My Optimized Immortal Life

The lake was as calm as a mirror, without any ripples.

The willows on the shore sway in the wind, but if you look closely.

Suddenly, ripples appeared on the water surface near the shore, and Chen Changsheng crawled out. He was weak, his clothes were completely wet and stuck to his body. There were large stains of blood on his chest. He looked extremely embarrassed. His face was pale, with a mixture of horror and joy at having survived a disaster.

In his right hand, he held an exquisite storage bag, wrapped with a spiritual sense far superior to his own. It was obvious at a glance that it was the storage bag of the foundation-building practitioner.

"Before I advance to the Foundation Establishment stage, I will no longer have anything to do with Foundation Establishment cultivators. Even if these guys are about to die, it's not something I can handle."

Chen Changsheng was breathing heavily, practicing his skills to dissolve the healing pills he had taken and suppress his injuries.

Yin Lingzi smiled when he heard this.

"That man was already seriously injured, and his strength was only one tenth of what it was. Although the final resistance was a bit thrilling, you still managed to pull through."

"There's still some residual spiritual consciousness on his storage bag. Spend some time grinding it away, and the bag will be yours."

Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng's face showed joy, but he turned his head and looked at the lake surface which had returned to calm.

Who would have thought that a foundation-building cultivator would be buried in such a small lake.

"Let's talk about the storage bag when we get back. After all, it's a Foundation Establishment stage consciousness. With my consciousness alone, it will probably take me half a month to completely consume it. Why don't you lend a hand, Yin Lingzi?"

Chen Changsheng used his magic power to dry his clothes. White steam rose from his body, sticking some dewdrops on the willow leaves above his head before slowly dissipating.

After hanging the storage bag back around his waist and covering it with his robe, Chen Changsheng walked away.

His gains were enormous. The storage bag of a foundation-building cultivator represented his entire fortune, which must have contained many elixirs, magical instruments, spiritual weapons, and the like.

These things are a considerable fortune for a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, not to mention Chen Changsheng, a young cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage.

After returning to the Jade Bamboo Forest, Chen Changsheng successfully found his previous team. His senior brothers and sisters were all alive at this time because of the protection of the formation, unlike other patrol teams that suffered heavy losses.

The elders were repairing the formation at this time, and the brothers in the foundation-building stage were wandering around, using their magic power to adjust and protect the seriously injured disciples, keeping them alive, and then feeding them elixirs.

After Chen Changsheng found the team, he was not questioned by his senior brothers and sisters. Instead, they asked him if he was injured and gave him some pills to relieve his injuries.

Before, Chen Changsheng had fought with the foundation-building cultivator who was recuperating in the lake. Although it was Yin Lingzi who did the fighting, the cultivator's dying struggle also caused Chen Changsheng to suffer heavy injuries. He vomited blood several times at the bottom of the lake and looked very embarrassed.

Although he had taken elixirs at the bottom of the lake, the effects of the elixirs in the Qi Refining Stage were not great. They only slightly alleviated and suppressed his injuries. Therefore, when he returned to everyone, his clothes were disheveled, covered in blood, and his aura was extremely weak.

Although they did not see Chen Changsheng fighting with those black-robed monks with their own eyes, his appearance would naturally not easily arouse the suspicion of his senior brothers and sisters. Even if someone wanted to ask, he could take out the black robe used for foundation building as proof.

The elders were repairing the formation in the Jade Bamboo Forest, and disciples like Chen Changsheng naturally stayed in their residence in the bamboo forest to recuperate. After all, this attack was extremely sudden, and many disciples, even if they were strong, were inevitably injured, and it was difficult for them to organize effective combat power in a short period of time.

In the hut, Chen Changsheng checked the concealing talismans placed in the house again before asking.

"Yin Lingzi, now you come and dissipate the remaining spiritual consciousness on the storage bag. The elders shouldn't notice, right?"

"Do you think your talisman can protect against the spiritual consciousness of a Jindan cultivator? If I were to take action, I would have to use my spiritual consciousness. The spiritual consciousness of a Jindan cultivator cannot be concealed by your talisman. If you want to avoid being discovered, you have to do it yourself."

Yin Lingzi snorted coldly.

Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng secretly despised him.

This Yin Lingzi was, after all, a cultivator who had reached the perfect Jindan level during his lifetime. Even if only a remnant soul was left now, he should have the means to conceal the fluctuations of his own spiritual consciousness. He said this because he didn't want to help Chen Changsheng.

In this case……

Chen Changsheng sighed secretly, took out the foundation-building storage bag, placed it in his hand, then closed his eyes, urged his spiritual consciousness to climb up the storage bag, and dissipate the foundation-building consciousness remaining on the storage bag.

This process is very long and consumes a lot of spiritual consciousness. Even though the foundation-building person is dead, the strength of his spiritual consciousness is far greater than that of Chen Changsheng. Chen Changsheng has to spend a hundred strands of spiritual consciousness to barely offset one strand of spiritual consciousness.

However, because the spiritual consciousness remaining in the storage bag is rootless, it will continue to dissipate on its own. Therefore, Chen Changsheng only needs to spend some time to completely eliminate it and obtain the contents of the storage bag.

A month passed and Chen Changsheng had already returned to Luoying Sect, but there was still a lot of spiritual consciousness remaining on the storage bag. It took him another half a month to finally eliminate all the remaining spiritual consciousness.

In the cave, Chen Changsheng endured the headache caused by the drastic consumption of his spiritual consciousness and opened the storage bag in his hand.

The spiritual consciousness was no longer blocked and penetrated directly into it, taking in everything inside.

After reading it all, Chen Changsheng could no longer suppress the smile on his face and burst into laughter.

"Thirteen bottles of second-level elixirs, one intact spiritual weapon, two damaged ones, and about thirty thousand spiritual stones and cultivation techniques. He is indeed a foundation-building cultivator!"

The laughter echoed in the cave, making Chen Changsheng calm down quickly, and Yin Lingzi's words rang in his ears.

"With this windfall, you can even afford the Foundation Establishment Pill. From now on, you won't have to worry about resources until you can build your foundation. That's great."

Chen Changsheng nodded, and then asked Yin Lingzi to help him identify the pills in the pill bottles. The spiritual energy of the pills was extremely rich, far exceeding the first-level pills he had taken before, and they were most likely second-level pills.

Upon hearing this, Yin Lingzi also sent out a wisp of spiritual consciousness into the storage bag to count the pills and some other things.

What Chen Changsheng had gained was unknown to the public. Luoying Sect's attention was focused on the formation and the other two resource points to prevent anyone from suddenly attacking the resource points like this time. After all, Luoying Sect only had three resource points. Although this kind of robbery would most likely only happen once, no one could guarantee that there wouldn't be someone stubborn enough to come a second time.

After the formation of the Jade Bamboo Forest was repaired, Chen Qing came to reinforce it and improved it. The original formation was broken by the combined efforts of several Jindan cultivators. After the reinforcement, it could not be broken unless someone in the late Jindan stage took action.

Chen Qing also reinforced the formations of the remaining two resource points one by one. Although he felt that this would only happen once at most, he still had to do some face-saving work.
