My Optimized Immortal Life

one year later.

Ziyun Mountain.

At this time, Chen Qing was sitting cross-legged on a piece of open space he had cleared on the top of the mountain, facing the morning sun and watching the sunrise.

At this time, his cultivation had already returned to the sixth level of Qi Refining, and because of multiple re-cultivation sessions, the original seventh-level bottleneck seemed much weaker to him than that of ordinary cultivators. This meant that the difficulty of breaking through the seventh-level bottleneck would be lower than breaking through the fourth level before.

This may be the only good news he has received in Ziyun Mountain, a place with low concentration of spiritual energy.

He expected that one year should be enough for him to try to break through the bottleneck of the seventh level, but the concentration of spiritual energy in Ziyun Mountain was still lower than he expected.

After re-cultivating to the sixth level of Qi Refining, Chen Qing's cultivation progress reached its lowest point.

The daily increase in his cultivation level was less than one percent if converted into a percentage. It took him ten days to feel a slight increase in his cultivation level. This was the result of him taking a Ninghua Pill every day.

In fact, Chen Qing's cultivation speed is not slow, but the gap is too big compared with Xu Lingxin, who has earth-grade spiritual roots.

Also taking one Ninghua Pill every day, Xu Lingxin had reached the sixth level of Qi Refining three months ago. If she had not listened to Chen Qing's advice and started practicing body refining exercises, she would have probably broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refining by now.

No longer thinking about the difference in cultivation, Chen Qing came back to his senses and looked towards the horizon.

On the horizon that was beyond the reach of the naked eye, thousands of rays of light were scattered, and the orange-red light bands were pulled into light yellow, spreading along with the dazzling sun, gradually occupying the entire sky.

So vast, huge, and eternal.

Chen Qing stretched out his hand, slowly caught the outline of the sun in his hand, and then let go.

Then he got up and left the place and returned to the cave.

A year passed, and Chen Qing's original cave, which was extremely simply decorated and looked like the residence of primitive people, had been renovated by Xu Lingxin.

When Xu Lingxin proposed to decorate the cave, Chen Qing was a little surprised, but after seeing the long-accumulated resentment in her eyes, he had to agree.

In this regard, Chen Qing can only say that after having a woman, he even loses the authority to manage the room. Our male compatriots are really miserable.

However, after Xu Lingxin finished arranging the cave, Chen Qing had to take back his words.

At this moment, in the cave, clear water from somewhere was surrounding the edge, strange rocks and exotic flowers were scattered in the four corners, and the cave was full of colors, which made people feel happy. In the center of the cave, there was a colorful curtain bought by Xu Lingxin from the mortal world, covering the big bed. At the corner of the bed, there was an incense burner standing, and green smoke floated out of it. It was much better than Chen Qing's empty cave with only a big bed.

At this time, Xu Lingxin was sitting by the spring, with her feet dipped in the water, looking light-hearted.

Seeing this, Chen Qing couldn't help but smile. He didn't disturb her, but sat down in another corner and began to practice.

It uses the Earth Fire Transformation Technique originally obtained from the Wanfa Pavilion as the main body of the technique. After retaining the method of transformation and purification of fire magic power, it has added the concepts of many other techniques. Now, in addition to being able to support practitioners to complete the foundation building, the grade of the Earth Fire Transformation Technique is almost the same as those of the sect-founding techniques of the Jindan sect and even the Yuanying sect.

Therefore, Chen Qing absorbed spiritual energy extremely quickly during his practice. Although it was still not as fast as a person with earth-grade spiritual roots, it saved him a lot of time. Otherwise, with his qualifications of middle-grade fire spiritual roots, he would not be able to guarantee a breakthrough to the perfection of Qi Refining before the age of forty.

The cultivation of immortal cultivators is a long process, and the higher the realm, the longer it takes. For example, Chen Qing has reached the sixth level of Qi Refining. If he wants to cultivate to the perfect realm, it will take at least three years. However, he takes elixirs every day, and the skills he practices are also top-notch. His cultivation speed also exceeds that of ordinary cultivators. Even so, he is still a long way from the perfection of the sixth level.

Spiritual energy was drawn in from all around, surrounding Chen Qing. He continuously absorbed it and transformed it into pure magic power in his dantian. In this process, Chen Qing's spiritual consciousness was also being subtly transformed and enhanced.

Before this, his spiritual awareness had already surpassed that of ordinary cultivators, so Chen Qing was still confident about breaking through the spiritual awareness barrier when building the foundation.

While practicing, the passage of time was difficult to perceive. The feeling of being immersed in spiritual energy all over the body was too wonderful. When Chen Qing opened his eyes again and stopped practicing, he found that a beautiful figure was sitting next to him.

Chen Qing turned around and saw Xu Lingxin playing with a flower ball she had bought from the mortal world. There was a small bell inside, which made a tinkling sound when shaken, which Xu Lingxin loved very much.

Looking at Xu Lingxin's delicate profile, Chen Qing pondered for a long time, and finally sighed softly, as if he had let go of something.

He took out a token from the storage bag and then crushed it with force.

The stone chips fell from Chen Qing's hands, and the tiny sound startled Xu Lingxin who was playing with a bouquet nearby. She suddenly turned around, looked at Chen Qing, and caught a glimpse of the token that had been crushed into pieces.

Suddenly I was stunned.

Then, a line of tears slid down his face.

Chen Qing didn't say much, but just hugged her gently, feeling her trembling and choking in his arms, venting the deep-buried grievances in his heart.

After Xu Lingxin finally recovered from the sudden surprise, Chen Qing spoke.

"Don't worry, Lingxin, from now on, I'll take care of everything."

Although Chen Qing's voice was so light, to Xu Lingxin's ears, it seemed like the heaviest promise in the world.

Ever since she chose to give part of her soul to Chen Qing in order to escape from the vortex of the Talisman Master Association, she has been in a state of panic.

It was not out of distrust of Chen Qing, but she was worried that she would be abandoned. As long as her soul restriction was still in Chen Qing's hands, it meant that Chen Qing had never regarded her as a Taoist partner he could trust. But now, after a year, Chen Qing finally accepted her.

In this way, he was freed from his original wandering alone. The look his father gave him and the words he said to him in the sect at that time finally came to an end.

"Xin'er, don't think about revenge, just be happy..."

In this way, Xu Lingxin finally walked out of the nightmare of the past and was no longer immersed in the hatred of the past. Instead, she had new things to work hard for and entrust her efforts to.

After Xu Lingxin calmed down, Chen Qing picked her up and walked towards the carefully decorated bed amid her angry words and surprised screams.

Thus, there was no conversation for a whole day and night.
