My Optimized Immortal Life

As early as when he was checking the method of detecting spirit cores given to them by Xuanming, Chen Qing discovered that the effectiveness of this method was somewhat similar to his Qi-gazing technique, but the subtlety of this method was far inferior to his Qi-gazing technique. Therefore, when he encountered this quicksand spirit soul at this time, Chen Qing used the Qi-gazing technique to observe it, and the effect was immediate.

Although he noticed the location of the spirit core of the quicksand spirit, Chen Qing did not take action. There were many capable people here, and many of them had cultivation far superior to his, so it was not his turn to take action first.

I saw the Fairy Liuyun dancing with her long sleeves, and several rays of light shot out from the ribbons on her long sleeves, like an arrow shot from a bow, and arrived in front of the Liusha Spirit in a few breaths.

As if aware of the great power of this brilliant light, the quicksand spirit immediately resisted, alternating its hands in front of its body, and the surrounding quicksand gathered together and was connected by the earth's energy.

Afterwards, the brilliant light and the quicksand came into contact, but the two did not stalemate. The brilliant light seemed to pass through the quicksand without any hindrance, but when it landed on the hands of the quicksand spirit, it only blasted two large holes on them. As the quicksand gathered, the two holes quickly recovered, and in a blink of an eye they were back to normal.

Seeing this, Fairy Liuyun also frowned.

"There's something strange about this spirit. The quicksand it brings together seems to be able to diminish the power of my magic?"

As a Yuanying Zhenjun, Fairy Liuyun has an extraordinary vision and immediately saw the reason why her magic failed to work.

At this time, Xuan Ming spoke.

"That's right. In this mysterious abyss, quicksand gathers and the earth's energy flourishes. This quicksand spirit soul is originally condensed from the earth's energy, and it can naturally mobilize this earth's energy to resist our spells and reduce their power. Therefore, although this quicksand spirit soul is only at the third level, it is not easy for even those present to defeat it."

Hou Tu also spoke.

"The earth's energy is surging, but the Quicksand Spirit is not a living being after all, and its spiritual power is limited. You can try to use other means to deceive it first, and then strike it with one strike."

Before he finished speaking, he raised his hand and cast a spell.

The surrounding quicksand was gathered together by him and condensed into two sand dragons several meters long. The dragon heads were ferocious and looked at the quicksand spirit. Then, Hou Tu waved his hand and pointed, and the two sand dragon bodies turned over, and the dragon claws rose up, hitting the spirit directly.

The dragon claws were blessed with magic power and were extremely sharp. Even third-level spiritual iron would find it difficult to resist. However, the spirit soul just raised its arms as before, and quicksand gathered. Salon's dragon claws slammed into the quicksand like tearing a layer of thin paper. However, Chen Qing keenly discovered that the magic power of the dragon claws was reduced by 40% by the quicksand.

When the dragon claws landed on the arms of the Quicksand Spirit, they only cut off the arms, but the Quicksand Spirit had already retreated a considerable distance and was out of the coverage of the dragon claws.

However, Hou Tu's dragon's attack method was obviously not limited to this. Dragon twisted his body and swept over with his huge dragon tail. The double-sided attack made it difficult for the quicksand spirit to avoid it.

It wanted to raise its arms to resist, but the dragon's tail was not only powerful but also extremely fast. The next moment, it landed on it, scattering most of its body into quicksand.

If such power were to fall upon an ordinary cultivator, it would be fatal. However, for this quicksand spirit, as long as the spirit core is not destroyed, even if the body is completely shattered, it is nothing.

Above its body, which was mostly broken apart, earth energy was flowing, and the surrounding quicksand was drawn together to restore its body.

But at this moment, Hou Tu's eyes focused, and his magic power surged rapidly. A stream of light flew out from his hand and hit the body of the quicksand spirit in an instant, penetrated through it, shattered the spirit core inside, and turned it into fragments, which were wrapped in the stream of light.

Having lost its spirit core, the quicksand spirit suddenly stagnated, and then the gathered quicksand suddenly collapsed and merged into the surroundings.

The light turned and landed in Hou Tu's hand, revealing its shape, which turned out to be a golden shuttle.

Seeing everyone's gazes, Hou Tu smiled slightly, put away the shuttle, and then showed the fragments in her hand.

"My fellow Daoists, this fragment of the spirit core is condensed from the earth's energy and is of great benefit to the cultivation of the cultivators in our palace. If you have the energy to collect it, I will naturally offer a reward equal to its value."

Chen Qing listened to Hou Tu's words, but his eyes moved on Cheng Xiao, Liu Yun, and Qing Ya. Among the three, Cheng Xiao and Liu Yun had calm expressions when listening to Hou Tu's description of the fragment, while Qing Ya showed a hint of joy.

Seeing this, Chen Qing understood, withdrew his gaze, but said nothing.

After Hou Tu demonstrated how to kill the quicksand spirit, everyone knew what was going on. Then Cheng Xiao immediately suggested that everyone disperse and defeat the scattered spirits on their own.

Upon hearing this, Hou Tu and Xuan Ming asked Chen Qing and others for their opinions. Seeing that no one objected, they agreed, but instructed them to meet outside Xuanyuan in five hours.

Afterwards, everyone dispersed and went to look for the quicksand spirit.

After everyone dispersed, Chen Qing just picked a direction and left.

Although there is vast earth energy in this Earth-Splitting Abyss that can suppress the magic power of cultivators, it does not hinder Chen Qing's spiritual sense. In addition, with the surrounding drones, Chen Qing can unscrupulously expand his spiritual sense. Therefore, the situation within a radius of more than 600 miles is fully revealed to his eyes.

As soon as his spiritual sense came into play, Chen Qing immediately found a lot of quicksand spirits. These spirits had strong earth energy and were extremely conspicuous under his spiritual sense and the art of observing qi. There were several spirits wandering around just a few miles away.

However, Chen Qing was not in a hurry to defeat the spirit soul and collect the earth essence beads. Instead, he collected the extremely thick earth energy of this place.

Earth Qi is the essence of heaven and earth, derived from the earth veins, and is also an excellent material for nourishing mountains and rivers. The Earth Yuan Pearl is the essence of earth Qi, especially so.

Although Chen Qing did not know what magical uses this Di Yuan Pearl had, he believed it must have the ability to nourish the mountains and rivers and nourish the spiritual veins. Bringing it back to the island and placing it in the lake on the island would surely make the spiritual veins there further develop.

After collecting enough earth energy, Chen Qing slowly headed towards the location of a quicksand spirit.

The flying shuttle that Houtu used to defeat the spirit just now was not a spiritual treasure, but just an ordinary magic weapon, which should have been specially refined to restrain the spirit.

With Chen Qing's attainments in refining equipment, he could see that most of the patterns on the shuttle were arrays that increased the speed of escape, but did not increase the power much. It was only the ordinary third-level power. However, with the increase in Nascent Soul magic power, there was no doubt that it could break the defense of the Quicksand Spirit.

After seeing the Quicksand Spirit with his own eyes, Chen Qing's original worries disappeared. After all, judging from the current performance of the Quicksand Spirit, it did not pose much threat to him.

After all, just now, Fairy Liuyun and Houtu attacked the Liusha spirit one after another, but the latter did not fight back. Either the spirit did not know how to fight back, or Houtu's methods were too swift and she destroyed its spirit core before it could fight back.

Although Chen Qing's cultivation is shallow, his combat power is outstanding, even better than Hou Tu. Naturally, he has no problem dealing with the quicksand spirit.
