My Optimized Immortal Life

Three days later, Chen Qing walked out of the side room and couldn't help but stretch his whole body to relieve the fatigue brought by refining the spiritual weapon.

After a moment, he looked inward at his dantian and saw a palm-sized white bone shield hanging next to the Chiyang Sword, and nodded with satisfaction.

The newly refined protective spiritual weapon is a shield. Its grade is slightly lower than that of the Chiyang Sword, and it is only a mid-grade spiritual weapon. However, it is enough to resist attacks from spiritual weapons and spells of the same level, so it is enough for Chen Qing to use.

Since the main material of this shield is taken from the tailbone of the cold stone python, Chen Qing named it the White Bone Shield.

For attack, he has the Red Sun Sword, for defense, he has the White Bone Shield, and with the second-level spells that Chen Qing knows, now, even if he encounters a cultivator in the False Dan stage with the same cultivation level as him, Chen Qing can ensure that he can escape unscathed.

If the cultivator's cultivation has not yet reached the late stage of foundation building, Chen Qing is confident that he can kill him.

With this strength, I will have a certain ability to protect myself in the upcoming beast tide, and I can even participate in it and gain benefits.

Chen Qing's thoughts gradually began to arise.

Although he now possesses the Yin-Yang Transformation Technique that can directly lead to the Nascent Soul Realm, and seems to have broken free from the limitations of the technique, he has actually reached his current limit.

His cultivation had reached the False Pill Realm, and his main technique had been transformed into the Yin-Yang Transformation Technique. His magic power had reached its current limit. With his current foundation, if he tried to form a pill, he would have at least a 60% chance of success, but he did not do so.

First, the spiritual vein conditions did not allow it. In Song State, the spiritual veins that could provide a breakthrough to the Jindan stage were all controlled by the four major sects. Naturally, Chen Qing could not go to another sect's headquarters to break through.

Secondly, his physical cultivation was still insufficient. He had previously used the Hundred Beasts Technique, a physical training method, to elevate his physical body to the peak of the first stage. However, after breaking through the foundation building stage, he focused all his energy on cultivating his mana and the Four Arts of Immortal Cultivation, so his physical training fell behind.

The third is the lack of materials for refining the natal magic weapon.

Core Formation is the third major threshold on the path of cultivation. At this stage, the cultivator will be able to refine a natal magic weapon that is compatible with his own life, and the natal magic weapon will be of great benefit to future cultivation. Therefore, many cultivators will refine their natal magic weapon when they just break through Core Formation.

Although it is only the initial refining, the materials required must be at least of the third level. Only in this way can you keep up with the cultivators after they are promoted to the Jindan stage and save the time of nourishment.

Chen Qing couldn't help but frown.

The spiritual vein actually does not restrict him much. He has quite a few spiritual stones on him. The worst that can happen is that when he breaks through, he will just have to break a large number of spiritual stones to increase the concentration of spiritual energy, which is just a bit costly.

The problem of physical cultivation has actually been solved. As the Yin-Yang Transformation Technique is a top-level technique, it naturally has methods of cultivation that can improve the physical body. However, Chen Qing has only been practicing the Yin-Yang Transformation Technique for a short time and has not yet started practicing this method.

As for the third-level spiritual materials, Chen Qing has been practicing in the territory of Song for so many years, and he has never heard of any place producing such high-level practice resources.

It goes without saying that it is monopolized by the four major sects.

Therefore, if Chen Qing wants to get third-level resources, he can only set his sights on the third-level beast king.

Thinking of this, he felt a headache again.

The demon beasts that can cultivate to the third level have basically awakened extraordinary bloodlines and possessed the magical powers of their bloodlines. Even compared with the natal magic weapons of Jindan cultivators, they are not inferior. This is not something that Chen Qing can currently match.

Therefore, this idea had to be abandoned. If it really didn't work, Chen Qing could only break through the Jindan stage first, then look for materials, refine his own magic weapon, and then nourish it with magic power.

However, now that there are signs of a beast tide, it means that a third-level monster has walked out of the Great Wilderness Swamp and started to unify Wanren Mountain.

Chen Qing was actually not worried at all about whether Wanren City could withstand the beast tide. After all, Wanren City was jointly funded by the four major sects. If it could be breached by the beast tide, it would be ridiculous.

First, improve your physical cultivation to the peak of the second level, and then see if you can find a way to obtain third-level materials.

Chen Qing sighed. As his cultivation level increased, the disadvantages of being a casual cultivator became more and more obvious. Unfortunately, his natural talents and abilities determined that he could not join the four major sects, not to mention that Xu Lingxin was there.

Unless he builds his own power.

But it is not easy to establish a force out of thin air. As a casual cultivator, he has no resources and no connections. Even if he sets up a framework, it can easily fall apart in an accident.

Of course, the most important thing is that establishing a power does not benefit him much now.

He is now at the Fake Dan realm. If he wants to establish a force, he can at most recruit some foundation-building cultivators. In Wanren City, most foundation-building cultivators have established families and become local ancestors. They all have more or less some connections with the City Lord's Mansion. If Chen Qing casually recruits them, he may be sold to the City Lord's Mansion by these cultivators. This will expose his identity, which is inappropriate.

What's more, what he needs now are third-level spiritual materials. These foundation-building ancestors may not even be able to come up with second-level spiritual materials, let alone third-level spiritual materials?

Even if there were one or two foundation-building families who happened to collect third-level spiritual materials, they would definitely be kept strictly confidential or handed over, and there was no way they would fall into Chen Qing's hands.

Although Wanbao Pavilion claims to have the vast majority of spiritual materials in Song, it is impossible for them to sell third-grade spiritual materials. After all, it is backed by the four major sects. If there were really third-grade spiritual materials, they would have been used long ago. How could they be sold?

So now, Chen Qing can only improve his physical cultivation first.

As his thoughts gradually faded, Chen Qing walked out of the main room and came to the yard. He first fed the cold stone python its daily dose of cold marrow fluid, and then went out to see if the reward for slaying the demon that Li He and Jiang Ziyun had mentioned before would be announced today.

Walking out of Xinghua Lane and arriving at an intersection, Chen Qing saw a notice posted on the city wall.

It's clearly written on it.

From now on, anyone who kills a monster can go to the City Lord's Mansion to exchange its corpse for contribution points. The City Lord's Mansion will open an exchange channel. One thousand contribution points or the corpse of a second-level monster can be exchanged for a foundation-building pill.

After reading the content of the notice, Chen Qing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Can the corpse of a second-level monster really be exchanged for a foundation-building pill?

As far as he knew, although the corpses of second-level monsters were all top-grade spiritual materials, and second-level monster cores were also necessary ingredients for many high-level elixirs, their value was still not equal to that of foundation-building pills. Could it be that some cultivator had deduced the method of refining foundation-building pills using second-level monster cores?

Chen Qing himself used the second-level demon pill to refine the foundation-building pill. Although the pill formula was deduced using his innate ability, it does not mean that other cultivators cannot deduce the pill formula.

In fact, there are many ideas for using second-level demon pills to refine foundation-building pills. There are related records in some second-level alchemy inheritances collected by Chen Qing. However, most of the related records have failed, and there are only a few examples that are close to success, but it is still not feasible.

Now that someone has deduced the recipe for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill using the second-level demon pill, Chen Qing is not surprised, but just a little curious.

Why was it launched at this juncture, and why was the news released that the corpse of a second-level monster was exchanged for the Foundation Establishment Pill?
