My Optimized Immortal Life

Just as Chen Qing expected, Xu Lingxin then used the Three Spirits Mysterious Fire Fan to easily survive the remaining two thunders. Her magic sword was thus transformed into a half-step fourth-level spiritual treasure. She only lacked a sufficient amount of fourth-level spiritual materials to be promoted.

Once the thunder tribulation is over, what remains is the tribulation of the inner demon.

Xu Lingxin was also very clear that the calamity clouds had not yet dissipated, so she sat down cross-legged, letting the magic sword and the Three Spirits Mysterious Fire Fan stand beside her to protect her. Then she took out the Deliverance Pill, swallowed it in one gulp, and then closed her eyes.

……

The world is spinning.

When Xu Lingxin regained consciousness, she found herself back in Tianyun Sect.

But this is the time when the sect is destroyed.

High in the sky, her father, the leader of Tianyun Sect, a Jindan cultivator, was besieged by four Jindan cultivators from other sects. He was seriously injured and in critical condition.

She wanted to save her father, but found herself just a bystander, unable to move at all. Her Nascent Soul-level magic power seemed to be dormant and she could not feel it.

However, at the gate of Tianyun Sect, there was continuous fighting. The originally majestic sect building had been destroyed. The cultivators of Tianyun Sect were fighting with the cultivators of the other four sects, and both sides suffered casualties.

The magic power never faded away, and the two sides fought back and forth. The aftermath of the battle destroyed the entire mountain gate. Many monks that Xu Lingxin was familiar with were killed in this battle.

"Elder Ji."

An elder who had taken good care of her was besieged by several monks of the same level, and his body exploded, with flesh, blood and bones scattered all over the ground.

"Junior Sister Qiu."

A pretty girl was besieged by two or three monks who were far superior to her. The magic sword pierced through her limbs and neck, turning her into a human stick. Even her head was beheaded by a sword. She rolled to the ground and was trampled into a pulp by someone.

This is a memory hidden deep in Xu Lingxin's heart, and it is her biggest nightmare. She knows that her inner demon will definitely make her face this scene, but at this moment it is still difficult to suppress her inner emotions.

Finally, she saw that her father could no longer hold on in the sky, and his last defense was broken by several Jindan masters. He fell from the sky and gradually lost his breath.

"father!"

She burst into tears, her hard-trained mind was vulnerable to the biggest nightmare in her heart, and she was heartbroken.

But when the flames of war covered the entire Tianyun Sect, the tears on her face stopped.

"This was indeed my nightmare, and the most painful thing in my life, but now I have long since gotten over it."

There were still traces of tears on Xu Lingxin's face. She watched the war burn down the Tianyun Sect and destroy thousands of years of accumulation, but her face was unusually calm.

In the flames, someone whispered in her ear.

"Oh, you've come out? So what? You've fallen into another abyss now."

The whisper echoed in Xu Lingxin's ears, making her eyes flicker with a hint of solemnity.

"what do you mean?"

"Hehehe...don't ask me about things you already understand."

As the flames moved, the scene in front of Xu Lingxin changed again, but it was also a place she was very familiar with.

Chen Qing lay on the bed, looking at her, and suddenly spoke.

"I don't need to teach you what to do next."

Hearing this, Xu Lingxin's expression remained unchanged. She and Chen Qing had been Taoist companions for such a long time that she had long understood the latter's temperament. At this time, Chen Qing had just come into contact with her and had set up a soul restriction for her, but he did not force her.

"Is that all? It seems you're nothing special."

As Xu Lingxin said this, her vigilance grew stronger.

Logically speaking, when a cultivator is going through the tribulation of the inner demon, his own memory will be obscured by the inner demon most of the time, making it easier for the inner demon to use its means to cause the cultivator to sink.

But at the moment, she was not obscured, her mind was clear, and all her memories were vivid. When something was abnormal, there must be something wrong. This inner demon must have other special methods.

Xu Ling's mind was full of thoughts, and the words had just fallen from her mouth.

Then, she saw a figure suddenly appear next to Chen Qing. The figure was wearing a bright red robe, had snow-white skin, and picturesque eyebrows and eyes. It was exactly her.

Xu Lingxin had a seductive look on her face at this time. She untied her robe, revealing a large area of ​​snow-white skin. Then she leaned on Chen Qing, teasing him, causing the latter to show satisfaction on his face.

Then, Xu Lingxin turned around and looked at her again, with a look of disdain on her charming face.

"Who are you? You're just relying on your looks to seduce me. If it weren't for me, you would have died in that Talisman Master's Association."

After saying that, she turned back to serve Chen Qing.

Looking at the two of them kissing each other, looking confused and passionate, Xu Lingxin had a blank expression on her face.

"Indeed, without him, I would have died in the Talisman Master Conference. After all, by then, all the methods left by my parents had been exhausted. Even with the magical weapon that could conceal my face, I would not have been able to escape the blockade of the demon cultivators."

"However, this is also the deal between him and me. He gets the array inheritance and my body, so naturally I will be spared."

As Xu Lingxin finished her words, Xu Lingxin on the bed couldn't help but burst into laughter, and there was a madness in her laughter.

"Yes, this was indeed a deal between you and him. He achieved his goal and you escaped with your life, but you should understand that the reason he kept you by his side was just to use you."

After saying this, Xu Lingxin found that the scene around her had changed again, becoming the place where she used to live in Wanren Mountain.

At this time, Chen Qing had just broken free from the gauze and black socks he brought back, with a determined look on his face and his right hand on his waist.

Xu Lingxin leaned beside him and listened to him speak slowly.

"Lingxin, I recently finally got two foundation-building pills through that special channel. These two foundation-building pills will be the foundation for you and me to achieve enlightenment. However, your energy is greatly depleted now, and I'm afraid I need to rest for a while. Just in case, why don't you break through the foundation-building stage first? If anything unexpected happens, we can still withstand it."

As he spoke, Chen Qing took out a foundation-building pill and wanted to give it to Xu Lingxin.

At this moment, Xu Lingxin was about to speak, but she found that although she was in her own perspective, she still couldn't open her mouth, and couldn't even move at all.

At this moment, she just chuckled and did not take the foundation-building pill. Instead, she put her hand on Chen Qing's waist and gently kneaded it.

"My husband, you are still so impatient. But... do you really want to share one of these foundation-building pills with me?"

Hearing this, Chen Qing smiled.

"You are my Taoist companion. Even if the Tao is great, it will be too lonely without anyone by my side. So, I hope you can keep walking with me."

"Husband."

When Xu Lingxin heard his words at this time, her whole body seemed to melt and she was conquered by Chen Qing.

At this moment, next to Xu Lingxin, another Xu Lingxin with a charming face was leaning close to her ear, and a faint fragrance came to her, accompanied by a whisper.

"My husband has always kept secrets from us. This is normal. Everyone has their own secrets. However, you have been with him for such a long time, so you must have noticed something a little strange. He may be carrying a secret treasure that is even more powerful than the Heaven and Earth Furnace."

"After all," the other Xu Lingxin paused, placed his hands on Xu Lingxin, causing her body to stiffen, and then continued.

"You and I both know that my husband's spiritual roots are only of the middle grade, but he was able to rise all the way and soar to the sky. Now, in just a hundred years, he has achieved the Nascent Soul stage. How terrifying."

"Of course," she suddenly changed the subject, and what she said next made Xu Lingxin look horrified.

"You were able to follow him all the way up, and now you have even achieved the Nascent Soul stage. This is a rare opportunity. However, you know clearly that he has only been using you from the beginning, just like this Foundation Establishment Pill."

Having said that, Xu Lingxin suddenly stood up, looked at her horrified expression, reached out and took the foundation-building pill from Chen Qing's hand, put it in front of her, and then couldn't help laughing.

"How could she, the daughter of the Tianyun Sect's leader, who had reached the Perfect Qi Refining stage at the time, not recognize the Foundation Establishment Pill?"

She laughed loudly, with contempt for Xu Lingxin.

"However, you truly trust him. Even though you know this Foundation Establishment Pill is completely different from anything you've seen, you still took it."

After she finished speaking, Xu Lingxin found that she could speak again, so she immediately restrained her expression and spoke slowly.

"When I broke through the foundation-building stage, all of Chen Lang's elixirs transformed into medicinal power, not only helping me break through the final barrier, but also completely healing my old injuries, allowing my foundation to return to perfection. The significance of this is clear to both you and me."

"Oh?"

Xu Lingxin in front of her smiled when she heard this, walked straight to her, lifted her chin with her fingers so that he could look down at Xu Lingxin, and then listened to her speak.

"You and I both know how profound his methods are. Improving the foundation-building pill formula is a piece of cake. However, he himself is not confident and has used you to test the pill first."

"So what? Ordinary foundation-building pills can only help cultivators break through barriers at best. But the one my husband improved can cleanse the body and mend old injuries. Its effectiveness is far greater."

Xu Lingxin's face was calm.

When she saw the first scene, she knew that the inner demon would continue to use Chen Qing to attack her, so she was already prepared.

Upon hearing this, the inner demon sneered.

"You're quite protective of him."

"However, you should also be clear that he is only using you. If you are no longer useful, he will throw you aside, just like he did in Liuguang Pavilion."

Xu Ling was stunned. The empty room appeared before her again. The candlelight was dim, illuminating only the table where the jade slip left by Chen Qing was placed. She sat beside it, her brows filled with sorrow that was difficult to dispel.

Looking at the scene in front of me.

Xu Lingxin suddenly smiled.

"It is indeed as you said, but I did it willingly. If you only pester him and try to disturb my mind and confuse my mind, it will be useless."

Xu Lingxin suddenly closed her eyes, then opened them again and continued talking.

"He is my Taoist companion and the one who helped me achieve enlightenment. I will never be able to repay his kindness in this lifetime. However, my path does not lie with him."

At some point, frost began to fall from the side, spreading the cold and freezing everything around.

"How can it be……"

When the inner demon saw this scene, he could no longer maintain his original expression and turned into a look of horror.

"You have completed the soul refining."

"Yes, with the help of the power of the Deliverance Pill, I have already refined my spirit and the cultivation of the Nascent Soul stage. It is now a smooth road for me, without any obstacles."

Xu Lingxin spoke slowly, and the coldness spread from her body, turning her black hair into snow-white, and her eyes gradually turned blue. But in front of her, the inner demon was gradually frozen by the coldness, and then turned into fragments, floating in the inner demon illusion that was gradually collapsing.

Xu Lingxin was naturally very clear about what the inner demon said.

She also knew everything about Chen Qing's concealment of the truth from her and asking her to try out the Foundation Establishment Pill for him. Just like this time, he gave her his own life-defining spiritual treasure, ostensibly to help her overcome the thunder tribulation, but in fact, the Three Spirits Mysterious Fire Fan could also use the power of the thunder tribulation to go further.

But, so what.

A soft murmur sounded in the shattered illusion of the inner demon.

"Even if he really is using me, I am willing to do so."
