My Optimized Immortal Life

Chapter 148 The Beast Tide is Coming

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. Today was the sixth day that Zhu Chiting sent a message to Chen Qing. Since he had the Sanhe Gang as a channel, Chen Qing had never left the house. Even when buying spiritual materials for refining weapons, he asked Zhu Chiting to go to Wanbao Pavilion to buy them on his behalf.

It was still dawn at this time, and the sky was covered with thick clouds. There was no sunlight at all, and it seemed a little dim.

In the courtyard, Xu Lingxin stood on the bluestone slab, pinching the magic formula with both hands. As the magic power flowed, she heard a sound of breaking air from all directions, and a cold light suddenly appeared, which made people's hearts tremble and feel fear.

Chen Qing stood aside, his eyes darting around, looking at the flying sword that was circling around in the courtyard.

This is the flying sword he refined for Xu Lingxin, a cultivator who has entered the Foundation Establishment Stage. Although his cultivation level is far superior to that of the Qi Refining cultivators, his methods of fighting the enemy are similar to those of the Qi Refining cultivators. He uses magic weapons and spells as conventional means of attack.

Now Xu Lingxin has entered the late stage of foundation building and is not too far from perfection. With her cultivation reaching this level, she can relax a bit, practice spells, familiarize herself with spiritual weapons, and master some means of fighting the enemy.

Without this experience, he would probably suffer a great loss when fighting with other cultivators in the future.

After a while, Xu Lingxin was completely familiar with the flying sword and recalled it.

A blue light flashed, and then a three-foot-long azure flying sword hung in Xu Lingxin's hand. Under Chen Qing's spiritual consciousness, Xu Lingxin's magic power flowed through the flying sword very smoothly without any stagnation.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but smile.

The material used to refine Xu Lingxin's flying sword was heavy water cold crystal, which he had specially purchased from Wanbao Pavilion at a high price. It was an excellent refining material and was extremely suitable for cultivators who practiced water-based techniques.

Xu Lingxin flipped her palm, and the Cold Water Sword was taken into her body and placed in her dantian.

She immediately turned around, looked back at Chen Qing, and couldn't help but smile.

"Husband, I have completely refined and mastered this Cold Water Sword."

Chen Qing nodded and was about to speak when he suddenly felt the restriction covering the courtyard move.

He raised an eyebrow, signaled Xu Lingxin, and activated the formation. A flash of light appeared, and the entire courtyard suddenly distorted. The osmanthus tree transformed, suddenly expanding in size, transforming into the peach tree Zhu Chiting had seen upon entering. The cold stone python that had been perched atop it vanished instantly.

After Xu Lingxin's figure disappeared in the light curtain of the formation, Chen Qing slowly sat down on the stone chair and lifted the restriction.

Once the restriction was lifted, the door opened quickly and a Taoist figure hurried in. He walked quickly to Chen Qing and saw that it was Zhu Chiting.

Zhu Chiting stood there and did not speak in a hurry. Instead, he took a deep breath and then spoke.

"Senior Jiang, the City Lord's Mansion has issued an announcement that all the monsters in Wanren Mountain have gathered. The beast tide will arrive in two days at most."

After he finished speaking, Zhu Chiting looked at Chen Qing, only to see that the latter had a calm expression, obviously he had expected this.

Chen Qing nodded and asked.

"How's the situation at the gang station?"

"Most of the buildings to resist the beast tide have been built outside the base. Most of the middle and late stage monks in the gang have also been deployed outside the base. If a small beast tide really attacks, we can deal with it."

Zhu Chiting replied.

"Hmm..." Chen Qing pondered for a moment, then spoke.

"Merchant ships on the waterway can temporarily anchor and wait for the beast tide to break out."

Zhu Chiting nodded, then his expression suddenly became a little abnormal, but he still asked.

"If a second-level monster comes..."

Before he could finish his words, Chen Qing took out a storage bag from his waist and handed it to Zhu Chiting.

"Inside the storage bag are twenty first-grade, top-grade Thunder Talismans, a set of second-grade, elementary formation flags and plates, and the layout instructions. After nightfall, I will rush to the Sanhe Gang to take charge."

Seeing that Chen Qing was well prepared, Zhu Chiting put down his worries, put the storage bag close to his body, and then said goodbye to Chen Qing.

After watching Zhu Chiting leave and the ban covering the courtyard again, Xu Lingxin walked to Chen Qing and said solemnly.

"My dear, can Wanren City withstand this beast tide?"

After saying this, Chen Qing couldn't help but shook his head and smiled, then spoke.

"Wanren City has been stationed outside Wanren Mountain for hundreds of years, and during that time, it has withstood countless beast tidal waves. Even if it was breached by a beast tidal wave once or twice, the four major sects would organize cultivators to rebuild Wanren City afterwards. We only need to go to Sanhe Gang to avoid the main force of the beast tidal wave."

Hearing this, Xu Lingxin also nodded.

She was naturally aware of Chen Qing's prudentness. He pretended to be in the Qi Refining stage after completing the Foundation Establishment, and then pretended to be in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. Even she had never left the yard since she came to Wanren City. The same was true for the Cold Stone Python. Zhu Chiting entered the courtyard several times, but did not realize that there was another person and a snake in the yard.

Xu Lingxin did not have much objection to this. When she escaped from Tianyun Sect, her situation was much worse than it is now.

As for going to the Sanhe Gang after dark, Xu Lingxin guessed that with Chen Qing's personality, he would probably let her hide in the dark and take her over after Chen Qing had made all the arrangements.

If Chen Qing knew what Xu Lingxin was thinking, he would be shocked and would ask Xu Lingxin if she had seen his plan in advance.

The news of the coming beast tide is not only known to forces like the Sanhe Gang. The City Lord's Mansion has long posted this news on notice boards throughout the city, and has issued a ban on leaving and a wartime contribution exchange list to encourage independent cultivators to stay in the city and resist the beast tide.

The ban on leaving is limited to tomorrow. This is to allow those independent cultivators with families to move their relatives away early. After all, it is a beast tide. Although Wanren City has formations and many high-level cultivators, it cannot be guaranteed that it can be defended. Giving these independent cultivators time to arrange a retreat in advance can also win over some people's hearts.

Chen Qing was planning to leave at night because of this ban.

It was not yet night, but after thinking for a while, Chen Qing began to pack up the things set up in the courtyard, such as magic circles, tripods and the like.

After all, no one can predict the beast tide. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. He is wealthy, so it is better to take him away together.

Seeing this, Xu Lingxin did not pack anything. She was not like Chen Qing, who had seven or eight storage bags filled with a lot of things. She only had three storage bags filled with some underwear, cultivation techniques, pills, magic tools and the like.

into the night.

Chen Qing and Xu Lingxin walked out of Wanren City together. After they left the city gate, they couldn't help but look back.

Behind the tall city walls, there were bright lights, many houses lined up one after another, and crowds of people were walking on the streets, making it very lively.

This is the most prosperous city of cultivators in Song. Although many cultivators with low cultivation are preparing to leave because of the beast tide, no one believes that this city will fall. This is not a belief, but the experience of living here for many years.
