My Optimized Immortal Life

Chen Qing watched Xiao Long leave with a calm expression.

Luo Qingfeng stood at the entrance of the lobby, watching Xiao Long walk out, glanced at him, and then turned into a beam of light and flew away.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that Jiang Yuhuo did not have any conflict with Xiao Long.

He walked into the lobby and saw Chen Qingzheng standing up from the high seat, and immediately bowed to him.

"Master Jiang, Gang Leader Xiao..."

Chen Qing waved his hand.

"The trouble has been solved, but I still need to be more careful next time."

"Yes." Luo Qingfeng said yes verbally, and then watched Chen Qing leave.

He turned his head to look at the high seat in the lobby and suddenly sighed.

After leaving the Sanhe Gang, Chen Qing returned to the spirit vein. This small, primary-level spirit vein was located in a valley, surrounded by trees and lush greenery. Chen Qing named it: Qinggu.

Simple and clear, you can understand it at a glance, very good.

After returning to Qinggu, Chen Qing continued to condense the essence of earth and fire. Thanks to his attainments in formation, he was able to condense the essence of earth and fire much faster than ordinary Jindan cultivators. In the process, he also gradually adapted to his extremely condensed Jindan true essence and gained complete control over it, which was very crucial for his subsequent practice.

For cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, the focus is on accumulating the quantity of mana. During the Foundation Establishment Stage, the focus is on accumulating the quality of mana. When it comes to the Core Formation Stage, the focus is on accumulating the balance of mana.

All cultivators have five spiritual roots, but they have different deviations. Some have prominent gold spiritual roots, while others have inferior water spiritual roots. However, when practicing, some five elements magic power will accumulate in the body. This does not have much impact in the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages, but it is extremely critical after the Dan is formed.

After forming the elixir, the cultivator's mana has reached the accumulation limit in terms of both quantity and quality. At this time, the cultivator's practice is mainly to balance the mana in the body, so that his own mana can become perfect and harmonious.

The Yin-Yang Transformation Technique that Chen Qing practiced was to balance the Yin-Fire magic power and the Yang-Fire magic power in the body. These two kinds of magic power each encompassed the other four kinds of magic power, saving Chen Qing's energy and reducing the difficulty of balancing the five elements of magic power.

But even so, Chen Qing's current cultivation progress has slowed down visibly.

Practicing for two hours every day can only make a little progress. According to his current practice speed, it will take at least fifty years to break through to the middle stage of Jindan.

However, compared with his 500-year lifespan as a Jindan Zhenren, this time is still acceptable.

Chen Qing stayed in Qing Valley for a few more days and condensed two pieces of Earth Fire Essence. Then Xiao Long came to him again and took Chen Qing to the auction venue held by Liu Shengzi.

The two of them rode on Xiao Long's flying boat, suspended high in the air, passing over many mountains that were swirling like dragons and snakes.

Xiao Long stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the magnificent scenery in front of him, and spoke.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, the auction will be held on Huayue Peak. This is the place where True Man Chiyan gathered many independent cultivators to fight against monsters. The successful recapture of Wanren City this time was thanks to True Man Chiyan and the other two Jindan True Men. Therefore, Senior Liu Shengzi decided to hold the auction here."

Hearing this, Chen Qing replied.

"I have heard about the battle in which the three Immortals recaptured Wanren City, but I know very little about the details. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Xiao knows anything about it?"

Xiao Long smiled and pointed to the big sun in the sky.

Seeing this, Chen Qing turned his gaze to Da Ri.

I saw the sun hanging high in the sky, with endless light and heat emanating from it, making the world bright.

"That day when I was battling the Purple-Winged Green-Scaled Peng, True Man Chi Yan activated his famous magic weapon, the Red Spirit Nine Flame Ring, and two suns appeared in the sky. Fellow Daoist, tell me, how powerful were these?"

Chen Qing sighed when he heard this.

"Two huge suns! Such power is probably enough to burn mountains and fill the sea. As expected of a Jindan True Person, his moves are beyond the reach of Foundation Establishment cultivators like us."

Xiao Long nodded, then continued.

"It's naturally difficult to catch up with Jindan True Immortals. They have the support of the sect behind them, so we independent cultivators are naturally not comparable. The Song Kingdom's cultivation world has developed for nearly a thousand years, and there have only been a few Jindan independent cultivators."

The two exchanged some information about the items to be auctioned at the auction. Chen Qing learned that the purpose of holding this auction was to deal with the resources obtained by a group of independent cultivators led by Liu Shengzi who entered Wanren City and cleared out the remaining forces.

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing immediately became very interested.

After all, Wanren City is the largest market for independent cultivators in the entire Song State. It is backed by the Wanren Mountains and has countless natural treasures. Those forces that depend on Wanren City have received countless benefits. Now that they have been cleared out, most of the resources must have fallen into the hands of foreign independent cultivators such as Liu Shengzi, and there will definitely be third-level spiritual materials among them.

It is difficult for Foundation Establishment cultivators to refine third-level spiritual materials, so they usually trade these spiritual materials to exchange for other resources that are more beneficial to their own cultivation. Therefore, Chen Qing may find third-level fire spiritual materials in this auction.

In this way, he can try to refine his own magic weapon.

I hope I can get what I want this time.

Xiao Long flew the flying boat for almost half an hour before arriving at Huayue Peak.

After all, although he is a foundation-building cultivator, he cannot fly in the air for a long time, and the flying boat under his feet is only a first-grade top-grade one. The price of a second-grade flying boat is not affordable for a casual cultivator like him, so the speed will inevitably be much slower.

As they approached Huayue Peak, Chen Qing discovered that there were more than one flying boats arriving here. Dozens of flying boats were hovering in the surrounding mountains and forests. The light of flying boats was constantly passing by the horizon. Many cultivators were flying magic weapons among the flying boats, and it was extremely lively.

Chen Qing took a quick look. Now that he had advanced to the Jindan stage, he didn't need to activate the Qi-gazing technique. With his own magic power alone, he could see the cultivation level of all the cultivators present.

There were probably hundreds of cultivators who arrived, among whom there were about a hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators, and the rest were minor Qi Refining cultivators. Among those one hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators, the vast majority were only in the initial stage of Foundation Establishment, and there were very few in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

Well, no.

Chen Qing's eyes swept across the platform at the top of Huayue Peak. There was a formation set up on the platform, but its grade was not high enough to block his sight. He looked inside and found that there seemed to be a Jindan Zhenren inside, accompanied by several cultivators in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

Chen Qing frowned slightly, activated the Qi-gazing technique, and looked inside again. He saw that the man's magic power was condensed to the extreme. It was indeed the golden elixir essence unique to a Jindan Zhenren, and there was also a sharp sword intent flowing in his meridians.

This person is...

Chen Qing's Qi-gazing technique was no longer the original version. It was a new version deduced through his innate ability after combining more than a dozen exercises. His ability to detect spirits and qi far exceeded that of his Qi-refining technique. Therefore, even if the Jindan cultivator had several layers of cover on his body, he could still see through them. However, after seeing the man's true appearance, Chen Qing was shocked.

Nie Xunxian? Why is he here?
