My Optimized Immortal Life

Next, Chen Qing went to the Purple Bamboo Forest, Starlight Lake, and Hematite Mine to observe one by one.

He discovered that although the Purple Bamboo Forest was the most abundant resource point on Linghua Island, it was sandwiched between the Starlight Lake and the Hematite Mine resource points. The transportation channels of the Luo and Bi families also intersected with the transportation channels of the Purple Bamboo Forest. The channels of the three families eventually led to their respective clan territories, but met in one place. There was no need to explain what this meant.

On a small hill on Linghua Island, Chen Qing saw that the top of the mountain had been flattened, forming a flat area of ​​100 meters in size, which was used as the venue for martial arts competitions.

This is a grand event jointly organized by the three families since the departure of True Man Linghua. It is held once a year and has been held for several years. Every time it is held, all the cultivators in Qiubo Lake will participate, and even some independent cultivators near Qiubo Lake will come to participate.

After all, it is jointly organized by three parties and the rewards are generous. Even cultivators who have reached the perfection of Qi training will be jealous when they see it.

Chen Qing stood on the hill, looking at the busy monks who were building a site nearby.

Most of these cultivators belonged to three families, led by a foundation-building cultivator. They took out formation flags, formation plates and other items, and continued to repair the entire venue.

The leading foundation-building cultivator, wearing a white robe, looked middle-aged, with a square face. He was none other than Bai Zhanyu, one of the three foundation-building cultivators of the Bai family.

Chen Qing's eyes flashed with wisdom, and he immediately saw through Bai Zhanyu's cultivation level. However, he was still in the early stage of foundation building, which was consistent with the fact that he had only been promoted to foundation building in recent years.

If one wants to make use of the spiritual veins of Linghua Island, one cannot go around these three families. Chen Qing has inquired privately that because the Bai family is the most powerful, the Luo and Bi families have been forced to form an alliance to jointly target and exclude the Bai family.

After the Luo and Bi families formed an alliance, the number of foundation-building workers they had was the same as that of the Bai family, giving both sides room for negotiation. However, as long as they are families, they will inevitably hope to obtain more resources.

It is better for one family to dominate than for three families to divide it equally. I believe the Bai family is also happy to take over the entire Linghua Island.

Chen Qing stood in place, and with a movement of his spiritual consciousness, a voice transmission crossed a distance of hundreds of meters and landed in Bai Zhanyu's ears.

Bai Zhanyu's brows suddenly raised. He looked around and observed for a while. After finding nothing, he explained everything to a cultivator from the Bai family beside him, then jumped up and flew out of the island.

Seeing this, Chen Qing stood up and left, also heading outside the island.

Outside Linghua Island, on the surface of a lake.

Bai Zhanyu's figure turned into a yellowish-brown light and stayed there, with magic power surrounding him.

His spiritual sense expanded, covering the area within a radius of half a mile, but he did not detect any movement.

"Fellow Daoist Bai, this is my first time on Linghua Island. I wonder if all the cultivators in Linghua are like you, who like to use their spiritual sense to look around randomly."

A voice suddenly reached Bai Zhanyu's ears, making him look surprised, and then he turned to look in the direction where the voice came from.

I saw an old man in a black robe with white hair and beard hanging in the air, his eyes narrowed, looking at Bai Zhanyu.

This person was none other than Chen Qing. With his perfect foundation-building cultivation and spiritual awareness far surpassing Bai Zhanyu's, it was easy for him to conceal his knowledge from Bai Zhanyu's detection.

When Bai Zhanyu saw Chen Qing's face, his expression darkened and he couldn't help but think in his heart.

This person was able to evade my spiritual detection. His cultivation must be far superior to mine. He is probably a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building. There are not many casual cultivators with such cultivation in the entire Song Kingdom. Could he be someone from the four sects?

Thoughts raced through his mind as Bai Zhanyu bowed and spoke.

"I wonder what important matter is there for you, Senior, to ask me to leave the island?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing went straight to the point.

"I would like to borrow the spiritual veins of Linghua Island. Is that possible?"

Spiritual vein? Could it be that this person wants to form a pill?

When Bai Zhanyu heard this, his heart was immediately filled with waves.

He didn't expect that Chen Qing would not hide his purpose at all and directly state his purpose, which made him immediately understand Chen Qing's thoughts.

Although the primary-stage medium-sized spiritual vein of Linghua Island is extremely rich in spiritual energy and can even provide for the cultivation of Jindan cultivators, there is no other Jindan cultivator in the entire Song Kingdom except Linghua Zhenren.

As soon as Chen Qing arrived, he said directly that he wanted to borrow the spiritual vein. There was no other possibility except to break through to the Jindan stage.

This actually made Bai Zhanyu even more surprised, because this meant that Chen Qing's cultivation had reached the perfection of foundation building.

This level of cultivation has never been heard of in the entire Song State. This person must be from a very powerful background.

Bai Zhanyu immediately felt a headache.

A casual cultivator who has completed the foundation building stage cannot be defeated even if the six foundation building masters from the three families join forces. This means that Bai Zhanyu cannot refuse the other party's request at all.

"Senior, the spiritual vein is not controlled by my Bai family alone. The Luo family and the Bi family both occupy a portion of it. Even if my Bai family agrees, these two families may not allow you to borrow the spiritual vein."

After saying this, Chen Qing smiled.

"That's why I came to look for your Bai family..."

That night.

Bai family land.

Bai Zhanqiu was standing in the ancestral hall at this time, lining up the ancestors of the Bai family in front of him, raising incense and bowing, then inserting the incense into the altar.

After doing all this, he took a few steps back and bowed again.

At this moment, the door of the ancestral hall was opened, and Bai Zhanyu walked in from outside. When he saw Bai Zhanqiu, he immediately spoke.

"Brother, that senior has arrived at Mingyue Pavilion and is waiting."

Hearing this, Bai Zhanqiu took a deep breath and spoke.

"Let's go."

The two walked out of the ancestral hall together and came to Mingyue Pavilion.

This pavilion is where the head of the Bai family receives guests. It is ten feet high and one can overlook the purple bamboo forest from the top of the pavilion.

Bai Zhanqiu walked up to the roof of the pavilion and saw an old man in a black robe sitting at the table with a calm expression.

Seeing Bai Zhanqiu coming up, Chen Qing spoke.

"Master Bai, I wonder what you think of my suggestion."

Bai Zhanqiu took a seat and then looked at Chen Qing. The latter's eyes were as deep as a well, making it impossible for Bai Zhanqiu to tell the depth.

"Senior's words are indeed very tempting, but Qiubo Lake is vast, and the various forces are intertwined. I am afraid that it is difficult for my family to control it alone."

After he finished speaking, Chen Qing understood and smiled immediately.

"Master Bai, I have nothing to do with the Four Sects. I am just a casual cultivator. I came here only for the spiritual vein."

Bai Zhanqiu smiled bitterly.

"Senior, you may not know that although the entire Qiubo Lake seems to be controlled by three families, the Lieyang Sect and the Baihua Pavilion are only a hundred miles away from Qiubo Lake. When True Man Linghua was around, Qiubo Lake could only be considered a Jindan-level power. Now, it is only barely maintaining its position by relying on True Man Linghua's remaining prestige."

Chen Qing sneered when he heard this.

The magical energy of perfect foundation building exploded in the Mingyue Pavilion. The powerful spiritual pressure pressed down on Bai Zhanqiu and Bai Zhanyu like a mountain, making the two of them feel like they were in a desperate situation.

The Bai family has a total of three great foundation-building cultivators, but in front of Chen Qing, who has achieved perfection in foundation-building, there is no late foundation-building stage. Even if the three of them are in the middle foundation-building stage, it is meaningless, not to mention that among the three, only Bai Zhanqiu is in the middle foundation-building stage.

Therefore, Bai Zhanqiu did not allow another person from the Bai family to come to build the foundation.

"Master Bai, I believe my sincerity is sufficient, but Master Bai doesn't seem to want to give me face."
