My Optimized Immortal Life

The next day.

Chen Qing rarely woke up until noon, and Xu Lingxin's arms were around his shoulders.

Gently removing his arm, Chen Qing walked down from the bed. As soon as his feet touched the ground, he felt weak.

He rubbed his waist helplessly, secretly telling himself that he must be restrained next time, otherwise he might not be able to resist.

At this moment, he undoubtedly regretted letting Xu Lingxin practice the body-building exercises.

After taking a break for half an hour and feeling recovered, Chen Qing boarded the Qingye Boat and went to Qingsong Temple for a gathering as agreed with Qingsong Sanren.

During this year, Chen Qing also went to Qingsong Sanren several times and revealed that he had the skills to refine weapons.

For independent cultivators, a cultivator who possesses the four arts of cultivation is obviously a person worth winning over.

Thanks to this, Qingsong Sanren also promised to take Chen Qing to Luo Yun Mansion, where the independent cultivators gathered.

This is good news for Chen Qing during the period of demonic invasion.

Although wandering cultivators like Qingsong Sanren live in seclusion in the mortal world, they still have to meet the various needs of cultivators. Therefore, many wandering cultivators decided to hold an annual exchange meeting.

Of course, due to the invasion of the demonic sect, even the independent cultivators began to feel nervous. The exchange fair, which was one of the few opportunities for independent cultivators to purchase resources, was changed from once a year to once every three months.

Although Chen Qing brought a large number of pills from Qiuye Island, these pills were definitely not enough without knowing when the wave of demonic invasion would end. Therefore, Chen Qing had to find some more ways to obtain pills.

The gathering of independent cultivators was one of the ways Chen Qing was looking for to obtain elixirs.

With his own refining skills, it would certainly not be a problem to exchange them for some pills. As for refining the pills himself, although he has the innate ability to cheat, he still needs to buy the materials needed for refining the pills himself or look for them in the deep mountains and forests. If he has the time, wouldn't it be better to use it to practice?

This is the reason why Chen Qing has never been involved in alchemy.

After arriving at Qingsong Temple, Chen Qing saw Qingsong Sanren who had been waiting in the square, and next to him was an old man in white.

Ok?

Chen Qing couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

With the help of the Qi-gazing technique, Chen Qing could easily see the spiritual energy fluctuations hidden in the old man's body, which actually surprised him a little.

The eighth level of Qi Refining.

With this level of cultivation, even if there is no hope for further cultivation, one can be well treated in any market or foundation-building sect. But now, in this so-called Luo Yun Mansion Free Cultivator Exchange Meeting, people even came all the way to personally greet him, an unknown free cultivator. It seems that this Luo Yun Mansion is not simple.

Chen Qing withdrew his gaze and secretly activated his skills to reduce the fluctuation of his cultivation level from the sixth level of Qi Refining to the fourth level. Then he controlled the Qingye magic weapon to slowly fall from the air.

"Fellow Daoist Xuanqing, this Senior Changhong is one of the three seniors hosting the exchange meeting. He came here specifically to talk to you."

Seeing Chen Qing fall, Qingsong Sanren came to his side and said this. His words and attitude were completely different from before and became quite respectful.

Chen Qing didn't know why this Taoist Changhong came, but looking at the look of Sanren Qingsong, he could guess a little bit that it was nothing more than trying to win him over and make promises.

Of course, in order to avoid bad situations, Chen Qing still has to be cautious.

After exchanging a few greetings with Qingsong Sanren, Chen Qing turned to look at the old man in white and bowed.

"Meet Senior Changhong."

"No need, no need." Changhong smiled when he saw Chen Qing being so respectful, and then continued.

"Fellow Daoist Xuanqing has been in Luo Yun Mansion for a year now. What do you think of this place?"

Ok?

Chen Qing pondered for a moment, then spoke.

"In my humble opinion, Luo Yun Mansion is plagued by internal and external troubles. It is not a good place to be."

"Oh? Could you explain what internal and external troubles are?"

Changhong still had a smiling face, but the questions he asked made it difficult for Chen Qing to answer.

The so-called internal troubles are naturally the low spiritual energy in Luo Yun Mansion, the absence of any spiritual veins, and it is not suitable for cultivators to practice at all.

As for external threats, they would definitely be the invasion of demons, a major event that only happens once in a few hundred years.

As mentioned before, Luo Yun Mansion is right behind the defense line. If the defense line is broken, the first place to be invaded will definitely be Luo Yun Mansion. Even if the spiritual energy here is low, it will not affect the demon cultivators much.

But everyone should know this kind of thing, but this Taoist Changhong still wants to ask Chen Qing about it. Does he think he is a fool?

Thinking about this, Chen Qing was not prepared to answer Changhong's question, and Changhong seemed to have anticipated it and took the initiative to change the subject.

"Alright, since Fellow Daoist Xuanqing is here, let's get ready to go. The location of this exchange meeting is the same as in previous years, in Fog Valley."

After he finished speaking, Changhong waved his hand and took out a spirit boat from his storage bag, hanging in the air.

Chen Qing took a closer look and found that this spirit boat was of the same grade as his flying boat, both were mid-grade magical weapons.

This surprised him. He didn't expect that Changhong was so wealthy.

Changhong looked at Chen Qing's surprised eyes and smiled as he introduced the origin of the flying boat to Chen Qing.

"This is the Wind Chaser Boat, which I found in an ancient cultivator's cave when I was young. It is one of my few treasures."

"Senior, you are truly blessed. If a flying magical instrument like this appeared at an auction, it would probably fetch a stratospheric price."

Chen Qing gave a compliment at the right time.

"I don't dare to claim good luck. If I were truly blessed with great luck, how could I be stuck in my current state?"

Changhong smiled and shook his head, then asked Chen Qing and Qingsong Sanren to board the wind-chasing boat.

"I will lead the way this time, and next time, Fellow Daoist Xuanqing can go on his own."

"As it should be."

The three of them boarded the wind-chasing boat, and Changhong immediately made a spell to control the flying boat to sail away.

Looking at the sea of ​​clouds around him, Chen Qing's expression was calm.

Chen Qing was familiar with the place called Fog Valley. It was a cemetery that was shrouded in fog all year round. Mortals rarely set foot there, so it was quite appropriate for the local cultivators to use it as a venue for exchange meetings.

When going to the exchange meeting this time, Chen Qing's first purpose was to see the number of independent cultivators in Luo Yun Mansion and their level of cultivation, so as to decide how much he should reveal.

After all, Chen Qing has decided to use this exchange meeting as a way to exchange elixirs and other immortal cultivation resources, and even exchange information in the future, so appropriately exposing some of his own things will help his status and connections in the entire exchange meeting.

After all, whether it is magic tools or talismans, these are the things that independent cultivators are most in need of. At this critical juncture of the invasion of the demonic sect, Chen Qing, who masters the art of refining tools and making talismans, does not have to worry about not being able to exchange for what he needs.
