My Optimized Immortal Life

Seeing the two people coming, Chen Qing waved his hands and sent out two rays of light, which fell into the hands of the two people and turned into tokens. Then he spoke.

"I have set up a formation here. Only with the tokens in your hands can you enter."

After a pause, he continued.

"This place is rich in spiritual energy, which is helpful for my cultivation. I will be cultivating here from now on. If there is anything on weekdays, the leader can go and explain it to Deputy Leader Zhu, and then have him tell me."

As soon as Chen Qing opened his mouth, he took the spiritual vein for himself, which made Luo Qingfeng feel bitter, but he had no choice but to agree.

But he changed his mind and thought, since Chen Qing moved his residence here, he naturally could not supervise the Sanhe Gang as usual. This meant that he, as the leader of the Sanhe Gang, could take better care of the gang without having to act according to Chen Qing's mood. As for Zhu Chiting, that guy had been staying at home all day since Chen Qing came to the gang, and only showed up when discussing some things within the gang, so there was no need to worry too much.

Therefore, it is actually a good thing for Chen Qing to occupy the spiritual vein here.

Wang Yan stood aside. As a hall master, he had no say in such matters, so he remained silent and said nothing.

After Chen Qing finished speaking, Luo Qingfeng asked again.

"Master Jiang, that other black jade essence vein..."

Before he could finish, Chen Qing said impatiently.

"When I have time, I will naturally go and kill the monsters there. Moreover, I just killed two monsters. Although I am not injured, my magic power has been depleted. How can I kill the monsters there again!"

The coldness in Chen Qing's words was not concealed at all. At the same time, Luo Qingfeng also felt an indescribable spiritual pressure slowly emanating from Chen Qing's body, pressing on his heart, making him feel cold all over.

Upon seeing this, Wang Yan spoke immediately.

"Master Jiang, the gang leader has been planning to expand the gang, so he's inevitably a little impatient. This offense was unintentional. Please forgive me, Master Jiang."

Chen Qing glanced at Wang Yan, then at Luo Qingfeng. Seeing the latter's face full of fear, he snorted coldly and stopped questioning the two.

Seeing this, Luo Qingfeng and Wang Yan both breathed a sigh of relief. After bowing to Chen Qing again, they immediately retreated from the formation.

……

The news that the Sanhe Gang had discovered these two resource points was no secret, but the nearby forces were all licking their wounds from the beast tide and could not spare any manpower, so they could only watch as the Sanhe Gang sent out personnel to occupy these two resource points.

During this process, Chen Qing also set up his own cave on this spiritual vein.

However, this spiritual vein seems to be a newly born small-scale primary spiritual vein. Both the spiritual energy concentration and the spiritual vein scale are far smaller than those normal small-scale primary spiritual veins. But it is precisely because of this that this spiritual vein has not been known by the four sects, and the Luo Yun Gang has the ability to cover up this spiritual vein.

This was not a good thing for Chen Qing. Even a normal small-scale primary-level spiritual vein could only barely satisfy his daily practice. If he let go of this spiritual vein for practice, he was afraid that it would be completely drained and turned into a dry vein.

However, Chen Qing could try to set up a formation here, and use the formation to draw spiritual energy to nourish the spiritual vein, speed up its growth, and upgrade it to a medium-sized spiritual vein or even a large spiritual vein.

However, this is destined to be a long process, which may take several decades. But for Chen Qing, who has already achieved Jindan and has a lifespan of 500 years, it is still acceptable.

At the same time, the spiritual vein here can also be used as a place for Xu Lingxin to break through to the Jindan stage.

When Chen Qing broke through to the Jindan stage, the spiritual energy cloud needed to be condensed by himself by attracting the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth. But when Xu Lingxin formed the Jindan stage, he could use the power of the formation to condense the spiritual energy cloud in advance, which could hide the movement of Xu Lingxin's breakthrough to the Jindan stage and make the four sects unable to detect it.

After bringing Xu Lingxin here, Chen Qing began his secluded life again.

He has now been promoted to the Jindan stage, and seems to have reached the highest level in the Song Dynasty's cultivation world. However, in fact, he is still far from being able to freely display his identity.

First, he achieved the Jindan stage, but he did not have time to forge his natal magic weapon, because the timing of this Jindan stage was extremely critical, as the four sects were all focused on the Wanren City incident. Even so, Chen Qing had to run away as soon as he achieved the Jindan stage, and he had no time to forge his natal magic weapon.

Secondly, the natal magic weapon of a Jindan cultivator is extremely important. It is a magic weapon that grows with the cultivator. The selection of materials and forging must be done with great care, and low-level materials cannot be used for casual refining.

However, Chen Qing currently does not have any third-level spiritual materials. Even if he wants to refine a magic weapon, he cannot do anything without the necessary ingredients.

His cultivation is now stable and it is difficult to make any progress in a short period of time, so the next focus is to refine his own magic weapon.

High-level spiritual materials are still extremely difficult to find in Song State, a place with a shortage of spiritual energy. After all, all the high-level spiritual veins are occupied by the four sects, and the spiritual materials produced near the spiritual veins are naturally also controlled by the four sects.

Chen Qing did not intend to steal spiritual materials from the four sects. Although high-level spiritual materials were difficult to find, he still had a way. The key was the Sky Valley where he practiced when he was building his foundation.

It has been mentioned before that the Earth Fire Veins are essentially formed by the fourth-order Earth Fire Source being downgraded and assimilated into the surrounding rocks to form Earth Fire Essence, which is then transformed into Earth Fire. Therefore, each Earth Fire Vein represents a fourth-order fire spiritual material. For cultivators like Chen Qing who practice fire-based techniques, such spiritual materials are most suitable for refining their own magical instruments.

This was also the key reason why Chen Qing was so excited when he learned that there was a vein of underground fire in the Tianqiong Valley.

The essence of earth fire can help him quickly accumulate the magic power needed to build the foundation. After breaking through the pill formation stage, the source of earth fire can also be used as material for refining his own magic weapon. This is his opportunity.

There is no rush to obtain the source of the earth fire. After all, Tianqiong Valley has been there for hundreds and thousands of years. The most important thing is that there is still the earth evil energy there. Ordinary cultivators are restrained by the earth evil energy and cannot explore in depth. The Jindan cultivators will suffer from mana loss due to the lack of spiritual energy in that area. Therefore, there are very few Jindan cultivators who pay attention to that area, so Chen Qing is not worried.

What he needs to worry about now is his attainments in refining equipment. Although with the help of his natural ability, he has become a peak-level second-level equipment refiner, but he has not yet reached the third level. Refining a third-level natal magic weapon will definitely be more difficult, and there is even a risk of refining failure. Therefore, he has to find some third-level equipment refining jade slips.

Previously, when he was in the Sky Valley, he used his innate abilities to break through the four arts of cultivation to the second level. However, due to the lack of the relevant jade slips for the third level, none of the four skills broke through to the third level.

This time he was preparing to refine a third-level natal magic weapon. Although his realm was sufficient to refine it, in order to be on the safe side, he still had to wait until the weapon broke through the third level and obtained the source of earth fire before he could start refining.
