My Optimized Immortal Life

Although Zhu Chiting's mission is only to contact the forces around Wanren City, it will also take a long time and no results will be seen in the short term.

But Chen Qing was not idle. He found some time and quietly returned to Tianqiong Valley. Following the passage built when he was building his foundation, he found the cave made of black jade.

Passing through the cave, he once again came to the Earth Fire Lake where he had refined the essence of the Earth Fire.

Now, only a few years have passed since he first refined the essence of earth fire, and the surface of the lake of earth fire is still much lower than it was at the beginning. The amount of earth fire essence that Chen Qing refined at the time was really too much, and it could not be recovered in just a few years.

Looking at the Earth Fire Lake in front of him, Chen Qing's spiritual sense spread out wantonly, taking in everything within a radius of about thirty miles. He found the veins of the Earth Fire Lake. A few miles away from the Earth Fire Lake, there was another Earth Fire Lake that was several times larger than this lake. In it, he sensed an extremely rich fire spiritual energy.

Obviously, the source of the fourth-level earth fire is among them.

At the same time, Chen Qing also discovered the connection between the evil energy here and the earth veins. The earth energy was constantly gathering in the earth veins, accumulating a thick evil energy here.

It turns out that the evil energy of the earth is actually accumulated from the earth's energy.

Seeing this scene, Chen Qing suddenly showed a look of enlightenment. After he mastered the art of looking at qi with the help of his innate ability, he also knew something about the earth's energy and weather, but he still had only a vague understanding of how the evil energy of the earth was formed. Now seeing this scene, he immediately understood the source.

However, knowing and utilizing are two different things. Chen Qing currently has no means to utilize the Earthly Evil Qi. The magic power in the cultivator's body will be suppressed and dissolved by the Earthly Evil Qi. Even cultivators in the Jindan stage cannot avoid it. Only cultivators in the Yuanying stage are immune to the effects of the Earthly Evil Qi. Therefore, if Chen Qing can learn how to utilize the Earthly Evil Qi, he will be invincible in fighting.

Since the black jade essence can resist the evil energy of the earth, we can start from it and see if we can find a way to use the evil energy of the earth.

Keeping this idea in mind, Chen Qing gathered his distracting thoughts and focused his attention on the source of the underground fire.

He was suspended over the lake of underground fire, his feet in the air. As his spiritual consciousness locked onto the location of the source of the underground fire, he began to make hand gestures with his hands, and the magic power of the Jindan period slowly flowed through his body. As Chen Qing pointed a finger, a ray of spiritual light shot out from between his fingers and landed on the stone wall beside him in an instant.

The stone wall immediately dissolved under Chen Qing's finger light, revealing a small path that was dozens of meters long.

This is a small use of the Yin-Yang Mysterious Light. Its power is naturally not as strong as when Chen Qing fought with the two big monsters before, but it is extremely efficient when used to open a passage like in front of him.

The Yin-Yang Transformation Technique was obtained by Chen Qing using the five-part technique and optimizing his innate abilities. It is based on the fusion of Yin and Yang and the fire technique. When a cultivator practices this technique, he does not cultivate only one kind of magic power, but cultivates Yin Fire and Yang Fire magic power separately.

Although the two are opposite, because they belong to the same fire-type magic power, under the stimulation of the skills, they can merge with each other like real yin and yang, and transform into a special magic power with extremely destructive power.

Chen Qing's Yin-Yang Reverse Light is also based on this kind of magic power and is deduced from his innate ability.

When Chen Qing was building his foundation before, the Yin-Yang Reverse Light could easily break through the physical body of a demon beast in the late stage of foundation building. Now that he has achieved the Jindan stage, the power of this method has naturally increased. However, Chen Qing has not tried it yet, so he does not know how powerful this spell is now.

With the help of this magic, Chen Qing quickly traveled underground. In just a few incense sticks of time, he walked several miles away and came to the lake of underground fire where the source of the underground fire was located.

Looking around, I saw that within a few hundred meters in front of me, there was blazing underground fire. These underground fires were emitting terrifying heat all the time, constantly melting the surrounding rock walls and turning them into part of them.

At this time, Chen Qing had already put up a protective spiritual shield. Although his body had undergone another transformation after breaking through the Jindan stage, it was still difficult for him to resist the earth fire. However, the Yin-Yang Transformation Technique he practiced was a top-notch fire-based technique, which contained the means to resist and even control the earth fire. Therefore, Chen Qing could still roam freely in this lake of earth fire.

The divine consciousness has locked onto the location of the source of the underground fire, which is exactly in the center of this lake of underground fire. However, there is more than just the source of the underground fire in this lake of underground fire.

Because he had put up the protective spiritual shield, Chen Qing naturally exposed his own magical aura, which attracted the attention of certain beings in the Lake of Earth Fire.

Chen Qing looked to the front left and saw a snake-like creature with its entire body surrounded by earth fire and red inside appearing in front of him.

That is the Earth Fire Spirit Snake. Unlike ordinary monsters, this spirit snake is a creature nurtured by the source of earth fire in the process of emitting fire spiritual energy. Its entire body is made up of earth fire, and the red snake body in the center is the essence of the earth fire condensed by itself.

When he saw this Earth Fire Spirit Snake, Chen Qing showed a look of joy.

The Earth Fire Spirit Snake, whose entire body is formed by the essence of earth fire, is a ready-made essence of earth fire for cultivators. It is also a spiritual material with spiritual properties, and is more precious than ordinary earth fire essence.

For Chen Qing, the spiritual essence of earth fire is very suitable for refining his natal magic weapon. It can increase the spirituality of the magic weapon and is extremely beneficial for refining it into a spiritual treasure in the future.

This place is indeed the source of the earth's fire. There is even such a thing as the Earth's Fire Spirit Snake. It is truly God's help.

Chen Qing did not hesitate any longer and immediately took action, trying to catch the Earth Fire Spirit Snake.

But the Earth Fire Spirit Snake was born in the earth fire, and all its abilities are related to the earth fire. Chen Qing's magic power is also fire magic power. Although there is a distinction between yin and yang, it is vulnerable to the touch of the Earth Fire Spirit Snake. The latter is extremely flexible in the earth fire, and it avoided Chen Qing's capture while twisting and moving.

Chen Qing let out a light exclamation and once again mobilized his magic power, trying to capture the Earth Fire Spirit Snake.

This kind of spirit snake is made up of the essence of earth and fire, and it is difficult for it to survive magic attacks. Therefore, it is not advisable to attack it directly with magic. It can only be captured with magic power and then refined.

As if it realized that Chen Qing was not easy to mess with, the underground fire snake immediately swam towards the depths of the underground fire after escaping Chen Qing's capture.

Chen Qing's attempt to capture the snake failed again, but he was not discouraged. Instead, he suddenly smiled and followed the direction where the Earth Fire Spirit Snake left.

The source of the underground fire is right here and will not move, but the underground fire veins derived from it stretch for dozens of miles around. If this underground fire snake escapes, it will be difficult for Chen Qing to catch it again.

He immediately plunged into the depths of the earth fire, locking his spiritual consciousness on the fleeing earth fire spirit snake. Relying on the magic power of the Jindan period, he quickly closed the distance between him and the earth fire spirit snake.

In this lake of underground fire, due to the source of the underground fire, the fire-type spiritual energy is very abundant, so Chen Qing's mana is also replenished, and he does not have to worry about excessive consumption of mana, which will make him unable to escape from the lake of underground fire.
