My Optimized Immortal Life

After the matter with Bai Jun was settled, Chen Qing resumed his cultivation. His daily accumulation of mana was exactly the same. Now his cultivation was getting deeper and deeper. He was only a little away from the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. Perhaps he would be able to break through in no time.

Having reached this stage of cultivation, the aptitude that had troubled him when he was refining Qi is no longer a problem.

His spiritual roots were still mid-grade fire spiritual roots and low-grade four spiritual roots. Although he had undergone countless transformations and cleansed his body countless times during his practice, he had not deliberately changed his spiritual roots.

The reason was very simple. When he was refining Qi, he used his innate ability to become an alchemist, able to refine many elixirs that promoted cultivation and increased the accumulation of mana. When he was building the foundation, he used the skills to refine the essence of the earth and fire, allowing himself to complete the accumulation of mana in the foundation-building period within just three years. He ascended to the perfection of the foundation-building stage in one step and achieved the false pill stage.

After the Dan is formed, the help that the spiritual roots can provide is already very small. When Chen Qing and Xu Lingxin practiced on the small island in the Great Wilderness, they relied on the power of spiritual veins and formations, practiced their own high-level skills, and accumulated magic power.

Now, after achieving the Nascent Soul stage, the spiritual roots are even less effective. Apart from making it easier for Chen Qing to mobilize the fire-type spiritual energy, they have no other function.

Chen Qing was sitting cross-legged in the room at this time, his eyes slightly closed, and an inexplicable aura spread all over his body. If Xu Lingxin's spiritual awareness could go further, she would be able to see it.

In the void around Chen Qing, there were faint lines appearing. These lines surrounded Chen Qing, and some of Chen Qing's spiritual consciousness resided on them, slowly guiding them.

With the help of these patterns, the surrounding spiritual energy spontaneously gathered towards Chen Qing, entered his body, and was refined into magic power by him to increase his own accumulation.

Chen Qing's current practice of magic power does not require him to spend too much energy. He only needs to use his spiritual consciousness to guide the Taoist patterns and practice the exercises to gradually increase his magic power and accumulate more.

Most of his mind was used to feel the Dao patterns and comprehend the mysteries within them.

In this process, his innate abilities also played a significant role.

At the beginning, when Chen Qing could barely feel the Dao pattern, he tried to attract it. After activating his magic power, he was unable to touch it at all. Therefore, he could only rely on his spiritual sense to pull and touch it.

So Chen Qing spent some more time, relying on his innate abilities and the cultivation techniques of spiritual consciousness accumulated in the Luoying Sect, to deduce a method that could enhance the spiritual consciousness of Nascent Soul cultivators.

Afterwards, as his spiritual awareness grew, Chen Qing was gradually able to perceive some traces of the Dao patterns and could glimpse some of their appearance.

However, when he tried to use his magic power to condense it into Dao patterns, he failed again and again, and he had no idea why.

So Chen Qing had to temporarily give up his plan to use magic power to condense the Dao pattern, and instead try to use his innate ability to deduce the incomplete Dao pattern he had obtained.

What is surprising is that Chen Qing's innate ability is indeed very powerful. Even a mysterious thing like the Dao Pattern that touches the essence of heaven and earth can be completely perfected, allowing Chen Qing to master it in one fell swoop.

Yes, a long time ago, Chen Qing had already mastered some Dao patterns. Among them, the first Dao pattern he mastered was fire.

After mastering the Dao pattern representing fire, Chen Qing discovered that the fire spiritual energy that he originally needed to rely on his own magic power or spiritual consciousness to mobilize was now completely under his control without any gaps. He didn't even need to mobilize magic power or spiritual consciousness, he could mobilize it with just his mind.

Such power has exceeded the scope of the Nascent Soul and reached the level of the God Transformation.

After mastering the Fire Pattern, this pattern can be engraved by his spiritual consciousness and retained in his sea of ​​consciousness, allowing him to mobilize it at will.

Now, there are three Dao patterns in Chen Qing’s sea of ​​consciousness.

One is "fire", one is "ice", and the other is "yin".

He practiced the way of fire when refining Qi and building his foundation, and later used the changes of Yin fire and Yang fire to try to comprehend the way of Yin and Yang changes. However, when he broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, he derived creation from Yin and Yang.

The level of creation is extremely high. Even Chen Qing now has no idea where to start if he wants to comprehend the Dao patterns of creation. Even yin and yang, he can only comprehend part of yin first, and has not yet started to understand yang.

As for "ice", it was for Xu Lingxin's sake. After all, Xu Lingxin practiced the way of ice. If he wanted to comprehend the Dao patterns like him, or even master them, he had to improve his spiritual awareness first, and then be slowly led by Chen Qing.

The process of comprehending the Dao patterns was extremely mysterious. Several hours passed in a flash. By the time Chen Qing slowly came back to his senses, several days had already passed.

He opened his eyes, then slowly stood up. The mysterious aura surrounding his body slowly dissipated, and those Dao patterns that were invisible to the naked eye disappeared in an instant. If one's spiritual awareness was not strong enough, no matter how hard one explored, it would be difficult to glimpse the mystery of the world.

After finishing his practice, Chen Qing walked out of the room. After opening the door, he saw Xu Lingxin sitting on a stone bench with a small ice phoenix in her hand. She was flipping and moving around very flexibly, like a living thing.

Chen Qing could tell at a glance that Xu Lingxin was comprehending the Dao patterns. After he introduced Xu Lingxin to the practice of Dao patterns, the latter also comprehended some things. Although it was difficult for him to truly see the full picture of the Dao patterns due to the lack of spiritual power, he was able to attract a part of the Dao patterns to bless himself.

In Chen Qing's eyes, there were already some Dao patterns hanging around Xu Lingxin's body, and even a small part was in the ice phoenix in her hand.

At this moment, seeing Chen Qing pushing the door open, Xu Lingxin raised her hand, and the little ice phoenix immediately took off. After flying several meters, it slowly dissipated.

"Husband."

She called out softly, then looked at Chen Qing with a happy expression on her face.

Seeing this, Chen Qing also smiled.

"What's wrong."

Xu Lingxin raised the corner of her mouth.

"My spiritual awareness has made some progress recently, and I'm becoming more and more adept at controlling this Ice Phoenix."

Hearing this, Chen Qing nodded, then sat next to Xu Lingxin and spoke.

"Lingxin, do you want to go back to Song?"

After saying this, Xu Lingxin was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes became sharp.

"At the beginning, Tianyuan did not take action, but instead asked the three sects to attack our Tianyun Sect together. My parents were both killed by Zhou Tianzhen of Taixuan Sect..."

After a pause, Xu Lingxin said again.

"However, Master Zhou Tian was also seriously injured as a result of this, and he passed away after returning to Taixuan Sect."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing reached out and hugged Xu Lingxin around the waist, then continued.

"Jingdan cultivators can be killed at will, but they are just ants. Even Tian Yuan, I wonder if he has any trump cards after operating in Song State for so long."

Xu Lingxin shook her head when she heard this.

"My husband, the situation in Luoying Sect is not stable right now. If the two of us leave the sect, Han Qiushui will probably be unable to handle it alone."

Chen Qing smiled.

"Luoying Sect is just a place to stay, and they are targeting me. If they shake the sect, then Linxian Pavilion will take action. There is no need to worry."

Xu Lingxin shook her head.

"I have long since let go of the grudge I held back then. Master Zhou Tian, ​​who killed my parents, has also passed away. Let's just let this past go."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing nodded and said nothing more, just letting Xu Lingxin lean on his shoulder.
