Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World-Chapter 170 - 116: Mid-stage Qi Refining, Dual cultivation of Law Body_2

Because in the clan, the level of your cultivation corresponds to your treatment,

If you aspire to rise above, you must strive and fight, there's no increasing your cultivation level by hiding.

.....

After another half a year, Chen Yi continued with his regular cultivation,

His cultivation level was now about one-third into the third layer of Qi refining, and he estimated that in about three more years, he should be able to reach the peak of the third layer Qi refining stage.

Chen Yi wasn't in a hurry,

However, one day during his shift in the clinic, he overheard some distressing news:

A large battle had erupted at the frontlines,

Neither the Zhao and Wu families' four Foundation Establishment cultivators had made a move,

But those at the late stage of Qi cultivation beneath them had instigated a massive chaotic melee on the lakebed.

The outcome of the fight was very unfavorable for the Zhao family.

Rumor has it that over half of the Zhao's cultivators at the seventh to eighth layers of Qi refining were lost!

Of course, the Wu family didn't fare well either.

The two families, fearing to deplete all their core forces and leaving themselves vulnerable to other clans, started to silently recall their late-stage Qi cultivators, dispatching primarily those at the mid-stage of Qi cultivation for the dispute over Spirit Fish Island,

Particularly the competition for the Lake Heart Blue spiritual grasses deep within the lake.

Liu Huo, who had just entered the second layer of body refining and lived in water since childhood, volunteered bravely to go to the front lines.

As a four-spirit root cultivator, Liu Huo's cultivation level had been stuck at the peak of the fourth layer of Qi refining for several months.

He needed to make meritorious deeds to exchange for a Breaking Tier Pill to help his cultivation level rise to the fifth layer of Qi refining.

Meanwhile, Chen Yi was cultivating himself intensively after finishing his duties at the medical hall,

During the time he was helping the Zhao Family in refining injury-healing pills, he utilized the knowledge he obtained from Elder Feng, combining low-level spiritual grasses with advanced techniques, to successfully produce first-tier injury-healing pills,

The success rate of refining these lower first-tier injury-healing pills reached over ninety percent for Chen Yi,

However, he only showed a fifty percent success rate to the Zhao family,

The extra spirit stones and spiritual grasses that he garnered from this difference were all kept by Chen Yi,

Through the accumulation of small gains, Chen Yi's stock of spirit stones and Contribution Points to the family was steadily increasing.

Two and a half years had passed.

Chen Yi's cultivation level had reached the peak of the third layer of Qi refining, and his body refining was about seventy percent into the third level,

Over these years, Chen Yi had accumulated more than four hundred spirit stones, his storage bag also contained three top-quality first-tier spiritual herbs, and some mid-quality first-tier pills,

Of which, he had three top-quality Iron Skin pills, which were his biggest card for self-preservation.

Besides that, Chen Yi also had some first-tier talisman scrolls.

But it wasn't enough,

The dispute over Spirit Fish Island had not ceased in these two years,

A year ago, Liu Huo retired from the front lines. Because he successfully snatched a hundred-year-old Lake Heart Blue from a member of the Wu family's younger generation, he was rewarded by his clan with an Ascension Pill,

Which successfully boosted his cultivation level to the fifth layer of Qi refining.

According to Liu Huo's account, during a critical moment, he engaged in underwater combat with a Wu family cultivator at the sixth level of Qi refining. Both of them were drained of their mana and stamina,

In the end, by relying on a top-quality Iron Skin pill given by Chen Yi, Liu Huo managed to kill his opponent.

Upon returning, his undaunted courage and unwavering hardiness won him recognition from the clan,

The Zhao Family wanted to set an example to others: whoever dares to risk their lives would be rewarded.

Only, nobody else knew that the first thing Liu Huo did when he returned was to spend several days recuperating under Chen Yi's care. Chen Yi provided him with medication and helped him recover his energy, thus enabling Liu Huo to get rid of his latent injuries and return to his peak state.

After that, Liu Huo even wanted to ask Chen Yi for a few more top-quality Iron Skin pills,

The successful refining of top-quality pills was remarkably low. These past few years, Chen Yi had rarely attempted to refine Iron Skin pills, thus he indeed didn't possess any,

Furthermore, he was afraid that if he casually took out top-quality pills, it would incite problems,

Therefore, he didn't give any to Liu Huo, but promised to give him some if he managed to refine more in the future.

.....

That day, Chen Yi attended a trade meeting at Moon Lake Manor and spent nearly a hundred spirit stones to purchase a lower first-tier magical instrument, Shadow Needles,

It was entirely black in color, thin as a cow's hair, and longer than fingers,

The attacking power of the Shadow Needle was comparatively low, but it had the advantage of discreet mana fluctuations when in use, making it difficult to detect,

Perhaps at a crucial moment, it could deliver unexpected results.

Chen Yi wished to purchase something better, but such low-level trading meetings didn't offer mid-tier first-level magical instruments, even mid-tier first-level talisman scrolls and pills were scarce.

As a result, Chen Yi went to the Zhao family's exchange point, spent over two hundred spirit stones and twenty Contribution Points, to exchange for a dual-purpose mid-tier first-level magical instrument, Copper-Gold Bell.

It was refined mainly from bronze essence, with a bit of gold essence added, and could withstand several attacks from late-stage Qi cultivation magical power without breaking. Moreover, it could also launch sonic-type attacks,

The effects were quite good.

Besides that, Chen Yi also spent several dozen spirit stones to exchange for two pieces of mid-tier first-level talisman scrolls from the family, one Light Body Talisman for escaping, and one Qi Shield Talisman, to block potential infiltrative attacks.

Upon returning to the courtyard, Chen Yi spent time infusing the Shadow Needles and Copper-Gold Bell with mana, ensuring they could be readily wielded as extensions of his will upon use.

One day, while Chen Yi was on duty at Zhao Medical Hall, he suddenly received a notification,

The medical hall was to be relocated to a peninsula closer to Spirit Fish Island, on Zhao Family Island,

Moreover, due to a shortage of physicians at the medical hall, Chen Yi was to serve as a resident physician there for a temporary period.

Chen Yi's current cultivation level was only at the third layer of Qi refining, and he was just a part-time physician in the medical hall,

He initially thought that he could mix through by simply treating injuries safely at the rear,

But now, the entire medical hall was relocating to the edge of Zhao Family Island, near to the battleground of Spirit Fish Island. The associated risk had significantly increased.

Chen Yi hesitated, contemplating whether he should run away,
