My Optimized Immortal Life

Generally speaking, a cultivator in the foundation-building stage must practice a second-level technique that is in line with the attributes of his own spiritual roots. No one will buy any other techniques unless it is a third-level technique. But at this moment, Xiao Long saw Chen Qing bid for three second-level techniques in one breath, which made him a little confused. After all, Jiang Yuhuo was already in the middle stage of the foundation-building stage and seemed to be quite old. It would be inappropriate to change the technique at this time.

As if noticing Xiao Long's confusion, Chen Qing explained with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao knows that the Sanhe Gang has been expanding rapidly recently and is short on manpower, especially masters in the late Qi Refining stage. Therefore, I'm going to take some techniques back with me. With the help of the second-level techniques, even if no one can achieve the Foundation Establishment stage, the number of cultivators in the late Qi Refining stage will increase, right?"

Xiao Long nodded.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, please be reassured. From what I know, Leader Luo of the Sanhe Gang seems to have already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, and is only one step away from the tenth level. With the help of a second-level technique, I'm afraid he might be able to establish his foundation."

Hearing this, Chen Qing smiled.

"Foundation building is incredibly difficult. As a casual cultivator, Gang Leader Xiao naturally knows the ins and outs of it. Luo Qingfeng may have outstanding aptitude, but he's still relatively inexperienced. If Gang Leader Xiao could sponsor him with a foundation-building pill, that would certainly help him achieve success."

Xiao Long's expression froze, the smile on his face paused for a moment, and then he responded.

"Fellow Daoist, you're really joking. Foundation Establishment Pills are so rare that even in Wanren City, they can probably only be seen at auctions. Any one of them can be sold for thousands of spirit stones."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing shook his head and turned to look at Liu Shengzi.

Liu Shengzi naturally also noticed Chen Qing who took pictures of the three martial arts books, and he muttered to himself in his heart.

"Jiang Yuhuo? He seems to be a worshiper of the Sanhe Gang, but he's not well-known. Few people in the surrounding areas of Wanren City have heard of his deeds."

He said as he thought about it.

"Since no one has made an offer, these three manuals belong to Fellow Daoist Jiang."

He waved his hand, and the three jade slips were immediately wrapped up by magic power and flew towards where Chen Qing was. Chen Qing reached out to take them, held the three jade slips in his hand, sensed them with his spiritual sense, and after confirming that they were complete, he took out a storage bag and gave it to Liu Shengzi with the same magic power.

Yagyuko took the storage bag, confirmed the number of spirit stones, and started auctioning the next item.

This transaction method is very different from ordinary auctions and is a characteristic of the Song Dynasty's independent cultivators.

After all, the foundation-building cultivators of Song State have long united and acted in unison. In places like auctions where resources are traded, they all maintain the rules together and will not directly rob. Of course, it would be different if it happened in private.

That's why Yagyuko handed over the martial arts skills to Chen Qing in public.

However, there are indeed very few people who buy martial arts techniques, especially those like Chen Qing who bought three books at one time. This attracted the attention of most cultivators.

But most cultivators only knew about Jiang Yuhuo. When they saw the real person today and found that he was an old man with white hair and beard, they all turned their eyes away.

Chen Qing sat there, very calm. The stares of a group of foundation-building cultivators were not worth his attention, and were even less important than the three martial arts books he had just bought.

As for the reason for photographing the martial arts techniques, it was naturally to enrich the database of innate abilities.

After all, the deduction and optimization of innate abilities all depend on Chen Qing's own accumulation. The more skills he accumulates, the more he can absorb during optimization, which will be more conducive to advancing Chen Qing's path.

Yagyuko auctioned a total of more than twenty items, including second-level spiritual weapons, skills, and various spiritual materials. It can be considered comprehensive, but for a Jindan cultivator like Chen Qing, the quality is a bit low.

After the auction ended, it was naturally time for the transaction. A casual cultivator who had just established his foundation stood up and spoke.

"I have a second-level green jade sand here, and I want to exchange it for some elixirs to improve my cultivation. Are there any fellow Taoists who would like to exchange it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a monk immediately answered.

"I just happen to have a few Guiyuan Pills left. Would you be willing to accept them?"

Seeing that they had common resources, the two men immediately walked to a corner and communicated secretly through voice transmission to discuss the price.

Seeing this, Yagyuko waved his hand, and another monk stood up and stated his needs.

Green jade sand is an auxiliary material needed in the refining of many spiritual weapons. It can improve the material of the spiritual material, allowing it to accommodate more magic arrays and restrictions, and enhance the power of the spiritual weapon. However, it is useless for third-level magic weapons.

Chen Qing watched, while Xiao Long beside him was also listening carefully to the requests and rewards of other cultivators. This was an opportunity for them to exchange resources, which was extremely difficult to obtain for independent cultivators. Especially for cultivators like him who had power, they would always collect some spiritual materials on weekdays, many of which they could not use themselves, and they were just waiting to exchange for some spiritual materials or resources that were useful to them.

The exchange process lasted for half an hour in total. After most people had completed the exchange and no one made any more requests, Yagyuko announced that the auction was over, and the group of casual cultivators gathered here left one after another.

Xiao Long exchanged for a lot of spiritual materials and elixirs that he lacked, and he was in a very happy mood at this time. He looked at Chen Qing and spoke.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, why don't you buy some Guiyuan Pills to improve your cultivation?"

Chen Qingying said.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, I am old and my Qi and blood are declining. I have been stuck in the bottleneck of the middle stage for several years. I think a few bottles of pills will be of no help. It is better to save some spirit stones and use them for my old age."

Xiao Long was deeply touched when he heard this.

"Yes, I've been working hard for three years to break through the bottleneck of the middle stage of foundation building. If I want to advance to the late stage, I estimate it will take several more decades. This practice is really difficult."

Chen Qing heard this and said.

"Thank you for bringing me here to participate in the auction. If there is a next time, please let me know in advance so that I can make more preparations."

The two men exchanged farewell greetings and then left. After all, although the Sanhe Gang and the Dulong Gang were both affiliated with the Biqing River, they were located far apart. Xiao Long was also worried about Chen Qing, so he naturally would not leave with him.

Chen Qing was happy about this, but unlike Xiao Long who left in a hurry, he simply flew away from Huayue Peak on his flying boat and then landed on a small hill a few miles away.

He looked back at Huayue Peak. With the range of his spiritual sense, he could naturally sense that on Huayue Peak, the Jindan-level magical aura belonging to Nie Xunxian had not yet gone away.

Around him, the magical aura of Yagyuko and several other foundation-building cultivators was also the same.

It seems that Yagyuko has established a relationship with the Mishima Alliance.

With Chen Qing's strong spiritual sense, he could naturally not only sense the magical aura of these people, he could even extend his spiritual sense to Huayue Peak to eavesdrop on what they were talking about. However, this would risk being noticed by Nie Xunxian, so Chen Qing did not spread his spiritual sense.

He planned to follow Nie Xunxian to see what plans Linghua Zhenren's confidant had at the moment, and then analyze Linghua Zhenren's actions based on this.
