My Optimized Immortal Life

This issue is also one of the reasons why cultivators are divided into different qualifications. After all, a cultivator with a single spiritual root only has a single spiritual root, and when practicing a certain method that suits his attributes, it is as if he has divine help, and his cultivation speed is extremely fast. If he has two spiritual roots, this speed will be halved.

Chen Qing has four spiritual roots. At his level, when he absorbs spiritual energy and condenses it into magic power during cultivation, he will inevitably refine magic power of other attributes. After all, he absorbs spiritual energy through spiritual roots. Unless Chen Qing can obtain a top-level immortal cultivation technique and cultivate to the stage of transformation, he can ensure that he only condenses magic power of a single attribute when condensing magic power. With his conditions, he can only say that he doesn't need to think too much about it.

The martial arts method must be exchanged, but it does not need to be from a big sect. Chen Qing has natural abilities, so there is no need for him to join a sect to obtain the martial arts method. He only needs to pay a sufficient price to exchange the martial arts method, and then use his natural abilities to optimize it. This way he can also avoid being tricked by the martial arts method and being controlled by others after practicing.

Of course, these are all things to come. For now, Chen Qing still has to focus all his energy on breaking through his cultivation level.

As the medicinal power of the Heqi Pill continued to transform into mana, Chen Qing's meridians were slowly being opened up. However, since part of the mana was offset by itself, this process actually consumed a lot of mana. If there were no Heqi Pill to support it, with Chen Qing's own mana reserves, his mana would have been exhausted before his meridians were even half opened up.

To break through the bottleneck, more than one meridian needs to be opened up. Generally speaking, it is a large meridian composed of several small meridians. The practice in the Qi Refining period is mainly to open up all the meridians in the human body so that the exercises can circulate in the body in small and large circles. Only in this way can a sufficient amount of gaseous magic power be accumulated for the cultivator to break through the Qi Refining period and enter the Foundation Establishment period.

Chen Qing had been busy opening up his meridians and had not paid attention to the passage of time. Another two or three hours had passed. Fortunately, he had successfully opened up several small meridians, reducing the bottleneck a little. However, the medicinal power of the Heqi Pill was also exhausted in the process. Seeing this, Chen Qing had already expected that one Heqi Pill would not allow him to break through. He would need at least three.

After manipulating his magic power to open up his meridians for several hours, even though Chen Qing was a time traveler and his spiritual awareness surpassed that of other cultivators, he still felt sleepy at this time. So he rested for a few hours before continuing to open up his meridians.

After swallowing another Qi-refining pill, Chen Qing closed his eyes and looked inward with his spiritual consciousness, practicing his skills to absorb the medicinal power, and controlling his magic power to continuously impact his meridians. He still had five small meridians to open up, and with the medicinal power of the Qi-refining pill, he could just open up the remaining five small meridians. After opening up these five small meridians, he could begin to try to open up the big meridian, so that he could enter the fourth level of Qi Refining.

Judging from the current progress, it should take about two days. No wonder those foundation-building cultivators have to go into seclusion for several months. The more advanced the cultivation, the more time is required.

Chen Qing sighed inwardly, then regained his composure and immersed himself in cultivation.

In this way, a day passed by unknowingly. Chen Qing stayed in the basement and didn't have to think about these things. He could just concentrate on breaking through.

After completely opening up the small meridians, Chen Qing circulated his magic power again. After confirming that the magic power could flow freely in these small meridians, he took a deep breath. Next, he would make a real breakthrough.

Someone poured out a Qi-combining pill, and Chen Qing swallowed it. The abundant medicinal power exploded in his body, and was then refined into magic power by Chen Qing, which was transferred to the meridians. He continuously impacted the meridians here, causing them to expand and accommodate the passage of magic power. This was a slow and steady process, but it was somewhat dangerous, especially when opening up small meridians. If too much magic power was input, the meridians might burst in an instant, and that would cause internal injuries, requiring seven or eight days of recuperation. This was even more true when opening up large meridians, and the large meridians were the hubs connecting the small meridians, so one had to be more careful. If something went wrong, the magic power might flow back, and one might even be in danger of death. Of course, Chen Qing did not have this possibility. With his magic power reserves, at most he would injure the meridians, and it was impossible to cause a backflow of magic power, a risk that only occurred when one broke through the tenth level of Qi Refining to the state of great perfection from the ninth level.

Although the medicinal power of the Heqi Pill was absorbed and converted into magic power by Chen Qing through his practice, in fact, Chen Qing could only convert 80% of the medicinal power, and the remaining 20% ​​was absorbed by his physical body. Only when he practiced the technique normally after the breakthrough could he slowly absorb these medicinal powers. The remaining medicinal power that could not be absorbed accumulated in the end and formed pill poison.

I heard that the elixir poison is harmful to breaking through the foundation building stage, but Chen Qing has no other choice now. After all, he has not even reached the fourth level of Qi Refining, and it is too early for him to consider the side effects of the elixir poison.

No, one Qi-combining pill is not enough!

After several hours, the medicinal power of the Heqi Pill had been consumed, but less than one-third of Chen Qing's meridian was opened.

Just as he had expected at the beginning, three Qi-combining pills were not enough for him to break through. Fortunately, he still had three.

Another Qi-combining pill entered his stomach, and the endless medicinal power once again filled his meridians. Chen Qing hurriedly practiced his skills to absorb the medicinal power and continue to break through.

A day later, accompanied by an illusory roar in his ears, the flow of magic power in Chen Qing's body was endless, constantly bombarding the last obstacle. Suddenly, the bottleneck was completely broken through, and the magic power connected this meridian with the other small meridians, and there was no longer any obstruction.

At the same time, Chen Qing also began to practice the fourth level of the Fiery Fire Skill. The remaining medicinal power of the Heqi Pill was refined by him, and the magic power in his body also increased dramatically because the fourth level's running route passed through this newly opened meridian.

After absorbing all the remaining medicinal power, Chen Qing's magic power has not yet reached the upper limit of his dantian.

He was delighted to see this, and using his spiritual sense to sense it, he discovered that his dantian had also expanded due to the increase in his magic power. Now his dantian could accommodate about three times the magic power of when he was at the third level of Qi Refining.

Opening his eyes, Chen Qing let out a long breath. Today, he finally reached the fourth level of Qi Refining, one step closer to building a foundation.

He sat cross-legged and practiced for more than half an hour, filling the remaining space in his dantian before he was ready to come out.

When he came into the house from the basement, he saw that the window was already bright. He immediately pushed open the door and looked up. It was just the time when the sun was rising and the air was filled with purple air.

"It's a nice day."

A smile appeared on Chen Qing's lips.

Then he walked out of the courtyard and asked the monks around him, only to find out that he had been in seclusion for more than two days. At the same time, the Yuncang Mountain Secret Realm had become even more popular.

With the exploration of a large number of cultivators, various magical instruments and jade slips of exercises are constantly brought out, resulting in a drop in the price of magical instruments in the market.

After Chen Qing learned about this, he couldn't help but feel fortunate that he sold the black iron sword early. If he had waited until now, he would have lost a lot of spirit stones.
