My Optimized Immortal Life

After Chen Qing performed the Water Dragon Technique, the number of bloodthirsty birds following the flying boat suddenly dropped by 70%, and they no longer posed a threat. Even if they were still chasing the flying boat, there were only a few of them, and Li He and Jiang Ziyun could deal with them alone.

The two men looked at Chen Qing with admiration on their faces. He was indeed a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining. His methods were far beyond the reach of these two guys who had just entered the late stage.

Yunxiao and Chen Xing also came over to express their gratitude. This was the first time they encountered the bloodthirsty sparrow. If it weren't for Li He's talisman and the big boss Chen Qing's protection, they would probably not be able to escape from the encirclement of the bloodthirsty sparrow.

"Thanks to Senior Jiang's intervention, otherwise, with the speed of this bloodthirsty bird, it would have been surrounded again in a short while."

Chen Qing waved his hand.

"It's just a small favor. Fellow Daoist Yunxiao, please continue to control the flying boat."

"it is good."

Yunxiao replied that he had been somewhat dissatisfied with Chen Qing's joining before, but after seeing Chen Qing's strength, even if he had a hundred guts, he would not dare to say a bad word about Chen Qing.

He understood that with the strength Chen Qing had currently displayed, it was enough to deal with either him or Chen Xing, and Chen Qing's strength was obviously more than that. If Chen Qing wanted to kill them, it probably wouldn't take too much effort.

This made Yunxiao realize that he would have no chance of getting that pool of cold marrow fluid.

The flying boat continued to move forward in the mountains and forests, but this time it did not encounter any monsters. Chen Qing's goal had been achieved. Letting monsters attack the flying boat again would undoubtedly cause trouble for himself. Therefore, he used his spiritual sense to drive away all the monsters around him on the way.

With the escort of a foundation-building cultivator, the flying boat's journey was extremely smooth. After just one hour, they arrived at the valley where Yunxiao and the others were.

"Here is the place."

After taking a look at the terrain below, Yunxiao immediately controlled the flying boat to descend and landed directly in the valley.

Chen Qing looked at the surrounding environment with curiosity on his face.

This valley is not big, but it is surrounded by cliffs that are more than ten feet high, and there are trees surrounding the cliffs. There is no sunlight, but the entrance is several feet in size. There are many pits scattered around. Even though weeds have long grown in the pits, you can vaguely see the hard battle that Yunxiao and others encountered here not long ago.

And under the rock wall about 20 to 20 feet wide next to the entrance, an extremely narrow crack appeared.

"Is this the crack in the ground?"

Chen Qing asked, and Li He nodded and responded.

"Go in from here, and walk about a hundred meters inward, and you will enter the cave."

Hearing this, Chen Qing nodded, got off the flying boat and walked towards the crack in the ground. As soon as he approached the crack, he felt a gust of cold air coming towards him, but to him, this cold air was like a breeze blowing on his face.

After feeling it for a while, Chen Qing confirmed that the cold air was emanating from the cracks in the ground, but it could only slightly lower the surrounding temperature and would not have any effect on mortals. The five of them were all cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining and could basically ignore the cold air.

Yunxiao put the flying boat into the storage bag, looked at everyone and asked.

"My fellow Daoists, we were suddenly attacked by the bloodthirsty bird earlier and are not in good condition. It would be better for us to rest here for a while and recover our magic power before entering the cave to explore."

Although Yunxiao addressed himself to fellow Taoists, his eyes were directed at Chen Qing. After realizing Chen Qing's strength, Yunxiao knew very well that even though he still seemed to be the mastermind, in fact, his orders all depended on whether Chen Qing gave him face. If Chen Qing did not give it, then Yunxiao would have no way out.

However, Chen Qing did not have any objections, which made Yunxiao feel relieved.

The five of them first explored the valley and confirmed that there was no threat. Then they sat down in front of the crack in the ground and practiced their skills to recover their consumed magic power.

Chen Qing also found a place to sit down and pretended to practice his skills to restore his magic power. He had just cast a powerful first-grade spell, which consumed a lot of magic power.

After sitting cross-legged in front of the crack for a while and recovering their magic power, everyone stood up and looked at the crack.

Yunxiao looked at everyone and said loudly.

"With Senior Jiang joining us this time, we won't have to fear that Frost Stone Python anymore. Everyone, Frost Marrow Fluid, a rare treasure that can increase the chance of building a foundation by 30%, is not common. And with that amount of Frost Marrow Fluid, everyone here will definitely have a portion..."

Seeing that Yunxiao wanted to continue speaking, Chen Qing immediately interrupted him.

"It's better to enter the cave as soon as possible."

"it is good."

Yunxiao's originally excited expression suddenly froze, but since it was Chen Qing who spoke, he could only accept it silently.

Everyone walked into the crack in the ground, Yunxiao and Chen Xing walked in front, Li He and Jiang Ziyun were in the middle, and Chen Qing walked at the end.

The passage in the crack was not big, but it was large enough for them to walk through. However, it was surrounded by cold and dark rock walls, and the sunlight from outside could not penetrate deep enough. Just like before, when Yunxiao and others came in for the first time, they could only use lighting magic to illuminate the area.

It was different now. Yunxiao had already made preparations in advance. He took out a lantern from his storage bag. As his magic power was injected into it, the lantern suddenly shone brightly, illuminating the surroundings. The situation within a range of fifty meters ahead was clearly visible.

With the light provided by the lantern, everyone's journey naturally became much faster. After only a few incense sticks of time, their eyes suddenly became clear. A cave that was hundreds of meters in size and more than ten feet high appeared in front of them.

Dozens of thick stone pillars are scattered throughout the cave, supporting the entire cave, but you can also see a dozen broken stone pillars lying across the center of the cave.

Obviously, this was the battlefield where Yunxiao and others fought against the Cold Stone Python last time.

However, after stepping into the cave, Chen Qing's expression changed, and there was a hint of pity in his eyes when he looked at Yunxiao and others.

Seeing those broken stone pillars, even Yunxiao couldn't help showing a solemn expression. Recalling the memory of the last battle with the cold stone python, he took out several magic weapons from the storage bag.

The remaining three people, Li He, also took out their magic weapons, with solemn expressions, preparing to fight with the demonic python.

Chen Qing couldn't help but curl his lips, lamenting his bad luck. In his spiritual sense, the aura of the monster deep in the cave was already a complete second-level monster, and there was no sense of weakness at all. This meant that the monster python had been promoted to a second-level monster.

According to what Li He had said, the stone python had been injured by them, but now, after only a few days, its injuries had healed. It was very likely that it had consumed the cold marrow fluid. Given the size of the monster, it must have consumed a large amount of cold marrow fluid. It was estimated that most of the small amount of cold marrow fluid had already entered the monster python's belly.

However, this demonic python has already advanced to a second-level demonic beast. Yunxiao and his four companions are definitely no match for it. This plan to obtain the cold marrow fluid is likely to fail.

But this is not a problem, I can come back next time.

For Chen Qing, a demon python that had been promoted to the second level was naturally not a threat, but he did not want to expose his cultivation level of the Foundation Establishment Stage in front of Yunxiao and others, so he had to consider how to escape later.

After all, it was a second-level monster. How could he, a casual cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining, defeat it?
