Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 374 - 183: Wu Cong Worships the Mountain Peak

Ma Huantian's expression was as miserable as if someone had died, watching as the ice in his hand gradually cracked,

He couldn't tug it, nor grasp it, nor join it together,

In the end, with a snap, the jade shattered, and his thing also shattered into several pieces of frozen meat, never again able to be whole.

"No!!!"

Ma Huantian, in despair, looked at the fragments of frozen meat scattered across the ground, his face writhed in unparalleled agony,

"Ma Xiaoqiu! It would have been better if you had just killed me!"

He angrily yelled towards Xiao Qiu Peak, but he was too much of a coward to confront Ma Xiaoqiu for a fight,

She was in the late foundation establishment stage, while he was in the early stages; attacking her would only end in abuse.

"Brother Chen! Doctor Chen! Look, is there any hope for my...?"

Ma Huantian's last shred of hope rested entirely on Chen Yi. He hoped that Chen Yi, as a physician, could perform a miracle.

However, Chen Yi just shook his head:

"It's all shattered like this, now unless a Nascent Soul Great Power steps in, no one else could reconnect it."

After delivering this melancholic assessment, Chen Yi returned to Little Cold Peak with a satisfied heart,

Today was a good day.

As Ma Xiaoqiu did not want to see him, Chen Yi didn't feel the need to linger outside,

Furthermore, this final blow was laid by Ma Xiaoqiu herself, perhaps she was also holding onto the old grudges of sexual assault.

Also, Chen Yi suspected that Wu Cong might be making an attempt this time,

Recently, Wu Cong took over the second-tier spiritual veins of the Ma Family's Danxia Island, but there has been controversy over the secondary spiritual veins generated from the second-tier spiritual veins,

Ma Huantian probably wanted to continue exchanging those minor spiritual veins for spirit stones to support his lifestyle,

But Wu Cong had to maintain the Wu Family, so he couldn't not make a move for those minor veins,

Chen Yi speculated that Wu Cong might be setting up a honeytrap with his concubine. He probably heard about the feud between Ma Huantian and Ma Xiaoqiu,

By doing so, he was both pleasing Ma Xiaoqiu and testing her attitude towards him,

If Ma Xiaoqiu was fine with it, Wu Cong might plan on killing Ma Huantian next, and secure all the spiritual veins and industries on the Ma Family's Danxia Island for himself.

Moreover, Chen Yi also had a conjecture that Wu Cong gained some benefits in the Secret Realm this time, which was why he dared to take such an action,

Now that Ma Xiaoqiu directly shattered Ma Huantian's thing, it seemed like it fit perfectly with Wu Cong's plan.

.....

As expected, not long after Wu Cong arrived at Little Cold Peak to feel out Chen Yi:

"Daoist Chen, Ma Huantian said that my concubine seduced him, that's not true. He tried to infiltrate my backyard, not only seducing one of my concubines, but even tried to hook up with my cultivation partners when they were on the bed...I, in a fit of anger, killed my concubine and perhaps went a bit hard on Ma Huantian, so I…"

Wu Cong explained with a bitter face.

"Not hard at all, cut it properly, cut to cure forever."

"Hm?" Wu suddenly raised his head, his face wasn't bitter anymore, it was filled with joy.

"Haha, Daoist Chen you feel the same! I've been looking down on him for a long time. If not for considering Brother Chen and Fairy Ma, I would have killed him long ago!"

Wu Cong suddenly felt elated, and showed his cards directly to Chen Yi.

"Daoist Chen, this is a second tier, top grade Land Ginseng Fruit that I obtained in the Secret Realm. It helps a second-tier Spirit Beast with earth attributes to breakthrough its levels. You keep it."

Oh? Land Ginseng Fruit?

That's a good item, it should be meant for the Purple Sand Mink.

After Chen Yi took it over, he scanned it with his Divine Sense and found that the Land Ginseng Fruit was not only without problems, but it was also almost 400 years old, which was already considered top-grade in the second tier,

Interesting.

It looks like Wu Cong is really investing in Chen Yi. He has noticed the Purple Sand Mink Chen Yi keeps and specially looked for a Spirit Fruit that the Purple Sand Mink needs to upgrade in the Secret Realm and brought it out,

This gesture would be hard for Chen Yi to refuse.

The moment the Land Ginseng Fruit was taken out, Chen Yi felt the excited vibes from the Purple Sand Mink which was burrowing underground. It desperately wanted it!

"You're thoughtful. I'll accept this fruit."

Chen Yi accepted the fruit with a meaningful gaze.

When Wu Cong saw Chen Yi accepting the fruit, he felt relieved, knowing that he made the right gamble this time.

In his heart, he judged that although Chen Yi appeared to only be in the mid-stage of foundation establishment on the surface, his influence was much greater than that of his neighboring genius Puppet Master Ma Xiaoqiu, who is at the late-stage of foundation establishment.

This time paying respects to Chen Yi, if Chen Yi accepts him, he will be able to establish a firm footing in this area and start expanding his family business.

"Daoist Wu, this Land Ginseng Fruit isn't cheap. I don't take things for free, let me share a piece of news with you.

Your action against Ma Huantian this time coincides with the intentions of the Fairy Ma next door. She did what she didn't want to,"

"Take this opportunity, you might have a chance to buy a mid-stage foundation establishment puppet from Fairy Ma, whether she has it or not depends on your luck, but you should know what to do."

"Great! Thanks to Doctor Chen!"

Wu Cong's eyes lit up, his excited expression looked a bit terrifying because of the long scar on his face.

He bowed his fist to Chen Yi, then temporarily left for next door.

Ma Xiaoqiu made an exception to meet him and poured him a cup of tea.

Gratefully, Wu Cong thanked her and brought thank you gifts, a second-tier beauty-preserving pill,

This made Ma Xiaoqiu quite happy.

Then Wu Cong apologized for inadvertently hurting Ma Huantian and promised to be more careful in the future.

Ma Xiaoqiu nodded calmly, replying: "Ma Huantian was a genius in the Ma family when he was young, aside from his poor character, he also has some talent in alchemy. Even now, after many years without practicing, he can still maintain a first-tier, mid-grade alchemist level,
