My Optimized Immortal Life

Great wilderness.

small island.

Island in the lake.

Chen Qing sat cross-legged on a cushion, with two-colored magic power flowing around him. Invisible energy emanated from his body, making the few spiritual herbs under his feet glow with extra vitality, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within the formation became more active.

Yes, the cultivation level of the middle stage of Jindan has been stabilized.

Chen Qing looked inward at himself, watching the two-colored golden elixir in his dantian gradually stabilize and become more and more harmonious, and nodded involuntarily. With the help of the magic power of creation, his practice was much simpler than before. Without having to maintain the balance of Yin Fire and Yang Fire, his practice speed became even faster.

This allowed him to break through to the middle stage of the Core Formation much faster than expected.

His current cultivation speed even surpasses Xu Lingxin, who is still in the early stage of Jindan, and is quite far from the middle stage of Jindan. However, if he practices for another ten years, he is expected to break through to the middle stage of Jindan.

Thinking of this, Chen Qing walked out of the lake on the island, spreading his spiritual sense, taking in all the situations within a radius of more than thirty miles in his mind.

He found the old turtle and sent a message to it through his spiritual consciousness, asking it to return to the island.

The purpose of calling the old turtle back is simple, he wants to leave the island.

Xu Lingxin has made great progress in her cultivation in the early stage of Jindan, but she still does not have a magic weapon of her own. Chen Qing also wants to make one for her, but due to the lack of the third-level main material, he can only delay it.

The Great Wilderness Marsh is extremely vast, and contains countless natural treasures. Third-level spiritual materials are naturally not uncommon, but most of them are guarded by monsters. Chen Qing and the old turtle have been exploring the Great Wilderness Marsh for nearly a year, and the exploration range is nearly one million miles.

Within such a wide range, there are naturally third-level ice spiritual materials that suit Xu Lingxin's needs.

However, the monster guarding the spiritual material was not easy to deal with. It was a powerful monster that had reached the late third level of cultivation and had an extremely strong aura, which was even more powerful than the green-scaled python.

Chen Qing estimated that the monster should have the qualifications to reach the fourth level. If he had fought it in the early stage of Jindan, even if he could win, he would have to pay a heavy price. But now he has reached the middle stage of Jindan and is 90% sure of killing the monster.

He slowly walked to the edge of the island, looked at the hazy gray fog in the distance, and waited for the old turtle to arrive.

After a stick of incense, ripples suddenly appeared on the edge of the hazy gray fog, and a turtle monster more than ten feet in size emerged from it. It had two horns on its head, and white scales on its limbs and head. It was the old turtle.

Compared to before, the old turtle that has refined the python's blood has a stronger aura, but it still remains at the early stage of the third level.

But its body has undergone a transformation. The patterns on its back seem to have incorporated some of the mysterious patterns it had previously obtained from the python. It exudes a mysterious aura, making the old turtle look even more mysterious.

However, this monster, which is worthy of being called a big monster in the outside world, suddenly increased its speed a lot after seeing Chen Qing, and seemed a little impatient.

The old turtle swam to the edge of the island and looked at Chen Qing. Seeing that his aura was becoming more and more unfathomable, he couldn't help but lower his head and speak in a low voice.

"Owner."

Chen Qing hummed, stood up, walked to the turtle's back, sat down cross-legged, and then spoke.

"Let's go and find that toad monster and get its piece of ice-profound gold back."

After he finished speaking, the old turtle nodded and immediately swam out of the island, heading straight for the territory of the toad monster that Chen Qing mentioned.

The old turtle had explored the Great Wilderness Marsh with Chen Qing for a long time, so he naturally knew who the toad monster he was talking about was. It was a top-level monster in the late third stage, named Cold Toad. It was an extremely rare toad monster, and its ice-attribute monster power was terrifying. The old turtle had seen the Cold Toad freeze a late third stage fish monster with its monster power, directly killing its life. In its opinion, the Cold Toad was only one heavenly tribulation away from the fourth stage, and its strength was extremely terrifying.

However, compared to Chen Qing who is now sitting on its back, that is nothing.

The old turtle still remembered that in the Song Dynasty jade slips it had seen, there were records of cultivators from the four sects in Song Dynasty fighting against each other across levels, and there were even some exaggerated cases of cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage defeating those at the Core Formation stage.

But none of them are as outrageous as Chen Qing.

He was able to defeat a top-level demon in the late Jindan stage with a demon in the early Jindan stage, and even reached the half-step fourth stage after burning his essence and blood.

It had never heard of such a record.

The later you progress in your practice, the bigger the gap becomes.

A cultivator in the late Jindan stage is equivalent to a demon beast in the late third stage. A demon beast that has reached this level of cultivation must have undergone several transformations in its body. It is normal for it to use its physical body to resist a third-stage magic weapon. Not to mention that the python is a special demon beast whose bloodline has returned to its ancestral home. The strength of its body is far beyond that of demon beasts of the same stage. Even so, under Chen Qing's spell, its flesh and blood are still flowing, and its scales are like nothing.

Chen Qing even managed to activate a fire wind tornado that was dozens of feet high, and its coverage and power were even more outrageous.

Anyway, in the old turtle's opinion, let alone the cold toad, even if Chen Qing wanted to challenge the fourth-level demon king alone, it would find it acceptable.

Chen Qing naturally didn't know what the old turtle was thinking. If he knew how the old turtle thought of him, he would definitely teach it a lesson.

Chen Qing has been practicing Buddhism till now, and has been following the way of hiding. He has never taken too many actions, and has never displayed his strength in front of others. How could it be like what the old turtle said?

A man and a turtle were wandering above the boundless waters. Gray fog filled the sky and there was no sunlight. The surroundings seemed extremely cold and silent.

This is the normal state of the Great Wilderness. It is too vast. A million miles is not all of it. There are countless monsters hiding in it. Otherwise, how could it make the cultivators of the Song State shudder at the mention of it?

Chen Qing and Xu Lingxin lived in seclusion in the Great Wilderness, and they also chose a small island with pretty good scenery to settle down. With the nourishment of spiritual veins, the area was full of vitality. Naturally, it would not be like here, where it was all white without a ripple as far as the eye could see.

Chen Qing sat cross-legged on the turtle's back with a calm expression.

What does it matter to him what the external world is like?

The higher the level of cultivation, the less things are needed. When Chen Qing was building his foundation, he had already practiced fasting, and his appetite had faded a lot. He grilled the corpses of monsters just to reminisce about the past with the stimulating fishy and spicy taste. If he used magic power, he probably wouldn't even be able to taste the fishy and spicy taste.

At this point, only matters concerning the Dao can cause Chen Qing's mood to fluctuate.

Chen Qing was very clear about this. This was a sense of indifference brought about by his increasing detachment.

As a result, his five senses become dull and his emotions become calm. If he does not control them and find some other things to maintain his emotions, he will sooner or later become extremely indifferent and indifferent to the world.

Although this had no effect on his practice, Chen Qing had a vague feeling that if he wanted to go further, it would be better for him to maintain more human emotions.

Therefore, he would bring Xu Lingxin with him wherever he went. The latter was his Taoist partner and the person closest to him in this world. If even Xu Lingxin was not there, and only the cold stone python and the old turtle were by his side, Chen Qing would inevitably lose something.
