My Optimized Immortal Life

Chapter 314: Cultivation Progress

After Di Jian left the sect, Chen Qing still stayed on Qixia Peak, practicing diligently every day. He also made a lot of progress in his magic power and was one step closer to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

As for the spiritual treasure, the Three Spirits Mysterious Fire Fan has gained some spirituality since it survived the Thirty-Nine Thunder Tribulations and was baptized by a wave of nine-fold thunder tribulations. Later, under Chen Qing's nourishment, this spirituality continued to grow, and now it can greatly increase the power of the Three Spirits Mysterious Fire Fan itself.

Chen Qing's only spiritual treasure is the Three Spirits Mysterious Fire Fan. It seems very little, but it is the current situation of most Nascent Soul cultivators.

Fourth-grade spiritual materials are extremely rare. Even in the Central Region, they are not common. Only the four major Divine Transformation sects and some Nascent Soul sects with extremely deep foundations can produce them. The output is extremely low, and it is not enough for self-use, and even less is circulated to businesses.

The Purple Extreme Divine Fire Iron that Chen Qing had obtained before was not rare among the fourth-level spiritual materials, so there was excess stock in Linxian Pavilion, which was enough to meet his needs.

However, the last time he exchanged for the Purple Extreme Divine Fire Iron, he used five fourth-level martial arts techniques to exchange for it. Fourth-level spiritual materials are difficult to purchase with spirit stones, so he had to barter. However, Chen Qing did not have any fourth-level items in his hands.

As for the martial arts, although he could deduce it with the help of his innate ability, it had only been a few decades since the last transaction. If he were to trade again with the same martial arts, it would inevitably attract other people's attention, so it was not advisable.

The power of spiritual treasures is extraordinary. For Nascent Soul cultivators, they are beneficial in both fighting and daily practice. Unfortunately, with my current foundation, it is difficult for me to invest in refining another spiritual treasure.

Although Chen Qing's cultivation has entered the Nascent Soul stage and his fighting skills are extraordinary in the Nascent Soul stage, in other aspects, he still remains at the third level and has not made much progress.

His formations, alchemy, and weapon forging were only at the third level. Although he had gradually advanced in level over time, there was still an insurmountable distance between him and the fourth level.

As for making talismans, this method of making a living while he was refining Qi, he had not used it for a long time and was currently only at the second level.

There is no other way. Let alone the fourth level, the price of a third level talisman alone is not something an ordinary Jindan cultivator can afford.

For every third-level talisman, the talisman paper must be made of third-level spiritual materials or the skin of third-level monsters. The spiritual liquid used to draw the talismans must also be at least third-level. Chen Qing had been practicing on the island for nearly a hundred years, and the number of third-level monsters he had killed was only about dozens. If he used it to draw talismans and improve his talisman attainments, with his second-level talisman master cultivation, he might not even be able to make a splash. As for the fourth level, let alone spiritual materials, even fourth-level monsters are not something Chen Qing can easily find, let alone kill.

Therefore, Chen Qing gave up the practice of talismans and turned to study alchemy, weapon refining, and formation formations.

Thanks to the presence of Shi Yu, a third-rank alchemist in Luoying Sect, whenever Chen Qing had doubts in his alchemy practice, he would go to him for consultation. As a result, his alchemy practice surpassed the formation level and was promoted to the third-rank mid-grade level.

Shi Yu is also an alchemist of this level. Both of them have achieved extremely high attainments in alchemy. Without the intervention of external forces, it will take at least a hundred years of hard work based on their own accumulation to achieve a breakthrough.

Therefore, Chen Qing's four arts of cultivating immortals were stranded here. Although they could still help his magic power cultivation, they were not as great as when he was forming a pill and building a foundation.

Fortunately, the lifespan of a Yuanying stage cultivator is a thousand years, and Chen Qing is only over a hundred years old, so he has plenty of time to practice and accumulate strength. After he joined the alliance, the Luoying Sect also stabilized.

Now, he has neither internal strife nor external threat, and is quite stable. Only the Central Region Competition can make him pay much attention.

Some time passed.

Next to the hill where Chen Qing had survived the tribulation, Xu Lingxin was suspended in mid-air, her face calm but with a hint of nervousness in her eyes.

"Husband."

Chen Qing stood beside her. When he heard her calling him, he immediately stepped forward and comforted her.

"Keep your mind calm and focused when going through the tribulation. With Lingxin's strength, it shouldn't be difficult to survive this thunder tribulation."

Listening to Chen Qing's encouragement, the tension in Xu Ling's heart gradually dissipated. She let out a light breath, her eyes became firm, she looked up at the sky, and the extremely strong Dan-forming magic power in her body began to condense.

Seeing this, Chen Qing smiled slightly, and his figure flashed, appearing in the air ten miles away.

As for Han Qiu Shui and other sect elders, they were also standing nearby. They looked at Xu Lingxin who was suspended in mid-air, feeling the latter's extremely condensed magical aura, and were all shocked in their hearts.

They naturally knew very well that Xu Lingxin was Chen Qing's Taoist companion, but Xu Lingxin did not show her true colors in her daily life, and her communication with them was not very frequent. Although all the elders knew that Xu Lingxin had reached the Jindan stage, they did not know that her foundation was so profound and her magic power had reached the perfection of the Jindan stage.

Among all the elders, Han Qiu Shui had the most complicated expression.

She has practiced diligently for hundreds of years and is now not far from achieving the perfect Dan stage, but she can clearly sense that there is still a huge gap between herself and Xu Lingxin.

She thought to herself.

With the help of a Taoist companion at the Yuanying level, he should be far superior to me. If he is not even as good as me, it would be a waste of his Yuanying cultivation.

Thinking of this, Han Qiu Shui couldn't help laughing again. She shifted her gaze to Chen Qing, looking at the latter's back with regret.

If I were his fellow Taoist, I should be the one who survived the tribulation today, right?

She was in mixed emotions, but she knew that such an opportunity was not for her.

In the sky, as Xu Ling's spiritual power gradually condensed, her aura rose, and calamity clouds slowly gathered. However, this calamity cloud was not the three-colored calamity cloud that Chen Qing had used to overcome the calamity, but an ordinary one-colored calamity cloud.

Seeing this, Chen Qing seemed relieved on the surface, but felt a little regretful in his heart.

As for Han Qiu Shui and others, they looked solemn.

Compared with Chen Qing's three-colored calamity cloud, the one-colored calamity cloud that Xu Lingxin crossed was the scene when a normal cultivator broke through. Watching Xu Lingxin's breakthrough was of great benefit to them, especially to Han Qiu Shui.

After all, she is now only a little away from completing the Jindan stage. Although she feels a little regretful that she cannot become Chen Qing's Taoist partner, her heart towards the Tao is still firm. She also wants to achieve the Yuanying stage and consolidate the status of the Luoying Sect.

The calamity clouds gathered, and their scale was much smaller than Chen Qing's original three-colored calamity clouds, only about one-third. Among them, there was purple lightning flowing, surging above the calamity clouds, gradually condensing, and about to form calamity thunder to hinder Xu Lingxin from transcending the calamity.

Seeing this, Xu Lingxin felt extremely calm. She continued to mobilize her own magic power to complete the initial transformation in her dantian, while practicing the method that Chen Qing had given her.

In the calamity cloud, the first calamity thunder was brewing and fell down with an extremely fast speed. Before Han Qiu Shui and others could react, they saw the purple thunder crossing the sky and landing in front of Xu Lingxin.

Xu Lingxin's long black hair was flying, and her pretty face was calm and without any ripples.

The thunder fell in front of her, and was first weakened by the protective spiritual shield, and then fell on her, but was absorbed and refined by the method deliberately deduced by Chen Qing, and did not hurt Xu Lingxin. Even her bright red robe was not damaged.

However, when the thunder entered her body, although she had Chen Qing's method to resist it, Xu Lingxin still frowned. She pinched her hands to make a spell, and the magic power flowed around her body. She mobilized all her strength to refine the thunder. The thunder that invaded her body was dispersed by the magic power, and turned into strands of electric snakes, which were then trapped by the magic power and refined in her body, nourishing her body and meridians.

After passing the first thunderbolt, Xu Lingxin was unharmed, and Han Qiu Shui and others were not surprised.

After all, he is Chen Qing's Taoist companion. The Nascent Soul cultivator can keep him safe with just a few tricks. Although this thunder is terrifying, compared with Chen Qing's three-colored thunder cloud, it is actually nothing.
