My Optimized Immortal Life

Chen Qing's worries gradually subsided. After seeing the power of the Three Spirits Mysterious Fire Fan, he felt relieved. With the power displayed by the Three Spirits Mysterious Fire Fan, ordinary Jindan cultivators did not pose any threat to him, unless they were in the late Jindan stage like True Man Chi Yan.

He put away the Three Spirits Mysterious Fire Fan and returned to Qing Valley with Xu Lingxin, leaving behind only the charred black and ashes of the place after it was melted.

After returning to Qinggu, Chen Qing entered a state of hard training again, spending every day practicing and refining the Three Spirit Mysterious Fire Fan. Xu Lingxin would sometimes accompany him. Although Xu Lingxin is still in the false pill stage, her foundation is extremely solid. Chen Qing estimated that Xu Lingxin's success rate of breaking through to the Jindan stage is about 40%. With his assistance, the success rate can be increased by about 20%.

A 60% success rate is already extremely high for Jindan. Even the fake Dan stage seeds in Tianyuan Sect probably have the same success rate. However, due to the limited environment, Xu Lingxin does not want to break through at present.

I can't go to Linghua Island again, maybe Linghua Zhenren is still there.

Therefore, Xu Lingxin's breakthrough to the Jindan stage was delayed. After all, Xu Lingxin was only nearly forty years old and had not even reached a quarter of the lifespan of the foundation-building stage. She had plenty of time.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed. After this period of rest, Wanren City gradually regained its former prosperity. The number of cultivators coming and going continued to increase. Luo Qingfeng watched the increasing amount of spirit stones he earned, and a smile appeared on his face every day.

Chen Qing didn't think it was a big deal. He had long since despised the spirit stones that the Sanhe Gang gave him every year, so he reduced it by 10%. He then instructed Luo Qingfeng to find out more about the news in the entire Song Dynasty and to understand the current situation in the country.

That night, a cultivator flew out of the mountains and forests, came to the front of the formation, and revealed his face. It was Zhu Chiting, whom he had not seen for a long time.

The formation silently revealed a passage, and Zhu Chiting saw it and immediately walked into it.

As soon as he entered, he saw Chen Qing standing with his hands behind his back on a small slope, waiting for his arrival.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Chiting immediately came up to Chen Qing and bowed.

"Mr. Deputy Envoy."

Chen Qing said lightly after hearing this.

"Tell me about the number of people who have agreed to establish contact with the Void Sky Palace and explore the Great Wilderness Marsh."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Chiting immediately spoke.

"We have already reached an agreement with the Chu Family Patriarch, the Yang Family Patriarch, the Yang Family Patriarch, Master Mingzhen, and Fairy Xuanshui. However, they all said they want to meet the Deputy Envoy in person."

Chen Qing nodded.

It's already good enough to be able to win over five foundation-building cultivators. As for those cultivators who want to meet him, haha, then let them meet him.

"Tell them to go to Luoyang Mountain at noon tomorrow. I will wait for them there."

After a pause, Chen Qing continued.

"Thank you for your hard work during this period. This Red Sun Sword is no longer useful to me, so I'll give it to you."

He waved his hand and took out a red sword, wiped off the mark of magic power left on it, and then handed it to Zhu Chiting.

Zhu Chiting reached out to take it, and his spiritual sense probed into the Chiyang Sword, and he was immediately surprised.

This Chiyang Sword was actually a second-grade, top-grade spiritual weapon, and it seemed to have been nurtured by extremely high-quality mana, and its grade had reached the best among the second-grade, top-grade ones. Zhu Chiting immediately realized that this should be the spiritual weapon used by Chen Qing during his foundation-building period. Now that it was handed to him, it meant that Chen Qing had already achieved the Jindan stage.

He was extremely surprised, but his hands moved quickly as he put the Chiyang Sword into his dantian.

"Thank you for the reward, Deputy Envoy."

After hearing this, Chen Qing spoke again.

"No problem. From now on, you don't need to interact with other foundation-building cultivators. First, practice hard, refine the flying sword, and prepare to enter the Great Desolate Marsh."

"As ordered."

Zhu Chiting agreed and then turned and left.

Chen Qing watched Zhu Chiting leave, but was thinking about the list Zhu Chiting had just told him.

Chu, Yang, Xuanshui, they are all old acquaintances.

Chen Qing smiled. The ancestors of the Chu family, the ancestors and the head of the Yang family, as well as the Fairy Xuanshui, were all local forces before Wanren City was breached by the beast tide. After Wanren City was breached by the beast tide, independent cultivators such as Liu Shengzi reached an agreement with the True Man Chi Yan to enter Wanren City, which shook the status of these old forces.

So they agreed to Zhu Chiting and wanted to use Xutian Palace to protect their own interests.

Chen Qing was naturally aware of their little calculations, but he didn't care. After all, as long as they met tomorrow, they would change their minds about deepening their roots in Wanren City.

Wanren City's resources come from the Wanren Mountains, which in turn rely on the Great Wilderness Marsh. Now he has directly set the source in the Great Wilderness Marsh. Naturally, the benefits here far exceed what Wanren City gains.

Moreover, the Three Islands Alliance has already taken root in the Great Wilderness Marsh, which means that even a cultivator at the foundation-building stage can survive in the Great Wilderness Marsh as long as he finds the right place.

After all, although there are many third-level monsters in the Great Wilderness, most of them are active within their own territories. As long as Zhu Chiting and his team do not go too deep, the probability of encountering danger is not high.

In this way, the plan to explore the Great Wilderness can be officially launched. As long as a feasible path is explored, we can try to go to the center of the Southern Wilderness. The cultivation environment there is far superior to this remote area of ​​Song State. If we want to advance to the Nascent Soul stage, we must go there.

Chen Qing knew very well that the Jindan stage was the limit of what Song State could accommodate. In Song State, he could only cultivate to the late Jindan stage at most, and then he would have to find another way out. The Great Wilderness Lake was an excellent target for breakthrough.

I hope those who build foundations don't let me down...

Chen Qing looked at the full moon outside the formation with a very deep gaze.

The next day, noon.

Luoyang Mountain.

The ancestor of the Yang family stood on the top of the mountain, looked at the gray-robed old man flying over, and smiled.

"Old Ghost Chu, you're here too?"

The Chu family's ancestor snorted coldly when he saw it.

"If you, Yang Zhenxiong, can come here, why can't I?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Zhenxiong couldn't help but burst out laughing. Beside him, a middle-aged man stood up and bowed to the ancestor of the Chu family.

"Junior Yang Chongtian, the current head of the Yang family, greets Senior Chu Xiu."

Looking at Yang Chongtian, the dissatisfaction on Chu Xiu's face became more and more intense. Yang Zhenxiong was lucky. He had Yang Chongtian, who had just made a breakthrough in foundation building, to inherit the family business. Unlike the younger generations of his Chu family, none of them could accomplish anything.

The more he looked, the more annoyed he became. Chu Xiu simply turned his head away and stopped looking at Yang Chongtian and Yang Zhenxiong. Seeing this, Yang Zhenxiong smiled even more happily.

He and Chu Xiu were old acquaintances. They were both casual cultivators in Wanren City. They competed with each other all the way and broke through the foundation-building stage one after another. After establishing families around Wanren City, they also competed with each other. Now that his Yang family had a foundation-building cultivator, while the Chu family had not, Yang Zhenxiong naturally had to show off.

Chu Xiu stopped looking at the complacent Yang Zhenxiong and turned to look at his other two fellow practitioners, Master Mingzhen and Fairy Xuanshui.

Among these two, Master Mingzhen is a real Foundation Establishment Real Person, while Fairy Xuanshui is a fake Foundation Establishment Person, who only has the combat power of a Foundation Establishment with the help of spiritual weapons.

While Chu Xiu was looking at the two of them, the two of them were also looking at Chu Xiu, Yang Zhenxiong and Yang Chongtian.

Everyone didn't know each other beforehand, they just knew that there would be fellow foundation-building practitioners.

Just as everyone was looking at each other, Zhu Chiting appeared. He looked at everyone and said calmly.

"The Deputy Envoy has arrived. Please follow me to meet him."
