Chapter 126 Thunder Ox and Fire Phoenix, True Spirit Bloodline
As Chen Yi's cultivation level deepened, the outlines of one or two thunder spirit runes gradually appeared on his internal organs' diaphragm.
Although the strokes of these runes are shallow, they contain pure lightning power, flickering slightly with each breath.
Chen Yi looked inward at himself, feeling the resonance between the runes and his flesh.
He was certain that as long as he persisted in his cultivation, he would one day be able to inscribe all thirty-six complete Thunder Spirit Runes into his body.
At that time, even if he can't control lightning, lightning of the same level as his physical body will no longer pose any threat to him.
It can even unleash a higher level of lightning spirit attack.
Or it could be mastering advanced techniques and supernatural abilities related to Thunder Spirit Body Forging.
Even now, he has only a basic grasp of a few lightning spirit runes.
Combining the Thunder Spirit Body Forging Technique with the other Five Elements Body Forging Techniques he had mastered,
He absorbed the spiritual energy within the lightning spirits through the system, transforming it into his understanding of lightning spirit body tempering.
He had already begun attempting to slowly condense the vast amount of stored lightning spirit power, much like golden crystals.
If one could condense a [Thunder Crystal] with energy equivalent to that of the Five Elements Body Forging Unit...
Chen Yi believed that, whether in physical training or combat...
The effects of this [Thunder Crystal] are probably all above the five elements of energy.
However, he has not succeeded yet.
Because the power of thunder spirit is far more violent than the power of the five elements, it is difficult to control.
The power of lightning is almost constantly in motion and bursting forth.
Condensing it into a solid, controllable lightning crystal is extremely difficult.
"Perhaps, once my Body Tempering Technique becomes stronger, and I have more Thunder Spirit Runes within my body, or after the system absorbs higher-level Thunder Spirit Essence, I may be able to condense a third-tier Thunder Crystal."
Chen Yi was neither discouraged nor anxious.
He would cultivate step by step as long as he could improve.
Every practice session, every day's growth, is visible to the naked eye.
That's good.
this night,
Chen Yi had just emerged from his cultivation practice.
I discovered that two guests had come to my private kitchen.
Both female cultivators were plain-looking, and Chen Yi had never seen them before.
However, Chen Yi was extremely familiar with the soul fluctuations and magical aura of one of the female cultivators.
No matter how much Qin Chengcheng disguised herself, her soul still possessed a wisp of the same origin as Chen Yi's divine consciousness.
With Chen Yi now possessing 500 strands of third-order divine sense, he could recognize him at a glance.
only,
Today, Qin Chengcheng looked completely different from anyone Chen Yi had ever seen before, and she brought a female guest with her.
The other party did not inform Chen Yi through telepathy, obviously because they did not intend to reveal their identity for some reason.
Chen Yi pretended not to know him.
Half an hour ago,
In Qin Chengcheng's boudoir, two pairs of long, white legs intertwined, as two top beauties from the cultivation world chatted idly.
"Sister Qiu, you shouldn't say that about Chen Yi. He's just a little timid. My identity is too special, so it's normal that he doesn't dare to accept me."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Li was furious.
"You're already the most beautiful Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Qi Kingdom's cultivation world, what is he still being picky about?!"
Even with all this, you're still defending him?!
Put on this mask, get dressed now, and come with me to his private kitchen.
Today you must listen to me completely and are not allowed to speak up for him again.
He's also forbidden from running errands for him anymore, like selling magnetic thunder beads at the Jade Dragon Sect.
I see that cook spending all his time studying material possessions. Even if those things are useful, are they as useful as cultivating one's own power?
"Come on, let's see how I teach him a lesson!"
"Have you two fairies come to order some spiritual food?"
Chen Yi greeted the two politely.
Before Qin Chengcheng, the ordinary-looking middle-aged woman, could even speak,
Another woman, who was less attractive, immediately began to scold:
"A fairy?"
You call us fairies just because we look like this? Do you call every woman you see a fairy?
"You're so glib and smooth-talking; you don't seem like a good man at all!"
Chen Yi was completely bewildered by the scolding. Since the other party had not revealed their identity, he decided not to tolerate it any longer.
"Feel sorry.
This is a private kitchen. If our guests require high-end ingredients, we welcome them.
"But if you've come looking for trouble, then I'm sorry, I have some connections with Zhao Tieshan, the law enforcement cultivator of Immortal City, and you're not welcome here!"
Chen Yi said with a serious expression.
"Who does Zhao Tieshan think he is? Go ask Zhou Zhenren, the royal family's immortal master, in the entire Qi Kingdom's Lake and Sea Immortal City, if he dares to kick me out?"
As they spoke, an incredibly powerful surge of magical energy, accompanied by a strong fluctuation of divine sense, emanated from them.
Chen Yi's early-stage second-tier magical power was like a small boat on a vast ocean, tossed about by the wind and rain, ready to capsize at any moment, compared to his opponent's strength.
The opponent's divine sense was incredibly powerful, even though Chen Yi used five hundred strands of third-order divine sense, all of which reached the strength of the Lesser Five Elements Divine Sense.
The point between his eyebrows, his ancestral aperture, was suddenly like a bubble in the wind, drifting aimlessly, even facing the danger of bursting at any moment.
Chen Yi was horrified.
This woman, could she be a prodigy from the Central Plains? Because in the Qi Kingdom, apart from a Core Formation cultivator, it's impossible for anyone to possess such powerful magic and divine sense.
This woman was clearly young, and regardless of whether she had reached the Core Formation stage, the magical power and spiritual awareness she displayed were terrifying.
At least, the eight most outstanding talents of Qi Kingdom among her peers were far inferior to her.
Fortunately, Chen Yi has now begun refining his body, making his physical body extremely resistant to magical power and divine sense.
Therefore, even though the other party was putting so much pressure on Chen Yi,
He stood ramrod straight, as if he were unmoved by any winds from any direction.
"Fellow Daoist, this private kitchen is not a place for fighting. If you wish to show off your power, please go elsewhere."
He believed that even the top geniuses from the state wouldn't dare to actually make a move in the sub-city of Immortal City; at most, they would just use their power to intimidate him.
Qiu Li was about to use her magic to deal with Chen Yi again when Qin Chengcheng quietly tugged at her sleeve from behind and whispered:
"Sister Qiu, that's enough~"
"Chengcheng, you're not exactly a weak person, so why are you protecting him when I stand up for you?"
"Oh dear, it's not that we can't fight here, it will attract the attention of the Immortal City."
Qin Chengcheng tried her best to defend herself.
Qiu Li gave a soft snort and squeezed Qin Chengcheng's hand hard, as a form of punishment for her lack of backbone.
Then she turned to look at Chen Yi, withdrawing her magic power and divine sense aura, and sized up this ordinary middle-aged male cultivator. She wondered what kind of magic he possessed that had captivated her beloved younger sister like this.
"Hmph. You've got some tough bones."
I wonder if your cooking skills are as amazing as your private chef claims.
"I'm sorry, fellow Daoist, this private chef does not serve impolite customers. You may not have the chance to taste my cooking skills."
Chen Yi looked indifferently at the door, gesturing for the other party to leave.
however,
When the ugly woman took out two items from her storage bag...
Chen Yi sensed the fluctuations emanating from it and his heart stirred.
One of the jars of essence blood emanated powerful lightning energy, while the other was an egg-shaped object containing a fire elemental aura that Chen Yi had never seen before in his life.
"Third-tier Thunder Bull essence blood, and a third-tier Fire Phoenix egg with a trace of true spirit bloodline."
"Are you really going to kick me out, you cook?"
The ugly woman glanced at Chen Yi sideways.
Chen Yi stared intently at the fluctuations emanating from the two spiritual materials, his eyes widening in disbelief.
He had never even heard of such a wonderful thing before; it was in no way inferior to Azure Dragon Jade.
When such a good thing is delivered to our doorstep, how can we let it pass us by?
"Ahem—, you jest, fairy. We're open for business, and everyone who comes is a guest."
Please sit down, fairy, let's talk slowly.
"What do you wish to make from these two precious ingredients, fairy?"
Such third-tier ingredients, especially those of mid-grade third-tier quality, are extremely rare to find in the Qi Kingdom.
The ugly woman in front of me with Qin Chengcheng, I wonder who she is, that she can come up with something like this.
There's no need to argue with them over a moment's pride.
Once Chen Yi gets his hands on this thing, he'll take at least half the fee. All the pure energy and high-level spirituality within will be at his disposal.
The boost to his strength that it brought might not be less than that from a piece of Azure Dragon Jade.
Therefore, Chen Yi chose to endure in the face of reality, turning his cold face into a smile.
On the other side, Qin Chengcheng couldn't help but laugh when she saw Chen Yi like this. This was the kind of scoundrel she knew. He would sacrifice his dignity for the sake of profit.
"Hmph, weren't you just being unwelcoming to me?"
What happened? You've changed your mind. I think you're just a greedy scoundrel!
but,
Whether you want to do it or not depends on whether you have the ability.
My requirement is,
The recipe for Thunder Ox Essence Blood Stewed with Fire Phoenix Eggs requires stewing third-tier thunder attribute essence blood with fire attribute phoenix eggs.
The finished product must retain both the power of thunder and the charm of phoenix rebirth, and must not use five-element harmonizing elixirs to neutralize attribute conflicts.
"Can you do it?"
Chen Yi frowned, took the two items Qiu Li took out, and opened them one by one.
Inside a jade bottle was a deep purple liquid essence blood, its surface crackling with purple electric arcs, containing a violent third-tier mid-grade lightning spirit power.
The other fire phoenix egg has a crimson shell covered with flame patterns, contains third-grade low-level spiritual power and higher spirituality, and contains a trace of true fire phoenix bloodline.
The Phoenix Egg is very ancient, not a recent product, but it still possesses third-grade low-level spiritual power and a higher level of spirituality.
Chen Yi estimated that if it were in its initial stage, it would probably have reached the upper-grade of the third rank, or even the peak of the third rank.
If an egg possesses this level of spirituality, one can imagine what kind of being the fire phoenix that it belongs to must be.
While it certainly cannot compare to the phoenix of true ancient legends, it at least possesses a trace of precious bloodline.
Having a trace of the bloodline of a True Spirit Beast is a terrifying talent that allows one to cultivate to the late Nascent Soul stage, or even surpass it!
Given Chen Yi's previous strength, he would definitely have been prepared to refuse such high-level ingredients.
However, with his current cultivation level, he might be able to try making third-tier spiritual food.
Even if he succeeds and gains fame, it will only benefit him.
After all, with his cultivation level, he wouldn't be too afraid of a little trouble.
The ingredients for these third-tier spiritual foods were all rare and precious treasures to him.
Especially with the current Fire Phoenix Egg, its spiritual energy is so abundant that even if Chen Yi used the system to absorb it, it would probably take him dozens of days to slowly absorb it completely.
If we let this thing go now that it's right in front of us, it would be such a waste!
Chen Yi frowned and observed these two things for a long time, relying on his second-tier peak cooking skills accumulated over the years.
He actually figured out a way to meet the other party's requirements:
"The fairy's request is too high, and I am powerless to fulfill it."
Unless one has a third-tier Xuanbing array spirit pot, the Yi Wood spirit charcoal provides a stable, slow-cooking process for the wood and green flames, and requires the use of metal-type condensed energy for stirring.
This is the only way to achieve a broth as thick as mercury without compromising the integrity of the egg.
"To truly retain the explosive power of thunder and lightning that retains the essence of the Thunder Bull's blood, and the spiritual essence of the Phoenix's rebirth."
Chen Yi then analyzed what he had in mind.
If he can make this dish, his culinary skills will probably officially reach the third level.
It's important to understand that once any skill reaches the third tier, its meaning no longer derives from its name.
Upon reaching the third tier, one is already capable of handling truly rare and precious materials.
At this stage, whether it's cooking or alchemy, the effects are roughly the same.
Both can provide a great elixir that is extremely helpful for cultivation.
Therefore, even in large immortal cities, third-tier master craftsmen are extremely sought after.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Li looked at Chen Yi with surprise:
"So you do have some culinary skills after all. Your method is correct."
This is an Ice Spirit Jade Pot, and this is spirit charcoal made from ten portions of third-tier Green Spirit Fruit Wood. You'll have to figure out how to condense the metal element energy yourself.
We'll come back to eat in twelve hours.
However, let's make it clear beforehand,
Since you're charging such a high price, you should charge me half the cost of the raw materials.
If you ruin my sacred dishes, I'll destroy your reputation!
Qiu Li snorted coldly, giving them a warning, and then left with Qin Chengcheng.
After leaving, Qin Chengcheng said worriedly:
"Sister Qiu, is Chen Yi's approach correct? Won't he fail?"
Qiu Li's lips curled up slightly. "His method is fine, and the spirit pot and spirit charcoal I gave him are also fine."
However, that phoenix egg was from five hundred years ago; it was originally a high-grade third-tier spirit egg.
Now, after being preserved for several hundred years, its spiritual power has decreased to the early stage of the third rank, but its spiritual essence probably still retains at least the level of the middle grade of the third rank.
Your little spirit chef isn't just a peak second-tier chef, even if I were to say he's hiding his true strength and is practically a third-tier spirit chef.
He couldn't possibly have created this phoenix egg, at least not one that preserved its spiritual essence intact.
"Oh?! What should we do then? Will Sister Qiu really ruin his reputation? That's the skill he relies on to hone his skills!"
Qin Chengcheng said urgently.
"Of course we won't ruin his reputation."
However, he'll have to compensate me with an identical phoenix egg.
Either, hmph, I'll acknowledge our relationship and officially be with you!
That bastard, he actually took advantage of me and tried to walk away.
Chengcheng, not to be mean, but you're too weak.
If it were me, I would have cut off his genitals with one sword, beaten him half to death, imprisoned him, and tortured him whenever I had the chance.
Our Chengcheng is such a fairy, yet she was still manipulated by this scoundrel.
Don't worry, I'm here to get revenge for you!
It's just a phoenix egg; it's gone if it's destroyed, anyway, it's been around for a long time and we won't need it anymore.
"Is this appropriate?"
"Just listen to me. Come back tomorrow, and don't say another word. Let's see how I handle him!"
The conversation between the two took place via telepathy not far from Chen Yi's Private Kitchen.
only,
Qiu Li was unaware that the ground they were standing on was one of the secret escape routes Qin Chengcheng had created for Chen Yi's underground chamber.
There is a soundproof array on the ground.
But of course it can also transmit sound.
With Qin Chengcheng's understanding and control of music, she easily carried out a simple, clandestine operation.
Let a portion of Qiu Li's telepathic message to Qin Chengcheng travel along Qin Chengcheng's feet and enter the soundproof array.
It was then passed on to Chen Yi's secret chamber.
As long as Chen Yi pays attention to his senses, he can hear it.
Sure enough, during their conversation, Chen Yi caught a faint glimpse of telepathic communication.
Then he roughly understood.
That woman must be Qin Chengcheng's friend from Zhongzhou; she didn't come here to cause trouble.
Instead, she was standing up for her best friend.
After realizing this, Chen Yi gave a wry smile.
He hadn't let the beauty down; it was just that the cultivation world was fraught with peril and constantly changing, and as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he struggled even to survive.
How can one dare to start a family and create a "weakness" for themselves?
If something happens in the cultivation world of Qi, or if Chen Yi offends a powerful enemy,
He could easily escape on his own.
But if there is one more person...
"Alas, that was before. With my current strength, I do have some ability to protect myself."
Let's wait until this secret realm incident is over, then we'll talk things out with Qin Chengcheng.
This thought will pass.
Chen Yi stared absently at the Thunder Ox Essence Blood and Fire Phoenix Egg beside him.
"Just to vent your anger for your best friend, you took out a mid-grade third-tier treasure?"
How wealthy must this woman be?
These two things are indeed difficult to make, but Chen Yi has the system's assistance to ensure that any negative energy that arises during the production process is absorbed by the system.
At most, the total amount of spiritual food produced will be less, but the quality will definitely not be lower.
Since the other party has already prepared the pot and ingredients...
Chen Yi then accepted it with a smile.
As for the other party's intention to make Chen Yi fail, using this to threaten him into admitting his relationship with Qin Chengcheng,
That's overthinking it.
A mere third-tier spiritual food was no challenge for Chen Yi.
Today I had my thyroid function checked and also saw a cardiologist. The specialist asked about my condition and ordered a lot of tests: echocardiogram, carotid artery ultrasound, liver function tests, kidney function tests, blood sugar test, complete blood count, and cardiopulmonary exercise. I'll have various more tests in the next few days. I'll try my best to update daily from now on, but I'll let you know in advance if I can't.
Let's find out what the problem is first, save his life, and once he recovers, I'll update more later. I also want to write more to earn more money for my child's milk powder. Sigh, this world is too hard.
