My Optimized Immortal Life

Chen Qing didn't know at this moment that Lu Chengpeng and the others had already regarded him as a dead man. But even if he knew, the most he could do was to run away in advance. As for counterattack? Chen Qing didn't want to do such a life-threatening thing. Fighting with an unreasonable thing like the Demon Dao, unless you have overwhelming strength, otherwise how can you fight against the Demon Dao if they just use a few desperate secret techniques.

Now that he knew that there might be a cultivator of the demonic path in the Talisman Master Association, Chen Qing became very nervous. If he considered the worst case scenario, it would be that the entire Talisman Master Association was a spy planted in the Three Islands Alliance. However, this possibility was relatively low. After all, Old Qian had been a member of the Three Islands Alliance for a long time and had sufficient seniority. If he was a cultivator of the demonic path, those foundation-building cultivators in the alliance should be able to recognize him. At the very least, True Man Linghua would also know him, after all, the latter was the only Jindan cultivator in Qiubo Lake.

Having said that, Chen Qing still didn't want to gamble on the probability. The risk of staying in the Talisman Master Association was a little too great, which made him, a guy who liked to play it safe, quite worried.

The main reason is that he just joined the Talisman Master Association today, and he hasn't gotten enough benefits yet. Although he got several books on techniques that are enough to practice to the foundation-building stage and many methods of drawing talismans, there are still many things in the Hundred Talismans Building and the Ten Thousand Methods Building that he hasn't seen. So now he has to make a choice, whether to stay in the association and get everything he can, or prepare to run away first.

Now I have just joined the Talisman Master Association. Even if there are really demonic cultivators in the association, they will not attack me immediately. Jiang Xuming is only a high-grade Talisman Master, and his cultivation is only the sixth level of Qi Refining. He has not even entered the late stage of Qi Refining. He should not be a big threat to those demonic cultivators, so at most they should list me as a key observation target and send people to monitor my whereabouts in the association every day. If that is the case, I can still take advantage of the association first.

Chen Qing didn't know much about the current situation, but the situation on Qiuye Island was relatively stable, and he hadn't heard of any demonic monks appearing, so safety should still be guaranteed. So for now, Chen Qing only needed to stay in a straight line between the Wanfa Building and the Baifu Building in the association.

As for Professor Xu Lingxin and Zhang Lin making talismans, that's where the traces of the magic path came from. Chen Qing didn't want to rush there headfirst. It wouldn't be good for him whether he broke it or not, so he could only let Xu Lingxin and Zhang Lin suffer a little first.

After deciding on the next plan, Chen Qing began to review his current strength.

In two years, although his magic power has broken through to the sixth level of Qi Refining, it is only a preliminary entry. Except that the total amount of mana far exceeds that of the fifth level of Qi Refining, there is nothing else. However, the progress of body cultivation is gratifying. With Chen Qing's hard work using the essence and blood of monsters, he is now a body cultivator in the middle stage of body cultivation. His body cultivation is already equivalent to his magic power. To be precise, his body cultivation is even higher than his magic power. After all, the body can become stronger by krypton blood, which is much easier than Chen Qing's own practice of practicing magic.

As for spiritual consciousness, Chen Qing had no idea what to do. Although most novels said that the protagonist had to cultivate the three aspects of body, magic and spirit, that also required a method. There were many body-refining methods in the market, but there was nothing about spiritual consciousness or spirit cultivation. Even in the Wanbao Pavilion that was spread all over the Song Dynasty, Chen Qing did not find any information about this.

So, Chen Qing can only work hard to cultivate his physical strength and magic power first.

In addition, Chen Qing's attainment in talisman making reached the first-class upper grade two years ago. Now his success rate in drawing upper-grade talismans is about 80%, and his weapon refining has also reached the first-class lower grade. With these two skills of cultivating immortals, the spirit stones earned by Chen Qing are far more than Lu Chengpeng and Liu Yanghe imagined.

The mid-grade magic weapon Golden Feather Sword that Chen Qing had obtained before has now been retired. He bought a top-grade flying sword Jingyun as a surprise for the enemy, and the Qingling Bronze Shield also met the same fate. The brand-new Black Armor Shield replaced it. However, these two magic weapons have never been used since Chen Qing got them, and now he has actually abandoned them. Alas, it can only be said that Chen Qing's progress is too fast, and the magic weapons cannot keep up with his progress.

As for the mid-grade Qingye Boat, Chen Qing still did not replace it. After all, the best and upper-grade flying magic tools were really expensive. Even for him, although he could buy it with gritted teeth, there was no guarantee that he would not be targeted by others, so he had to bear the pain and not buy it.

However, he has now obtained the method of drawing the Yufeng Talisman from Baifu Tower. Using this talisman to bless the Qingye Boat should be able to increase the speed of escape to the level of a top-grade magic weapon.

He had all the tools for attack, defense and escape. After careful calculation, Chen Qing estimated that if he added his talismans, even a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining would not be able to escape harm in his hands. After all, although the spells in the Qi Refining stage were powerful, most cultivators relied on magic weapons to fight the enemy. As a guy with top-grade magic weapons, Chen Qing should have an advantage in fighting against those casual cultivators who only had high-grade magic weapons. However, if he faced the elite disciples in the sects, he would probably still be far behind.

But there was no way. Chen Qing was also a casual cultivator. Moreover, his magic weapons were comparable to those of the disciples of the big sects. But Chen Qing also had a lot of talismans in his pocket. He only sold one top-grade Golden Sword Light Talisman to Gong Yangchang, and he still had more than 30 in his pocket. If there really was a demon cultivator targeting Chen Qing, unless he was a foundation-building cultivator, Chen Qing felt that he would not be able to withstand the power of his more than 30 Golden Sword Light Talismans.

The talisman is his ultimate weapon for counterattack.

In the next few days, Chen Qing first mastered the drawing methods of talismans such as the Wind Controlling Talisman and the Fire Rain Talisman, and stopped only after he was able to draw the finished talismans. He also took time to comprehend the Earth Fire Transformation Technique and several other techniques.

After finishing these things, Chen Qing went to the Talisman Master Association to get new talisman-making methods and techniques for free.

Of course, due to the pressure from the demonic sect, Chen Qing only picked those high-grade talismans and foundation-building exercises to reduce his presence in the eyes of the demonic cultivators. Even to Xu Lingxin and Zhang Lin, Chen Qing only went twice in seven days, and each time he stayed for no more than an hour, and he only taught Xu Lingxin and Zhang Lin talismans. Since the other apprentices didn't want to have too much contact with Chen Qing from the beginning, Chen Qing just let them go.

After several days of fear, Chen Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw no demon cultivators jumping out to attack him. This showed that Chen Qing did not have much presence in the eyes of those demon cultivators, which meant that he was safe for the time being.

The demon cultivators didn't care about me, a top-grade Talisman Master. Since they've infiltrated the Talisman Master Association, they definitely want to join the upper echelons of the Three Islands Alliance. In other words, these demon cultivators intend to get their hands on Qiubo Lake.

Chen Qing knew very well what these demonic cultivators wanted to do. After all, there was only one demonic sect, the Chixue Sect, in the territory of Song State. Their goal had always been simple, which was to come out from the dark and have an actual sect base.

Since the Red Blood Sect's True Lord Red Blood achieved Nascent Soul status hundreds of years after the Tianyuan Sect's rule, he was inferior to the Tianyuan Sect's True Lord Tianyuan in terms of both magic weapons and cultivation. Therefore, although the Red Blood Sect was a demonic sect, it did not gain any territory within the territory of the Song State, but simply hid in the dark, waiting for the opportunity.

It now seems that the demonic cultivators of the Red Blood Sect have probably infiltrated most of the settlements of independent cultivators, including the Maple Valley in the past and the Qiubo Lake now.

Chen Qing suddenly realized that it was not that he was unlucky, but that the demonic cultivators of the Red Blood Sect had already infiltrated many gathering places of scattered cultivators within the territory of Song State. What this meant was too simple to understand.

If this is true, then the entire Song State is not safe.
