My Optimized Immortal Life

Chen Qing carefully put the fist-sized cold crystal into the storage bag. Don't be fooled by its fist-sized size, its grade is as high as the second grade, which corresponds to the spiritual object of the foundation-building period.

Although the grade of the cold marrow fluid has reached the second level, it is actually just a derivative of the cold crystal. Although it can assist Qi-refining cultivators in building their foundation, in terms of value, that pool of cold marrow fluid is not as good as the cold crystal that Chen Qing obtained.

Although Chen Qing had already prepared for great gains here, he was still extremely happy to get a piece of cold crystal.

Although Han Jing is an ice-type spiritual material, cultivators who practice water-type techniques can still refine it. Its effect is even better than the elixir that assists in foundation-building practice.

If Xu Lingxin were to refine this fist-sized piece of cold crystal, it would probably directly push her cultivation to the middle stage of foundation building. Even if she worked harder, she could use it to break through the bottleneck of the late stage of foundation building. Even if she couldn't break through, there was still cold marrow fluid available for refining.

In this way, Xu Lingxin's magical power will be able to catch up with him in a short time.

Chen Qing looked at the underground cave again. Although it was underground, the entire Wanren Mountain did not belong to the category of extremely cold places. Therefore, when Li He first told him that there was a cold stone python here, Chen Qing realized that something was wrong.

Now it seems that it is true. Treasures from heaven and earth like the Cold Crystal are rare, and their rarity is only second to the Essence of Earth Fire.

He got the cold stone python eggs and cold marrow fluid, and also got an unexpected harvest of cold crystals. There was also a python corpse outside waiting for him to divide. This time, he made a fortune.

Chen Qing smiled. In fact, the value of these things was just like that. If he hadn't been low-key and disguised himself as a Qi-refining cultivator, with his cultivation level of the Fake Dan Realm, he would definitely be treated as an honored guest in Wanren City. Various resources would be just a matter of a word. Of course, the most likely thing would be for him to be won over by the four major sects.

After all, he is a cultivator in the False Core Stage. If he is provided with some Core Forming Spiritual Objects, perhaps his own sect can gain another Core Forming True Person.

However, Chen Qing also knew that his secret was too big, and if it was exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

As his thoughts gradually faded, Chen Qing shook his head, threw away these bad thoughts, then turned and walked outside the cave, where there was a python corpse waiting for him to harvest.

After walking for a while, they found a python corpse that was more than ten meters long lying quietly in a space where several stone pillars were clustered. The strong smell of blood, along with the second-level aura of the giant python itself, spread all around and had not dissipated until now.

Chen Qing walked slowly to the python corpse, looked it over from head to tail, and then became a little confused. Where should he start cutting it?

He took out several top-grade flying swords and after thinking for a while, he decided to start cutting from the head. After all, the skull of the cold stone python was the hardest part of its body except for its tail.

Under Chen Qing's control, the top-grade flying sword turned into several sword lights, constantly passing through the head of the cold stone python. From time to time, flames flickered at the intersection of the sword blade and the python scales.

The scales of the entire cold stone python are also second-grade spiritual materials. They are extremely hard and can be used as auxiliary materials for refining spiritual weapons. Once the skull is removed, we can start refining spiritual weapons.

Chen Qing was a fake Dan-stage cultivator who didn't even have a spiritual weapon on him. If this were to be made public, he would be laughed at by the immortal cultivation world.

After working for more than an hour, the blades of several top-grade flying swords were blunted before Chen Qing cut off all the scales and skull of the cold stone python. The skull was especially hard. If he hadn't used his magic power to protect the flying sword, it would have broken.

After the scales were cut off, Chen Qing separated the remaining python meat. He put the good meat into his personal storage bag, ready to take it back to the cave to enjoy it with Xu Lingxin. He put the rest into another storage bag, ready to sell it in the market.

The same goes for the remaining python bones. He also plans to use the tailbone of the python to refine a spiritual weapon. As for the remaining bones, although they are also of the second grade, their quality cannot be compared with that of the head and tail.

However, Chen Qing can use it to practice. After all, although his weapon refining attainments have reached the second level with the help of his innate ability, he has not yet put it into practice. Using these python bones to practice, and then using the skull and tailbone to refine, can make the quality of the spiritual weapon better.

It took Chen Qing nearly two hours to deal with the entire python corpse. Although he was not tired, his flying swords were almost scrapped.

Tsk tsk, after returning, these flying swords can only be re-refined.

After tidying up and confirming that nothing was left out, Chen Qing left the underground cave.

After returning to Wanren City, Chen Qing first went to Wanbao Pavilion and sold all the python meat. Then he bought a few pieces of second-level spiritual iron to refine spiritual weapons, and then returned to Xinghua Lane.

When he pushed open the gate, Xu Lingxin was not sitting on the stone chair as usual. Chen Qing knew at a glance that she was in seclusion practicing again.

However, Chen Qing did not disturb her. Instead, he first set up a formation in the yard, then lit a fire in the middle of the yard and set up a grill. After all the preparations were ready, he took out the demon python meat, skewered it with a flying sword, and roasted it on the fire.

This fire is not simple. The fuel used is first-level spiritual wood, and the flame is also spiritual fire. If ordinary fire is used, the meat probably won't be cooked.

Even though he used spiritual fire to roast it, it took Chen Qing nearly half an hour to roast a piece of snake meat that was only the size of a fist.

He took the prepared plate from the stone table nearby, placed the roasted snake meat on it, and then Chen Qing continued.

When Xu Lingxin came out of the retreat room, what she saw was Chen Qing sitting on the ground, roasting snake meat in front of the fire.

The tempting fragrance filled the air, but Xu Lingxin looked at Chen Qing and couldn't help laughing.

"Madam, stop laughing and come over here."

Chen Qing said helplessly.

Xu Lingxin walked over slowly, looked at the several plates of barbecue on the stone table, and smiled.

"Husband, where did you find this beast meat?"

"Of course, I hunted it myself. This is the meat of a second-level monster. Madam, why don't you taste it quickly?"

As Chen Qing spoke, he picked up a piece of roasted snake meat from the plate and stuffed it into his mouth. Immediately, his mouth was filled with fragrance.

"Oh, second-level monster meat. This thing is rare even in Tianyun Sect. I didn't expect that after so many years, I can still eat it."

Xu Lingxin smiled, reached out and picked up a piece of snake meat and put it into her mouth.

After a slight chew, the fresh fragrance filled the mouth and nose in an instant. Chen Qing did not sprinkle any spices on the roasted snake meat, and even used only a little salt. Even so, the freshness and fragrance of the snake meat itself had already surpassed most delicacies in the mortal world.

Moreover, the subtlety of the roasted snake meat is more than that. After swallowing the snake meat into the stomach, abundant blood and spiritual energy will emanate from it, gradually filling the whole body, making Xu Lingxin feel warm all over.

Although the spiritual energy in the snake meat is too scarce compared to the spiritual energy absorbed during cultivation, its purity far exceeds the spiritual energy scattered between heaven and earth. With a little practice of the exercises, one can refine the spiritual energy into magic power and improve one's own cultivation.

Xu Lingxin smiled with satisfaction, then looked at Chen Qing, her eyes full of tenderness.

She is now extremely glad for the decision she made.
