Chapter 146 Foundation Establishment Opportunity_4
Chen Yi was taken aback, but he didn't show any expression on his face. He didn't stop his steps,
and under Liu Peng's invitation, he continued to walk inside.
Seeing this,
admiration flashed in Tan Feng's eyes.
"Daoist Chen, this is Mr. Tan, of Qinglong island..."
Liu Peng started to introduce him but was interrupted by Tan Feng's smile,
"Xiao Liu, don't bother. I've known Brother XiaoChen for many years now."
"Oh?" Liu Peng was taken aback. "Then that's good, you two can catch up, haha."
With these words, Liu Peng took the teapot from the servant and personally refilled Tan Feng's cup.
"Chen Yi, I didn't expect that after three years, you've reached the ninth layer of the Qi Cultivation. It's admirable that you haven't given up on the Foundation Establishment at this age.
Today, this young master offers you an opportunity for Foundation Establishment."
Tan Feng said with a smile, waiting for Chen Yi to beg him.
"Oh, Chen Yi doesn't need to worry about my foundation matters. The process is against the heavens and for me, the chances are slim. I do not insist on it."
However, Chen Yi did not play along. He called him senior, but his words were a complete rejection. No matter what his intentions were today, Chen Yi would not accept his help, and he would not ask for it!
Upon hearing these words, Tan Feng was startled. A flash of displeasure crossed his face before he resumed speaking with a smile,
"You don't need to worry, this time I don't want anything from you. Instead, I'm offering you an opportunity to rise to the heavens in one step.
Miss Yang Dan of the Yang Family in Wangyue City possesses a 300-year-old Spirit Fruit and is looking for others to cooperate in refining pills,
Having collected alchemical materials for many years, I believe that you should have most of the required materials.
You've lived in this city for so many years, you know who Yang Dan is, I presumed that I need not explain further?
With my guarantee, you can cooperate with Yang Dan in alchemy. I promise you the second priority to choosing the pill,
how about it?"
Having said that, Tan Feng was confident that no matter what Chen Yi's concerns were, he would surely be moved by his proposal.
Yang Dan, the single spiritual rooted granddaughter of the Yang Family's True Core Ancestor, who reached Foundation Establishment at the age of only 52, was a real genius.
She mingled with the upper echelons of Wangyue City, and she was bound to at least become a Pseudo-Core, possibly even a True Golden Core cultivator in the future,
If Chen Yi worked with her on alchemy, and if his luck was good, he might be able to cleverly make some small moves during the Pill Material selection or refining process.
Doing so could potentially make her indebted to Chen Yi,
thus giving Chen Yi the opportunity to step into the upper-class society of Wangyue City,
With the Yang Family Chamber of Commerce present, Chen Yi could have easy access to any rare resources he desired.
This opportunity was a great and rare chance for any Loose Cultivator to climb into higher society, and nobody would pass it up.
However, Chen Yi remained unmoved and asked,
"What does Senior Tan want in return?"
"Hahaha, I don't want anything from you little Brother Chen, just give to me that servant girl of yours, that's all.
Years ago, I was fond of Zhao Chengjing, who you've been with for over a decade. Now, I'm giving you a chance to pay back, and we'll consider this even.
Also, I'm giving you an extra favor of acquaintance with influential figures, hahaha, haven't you hit the jackpot?"
"I'm sorry to disappoint Senior Tan. As it stands, I haven't gathered all the necessary materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill, apart from the main one. I'm afraid I'm not fit to cooperate with such great figures like Senior Yang."
Chen Yi didn't even bother asking why the talented Foundation cultivator, Yang Dan, was after the Foundation Establishment Pill, he knew,
For people like Yang Dan and Tan Feng, whatever their objective may be,
If a Qi Cultivator like Chen Yi got involved, he wouldn't even be worthy of sipping the soup,
and when the time came, he would just end up being bullet bait.
Seeing this, Tan Feng's expression turned cold, clearly displeased. He gave Liu Peng a look.
Liu Peng on the side quickly picked up the conversation, laughing and persuading,
"Brother Chen, there's no need to worry. Apart from the main material, what else are you missing? We can find another person for them to refine together,
There are many people willing to contribute materials, and not even want a Foundation Establishment Pill in return, just to befriend figures like Senior Yang."
Chen Yi still shook his head: "I have collected less than half of the necessary materials. Even if I went, I wouldn't be able to get a Foundation Establishment Pill,
I might as well continue my search for several more years.
Thank you, Senior Tan and Brother Liu, for introducing me to this wonderful opportunity. It's my failing for not being able to seize it.
I'm sorry, I'll be taking my leave."
With that, Chen Yi turned and left.
He did not wish to become the stepping stone for anyone to curry favor with Yang Dan, nor would he give Tan Feng any chance to take Emei away.
In Chen Yi's view, Emei, being a living entity, was not something that could be compared to any materialistic object,
Besides, Yang Dan herself was a genius with a single spiritual root. She had numerous elders who have reached the Core Formation and Pseudo-Core stage.
Tan Feng's intention to cozy up to her was somewhat justifiable,
However, Chen Yi was on a whole different level from them, if he took the initiative to participate, and there happened to be any problem with the Foundation Establishment Pill, he, the provider of the materials, would be the scapegoat.
