My Optimized Immortal Life

The Red Blood Sect has great ambitions, but does this have anything to do with Chen Qing, a mere Qi-refining cultivator?

Under such circumstances, the Red Blood Sect must have focused most of its energy on infiltrating the many forces in the Song State. To achieve this, it also means that the demonic cultivators will not easily reveal their identities, so Chen Qing does not need to worry too much.

Moreover, he also has the secret method of Qi-gazing. Although it is mainly used to detect spiritual eyes, it can actually be used to see through the hidden abilities of cultivators. Chen Qing had previously used this Qi-gazing method to see Zuo Ze's "hidden" cultivation level.

Although his real cultivation level was Foundation Establishment, Chen Qing also obtained information from the intelligence after the attack on Maple Valley that Zuo Ze used secret methods and magic weapons to store his Foundation Establishment cultivation level, so he could not tell that Zuo Ze was a Foundation Establishment cultivator at that time.

After all, most of his cultivation is in the Hundred Souls Banner, and his magic power is indeed only about the eighth level of Qi Refining.

Therefore, the art of qi-gazing is still reliable. It's just that Chen Qing has never used his innate ability to comprehend it. And he hasn't figured out anything on his own in the past two years. This made him realize that the grade of the art of qi-gazing should be extremely high.

After all, even compared with the second-level spells of foundation-building cultivators, Qi-refining cultivators can gain something from it after two or three years of contemplation, so this Qi-gazing technique is probably at least the top secret technique among the second-level or third-level secret techniques.

After deducing that the level of this Qi-gazing technique was extremely high, Chen Qing no longer dared to use his innate ability to cheat.

Although he believed that his innate ability could help him master the art of seeing qi, he was afraid that he would return to the first level of Qi Refining.

Now the art of Qi-gazing has not reached the point where Chen Qing must master it, so Chen Qing wants to be safe and wait until he has established his foundation before considering mastering the art.

However, he could first use the Qi-gazing technique to check on Old Qian and the other talisman masters in the guild, and find out the demonic monks first, so that Chen Qing could make targeted plans.

After a series of plans, Chen Qing repeatedly reminded himself that he was only at the Qi Refining stage now. Although he would not be taken seriously by the demonic cultivators, he had to be careful not to be affected. In simple terms, he had to hide.

Do it as soon as you think of it. The next day, after Chen Qing arrived at the Talisman Master Association, he went to the main building of the association first. He used the Qi-Observing Technique to carefully look at the talisman masters in the association. However, what surprised Chen Qing was that most of the talisman masters in the association were normal. He did not see any cultivators with hidden cultivation, nor did he see any cultivators who concealed their aura.

This would make things even worse, because if there were no magic practitioners among the ordinary talisman masters in the association, then the magic practitioners could only be those talisman masters of higher status, such as Old Qian.

Just as Chen Qing was thinking about how to find a reason to visit Mr. Qian, a voice suddenly came from beside him.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, the Talisman Master Club here is pretty good, isn't it?"

The voice was quite familiar, as if I had heard it before, but it didn't sound old.

Chen Qing turned around and saw, "Oh my god, it's Lu Chengpeng? Why is this guy saying hello to me?"

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Chen Qing responded, "Yes, Fellow Daoist Lu, the Talisman Master Association is indeed quite good. There are many kinds of talismans, and I have gained a lot." After a pause, Chen Qing continued, "I'm sorry, I said a little too much yesterday. I hope Fellow Daoist Lu doesn't mind."

When Lu Chengpeng heard what Chen Qing said, his eyes immediately narrowed, and then opened again.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang and I are of the same faith. How could I care about a little offense?"

He said with a smile.

However, Chen Qing was still using the Qi-sensing technique at this time. When he met Lu Chengpeng, he found that there was a layer of barrier on his body that concealed his breath. This surprised Chen Qing. Under that barrier, the cultivation level that was hidden by Lu Chengpeng was displayed in Chen Qing's eyes.

Ninth level of Qi refining!

Chen Qing couldn't help but exclaim: "Good fellow, Lao Lu! I didn't expect that you, with your light eyebrows and small eyes, are actually a great man at the ninth level of Qi Refining?"

Although his inner thoughts were extremely active, Chen Qing did not appear panicked at all.

"Then I would like to thank you, fellow Taoist."

His smile remained unchanged, but his eyes became much deeper.

Although Lu Peng has concealed his cultivation, there is no guarantee that he is a cultivator of the magic path. However, he has concealed his cultivation in a place like the Talisman Master Association and has even risen to the position of an elder, so he must have other intentions.

Chen Qing immediately became wary of Lu Chengpeng and made him his "key observation target".

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, now that our misunderstanding has been resolved, why don't we go find a room upstairs and have a good discussion about the art of talismans."

Lu Chengpeng said so.

"That's right." Chen Qing agreed.

This Lu Chengpeng was asked to go to his room, so there must be something good going on.

Considering this, Chen Qing agreed.

After all, they are now in the Talisman Master Association. Even if Lu Chengpeng is really a demon cultivator, he will not attack Chen Qing. What's more, Lu Chengpeng is only at the ninth level of Qi Refining. Chen Qing is confident that he can deal with him.

After the two of them agreed, they went up to the second floor together. This was the place where the Talisman Master Association usually used to entertain guests. If they wanted to maintain such a large Talisman Master Association, they must have a lot of income, and talismans were in great demand, so basically it was some forces on the island, such as the guards and families, who bought talismans. The Talisman Master Association must arrange enough negotiation space for these guests.

Going up to the second floor, there were some talisman masters walking around, and Chen Qing and Lu Chengpeng chose an empty box.

After entering, the two took their seats. Lu Chengpeng spoke first, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, although the Talisman Master Association has many resources, they all require contributions to redeem them, so there are some restrictions. However, I have some channels that can allow you to access high-level resources. I wonder what you think."

Huh? This old man is actually introducing him to channels. Interesting.

Chen Qing thought for a moment and replied, "I wonder if you're talking about channels like exchange fairs."

"That's right." Lu Chengpeng raised the corner of his mouth.

He felt that a casual cultivator like Chen Qing who had no channels would definitely agree. After all, it was difficult for a casual cultivator to practice, and even if he joined the Talisman Master Association, he would still have limitations.

"I don't know what the conditions are."

Chen Qing frowned.

"As for the conditions, you must conceal your identity, and you can only come with your membership certificate on the third day of each month."

Lu Chengpeng took out a token from his storage bag, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of Chen Qing.

Chen Qing glanced at the token, then looked at Cheng Lupeng and said, "What are your conditions, fellow Daoist?"

Lu Chengpeng smiled and really took the bait.

"Three hundred spirit stones, that's not expensive, isn't it, Fellow Daoist Jiang? There are even second-level materials at the exchange fair. As long as you can spare the spirit stones, even Foundation Establishment Pills are available."

"Brother Daoist Lu, take this seriously!"

As expected, as Lu Chengpeng expected, when Chen Qing heard that there were Foundation Establishment Pills at the exchange meeting, he immediately became excited, which made Lu Chengpeng feel quite amused.

Would you be even more surprised if you knew that the exchange was used by Liu Yanghe to fish?

"Of course it's true. The token has the location of the exchange meeting on it. You can go there tomorrow and see if what I said is true or not."

"In that case, I would like to thank you first."

Chen Qing pretended to think carefully for a while, then took out three bags of spirit stones from the storage bag, pushed them in front of Lu Chengpeng, and then put the token into the storage bag.

Lu Chengpeng accepted the spirit stone and said with a smile, "There's no need to be so kind, fellow Daoist. After all, you're an elder in the guild, and you'll definitely receive the benefits you deserve."

"I will leave first."

After saying this, he stood up and prepared to leave. When he reached the door, he stopped and said something incoherent.

"Given Fellow Daoist Jiang's attainments in talismans, it would be a bit of a waste of talent for him to join the Talisman Master Association."

Then Lu Chengpeng left the room.
