My Optimized Immortal Life

Flying rapidly in a flying boat above the mountain stream.

Xu Lingxin leaned on Chen Qing's shoulder and complained.

"My husband's arrival this time really caught me off guard. I thought it was a demon cultivator who came to attack me."

Chen Qing smiled, but did not answer where he had spent the past three years. Instead, he changed the subject.

"Next, let's go to Wanren City."

When Xu Lingxin saw this, the light in her eyes dimmed for a moment, then returned to normal in the blink of an eye.

She said no more, but leaned quietly on Chen Qing's shoulder, feeling the warmth that she had not felt for a long time.

Chen Qing naturally felt that Xu Lingxin's mood had become depressed at this time, and there was nothing he could do. After all, it was related to his biggest secret, and he still couldn't reveal it even to Xu Lingxin.

Therefore, Chen Qing could only hug her a little tighter and comfort her.

"Don't worry, I will be with you in the coming days."

Hearing this, Xu Lingxin remained silent and continued to lean in Chen Qing's arms. However, Chen Qing could feel that her originally tense body relaxed a little.

Seven days later, the flying boat arrived at Wanren City.

Chen Qing led Xu Lingxin into the city after paying the entrance fee of two spirit stones.

Wanren City has not changed at all in the past three years. The people walking on the streets are all cultivators, and there are basically no mortals to be seen. Chen Qing and Xu Lingxin have both hidden their cultivation levels at this time, and with their cultivation levels in the late stage of Qi Refining, they blend in with the crowd.

Although revealing his cultivation in the Foundation Establishment stage would get him better treatment, Chen Qing was not prepared to be so high-profile. He came here to collect the techniques for the Core Formation stage, and brought Xu Lingxin with him to use the resources here to help her advance her cultivation quickly.

Because of his previous experience, this time Chen Qing rented a cave with a concentration of spiritual energy that could meet the needs of a foundation-building cultivator.

Although Wanren City is one of the largest gathering places for independent cultivators in the entire Song State and was jointly established by the four major sects, there are still not many cultivators in the foundation-building stage. After all, compared with the various mountain gates, the primary large-scale spiritual vein of Wanren City is somewhat pale in comparison.

However, the spiritual energy here is sufficient for Xu Lingxin's practice.

The cave that Chen Qingxin rented was located a little outside the center of Wanren City. It was a group of courtyards, and most of the highest-level cultivators in the entire Wanren City lived here. As for those foundation-building cultivators sent from various major sects, they naturally lived in the most central place.

Xu Lingxin took Chen Qing's arm as they walked along the road paved with bluestone slabs. Looking at the courtyards around them, she couldn't help but reveal joy on her face, making her look even more charming and attractive.

"Husband, how long do you plan to stay here?"

"Until you complete your foundation building."

Chen Qing smiled, his spiritual consciousness penetrated his body, and the art of seeing qi also flowed in his eyes. He quietly looked at the nearby courtyard and observed the situation nearby.

Although each courtyard is protected by restrictions, Chen Qing's spiritual sense cannot see the situation inside through this restriction, but the monks living in the courtyard always leave some traces when entering and leaving. With the help of spiritual sense and the art of seeing qi, Chen Qing can judge the cultivation level of the monks living in these courtyards.

After walking for several hundred meters, Chen Qing and Xu Lingxin finally arrived at the courtyard they rented. After using the token to open the restriction, they stepped inside.

A yard about ten meters wide appeared in front of them. A tall osmanthus tree was planted in the southeast corner, with its branches extending in all directions, just covering a corner of the house next door.

On the other side of the courtyard, there is a pond several square meters in size with a few bright red carp in it.

In the middle of the yard is a huge main house, with shorter side houses on both sides.

The more Xu Lingxin looked at it, the better she thought it was. She looked at Chen Qing beside her and asked.

"Husband, what do you think?"

Chen Qing looked at Xu Lingxin and couldn't help but smile when he saw the latter's expectant look.

"This place is really nice, but it's a little too big."

Upon hearing this, Xu Lingxin looked at it again, but didn't think it was big.

After the two of them settled in, Chen Qing looked at the big bed in the main room that was large enough for the two of them to roll around on, and then looked at the charming Xu Lingxin in purple gauze, and he could no longer bear it.

The two of them were in love for three full days before they returned to normal. Xu Lingxin went to the retreat room in the side room to practice, while Chen Qing went out to gather information.

As soon as he walked out, a monk next to him greeted Chen Qing.

"Fellow Daoist, have you just arrived in Wanren City? My name is Li He, and I'm quite knowledgeable about talismans. If you'd like to purchase some high-quality talismans, I can sell them to you at a price 10% lower than the market price."

The male cultivator named Li He had a flattering smile on his face. In his perception, the new neighbor's cultivation level was the ninth level of Qi Refining, and he was only one step away from the tenth level of Qi Refining. Therefore, it was essential to make friends with him appropriately, and at the very least, he had to leave a good impression on him.

"I appreciate your kindness, Daoist friend, but I don't have any need for talismans."

Chen Qing looked at Li He.

Hmm, Qi Refining Level 7, barely enough, right? Colorless Mana? It seems he's practicing a rare attributeless technique, but this kind of technique can only be cultivated to the Foundation Establishment Stage at most, so it's not very valuable.

Li He had no idea that when he showed goodwill to Chen Qing, Chen Qing had already found out all his details.

He could never have imagined that the young cultivator standing in front of him was actually a Foundation Establishment cultivator. In front of the divine consciousness, everything about him was exposed.

Li He was not surprised at all when he saw Chen Qingwan reject him. A cultivator like him who was close to the perfection of Qi Refining had far more good things on him than them, so it was normal for him to look down on the mere morsels in their pockets.

However, Li He just wanted to impress people at the beginning. Seeing that his goal was achieved, he stopped pestering and said with a smile.

"Since you have said so, I will not disturb you any more. Goodbye."

After saying that, he turned around and walked back to the yard.

Chen Qing glanced at him, then looked away and walked out of the alley.

Chen Qing could naturally see that Li He wanted to make friends with him, which was exactly what he wanted. It would be beneficial for him to settle down here and find someone to run errands for him.

After exiting the alley, Chen Qing followed the crowd and came to Wanbao Pavilion. It was still a five-story pavilion with flying eaves and gables, and it looked magnificent.

If you want to seek the skills for the Jindan stage, coming here is the best choice.

After all, it is the largest store in the entire Wanren City. Apart from the black market, it has the most and most complete items.

The last time Chen Qing came here, he also bought a copy of Xuanyu Huaying Gong, but that was only a second-level skill, which was not very useful to him now.

Just like last time, after entering the Wanbao Pavilion, a female cultivator came to Chen Qing and asked politely.

"Fellow Daoist, what would you like to buy?"

"Third-level technique."

Chen Qing’s words are concise and to the point.

The female cultivator was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then spoke.

"Third-level items are not something I can control. Please move to the third-floor private room first."

Chen Qing nodded, then followed the female cultivator into a private room on the third floor.

A moment later, a tall and broad middle-aged monk pushed open the door and came in, smiling.

"My name is Lu Fengsheng, one of the managers of Wanbao Pavilion. What type of Jindan-level technique would you like to purchase?"
