My Optimized Immortal Life

When a cultivator reaches the foundation-building stage, his life level has undergone a phased improvement. The most intuitive manifestation is that the foundation-building cultivator already has a lifespan of two hundred years. For a cultivator of this level, even if the path to immortality is smooth, the glory and wealth of the mortal world should not be able to attract them. There must be some hidden story behind this.

Chen Qing was deep in thought. If Qingsong Sanren hadn't said it, he would still be somewhat curious about the capital of Song State and even wanted to go there. Now, after hearing what Qingsong Sanren said, he wanted to go even more.

But this has to wait until he is promoted to the Foundation Establishment stage, otherwise he would not dare to face the three Foundation Establishment stage people head-on.

"Besides that, there are dozens of Qi-refining cultivators in the Song Dynasty royal family. Therefore, independent cultivators like us cannot act recklessly here."

Qingsong Sanren continued.

"Fellow Daoist Qingsong, why are there so many cultivators in the mortal royal family?"

Chen Qing asked tentatively.

Qingsong Sanren seemed to know that Chen Qing would ask this, and just smiled and shook his head.

"I don't know the inside story of this matter, but the Tianyuan Sect has no objection to it, so fellow Daoist, please don't worry about it."

I don't believe you at all. You old silver coin must know something, but if you don't want to tell me, then forget it.

Since Qingsong Sanren refused to say, Chen Qing was not going to ask any further questions. He changed the subject and talked to Qingsong Sanren about cultivation issues. Seeing that Chen Qing no longer asked questions, Qingsong Sanren was happy to talk about these things with Chen Qing. The only ones who felt aggrieved were the disciples standing behind Qingsong Sanren. At first, they all thought that Chen Qing was going to have a conflict with Qingsong Sanren, and now the two of them were actually chatting?

This was something they had not expected. Even Mu Yu was confused. He only vaguely realized that his master seemed to have reached a reconciliation with Chen Qing... right?

……

"The key to Qi Refining cultivation lies in the purity and reserves of the mana within your Dantian. This determines your success rate in breaking through the bottleneck of Foundation Establishment. I bought this from a Qi Refining cultivator who had already broken through the bottleneck of Foundation Establishment."

Qingsong Sanren said this with an expression on his face that said, "Boy, you've made a fortune."

Chen Qing pretended to be extremely surprised so that some old guys could satisfy his tiny vanity.

Chen Qing actually already knew what Qingsong Sanren was talking about.

In the Talisman Master Association on Qiuye Island, he had already understood the various key points of foundation building from many foundation building methods, and in the Earth Fire Transformation Technique obtained after optimizing his innate abilities, he summarized the key points into three.

The first is what Qingsong Sanren mentioned: the purity of mana and the reserves in Dantian.

When building the foundation, the first thing to undergo a qualitative change is the cultivator's mana. The gaseous mana during Qi refining is continuously compressed until it reaches a limit, and then the quantitative change triggers a qualitative change, turning it into liquid foundation-level mana. In this process, the reserves in the dantian determine how many drops of liquid mana the cultivator can produce for the first time. Only with enough liquid mana can the cultivator use it as fuel to allow the physical body to undergo a new transformation, thereby entering a higher level of life.

The purity of mana determines the difficulty of liquefying mana.

The spiritual energy from the outside world has been refined once when it was absorbed by the cultivator and turned into magic power. If the cultivator wants to build a foundation, he must refine this already refined magic power again to make it more condensed, just like casting. The fewer impurities in the molten iron, the better the cast iron ingot will be.

After obtaining a sufficient amount of liquid mana, the cultivator needs to integrate this part of mana into the physical body to promote the qualitative change of the physical body. Only a stronger physical body can accommodate further liquid mana and allow it to flow through the meridians.

During this process, many cultivators failed to break through because their physical bodies were not strong enough. Before the liquid mana could drive the qualitative change of their physical bodies, their dantian could not accommodate the extremely condensed liquid mana, which led to failure. This is the first hurdle most cultivators encounter when trying to build their foundation. Only a strong enough physical body can barely accommodate the mana after the qualitative change, so as to prolong the time of the physical body's qualitative change. This is why Chen Qing must practice body refining techniques.

And after this, there is the most dangerous level, the transformation of spiritual consciousness.

As we all know, cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage can only observe their own spiritual consciousness, while cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage have already transformed their spiritual consciousness into divine consciousness that can penetrate the body. The key lies in the last step when breaking through the Foundation Establishment Stage.

After the transformation of magic power and physical body, the cultivator has actually stepped into the threshold of transformation of life level. The only thing left is the final step, which is the transformation of spiritual consciousness into divine consciousness.

Just like the transformation of the physical body, the transformation of the spiritual consciousness also relies on liquid magic power. Only the liquid magic power that has been condensed to the extreme can nourish the spiritual consciousness of the cultivator and achieve transformation.

This step is also the most dangerous. If one is not careful, the cultivator will face the end of having his spiritual consciousness destroyed. This is even more so in the ancient cultivation era. All cultivators who have completed Qi training will be extremely cautious when breaking through the foundation, and will only dare to take this step after being fully prepared.

This situation did not change until the Foundation Establishment Pill came into being.

The Foundation Establishment Pill is a pill made from three second-level spiritual medicines and dozens of first-level spiritual medicines. Its medicinal effect is extremely strong and can provide assistance in the three aspects of magic power, physical body, and spiritual consciousness when the cultivator breaks through the foundation establishment level. The most crucial point is that even if the cultivator fails to break through the level, the Foundation Establishment Pill can save the cultivator's life and prevent him from dying.

Therefore, a foundation-building pill is a priceless treasure for cultivators who have achieved perfection in Qi training.

If possible, Chen Qing estimated that he would have to find a way to get a foundation-building pill. After all, although he was confident that he could break into the foundation-building stage, he still had to be prepared for the worst. After all, no one could predict luck.

After chatting like this, several hours passed in a flash. Qingsong Sanren and Chen Qing felt that they had gained a lot, and Mu Yu and the others also had a sense of sudden enlightenment. After all, although Qingsong Sanren taught them very well in normal times, there were always shortcomings. Chen Qing's joining can be said to have opened up a new world of cultivation for them. This also made them suddenly realize that they had misunderstood Chen Qing, and shame appeared on their faces.

"I didn't expect that Daoist Qingsong has such a deep understanding of the cultivation of the early stages of Qi Refining. I have benefited a lot from it."

"Fellow Daoist Xuanqing also has quite some insights into cultivation, which has helped me gain a lot today."

The two of them praised each other for a while, and then Chen Qing stood up, bowed and said with a smile.

"That's all for today. Next time, I'll definitely have a good discussion with you."

"It's easy to talk about."

Qingsong Sanren also smiled and sent Chen Qing out of the temple, watching him ride on Qingye and disappear before his eyes.

Behind him, Mu Yu and others also walked out of the main hall and came behind him.

"Master, what on earth is this person..."

Before Mu Yu could finish his words, Qingsong Sanren turned around and interrupted him.

"Don't worry about his origins. As long as he has no hostility towards us, that's enough."

Mu Yu nodded, but couldn't fully understand.

Qingsong Sanren naturally knew what his eldest disciple was thinking, but now that the demonic sect was invading, he would try his best to avoid conflict with other cultivators, all for the sake of protecting himself.
