My Optimized Immortal Life

The news that Chen Qing accepted Di Jian and Zhang Qiubai as his disciples spread throughout the Luoying Sect in less than half a day, and all the disciples in the sect sighed.

Why didn't such a good thing happen to them?

Some of them knew that Chen Qing was a top cultivator in the late Jindan stage, just a little away from the Yuanying stage, and had a cultivation level similar to that of the sect master. To be accepted as a disciple by such an elder, one wondered how much blessing Di and Zhang had cultivated in their previous lives.

The most crucial thing is that among these two, Di Jian, who has the best qualifications, has only a top-grade gold spiritual root, and at most a transparent sword body, while Zhang Qiubai only has a mid-grade fire spiritual root. The qualifications of these two can only be considered average among the inner disciples participating in the competition.

As for the top ten in the competition, they all started out as geniuses with three top-grade spiritual roots, and there were even top-level geniuses with five spiritual roots all being of top grade.

I don't know why Elder Chen didn't choose these disciples to be his disciples, but instead accepted Di and Zhang.

For this reason, when Di Jian and Zhang Qiubai returned to the disciples' residence, many cultivators surrounded them and asked them why they were able to become Chen Qing's disciples.

The two didn't know how to explain this, so they just shook their heads, packed up their things, and turned to leave the residence.

During this period, there was no blind guy who came to trouble the two of them for some funny reasons.

The two returned to Chen Qing's courtyard and then found two adjacent rooms to stay in.

Feeling the abundant spiritual energy in Chen Qing's courtyard, Di Jian took a deep breath, his heart filled with excitement.

He joined the sect when he was young and has been practicing for ten years. Even though he has a top-grade golden spiritual root, his cultivation level is only the eighth level of Qi Refining. The reason is that all the resources in the sect can only be exchanged for contributions by completing tasks.

Like Zhang Qiubai, he came from the same small town. Both of them had no background and no opportunities, so they could only rely on their own efforts to practice. For him, it was not easy to achieve such a level of cultivation in ten years.

As for Zhang Qiubai, that guy has limited talent. After ten years of practice, he is only at the sixth level of Qi Refining, which is a huge gap from him.

However... now that we are all under the master's tutelage, we have to be more careful.

Putting all these thoughts aside, Di Jian quietly closed his eyes and began to practice.

On the other hand, Zhang Qiubai, a stubborn guy, didn't want to think as much as Di Jian. He entered into meditation and practice early, immersed in the process of absorbing the abundant spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth.

The next day, early in the morning.

The purple sun was rising, and light clouds and mists were lingering in the mountains. Chen Qing came out of retreat early and deduced the Dan-forming technique suitable for Di and Zhang. It took him almost an hour. As for the rest of the time, he was reviewing his own path of cultivation, trying to gather all his insights together and perfect his own path to Nascent Soul.

When he walked out of the Great Wilderness, his cultivation had already reached the perfect stage of Jindan, and he was only one step away from Yuanying. He could even try to trigger the heavenly tribulation. However, although he was very confident that he could survive the heavenly tribulation, he was not so sure about the inner demon tribulation.

The only lucky thing is that he is not involved in many causes and consequences, and most of them have been resolved.

This means that when he is going through the tribulation of the inner demon, the inner demon can set fewer traps for him, which can increase his chances of success.

Now looking back on his own path of cultivation, Chen Qing was trying to calm himself down. The Yin-Yang Transformation Technique he deduced naturally contained methods to deal with the inner demon tribulation, but it could only increase his chances by 40% at most. In his opinion, with only a 60% success rate, it was not a good time to overcome the tribulation.

Di Jian and Zhang Qiubai also came out of retreat at this time. Seeing this, Chen Qing handed over the martial arts he had deduced to them.

"This is a technique that Master has tailored for you. Do not share it with anyone until you have mastered it."

When the two of them got the skills, they used their spiritual sense to take a look at them and were immediately astonished by what they saw.

The two of them were merely Qi-refining cultivators, and their understanding of the techniques was extremely shallow. They could not tell whether the technique Chen Qing gave them was strong or weak. However, the fact that they had been able to cultivate it to the Core Formation stage made them realize that this technique was not simple.

"Thank you, Master."

The two men bowed and spoke with excitement.

Chen Qing's expression was calm and he just nodded.

"Don't rush to improve your cultivation. First, transfer your skills and rebuild your foundation. This will make it easier to break through to the foundation building stage in the future."

Upon hearing this, Di Jian and Zhang Qiubai looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

"As ordered!"

Di Jian took a deep breath and immediately realized that Chen Qing was the greatest opportunity in his practice so far. Therefore, at this moment, he only had respect for Chen Qing.

Looking at the two of them, Chen Qing added.

"These two techniques are both third-level techniques. The content of the Qi Refining Chapter may be a bit too profound for you two. If you have any questions, you can come to me at noon every day to seek answers."

After saying that, Chen Qing leaped up and turned into a streak of light, leaving the courtyard.

Upon seeing this, Di Jian and Zhang Qiubai did not hesitate any longer and immediately returned to their rooms, ready to start practicing the skills they had acquired.

The martial arts technique that Di Jian obtained was called "Ethereal Sword Technique". Just by hearing the name, he felt that this martial arts technique was extraordinary. After reading the contents of the Qi Refining chapter with his spiritual consciousness, he suddenly felt as if he had understood something.

Different from the "Sword Controlling Art" he practiced, this "Ethereal Sword Art" was not about practicing traditional magic power during the Qi Refining Period, but sword energy magic power.

According to the technique, after this sword energy and magic power is cultivated, it can baptize one's own meridians and dantian, causing the meridians and dantian to transform and become more suitable, able to carry more sword energy and magic power.

The content of this Qi Refining chapter alone is enough to transform an ordinary Qi Refining cultivator into a genius in practicing sword techniques.

Di Jian suppressed his inner excitement. Although he had a Transparent Sword Body, there were still differences between special physiques. The Transparent Sword Body was only the lowest level of Dharma Body, which could only improve his understanding of the sword way, but was of no help to his qualifications.

Unlike the higher-level spiritual sword body, this kind of spiritual body, in addition to improving the cultivator's understanding of the sword, its own physique is also extremely suitable for sword practice. It has three top-grade spiritual roots at the beginning. Compared with his transparent sword body with only one top-grade spiritual root, it is much stronger.

But now with this "Ethereal Sword Technique", Di Jian can transform his physique, which is extremely crucial for his future practice.

However, this technique is indeed obscure. Even with my understanding blessed by the Transparent Sword Body, there are still many things I don't understand after reading it once. It seems that I will have to ask my master for more advice in the future. Such an opportunity cannot be missed.

Thinking of this, Di Jian immediately devoted all his mind to "The Art of the Void Sword", comprehended the parts he had already understood, and began to practice it.

The same is true for Zhang Qiubai. Di Jian and most of his disciples say that he is stubborn, but that doesn't mean he is stupid.

On the contrary, he also understood how precious the skills Chen Qing gave him were.

This is a third-level martial arts technique. Even among the inner disciples, only the best among them are qualified to practice it after passing the test of the sect elders. Although he is an inner disciple, he is only at the bottom among them. Now that he can obtain this kind of martial arts technique, he naturally has to start practicing it immediately.
