My Optimized Immortal Life

The purpose of Chen Qing coming to the spiritual vein was to lay down the Earth Yuan Pearl to nourish the spiritual vein, increase the concentration of spiritual energy, and provide for his own practice. This would also bring many benefits to the Luoying Sect.

Although Han Qiu Shui was not clear about Chen Qing's gains, he was also clear that Chen Qing would not do anything bad to Luoying Sect. Therefore, he just stood aside and watched what Chen Qing did.

Chen Qing first observed the situation of the spiritual vein to see whether its connection with the surrounding earth veins was stable. After all, integrating it into the Earth Yuan Pearl was not an easy task. It was necessary to consider the surrounding earth vein conditions and the upper limit of the spiritual vein, and it could not be easily integrated.

After using his magic power and spiritual sense to explore and figure out the situation around the spiritual vein, Chen Qing nodded and began to make arrangements.

Han Qiu Shui only saw him first wave out a dozen formation flags, surrounding the spirit pool with it as the center, and then activate the formation flags with magic power, and outline the formation pattern with his spiritual consciousness, so that the formation flags are connected to each other and connected to the central spirit vein.

Countless array patterns spread from the array flag to the void and then extended from the void to the spirit vein. After the array patterns densely covered the entire spirit vein and the entire array gradually stabilized, Chen Qing nodded slowly and then took out five earth element beads from the storage bag.

According to his observation, this spiritual vein can only accommodate five Earth Yuan Pearls at most at present. It can only continue to absorb after it has digested all five Earth Yuan Pearls.

Chen Qing flicked his five fingers lightly, and five Earth Yuan beads were sent into the five directions of the formation one after another by his magic power, and entered the five formation eyes that were specially left.

Afterwards, the formation twisted, and wisps of earth energy were extracted from the Earth Yuan Pearl, slowly floating up, and were pulled by the formation, gradually merging into the central spiritual vein.

At first glance, it looks like five yellow dragons swimming towards the spirit pool together.

After setting up this formation, Chen Qing breathed a sigh of relief. With his level of formation skills, setting up such a formation was naturally not difficult. He just needed to pay attention to the compatibility of the Earth Yuan Pearl and the Spiritual Vein.

Now seeing the earth energy in the Earth Yuan Pearl flowing into the spiritual vein without any hindrance, it means that there is no problem with this formation.

Han Qiu Shui watched from the side. Although she didn't understand the formation and didn't know what treasures the five beads Chen Qing took out were, she could feel with her spiritual sense that the faint yellow gas extracted from the beads merged into the spiritual vein, which increased the vitality of the spiritual vein. Obviously, these beads were used by Chen Qing to improve and nourish the spiritual vein.

This is a move to enhance the foundation and is of great significance, especially for the Luoying Sect. It will be more conducive to the development of the sect and will help it to truly be promoted to a fourth-level force as soon as possible.

After the formation was set up, Chen Qing's goal was achieved, and he gave instructions to Han Qiu Shui.

"This formation must be carefully guarded. When the Earth Yuan Pearls are exhausted, come find me. I will then observe the spiritual veins and consider whether to continue nourishing them."

Hearing this, Han Qiu Shui nodded and took Chen Qing's instructions to heart.

Afterwards, Chen Qing left and returned to Qixia Peak.

As soon as he arrived outside the courtyard, he saw Di Jian standing in front of the door, about to knock.

Seeing this, he spoke immediately.

"My dear disciple, why did you suddenly come to my house today? Are you confused about your cultivation?"

Upon hearing this, Di Jian's face showed joy.

"Master!"

He first saluted Chen Qing and then nodded.

Seeing this, Chen Qing took Di Jian into the courtyard. Xu Lingxin saw the two of them entering the courtyard together, and knew that Chen Qing was going to preach to Di Jian, so she turned around and walked into the room, took out the spiritual tea, and placed it on the stone table in the courtyard.

Chen Qing took his seat first, and then Xu Lingxin sat next to him. Di Jian first bowed to Xu Lingxin and called her "Master's Wife", and then asked Chen Qing about the confusions he had in his practice.

"Master, I am now only one step away from the late stage of foundation building, but I have been practicing for a while now and always feel that I am lacking something. When I practice the skills, I feel like there is something missing. Master, do you know the reason?"

Hearing this, Chen Qing spoke first.

"Practice some of your skills, and let me observe you first."

After he finished speaking, Di Jian immediately sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and let his magic power flow throughout his body. Lines of sword intent burst out from his body, flowing and extremely sharp.

After examining Di Jian's entire body, and waiting for him to complete a full cycle of martial arts and open his eyes, Chen Qing slowly began to explain.

"Your magical power has indeed reached perfection, and you are only a step away from the late stage of foundation building. However, the practice of the ethereal sword technique focuses on sword intent, not magic power. How can you control it if you only have sword energy but weak intention?"

Di Jian was shocked when he heard this. Chen Qing's words were so insightful and pointed to the essence of the matter. They were like thunder in his ears, and his original confusion disappeared instantly.

"Then, the next step in my disciple's practice is to first comprehend the sword's meaning."

Chen Qing nodded.

"Intention is the mind's thought. Although your heart to seek the Dao is firm, your heart for the Dao of Sword is quite weak. This must be due to my influence during Qi Refining. This is not good."

Chen Qing said again.

"Di Jian, although you are my disciple, you must understand that I practice the Way of Fire, which is incompatible with your Way of Sword. The principles of cultivation that I have expounded contain a lot of my understanding of the Way of Fire. You need to discover these things on your own and eliminate them. Only then can you find your own Way of Sword."

After saying that, Chen Qing suddenly took out another storage bag and handed it to Di Jian.

"Now that your cultivation is gradually getting on the right track, I can still give you some pointers, but it will only make you sink deeper and deeper. In your future cultivation, you still have to gain self-realization in order to accumulate the foundation for a breakthrough to the Core Formation stage."

Di Jian took the storage bag that Chen Qing handed over and probed his spiritual sense into it. He saw many spiritual materials and several jade slips placed inside.

"The way of the sword, the way of the sword, there is no way without the sword."

"If you break through to the Jindan stage in the future, you will definitely need to refine your own natal flying sword. It would be best if I could teach you the weapon refining method as soon as possible. In addition to the weapon refining method, the jade slip also contains the practice of the Kongling Sword Technique for the Jindan stage."

Holding the storage bag, Di Jian's eyes suddenly turned red.

"Thank you Master!"

How could he not know that Chen Qing's instructions this time were to let him practice on his own and walk his own path. This was extremely important for him who was following the path of swordsmanship. After all, Chen Qing was not practicing the path of swordsmanship. He could help Di Jian consolidate his foundation when refining Qi, and he could also explain the principles of practice to him when building the foundation. However, to achieve the stage of forming a pill, the cultivator needed to walk his own path, otherwise it would leave flaws in his foundation, affecting his future potential. Even if he was promoted to the stage of forming a pill, it would be difficult to make further progress.

"Alright, I've explained almost everything I need to say. This isn't a matter of life or death, so why be sad? Come back to me after you achieve Jindan."

Seeing that Di Jian's eyes were red, Chen Qing couldn't help but frown. After leaving these words, he waved his hand. Di Jian felt dizzy. When everything in front of him became clear again, he realized that he had been sent out the door by Chen Qing.

Looking at the tightly closed door in front of him, Di Jian closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He slowly stood up, put the storage bag close to his body, then knelt down respectfully and saluted before slowly turning around and leaving.

After seeing Di Jian off, Xu Lingxin frowned.

"You're a terrible master. You didn't even let Di Jian drink a sip of the spiritual tea before sending him out."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing's hand that had picked up the spiritual tea immediately paused, then he took a sip before speaking.

"This is a small matter. After he achieves the Jindan stage, Lingxin can give him a bucketful of it even if she wants."

Hearing this, Xu Lingxin smiled and relaxed her brows.

"I don't have that much spiritual tea, and if we need to pour it, you, the master, should be the first one to drink it."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.
