Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 415 - 203: Investigating the Case at the Scene

"Of course, it took me several months to finish drawing the Talisman Scrolls given to me by Tan Feng. Now, I'm a bit worried because I can't seem to sell these Breaking Prohibition Talismans in my hand,"

Ah, I lost some business on this deal."

Chen Yi added an explanation,

Wu Cong intuitively felt that this matter couldn't be separated from Chen Yi, but he had no evidence,

In the end, he decided not to dwell on it. If Chen Yi really did it, that would mean Chen Yi's power is at least equal to the Pseudo-core stage,

The stronger he is, the more prospects he could offer Wu Cong.

With this in mind, Wu Cong mentioned the reason he was visiting Chen Yi:

"Doctor Chen, a friend and I have gathered the materials for a Foundation Establishment Pill and we would like to arrange a time to discuss the option for you to make it."

"Oh?" Chen Yi was doubtful. It seemed that Wu Cong had indeed been busy in recent years,

"What's the main material?"

"The main material is a Demon Core from a pure-blooded Fire Fox. We want to make a Fire Attribute Foundation Establishment Pill... may I ask…?"

Wu Cong wanted to ask about Chen Yi's success rate in making this kind of pill, but he found it hard to put the words out.

"Oh, it's a Demon Core, that's something I'm relatively familiar with.

There's more than a fifty percent chance of making a Foundation Establishment Pill,

And a thirty percent chance of making two pills.

As for the quality of the pills, it depends on the materials you provide."

"Great! That's enough!

Doctor Chen, if a single pill is made, your fee is 1,000 spirit stones. If two pills are made, the fee is 2,000 spirit stones. And in case three pills are made, the fee will be 3,000 spirit stones."

This is the industry's rule, Wu Cong clarified, meaning to settle accounts clearly.

Chen Yi nodded in agreement. One or two thousand spirit stones is not a small amount for an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator,

Plus, this was a stable source of income. Once he established his reputation, it would be a never-ending source of spirit stones,

Making one deal a year would cover the rent for this mountain, which was not a small amount.

Wu Cong reported some other matters to Chen Yi before leaving.

After he left, Chen Yi began to formally sort out the gains from this journey, as well as reflect on his mistakes.

"This trip ended my grudges with Yang Dan, resolving a lingering issue from the past,

At the same time, I gained a Genuine Crystallisation Pill, a Talisman Treasure, a Quasi-third tier Wolf Puppet, and a Quasi-Magic Weapon, the Ice Shadow Knife."

These gains, including the Crystallisation Pill, are worth more than 100,000 spirit stones.

This was the biggest harvest Chen Yi had ever had since entering the Cultivation World,

Especially the Genuine Crystallisation Pill, with it, Chen Yi just needs to follow the cultivation steps to reach the peak of Foundation Establishment, then he could try to form the Core, and the Core he formed is likely to be a True Core."

This is already one of the top tens among the hundreds of thousands of cultivators in the Ten Thousand Islands Alliance.

As for the other items, apart from the Puppet and the Ice Shadow Knife, Chen Yi only needs to be a little careful when using them, making sure no one who sees them lives to tell the tale.

In short, this was a fruitful mission.

Of course, there were also considerable risks this time,

Acting as Tan Feng, especially the attitude shift towards Yang Dan, becoming calm and not acting like a sycophant anymore, could arouse suspicion,

However, the Three-colored mask could mimic the mana fluctuations and divine sense state of others, and Chen Yi also learned some of Tan Feng's past behaviors and speech patterns through fragments of Tan Feng's memory,

Even though he didn't make an appearance for long, overall, he should have been able to fool them."

Even if someone eventually suspects anything, they would be searching among cultivators at the peak stage of Foundation Establishment,

A mere middle-stage Foundation Establishment like Chen Yi should be safe."

Upon Tan Feng's death, his time of death, the state of his body, and the nearby battle situation all matched up, and the only cultivator who appeared nearby was Zhao Jingwu,

No matter what, Zhao Jingwu couldn't clear his suspicion. As long as Zhao Jingwu is alive for one day, Tan Feng's death would be attributed to him."

...

Chen Yi was in a good mood and had a rare exchange with Liu Emei about cultivation experience,

The last time, Liu Emei's strength demonstrated during the battle surprised Chen Yi,

He seemed to have neglected this little maidservant by his side,

She somehow improved to this extent unnoticed. Chen Yi wondered when she started to cultivate quietly.

If this progress continues, Liu Emei will definitely reach the threshold of Core Formation before Chen Yi,

But now, Chen Yi only has one Crystallisation Pill, which is a bit troublesome,

It would be nice if he could get another Crystallisation Pill, even a substandard one would do. With Liu Emei's Precious body talent and her solid foundation, she might have a chance to form a golden core.

If the two could dual cultivate during the Core Formation process, using the Ancient Secret Skill as the foundation, the quality of their cores could possibly be even higher."

However, the conditions for this are extremely demanding. It would be best to have fourth-tier spiritual veins as support, as well as a considerable amount of spirit objects and treasures to aid. Right now, Chen Yi doesn't have any leads, he can only keep this in mind while slowly seeking opportunities.

Chen Yi gave Liu Emei some tips on how to disguise her cultivation level,

He also inquired about Liu Emei's recent life, and whether she has any understanding of male and female relationships,

Liu Emei, happy in thinking that Brother Chen was going to take her in, was only left with a Jade Slip in the end,

On it, were records of notes to pay attention to when the Chilling Essence Treasure Body releases the Cold Jade Essence for the first time, as well as a special Core Formation Secret Skill.
