My Optimized Immortal Life

The spiritual pressure of the False Dan period was like a mountain, pressing down on Bai Zhanqiu and Bai Zhanyu. The two suddenly felt difficulty breathing, and the magic power in their bodies became stagnant and difficult to mobilize. In this situation, as long as Chen Qing took action, even if the two of them could forcibly mobilize their magic power, their combat power would be only one-fourth of what it was, and they would not be Chen Qing's opponents at all.

After Chen Qing finished speaking, Bai Zhanqiu took a deep breath and seemed to have made up his mind. He spoke.

"Senior, I can discuss with the heads of the Luo and Bi families to free up spiritual veins for you."

"Oh."

Chen Qing smiled, but did not retract his spiritual pressure. Instead, he continued to question.

"Your Bai family has been boycotted by the Luo and Bi families for years. Although your overall strength remains unchanged, there are always conflicts. Yet, you don't even have the thought of annexing the two families..."

A look of understanding appeared on Chen Qing's face.

"Sure enough, the three of you appear to be boycotting each other, but in reality you are secretly uniting to maintain control over the entire Qiubo Lake."

Bai Zhanqiu's face was calm and he was not shaken by Chen Qing, but Chen Qing's next words made his expression change.

"I guess your three families still have some connection with the Three Islands Alliance. Or maybe you were deliberately left in Qiubo Lake by the Three Islands Alliance."

As soon as Chen Qing finished speaking, Bai Zhanqiu's expression changed immediately. A look of surprise flashed across his face. His eyes immediately became deep, and the look he gave Chen Qing also carried a different meaning.

"Senior, what do you mean?"

He spoke loudly, no longer showing any trace of panic beneath his previous calmness.

Chen Qing smiled.

"Qiubo Lake has three spiritual veins. If I were one of the Four Sects, I would definitely not miss this place. In other words, the fact that the Luo, Bai, and Bi families have survived to this day must be due to the work of Master Linghua."

Bai Zhanqiu was immediately moved by these words. Chen Qing was obviously very clear about the situation of the entire Qiubo Lake, which was why he could see through the current situation of Qiubo Lake.

Bai Zhanqiu is obviously not a fool. Chen Qing's words have actually made his position clear. He does not want to get involved in the mess between the Three Islands Alliance and the Four Sects, but he came here to borrow the spiritual vein due to his cultivation.

Therefore, Bai Zhanqiu had to reconsider whether to agree to Chen Qing.

He lowered his eyes and thought for a long time before slowly raising them and speaking.

"Master Linghua brought the Three Islands Alliance into the Great Wilderness Marsh because they found a place with rich spiritual energy. They left our three families with them so that they could better understand the situation in Song. As for the entire Qiubo Lake, it's optional."

After a pause, Bai Zhanqiu continued.

"However, since Senior is so determined, I cannot refuse. Half a month from now, Senior will be the only one on the main vein of Linghua Island, and the island protection formation will be activated."

Hearing this, the corners of Chen Qing's mouth gradually rose. He didn't know when he had retracted his spiritual pressure and looked at Bai Zhanqiu, who smiled back at him.

"I would like to express my gratitude to Patriarch Bai. I apologize for any offense I may have caused you."

Chen Qing stood up and bowed to Bai Zhanqiu. After he finished speaking, he turned around and turned into a gray light, breaking through the air and disappeared.

After confirming that Chen Qing had left the Bai family's territory, Bai Zhanyu immediately spoke.

“Brother, how could he know that we were the work left behind by the alliance.”

Bai Zhanqiu glanced at him, smiled, and then spoke.

"Zhan Yu, although Song State is small, it still has some sensible people. The Four Sects are also aware of this. It's just that we haven't hindered them, and with the reputation of Master Linghua intimidating us, no one has come to point it out."

Bai Zhanyu looked thoughtful and spoke.

"So do we really have to lend our spiritual veins to someone in the Fake Dan stage? If he really reaches the Jindan stage..."

Before Bai Zhanyu could finish speaking, Bai Zhanqiu interrupted him.

"Then this actually brings us a great opportunity. True Man Linghua has been missing for several years. Without a Jindan cultivator to take charge, the four sects will sooner or later set their sights on this place again. Now that we have this casual cultivator with a fake dan, regardless of whether he succeeds in breaking through to the Jindan stage, it means we can hold out in Qiubo Lake for a while longer."

After he finished speaking, Bai Zhanqiu no longer looked at Bai Zhanyu, but raised his eyes to the sky. He saw a bright moon hanging high in the sky, with silver light shining down, and the sky and the earth were filled with a cold and clear color.

Chen Qing was already outside Linghua Island at this time. He was surrounded by a layer of spiritual light constructed by magic power, which enabled him to move quickly through the air.

At the beginning, Chen Qing really wanted to help the Bai family and take over the entire Qiubo Lake. After all, the Luo and Bi families had only three Foundation Establishment cultivators together, and none of them were in the late Foundation Establishment stage. They were no match for him at all. As long as he took action, he could bring the two families into the hands of the Bai family. But when he thought about it carefully, he felt that this would not work.

Let’s not talk about whether the Bai family will agree, the external conditions alone do not allow it.

There is a primary spiritual vein on each of the three islands of Qiubo Lake, and the spiritual vein on Linghua Island is a medium-sized spiritual vein. How could the four sects not be interested in such a spiritual gathering place? Before, with Linghua Zhenren in charge, the four sects tacitly agreed that this place belonged to the Three Islands Alliance.

Now that Master Linghua has entered the Great Wilderness Marsh, the Four Sects have already set their sights on this place, but three of them have united to exclude all outside forces. In addition, the Four Sects know that the three were specially left here by Linghua to guard it, so they did not take direct action, but only tested it secretly.

If Chen Qing took action, it would undoubtedly destroy the tacit understanding between the three families and the four sects, and would most likely attract the attention of the four sects, which would be quite disadvantageous for him.

Based on this, it can be guessed that the three families should still be involved with the Three Islands Alliance. If Chen Qing takes action, it is easy to make things worse, so he has to change his approach.

His goal has always been to use the meridians to break through to the Jindan stage. As long as he achieves this goal, it doesn't matter what means he uses, and compromising with the Bai family is not unacceptable.

Moreover, his appearance is also an opportunity for the three companies.

Chen Qing knew very well that it would be impossible to hide the movement of a fake dan cultivator breaking through to the jindan stage, unless there was a powerful person to cover it up, but Chen Qing did not have this condition, so he needed to find an environment that could block the sight of the four sects.

Linghua Island is just right. It is protected by the third-order formation left by Linghua Zhenren. Even for a cultivator in the late Jindan stage, it would not be easy to break this formation. With this formation as a cover, he can avoid exposing his identity to the greatest extent.

It can also give the four sects the illusion that this is a backup plan left by Linghua Zhenren, which is more conducive to Chen Qing's concealment.

He was just a small casual cultivator with no background and no power, so it was extremely necessary for him to hide his true identity.

He took over the Sanhe Gang using Jiang Yuhuo's identity. Now the only person who knows his true identity is Xu Lingxin.

After circling outside the island, Chen Qing quietly returned to the island.

Linghua Island is the largest of the three islands. The clan territories of the three families are all here. In addition, there are various small forces that are dependent on the three families, including gangs, small families, small sects, etc., a mixture of good and bad people.

In the next few days, as the fighting venue was completed, the news of the start of the Linghua Martial Arts Competition spread throughout the Qiubo Lake. Cultivators continued to come to Linghua Island, and it was extremely lively.

Chen Qing was mixed in among these monks, constantly looking at these monks who entered the island.

The cultivators who came to the island to participate in the Linghua Martial Arts Competition were basically at the Qi Refining stage. After all, it was a stage specially built for Qi Refining cultivators. The Foundation Establishment cultivators would not look down on the trivial rewards of the conference.

The Linghua Martial Arts Competition will not last long, only about half a month. After half a month, Chen Qing will be able to enter the main vein of Linghua Island and try to break through to the Jindan stage.
