My Optimized Immortal Life

In the middle of the night, the moon is above the branches, and the sky is full of stars, shining brightly.

Backyard door.

Zhu Chiting looked around, and it was all silent. The cool breeze from the hilltop made him feel cold all over. Dark clouds appeared in the sky at some point, and the moonlight quietly faded from Zhu Chiting.

Zhu Chiting stood there, took a deep breath, and secretly estimated the time.

It should be the Chou hour already.

He thought to himself, then looked around again.

The gate to the courtyard was closed, and the dark grey wall was now shrouded in shadows, looking quite eerie.

However, Zhu Chiting was not shaken by this. However, he was quite distressed because Chen Qing had not appeared.

Since Chen Qing took over the Sanhe Gang, even he rarely saw him, and he used the sound transmission jade talisman to pass on messages.

If it weren't for the incident with the beast herd, Zhu Chiting estimated that Chen Qing would have stayed in this small courtyard forever.

As for loneliness?

Haha, it’s not like he didn’t see Xu Lingxin that Chen Qing brought in. At the same time, Zhu Chiting couldn’t help but envy Xu Lingxin from the bottom of his heart. A female cultivator of Qi Refining could actually be close to Chen Qing, a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Although this is not uncommon, for female cultivators it is undoubtedly equivalent to a chicken turning into a phoenix.

Just as Zhu Chiting was lost in thought, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him. He looked closely and saw that it was Chen Qing.

"Jiang Gongfu."

Zhu Chiting bowed and then stood there, waiting for Chen Qing's instructions.

Chen Qing glanced at him and then said.

"Old Zhu, it's only been a year since you brought me into the Sanhe Gang."

Zhu Chiting was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then quickly replied.

"It is indeed as Lord Jiang said."

Chen Qing continued.

"In less than a year, Lao Zhu, you have been able to break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining. You have decent talent."

After saying that, Chen Qing took out eight jade bottles, entrusted them with his magic power, and handed them to Zhu Chiting.

"This is the Condensation Pill. You should know its specific effects."

Zhu Chiting stretched out his hand to take it, and his heart skipped a beat. If a foundation-building cultivator gave him a benefit, then the next thing would most likely require him to risk his life.

Although he was reluctant to take it, Zhu Chiting still quickly put the pill away and then spoke.

"Chi Ting will remember Jiang Gongfeng's intention to cultivate me. From now on, I will let Jiang Gongfeng arrange everything."

Seeing this, Chen Qing smiled and shook his head.

"It's not time for you to contribute yet, but you can make some arrangements first."

After saying this, Chen Qing said seriously.

"I want you to leave the Sanhe Gang and contact the Chu, Yang, Xuanshui and other foundation-building forces, and persuade the foundation-building masters within them to join the Xutian Palace."

After he finished speaking, Zhu Chiting was stunned on the spot. What Chen Qing said was not long, but the amount of information was extremely huge, which made his heart churn and difficult to calm down.

Putting aside the question of what kind of power the Xutian Palace was, how could they persuade him to undergo a major foundation-building renovation? With him being a mere ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator?

I think you are making things difficult for me, Zhu Chiting.

Zhu Chiting took a deep breath and then spoke.

"Master Jiang, Chi Ting is only at the Qi Refining level. How can he possibly come into contact with the Foundation Establishment Cultivation? Also, I don't know what kind of power the Xutian Palace you are talking about is?"

Chen Qing smiled.

"With your current level of cultivation, it's really a stretch to try to reach the Foundation Establishment stage. That's why I'm saying it's not time for you to put in the effort yet. I'll give you a year to reach the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. After that, I'll give you a Foundation Establishment Pill."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Chiting's breathing became rapid.

Foundation Building Pill!

Even the lowest quality foundation-building pill can increase the success rate of a Qi-refining cultivator's foundation-building by 40%. What's more, this foundation-building pill comes from the hands of Chen Qing, a great foundation-building cultivator, so its quality must be good.

In other words, as long as he can cultivate to the great perfection of Qi Refining within the next year, he will be able to take the Foundation Establishment Pill and break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

That’s the foundation building!

There was no way to suppress the horror in his heart. As soon as Zhu Chiting heard the three words "Foundation Building Pill", he knew that he would never refuse any request made by Chen Qing.

If I can advance to the foundation-building stage, then what does it matter if I work like a slave for Chen Qing?

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Zhu Chiting spoke immediately.

"I swear by my inner demon that from now on, my life and property will be entrusted to Jiang Yuhuo. If I disobey, my cultivation will be completely wasted and my life will be in danger!"

Seeing that Zhu Chiting was so sensible, Chen Qing nodded involuntarily. Letting Zhu Chiting build the Xutian Palace was something he had been planning for a long time.

As an open force, the Sanhe Gang can only collect limited things, especially since Chen Qing has entered the false pill stage. The rare second-level spiritual objects are not in his eyes. Only the third-level treasures can promote his practice.

Therefore, secretly establishing a force became the best option.

Giving Zhu Chiting resources was also for the purpose of cultivating confidants. After all, cultivators who could achieve foundation building were all extremely talented and arrogant, and were difficult to trust.

It would be better to train a few people to build the foundation from scratch.

Chen Qing has the formula for the foundation-building pill and the second-level demon pill in his hand, so it is really not difficult to cultivate the foundation.

He just lacks some people he can trust.

With this thought in mind, Chen Qing spoke.

"Okay, step back."

"As ordered."

Zhu Chiting bowed, then turned and left the courtyard in the back mountain.

Chen Qing stood there, looking at the bright moon that reappeared from the clouds, thoughts gradually rising in his mind.

The first step in his plan was to establish the Xutian Palace and win over people to build the foundation.

As mentioned before, most of the third-level skills in the entire Song Dynasty are mastered by the four major sects, and most of those scattered in the market are incomplete. Therefore, most of the independent practitioners can only practice to the foundation-building stage at best. There has only been one independent practitioner like Linghua Zhenren who has reached the Jindan stage in hundreds of years.

However, winning over these foundation-building cultivators is not Chen Qing's main purpose. What Chen Qing values ​​are the information channels, resources, etc. in their hands.

The resources for cultivating immortals in Song are scarce. It may take decades for third-level natural treasures to be found, and most of them fall into the hands of the four sects. If Chen Qing wants to seek third-level resources, he can only work hard from other places.

For example, the Great Wasteland.

Although the Great Wilderness Marsh is a place where monsters gather, the environment there is much better than that of the Song State. Many cultivators from the four sects who explore the Great Wilderness Marsh can obtain third-level treasures from it.

As long as Chen Qing's cultivation has not reached the late stage of Jindan, he will not expose himself, so he can only seek resources from the Great Wilderness Swamp.

If he went in to explore alone, the efficiency would be too slow. It would be better to recruit some independent cultivators to build their foundation and let them form a team to go in and explore.

As for the things that can attract independent cultivators to build their foundation...

Haha, is the third-level skill enough?

Possessing the innate ability, deducing the third-level skills is just a piece of cake for Chen Qing, but for those casual cultivators, a complete third-level skills is something they have been searching for but still cannot find.

In addition, as long as he has the second-level pill formula and spiritual materials, Chen Qing can also refine second-level pills and spiritual weapons, which are also irresistible things for casual cultivators to build their foundation.
