My Optimized Immortal Life

After avoiding trouble, Chen Qing controlled the flying magic weapon to rise into the air, and then headed towards Wanren City. The journey was much smoother from then on. Not only did he not encounter other cultivators, he didn't even run into many monsters.

It was not until Chen Qing approached the tall city wall that almost surrounded the entire eastern side of Wanren Mountain that he saw monks passing by from the sky or the ground.

Flying is prohibited in Wanren City, so Chen Qing controlled the flying magic weapon to land outside the city wall. After paying the entrance fee of one spirit stone, he entered the city.

The horses returned to the courtyard without stopping. The surrounding courtyards were still quiet. One of them was Li He's cave, but he was probably still on his way back to Wanren City.

Shaking his head, Chen Qing waved his hand to lift the ban covering the courtyard, opened the gate, and stepped in.

An antique wooden house is nestled at the back of the courtyard, with walls extending from behind it to all sides, surrounded by vines and unknown wild flowers blooming in between.

And under the tall osmanthus tree, Xu Lingxin was sitting upright on a stone chair, fiddling with the tea set on the stone table.

This seemed to be the thing she cared about most besides cultivation. Chen Qing didn't know why Xu Lingxin liked this thing, but he didn't reject it.

Seeing Chen Qing open the gate, Xu Lingxin, who was sitting on the stone chair, turned around immediately, then couldn't help but smile. She stood up, walked to Chen Qing, tidied up his messy clothes, and then said with disgust.

"Chen Lang, where did you come from? You're covered in dust."

As she spoke, she turned her fingers lightly, and a dust-clearing spell hit Chen Qing, and all the dust was gone.

Chen Qing stood there without moving, just looking at Xu Lingxin quietly without saying a word, until Xu Lingxin's face turned red, then he withdrew his gaze.

He smiled.

"Madam, why are you blushing again? Or are you not used to your husband looking at you like this?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Lingxin glared at him, then turned her head, ignored him, and walked into the house.

Seeing this, Chen Qing smiled and shook his head. He didn't go up to say anything. Instead, he came to the stone table and looked at the tea set on the table.

This tea set is just an ordinary item. Even the tea in the teapot contains the tea that he and Xu Lingxin found in the mortal city when they were in Zixia Mountain.

Chen Qing picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup, then picked up the teacup and took a small sip.

The bitter tea went straight down his throat and turned into a cool feeling in his stomach, making him feel refreshed.

"Although it's not a spiritual tea, it tastes pretty good."

Chen Qing sighed, and he turned his head to look at the courtyard again. The wild flowers were blooming, the osmanthus trees were standing tall, the pond was deep and quiet, and there was a beautiful woman quietly looking at him by the window. He suddenly felt a warm feeling filling his heart.

This is the life he has always wanted.

He couldn't help but smile and sipped the tea in his hand.

…………

The next day, Chen Qing left the courtyard early in the morning and went to the market to buy a spirit beast bag. Then he went out of the city again, preparing to collect the cold stone python eggs that he had not had time to collect yesterday.

Since Yunxiao had already led the way yesterday, Chen Qing could now fly directly to the valley where the crack was located.

He rode on a flying magic tool, adjusted the fluctuation of his magic power to the tenth level of Qi Refining, and then flew through the mountains in a swagger.

Chen Qing was not in a hurry. He had already set up a formation at the entrance of the crack in the ground, so he didn't need to worry too much about any cultivators or monsters discovering that place.

However, what Chen Qing did not expect was that he ran into a monster on his way forward.

In mid-air, Chen Qing stood on a flying magic weapon, and about dozens of meters in front of him, a black eagle-like monster with a wingspan of several meters and a body as strong as a calf was staring at him with cold eyes.

Iron-winged Eagle, a first-grade superior monster.

Looking at the giant eagle not far away, Chen Qing was not nervous at all. It was just a first-grade top-grade monster and posed no threat to him. However, this eagle seemed to regard him as food.

Seeing that Chen Qing had not moved for a long time, the Iron-Winged Eagle was the first to lose its patience. It flapped its huge wings and rushed towards Chen Qing like a black stream of light.

However, the next moment, the black light suddenly stopped, revealing the huge body of the Iron-Winged Eagle. However, in the eyes of the Iron-Winged Eagle, there was a hint of extremely human fear.

In the Iron-Winged Eagle's perception, the aura of the human in front of it suddenly became extremely terrifying, comparable to the second-level monsters in the depths of the mountains, or even more so. Driven by the instinct of the beast, the Iron-Winged Eagle flapped its wings again, but flew backwards at a very fast speed.

Behind it, someone who silently suppressed the fluctuations of his fake elixir-stage magic power shook his head and said with disdain.

"How boring! He ran away without even fighting."

Half an hour later, Chen Qing arrived at the valley where he was yesterday.

The environment here has not changed much compared to yesterday, which is good news.

Putting away the flying magic weapon, Chen Qing expanded his spiritual sense and walked into the crack in the ground.

The situation in the underground tunnel is not optimistic. Because the cold stone python made too much noise yesterday, many cracks have spread on the stone walls of the tunnel, and some places have even collapsed. Fortunately, Chen Qing had set up a simple stabilizing formation in the tunnel when he left yesterday, so the tunnel did not collapse. Otherwise, he would not be able to enter the cave now.

After walking for almost several incense sticks of time, Chen Qing finally left the crack in the ground and entered the underground cave.

In his spiritual consciousness, not far away, the body of the cold stone python was still lying there, without missing anything.

There was no rush to deal with the body of the demon python. He had already collected the blood, which was the easiest to lose, and would deal with the python bones and skin later.

He had to first check on the status of the cold stone python eggs in the cold marrow fluid pool in the deepest part of the cave.

As his thoughts flowed, Chen Qing soared into the air, transformed into a beam of light, and flew straight into the depths of the cave.

There was no one else in the cave, so it was safer than outside. Chen Qing could naturally use the abilities of a cultivator in the False Dan stage at will.

After just a short while, he reached the deepest part of the cave.

The half-square-sized cold pool was in the center and was extremely conspicuous. Chen Qing took a look and saw a gray egg half the size of a human head emerging from the cold marrow fluid.

And by the pond, the formation he had set up was intact.

After removing the formation, Chen Qing waved his hand and put the cold marrow fluid that soaked the cold stone python eggs into the spirit beast bag.

The spirit beast bag he bought had an internal space of more than ten cubic meters, which was more than enough to hold the cold pond.

After all the cold marrow fluid and cold stone python eggs were taken away, only a half-square deep pit remained on the spot, and nothing else was seen.

Seeing this, Chen Qing couldn't help but frown. Most of the natural treasures like the Cold Marrow Liquid were found in places with deep cold air, and could only be condensed after various coincidences. Although there was some cold air in this underground cave, it was not strong. Logically, it should not be able to produce a natural treasure like the Cold Marrow Liquid.

unless……

Chen Qing released his spiritual sense and probed into the surrounding stone walls, and immediately found a clue.

He waved his hand and cast a spell, heading straight into the deep pit of the original cold pond.

With a loud bang, the half-square-meter deep pit was immediately blown open, revealing the rocks underneath.

Seeing this, Chen Qing took out a top-grade flying sword from his storage bag, manipulated it to sink into the rock at the bottom of the deep pit, and slowly peeled off the rock.

During this process, cold air continued to emanate from the peeled rocks.

A moment later, Chen Qing took out a square crystal as big as a fist, which was azure blue all over, from the bottom of the deep pit.

Sure enough, it was Han Jing!
