My Optimized Immortal Life

The flying boat entered the Great Wilderness Swamp and advanced for several miles. Its speed was much slower than when it was in the Wanren Mountains. However, Chen Qing deliberately slowed down the speed for safety reasons to prevent any accidents.

Even so, after an hour, the flying boat had penetrated dozens of miles into the Great Wilderness Swamp.

The landforms in the Great Wilderness Marsh are completely different from those in the Wanren Mountains. Most of it is water, interconnected and extremely vast, with seemingly no end in sight. Occasionally, there are small hills emerging between several bodies of water, but they are only about a hundred meters wide.

However, there is abundant spiritual energy inside, which is much better than the Wanren Mountains.

Because there were hills all around and fog obscured the distance, Chen Qing lowered the altitude of the flying boat so that it was only suspended nearly a hundred meters above the water.

Xu Lingxin had never been to the Great Wilderness Marsh, and the scene before her was eye-opening for her. She couldn't help but look around and admire the scenery.

It’s a bit strange to say, although the entire Great Wilderness Swamp is shrouded in mist, it is not dark inside, and the sunlight seems to be able to penetrate the mist and shine into it.

The two continued to go deeper into the Great Wilderness Marsh. Although Chen Qing decided to cross the Great Wilderness Marsh, it was so vast and boundless, much larger than the State of Song. Even with Chen Qing's current cultivation level, it would take at least half a month to cross the State of Song, let alone the Great Wilderness Marsh.

Therefore, Chen Qing wanted to first find a place where spiritual veins grew, settle down there, and then explore the surrounding areas to find the edge of the Great Wilderness Swamp.

Although there is abundant spiritual energy in the Great Wilderness, it is not easy to find a place with abundant spiritual energy. Although Chen Qing has the ability to see through the air, he is limited by the fog and the terrain he can observe is limited, so it is also difficult to deduce the location of the spiritual vein.

But that was all. The flying boat had already traveled dozens of miles in the Great Wilderness. Along the way, Chen Qing took in all the terrain around him. He nodded slightly and deduced that this was enough for him to find a place with spiritual veins.

After going several miles deeper, the concentration of spiritual energy in the surrounding heaven and earth gradually increased, which made Xu Lingxin notice it. She looked at Chen Qing and asked.

"Husband, is there a spiritual vein ahead?"

Chen Qing nodded, then turned his gaze forward, as if seeing through the endless fog.

"The spiritual vein ahead seems to be of a much better grade than the one in Qinggu. It should be an elementary-level medium-sized spiritual vein."

After saying this, Xu Lingxin also looked forward.

"A medium-sized spiritual vein is more than enough to satisfy the cultivation of a Jindan cultivator."

Chen Qing nodded.

"It's a bit of a stretch, but the spiritual energy in the Great Wilderness Marsh is abundant. If we set up a large spiritual gathering formation and raise the spiritual energy concentration in the center of the spiritual vein to the level of a large spiritual vein, it will be enough for a Jindan cultivator to practice."

Xu Lingxin smiled when she heard that.

She understood what Chen Qing meant. This place was sufficient for the cultivation of a Jindan cultivator. In other words, she could try to break through to the Jindan stage here.

The flying boat sailed forward for a few more miles and saw a wide expanse of water. The lake was calm and clear, and in the center of the water was a small island several hundred meters long.

When Chen Qing saw this, he knew at a glance that this was the place with the spiritual vein.

However, this place has already been owned by someone.

As soon as the flying boat that Chen Qing was riding entered this place, ripples began to appear on the calm surface of the lake, and a demonic aura rose from the small island in the center of the water.

The formation set up by Chen Qing on the flying boat can only block the perception of second-level monsters at most, but it has no effect on third-level monsters. The scene before them was undoubtedly the third-level monster occupying the spiritual vein here that saw through the formation and sensed the breath of the two. Seeing this, Xu Lingxin was not panicked. She knew that although this was a third-level monster, its breath was far superior to hers, but still inferior to Chen Qing, so Xu Lingxin was not worried.

The surface of the lake was turbulent, and the demonic aura of a third-level great demon was revealed wantonly. All the first-level fish demons in the surrounding waters fled, not daring to stay here any longer.

On the small island in the center of the water, a fish monster several meters long slowly rose into the air. It had a slender body and tentacles wrapped around its body. The most eye-catching thing was that there were two huge bulges above its head, from which half of the keratin had extended, like dragon horns.

Ordinary fish monsters have fat heads, dull eyes, and low intelligence, but this fish monster has undergone a transformation. Its bloodline has become apparent, its fat head has shrunk, and its eyes have become long and narrow, making it look somewhat majestic.

This monster can be called a dragon fish.

Chen Qing thought to himself, then jumped up into the air and faced the dragon fish.

When the dragon fish saw Chen Qing show up, it did not hesitate. Its body shook and its demonic power surged. Several water tornadoes rose from the water beside it and turned into dense water droplets all over the sky. Under its control, it attacked Chen Qing.

Seeing this, Chen Qing's expression remained unchanged. He raised his right hand, and his magic power surged. A gray spiritual shield appeared in front of him, but it did not wrap him up. Instead, it quickly unfolded, covering Chen Qing and the flying boat behind him.

The water droplets splashed, but before they hit the spirit shield, they were dissolved by the magic power attached to it, and the demonic power contained in the water droplets also disappeared.

After blocking the water droplets with the spiritual shield, Chen Qing attacked again. He raised his left hand and a red spiritual light flashed. The remaining water droplets were melted after touching the red spiritual light.

Seeing that the magic it had cast could not do anything to Chen Qing, the dragon fish wanted to attack again, but after it felt the profound magic power contained in the red spiritual light, it moved its body, quickly disappeared from the spot, and appeared on the other side.

After the dragon fish left, the red spiritual light hit the water surface where it was originally located, and directly penetrated the water surface, forming a hole that was several meters long. The hole lasted for several breaths before being filled by the subsequent lake water.

At this time, the dragon fish still wanted to attack, but Chen Qing had already seen through its means and no longer held back. He opened the five fingers of his right hand, and dozens of red spiritual lights that were exactly the same as before were activated, surrounding the dragon fish and locking the magical aura, making it impossible for the dragon fish to struggle. It could only watch as several red spiritual lights pierced through its body. Then, its consciousness collapsed, and the demonic power that resonated within itself dissipated.

The dragon fish's huge body fell down with a loud bang, causing several layers of ripples on the water surface, and then slowly floated up.

Seeing that the dragon fish was dead, Chen Qing waved his hand to collect its body, and then went to the small island with Xu Lingxin.

The terrain of this small island is peculiar. There is a gap several meters long that connects the inside and the outside. There is also a small lake in the center of the island. The spiritual energy in the lake is abundant and visible to the naked eye. Obviously, the spiritual vein is at the bottom of the lake. Chen Qing and Xu Lingxin looked at each other and saw the satisfaction in each other's eyes. They felt that this place was suitable for them to live in.

After putting away the flying boat, Xu Lingxin went to arrange the bamboo building, while Chen Qing took out dozens of formation flags and several formation plates, preparing to set up a spirit gathering formation on the island.
