My Optimized Immortal Life

When Zhu Chiting returned to the Sanhe Gang and reported Chen Qing's words, even Luo Qingfeng was stunned. They were just two Foundation Establishment cultivators, but as soon as these words came out, Luo Qingfeng understood that this guest Jiang was at least a cultivator in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. This made him even more surprised, and then he was ecstatic.

There is a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building who is a guest official of Sanhe Gang. This is a great opportunity for the Sanhe Gang, which can help them open up more trade routes and earn more spirit stones.

Luo Qingfeng realized that this was a golden opportunity for the Sanhe Gang to develop. He immediately sent people to visit the Chu and Yang families and the Xuanshui Sect to discuss the details of the cooperation.

Seven days later, Zhu Chiting came again. This time he brought Chen Qing good news. As long as Chen Qing came forward, the Chu family and the Xuanshui Sect would immediately cooperate with the Sanhe Gang.

As for the Yang family, they said they were still considering it.

Still under the peach tree, Chen Qing sat on a stone chair. After Zhu Chiting finished speaking, he shook his head and smiled.

"Let me come forward? They really think highly of the Sanhe Gang. When you go back, tell Luo Qingfeng that if the Chu family and the Xuanshui Sect want to cooperate, they can do so at any time. As for meeting in person, there's no need for that."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Chiting was puzzled, but he did not ask any more questions. Instead, he turned and left.

After Zhu Chiting left, Chen Qing waved his hand, and a ray of spiritual light scattered from his hand and fell on the ground. Immediately, a layer of ripples appeared, like a curtain of water. Wherever the ripples spread, the surrounding scenery began to change. Even the peach tree behind Chen Qing swayed a few times and turned into its original osmanthus tree.

A python covered with black scales hung from the branches of the osmanthus tree. Chen Qing stretched out his hand and let the cold stone python cling to his hand.

Since Chen Qing was the first person the Cold Stone Python saw after it was born, and coupled with the effect of the blood contract, the Cold Stone Python felt a natural affinity for him.

Therefore, when the cold stone python saw Chen Qing stretch out his hand, it climbed up his arm very obediently.

It has not even been a month since the birth of the Cold Stone Python. Even though Chen Qing feeds it with cold marrow fluid every day, the Cold Stone Python's size has not grown much. It is still only about seven feet tall. However, its aura is becoming more and more condensed. According to Chen Qing's spiritual sense, the Cold Stone Python's cultivation has reached the peak of the middle stage of the first level. After accumulating for a period of time, it will surely break through to the late stage of the first level.

Although it is of no help to him now, he has only been training the Cold Stone Python for a short time, so it will still be very useful in the future.

At this moment, Xu Lingxin also came over from the side. She looked at the cold stone python wrapped around Chen Qing's arm, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Husband, Xiaohan seems to be about to break through to the late stage of the first level."

Chen Qing nodded, stood up, walked to Xu Lingxin, lifted the arm that was entangled by the cold stone python, and stretched it in front of Xu Lingxin.

The cold stone python naturally also saw Xu Lingxin, and watched with curiosity with its pair of emerald green snake eyes.

This was not the first time it had seen Xu Lingxin. In its perception, this hostess also had the aura of Chen Qing, which was extremely friendly.

Xu Lingxin reached out to take the cold stone python and held it in her arms.

The cold stone python feels a little cold when you hold it in your hand, but it feels very smooth and does not hurt your hands.

After Xu Lingxin took the cold stone python, she reached out and started teasing it.

Seeing this, Chen Qing no longer cared about the man and the snake, but recalled what Zhu Chiting had just explained to him.

The Chu family and the Xuanshui Sect agreed to cooperate with the Sanhe Gang. This was within Chen Qing's expectations. After all, the Sanhe Gang controlled a section of the Biqing River's waterway, which could bring them a lot of benefits. However, they were more interested in testing Jiang Yuhuo, the sudden emergence of a foundation-building cultivator.

The purpose of letting Jiang Yuhuo come forward was to test the details, but unfortunately Chen Qing was not prepared to come forward. Whether the Sanhe Gang became stronger or not had little to do with him. He just wanted the Sanhe Gang to provide him with an information channel at the beginning.

Therefore, he did not seize Luo Qingfeng's position as the leader of the gang, but joined the Sanhe Gang as a guest official.

There is a second-level formation I set up in the courtyard, the Illusionary Formation. This formation is famous for its concealing ability. Even the consciousness of a Jindan Zhenren cannot see through it directly, so there is no need to worry about anyone being able to see through the situation in the courtyard.

Now the number of monsters outside Wanren City is still increasing. The cultivators in the City Lord's Mansion are all focusing their attention on the possible outbreak of a beast tide. Even though they are somewhat curious about Jiang Yuhuo's identity, they are just testing him at most now.

A great foundation-building cultivator is also an extremely precious force during the beast tide.

After that, it was quiet. As long as Jiang Yuhuo didn't show up, the Chu family, Xuanshui sect, and other forces that wanted to test him would be helpless. All I needed was the news brought by the Sanhe Gang every seven days.

Chen Qing knew very well what he was going to do next.

Although his cultivation has reached the False Pill Stage, because he has switched to practicing Yin Yang Transformation, his whole body has undergone some transformation under the nourishment of the magic power of Yin Yang Transformation.

Moreover, there are some special secret techniques in the Yin-Yang Transformation Technique, and Chen Qing needs to rely on his innate abilities to fully master them.

Now Xu Lingxin's cultivation has reached the late stage of foundation building, but she does not have a suitable spiritual weapon. Chen Qing has to go to Wanbao Pavilion to buy some spiritual materials and refine a few spiritual weapons for Xu Lingxin.

I hope these things can be completed before the beast tide arrives.

Chen Qing looked back at Xu Lingxin who was teasing the cold stone python and couldn't help but smile.

One day later.

Chu family.

After receiving the news that Jiang Yuhuo was not planning to show up, Chu Zongtang could not help but slam his hand on the table and snorted coldly.

"This Jiang Yuhuo isn't planning on showing up? Then why did he take over the Sanhe Gang? Is it fun?"

In front of Chu Zongtang, an old man spoke.

"Master, since Jiang Yuhuo won't show up, how should we deal with it?"

Chu Zongtang glanced at the old man and said.

"Since he won't show up, there's no need to put so much energy into cooperating with the Sanhe Gang. We can just deal with it."

"Yes."

The old man responded and then continued.

"According to the Chu family's patrol reports, traces of numerous second-level demonic beasts have been discovered deep within Wanren Mountain. They seem to be converging, a precursor to a beast tide."

Chu Zongtang frowned when he heard this and asked.

"Is there any news from the City Lord's Mansion?"

"Not yet. Apart from the last notice to exterminate the monsters, City Lord Liu hasn't appeared recently."

"That's it..."

Chu Zongtang stood there, thinking.

As a foundation-building family near Wanren City, the Chu family must be a little worried under the threat of the beast tide.

Although they knew that there was a Jindan cultivator in the City Lord's Mansion, the third-level beast king who led the beast tide was not an easy character to deal with. There had been cases in history where Wanren City had been breached by a beast tide.
