The man in strong clothing is named Tian Feng, a loose cultivator of Stone Mirror Town. Ten years ago, Lingyin Sect established Stone Mirror Town deeper in the Three Thousand Great Mountains. At first, Stone Mirror Town was thriving, almost like the next Yunxi District. But eight years ago, for unknown reasons, a demon beast uprising destroyed Stone Mirror Town. This caused all the loose cultivators of Stone Mirror Town to gather in Yunxi District. Inside the restaurant’s private room, Tian Feng and Chen Ye were drinking together, with reddened eyes: "Ah, it’s a long story... During that uprising, my partner died by the mouth of a demon beast, and the child was so frightened that she went insane. My child, she had Three Spiritual Roots!" Chen Ye froze momentarily. The talent of Three Spiritual Roots is considered quite excellent, with prospects of Foundation Establishment. The daughter of Old Man Ye from the Herb Hall has Three Spiritual Roots and is currently an Outer Disciple of Lingyin Sect. Chen Ye consoled, "Taoist Friend Tian, please mourn, countless of talented people exist in the world, someone will surely be able to cure your child..." "Uncurable! I spent a fortune, begging for help everywhere. But they said a demon insect crawled into the child’s head, killing the insect would kill the child too. Might as well not treat, better dead than barely living!" Tian Feng tilted his head and drained his cup of clear wine, his knuckles turning white from gripping. He sighed in relief, gazing at the red orchid on the table. Chen Ye had already performed a simple treatment on the red orchid right in front of him. Of course, to treat a prestigious First Tier Middle Grade red orchid, is not that simple. But Chen Ye’s few swift techniques visibly improved the orchid’s vitality. Tian Feng, initially doubtful, upon seeing Chen Ye’s skilled Spirit Plant Technique, couldn’t help but be in awe: "Taoist Friend Chen, to be honest. My ancestors were also Spirit Plant Masters and had a discerning eye. Your Spirit Plant Technique is no less than that of ordinary Spirit Plant Masters!" Chen Ye pondered, "Since that’s the case, about our cooperation?" Chen Ye hadn’t expected Tian Feng’s ancestors to be Spirit Plant Masters. Thinking carefully, Tian Feng likely knows some Spirit Plant cultivation methods. No wonder the person in charge behind him entrusted him with the task of selling Spiritual Medicine. "This...I’ll have to discuss it with my brothers back home. Rest assured, Taoist Friend Chen, with your skills, they’ll definitely agree!" Tian Feng was excited, making promises. Afterward, he handed Chen Ye two Spirit Stones as a consultation fee for the red orchid. Chen Ye did not refuse, promptly accepting the Spirit Stones. Initially, he worried Tian Feng was just tricking him into treating the red orchid, but having the Spirit Stones eased his mind. Tian Feng genuinely wished to cooperate. As Chen Ye suspected, for Tian Feng to have so much Spiritual Medicine, there must be a power behind him. The Stone Mirror Association? He recalled that the Jade Lizard Association and the Stone Mirror Association had many conflicts in East Valley. Affecting a large amount of Spiritual Medicine. And this corresponded perfectly with the sick medicine at Tian Feng’s disposal. Chen Ye returned to Shunshui Street with Tian Feng. He did not go out of his way to hide his residence—it’s hard to hide from those who are determined. "Alright, I’ll come visit Taoist Friend Chen some other day... Taoist Friend Chen, what are you doing?" After noting the address, Tian Feng turned to find Chen Ye continuously rinsing his mouth, looking surprised. Chen Ye awkwardly laughed, "I have two disciples at home, they can’t stand the smell of alcohol." Two little girls could be heard softly speaking in the yard. The man laughed heartily, "I didn’t expect Taoist Friend Chen to be such a tender-hearted person!" Thinking of how Chen Ye lives on Shunshui Street, has skilled Spirit Plant Techniques, and even takes care of two children. It’s unlikely he would risk himself for a nearly dying Spiritual Medicine. Tian Feng pushed the red orchid to Chen Ye, "For these few days, I’ll entrust Taoist Friend Chen with this red orchid. In five days, I’ll take the orchid back, so my brothers can feel assured." Chen Ye agreed without objection. Then saw Tian Feng’s hand emitting wisps of green light, brushing over the red orchid. Tian Feng proudly boasted, with a hint of vanity: "This is my family’s Spirit Plant Technique: Spring Nurturing Hand, which can preserve a Spirit Plant’s Essence Qi. That’s why my brothers trust me to sell Spiritual Medicine." "It’s said that the Spring Nurturing Hand, when practiced to a high level, can even help Spirit Plants break through grades! Unfortunately, I’m not proficient enough..." To aid a Spirit Plant in breaking through grades! Chen Ye felt a jolt in his heart, "There is such a Spirit Plant Technique in the world?" Tian Feng shook his head laughing: "Practicing the Spring Nurturing Hand is complex and profound. Even at the highest level, it can only help Spirit Plants that are one step away from breaking through grades." Tian Feng didn’t linger further and left straight away. Chen Ye stood in place, waiting until Tian Feng’s silhouette was out of sight before entering. Two young girls were panting as they swept the piled snow. Two fluffy bundles immediately paused their tasks, calling crisply. It seemed, their moods were good. Chen Ye’s mood was also good. Compared to a cold, empty house. Opening the door and seeing two adorable little girls cheerfully calling Master. The feeling is altogether different. Chen Ye chuckled, nodding, "How’s the new home? Are you satisfied?" Qing Jun happily squinted her eyes, "Yeah! It’s so much prettier than our old house!" Zhiwei seemed shy, clutching her fingertips on her hem, lost in thought. Chen Ye glanced at the elder girl, not lingering. He nodded and proceeded inside. He casually performed a Cloud Rain Technique, nurturing the red orchid. The Great Success level of Cloud Rain Technique, with reduced coverage, was enough to nurture the red orchid for three twos. After dealing with the red orchid. Chen Ye eagerly wished to try the Spiritual Qi of the market. Yunxi District was built on a First Tier Spirit Vein. Though Class C residences lack a Spirit Gathering Array, the density of Spiritual Power in the air is still far higher than the slums. "What bitter days I used to endure..." Chen Ye, feeling the dense Spiritual Power in the air, was overjoyed. In the slums, he estimated it would take five years to break through to Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer. But in the market, only two and a half years! And this doesn’t include the addition from Qi Nourishing Pills and the Evergreen Technique breaking through! Moreover, the thing that surprised Chen Ye the most: The passive proficiency of Evergreen Technique increased from ten to fifteen. But the passive proficiency accumulates over time, creating significant differences! "No wonder so many people clamor to get into the market." Chen Ye clicked his tongue in amazement. Now, let’s see how effective the Qi Nourishing Pill is... This pill, one piece costs a Spirit Stone! Chen Ye, feeling the pinch, rolled a rounded Qi Nourishing Pill into his palm. After stripping the wax, it emitted a mild fragrance. The scent of Spirit Stone... Chen Ye closed his eyes, raised his head, and swallowed it. The pill melted instantly in his mouth like streams of heat, merging with the Spiritual Power. He immediately entered a realm where all is forgotten, focusing wholeheartedly on cultivation. Until the sun set in the west, as dusk fell. He opened his eyes promptly, the first thing he did was open the panel: [Evergreen Technique Great Success: 130/200] In just one afternoon, the proficiency directly increased by thirty! Swallowing three more Qi Nourishing Pills, the Evergreen Technique could break through to Perfection! Simultaneously, one Qi Nourishing Pill is approximately equivalent to five days of cultivation. "If it’s one pill a day... six months will be enough to break through to Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer! And this is just Lower Grade Qi Nourishing Pills!"
