My Optimized Immortal Life

After Di Jian came back from Chen Qing, he first reviewed what Chen Qing had said, then looked at the refining method and spiritual materials that Chen Qing had given him in the storage bag, and then he slowly exhaled.

"According to what Master said, I should first find my own sword path. So, what is the so-called sword path?"

He asked himself this.

Ever since he joined the Luoying Sect, he was recognized by the sect elders as having the Tongming Sword Body. Although it was only the lowest level of special physique, compared to other fellow disciples who only had spiritual roots but no physique, there was already a huge gap, which was difficult to overcome through his own efforts.

Thanks to his physique and his own high-grade golden spiritual roots, Di Jian's practice of swordsmanship was relatively smooth. Although Luoying Sect was a small third-level sect, it was located in the central region and had a strong foundation. There were quite a few sword techniques that could be practiced to the foundation-building stage.

Under such circumstances, Di Jian's initial practice was naturally very smooth. He continued to practice until the late stage of Qi Refining, and his combat power was also among the best among all Qi Refining disciples.

Then came the duel with Zhang Qiubai, and he was accepted as a disciple by Chen Qing...

Thinking of this, Di Jian slowly opened his eyes.

"My sword path should be forged by myself. Master said that the so-called Tao is where the heart goes and where the spirit goes. It seems that it is time for me to go down the mountain and gain experience."

Ever since he practiced the ethereal sword technique taught to him by Chen Qing, the sword techniques in Luoying Sect were only of reference value to him. During the period when he was practicing to the foundation-building stage, he read all the sword techniques in the sect. This meant that there was no more accumulation in Luoying Sect to support his sword practice.

Although there are quite a few disciples in the sect who practice swordsmanship, most of them are only in the Qi Refining Stage. Many of them choose to follow the swordsmanship because they see that I am powerful and practice swordsmanship. They don’t even know the path they want to take, and it is of no benefit to me.

The Central Region is vast, and the number of cultivators is difficult to count. There are also many sects that practice swordsmanship. This time when I go down the mountain, I will visit these swordsmanship sects one by one to find my own swordsmanship path.

Di Jian also spent quite a bit of time in the Sutra Library. In addition to the sword techniques, he naturally also had some understanding of the situation in the entire Central Region's cultivation world. In the southern part of their Central Region, there were no less than ten sword sects, and one of them was a fourth-tier sword sect with a Nascent Soul-level sword cultivator in charge.

However, the fourth level is still too far away from Di Jian. He is just building his foundation now. If he sets this sect as his goal, it is possible.

As for the next journey, we will first travel 70,000 miles to the northeast to visit the Hundred Swords Sect.

Di Jian made a plan, then packed up and prepared to leave.

Half a day later, he submitted an application to the sect to leave the sect for a long time. Normally, such an application would be rejected by the sect, but Chen Qing was behind Di Jian, so in the end they had no choice but to agree.

Di Jian went down the mountain, controlling the flying sword given to him by Chen Qing, and left the sect.

The cultivators who have established their foundation are already able to fly in the air for a long time, but the Baijian Sect is 70,000 miles away from the Luoying Sect. Within this distance, there are many scattered small sects and markets.

Di Jian naturally did not have the profound magical power of Chen Qing that was enough to support his flight of 70,000 miles. After flying for nearly a hundred miles, he felt that his magical power was insufficient, so he found a market and slowly landed.

Most of the markets for independent cultivators are built by independent cultivators who have established their foundation. Most of these independent cultivators who have established their foundation have practiced for a long time in major sects but have not made any progress.

After leaving the sect, since he still had some time left in his life, he opened a market to gather wandering cultivators and provide a resting place for traveling cultivators, similar to the post stations in secular dynasties.

Di Jian was taught by Chen Qing, so he naturally learned about 50% of the latter's caution. He restrained his foundation-building aura, settled on a hill a few miles away from the market, and slowly walked into the market.

Since he had been away from the sect for a long time, Di Jian did not wear any clothes with the Luoying Sect logo. He just pretended to be a casual cultivator and walked into the market.

This market is not big, but it occupies an area of ​​nearly one mile. Hundreds of small houses are scattered around it, and there are also Qi-refining practitioners setting up stalls on both sides of the street.

As soon as Di Jian entered, he heard a monk shouting loudly around.

"Oh no! I heard that the Blood Demon Taoist killed three more cultivators who came to cause trouble for him. After this battle, I'm afraid he has already gathered the corpses of cultivators who have broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage. If he breaks through to the Foundation Establishment stage, I'm afraid he will come to every market within a hundred miles."

"How is it possible? Fellow Daoist Yifeng, Fellow Daoist Xuanji, and Fellow Daoist Yanling are all at the late stage of Qi Refining. That Blood Demon is only at the ninth level of Qi Refining, not yet perfect. How could he be able to defeat the three of them together?"

A monk who knew about this matter spoke up and immediately refuted the former's statement.

But the monk looked anxious.

"I saw it with my own eyes. The blood demon set up a blood formation on Yingnu Peak, using the power of the formation to surround the three of us. At that time, I was on the periphery and saw a surging wave of blood, covering the top of the mountain layer by layer. Even when magic was hitting it, it didn't seem to waver in the slightest."

"How could this be? When did the Blood Demon cultivate the Blood Formation?"

The monk who knew about this matter showed surprise on his face when he heard this, and then another monk spoke.

"The technique that the Blood Demon cultivates is the Blood Refining Technique, which can refine the blood essence of cultivators for its own use. The method of refining relies on the blood formation recorded in it."

As soon as these words were spoken, countless monks around were shocked and immediately turned to look at the person who spoke.

There was a pale middle-aged cultivator standing there. His face was ordinary, but some people still recognized his identity.

"You are Chen Eryuan, the one who traveled with the blood demon in his early years."

As soon as he finished speaking, the monks around him immediately showed vigilance on their faces and distanced themselves from Chen Eryuan.

"Indeed, it was me, but I parted ways with the Blood Demon a long time ago. The reason was the Blood Refining Technique, which we obtained together while exploring the cave of a Foundation Establishment cultivator. But the Blood Demon went back on his word, injured me, and then took the Blood Refining Technique and fled."

After these words were spoken, the monks around secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Di Jian was listening to the story from the side and couldn't help but become interested, so he continued listening.

I just heard Chen Eryuan continue to speak.

"After the blood demon stole the blood refining method, it immediately fled the cave. Although I tried to chase it, I was ambushed by it and was injured. Although I didn't die, I had no strength left. I had to recuperate in the cave. But while recuperating, I found the jade slips related to the blood refining method in the cave."

"It is recorded that refining a cultivator's blood essence requires the aid of a blood formation. However, the blood formation diagram is in the Blood Refining Method. The jade slip I obtained only briefly describes the key points of practicing the Blood Refining Method."

After these words were spoken, the monks around immediately felt something was wrong.

"If it's really as Chen Eryuan said, then the Blood Demon really killed three fellow Taoists. With the help of the essence and blood of three cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining, and the fact that the Blood Demon himself is at the ninth level of Qi Refining, it is very likely that he will break through to the perfection of Qi Refining and advance to the foundation building stage!"

A monk said this with a look of horror on his face.

The foundation-building cultivators are an insurmountable chasm for them as casual cultivators, especially the Blood Demon, who is a cultivator of the demonic path. If he is really allowed to break through the foundation-building stage, he will probably go on a killing spree, slaughtering cultivators to provide for his own cultivation.

Di Jian was listening at the side, and he felt like killing the blood demon.

The cultivator of the demonic path still practices the path of blood. He was able to grow up among the casual cultivators and reach the late stage of Qi Refining. He is truly a character. If he really breaks through to the foundation building stage, he will probably become a disaster within a hundred miles around.
