My Optimized Immortal Life

After returning to Ziyun Mountain, Chen Qing went straight into the formation.

But there was no one in the cave. Looking around, Chen Qing saw the closed door of the retreat room and couldn't help but shake his head.

To be honest, Xu Lingxin's enthusiasm for cultivation is even more positive than his. In the past half month, because he had to go out to explore the direction of the earth veins, Chen Qing actually only had one hour of cultivation time every day. After Chen Qing left the cave, Xu Lingxin basically stayed in the retreat room to practice hard, and it was precisely for this reason.

Now Xu Lingxin's cultivation has surpassed him and reached the seventh level of Qi Refining, while he has returned to the fifth level of Qi Refining due to his deduction of the Qi-Gazing Technique. Although he has been practicing continuously in the past half month, due to the reduction in practice time, even if he can return to the sixth and seventh levels of Qi Refining by accumulating enough mana, it is difficult to accumulate so much mana in such a short time.

Standing in the cave, Chen Qing slightly practiced his skills and could feel the spiritual energy in the cave quickly gathering around him, and the concentration of spiritual energy in the entire cave actually decreased as a result.

"Sure enough, the concentration of spiritual energy in Ziyun Mountain is still a bit low for a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining who has already cultivated a large circulation of meridians in his body."

"Although the Thick Earth Spiritual Formation can gather spiritual energy, even if all the spiritual energy from the entire Purple Cloud Mountain is gathered here, I'm afraid it won't be able to meet the gradually increasing demand for cultivation."

Chen Qing knew very well that the seventh level of Qi Refining was just the beginning of the late stage of Qi Refining, and the spiritual energy required was relatively small. When he broke through to the eighth, ninth, or even tenth level of Qi Refining, the spiritual energy required would be even greater. Now the spiritual energy of Ziyun Mountain could no longer supply him and Xu Lingxin's cultivation, so it was time to change places.

As for where to move to, Chen Qing already had a plan in mind.

Foggy Valley.

At the exchange meeting, Chen Qing looked at Changhong standing high on the stone platform and the independent cultivators around him who were competing to bid, but what he was thinking about was something that had nothing to do with the auction.

There are only seven or eight late-stage Qi Refining cultivators who often come to this auction, but according to Qingsong Sanren, there are at least twenty late-stage cultivators in the entire Luo Yun Mansion. In other words, there are still more than ten late-stage cultivators in isolation. If I want to find a place that can provide training for late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, I can only start with these wandering cultivators.

Just as Chen Qing was thinking, Changhong on the high platform suddenly took out an item and said loudly.

"Fellow Daoists, please pay attention. The items that will be auctioned next are of considerable value."

His tone was serious, but it attracted the attention of many cultivators. Even Chen Qing became interested and looked at the thing in his hand.

Changhong was seen holding five small black iron tokens in his hands. Although the platform was more than ten meters away from the cultivators, the cultivators' eyesight was enough to see an unknown seal script engraved on the tokens.

"This is... the Linlang Mansion Order!"

Some monks recognized the origin of the token and exclaimed in surprise, causing a commotion among the crowd.

Simply put, this is a secret realm located on the border of Luo Yun Mansion. However, what is special is that this secret realm will not be opened on weekdays. Only when the cultivators holding the Linlang Mansion Order enter the coverage of the secret realm will they be absorbed into the secret realm.

Therefore, although this secret realm exists in Luo Yun Mansion, few cultivators pay attention to it. Chen Qing had heard Qingsong Sanren mention it before, and now, through the discussion of the cultivators around him, he had a general understanding of this Linlang secret realm.

"Although this Linlang Mansion secret realm has only been opened a few times, those cultivators who were fortunate enough to enter it have all entered the late stage..."

"I heard that the Linlang Mansion Order has only appeared at auctions three times. This should be the fourth time."

"Also, this Linlang Mansion Order seems to have only appeared at auctions. I've never heard of a cultivator obtaining one... Among them..."

"You must have been kicked in the head by an iron-horned bull. Which casual cultivator who picked up the Linlang Mansion Order would spread the news widely? He would definitely use it secretly."

"It seems so... But I heard that there seems to be a foundation-building spiritual object in the secret realm of Linlang Mansion. It is a high-level spiritual object that can help cultivators build their foundation. If I can get it..."

"Don't be so delusional. As far as I know, the last time this Linlang Mansion Order appeared at an auction, it was sold for over a thousand spirit stones. Even if I sell you, I probably wouldn't be able to raise that much spirit stones."

"Ah! So, according to you, this opportunity is no longer available to me?"

"..."

Listening to the discussions of the monks around him, Chen Qing felt more and more that Luo Yun Mansion was not simple.

There is a lack of spiritual energy, three cultivators in the Fog Valley, four dangerous places, abnormal earth veins, and now a secret realm of Linlang Mansion has emerged.

For some reason, Chen Qing always had a sense of déjà vu. He thought about it carefully and suddenly found that this seemed to be somewhat similar to his situation in Maple Valley and Autumn Leaf Island.

Shouldn't... I be... so unlucky?

Chen Qing muttered to himself, he always felt that this matter would not be so simple.

And what is the best way to deal with this situation?

Then naturally we should put it aside and ignore it.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost brewing, Changhong spoke.

"The starting price for a Linlang Mansion Order is nine hundred spirit stones, and each bid increase must not be less than twenty spirit stones."

After a pause, he smiled.

"Now, the auction begins."

"I'll offer nine hundred and eighty spirit stones!"

"Humph, in previous years, a Linlang Mansion Order would have cost at least a thousand spirit stones. You think you can get it with just nine hundred and eighty spirit stones? It's time to wake up from your daydreaming, fellow Daoist! I'll offer one thousand and eighty spirit stones."

"You! Humph, do you really think I don't have any spirit stones? One thousand and one hundred!"

"..."

Listening to the fierce quarrels around him, Chen Qing suddenly realized that the independent cultivators who came today seemed to be very wealthy, and they casually gave away thousands of spirit stones, which was different from the past.

Did you get the news in advance?

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar faces around him, Chen Qing recalled the faces of the monks who had come to the auction before, and found that there didn't seem to be many people who matched him.

Sure enough, although the Luo Yun Mansion is short of spiritual energy and has many wandering cultivators living in seclusion, it is actually still connected with the outside world of immortal cultivation and does not take any action on weekdays.

And once an opportunity arises like now, it will definitely lead out the outer monks who were originally hiding behind the scenes.

But, are the people fighting for it only cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage?

Chen Qing looked around, secretly activated the Qi-gazing technique, and quietly scanned everyone, and was immediately surprised.

In his eyes, the late Qi Refining cultivators who were rarely seen before could be seen everywhere in the venue.

There are even many great monks who have reached the perfection of Qi training.

However, Chen Qing really didn't find any cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage mixed in.

Is the Linlang Mansion Order not attractive enough? Or are there cultivators to support them?

However, no matter what, with the existence of the Linlang Mansion Order, Luo Yun Mansion will probably not be peaceful in the future.
