twenty times the original price?!

Chen Yi checked the 2 pieces of gold he had saved these few days. After calculating his current progress of earning a little over 100 silver a day and subtracting the daily consumption of one Strong Bone Pill, he realized that it would take more than a month to save up 20 gold.

"Ahem, I think my father can wait a little longer. Elder Liu, let's just make the regular Strong Bone Pills today. Let's make a few days' worth in one go."

"Hmph, as you wish."

"Elder Liu, can you show me how to use the spiritual fire for roasting and the steps to form the powder into pills?"

"No, you can't. You don't have mana to control this kind of spiritual flame, so how can you do it."

"Elder Liu, I found a jar of 30-year-old Daughter's Red Brew at home yesterday. My father doesn't really drink it, should I bring it over for you?"

"Ahem ahem ahem, what?" Elder Liu perked up upon hearing this, "The aroma from a ten-year-old brew is already this rich. I wonder what a thirty-year-old one tastes like?!"

"Hmm, this Qi cultivation technique I practice has no combat ability. Its only features are being low-profile and promoting longevity,

Given your situation, you could totally go to the Spiritual mist to learn a destructive attribute Qi cultivation technique,

Otherwise, you'll regret it later,

You have to understand, the Immortal Cultivation World is not as peaceful as our mortal realm, it's full of fights and killing!"

Low-profile and longevity? That seems to suit me rather well!

As for combat ability, my body refining skills can supplement my lack of combat power.

"Elder Liu, to what extent can your technique be cultivated to?"

"In terms of potential alone, all Qi cultivation techniques are more or less the same. They all involve drawing Qi into the body, using spiritual power to expand meridians and Dantian, and then waiting for the day when the spiritual power is full to have a chance for Foundation Establishment.

Theoretically, anything that can draw Qi into the body could reach the Foundation Establishment stage."

"That's great, then I'll start practicing it? If I feel it's not suitable later, I can just switch to another technique after I reach the Foundation Establishment stage, right?"

"Tsk! Switch to another technique? Foundation Establishment? You're thinking way ahead. There are nine layers in Qi Cultivation, each with its own hurdles. You should focus on successfully drawing Qi into your body first.

Moreover, this is the mortal realm. The spiritual energy here is thin. Even if you learn a technique, it won't be of any use. Without the support of spiritual energy, what will you use to cultivate Qi?"

"So, how about you?" Chen Yi asked curiosly. Since there's no spiritual energy here and Elder Liu has been here for tens of years, he must have a solution, right?

"I'm a Pill Alchemist, naturally, I can use pills to replenish my mana. But, as for you, what are you going to rely on to cultivate Qi in this mortal realm?

Do you want to buy my Qi Supplement Pills? It's ten pills for one spirit stone. Even if I decide to be charitable and sell it to you at the gold price, it's still 100 gold per pill. Are you sure you can afford it?"

Chen Yi: "..."

"Elder Liu, regardless, I'd like to at least give it a try. As for spiritual energy or pills, there will always be a way."

"Hmph, here, be sure to bring that 30-year-old brew over tomorrow!"

Elder Liu made a light gesture with his hand, and a thin booklet flew through the air into Chen Yi's hands.

When Chen Yi looked down, he saw a few large characters written on it:

"Turtle Breath Calming Technique"
