My Optimized Immortal Life

"I am a casual cultivator who came from the other side of the Great Desolate Marsh. I have just arrived here. I heard that the Luoying Sect is the only sect here, so I wanted to join the sect and practice peacefully..."

Chen Qing spoke slowly and told his story one by one.

The cultivators in the Central Region of Song State might not have even heard of that place, so Chen Qing directly said that he came from the other side of the Great Wilderness. Anyway, it was impossible for the Luoying Sect to go to the Great Wilderness to verify Chen Qing's origins for this reason. What's more, for a cultivator in the late Jindan stage, the conditions of the Luoying Sect were not good. If there was no reason, a cultivator of this level would not even consider joining.

After hearing Chen Qing's words, both the Luoying Sect's leader and the other elders fell into deep thought, considering the truthfulness of Chen Qing's words.

After a moment, it was the leader of the Luoying Sect who spoke first.

"Fellow Daoist, you truly possess extraordinary perseverance, having actually managed to walk out of that swamp. My Luoying Sect has been stationed here for nearly four hundred years, and we have sent many cultivators into it, but we never dared to go too deep. Since you were able to walk out of that dangerous place, you must be quite familiar with it."

After he finished speaking, an elder beside the Luoying Sect's leader also spoke at the right time.

"I heard that although there are many third-level monsters in that dangerous place, all kinds of natural treasures can be found everywhere. Fellow Daoist, could you tell me the location of some of these natural treasures? I will reward you handsomely."

The person who said this was another male cultivator besides the old man. Chen Qing could smell the strong scent of herbs from him from a long distance away. Using the Qi-Observing Technique, he discovered that this male cultivator was actually practicing fire-based exercises just like him. He must be most likely an alchemist.

In addition to this male cultivator, there were other people who wanted to speak, but the leader of the Luoying Sect took the lead.

"Since all the elders are so concerned about Fellow Daoist Chen Qing, I believe they should have no objection to his joining. Then Fellow Daoist Chen Qing will be the tenth elder of our Luoying Sect."

The leader of the Luoying Sect decided on Chen Qing's identity, then dismissed everyone and took Chen Qing with her to one of the three mountains. At the same time, along the way, she also introduced the situation of the Luoying Sect to Chen Qing.

"My name is Han Qiushui. If you don't mind, you can just call me Han Daoyou."

Han Qiu Shui briefly introduced himself, and then looked at the three towering mountains.

"Among these three peaks, the one on the left is called Tian Ning Peak. There is a spiritual spring on it. It is of the third grade and is rich in spiritual energy. It is essential for the cultivation of our sect's cultivators. It is guarded by three elders of our sect."

"The one on the right is Qixia Peak. It's a tall and majestic mountain with abundant spiritual energy. It's where our disciples come to listen to the teachings and practice cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing looked towards the two mountains. On Tianning Peak, if Han Qiu Shui had not reminded him, he would not have known that there was a spiritual spring on it. As for Qixia Peak, there were indeed many halls and pavilions on it, and many disciples who were practicing Qi Refining and Foundation Building could be seen walking through them.

"As for the peak where Fellow Daoist Chen was earlier, it's called Luoying Peak, and it's also the main peak of our Luoying Sect. There's a mid-level spiritual vein there, which is the foundation of our Luoying Sect."

As she spoke, Han Qiu Shui brought Chen Qing to a courtyard near the top of Qixia Peak. This was the residence she had arranged for Chen Qing.

"Elder Chen has just arrived and probably doesn't know much about the Central Region. There is a library in Qixia Peak that contains a lot of detailed information about the Central Region's cultivation world. Elder Chen could go and take a look and learn more."

"Thank you very much, Sect Master."

Seeing Han Qiu Shui turning around and about to leave, Chen Qing did not try to keep him. After bowing, he watched Han Qiu Shui turn into a beam of light and leave.

After Han Qiu Shui left, Chen Qing stayed in the courtyard. The spiritual energy here was naturally not as good as that of the island, but now Chen Qing's cultivation had reached the perfection of the Jindan stage, so it was not a big deal.

Chen Qing naturally knew all about Han Qiu Shui's arrangements. He had just arrived and his identity was unknown. It would not be a good idea to arrange him at Luoying Peak or Tianning Peak where there was a spiritual spring. Qixia Peak was just the right place because there were many people and eyes around, making it easier to observe.

In the next few days, Chen Qing did not do anything. Instead, he went to the library on Qixia Peak as Han Qiu Shui said, read classics, and gained a preliminary understanding of the Central Region.

First of all, there are many sects in the Central Region, and there are hundreds of sects with Yuanying Zhenjun, but most of them are concentrated in the center of the Central Region. In the peripheral areas, there are Jindan sects like Luoying Sect.

The highest level in the entire Central Region is composed of four sects that have Divine Transformation cultivators in charge.

Xuanjian Sect, Linxian Pavilion, Tianmo Sect, and Yinyang Sect.

These four sects are the top sects in the entire Central Region. They are all led by the Divine Transformation cultivators who are at the top of the human world, and they jointly control all the resources of the entire Central Region.

For example, the Luoying Sect is under the jurisdiction of the Linxian Pavilion. Every ten years, it has to hand over a huge amount of spiritual materials in order to obtain the protection of the Linxian Pavilion.

Otherwise, those Nascent Soul Sects alone would be able to divide up the Luoying Sect completely.

After learning about the situation of Luoying Sect, Chen Qing was not worried based on the information he had currently.

The situation in the entire Central Region is completely different from that in the Song Kingdom. The four great sects of the Divine Transformation Sect are at the highest point, commanding all the forces under them, including even the Demon Sect. Therefore, the entire Central Region is much more stable than the Song Kingdom. At least there will be no more so-called demonic invasions.

Although the Luoying Sect is located at the edge of the Central Region, it is the most suitable place for Chen Qing.

After all, it is just a Jindan sect, and it will not attract too much attention, which is more conducive to Chen Qing's quiet development.

After understanding the general situation in the Central Region, Chen Qing turned his attention to the Luoying Sect.

As mentioned before, the Luoying Sect has a total of nine elders and one sect leader. As for the Supreme Sect Leader, according to the sect's scriptures, he seems to have passed away hundreds of years ago.

Therefore, now in the entire Luoying Sect, including Chen Qing, there are only eleven Jindan cultivators.

Among these eleven Jindan cultivators, only Chen Qing and Sect Master Han Qiu Shui are in the late Jindan stage, while the other elders are in the middle Jindan stage. However, the sect foundation of Luoying Sect is not weak.

According to the sect's records, although the Luoying Sect was established only nearly a thousand years ago, the sect's founding master was a top-level Jindan cultivator who came out of the Linxian Pavilion. He left behind three complete fourth-level exercises and countless low-level exercises to the Luoying Sect.

This is good for Chen Qing. After all, although his Yin Yang Hua Ji Gong has referred to many top-level martial arts, he even has the fifth-level martial arts provided by Xu Lingxin, the Liang Yi Si Xiang Gong.

However, the Yin-Yang Transformation Technique has only been deduced to the fourth level, and the fifth level belonging to the Divine Transformation has not yet begun. If he can comprehend all three fourth-level techniques of the Luoying Sect and integrate them into the Yin-Yang Transformation Technique, it will surely make his practice in the Nascent Soul stage smoother.
