My Optimized Immortal Life

After Chen Qing and Lao Gui returned to the island, they rarely went out in the following days.

After all, a natural treasure like the Yuhua Fruit is rarely seen in a thousand years. Although it is unknown which big monster has caught it, the opportunity to plunder other people's nests like this does not come every day. Chen Qing spends most of his time practicing, and occasionally goes out with the old turtle to kill a few big monsters as food to feed Xiao Hei.

Time passed slowly, and his cultivation became more and more advanced with the passage of time.

Ten years later.

In the lake on the island, Chen Qing opened his eyes and slowly exhaled a breath of spiritual energy.

Finally, he cultivated to the perfection of Danjie.

He looked inward and saw that the original Yin-Yang Golden Pill in his Dantian had gradually become thinner, and the magic power wrapped in it did not seem as vast as in the early stage of Danjie. But with careful perception, he could find that his Yin-Yang magic power was now much stronger than before.

But this was not enough to attract attention. Chen Qing's attention was all on the Yin-Yang Golden Pill. In it, a Golden Pill of Creation the size of a fist was floating up and down. It contained a three-color halo, which was constantly changing, and there was a flow of creation, which made Chen Qing's magic power gradually condense.

The practice of the late stage of Jindan has ended, and Chen Qing's Golden Pill of Creation has been preliminarily condensed, but it still relies on the Yin-Yang Golden Pill. It is estimated that he will have to wait until Chen Qing breaks through the Nascent Soul stage and uses the power of the heavenly tribulation to make the Golden Pill of Creation completely take shape and replace the original Yin-Yang Golden Pill. On this basis, he will break through the Nascent Soul stage again, and his foundation will undergo a thorough transformation.

Chen Qing slowly walked out of the lake on the island. Outside the lake, Xu Lingxin's figure appeared faintly in the tea garden. Xiao Hei was beside her, nourishing the tea trees with the spiritual energy and demonic energy emitted during his practice. The old turtle stayed quietly on the periphery, silently absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, refining it into demonic power, and increasing his own cultivation.

Ten years have passed. Both Old Turtle and Xu Lingxin are still at the middle stage of the third level. There is still a long way to go before they reach the late stage. The gap between them and Chen Qing is getting bigger and bigger.

Chen Qing had no complaints about this. He was able to cultivate to the late stage of Jindan at this age thanks to the three years of cultivation in Tianqiong Valley after he established his foundation.

At that time, with the help of the Earth Fire Transformation Technique and the essence of the Earth Fire, it only took him three short years to improve his cultivation from the early stage of foundation building to the late stage of foundation building. This speed was far beyond imagination and was incredible.

Even someone like Xu Lingxin, who had earth-grade spiritual roots, had to hone her skills in the foundation-building stage for more than ten years. During this period, Chen Qing even provided her with cold crystals to help her break through the bottleneck in the later stages, saving her a lot of time. Otherwise, Xu Lingxin would probably have to stay in the foundation-building stage for decades.

Only by making such a comparison can we realize how fast Chen Qing was able to cultivate from the early stage of foundation building to the late stage of foundation building in just three years.

It was precisely because of this period of practice that Chen Qing's subsequent development was so smooth, laying the most critical foundation for him to break through to the Jindan stage early.

It's time to leave this place.

Chen Qing looked at the small island where he had stayed for decades.

There is no reluctance in my heart.

Having stayed here for nearly a hundred years, he had explored all the surrounding conditions thoroughly and found that there was no danger that could threaten them. Therefore, Chen Qing planned to keep this place as a retreat when he returned to Song State or to avoid disaster in the future.

Moreover, he did not intend to let Xu Lingxin enter the Central Region with him. He would at least wait until he had established a firm foothold in the Central Region before letting her come.

The same goes for Old Turtle and Little Black. Although they are his spirit beasts, it is naturally better for them to travel alone than to bring several monsters with them.

So Chen Qing walked into the tea garden.

When Xu Lingxin saw him coming, she immediately walked over, took his right hand familiarly, and then whispered.

"Husband, what's wrong?"

Seeing this, Chen Qing gently put his arms around her soft waist and then spoke.

"I'm going to leave here and see if that place is the Central Region."

Looking at Chen Qing's expression, Xu Lingxin smiled and said softly.

"My dear husband, if you want to go alone, then go ahead. Ling Xin is a Jindan cultivator now, after all. Moreover, she has the old turtle to help her. She should have no problem staying on the island."

Hearing this, Chen Qing smiled bitterly.

"Lingxin is still so smart. She understood my intention before I even said a word."

As he spoke, he took a deep breath, stayed with Xu Lingxin for several hours, looked at the tea garden and the island again, and then got up and left.

The old turtle naturally noticed Chen Qing's departure, but Chen Qing had already informed it of his departure through voice transmission, so it did not take any action at this time.

After leaving the island, Chen Qing headed north. After his cultivation reached the late stage of Jindan, his escape speed was further improved. Now it was almost the same as that of the old turtle. It only took him nearly half a month to cross a distance of 80,000 miles and reach the edge of the Great Wilderness Swamp.

Passing through the familiar barrier, Chen Qing looked around and saw that above the blue waves, the mountains and forests were endless, like a winding dragon crawling on the ground, extremely huge, extending to the end of the sight.

He released his spiritual sense, and unlike in the Great Wilderness where he was restricted by the gray fog, here his spiritual sense was no longer restricted and could be fully unleashed.

The shackles of many years were suddenly lifted off, Chen Qing's mind became clear, and his spiritual awareness had improved a bit, covering the area around him within a hundred miles.

A hundred miles of territory, this is the range covered by my spiritual consciousness now.

Chen Qing took in all the situations within a hundred miles, whether it was mountains, forests, waters, monsters, etc., every detail was clearly visible in his spiritual consciousness.

However, after his spiritual consciousness spread over a hundred miles, he finally found some people.

It was a mortal village, not very big, with only a few hundred or so mortals living in it. What surprised Chen Qing was that outside the village, there was a first-level formation covering the village.

This mortal village is actually also protected by monks, which is completely different from the Song Kingdom.

With a sigh in his heart, Chen Qing moved and headed towards the village.

A moment later, Chen Qing fell from the sky above the village. This scene naturally attracted the attention of the villagers. Many villagers came to watch, but they all called Chen Qing a Taoist priest, not an immortal from the Song Kingdom.

Chen Qing was doubtful, but then an old village chief took him into the village to sit for a while. Chen Qing followed the village chief into his home. When an old woman saw the village chief bringing Chen Qing into the house, she immediately went to make tea and put it on the table.

When Chen Qing saw the tea, he was a little surprised. This tea was not ordinary tea, but spiritual tea.

Seeing Chen Qing's surprise, the old village chief poured him a cup and then spoke.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Taoist priest. I only have the low-grade spiritual tea that my son sent me at home. I hope you won't despise it."

son?

Chen Qing raised his cup and drank. The grade of this spiritual tea was very low, less than the first grade, and its taste was not as good as those cultivated by Xu Lingxin. It was just ordinary stuff, but for a mortal like the old village chief, a cup of spiritual tea could cure all diseases and eliminate all hidden illnesses.

From this, we can see that the old village chief's son is a filial person.

So Chen Qing asked the old village chief about the situation nearby.

After the old village chief's narration, he finally understood the situation here. This place was indeed the Central Region, but it was located in a remote area of ​​the Central Region, not in the center.
