My Optimized Immortal Life

The next day, Chen Qing sat on a stone chair, looking at a cup of tea in his hand and a jade slip placed on the stone table.

That is the jade slip of the Qi-gazing technique.

Ever since he got it from Maple Valley, he has been taking time to comprehend it, but his comprehension is indeed not enough. If Chen Qing uses his innate ability, the amount of cultivation consumed will probably exceed his expectations, so he has been delaying it until now.

And now, Chen Qing felt that he should have mastered the art of qi-gazing.

This was not a whim, but because after breaking through to the seventh level of Qi Refining, he found that the spirit gathering effect of the Thick Earth Spirit Array was quite weak for him.

When entering the late stage of Qi Refining, a large circulation of meridians is formed in the cultivator's body. Both the amount and speed of absorbing spiritual energy are far superior to those in the middle stage of Qi Refining. The Thick Earth Spirit Array, which could only barely maintain the concentration of spiritual energy required for practice, is naturally no longer useful now.

Due to the insufficient concentration of spiritual energy, Chen Qing's cultivation speed will naturally decrease, and there are not many pills in his storage bag that can be used for cultivation.

This also means that his future cultivation speed will be greatly reduced.

If he wanted to reach perfection in Qi Refining before the age of forty, he certainly could not stay in Ziyun Mountain, a place lacking in spiritual energy.

But if it is removed, then the problem arises again.

Where should he find a spiritual place that can support him and Xu Lingxin's cultivation?

Enter the independent cultivator market in the world of immortal cultivation again?

Now the evil and righteous paths are in a stalemate, and the searches of the cultivators coming and going in the market of independent cultivators are much more intense than before. With Chen Qing's wealth and background, if he really lets the law enforcement cultivators search, he will probably be framed as an evil cultivator, and then be directly detained and his storage bag confiscated.

Even if this doesn't happen, there is still a risk of being hit by the possible demonic monks.

When he thought of this, Zuo Ze's face seemed to appear in front of Chen Qing again, which made him stunned, and then he gave up the idea of ​​going to the market.

So, all he can rely on now is this qi-reading technique.

My current cultivation level is only at the seventh level of Qi Refining. If I use my innate ability to optimize the Qi-Gazing Technique immediately, I am afraid there is a high possibility that I will fall to the sixth level of Qi Refining. Although this is good for my recultivation, it will also greatly slow down the speed of my cultivation progress.

Chen Qing had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

Now the concentration of spiritual energy in Ziyun Mountain is not enough to support his cultivation in the late stage of Qi Refining, not to mention that Xu Lingxin is about to become a late stage cultivator. By then, the speed of cultivation of the two late stage cultivators here will only be slower. If they do not take the elixir, they will probably be as slow as a turtle.

However, if one expends his cultivation to learn the art of seeing qi, he can use it to find places in Luo Yun's mansion where the concentration of spiritual energy is sufficient.

After all, the grade of this Qi-gazing technique is even higher than the Earth-Fire Transformation Technique deduced by Chen Qing himself. With such a high grade as a backup, even if he cannot find a place with a spiritual eye as described above, he can still find a place with a concentration of spiritual energy that is high enough to support him and Xu Lingxin's practice.

With this thought in mind, Chen Qing drank the tea in the cup in one gulp.

Immediately he sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, countless words appeared, constituting the many contents recorded in the jade slip of the Qi-gazing Technique.

Immediately afterwards, these countless words suddenly turned into a surging torrent and disappeared into the depths of the sea of ​​consciousness.

And in the dantian, the magic power that was about to overflow suddenly began to dissipate.

In Chen Qing's spiritual consciousness, he could only feel that part of the disappeared magic power seemed to flow into the sea of ​​consciousness, but then disappeared in an instant.

This is obviously different from the common sense in the world of immortal cultivation that Chen Qing knows.

In the world of immortal cultivation, it has always been believed that the sea of ​​consciousness and the dantian are two separate parts. The sea of ​​consciousness is the root of spiritual awareness, while the dantian is the foundation of magic power.

The two are one a god and the other a law, they are unrelated to each other. I have never heard that the magic power of a cultivator can enter the sea of ​​consciousness.

But Chen Qing's current situation is somewhat contrary to common sense. In his spiritual consciousness, the magic power in his dantian goes straight up and disappears without a trace when it reaches the edge of consciousness.

However, it may also be that his spiritual awareness is too weak and he cannot see the true destination of the magic power after using his innate ability.

Chen Qing sighed inwardly. No matter how this innate ability worked, at least it was his biggest trump card at the moment.

If he wants to reach the Nascent Soul level, or even higher, he must rely on this innate ability, as for exploring the details of this innate ability.

That is a long and arduous task.

……

Just as Chen Qing was thinking, a strange movement suddenly came from the depths of his sea of ​​consciousness.

It was as if some shackles were opened while Chen Qing was stunned.

Countless golden words gushed out from the depths of the sea of ​​consciousness.

Just like a golden spring emerging from the ground, at the same time, countless indescribable insights suddenly rose from Chen Qing's heart.

Everything about the art of qi-gazing became clear in Chen Qing's mind one by one, causing him to feel a shock in his mind and a sudden enlightenment.

The so-called looking at the qi.

This is to explore the root of Qi. What is the root? It is the source of the world and the foundation of the world.

…………

Qi is divided into three types: clear, turbid, and spiritual. The spiritual is the spiritual energy, which is the basis for the harmony of clear and turbid. Therefore, if you want to find the spiritual, you should observe the changes in clear and turbid.

……

The clear is above, and the turbid is below.

If you observe the spirit with clarity, you will surely obtain divine consciousness. If you observe the spirit with turbidity, you will be following the cause of the earth and observing the result of the situation.

……

Chen Qing didn't know how long it took him to gain this understanding. He only knew that when he woke up again, Xu Lingxin had already come out of seclusion and was sitting next to him.

"Chen Lang, you've been sitting cross-legged for a full five hours this time. If I hadn't been able to sense your incredibly steady magical energy, I would have thought you'd gone possessed and died."

Xu Lingxin's eyes were filled with worry, but turned into joy after Chen Qing opened his eyes. It's not like she had never seen people in seclusion for a long time, but those were cultivators who had reached the Perfect Qi Refining Stage or even the Foundation Establishment Stage. Chen Qing was only at the Seventh Stage of Qi Refining, yet he could sit cross-legged for five hours. If he wasn't possessed, then he must have had some sudden realization.

After listening to what Xu Lingxin said, Chen Qing smiled bitterly.

"This time it was an accident, it won't happen again next time."

"If you behave like this again, Chen Lang, I will have to consider switching to a foundation-building technique."

Xu Lingxin chuckled, put down the tea in her hand, and turned to leave.

Chen Qing couldn't help but shook his head as he looked at Xu Lingxin's departing back.

Then he withdrew the thought and focused his attention on the insights he had gained from the art of qigong.

This Qi-gazing technique, which is of a higher grade than the Earth Fire Transformation Technique, is indeed extraordinary. After optimizing its content with his innate ability, Chen Qing realized that what he was observing was not just spiritual energy, but all the energy between heaven and earth.

Clear, turbid, and spiritual.

The art of qi-watching divides the qi of heaven and earth into these three: Ling is the spiritual qi, while Qing Qi refers to other purer essences between heaven and earth, such as clouds and qi.

Turbid air refers to the air in the earth veins, yin energy, etc.

According to the art of looking at qi, there are only two ways to find a place full of spiritual energy.

Observe the clear and seek the turbid.

The mystery behind this cannot be told to outsiders.

At the same time, this also opened the door to a new world for Chen Qing. He had a premonition that what he gained from this art of qi-gazing would become one of his foundations second only to his natural abilities in the future.
