Everyone's Immortal Cultivation: Starting from a Junior Talisman Maker

Chapter 161 Resolving the Trouble, Mastering Three Techniques to Perfection (Please Subscribe)
When Yang Feng first saw Chu Yan using a Core Formation artifact to lure him into taking on some gray-market missions that violated the laws of Xia Kingdom, he only had a slight suspicion of Chu Yan out of safety concerns.

However, once the seed of doubt is planted, it begins to spread in the heart.

Especially since Yang Feng has a secret, he is always on guard against the people around him.

And they are more sensitive than others.

This is also why Yang Feng has not had a single close friend over the years, and why he is unwilling to develop deep friendships with others who try to befriend him.

In order to verify his suspicions, Yang Feng then began to test Chu Yan.

He showed a strong desire to form a core spiritual object, but was also worried about taking on shady missions that violated the laws of the Xia Kingdom, fearing that if he were caught, it would affect his future prospects.

Chu Yan noticed that Yang Feng was very interested in the Core Formation spiritual object, but was reluctant to accept the mission.

So he kept trying to persuade Yang Feng, explaining that Core Formation spiritual objects are precious and that it wouldn't be possible without paying a price.

When Yang Feng saw that the other party kept trying to persuade him to commit a crime while he was 'hesitating', he became even more convinced that the other party had a problem.

Yang Feng then decisively chose to call the police.

Although Yang Feng didn't know what the other party's ultimate purpose was in using a Core Formation spiritual item to lure him into doing something that violated the laws of the Xia Kingdom.

But Yang Feng knew that the other party had been scheming to get close to him over the years and trying to gain his trust, but at a crucial moment, he wanted to lure him into committing crimes. He definitely had no good intentions.

Yang Feng was too lazy to investigate the other party's background himself, so he took the initiative to report the situation to the police and asked them to investigate and handle it for him.

In any case, in the past few years, apart from some normal transactions with the other party, he has not done anything that violates national laws or harms national interests, so he is not afraid of the police investigating him.

On the contrary, he rarely interacted with outsiders, yet he was targeted by Chu Yan, who went to great lengths to gain his trust and lure him into committing crimes.

They even resorted to using their femininity as a weapon.

This made him wary, suspecting that he might have been targeted by someone several years ago.

Before reporting the incident to the nearby police station, Yang Feng was worried that the news would leak out and the other party would resort to desperate measures, threatening him with his family. So he brought his parents to stay at the courthouse in advance and told his sister not to go out easily recently.

“Mr. Yang, we understand your situation. I will investigate the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce and the true identity of Chu Yan as soon as possible.”

"I'll contact you as soon as I have news."

"And just in case, I suggest you try not to leave the courthouse recently."

When Yang Feng arrived at the police station, the officer who received him saw that Yang Feng's cultivation had reached the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm and dared not neglect him. He immediately called over a captain from the police station to receive Yang Feng.

After Yang Feng explained his purpose and showed Chu Yan his chat history over the years,

Qin Wenbin, the police captain in charge of receiving Yang Feng, copied Yang Feng's chat history with Chu Yan over the years and found that Chu Yan, the manager of the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce, was indeed problematic.

Qin Wenbin paid even more attention to Yang Feng after learning that Yang Feng was a cultivator from the Zhengfa Academy.

After all, as far as he knew, in recent decades, quite a few monks from the Righteous Court had been turned into spies by spy organizations in neighboring countries through various means.

After reviewing Yang Feng's information, he discovered that Yang Feng was only 85 years old this year, yet his cultivation had already reached the ninth level of Foundation Establishment.

Clearly, Yang Feng was a prodigy in the court. Based on his experience and intuition, Qin Wenbin immediately suspected that Yang Feng was likely being targeted by a spy organization from a neighboring country.

However, before clarifying Chu Yan's true identity, he did not tell Yang Feng his conjecture for the time being, but decided to tell Yang Feng after the investigation was completed.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to Captain Qin."

When Yang Feng met the police station captain, who took his situation seriously and personally saw him out, he politely thanked him.

Afterwards, Yang Feng returned to the court and quietly awaited news.

Of course, while waiting for news, Yang Feng was not idle. He continued to practice several second-tier spells every day.

Currently, apart from his cultivation in the three aspects of Dharma, Body, and Spirit not reaching the perfection of the ninth level of Foundation Establishment and the perfection of the ninth stage of the second tier, he only has his magic cultivation not yet reaching the perfection realm.

After waiting for a few days...

On this day, Qin Wenbin brought a cultivator whose cultivation had reached the Pseudo-Core Realm to Yang Feng's residence.

After being introduced, Yang Feng learned that the pseudo-Core Formation cultivator, whose Daoist name was Blood Shadow, was a member of the Ministry of State Security.

"Fellow Daoist Yang, according to our investigation, Chu Yan is a spy from the Wuqi Kingdom."

"Currently, she most likely doesn't know that you've called the police, so I need your cooperation in arresting her."

The National Security Department's pseudo-core cultivator, whose Daoist name was Blood Shadow, stated his purpose.

How do you need my cooperation?

Yang Feng was somewhat surprised to learn that Chu Yan was actually a spy.

Fortunately, I was cautious, and over the years, I haven't fallen for Chu Yan's seduction.

Of course, the main reason is that Yang Feng can obtain Core Formation spiritual items from the system, which allows him to remain unmoved when faced with temptations from others using such precious resources.

Otherwise, if it were any other Foundation Establishment cultivator, even knowing that the other party was a spy from an enemy country, they would probably still choose to take the risk and fall into the trap set by the other party in order to achieve Core Formation.

"Human nature is treacherous."

Yang Feng thought to himself.

He never expected that his years of low-key cultivation in the Zhengfa Academy would be targeted by spies from a neighboring country.

Fortunately, I have been quite careful and cautious all these years because of the opportunities I have had.

That's how they avoided falling into their trap.

On the contrary, they actually gained quite a few benefits from Chu Yan, so it wasn't a loss.

"You just need to follow your previous communication pattern, ask her if you need to buy some daily cultivation resources, lure her to the Zheng Court, and then we will take action to capture her."

Having read Yang Feng's chat history with Chu Yan, Blood Shadow Master had already devised a capture plan before coming and spoke directly to Yang Feng.

"Row."

Seeing that he didn't need to do anything himself, but only needed to cooperate with the Ministry of State Security to lure Chu Yan to the court, Yang Feng immediately nodded in agreement.

However, in order not to alert Chu Yan and arouse her suspicion, Yang Feng waited a few more days until he was almost out of the daily cultivation resources he had bought from Chu Yan last time, before asking Chu Yan to send him more resources.

During this time, Yang Feng also looked through the chat history and carefully recalled the time when he first met Chu Yan.

Finally, after some searching and analysis...

Yang Feng discovered that during that period, it seemed that he had just reached the perfect state of the "Demon Blood Body Refining Technique, Second Stage".

"Could it be that I've been targeted by Chu Yan and the spy organization behind him?"

"Is it because some people with ulterior motives saw the information that I had already cultivated the 'Second Stage of the Divine Forging Visualization Technique' and the 'Second Stage of the Demon Blood Body Refining Technique' to perfection?"

Yang Feng pondered to himself, feeling that this was highly likely.

Otherwise, Chu Yan wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to win him over. Thinking of this, Yang Feng became even more cautious.

I've decided that once I've mastered several second-tier spells to perfection, I will resolutely refuse to go to the testing hall again for the sake of the 100 credits reward.

Anyway, his current spiritual root aptitude and body grade are very close to the Earth grade level.

Even if he doesn't use his academic credits to purchase high-grade third-tier materials from the Zheng Court to enhance his spiritual root aptitude and body quality, it won't have a significant impact on his future attempt to reach the Golden Core realm.

……

A few days later, Chu Yan received news that Yang Feng was almost out of the daily cultivation resources he had purchased from him last time.

I plan to buy some more from her.

Based on the frequency with which Yang Feng had purchased resources from her in the past, Chu Yan considered the situation in her mind and found nothing unusual.

So, as usual, she prepared all the cultivation resources Yang Feng needed and went to the Zhengfa Academy. She even planned to take the opportunity to persuade Yang Feng to accept the mission.

After all, given Yang Feng's background, it would be extremely difficult to obtain such precious resources as Core Formation Spiritual Objects through other channels.

She believed that as long as Yang Feng wanted to achieve the True Core, he would find it difficult to resist the temptation of the Core Formation Spiritual Object.

In the past, they used this method of enticement to capture other Foundation Establishment cultivators who did not have a strong background but had the potential to reach the True Core or False Core realms.

Basically, it can be said that they are invincible.

Even if the other party suspects their identity, they generally will not immediately choose to expose them.

After all, when they offer Core Formation spiritual treasures to lure the other party, almost no one can remain unmoved.

In this situation, unless the other party obtains a Core Formation item from other channels and no longer needs the Core Formation item in their possession, then...

Otherwise, they would generally leave room for maneuver and wouldn't immediately expose their spy identities.

However, this time, Chu Yan did not expect that Yang Feng, who "clearly wanted to obtain the Core Formation spiritual item in her possession," would be directly controlled by a Pseudo-Core Formation cultivator shortly after she entered the Zhengfa Academy, before she could even react.

Although her cultivation had reached the late Foundation Establishment stage, her strength was not great, especially compared to a Pseudo Core Stage cultivator, she was far inferior and had no ability to resist.

"It's over!"

Chu Yan realized that she had been controlled by a fake Core Formation cultivator and knew that she had been tricked by Yang Feng.

"hateful!"

Chu Yan was unwilling to accept this.

Especially when I think back on the past few years, how I tried to gain Yang Feng's trust.

It not only consumed a large amount of resources, including a top-grade third-tier material to enhance spiritual root aptitude, but also a small amount of Core Formation spiritual items.

Furthermore, she used her beauty to seduce Yang Feng.

They failed to win over Yang Feng.

Instead, she was outmaneuvered by the other party and captured alive.

Not far away, Yang Feng witnessed Chu Yan being captured and discovered that she had no ability to resist at all in front of that Blood Shadow True Person.

He also gained a direct understanding of the strength gap between Foundation Establishment cultivators and Pseudo Core Formation cultivators.

He felt that even though he had now raised his cultivation in terms of technique, body, and spirit to the eighth level of Foundation Establishment and the eighth stage of the second tier, he was probably still no match for his opponent without using any trump cards.

"Fellow Daoist Yang, thank you for your cooperation this time!"

"You deserve much credit for catching this spy so easily. After I take her back for interrogation, the case will be closed."

"I'll come back to thank you later..."

After easily subduing Chu Yan, the Blood Shadow Master handed her over to his subordinates, then came to Yang Feng and offered his polite thanks.

"Not at all, I should thank Lord Blood Shadow for solving a great problem for me."

Upon hearing this, Yang Feng also expressed his gratitude with a humble expression.

After seeing off Blood Shadow Master and the others.

Yang Feng was worried that a neighboring country's spy organization might retaliate against him, so he became even more cautious.

Not only did he bring his parents to live with him long-term, but he also had his fellow villagers from Zhengfa Court or his sister run errands for him to buy the resources he needed for his daily cultivation.

……

Five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

That year, Yang Feng turned 90 years old.

That day, Yang Feng was diligently practicing a second-tier martial art, the Vajra Fist, in the spell practice room.

He practiced it again and again.

A message notification would occasionally appear before his eyes:
"You have diligently practiced the Vajra Fist once, and your understanding of it has improved slightly. Vajra Fist (Second Tier) experience points +5, +3..."

"You tried to improve the way you mobilized the Qi and blood in your meridians when performing the Vajra Fist. After many attempts, you found a way of circulating the Qi and blood that was more suitable for your body structure, which deepened your understanding of the Vajra Fist. Vajra Fist (Second Tier) experience points +26, +18..."

Yang Feng practiced and improved his skills again and again. At one point, he had a sudden inspiration and felt that his understanding of the Vajra Fist had reached a whole new level.

He then mobilized his internal energy and blood again, and threw a punch.

He concentrated the surging blood and qi within his body into a single point, controlling it completely, and finally transformed it into a golden fist imprint, which slammed into the protective array in front of him.

The moment the fist imprint was formed, the spiritual energy around Yang Feng was drawn in, causing the power of the golden fist imprint to increase once again.

Finally, the fist imprint landed on the protective array of the magic practice room in front, causing the array to shake.

Then, Yang Feng saw a new prompt appear in front of him:
"Congratulations on cultivating the Vajra Fist to the perfect state. You are rewarded with a third-grade mid-level treasure, Golden Source Spirit Milk. The reward has been sent to your inventory. You can open the system to view the details."

Yang Feng's eyes lit up with joy when he saw the information notification that appeared before him, especially the reward given by the system.

According to his understanding, this Golden Source Spirit Milk is an extremely precious spiritual object for Core Formation.

Without a strong network of connections, ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators simply cannot purchase these kinds of resources.

Yang Feng immediately opened the system panel and looked at the inventory.

"A mid-grade, third-tier Golden Source Spirit Milk, a kind of Core Formation spiritual item that can improve the quality of a cultivator's Core Formation to a certain extent."

After reading the information about the Golden Source Spirit Milk, Yang Feng immediately took out the jade bottle containing it and found that it contained a full 100 milliliters.

This filled him with immense joy.

With so much Golden Source Spirit Milk, it would be more than enough for him to use when he tries to break through to the Golden Core realm in the future.
