My Optimized Immortal Life

As the old man spoke, the foundation-building cultivators around him looked at each other and immediately counted the number of people present.

"Basically, they're all here. Even if a few are missing, it's no big deal."

A middle-aged monk wearing a green robe and with a resolute face spoke.

After he finished speaking, all the cultivators present turned their eyes to the middle-aged man. Upon hearing this, the old man looked over, but his expression tightened and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Huang Cheng, could it be that your Huang family also wants to get involved?"

The middle-aged man named Huang Cheng smiled when he heard this, then took a few steps, came to the front of the crowd, looked at the old man, and said in a loud voice.

"Yagyuko, the incident in Wanren City has caused quite a stir. You don't really think that the Four Sects will only produce one True Man Chiyan, do you?"

He paused and looked at a man standing at the edge of the crowd. The man understood and raised his hand to send out a dozen formation flags, which were distributed on the four sides of the broken platform. Then a thick fog rose, submerging the figures of everyone, which shocked the group of casual cultivators standing outside the platform.

"Why are you suddenly setting up a formation?"

"The foundation-building masters have important matters to discuss, and we have been excluded."

"Alas, there's nothing I can do. My cultivation is so low, so this is the only way."

"..."

Regardless of the group of Qi-refining cultivators separated by the formation, inside the formation.

Huang Cheng continued in a loud voice.

"You are all independent cultivators who have not joined any sect. You have been able to cultivate from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment. You must know the difficulties of cultivation. Even if you have established a family like me, it is difficult to provide for yourself. What is lacking here? You all know it better than me."

"And this is our best opportunity. Since its establishment, Wanren City has been ruled by the Four Sects. I believe everyone has witnessed how much resources they have obtained from the Wanren Mountains. This beast tide caused Wanren City to fall. If we can recapture it, we can control Wanren City in the hands of independent cultivators. This way, we can solve the dilemma of independent cultivators being limited by resources and unable to improve our cultivation."

Huang Cheng's words were passionate, powerful and could greatly inspire people.

Unfortunately, no one present was a fool, they just watched coldly.

Huang Cheng is the patriarch of the Huang family, a foundation-building family. His cultivation has reached the middle stage of foundation-building, and he is one of the most powerful cultivators present.

There is no way. After the foundation is established, the resources needed for cultivation are even greater. The independent cultivators who can cultivate to the foundation have basically exhausted all their financial resources during the foundation. After achieving the foundation, although they seem to have surpassed thousands of Qi Refining independent cultivators, their situation is actually several points worse than that of Qi Refining cultivators.

This is because during the foundation-building stage, the amount of spiritual energy absorbed is even greater, more than ten times that of the Qi refining stage. If the spiritual veins of the place of practice are blessed, it will only take a few hours for the foundation-building stage to absorb all the spiritual energy within a hundred meters.

The few spiritual veins in Song are either occupied by the four sects or by foundation-building families like the Huang family.

A foundation-building cultivator who practices alone cannot find a place with sufficient spiritual energy to support his practice. If this continues for a long time, his progress in cultivation will naturally be slow.

This time, the main purpose was to take advantage of the fact that True Man Chi Yan wanted to conquer Wanren City and gather many foundation-building cultivators to discuss how to occupy Wanren City.

After hearing Huang Cheng's bold words, Liu Shengzi sneered and spoke.

"How are you going to deal with that half-step fourth-level purple-winged blue-scaled roc? All of us together can't withstand a Jindan attack, let alone that demon roc."

As soon as Yagyuko said this, everyone present immediately spoke out in rebuttal.

"Yagyuko's words make sense. True Man Chiyan is the key to the outcome of this battle. Moreover, he has the Lieyang Sect behind him. We should take a step back and fight for some of Wanren City's rights and interests."

"This method is inappropriate. Wanren City was built by the four sects, and all four sects have interests here. Now the Demonic Path has taken away half of the Song Kingdom's territory out of thin air, and all four sects have suffered losses. In this situation, extending their hands to Wanren City, a place that involves the interests of all four sects, is probably inappropriate."

"..."

The discussion lasted for a long time, but no conclusion could be reached. Among them, the most pressing issue was the half-step fourth-level purple-winged green-scaled roc. Among these casual cultivators, the highest level of cultivation was only the middle stage of foundation building, which was a big realm lower than the purple-winged green-scaled roc.

Not to mention there is also a True Man Chiyan.

Finally, a monk pointed out the problem.

"We are not able to participate in a battle at the Jindan level. No matter who wins in the end, we have no bargaining power unless we also have a Jindan level."

"That's a good thing."

As soon as this monk's words came out, they were immediately recognized by the vast majority of monks.

In fact, it is better to say that I am helpless than to say that I agree.

It is not easy for casual cultivators to practice at the foundation-building stage. Those who can break through to the foundation-building stage, except for insufficient qualifications, are far superior to other casual cultivators in other aspects. But even so, the formation of the elixir is still out of reach.

When talking about this topic, everyone fell silent. It was so difficult to form a golden core. Among all the casual cultivators who had built their foundation over the past few hundred years, only one person had achieved the golden core.

With their qualifications and opportunities, their current level of cultivation is already the limit.

Just when everyone was in a slump, Huang Cheng stood up again and said in a loud voice.

“We also have Jindan independent cultivators.”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was immediately shocked.

There is humanity.

"If Linghua Zhenren was still here, there would definitely be some Jindan cultivators. However, Linghua Zhenren had already entered the Great Wilderness Marsh, and his life or death is now uncertain. We should find another Jindan cultivator from there!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a black-robed monk jumped out from the crowd and landed in the center of the broken platform.

Everyone's eyes immediately shifted from Huang Cheng to the black-robed monk.

The black-robed monk lifted his hood, and the face revealed underneath made the monks present stunned.

I saw that this man had a handsome face, sharp eyes and star-like eyebrows, and he was full of heroic spirit.

"Nie Xunxian? Didn't you already follow Master Linghua into the Great Desolate Marsh?"

Someone revealed the man's identity, bringing everyone present back to their senses.

When Liu Shengzi saw Nie Xunxian appear, his thoughts suddenly turned rapidly, and it seemed as if a thunder flashed in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Nie Xunxian is a foundation-building swordsman recruited by Linghua Zhenren. He is very powerful and his reputation was heard as early as when he was at Qiubo Lake.

But when Linghua Zhenren moved the Three Islands Alliance, Nie Xunxian also followed him into the Great Wilderness Swamp.

Now that he appeared here, didn't that mean...

A thought flashed through Yagyuko's mind, but he was a little bit unbelievable.

He also knew about the purpose of Linghua Zhenren entering the Great Wilderness. It was to find a spiritual vein in the Great Wilderness for cultivation.

After all, Master Linghua's cultivation has reached the middle stage of the Jindan stage. If he wants to make further progress, he must find a place with abundant spiritual energy again.

It was not only Liu Shengzi who thought of this. Other cultivators also thought of this later. Their focus was not on Nie Xunxian, but on the real person behind Nie Xunxian.

Someone rejoiced.

"If Master Linghua takes action, this plan will be completely problem-free."

After he finished speaking, Nie Xunxian, who was standing in the center of the broken platform, suddenly spoke.

"I'm the only one from the Three Islands Alliance participating in this trip to Wanren City."

His words were extremely calm. When everyone heard them, their expressions changed before they could question him.

It was Nie Xunxian who revealed his aura at this moment. The all-powerful sword intent burst out from his body, transforming into countless small swords, which slammed into the thick fog that formed the formation, causing the fog to tremble, as if it would collapse in the next moment.

"This aura? You have achieved the Jindan stage!!!"
