My Optimized Immortal Life

Although the price of first-level talismans is relatively low, there are still many Qi-refining cultivators in Wanren City, so the demand is huge. Fortunately, Chen Qing has reached the level of drawing two talismans with one stroke in drawing this kind of low-level talismans. He can make nearly a hundred high-quality talismans in an hour. By selling these talismans, he earned nearly a thousand spirit stones in a short period of time. However, this peaceful life did not last long. Li He found him a few weeks later and brought him an astonishing news.

"You found the Cold Marrow Fluid in Wanren Mountain!"

Sensing the surprise in Chen Qing's words, Li He then described to him in detail how he discovered this rare treasure.

"It was quite a coincidence. My friends and I had originally intended to go into the mountains to search for a few century-old nourishing fruit trees, but on the way, we stumbled upon several Golden Wind Wolves that had reached the upper level of the first rank. Forced into a corner, we had no choice but to enter a valley, using the terrain to delay until we could unleash our trump card. Who could have imagined that the top-grade talismans we had originally intended to activate to kill the monsters would instead create a crack in the valley..."

"That fissure was extremely deep, and a chilling air emanated from it. After we used the power of the talismans to kill the Golden Wind Wolves, we immediately realized something was amiss, so we managed to enter the fissure. Unexpectedly, there was another world beneath it, connected to a cave. Because we had just fought the Golden Wind Wolves, our mana was severely depleted, so we recovered our mana outside before entering the cave..."

Li He suddenly stopped talking here and glanced at Chen Qing's face. Chen Qing said, "Keep talking!"

"Yes Yes."

Li He smiled awkwardly before continuing.

"The cave is enormous, hundreds of square meters in size, yet it's incredibly flat. In the deepest part of the cave, there's a first-order perfectly cultivated cold stone python lurking. This python's cultivation is so deep, it's already halfway to the second order. As soon as we entered the cave, it noticed us..."

At this point, Li He smiled bitterly.

Without him saying it, Chen Qing could guess that this would be a tough battle. A python-like monster that was half a step into the second level had the most tenacious vitality, and even a first-level top-grade talisman would find it difficult to kill it.

"Although we were all late-stage cultivators, we were still powerless against a half-step second-stage demonic python. We could only fight and retreat. During the battle, we discovered that where the demonic python was lurking, there was a small pool of cold marrow fluid."

Having said that, Li He finally revealed the purpose of his visit.

"Senior, this cold marrow fluid is one of the three great foundation-building spiritual fluids. It can increase the success rate of foundation-building by 30%. What do you think, Senior?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing's face showed a hint of excitement, but he was secretly disgusted in his heart. He was now a great cultivator who had completed the foundation building, and he was practicing fire-based exercises. This cold marrow liquid had no effect on him. However, the cultivation level he showed on the surface was only the ninth level of Qi Refining, and he certainly could not ignore the spiritual objects of the foundation building.

After thinking about it, Chen Qing said.

"If we obtain this cold marrow fluid, how should we distribute it?"

Upon hearing this, Li He immediately felt certain that this matter was likely to be done. He was visiting, so how could he not be well prepared? He immediately said.

"According to our observations at the time, the small pond was at least half a square meter in size. Even if there wasn't much cold marrow fluid in it, it was more than enough for us to share."

As he spoke, Li He saw Chen Qing raise his eyebrows and immediately added.

"However, senior, don't worry. The final distribution will definitely be based on the effort put into killing the Frost Stone Python."

Chen Qing's brows relaxed when he heard this, and then he spoke.

"That Frost Stone Python has already taken half a step into the second stage, but it's a bit tricky. Although I've been in the ninth stage of Qi Refining for many years, this kind of monster is still too troublesome."

Upon hearing this, Li He smiled and spoke.

"Don't worry, senior. I'm not talented, but my talisman-making skills have improved recently. My success rate in refining top-grade talismans has reached 30%. Even if that Frost Stone Python has taken a half-step into the second stage, it's not truly second-stage. A top-grade talisman is enough to injure it. Then, we can join forces and kill that demonic python easily."

Feeling the confidence in Li He's words, Chen Qing looked at Li He again, and suddenly felt that the word "death" was imprinted on this guy's forehead in blood red.

Fellow Daoist Li, being overconfident is the easiest way to get into trouble.

Shaking his head secretly in his heart, Chen Qing had made up his mind to go this time.

He really didn't think much of the cold marrow fluid, but he could make some plans for the cold stone python.

He had previously acquired a physical training technique called "Hundred Beasts Skill". With the help of this technique, he had cultivated his physique to perfection. However, now that he had reached the foundation-building stage, a perfect physique was no longer sufficient.

Therefore, he needs to collect some blood essence from second-level monsters to help him continue to improve his physical cultivation.

There is no doubt that Chen Qing took a fancy to this cold stone python that was about to break through to the second level.

Although there are second-level monster blood in Wanren City, the number is very small and cannot meet Chen Qing's needs for body refining. Wanren Mountain is mainly populated by first-level monsters. If you want to find second-level monsters, you can only go to the Great Wasteland behind Wanren Mountain. There is a third-level monster king in that place. Chen Qing, a small second-level cultivator, dare not take such a big risk to go in.

Therefore, this cold stone python came at the right time.

"In that case, when will Young Master Li return to the mountains? This will allow me to make preparations."

Upon hearing this, Li He immediately replied.

"Senior, gather at the east gate in three days."

Chen Qing nodded to show that he understood. Li He said nothing more after bowing and then stood up to leave.

Chen Qing watched Li He leave quietly, his eyes as calm as water.

With his current cultivation level of perfect foundation building, there is almost no existence in the entire Wanren Mountain that can pose a threat to him. Those second-level monsters basically stay in the depths of Wanren Mountain, and the area explored by Li He and others is at most in the middle. Even if he really encounters a second-level monster, as long as it is not in the late second level, Chen Qing believes that he can deal with it with his means.

But just in case, you still have to prepare some trump cards.

Just as Chen Qing was thinking, footsteps suddenly came from upstairs, and then Xu Lingxin came down the stairs. She looked at Chen Qing and said.

"Chen Lang, the terrain of Wanren Mountain is complex and there are many monsters. You must be extremely careful when going there."

Chen Qing was disturbed by Xu Lingxin's words, but he could only smile bitterly and then said.

"Don't worry, your husband is now a cultivator at the Fake Dan realm. Unless he encounters a third-order existence, he will be able to escape unscathed."

While listening, Xu Lingxin walked behind Chen Qing, put her hands on his shoulders and gently kneaded them.

"Well, Lingxin's skills have become more and more perfect."

Chen Qing felt a sense of comfort in his upper shoulders, and immediately narrowed his eyes, then began to praise.

And Xu Lingxin smiled.

"loquacious."
