Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 417 - 204: Leaving a Way Out

"Hmph! I don't care about your disgusting behavior of the Ten Thousand Islands Alliance, but the talisman master XiaoChen is someone I have my eyes on, you can't touch him."

Ling Jingjing flew over in a white dress alone, her spiritual pressure covering the two True Cores, preventing the two, who were about to salute, from moving recklessly,

Especially True Person Chengji, who felt Ling Jingjing's targeted intention, and a bead of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Greetings to True Person Ling."

Chen Yi saluted Ling Jingjing who arrived, feeling a bit of affection for this woman, but immediately extinguished it.

Ling Jingjing had spoken on his behalf at a critical time, saving himself,

But he didn't know what her real purpose was,

Or maybe Ling Jingjing and True Person Chengji had planned it together, enabling Chen Yi to feel grateful by creating an illusion of conflict—saving him while threatening him—to achieve some kind of goal.

However, these are just Chen Yi's conjectures, the real reasons would only be known afterwards,

At this time, Chen Yi could not fake the gratitude he felt for Ling Jingjing on his face,

"Junior thanks True Person Ling."

"Hmph, no need to thank me. How are the talismans and pills I asked you to customize for me?"

Ling Jingjing sat on the spot originally prepared for her by Chen Yi, sipping the Spirit Tea,

"Huh, the Spirit Tea from Spirit Mist Marsh isn't bad."

After she finished speaking, she suddenly withdrew her spiritual pressure, and the two True Persons felt a lightness on their bodies, then they awkwardly smiled and sat down.

"Hehe, fairy, if you like this tea, XiaoChen will wrap up a few pounds for you later. Isn't that right, XiaoChen?"

Chen Yi twitched at the corner of his mouth, a few pounds?

This was a top-tier second-tier Spirit Tea that he made by frying a bunch of second-tier spirit objects scrap and using second-tier White Mist Maojian as a base, which cost around 100 spirit stones per two, and you just asked for a few pounds?

Chen Yi was cursing in his heart.

"Daoist Ling, you sure know how to give away other people's generosity as gifts, do you think this tea doesn't require spirit stones?

XiaoChen, don't listen to him, I just wanted to try something fresh, not because we are lacking good things in Xuantian Continent."

Ling Jingjing ridiculed Ling Baofeng again, shielding Chen Yi.

Chen Yi became more alert in his heart, this woman, wasn't she targeting me?

"Many thanks for the senior's preference. This Spirit Tea is produced by the junior, and there are not a few pounds remaining, there are two tael left that are unopened. The junior will pack it for you later.

Also, the talismans and pills you asked the junior to customize last time are ready,

They are all here, please take a look."

Chen Yi handed over a small storage bag from the air, which was specifically filled with the talismans and pills he had prepared for Ling Jingjing.

Ling Jingjing happily nodded, received it, and casually pulled out a few talismans and pills to inspect:

"Oh? There are top-quality ones? Interesting.

XiaoChen, have your talisman and pill skills reached the top of the second tier?"

Ling Jingjing looked at Chen Yi in surprise.

The other two also wanted to release their divine senses to investigate, but Ling Jingjing's eyes flashed, and she blocked them.

The two were speechless.

Chen Yi slightly bowed in a salute and replied:

"In respond to True Person, the junior has not yet produced second-tier top-quality talisman scrolls and pills, but he believes that if all kinds of materials are enough for him to practice on,

the junior has the confidence that he can refine a top quality within thirty years!"

Oh?

Ling Jingjing looked at Chen Yi for a while, her appreciation unabashed.

A dual-class alchemist and talisman master at the top of the second tier was regarded as a valuable talent to be cultivated even in a famous sect,

What's more, Chen Yi was just a Loose Cultivator, and he had grown to this level relying solely on his mixed bag of chances and his own exploration.

Even Ling Baofeng and True Person Chengji looked at Chen Yi differently,

They thought he was just a turtle talisman master, but they had not expected his talents in both talisman and alchemy were quite outstanding,

For both talisman and alchemy, there is a stark contrast between the entry level of the second-tier and the top of the second-tier,

Entry into the second tier simply means that ones spiritual power level has barely reached the second tier, which is not considered difficult,

But reaching the top of the second tier means that one has reached a certain height in terms of the application, transformation, and processing of spiritual power, and developed his own understanding,

They have experienced it themselves, this ability is often the stepping stone to the third tier.

If they could recruit him and cultivate him a bit, as long as his cultivation level could reach the Pseudo-core, there is a chance that both his talisman and alchemy skills could step into the third tier.

And the combined number of third-tier talisman masters and alchemists in the entire Ten Thousand Islands Alliance could be counted with two hands!

"A talented one indeed. XiaoChen, what is your current cultivation level?"

Ling Jingjing continued to ask.

"My main martial method is the Turtle Breathing Technique, which has a slow cultivation speed, and after nearly 40 years of Foundation Establishment, I barely entered the mid-Foundation Establishment period."

Chen Yi responded modestly.

"Tsk, only managing to cross the threshold of the mid-stage after 40 years, it indeed seems slow. Alas, the Turtle Breathing Technique, what a pity.

If you had a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation level at this moment, I could guarantee you a True Core!"

True Core?!

Chen Yi's eyes flashed with appropriate surprise and desire.

"But your fundamental mana is already set, and changing the martial method rashly comes with a significant cost. It's too costly if you want to achieve True Core.

Just follow me around from now on and when I return to the Xuantian Continent, I'll take you with me,

You'll serve as an outer disciple for alchemy and talisman in my Lingxiao Sect, I guarantee you to achieve Pseudo-core, how about that?"

Chen Yi did not expect that even in this way, Ling Jingjing was willing to extend an olive branch,

It seems that during this period of time, Ling Jingjing must have gained a deeper understanding of the effects of his talismans and pills,

Or could it be, this golden core female cultivator could see something that others couldn't?

Chen Yi became a bit suspicious,

Golden Core is different from True Core and Pseudo-core, the ability to condense into a golden core is closer to the Great Path,

Through the talismans and pills produced by Chen Yi, to perceive different things, is also normal.
