My Optimized Immortal Life

Next, Houtu arranged for the elders in the sect to distribute resources to Qingya and others, and even gave Chengxiao some. After all, the latter was already a mid-stage cultivator at this time. Although the resources were not much, everyone present knew Chengxiao's temperament, so Houtu naturally did not dare to neglect them.

After obtaining the resources, Cheng Xiao was extremely happy. He thanked Xuanming and Houtu and left the Palace of the King of Earth.

After that, it was Fairy Liuyun.

Speaking of which, Fairy Liuyun must have gained a lot of benefits by following Cheng Xiao deep into the abyss this time. However, there are three Nascent Souls in Piaomiao Pavilion. If Fairy Liuyun is included, there will be four in total, and one of them is a powerful being who is only one step away from the late stage.

Therefore, Hou Tu could only swallow this loss.

With the resources in hand, Chen Qing and Qingya did not stay any longer. They said goodbye to Hou Tu and Xuan Ming and then left the Palace of the King of Earth.

Outside the Earth King Palace, the rising earth energy had stopped, and the flying sand in the sky had weakened a lot, no longer covering the sky like before.

As soon as Chen Qing left the Earth King Palace, he headed towards the Luoying Sect. With his speed of escape, he would be able to return to the Luoying Sect in just over half a month.

The spiritual energy in the surrounding heaven and earth gradually became denser after moving away from the Earth-Splitting Abyss, but it was still not as concentrated as the spiritual energy in the Earth King Palace.

Chen Qing was flying high in the sky. Below him was a field of quicksand that extended to the horizon. There were piles of sand dunes. At a glance, he could only see a few living creatures.

Although the spiritual energy in this sandy area is rich, the surface is too empty, and weak creatures find it difficult to protect themselves. Most of them hide in caves dug underground.

It was difficult to see with the naked eye, so Chen Qing used his spiritual sense to scan. Under this quicksand, hundreds of weak little demons, whose highest level was only the third or fourth level of Qi Refining, were moving underground.

This place is hundreds of miles away from the Earth-Splitting Abyss, but there is still a lot of earth energy remaining in the surrounding sky and earth. In this environment, most of the monsters here have adapted to the existence of earth energy in order to survive here.

Although these monsters have low cultivation levels, their strength is quite impressive. Most of them seem to have the aura of only the first or second level of Qi Refining, but when they truly explode, they are probably not weaker than monsters at the third or fourth level of Qi Refining.

Chen Qing observed while passing through the sky.

Suddenly, a magical aura suddenly appeared in front of him, causing Chen Qing's face to change and he stopped immediately.

"Fellow Daoist Luoying, I believe you have returned with a fruitful harvest by helping Houtu and Xuanming clear up the disaster. If so, I believe you should have prepared my share as well."

A familiar voice came, and Cheng Xiao's figure appeared from the void in front. He looked at Chen Qing with a smile on his face, appearing extremely kind.

But this was just an appearance. Chen Qing could clearly sense that Cheng Xiao's magical aura had blocked the surroundings. As long as he made any unusual movement, Cheng Xiao would be able to take action immediately.

Looking at Cheng Xiao who had a kind face in front of him, Chen Qing couldn't help but sigh.

He first bowed to Cheng Xiao, and then slowly spoke.

"Senior Cheng Xiao, my strength is low. There are so many quicksand spirits in the Earth Abyss that I cannot match them. Although the Earth Yuan Pearl is precious, my harvest is indeed not much. Could you please reduce the 70% a little?"

After he finished speaking, Cheng Xiao's originally kind expression suddenly turned gloomy. The magical energy around him pressed down, causing Chen Qing's expression to change.

"I actually think that 70% isn't much. After all, the method to collect the Earth Element Pearls was given to you by me. Without that method, you can't even think of getting 10% of it, let alone 30%."

As Cheng Xiao said this, his magical energy became more and more surging. The quicksand that was originally stirring around them stopped when it passed by them and could not move forward any further.

Seeing Cheng Xiao so tough, Chen Qing smiled bitterly and had to take out a storage bag from his sleeve and handed it to Cheng Xiao, while speaking.

"I shall certainly satisfy your request, but I would like to ask you, what is the magical use of this Earth Origin Pearl that is worth your great trouble?"

Cheng Xiao took over Chen Qing's storage bag, scanned it with his spiritual sense, and saw more than thirty Earth Yuan beads in the storage bag.

Such a quantity is not bad.

After getting the Diyuan Pearl, Cheng Xiao thought about it and explained to Chen Qing.

"This Earth Origin Pearl is the essence of earth energy and is the best at nourishing spiritual veins. Three of them can elevate a small, primary spiritual vein to a medium-sized one. It is the best treasure for improving the sect's foundation. In addition, this Earth Origin Pearl can also be used for refining artifacts. The magical artifacts refined with it contain earth energy and are extremely powerful. However, spiritual treasures that have been infused with Earth Origin Pearls will find it difficult to incorporate other spiritual materials and will be repelled by the earth energy."

After briefly introducing the magical uses of the Earth Yuan Pearl, Cheng Xiao did not delay any longer. He took back the magic power that was spread all around him. Then, he saw it turn into a beam of light and quickly disappeared, leaving only a voice message.

"Fellow Daoist Luoying, Hou Tu and Xuan Ming have made profound plans for this trip to the Earth Abyss. I'm sure you've noticed something of this, so there's no need for me to point it out."

After Cheng Xiao left, the magic power that blocked the surroundings no longer existed, and the quicksand began to surge, roaring between heaven and earth.

Chen Qing felt his whole body lighten, and the slight feeling of depression just now disappeared immediately.

The magical aura of Cheng Xiao, who was in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, was indeed oppressive to him, but not as exaggerated as he expected. It was much worse than Xuan Ming's.

However, the former has just broken through, which is understandable.

In the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, the amount of mana is much greater than that in the early stage. A Nascent Soul cultivator at this stage can cause some early stage cultivators with weak cultivation to suffer just by relying on their mana. The later the cultivation, the greater the gap.

Many thoughts flashed through Chen Qing's mind. He had expected to hand over more than 30 Earth Yuan Pearls as early as when he saw Cheng Xiao break through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. This number was also the number he took out after some consideration, and it was enough to dispel Cheng Xiao's vigilance.

No matter how good Cheng Xiao was at calculating, he would never have thought that the number of Di Yuan beads collected by Chen Qing would be close to one hundred.

More than thirty pieces are only one third of them.

After Cheng Xiao left, Chen Qing continued to move forward. He did not encounter any setbacks on the rest of the journey and returned to Luoying Sect smoothly.

After returning to Luoying Sect, he first went to the small courtyard on Qixia Peak to rest for a while, and then found Han Qiu Shui and asked about the location of the sect's spiritual vein.

Han Qiu Shui naturally told him directly. Although he was puzzled, he thought that Chen Qing would not be detrimental to the foundation of the sect.

Afterwards, Han Qiu Shui took Chen Qing down the secret passage from the main hall of Luoying Peak and entered the mountain.

Because there was a formation blocking the Luoying Peak, and Chen Qing did not use his spiritual sense to forcibly detect it, it was the first time that Chen Qing knew that the Lord Highness actually had a secret passage leading directly to the spiritual vein.

The two continued to go deeper, and when they reached the bottom, they saw a spiritual vein that looked like a jade vein, but radiated spiritual light all over.

This spiritual vein is extremely large, much larger than the spiritual vein on the small island in the Great Wasteland Lake. It is indeed a mid-level spiritual vein.

However, in this spiritual vein, there is a small pool that was artificially opened up. In the pool, countless extremely condensed spiritual liquids are deposited, totaling more than ten cubic meters.

"A mid-level spiritual vein can produce spiritual fluid, but it takes a hundred years to condense a single volume. This pool was built when our sect was founded. Now, after nearly a thousand years, with the blessing of the formation, we have such a large amount of spiritual fluid."

Han Qiu Shui explained to Chen Qing.

Chen Qing nodded, but didn't care.

Although the spiritual liquid is good, it is not very effective for him who has already been promoted to the Nascent Soul stage. Xu Lingxin has also reached the perfection of the Core Formation stage early on, so this thing is useless to her.

Only cultivators like Han Qiu Shui, who are still in the late stage of Jindan and refining their magic power, need this spiritual liquid to assist in their practice.
