My Optimized Immortal Life

The mana in the Dantian gathered at one point and continued to condense. Under the effect of Chen Qing's technique, mana continued to flow towards that point. The strong pressure accelerated the condensation of Chen Qing's gaseous mana, which was already showing some condensation tendency.

Finally, at the center, the gaseous mana that was compressed to the limit completely condensed, and a drop of liquid mana fell into the dantian.

At this moment, Chen Qing felt his whole body was clear, and the first drop of liquid magic power was successfully condensed, which meant that Chen Qing had entered the stage of foundation building.

In the retreat room, the rich spiritual energy all around gathered together and surrounded Chen Qing. When he practiced his skills, it was continuously absorbed into his body, flowing through his meridians, turning into magic power, and continuously flowing into his dantian.

In Chen Qing's dantian, as the first drop of liquid mana condensed, the remaining gaseous mana was also continuously transformed in the process, condensing into liquid mana drops and falling into Chen Qing's dantian.

One drop, two drops, three drops...

As the liquid mana increased, Chen Qing actually felt his dantian swelling up, and even his body felt a little swollen. However, he had already cultivated to perfection in body refining, his body had reached the peak of the first level, and his qi and blood had not declined, so this swelling feeling was still bearable.

While Chen Qing was using his spiritual consciousness to look inward, his spiritual consciousness also began to transform under the nourishment of liquid mana. When the amount of liquid mana gradually increased to twenty drops, the spell in Chen Qing's hand changed, and he suddenly started to practice the foundation-building chapter of the Earth Fire Transformation Technique.

The liquid mana in the dantian was immediately mobilized, surging out from the dantian and impacting Chen Qing's meridians. His original meridians could only accommodate gaseous mana, but now flowing in them was second-level liquid mana.

His meridians were naturally completely filled at the first moment, and then the terrifying pressure of the liquid mana gradually expanded, and he was also nourished by the liquid mana in the process, allowing him to accommodate the second-level mana.

This process is the second stage of foundation building, which is to improve the physical body.

"hiss!"

Chen Qing took a breath of cold air, and unbearable pain came from the place where the magic power flowed.

The strengthening of the meridians is only superficial. When the liquid magic power flows through each meridian, it not only changes that meridian, but also the flesh near that meridian. It starts from the internal organs on the left, goes straight up, flows through the chest, heart, throat, and then rushes straight to the top of the head, but suddenly stops in front of Chen Qing's sea of ​​consciousness.

Then, it suddenly turned around and returned to the upper body, flowing through the arms, and back to the chest again, then flowed down from the other side, through the legs, and finally returned to the dantian.

During this process, the pain continued because different parts of the body were improved one by one. Although Chen Qing also felt the pain of his body being transformed when practicing the Hundred Beasts Skill, it only lasted for half an hour at most each time. But like now, the pain was so severe that he didn't know how long it had been.

After exhaling a breath of foul air, Chen Qing calmed down a little, then picked up the jade bottle placed beside him, poured out the foundation-building pill, and swallowed it in one gulp.

last step!

He gathered his spiritual consciousness and looked inward at himself, and saw that the foundation-building pill turned into a ball of extremely pure medicinal power as soon as it entered his mouth. It was carried by Chen Qing's spiritual consciousness and crashed into the liquid magic power in his dantian.

boom!

It was as if the world had just been created. A huge roar instantly resounded in Chen Qing's mind, causing his thoughts to pause and his sea of ​​consciousness to become empty.

This process seemed to last a long time, but in fact it only took a moment.

But when Chen Qing gathered his spiritual consciousness again, he discovered a completely different scenery.

This is……

Although he didn't open his eyes, he could see that he was sitting cross-legged on a cushion, surrounded by sky-blue spiritual energy. The black walls of the retreat room were cold and stiff.

This is divine consciousness!

Chen Qing was naturally clear about this. He controlled the extension of his spiritual sense and passed directly through the retreat room, seeing the tunnel coming in from the outside. His spiritual sense went straight up and he could easily see the cultivators stationed outside, as well as some other cultivators who came to rent the cave.

Chen Qing continued to extend his spiritual sense until he was about four hundred meters away, then he felt exhausted. Knowing that he had reached his limit, he retracted his spiritual sense and turned to observe his body.

First of all, the Dantian. After being infused with liquid mana, the capacity of the Dantian is more than 40% larger than when Chen Qing’s Qi training was perfected, almost half.

This is a good thing. The larger the dantian, the more magic power it can store. No matter at which realm, a cultivator with deep magic power will always have an advantage in fighting than a cultivator with shallow magic power.

As his spiritual consciousness went deeper, Chen Qing saw that in the center of his dantian, there were forty-two drops of light red liquid magic power suspended. Originally, Chen Qing had only condensed more than thirty drops of liquid magic power, but after condensing his spiritual consciousness with the help of the foundation-building pill, the remaining medicinal power was absorbed and converted into magic power, increasing Chen Qing's magic power by more than ten drops in one breath.

You know, according to the Earth Fire Transformation Technique, the mana needed to break through the middle stage of foundation building is no more than sixty drops. This means that as long as Chen Qing increases his upper limit of eighteen drops of liquid mana, he can try to break through the middle stage of foundation building. If he had not taken the foundation building pill, it would definitely take Chen Qing longer to break through the middle stage of foundation building.

After examining his Dantian, Chen Qing used his spiritual sense to carefully scan his entire body, observing if there were any hidden injuries or areas that he had not taken into consideration when building his foundation.

After checking everything and confirming that there was no problem, Chen Qing absorbed all his spiritual sense into his sea of ​​consciousness. He had not forgotten that deep in his sea of ​​consciousness, he had his golden finger.

The spiritual consciousness entered the sea of ​​consciousness like a fish swimming into the sea. Chen Qing only felt that he could control the spiritual consciousness more easily, and the speed of penetrating into the sea of ​​consciousness suddenly became a few points faster. However, when his spiritual consciousness entered the deepest part of the sea of ​​consciousness, it was blank.

How can it be?

Chen Qing's spiritual consciousness looked into the deepest part of the empty sea of ​​consciousness before him, but he found it difficult to understand.

Shouldn't his golden finger be right here? How could there be nothing there?

Although Chen Qing always felt that this golden finger was more like a natural ability, every time he used his natural ability, a strange feeling came from the depths of his sea of ​​consciousness. Moreover, the process of optimizing those skills and secret techniques also took place in the deepest part of his sea of ​​consciousness. Therefore, Chen Qing thought that there was something hidden in the deepest part of his sea of ​​consciousness, but the current situation proved that his guess was wrong.

Forget it.

Chen Qing took a deep breath and stopped thinking about the golden finger. He had just broken through the foundation building stage and his cultivation was not yet stable. Since he could not find out the truth about the golden finger, he would stabilize his cultivation first.

Half an hour later, Chen Qing, who had completely stabilized his cultivation at the initial stage of foundation building, walked out of the retreat room.

He released his spiritual sense, and all the scenes within 400 meters around him were reflected in his sea of ​​consciousness. No matter whether they were cultivators in the middle, late, or even perfect stages of Qi Refining, they were all naked in his eyes and were completely seen through.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Qing retracted his spiritual sense. There were more than one foundation-building cultivator in Hualiangu, so he couldn't release his spiritual sense casually. If he was discovered by the foundation-building cultivator stationed there, he would be entangled.

Using the breath-concealing technique to reduce his own mana fluctuations to the eighth level of Qi Refining, Chen Qing slowly walked out of the tunnel connecting to the retreat room. The cultivator guarding the door immediately smiled when he saw Chen Qing successfully break through the eighth level of Qi Refining.

He bowed and said.

"Congratulations, fellow Daoist, for successfully reaching the eighth level of Qi Refining. You are one step closer to perfection in Qi Refining."

Chen Qing naturally bowed in return and said with a smile.

"I finally broke through today, it's so refreshing."

The two of them argued for a few more words, and then ended with the gatekeeper monk giving Chen Qing fifty spirit stones.

Fifty spirit stones was nothing to a Foundation Establishment cultivator or an eighth-level Qi Refining cultivator, but the courtesy was there. Furthermore, the gatekeeper monk offered to help Chen Qing secure a position within Hualian Valley, but Chen Qing politely declined.

What a joke. As a foundation-building cultivator, what kind of position does he need in Hualian Valley?
