My Optimized Immortal Life

Lushan walked into the thatched house.

This thatched house may not seem big from the outside, but it is actually about three hundred square meters inside. It was built by the county magistrate and other officials of Pingjiang City. Its main beam is made of a hundred-year-old ebony brought from Lushan. It is strong enough to support the thick thatch covering the entire beam.

In the center of the house, there is a stove. Inside, flames are like claws, clinging to the mouth of the stove, constantly radiating heat into the entire thatched house, making the whole house quite warm.

Next to the fireplace, there were several large beds, and on each bed, there were several girls sitting or lying.

At this moment, as Lushan entered the house, all the girls in the house were immediately startled.

Dozens of eyes were cast at Lushan with doubt, but Lushan suddenly smiled and said nothing. He just slowly walked to the stove and sat down cross-legged.

Seeing that Lushan had not explained why he came in, the many girls in the room suddenly felt something was wrong.

They all retreated to the corner of the room, and looked at Lushan with a hint of vigilance.

Lushan, who was sitting cross-legged in front of the fire, did not stop the girls. After the girls had retreated to the corner with nowhere to retreat, he made a hand gesture.

"The blood of the third day of the lunar month has all entered my body."

"The fire of soul resentment builds the foundation of my path."

"Nine Grudges and Nine Hate Blood Soul Technique, activate!"

As Lushan uttered the last word "rise", all the magic power in his body suddenly surged and flowed into the stove standing in the middle of the room.

The next moment, the orange flames in the entire furnace suddenly turned into black and red, with an indescribable evil color.

As the color of the stove changed, the girls who had huddled in the corner couldn't help but scream and exclaim at the strange sight, but the changes did not end there.

Among the girls, one of them suddenly had flames that were exactly the same black and red as the one in the furnace.

When the girl saw such a strange thing on her body, her eyes were suddenly filled with fear, and she raised her hand to extinguish the fire.

When the hand was halfway extended, the girl suddenly cried out in pain. The black and red flames burned on her body, burning her flesh and blood into nothingness.

Indescribable pain filled the girl's body, causing her to roll on the ground in agony, but she was unable to extinguish the flames. On the contrary, the flames grew larger and larger, enveloping the girl, and she disappeared from view.

Seeing this, the girls around immediately moved away from the place covered by flames. One girl saw an arm struggling to reach out from the flames, but it turned into nothingness in an instant.

After the girl was burned to nothingness, only a strange black and red flame was left in her place, within which the figure of a girl could be faintly seen emerging.

The black-red flame burned in the air, and was then pulled by Lushan who cast a spell, causing it to quickly come in front of Lushan. Then, Lushan actually absorbed the black-red flame directly into his body.

Seeing this strange and bizarre scene.

Those who were in a state of anxiety immediately broke down and burst into tears.

There are those who remain silent, with their foreheads lowered and no light in their eyes, having lost hope.

Most people had dull eyes and were numb as they watched Lushan do it quietly, without trying to stop him or struggling.

They had already heard the news from their parents or other sources, so they were already prepared.

After the first girl was burned to ashes by the strange black and red flames, several more flames rose from the crowd, causing a burst of exclamations.

After hearing the girls' screams, Lushan couldn't help but frown, and changed the magic gestures in his hands several times. All his magic power surged into the furnace, causing the flames to rise several feet higher, almost reaching the thatched roof.

But although the flames became several times more intense, the temperature did not rise. Instead, the people in the room felt a little colder than before, which made them shrink even tighter.

The number of black and red flames in the crowd continued to increase, and every time a flame rose, it meant that a girl had lost her life.

Lushan's actions were undoubtedly demonic, but no one could expose his true identity at the moment. Although Chen Qing was outside the house, he could not see what was happening inside the house because of the formation.

Even if Chen Qing could see it, he could only turn a blind eye.

Inside the house, as black and red flames rose, the originally bright light in the whole house suddenly became dim. As the dark red flames in the stove swayed, Lushan's figure became a little hazy.

Countless black and red flames gathered around him and were absorbed into his body to increase his magic power.

Lushan closed his eyes, and his old face, set against the backdrop of the flames, actually became somewhat kind, completely different from his usual sinister and vicious aura.

At the same time, the magic power in his body and dantian was boiling. The fire from the outside world that he absorbed into his body had already turned into surging magic power in his meridians, rushing into his dantian, merging with his magic power, surging in his dantian, and stirring between his meridians.

Originally, Lushan was only one step away from the ninth floor. Now with the help of the magic power transformed from the black flame, he immediately broke through the ninth-level bottleneck that had trapped him for a long time. His magic power surged and his meridians were connected.

There were still more than ten black and red flames surrounding him, and as he broke through the ninth level of Qi Refining, his magic power leaked out and his spiritual pressure overflowed. These ten flames suddenly began to sway, and even the flames in the furnace that were originally close to the roof shrank back into the furnace in the blink of an eye.

After Lushan's breath stabilized, he opened his eyes. However, his eyes were stained with blood red without him knowing when, and it seemed that tears of blood were about to fall from them.

He continued to make hand gestures with his hands, absorbing all the remaining black and red flames around him into his body, transforming them into magic power to consolidate his newly achieved breakthrough in cultivation.

"Ninth level of Qi Refining, only one step away from perfection."

Lushan stood up and looked around.

He was the only one left in this spacious thatched hut.

Looking at the traces left by the girls in the thatched hut, he remained indifferent.

He simply cast a cleansing spell throughout the house and headed for the door.

When you push open the wooden door, you will see heavy snow falling all over the sky, drifting freely and carefree.

Looking at this scene, a smile appeared on Lushan's face.

He is not far from being free and easy.

Stopping in front of the thatched hut, Lushan waved his hand and prepared to take back the battle flags scattered at the four corners outside the hut.

At this moment, in Lushan's perception, the formation that originally concealed him and the entire thatched hut suddenly changed, excluding his magic power.

At the same time, dozens of ice cones emerged from the formation, mixed with the power of the formation, and shot towards Lushan.

Outside the formation, Chen Qing smiled silently.

"I beg you to die and help me on my path."
