Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 382 - 187: Ling Jingjing Visiting

Wu Cong was ruthless, but Ma Huantian's fate had nothing to do with Chen Yi, so he wouldn't pay much attention to it.

On the other hand, Ma Xiaoqiu, the girl next door, often went out over the past two years. However, every time she came back, she would occasionally interact with Chen Yi and Liu Emei,

Even though she had lost her memory for over a decade, because Chen Yi was such a gentle and easygoing person, and both Liu Emei and Ma Xiaoqiu were somewhat aloof,

Ma Xiaoqiu began to grow close to Chen and Liu.

In the coming days, Chen Yi would spend most of his time drawing symbols, refining pills, body cultivation, and Qi cultivation,

With a steady supply of stalactite milk, Chen Yi's Body Refining Cultivation continued to improve. He estimated that he would reach the stage of refining marrow to perfection in less than ten years,

and achieving Golden Body Coverage should take around ten more years as well.

Chen Yi decided that regardless of the changing circumstances outside, he would remain in seclusion to cultivate and avoid unnecessary trouble,

of course, except in the case of Tan Feng and Yang Dan,

as they both harbored grudges against Chen Yi. Until he settled these conflicts, he would not be at peace. Therefore, he kept a close eye on them.

Yet, for now, he didn't have the opportunity to confront Tan Feng and Yang Dan.

One day, two distinguished guests visited Xiao Qiu Peak next door.

The sect leader of the Cold Sword Gate, a Core Formation Sword Cultivator named Ling Baofeng, personally paid a visit, accompanied by an extremely beautiful woman,

Ma Xiaoqiu, having received the news, went out to meet them early.

"Fairy Ling, this is the cave mansion of Puppet Master Ma. Please come in."

Ling Baofeng, with his sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, appeared to be in his thirties. He involuntarily emanated an icy sword aura that was somewhat piercing to Ma Xiaoqiu's gaze.

Ma Xiaoqiu had met Ling Baofeng before. At that time, he had completely concealed his sword intent and carried the demeanor of being approachable yet aloof,

but now, in front of Fairy Ling, he was like a peacock spreading its feathers, showcasing the strength of his cultivation level and the sharpness of his sword Qi to the fullest...

Ah, male cultivators.

Meanwhile, Fairy Ling wore a congenial smile, showing no particular warmth towards Ling Baofeng's enthusiasm. Instead, she seems to take a liking to introverted Ma Xiaoqiu,

She took a few steps forward and called out with a smile:

"You must be Sister Ma. You are really good-looking~

I've heard a lot about you. Despite being in the later stages of Foundation Establishment, you have a Quasi-third tier puppet master's ability. It's really rare~"

Fairy Ling's expression and tone seemed genuine. Even though it was their first meeting, and she was overly familiar, it didn't make Ma Xiaoqiu feel disgusted,

Moreover, as just a late stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, she had to show proper respect towards the two Core Formation Cultivators.

She warmly invited the two into her cave mansion, personally brewed some tea,

and then inquired about the purpose of their visit.

It turned out that Fairy Ling brought over a large flying puppet, parts of which were damaged. If she wanted to return to her sect for repairs, the journey would be too long and costly.

Therefore, she wished to hire a Third Tier Puppet Master from the Ten Thousand Islands Alliance to help with the repairs. Yet, the two renowned Third Tier puppet masters in the Alliance were not available in recent years,

and coincidentally, the sect leader of the Cold Sword Gate, passed on that they had a highly talented Quasi-third tier Puppet Master within their foothold, who could possibly meet Fairy Ling's needs,

so, Fairy Ling decided to come and have a look.

Ma Xiaoqiu didn't immediately agree. Firstly, she inspected the flying puppet, then she concluded that she was 90% confident of being able to repair it. And through the process of repairing, she could also learn the main design concept behind the puppet, which would be greatly beneficial to her,

Then, she spoke up:

"I have only 60% confidence in repairing it, and the materials required for repair must match the original materials of the puppet."

After she finished speaking, Ma Xiaoqiu was a bit taken aback. She was clearly 90% confident in her ability to repair it, yet she said she only had 60% confidence. She had never done this before. Who did she learn this from?

"A 60% chance is also worth a try, and I have all the materials for the repair right here, so you don't have to worry, Sister Xiaoqiu. How are you charging for the repairs?"

Fairy Ling readily agreed.

"We don't need to bother with spirit stones for the repair cost. Due to my cultivation method, I have lost memories of over a decade. I wonder does Fairy Ling have a spirit object that could restore one's soul?"

"Oh? As luck would have it, I do have a bottle of Soul Nourishing Liquid. Its market price exceeds ten thousand spirit stones. Although it can't fully restore all your lost memories, it can provide significant help. I'll give this bottle of Soul Nourishing Liquid to you first, and consider it as the payment for the puppet repair."

"Thank you, Sister Ling, I will certainly do my best."

After Fairy Ling handed over the Soul Nourishing Liquid to Ma Xiaoqiu, she then prepared to leave.

Ling Baofeng attempted to hold her back several times, inviting Fairy Ling to his own residence for a visit, but was politely declined,

Ling Baofeng appeared anxious,

"Fairy, there's another Daoist Field. There's this great master who specializes in pills, medicine, and symbols. He is an odd man, would you like to purchase any pills or the like from him?"

"Oh? A master of refining pills, medicine, and symbols? What's his level of skill?"

"From what I understand, he should be about Second Tier mid-level."

"Then forget it, pills and symbols of this level are not much use to me."

"All right, it's such a pity. Chen Yi was quite famous in this area before. Everybody used to call him the turtle doctor. It seems he won't have the chance to meet Fairy Ling in person."

"Huh? Turtle doctor, Chen Yi? I've heard of him. Apparently, the Gold Body Pills that he refines are quite effective. Let's go and have a look."

Fifteen minutes later,

At Little Cold Peak, Chen Yi greeted the two esteemed guests with tea. Liu Emei had been sent off to hide in the seclusion array.

Chen Yi, who had lived on the Little Cold Peak of the Cold Sword Gate for over twenty years, was meeting the sect leader, Ling Baofeng, for the first time,
