Chen Yi didn't actually need to recover his condition.

After all, he had the "Strong Strength" attribute, which gave him an amazing stamina recovery rate, and he hardly felt tired.

However, out of curiosity, he sat down anyway.

After practicing the technique for a while, I found that the efficiency had indeed improved.

Of course, it can't compare to the quiet room under the Qi-gathering array, but it's still much better than usual...

He suddenly had an idea: if he sat on this futon in the quiet room, would his cultivation efficiency be faster?

Even if it's only a 10% acceleration, that's still quite remarkable.

Thinking of this, he whispered to Yu Qian, "Are you selling this futon? I can trade it for a talisman!"

Yu Qian opened her eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in them.

As a student in the alchemy and weapon-making class, she didn't understand talismans, but she was very interested in Chen Yi's talismans.

If the other party offered to buy it with money, she might consider it, but if it was Chen Yi's talisman, she would definitely be very interested.

After all, the 14 Happy Talismans that Wu Lingyao bought last time were considered by both her and her brother to be the work of a genius.

Even after her family specifically went to high-end talisman specialty stores, they couldn't find talismans of the same quality...

"What talisman will you use in exchange?" Yu Qian asked back.

Chen Yi smiled slightly and took out a stack of talismans from his storage bag.

"Seven types of talismans in total: Yi Wood Sword Qi Talisman, Thunderfire Talisman, Earth Escape Talisman, Breath Concealment Talisman, Invisibility Talisman, Body Protection Talisman, and Fireball Talisman. You may choose any one of them."

At this moment, even Wu Lingyao, who was resting with her eyes closed, couldn't help but look over.

Yu Qian's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed, "Wow, young man! You're so well-prepared!"

"However, this futon of mine isn't cheap. It has a miniature energy-gathering array carved inside, and the materials are top-grade. How about this, I'll take two of each of your talismans, how about that?"

Chen Yi secretly estimated that the other party's futon was probably worth around 30,000 yuan on the market.

My 14 talismans are worth about the same price.

Moreover, the cost of his talisman drawing is far less than the market price. Each talisman paper costs one hundred, and the talisman brush and spirit ink were won in the talisman competition. This is definitely a sure-fire way to make a profit.

"Okay!" he readily agreed.

Yu Qian readily agreed: "Deal!"

Chen Yi happily handed the talisman to the other party.

Anyway, he already had some extra talismans, and initially he just wanted to find an opportunity to promote them to Wu Lingyao's best friend.

Now we have achieved our goal.

"If it works well, I'll buy more from you after we leave the secret realm," Yu Qian said with a grin.

Chen Yi felt relieved and quickly thanked him, "Thank you so much!"

Once I win over Yu Qian, I'll never have to worry about not having enough money to cultivate immortality!

He was very confident about the subsequent sales.

With the added bonus of the "divine inspiration" attribute, it's hard to find talismans of the same grade on the market that are drawn better than his, so he has no fear of not having repeat customers.

"Yao'er, you can have half of these talismans too." Yu Qian gave half of the talismans she had just exchanged to Wu Lingyao.

That's why she wanted two of each.

Wu Lingyao did not refuse. She had known Yu Qian for many years and knew her temperament well. If she refused, it would only make Yu Qian unhappy.

The cabin fell silent for the rest of the time.

All three of them closed their eyes and began to rest.

Although Chen Yi was not physically tired, it was never a bad thing to conserve his energy.

An hour passed quickly.

In the middle of the night, that is, between 11 p.m. and 1 a.m.

There were already faint sounds coming from outside.

The monks who arrived at Yinshan Village began to take action.

Chen Yi slowly opened his eyes.

The two women opened their eyes at almost the same time.

"It's time."

Chen Yi stood up and looked outside.

Dark shadows could be seen moving about under the eaves from time to time.

A quick glance is enough to estimate the number of cultivators vying for the phosphorescent fire tonight.

“Twenty-odd people…” Wu Lingyao said calmly.

Chen Yi looked at Yu Qian, and just as he was expecting her to take out some good magic weapon, she simply shrugged.

"What are you looking at me for? Hurry up and go out and look for it!"

Chen Yi's lips twitched. This phosphorescent fire was indeed elusive; even Yu Qian had no way to find it.

The three of them arrived outside the courtyard, and with a leap, jumped onto the roof.

"Creak!"

The top of the long-neglected roof beams groaned under the weight of the sturdy load.

"What kind of body-strengthening technique did you practice? It's so heavy!" Yu Qian glared at Chen Yi.

The latter scratched his head somewhat awkwardly, blaming it all on the "Rock Solid Bone Forging Technique"!

Wu Lingyao covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

Fortunately, the wooden house managed to support the weight of the three people.

Although the house Yu Qian chose was not the highest point in the village, it still offered a very wide view.

If it weren't for the thick fog, half the village would probably be visible...

"Everyone must be on high alert, because even in the mist, the phosphorescent light is still very conspicuous."

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from below.

Chen Yi scanned his face and was startled to see the group of students from Beast Barbarian Middle School.

The person who just spoke was Manli.

In just a few days, her cultivation level had actually reached the ninth level of Qi Refining!

"Um?"

Manli also spotted the three people on the roof.

She initially dismissed it, but when she saw Wu Lingyao, she knew things were not so simple.

Sure enough, Chen Yi was standing to the side.

In addition, Yu Qian, who exudes an air of nobility, also caught her attention.

Of course, besides its luxurious feel, there are other things as well...

"Sister Li..."

The members of the Beast Barbarians had strange expressions.

They all knew about how Manli had personally invited Chen Yi, only to be rebuffed.

But when they saw the poised and elegant Yu Qian and the icy goddess-like Wu Lingyao, they immediately understood.

It's not Chen Yi's fault; if it were them, they would have chosen two too!

Man Liu looked at Chen Yi with envy; this guy was really eating too well!

Chen Yi and Man Li exchanged a glance, then looked away.

Within this secret realm, the two teams are truly in competition...

The next second, Man Liu suddenly shouted, "It's here!"

Above the desolate fields, a ball of blue light suddenly appeared, piercing through the mist and scattering hazy paths.

"The Tyndall effect?" Chen Yi was slightly taken aback.

"Hey! Never mind the effect for now, it's blue phosphorescence! Charge!" Yu Qian shouted.

They were only two hundred meters away from the phosphorescent fire, closer than most people.

Wu Lingyao charged ahead with her nimble movements.

After Manli realized what was happening, she took the lead and even surpassed Manli.

"snort!"

A strong competitive spirit shone in her eyes.

If I were still at the eighth level of Qi Refining, I might have been ahead of Wu Lingyao, but now she is at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

"Whoosh!"

Manli's figure left trails of afterimages.

Just as she was about to overtake Wu Lingyao, a large amount of wind sword energy appeared around her, forming a dense net.

"A sword formation?" Manli's expression changed.

Who set up a sword formation around this wooden house?

Moreover, this sword formation actually made her, a ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator, feel a chill run down her spine...

If you force your way in, something terrible will definitely happen!

She abruptly changed direction, attempting to break out of the sword formation from another angle.

No matter how she looked at it, she couldn't find a flaw in the sword formation.

After all, she studied weapon crafting and beast taming, and didn't know much about formations...

The nine sword pellets were hidden within a large amount of sword energy, like a chaotic meteor shower. Even with her Qi Refining Level 9 cultivation, she was unable to forcefully break through!

"Fellow members of the Beastmen, please wait in my sword formation for a while!" Chen Yi's voice came from the rooftop, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Upon arriving at the wooden house, he had already scattered nine sword pellets around the perimeter, forming a sword array...

As it turns out, being cautious was definitely the right thing to do!
