My Optimized Immortal Life

Ziyun Mountain is actually a mountain range covering an area of ​​several miles. The highest peak is called Ziyun Mountain by the villagers living in the nearby villages because of the strange phenomenon of purple clouds that can be seen there.

Tall trees are spread all over the mountain range, full of greenery. The birds and insects in the forest never stop singing, making it seem full of vitality.

Above the clouds, a small green boat is approaching the main peak of the beautiful Ziyun Mountain.

Chen Qing stood at the bow of the boat, his eyes shining with intelligence. It was obvious that he had activated the divine eye technique and was observing the entire Ziyun Mountain.

The spiritual energy is very weak. Even if a spirit gathering array is used, it can only barely maintain the practice.

With the help of the Sky Eye Technique, the entire Ziyun Mountain was covered with a faint airflow in Chen Qing's eyes. Those were the spiritual energy scattered here, which was pitifully small and not enough for a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi Refining like Chen Qing to practice.

However, Chen Qing did not have high expectations for the environment here at the beginning. At most, this place could only be regarded as a refuge for the period of time. Once Chen Qing's cultivation was fully recovered, he could consider moving to another place.

Xu Lingxin was also standing beside Chen Qing at this time, looking at the green mountains and waters under the boat, and her thoughts were similar to Chen Qing's.

Not long after, Qingye's boat arrived at the top of Ziyun Mountain. It was a rather spacious open space, which could be considered a suitable place for seclusion.

After landing from the Qingye boat, Chen Qing put the magic weapon back into the storage bag, then took out several earth-solidifying talismans and several magic weapons, preparing to set up the cave.

Xu Lingxin counted the supplies she brought, most of which were pills, as well as some necessary items for decorating the cave.

After more than half an hour, Chen Qing finally opened up a cave in the mountain that could accommodate two people. Then he took out several formation flags and formation plates from the storage bag, arranged them in appropriate positions, and then made a magic spell.

A khaki light curtain rose up here, and Chen Qing breathed a sigh of relief only after the entire light curtain completely enveloped the cave.

After the Thick Earth Spiritual Array was set up, this place could barely be considered a cave dwelling for immortal cultivators.

After the formation was set up, Xu Lingxin walked into the cave. Chen Qing only opened up the cave, and Xu Lingxin still had to arrange everything in the cave, otherwise it would be uninhabitable.

After everything was done, Chen Qing and Xu Lingxin sat down in the cave. Looking at the cave that they had opened up together, they couldn't help but smile.

"Lingxin, we'll have to live here for at least the next three years."

Chen Qing put his arm around Xu Lingxin's slender waist and spoke.

Xu Lingxin leaned her head on Chen Qing's shoulder and did not answer.

Chen Qing didn't care either. He just took out the second-level formation inheritance he had obtained from Xu Lingxin from his storage bag.

During that period of time, he was busy with reconstruction and running away, so Chen Qing could only spare some time to look at this inheritance and could not devote himself to it. Now that the cave has been arranged, he can finally comprehend this second-level formation inheritance.

Although formations require a gradual process, without the first-level formation inheritance as a foundation, it is extremely difficult to understand and comprehend the second-level inheritance. However, there are many things that can be applied to other areas in the four arts of cultivating immortals. Chen Qing is already a top-grade talisman master, and what he knows allows him to barely understand some of it, but not much.

However, while Chen Qing was comprehending the formation, someone in his arms felt quite resentful.

"Master, you must be extremely tired after piloting the Spirit Boat for the past month. Let Lingxin help you relax for a while."

Although Xu Lingxin said this, her body was not obedient and she directly entangled Chen Qing.

Feeling the softness in his arms, Chen Qing frowned slightly, then relaxed his brows. He put down the jade slip that recorded the second-level skills, picked up the little goblin Xu Lingxin, and walked into the secret room.

But nothing good happened next. Chen Qing smiled and threw Xu Lingxin onto a big bed.

"I'm really tired, so Lingxin, you should rest first. I'll come back to teach you a lesson tonight."

After saying that, Chen Qing turned and left the secret room, leaving Xu Lingxin lying on the bed with a resentful look in her eyes.

This is not the first time that Xu Lingxin can't figure out what's going on with this guy Chen Qing.

You say this guy is lustful, she is so devoted to him, but he doesn't do anything. If you say he is not lustful, he can torture her half to death at night.

Ugh.

Life is not easy, Lingxin sighed.

After returning to the cave, Chen Qing picked up the jade slip again and began to comprehend the formation inheritance contained in it.

He has now settled down in Ziyun Mountain. Although he has avoided the possible invasion of demonic cultivators, he has also faced the problem of scarce spiritual energy.

Although there is only a small primary spiritual vein on Qiuye Island, the spiritual energy concentration of the entire island is seven or eight times higher than that of Ziyun Mountain.

Even though Chen Qing has this set of thick earth spiritual formation, which can play a role in gathering spiritual energy, the concentration of spiritual energy in the cave is still lower than that in Liuguang Pavilion.

This will slow down his cultivation speed, and the speed of returning to the sixth level of Qi Refining will probably be half as slow. There are only two solutions to this problem.

Find a place with a higher concentration of spiritual energy than this place, but these places are basically occupied by major sects or independent cultivators, so they can basically be abandoned, unless Chen Qing spends more time to optimize the Qi-gazing technique and uses it to find a spiritual eye to solve the problem.

However, not to mention the amount of cultivation required to optimize the Qi-gazing technique, even if Chen Qing learned the Qi-gazing technique, he would still have to spend time looking for the spiritual eye, and this process might take an unknown amount of time.

Therefore, Chen Qing planned to take the second path, first comprehending the inheritance of the formation, to see if he could modify the function of the Thick Earth Spirit Formation to gather spiritual energy, and strengthen the ability of the Thick Earth Spirit Formation to gather spiritual energy.

Although it is difficult to comprehend the inheritance of the formation, Chen Qing can completely cheat with his innate ability, so this is equivalent to choosing between the art of seeing qi and the inheritance of the formation. Needless to say, Chen Qing will definitely choose the inheritance of the formation first.

Although the Qi-gazing technique has the ability to detect spiritual eyes, Chen Qing has just settled down and there is no need to move again in the short term. It is better to learn the formation and strengthen the thick earth spiritual formation. Although this formation is already a top-grade spiritual formation, there is definitely room for improvement, and Chen Qing also has to rely on this formation to block the perception of cultivators who may pass by Ziyun Mountain.

Seeing this, Chen Qing couldn't help but sigh. He thought that the fifth level of Qi Refining that he had spent two months to cultivate would be lost again.

But this is all for better cultivation, it’s worth it!

After hypnotizing himself, Chen Qing continued to take the formation contents recorded in the jade slip into his mind, and gave it the most basic understanding and comprehension.

With his attainments in the art of talismans, he was able to roughly understand some of the contents, which would reduce the amount of cultivation he would lose later. Every bit saved was a bit saved, after all, his cultivation was really not that much.

In this way, Chen Qing put down the jade slip only after the Golden Crow returned to its nest.

After rubbing his brows vigorously to slightly relieve the fatigue of memorizing a second-level inheritance, Chen Qing controlled the formation to cover himself to prevent Xu Lingxin from noticing anything unusual, and then closed his eyes.

It is impossible to make a living by working hard, and one can only rely on natural ability to barely make a living.

After using his innate ability, the magical aura around Chen Qing began to fluctuate again, and the aura continued to weaken. If Xu Lingxin was nearby, she would definitely suspect that Chen Qing had practiced some strange secret method.

After a moment, Chen Qing opened his eyes and patted his head which was swollen and painful after receiving the optimized formation knowledge. His spiritual consciousness surged to his Dantian Qi Sea, and then he let out a bitter smile.

"Sure enough, I'm back to the fourth level of Qi Refining..."
