Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 384 - 188: The Outbreak of the Beast Wave

"Of course, we're just ordinary neighbors."

Chen Yi replied without hesitation.

"But, in my memory, it seems like I had a closer relationship with Daoist Chen? Not only is Daoist Chen my physician, but it seems like I also shared detailed information about exploring the Secret Realm with you?"

Chen Yi waved his hand in denial: "I did help Fairy Ma with her medical treatment, but those fees have already been paid.

As for the Secret Realm and our close relationship you mentioned, there's no such thing.

Fairy Ma, you've recently suffered from memory loss, and it's normal for some confusion to appear in your memory. Don't obsess over the past, looking forward is what matters.

Your eighth transformation is already completed, and your ninth transformation is in just over twenty years. I suggest you prepare in advance.

Thinking too much about other matters won't benefit you."

"But the matter of the Secret Realm directly impacts whether I can make it through the last transformation!"

Ma Xiaoqiu was helpless. Chen Yi clearly didn't want to acknowledge their past relationship, but what mattered to her was that

if he also refused to go to the Secret Realm with her, she may not survive her ninth transformation.

Ma Xiaoqiu, you had no shame when you said you wanted a child back then!

With her face burning hot, Ma Xiaoqiu left Chen Yi's Cave Mansion.

...

Two years later, the Beast Wave erupted,

countless first and second tier Demon Beasts broke out of the Demon Territory, urged on by higher ranks, they automatically headed towards human cultivators' inhabited areas rich in spiritual energy to kill.

However, their breakout from the Demon Territory greatly exceeded the expectations of most cultivators in the Ten Thousand Islands Alliance.

They didn't break out from the places near Qinglong Island where the exits from the Demon Territory were most numerous.

Instead, the Demon Beasts made a big circle inside the Demon Territory and broke out from a hidden exit on the east side of the Ten Thousand Islands Alliance, near Wangyue Island.

This sudden change

caught the pre-prepared cultivator hunting teams off guard.

The various hunting teams who heard the news, both those officially organized and those set up by various families, powers, and Loose Cultivator Alliance,

all rushed from Qinglong Island to Wangyue Island at the first possible moment,

but even at their fastest, the main forces took three to five months to travel.

So, during this brief three to five month time gap, Wangyue Island had to hold out on its own,

but Wangyue Island was just a major trade giant island with its regular official combat cultivator team led by Wang Tengfei composed of just a few dozen cultivators.

Facing hundreds or even thousands of Demon Beasts that appeared all of a sudden, especially those from water and the air,

Wangyue Island lacked fundamental defensive methods.

So, the Yang Family, who controlled the resources of Wangyue City, had to stand out.

Other cultivators could abandon their resources and run for their lives,

but the Demon Beasts' aim was to occupy high-grade spiritual veins,

Wangyue City's third-tier spiritual vein was the frontline target of the Demon Beasts,

and the Yang Family couldn't hide.

"Those six months were very tough for the Yang Family."

"Many of the Yang Family's followers and disciples suffered heavy losses in the battle against the Demon Beasts.

Even the Core Formation elder of the Yang Family came out to fight with two third-tier Great Monsters, resulting in heavy losses."

"Fortunately, the Yang Family has accumulated a large amount of spirit stones over the years. This time they spent a lot of spirit stones and temporarily recruited many cultivators, barely withstanding the Demon Beasts' attack for the first few months,

What's more, True Person Chengji from Qinglong Island arrived in Wangyue City early and, combined with the elder from the Tan Family, they ambushed and killed a third-tier Demon Beast, which made the second third-tier Demon Beast dare not attack rashly,

leaving only second-tier or lower Demon Beasts. Although their numbers were large, Wangyue Island was financially strong,

Wangyue Island is still under cultivators control at present."

"Now, the large cultivator team that came to support from Qinglong Island has finally arrived and the pressure on Wangyue City has suddenly decreased.

Human cultivators have just barely managed to take back control of several main navigation routes around Wangyue Island,

and it's only then that I, Old Wu, have had a chance to visit Little Cold Peak."

This was the news brought by Wu Cong to Chen Yi half a year after the Beast Wave broke out.

Although Little Cold Peak is also within tens of thousands of miles from Wangyue Island, its overall location is to the far north and is within the sphere of influence of the Cold Sword Gate,

so for all this time since the Beast Wave broke out, Chen Yi hasn't seen a single Demon Beast attack.

And Chen Yi's reaction after experiencing the real outbreak of the Beast Wave was that more Foundation Establishment cultivators around him were coming to buy second-tier talisman scrolls and pills,

Chen Yi did not hoard them and refused to sell, but he only sold a very small quantity, with everyone being restricted in how much they could buy.

Only when cultivators from the Cold Sword Gate came to buy, did Chen Yi sell a bit more,

but the average price also increased by more than fifty percent.

Now is not the peak sales period for pill talismans, Chen Yi isn't in a hurry to sell a large quantity.

"Doctor Chen, I've had a few dangerous encounters with Demon Beasts this time and thanks to the Nine Zhi Pill you gave me, I was able to break through to mid-stage Foundation Establishment and barely survive.

I am so grateful to you!

These are the materials you wanted to purchase in this batch,

due to the outbreak of the Beast Wave, all the prices involving parts of Demon Beasts in your material catalogue have dropped by about fifty percent,

so this time, the total number of materials is roughly thirty percent more than what you pre-ordered."

Chen Yi took the Storage Bag, and after scanning it with his Divine Sense, his eyes lit up,

the materials had dropped in price, he got thirty percent more material in this round, effectively saving three thousand spirit stones,

he earned another sum!

With the outbreak of the Beast Wave, cultivator fighters didn't have to venture deep into the Demon Territory to hunt Demon Beasts, so obtaining materials from Demon Beasts became much easier,

in addition, there were so many Demon Beasts, even cultivators who don't usually venture deep into the Demon Territory could use Array Method and traps to passively kill Demon Beasts.
