My Optimized Immortal Life

After leaving the rented cave, Chen Qing returned to the small attic. Xu Lingxin was already sitting on a chair with a cup of tea in her hand, obviously waiting for him.

Seeing Chen Qing return safely, Xu Lingxin felt relieved. Although she had confidence in Chen Qing, she was still a little worried.

And now, both of them have broken through to the foundation-building stage, which is a great thing.

If the two of them showed their cultivation, they would definitely attract the foundation-building cultivators stationed here immediately and then be treated as guests of honor.

However, Chen Qing was not interested in acting arrogantly in this small place of Hualiangu. Breaking through the foundation building process did not mean the end for him, but only the beginning.

Next, we will explore the underground fire vein in Luo Yun Mansion.

The Earth Fire Transformation Mysterious Art was developed and optimized by Chen Qing with the help of his innate ability and combined with dozens of foundation-building techniques. It was not magical during the Qi Refining Stage, but it was completely different after the foundation was established.

Only with the rich liquid magic power of a cultivator in the foundation-building stage can the secret techniques in the exercises be activated to refine the essence of earth fire from the veins of earth fire.

The Earth Fire Transformation Technique can refine the essence of the earth fire into magic power, improving Chen Qing's cultivation. This means that Chen Qing's cultivation will experience explosive growth after finding a vein of earth fire, and his innate abilities can be fully utilized.

Sitting on the chair with Xu Lingxin, she handed the brewed tea to Chen Qing. Chen Qing took a sip while thinking about his next practice plan.

The first thing is to check the vein of earth fire under the Sky Valley. If the vein of earth fire is large enough, Chen Qing can build a cave there to improve his own cultivation. At the same time, he can use his innate ability to upgrade the four arts of cultivation to the second level. However, considering that there is still the energy of earth evil there, Chen Qing must first collect the black stone vein to refine a magic weapon that can resist the energy of earth evil before entering the valley to explore.

"Chen Lang, now that we have both advanced to the foundation-building stage, even in the entire Song Dynasty, we are considered to be at a great level. Why are you still so worried?"

Xu Lingxin had been struggling in the mortal world for several years and was very good at observing people's hearts. Therefore, as soon as she saw Chen Qing, she knew that he still had something on his mind.

If it were before, before entering the foundation-building stage and without any ability to protect herself, Xu Lingxin would not have mentioned it on her own initiative even if she knew that Chen Qing was worried. After all, she was able to escape from the Talisman Master Association thanks to Chen Qing's efforts alone. But now, after entering the foundation-building stage, she has the confidence and believes that she can help Chen Qing a little.

Chen Qing's thoughts were interrupted, but he was not annoyed. He just looked at Xu Lingxin and smiled.

"Ling Xin, the lifespan of a Foundation Establishment cultivator is two hundred years, equivalent to two or three generations of mortals. A Core Formation cultivator lives for five hundred years, able to witness a single day's decline. A Nascent Soul cultivator lives for a thousand years, able to sit back and watch the mountains come and go without moving. A Spirit Transformation cultivator lives for two thousand years, unmatched in the world. But even above the Spirit Transformation cultivator, there are still immortals from the upper realms..."

At this point, Chen Qing paused for a moment, then smiled frankly.

"I have no other aspirations in this life but to achieve immortality, to sit back and watch the ever-changing world unfold, unmoved. This is what one can truly call the greatest freedom."

Then he added another sentence.

"Of course, the journey to immortality is long, and it's hard not to feel lonely alone. Lingxin, are you willing to accompany me on this journey to immortality and enjoy eternal life?"

After these words, Xu Lingxin was stunned for a moment, and then she smiled. She was a little short-sighted. She didn't expect that her husband had already found the great way, but she was still secretly proud of breaking through the foundation. She couldn't help but laugh at herself in her heart, and then spoke.

"Ling Xin originally belonged to Chen Lang, so it's just as Chen Lang wishes."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing smiled and drank the tea in his hand.

……

Three days later, Chen Qing came to the crevice that he had been looking for with Zhong Ning. The dark crevice that could originally allow several people to pass through was now covered by rocks and stained with a hint of green. It was obvious that this place had not been discovered after Chen Qing left.

After extending his spiritual sense and detecting the tunnel hidden behind the rocks, Chen Qing directly used the fireball technique to blow up the blocking rocks.

Since his magic power has reached the second-level liquid magic power, the power of the fireball spell he cast is naturally far greater than when he was refining Qi. With only two uses, he forcibly blasted open the three-meter-high boulder. He used the wind control spell to blew away the scattered dust, and the originally dark cave entrance appeared in Chen Qing's eyes.

Seeing this, Chen Qing's spiritual sense expanded instantly. After confirming that there were no cultivators within a radius of 400 meters, he took out the formation flag and formation plate from the storage bag, set up the formation at the entrance of the cave, concealed his tracks, and then walked in.

Because his spiritual awareness had been developed, Chen Qing was still able to explore the specific situation around him in the pitch-black darkness. After walking for a while, his eyes lit up and he realized that he had arrived at Zhong Ning's original cave.

After taking out several top-grade flying swords from the storage bag, Chen Qing prepared to split the entire Black Nether Stone vein and then pack it up and take it away.

For this vein of ore, he specially purchased six storage bags of a hundred cubic meters in size in Hualian Valley. Even if he could not move the entire vein of ore, he could take away enough to refine a cave.

As for this top-grade magical flying sword, he is now a foundation-building cultivator, so the magical weapons used by Qi-refining cultivators are naturally eliminated, but he currently has no spiritual weapon, so he can only continue to use it.

With the help of the top-grade flying sword, Chen Qing cut these black stones extremely quickly. After all, the black stone was only a first-grade mid-grade spiritual material. Facing the top-grade flying sword made of several spiritual materials with far superior textures, it naturally had no resistance.

Chen Qing started to divide the Black Nether Stone vein from the deepest part. After all, the closer to the center of the vein, the better the quality of the ore. Naturally, Chen Qing wanted to take away the best.

However, the scale of this vein is slightly smaller than he expected.

Of the six storage bags prepared, each one hundred cubic meters in size, only four were used to completely empty the deepest part of the high-quality Black Nether Stone. Four hundred cubic meters of Black Nether Stone would definitely be more than enough to refine a cave dwelling.

The purpose of this trip had been achieved, so Chen Qing packed up his things and left.

After reaching the cave entrance, he thought about it and decided not to cover it up anymore. After all, he had already hollowed out most of the Black Stone vein, and the remaining value was not great and was of no use to him, so there was no need to cover it up anymore.

Now that the Black Nether Stone is in hand, the next step is to refine it into the Green Leaf Boat and then explore the Sky Valley.

After returning to Hualian Valley, Chen Qing immediately began to refine the Green Leaf Boat. His weapon-refining skills had reached the top level when he was practicing hard in Ziyun Mountain. It was not difficult to refine a large amount of Black Nether Stone into the flying boat, but it would take some time.

As for the cultivation after the foundation is established? The spiritual energy in the small attic alone cannot meet the cultivation needs of the foundation cultivator. Even Xu Lingxin rented a retreat room to cultivate. Moreover, Chen Qing had just broken through and was not in a hurry now. Once the underground fire veins under the Sky Valley were explored clearly, he would begin his cultivation.

Therefore, for now, the focus is still on refining the flying boat.

Seven days later, Chen Qing successfully refined a large amount of Black Nether Stone into the Qingye Boat. After he refined it, the original wooden flying boat turned into a dark black color, and it looked like the flying magic tools of those demon cultivators.

However, this did not have any effect. After resting for a few days and recovering the mana consumed in refining the equipment, Chen Qing immediately set out and rushed to Luo Yun Mansion.
