My Optimized Immortal Life

The news about the Jade Bamboo Forest reached Han Qiu Shui immediately. She read it all and then fell into deep thought.

The patrol team that Chen Changsheng was in only knew that there was an ambush by cultivators, and did not know the whole story. However, Han Qiu Shui knew the whole story.

The black-robed monks who ambushed them were only a part of them. Another part of the black-robed monks directly entered the jade bamboo forest and seized the jade bamboo they had cultivated for several years. Even some of the jade green bamboos were killed.

Although several elders in charge of Luoying Sect realized something was wrong at the first time and tried to stop them, the other side also had Jindan cultivators. After a fight, the elders could only let them leave.

The Jade Bamboo Forest was also severely damaged and will need a long time to recover.

This was not good news for the Luoying Sect. Even for the Luoying Sect, which had already been promoted to a fourth-level sect, the loss of the Jade Bamboo Forest would be painful. It was even more of a blow for them as they had not yet resumed their Xuanyuan Pill business.

There is actually a Jindan demon cultivator taking action. It seems that this matter is unusual and is very likely related to the Black Sky Sect that is suppressing our sect's Xuanyuan Pill business.

Han Qiu Shui thought for a moment and immediately realized something was wrong.

Since Luoying Sect joined the alliance of Dong Yan and others, its development in recent years has been unimpeded and smooth. The sudden emergence of Black Sky Sect is obviously abnormal. Now that the Jade Bamboo Forest has suddenly been attacked, it is easy to associate the two together.

Obviously, someone wanted to suppress Luo Yingzong's development and did not want to see the allied forces grow stronger.

Han Qiu Shui sighed.

This kind of thing is obviously not directed at her, she doesn't have such a big reputation yet. It seems that these people are coming for Chen Qing.

After she sorted out the information she had received, she went to find Chen Qing.

Small courtyard.

Chen Qing and Xu Lingxin sat on stone chairs. Han Qiu Shui sat in front of them and told them the news about the Jade Bamboo Forest and his own speculations.

Hearing this, Xu Lingxin's expression remained unchanged. She just looked at Chen Qing, and an inexplicable look flashed in her clear eyes.

Chen Qing was wearing a plain white robe. Upon hearing this, he frowned and sighed.

"It seems someone wants to cause trouble for me, making it difficult for me to practice peacefully."

"My husband stole the show at the Central Region Competition and attracted a lot of attention."

Xu Lingxin's eyebrows curved and she couldn't help but chuckle.

Han Qiu Shui thought for a moment and spoke.

"Although the Jade Bamboo Forest has been completely plundered by them, the foundation is still there. It only takes a few years of cultivation to produce a new batch of spiritual materials. However, it has been wasted in the past few years, and it will take a lot of manpower and material resources to cultivate it."

"Among these looting black-robed monks, many were killed by our sect's monks, but their identities have not been discovered. However, among the three Jindan cultivators, one demon cultivator used the Blood Sea Demon Skull, and seems to be related to the Heavenly Demon Sect."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing lowered his eyes slightly, thought for a moment, and then spoke slowly.

"The enemy is in the dark, while we are in the light. They haven't attacked many times. We can't figure out their identities based on just one Blood Sea Demon Skull."

"..."

The three of them discussed it but ultimately came to no conclusion. There were still too few clues. The techniques practiced by those cultivators who were building their foundation and refining their Qi were extremely common, making it difficult to infer their specific identities. Among the three foundation-building cultivators, only one of them used the recognizable Blood Sea Demon Skull, and the other two used ordinary techniques, making it difficult to identify their identities.

Luoying Sect was thus put in a passive position, and Chen Qing had no other options for the time being. He could only repair and strengthen the formations of the Jade Bamboo Forest and the other two resource points. At the same time, he arranged for his disciples to patrol the formations to avoid being plundered like the Jade Bamboo Forest again.

After doing all this, Chen Qing thought about it, then left Luoying Sect and went to Chiyu Sect to ask for help.

Akabane Sect.

This sect is located next to a volcano. The underground fire veins are extremely abundant, and it is a holy place that supports the practice of fire monks.

True Lord Chiyu did not expect Chen Qing to come suddenly, so he welcomed him into the main hall and entertained him well. Then the two of them started talking about business.

"Your visit is quite unexpected. I'm afraid there's something important going on that's difficult to resolve."

After Akabane finished speaking, Chen Qing smiled as if to show that you guessed it right.

"Fellow Daoist Chiyu is indeed very considerate. I came here this time because I have something important to ask for your help."

Upon hearing this, Chiyu's expression suddenly became solemn. He knew very well that anything that Chen Qing found difficult must be very complicated. If he wanted to solve it, it would probably take a lot of effort.

"Since you have come to my door, how can I not help you? Please tell me the details of this matter and I will see if I can solve it."

Chen Qing nodded, and then told the whole story of Luoying Sect. He talked for a long time before stopping and waiting for Chiyu to give his opinion.

After thinking for a long time, Akabane slowly spoke and expressed his views.

"Three Jindan cultivators, dozens of foundation-building cultivators, and nearly a hundred Qi-refining cultivators. This number is already quite large. Even for a fourth-tier sect, it's not easy to mobilize such a force. It seems the other party is extremely powerful, and they should be the ones who are at odds with the Six Sects Alliance."

Akabane then went on to name several sects that had conflicts with the Six Sects Alliance.

Chen Qing heard the names of the Black Sky Sect and the Ding Zhen Sect, which made him understand something. After all, the Black Sky Sect had inexplicably cut off the supply of hollow Liuming Fruit before, and Bai Jun of the Ding Zhen Sect was trying to compete for the ownership of the Jade Bamboo Forest for some reason.

Now, when I asked Akabane, I immediately knew the reason.

A look of enlightenment flashed across Chen Qing's face, and he felt relieved, so he spoke.

"Both of these sects are quite powerful, and Dingzhen Sect even has a late Nascent Soul cultivator in charge. It seems I can only swallow this loss."

Hearing this, Akabane spoke.

"That's not necessarily true. Since the development of Dingzhen Sect, it has had many conflicts with my sect and Dongyan Sect, and has encroached on many of my sect's interests. Since they have taken action again this time, it seems that they need a warning."

Akabane thought about it, a look of determination appeared on his face. He looked at Chen Qing and spoke word by word.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, I wonder if you would be willing to go with me to Dongyan Sect to visit Dongyan Zhenjun."

Chen Qing thought about it and agreed.

"This matter concerns me, so I naturally cannot stand idly by. Moreover, if I can persuade Master Dong Yan to take action, then the two of us can just wait it out."

The two looked at each other, then burst into laughter and decided on the next plan.

Even if Ding Zhen Zong was not the mastermind, it must have had some connection with this. Among those black-robed monks who invaded the Jade Bamboo Forest, there must be disciples of their sect. Even if not, that doesn't matter.

Since Chen Qing, Chiyu and Dong Yan all have grievances with Ding Zhenzong, they will solve them together this time. At the very least, they can bite off a piece of meat from Ding Zhenzong to make up for the losses.
