Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 397 - 194: Looking back at Mount Yue, Surrounding the Yang Family

In this battle, the biggest surprise to Chen Yi was Liu Emei's combat prowess.

He always protected Liu Emei well, yet he did not realize that her real strength was not much weaker than his own.

This made him feel quite relieved,

However, he still sternly told Liu Emei when they returned home that she was not allowed to show her power without permission.

This order would remain in effect until she achieved the golden core.

Liu Emei was displeased but had no choice but to agree, knowing Chen Yi's cautious nature and not wanting to cause him any trouble.

Moreover, as Tan Feng had said, her personality had become very similar to Chen Yi's over the years she had spent with him,

She preferred to keep a low profile, and it would be best if she could remain at the Little Cold Peak for cultivation,

However, now that her cultivation level was almost at the peak of the Qi Cultivation, she should start planning for the Core Formation.

...

After sorting out these matters, Chen Yi opened Tan Feng's storage bag.

There wasn't much inside,

but there was one item that gave Chen Yi a huge surprise.

"Is this a... Substandard Crystallisation Pill?"

It seemed that the level B information from the Blood Shadow Tower was indeed accurate,

Tan Feng did have a Crystallisation Pill, albeit it had only seven pill lines making it a substandard one.

However, this thing was also worth tens of thousands of Spirit Stones!

For any Qi Cultivating cultivator in the late stage, it is a great temptation,

Even for more than ninety-nine percent of the Immortal Cultivation families in the Ten Thousand Islands Alliance, a Substandard Crystallisation Pill is their golden key to the next level.

Chen Yi didn't expect that he would obtain the Crystallisation Pill so easily,

He was just starting to prepare to collect the ingredients for the Core Formation Pill.

Relying on the solid foundation established by the Turtle Breath Magical Power Chen Yi has over 70% confidence in successfully forming the Core and more than 50% confidence in achieving the True Core.

This is indeed a True Core Great Cultivator, with a slight chance of reaching the peak of Core Formation and looking to the Nascent Soul,

You should know that among hundreds of thousands of cultivators in the entire Ten Thousand Islands Alliance, the number of True Core Cultivators has not even reached three digits.

Also, with Liu Emei's ice essence, Chen Yi has more than 90% confidence to form a True Core with this Substandard Foundation Establishment Pill!

If Liu Emei's ice essence is transformed into ice crystals under Chen Yi's special cultivation techniques,

Then Chen Yi even has a 20% chance to form a Golden Core!

The number of Golden Cores in the Ten Thousand Islands Alliance is currently less than five,

Furthermore, although not every Golden Core can successfully form a Nascent Soul, nearly 99% of Nascent Souls are Golden Cores.

Also, this world has already lost the comprehension of the laws, but Chen Yi has this advantage,

If Chen Yi could form a Golden Core, his chances of forming a Nascent Soul would be much higher than those of other Golden Cores.

Moreover, after reaching the Core Formation Stage, there wouldn't be any significant limitations from spiritual roots,

Whether one has three or just a single spiritual root affects the foundation of mana during the Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment periods. But, while looking toward the Nascent Soul in the Core Formation stage, every step of progress is greatly fortuitous,

and it does not greatly relate to inherent cultivation talent.

In short, with this Substandard Crystallisation Pill, Chen Yi simply needs to cultivate at a low profile until the peak of Foundation Establishment, and then he can try to form the core at any Third Tier spiritual vein.

However, Chen Yi still has one thing left to do.

Tan Feng had been disabled by Chen Yi, but another enemy, Yang Dan, needed to dealt with.

In the next two years, Chen Yi primarily focused on practicing the Vajra Sutra,

Two years ago, his marrow refining progress was almost perfect,

These years, he had almost consumed the stalactite milk he had obtained earlier,

His Golden Body cultivation was now almost covering his whole body,

In these two years, Chen Yi finally completed the ultimate peak of the sixth layer of Body Refining and of the Golden Body,

Chen Yi's Body Refining Cultivation had officially reached the peak of Foundation Establishment, and the Golden Body was now covering his entire body,

All he needed now was a great opportunity to try to merge the five refinements into one, the Pill Force, to achieve the Body Refining Nascent Soul, and become a Third Tier Body Cultivator,

Chen Yi's physical strength had reached the limit of the second tier, and a force below the third tier could no longer harm him.

Even when confronted with ordinary third-tier powers, Chen Yi had a great chance to escape, especially when exposed to Magic Attacks. His golden body had very robust defenses,

He could resist at least 50% of the damage caused by magic attacks. Of course, the specific situation depends on the level of the opponent's magic and attribute bias, and it's not as simple as a simple number can describe.

In summary, now, Chen Yi has the strength to fight against any ordinary Pseudo-core True Person. If he unleashes his Wave Stacking Strength, he can overpower them with a single punch,

Even against a True Core Stage cultivator, he would be able to hold his own,

Of course, when facing those at the early stages of True Core, or a Golden Core, Chen Yi would still choose to run as far away as possible.

With this powerful physique, he was ready to head towards Wangyue Island.

In these two years, Chen Yi had been observing the external situation. He occasionally posed as other identities to visit the big cities nearby to buy some important information from the Blood Shadow Tower.

The death of the old man who was always with Tan Feng attracted no attention given the backdrop of cultivators enthusiastically battling Demon Beasts,

Even the fact that Tan Feng had not appeared for two years caused no waves at all,

For a cultivator, it was not unusual to retreat for a few years,

Furthermore, Tan Feng had just obtained a Substandard Crystallisation Pill - it would be normal for him to retreat to adjust his condition and prepare to break through to the Core Formation.

On the other hand,

Chen Yi, using the Three-colored mask, captured a part of Tan Feng's Dantian Mana and some of Tan Feng's Divine Sense Fragments.

Now, when Chen Yi wears the Three-colored mask, he can fully transform into Tan Feng. The mana fluctuations he emits are exactly the same as the fire attribute second-tier peak mana that Tan Feng practiced.
