Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World-Chapter 56 - 53 I’m the Oldest, I Eat First

Just as Chen Yi was about to raise his hand, he heard the other party invite him in. This made him shiver inside,

This person is an expert!

No, that's not right. He is already a Body Cultivator of the First Layer. Despite his amplified five senses, he could only tell if someone was outside the door and not see who was knocking.

Unless, the other party was a cultivator who practiced Qi Cultivation and had the ability to see through magic!

Having this suspicion made Chen Yi even more cautious.

He pushed the door open to notice the spacious courtyard, filled with miscellaneous items. To the east, there were shelves lined with various dried plants, and to the west, there were various animal bones and organs.

An old man with white hair and a white beard was in front of a stove, studying something.

Chen Yi greeted the elder politely, "I apologize for disturbing you, Elder Liu. I'm Chen Yi, and I would like to buy some medicinal materials."

"Hmm, a Body Cultivator, huh. What would you like to buy? Tell me." The old man glanced at Chen Yi, then lowered his head to continue his work.

"Century-old Ginseng, Tiger Bone..." Chen Yi named a few more essential ingredients.

"Eh? A formulation to replenish vitality and blood, strengthen bones, and promote muscle growth with wood as the primary element, fire as the secondary, and metal as the tertiary,

Wow! It's impressive!

These ingredients combined could constitute a potent medicinal formula for enhancing vitality and strengthening bones.

Young man, where did you get this formulation?"

Elder Liu was able to deduce the functions of the Bone Strengthening Powder from just a few primary ingredients. His skills were truly impressive, and it seemed that there is no such formulation for enhancing vitality and blood in this world?

Indeed, the Body Cultivators in this world rarely follow the path of increasing vitality and blood.

After a moment's consideration, Chen Yi replied, "It was passed down from my ancestors on the mainland."

"Oh~, no wonder. It's a good formula, but we don't have the ingredients you want on this island. However, there are alternatives. Tell me more details about each ingredient, and I'll make a similar formulation for you.

By the way, if we follow the age of the medicinal materials you mentioned, the effect will be too powerful and unbearable for people above the Second Layer of Body Cultivation. Young man, are you sure you haven't misremembered the age?"

At these words, Chen Yi also realized the significant difference between the two worlds. The potency of a century-old ginseng should differ by several multiples,

He tentatively suggested, "Then how about halving the potency of all the medicinal materials?"

Looking at Chen Yi again, the old man still shook his head, "Still not suitable for the First Layer of Body Cultivation. Reduce it to 20%!"

"Well, I'll give you a catalogue for each substitute medicinal material. The medicinal properties, intensity, and side effects are all clearly written. Pick suitable ones for you, tell me how much money you have, and I'll adjust the age and the amount of the medicine for you."

Saying this, Elder Liu handed a book to Chen Yi, and continued, "The first five kinds on the third page can replace Ginseng, the 3rd to 6th kinds on the twelfth page can replace Tiger Bone, the..."

Chen Yi looked through each one. He hadn't heard of any of the medicinal materials listed here before. However, based on the notes recorded, they should be accurate,

He continued to read through, learning about the characteristics of the creatures in this Spiritual Energy World, a world he was not familiar with.

Meanwhile, the taller and shorter men behind him could barely stand any longer,

"Big brother, I'm hungry..."

Thwack! "Endure it!"

"Um, senior, we've led you here, can we leave now?" The short sturdy youth carefully reminded Chen Yi, fearing that Chen Yi had forgotten about them.

"Endure it!" Chen Yi coldly replied. These two would still be useful later. They had mentioned earlier about wanting him to consume some medicine; he would need someone to test the new medicine he concocted.

After a quarter of an hour, Chen Yi selected several alternative plans and asked Elder Liu about the efficacy and toxicity of each.

The elder patiently answered each question.

In the end, Chen Yi chose a formula with Tiger Whale Bone, Flame Flower, and the blood of the Red-Blooded Black Carp as the main ingredients.

"Elder Liu, I only brought 100 taels of silver, how about it?"

"Oh, then I can prepare two pills with 20% of the original formula's effect for you.

"Kid, I'm a regular customer, you don't have to worry too much. It seems you're also a cultivator. When you have made enough money, come find me again.

Those two scoundrels can testify, I've been running this pharmacy on the 32nd island for over 20 years, all my customers are repeat customers and I never cheat anyone."

Chen Yi looked back at the two men. The two nod their heads like pounding garlic.

Thinking for a while, Chen Yi agrees and hands the money to the old man.

The old man stretched out his hand and beckoned. Whoosh, a few medicinal materials flew directly into his hand.

At the same time, a palm-sized Red-Blooded Black Carp flew out of the fish tank. The old man's hand suddenly drew a small knife, cutting lightly across the red line around the carp's waist.

Shush~

A red line shot out, Chen Yi carefully counted, about ten drops of red blood.

After these drops of blood were expelled, the carp went limp, the red line around its waist disappeared, and the old man carelessly threw it into the doghouse in the corner of the courtyard. A large black dog extended its head and bit into the little carp.

Chen Yi watched, his heart aching.

"Hehe, kid, the most valuable thing on this Red-Blooded Black Carp is the demon blood. Your prescription requires this little fish, it's more than enough.

If one day you want to attempt to break through the major realm of body cultivators, you can try using the blood of the Fish King as a medication guide,

As long as your body can take it, I promise you'll make a huge gain."

Chen Yi pondered. So, the main purpose of eating this tiny fish was for those few drops of blood?

And if this fish is used as a medicinal guide, it seems to have a bigger role?

Well, let's wait till after testing the medicine to decide.

Next, Elder Liu quickly processed several medicinal materials and placed them on the medicine stove. He brought his two fingers together and pointed forward, a bright yellow flame rose up under the pot, instantly spreading a medicinal fragrance.

Now Chen Yi was sure, this old fellow in front of him was a Qi Refining Cultivator, he just didn't know which layer.

I heard cultivators all lived in the Spiritual mist area. There's not much spiritual energy on this side in the mortal world.

This old man… oh, he researches medicine, so that's fine.

When did a pharmacist ever lack their own cultivation resources?

After a while, the tall man behind Chen Yi's stomach rumbled a couple of times,

The old man took two fingernail-sized pills from the medicine cauldron and sent them flying towards Chen Yi,

"That's it, a one hundred taels worth of stuff doesn't deserve to be held in a porcelain bottle.

Kid, a pill is enough for you to consume over five days. If you eat too much and your body explodes, don't blame me for not warning you."

"Thank you, Elder Liu, if the pill works well, the Chen Family will come to express our gratitude!"

Chen Yi said courteously.

"Humph, you're a cunning kid, but no need to threaten me. I'm over 140 years old, I'm nearing my death and just want to hide here and research pills for a few more years, I have no intention of making enemies.

As for how good this medicine really is, you'll know once you take it. Just don't take too much, it can definitely enhance your Vitality and Blood and strengthen your bones in a way that you can't imagine!"

Chen Yi thanked him again, then left with the two goons.

"Big brother, I'm about to starve…" The tall man murmured softly to his older brother again.

"You're hungry? In that case, try this, it's a great tonic!"

Chen Yi lightly scraped a sesame-sized spot from the pill and handed it to the tall man,

Just as the tall man was about to agree, his short older brother stepped in, pulling him behind, ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Then he said to Chen Yi: "I'm the big brother, I'll eat."
