My Optimized Immortal Life

Qiubo Lake.

The Linghua Martial Arts Competition has entered its final few rounds. Those who remain are all masters in the Qi Refining Stage, all of whom have reached the late Qi Refining stage.

Chen Qing only came to watch the Linghua Martial Arts Competition during the last few matches. After all, it was just a fight between Qi Refining Stage and did not mean much to a cultivator like him who was about to reach the stage of Dan Formation.

However, what Chen Qing did not expect was that he saw two familiar faces at this fighting meeting.

Li He was breathing slightly. He was standing on the fighting stage at this moment. Opposite him was a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining, who was surrounded by a layer of water curtain.

As a casual cultivator in Wanren City, Li He was naturally very clear about the situation in the entire Song Kingdom's cultivation world. He naturally knew about the Linghua Martial Arts Competition at Qiubo Lake.

It was for this reason that after leaving Wanren City, he took Jiang Ziyun to Qiubo Lake to participate in the martial arts competition and compete for cultivation resources.

These were the last three matches to determine the first place in the martial arts competition. Although Li He was born in Wanren City and had rich experience in fighting, his own cultivation and magic weapons were limited. When he met a casual cultivator like him who specialized in defense, he had no idea where to start.

I only have 30% of my mana left, and the guy opposite me is one level higher than me, so he has at least 50% of his mana left. His protective water shield can completely resist a first-grade magic weapon or flying sword. My war of attrition is completely useless to him.

Li He's opponent was obviously very good at this turtle tactic. While surrounding himself with a water shield, he was also constantly activating a bell magic weapon, making it emit a bell sound that was enough to cover half of the fighting stage, shaking the surrounding space, forcing Li He to keep moving around the fighting stage to avoid the attack of the bell.

While moving around, Li He kept making hand gestures, controlling the flying sword to fly through the air and continuously slashing at the water shield.

However, there was spiritual light flowing on the surface of the water shield. The flying sword slashed on it, and although it was able to cut through the water shield, it was unable to go deeper. After retreating, the spiritual light on the water shield covered the gap that was cut, and completely repaired the gap.

All my talismans have been used up in Wanren City, and now I have no powerful means to break this turtle shell.

Li He sighed in his heart, but quickly raised his hand.

"I surrender."

The Bai family's foundation-building master who presided over the fight immediately announced the winner between the two.

Seeing this, the cultivator opposite Li He removed the water shield and bowed to Li He.

"Fellow Daoist, I appreciate your kindness."

Li He returned the gift, but he was quite helpless.

He didn't make it to the finals, so the resources he could get were suddenly reduced a lot, which made him a little resentful.

However, Chen Qing did not expect to see Li He here. The Xutian Order he gave to Li He did not have a positioning function, so Chen Qing was not aware of Li He's movements, and he had no idea that the two of them came to Qiubo Lake to participate in the Linghua Martial Arts Competition.

After watching the fight between the two, Chen Qing felt nothing.

Li He's experience in fighting is indeed very rich. If they were to fight in the wild, the cultivators who mainly practiced the protective water shield would definitely not be his opponent. However, this is a martial arts competition, and fighting is not carried out in the wild. In addition, Li He's cultivation is still at a disadvantage, so the balance of victory and defeat is naturally determined.

Despite this, Chen Qing could still sense that Li He's cultivation had improved again, and he was not far from the ninth level of Qi Refining. Presumably, after obtaining the resources provided by the Martial Arts Association, he would be able to raise his cultivation to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

The Xutian Order was refined by Chen Qing himself. He embedded a small second-level formation inside it, which could transmit information within a radius of dozens of miles.

This distance is not far, but it is enough for casual cultivators.

Li He and Zhu Chiting were both Chen Qing's investment targets. Among them, Chen Qing invested the most in Zhu Chiting and gave him several bottles of elixirs for free. As for Li He, except for two Xutian Orders, Chen Qing never gave the latter anything else.

However, the Xutian Order itself can be considered as a subsidy. After all, it is something that can contact the Foundation Establishment Master. Ordinary Qi Refining cultivators cannot even see the Foundation Establishment Master. Li He has surpassed the vast majority of cultivators.

After taking the resources rewarded by the martial arts competition, Li He quickly left the place, and Chen Qing had no intention of stopping him.

For Li He, he would only support him with two foundation-building pills at most. If he wanted to get more investment from him, he would at least have to see whether Li He could break through the foundation-building stage.

Li He's appearance was just a small episode, and the Linghua Martial Arts Competition came to an end, which meant that Chen Qing could practice alone in the main spiritual vein of Linghua Island.

After the fighting meeting ended, Chen Qing came to the Bai family.

When Bai Zhanqiu saw Chen Qing coming, he fulfilled his promise and took Chen Qing directly into the main spiritual vein of Linghua Island.

The main vein of Linghua Island is located in a small hill in the center of the entire island.

This is also the center of the third-level formation arranged on the entire Linghua Island.

The layers of formations intertwined in the void, surrounding the entire hill tightly.

Chen Qing came here under the guidance of Bai Zhanqiu, who took out two tokens, injected magic power into one of them, opened the restriction on the hill, and then handed the other token to Chen Qing.

"Senior, this is the token that allows you to enter and exit the entire formation. When you need to come out, just inject mana into the token."

Chen Qing nodded, reached out to take the token, and then walked into the restriction.

He was not worried that Bai Zhanqiu and others would set traps in the formation. Only a third-level formation master could operate a third-level formation with ease. The head of a foundation-building family like Bai Zhanqiu was basically impossible to become a third-level formation master, and was unable to adjust the entire formation, let alone set traps in it.

Although Chen Qing's formation realm has been raised to the second level due to his innate ability, when facing this third-level formation, he has a hazy feeling of looking at a mountain in the fog. Obviously, with his formation realm, he cannot see through this third-level formation.

Upon entering the formation, the first thing you see is abundant spiritual energy. The spiritual energy of the entire main vein is restrained by the formation in this hill, making the spiritual energy here even more abundant, and it is in no way inferior to the spiritual vein in Wanren City.

Chen Qing had been in the Sanhe Gang for a long time, and now he suddenly entered this environment full of spiritual energy. He felt refreshed all over, and the Yin-Yang Transformation Technique started to operate on its own, constantly attracting the surrounding spiritual energy, making it surround Chen Qing and form a colorful spiritual halo.

Chen Qing took a deep breath of spiritual energy and then looked around.

This hill is not big, only about ten feet high, but there are many spiritual plants planted in the hill. Chen Qing even saw a few foundation-building spiritual creatures among them.

Take in the entire surrounding environment.

Chen Qing found an open space of about ten meters as the place for his next breakthrough.

The breakthrough of Jindan is extremely critical and is the second biggest threshold in the practice of cultivators. Although Chen Qing is confident that he can break through, he still has to be extremely cautious.
