My Optimized Immortal Life

It took Chen Qing a full hour to refine this spiritual flame, and even consumed more than 50% of his magic power, but the result was gratifying.

Chen Qing wiped the sweat from his forehead and moved his fingers. The spiritual flame in front of him suddenly surged towards him like water, attached to his hand, and entered his meridians.

Chen Qing suddenly felt a tingling sensation in his meridians. Obviously, the strength of his meridians was not enough to withstand the power of this spiritual flame.

Seeing this, Chen Qing immediately mobilized the remaining magic power to protect his meridians, and at the same time guided the spiritual flame to enter his dantian.

As soon as the spiritual flame entered his dantian, it immediately rushed towards his golden elixir and attached to the surface of the golden elixir, but the golden elixir was not dissolved.

On the contrary, Chen Qing could feel that as the three-colored spiritual flames continued to burn, the solid mana condensed into the golden elixir was also being continuously tempered, and the connection between the Yin Fire and the Yang Fire became closer.

The three-colored spiritual flame seemed to be growing slowly under the nourishment of magic power.

After confirming that there was no other movement from the spiritual flame, Chen Qing withdrew his gaze and looked towards the lake of underground fire.

Even though it has lost the source of the three-colored spiritual flame, this lake of underground fire will not disappear immediately. After all, the spiritual energy contained in it has not dissipated. However, the lake will gradually shrink in the future until the underground fire disappears completely.

There are only about a hundred pieces of earth fire essence left in the storage bag, which is not enough for the subsequent cultivation. It seems that I have to refine a lot more earth fire essence here.

Chen Qing's spiritual consciousness penetrated into the storage bag, and he carefully counted the amount of remaining earth fire essence, and decided to stay here for a few more days.

When breaking through the Jindan stage on Linghua Island, Chen Qing wanted to reduce the noise, so he condensed the spiritual energy cloud. To stabilize the golden elixir, he extracted the pure fire spiritual energy from dozens of earth fire essences. After returning to the Sanhe Gang, he consumed a lot of earth fire essences to improve his cultivation, so the amount of earth fire essences he had on hand was a little insufficient.

Considering that a lot of earth fire essence is needed as material to refine the natal magic weapon, Chen Qing has to collect some more earth fire essence.

With this thought in mind, Chen Qing first sat down cross-legged to recover his magic power. Only after his magic power was fully recovered did he begin to refine the essence of the earth fire.

……

Sanhe Gang.

Luo Qingfeng sat on the main seat, and the head of the Wu Hall stood below and spoke slowly.

"Boss, with the reopening of Wanren City, our Sanhe Gang's business is gradually recovering. Judging from the current trend, by the end of the year, we will be able to earn at least 80,000 spirit stones!"

Listening to the words of the head of the Wu Hall, even though Luo Qingfeng had been the gang leader for several years, he still felt a little short of breath after hearing the number of 80,000 spirit stones.

Thanks to the presence of Jiang Yuhuo, a mid-stage foundation-building cultivator, their Sanhe Gang not only stabilized the Biqing River route, but also reached agreements with several other emerging forces in Wanren City. With the circulation of resources, the income from spirit stones naturally increased gradually. Even though a lot of them had to be handed over to Jiang Yuhuo, the remaining part was still enough to satisfy the group of Qi-refining cultivators in the main hall.

"but……"

But the head of Wu Hall suddenly changed the subject and spoke hesitantly.

"A few days ago, our gang's ship encountered a Poison Dragon Gang ship on the Biqing River. On board that ship was Xiao Hu, the son of the Poison Dragon Gang leader. He was usually arrogant and domineering, and then he clashed with the gang's monks and was injured by them. Gang leader, how do you resolve this matter?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yan immediately spoke.

"Xiao Hu is notorious throughout Wanren City. He has offended many gangs and has had many conflicts with us before. If he gets hurt, then so be it. There's no need to worry. Could it be that his father, Xiao Long, will come back to attack us?"

The head of Wu Hall turned to look at Wang Yan and sighed.

"Temple Master Wang's words make sense, but the Poison Dragon Gang's leader, Xiao Long, is a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. He is sinister and vicious, and he usually protects Xiao Hu the most. We in the Sanhe Gang must be prepared."

Luo Qingfeng felt a headache immediately after hearing this.

The Poison Dragon Gang is a gang that has been established on the Biqing River for decades. Its leader, Xiao Long, was originally just a bandit. Later, he got some opportunities and achieved the foundation-building stage, so he established the Poison Dragon Gang. Later, he married and had a child, Xiao Hu. However, Xiao Hu's aptitude is not as good as Xiao Long's. After years of practice, his cultivation level is only the fourth level of Qi Refining. However, relying on his father who is a foundation-building cultivator, he is arrogant and domineering on weekdays, and has done countless things to bully independent cultivators.

There was a cultivator who couldn't stand Xiao Hu's style and taught him a lesson. The next day, Xiao Long came to his door and beat him up. In the end, he had to give up his cultivation.

Now Xiao Hu had a conflict with their Sanhe Gang and was even injured by the monks in their gang.

Although Luo Qingfeng knew that Jiang Yuhuo was behind him, there was no record of Jiang Yuhuo taking action in Wanren City. When he killed the two second-level monsters, only the cultivators in the gang saw it.

Even if the monks in the gang pass on this news, it is hard to say whether other monks will believe it.

So although Luo Qingfeng had some guesses in his heart about whether Xiao Long would come to him, he had no idea without asking Jiang Yuhuo.

"This matter concerns many people. Let me ask Lord Jiang first, and then we can discuss it."

Luo Qingfeng knew very well that since the head of the Wu Hall had brought up the matter in the main hall, he naturally hoped that he would ask Jiang Yuhuo and ask the latter to cover the entire Sanhe Gang.

With a sigh in his heart, Luo Qingfeng once again felt powerless because of his low level of cultivation.

He has been practicing hard since Chen Qing arrived, but how could he break through the bottleneck from the ninth level of Qi Refining to the tenth level of Qi Refining so easily?

What's more, his qualifications were only mid-grade spiritual roots, not even as good as Zhu Chiting's top-grade spiritual roots.

Up to now, he has only broken through 30% of the bottleneck of the tenth level of Qi Refining. If he wants to break through to the tenth level of Qi Refining, it will take at least another year.

Not to mention that after the tenth level of Qi Refining, there is still the hurdle of Foundation Establishment.

Thinking of this, Luo Qingfeng thought of Zhu Chiting again.

The latter has a top-grade spiritual root and his cultivation speed is much faster than his. However, since Jiang Yuhuo came, Zhu Chiting has been in seclusion, and his cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds. He broke through the tenth level of Qi Refining a few months ago. Recently, Zhu Chiting proposed to quit the gang, and Luo Qingfeng agreed, but he couldn't see through Zhu Chiting's cultivation level.

Jiang Yuhuo was originally brought here by Zhu Chiting, and the relationship between the two is much closer than that between Chen Qing and the Sanhe Gang.

Luo Qingfeng suspected that Zhu Chiting had received funding from Jiang Yuhuo, which was why his cultivation had improved so rapidly.

But even if we know this, what can we do?

He walked out of the lobby, looked at the setting sun in the sky, and couldn't help but laugh at himself.

His father had personally established the Sanhe Gang and reached agreements with many surrounding forces, paying an unknown price, but those forces were all overthrown by the beast tide. Although the Sanhe Gang survived, it had to look at Jiang Yuhuo's face and had to ask him about all major matters. Now that it had a conflict with the Poison Dragon Gang, it had to seek refuge from him.

All these things made his father's efforts look like a joke.

This world of cultivating immortals has always been the world of the strong!
