My Optimized Immortal Life

The following fight was rather unremarkable. In Chen Qing's opinion, the fights between most cultivators in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul were just so-so, winning by the grade of spiritual treasures and the power of spells.

When it comes to the Nascent Soul stage, a slight difference can't determine the outcome at all. Only those with powerful means that far surpass those of the same level can win.

Obviously, although most Nascent Soul cultivators have profound accumulation, it is not so easy to possess means that far surpass those of the same level.

The later one cultivates, the smaller the gap between them will become. Is there any cultivator who can cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage not a genius?

As the competition progressed, even a cultivator like Dong Yan was defeated by a master who was only one step away from the late Nascent Soul stage.

As for those cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage, they did not participate in the competition. In the entire southern part of the Central Region, apart from the Linxian Pavilion, there were only four cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage. Including the Linxian Pavilion, there were only eight in total. With such a number, there was no need to compete at all.

After all, there are only twelve monks selected in the end. After these eight are taken, there are still four places, which can be allocated to the last two winners of the middle and early stages respectively.

The competition came to an end, and the two winners, the two mid-Nascent Soul cultivators and the two early-Nascent Soul cultivators, were summoned by the True Lord Shangyuan, who rewarded them with spiritual objects that were beneficial to their own practice.

As for Chen Qing and the others, they were received by the late Nascent Soul cultivators of Linxian Pavilion and brought to the White Jade Tower. They were then asked about their needs and given rewards by the cultivators of Linxian Pavilion.

The rewards were distributed very quickly. After all, the cultivators who came to participate in the competition had already thought about their needs long before winning, and Linxian Pavilion had extremely abundant resources, so it was naturally effortless to meet the personal needs of others.

Soon it was Chen Qing's turn. He first asked about the maximum amount he could exchange for.

The monk from Linxian Pavilion smiled when he heard this.

"Fellow Daoist, this is your first time participating in a competition, yet you've already won two rounds and even defeated our sect's True Lord Lei Yuan. You're truly extraordinary and have great potential."

"According to the rules, fellow Daoist can exchange for any spiritual objects below the fourth-grade mid-grade."

Hearing this, Chen Qing thought for a moment and then expressed his needs.

"Then if I were to exchange it for formations, alchemy, weapon refining, or cultivation techniques, what would be the maximum I could get?"

After saying this, the monk from Linxian Pavilion thought for a moment and replied.

"The competition has been going on for so long, and there are very few cultivators who want to exchange for the skills. If you really want to exchange, I will make the decision and allow you to obtain the five skills."

Hearing this, Chen Qing thought for a moment and immediately decided what he needed.

"Then I will exchange it for a fourth-tier formation and weapon refining method, and then three advanced Nascent Soul techniques, is that okay?"

"It's impossible."

After the monk determined the skills that Chen Qing wanted to exchange, he immediately contacted the monks in the building and transferred what Chen Qing needed. He then put it in a storage ring and handed it to Chen Qing.

After taking the storage ring, Chen Qingqing checked it and after confirming that it was correct, he left the White Jade Tower and returned to the Red Feather Flying Boat.

After returning to the flying boat, True Lord Chiyu saw that Chen Qing had an extra storage ring in his hand and immediately congratulated him.

"Fellow Daoist, you have now received your reward. I believe that in three hundred years, your cultivation will be even more advanced, and you may even be able to advance to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. By then, I will have to rely on you."

Hearing this, Chen Qing smiled.

"Fellow Daoist Chiyu's cultivation is becoming increasingly profound. I'm afraid that if he returns and cultivates for another hundred years, he will be able to enter the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. Although I have received a reward, my cultivation time is still short. It will take at least another two hundred years before I can try to break through to the middle stage. I can't compare with you."

The two of them flattered each other, and then after Xu Lingxin came back, Chiyu prepared to drive the flying boat to send Chen Qing and Xu Lingxin back to Luoying Sect. When the three of them were about to leave, flying boats from Piaomiao Pavilion and Yuxiao Sect came to accost them.

Fairy Huanyin and Cheng Xiao each stood at the bow of their own flying boat, their eyes cast towards the bow of the Chiyu flying boat, but they were actually looking at Chen Qing and Xu Lingxin.

As the flying boat approached, she raised her brows and smiled.

"Fellow Daoist Lieyu is truly extraordinary, able to defeat Lei Yuan. Back then, my sister was defeated by Lei Yuan."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing also smiled back.

"It is an honor for me to avenge my defeat to Senior Huanyin. However, Senior Huanyin's cultivation level is far superior to Lei Yuan's now. It is obvious that the latter's talent and ability are far inferior to Senior's."

"Little mouth is so sweet."

Fairy Huanyin smiled, then casually took out a crystal clear light blue demon pill, protected it with magic power, and pushed it to Xu Lingxin beside Chen Qing.

"I see that your Taoist partner is practicing the Ice Dao, and his strength is quite good, but he lacks some spiritual treasures. It just so happens that I killed a fourth-level cold dragon before, so I'll give this dragon pill to my sister."

She turned her gaze to Xu Lingxin, only to see the latter put away the demon pill and then speak.

"Thank you, Senior Huanyin."

Hearing this, she couldn't help but smile, and then she started to leave.

After Fairy Huanyin left, Cheng Xiao stepped forward.

He looked at Chen Qing for a while, then smiled.

"Fellow Daoist Lieyu's methods today have truly broadened my horizons. However, I have only recently advanced to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, so I cannot offer you any treasures. This wisp of earth energy will serve as compensation."

After saying that, he waved his hand and sent out a stream of mysterious yellow energy, which fell into Chen Qing's hands and was quickly taken away by the latter.

"I will always remember your help, senior, and will do my best to help you in the future."

Hearing this, Cheng Xiao nodded and then left on his flying boat.

After the two left, Chiyu didn't say much. He just sent Chen Qing and the others back to Luoying Sect and left directly.

After returning to the courtyard, Chen Qing immediately counted the gains of his trip. It must be said that the Linxian Pavilion was indeed very generous. Among the five fourth-level methods, in addition to the three Nascent Soul methods that could enrich Chen Qing's reserves, both the formation method and the weapon refining method were extremely profound, and could push Chen Qing's two of the four arts of cultivation to the fourth level.

After being promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, formations become more important, and refining equipment is for nourishing one's natal spiritual treasure. Both of these are indispensable. As for elixirs, due to the lack of high-level spiritual materials, high-level elixirs are extremely rare. Chen Qing is the master of Luoying Sect, but the highest spiritual materials in the sect are only third-level. As for fourth-level spiritual materials, I am afraid that only Linxian City or those fourth-level sects with profound foundation can have them, so Chen Qing does not take them.

Of the three Nascent Soul cultivation methods obtained, two were for practicing the way of fire, and one was for practicing the way of ice. It was obvious that the cultivator from Linxian Pavilion had made special preparations for them.

Chen Qing was not satisfied with these three sets of exercises, but their levels were not low. Each one was enough to allow a cultivator to reach perfection in the late Nascent Soul stage, which was acceptable to Chen Qing.

He first spent some time comprehending two fire cultivation techniques, and integrated them into his Yin-Yang Transformation Technique, further enhancing his Yin-Yang magic power.

Then he began to comprehend the formation and refine the equipment.
