My Optimized Immortal Life

Renting this attic in Hualiangu means that Chen Qing has officially settled down here. If nothing unexpected happens, he plans to practice here until he has completed his Qi Refining, or even established his foundation.

However, after staying in Ziyun Mountain for so many years, he was almost out of spirit stones, so he had to earn some first.

Two days later, Chen Qing came to a shop.

This shop specializes in purchasing talismans made by independent practitioners and selling them.

Chen Qingchu had just arrived, and he was now preparing to practice hard, so it was not advisable for him to sell talismans himself like he did before on Qiuye Island.

Although the price of selling the talisman directly would definitely be lower than if Chen Qing sold it himself, Chen Qing no longer cared too much about so many spirit stones.

As he walked into the shop, the magical aura of Chen Qing, who was in the late stage of Qi training, immediately made a short old man run over hurriedly.

"I am the shop owner. I wonder what you would like to sell or buy."

"Selling some talismans."

Chen Qing spoke briefly and then casually took out dozens of fire rain talismans and water shield talismans from his storage bag.

"These...are actually all mid-grade talismans!"

Although the short old man had been in Hualiang Valley for more than ten years and had handled countless goods, and had seen many mid-grade talismans and even handled several high-grade talismans, it was the first time he had seen a cultivator like Chen Qing who could use dozens of mid-grade talismans at once.

"May I ask if you are a talisman maker?"

The short old man said respectfully.

Chen Qing nodded and then spoke.

"Boss, can I take this batch of talismans?"

The short old man knew that he had met an distinguished guest today, and he took out dozens of mid-grade talismans at once. This person must be a mid-grade talisman master, and he knew all the mid-grade talisman masters in the entire Hualiang Valley. In other words, this person must be a newcomer here. If I can establish a good relationship with him and let him sell all the talismans to me, my business will be booming.

"Of course you can, Senior. According to the market price, a Fire Rain Talisman costs twenty Spirit Stones, and a Water Shield Talisman costs twenty-six Spirit Stones. Since you have a total of twenty-eight talismans, that would be nine hundred and fifty Spirit Stones for you. How about that?"

The short old man calculated it in his mind and then spoke.

The price he mentioned was naturally much higher than the price of this batch of talismans, but if he could make friends with a mid-level talisman master through this, he would be making a profit.

Chen Qing nodded and continued.

"Boss, by the way, bring me three hundred sheets of yellow talisman paper and ten bottles of high-quality talisman ink, as well."

The shopkeeper nodded, then collected all the talismans that Chen Qing had taken out, and immediately walked to the back to get talisman paper and ink for Chen Qing.

After a while.

"Senior, these are three hundred pieces of yellow talisman paper and ten bottles of River Toad's Blood, a total of one hundred and twenty spirit stones. The remaining eight hundred and thirty spirit stones are also placed in this storage bag for you."

As the short old man spoke, he handed a storage bag to Chen Qing.

Chen Qing took the storage bag, probed with his spiritual sense, and after confirming that the quantity was correct, he smiled.

"Shopkeeper, your prices are quite reasonable. Next time I make a talisman, I'll sell it here too. How about that?"

Hearing this, the short old man was moved and immediately agreed.

"Then I will wait here respectfully for you, Senior."

After leaving the shop, Chen Qing did not go back. Instead, he went to several other shops and sold most of the talismans on him. When he walked out of the last shop, there were already three thousand spirit stones in his storage bag.

After reaching the first-grade upper-quality talisman master realm, Chen Qing's success rate in drawing upper-quality talismans has reached 50%, and the success rate in drawing mid-quality talismans has reached 80%. After breaking through to the first-grade peak talisman master with the help of the Soul-Destroying Talisman, his success rate in drawing mid-quality talismans has reached 100%. In addition, his cultivation has now reached the late stage of Qi Refining, so he dares to sell mid-quality talismans on a large scale.

However, Chen Qing did not use his original appearance, but brought out Jiang Xuming, who was originally used on Qiuye Island.

After all, there are not many mid-grade talisman masters in the entire Hualian Valley, and there are only a few top-grade talisman masters. The talismans they draw are definitely not as good as Chen Qing's. This may make Chen Qing enter the sight of the top leaders of Hualian Valley. Therefore, a fake identity is still indispensable.

I can earn thousands of spirit stones by selling a talisman once. My ability to make money has surpassed that of an average foundation-building cultivator. I am worthy of it. However, because of this, I must not reveal my wealth to avoid being targeted by others.

After feeling secretly proud of himself for a moment, Chen Qing immediately warned himself again.

He currently does not have the means to deal with the major overhaul of foundation building, and his current primary goal is to advance to foundation building, so he still has to stay hidden for now.

After selling the talismans and earning a large sum of spirit stones, Chen Qing went to buy some spiritual medicines and an alchemy furnace. He was now ready to use his innate abilities to quickly get started with alchemy, so naturally he had to buy a batch of spiritual medicines and an alchemy furnace to go back and refine them.

If he could elevate his alchemy skills to a higher level, then Chen Qing would be an all-around cultivator who was proficient in all four arts of cultivation.

Although most of them were successfully admitted by him due to his natural ability...

As for the pills for cultivation, Chen Qing naturally bought some as well. However, since there was only one store selling pills in Hualiangu, Chen Qing did not dare to buy in large quantities. He only bought four bottles to save some money. The four bottles were enough to support him and Xu Lingxin's cultivation for half a month.

Return to the attic.

When Chen Qing went up to the second floor, he saw that the door of the retreat room was closed. It was obvious that Xu Lingxin was practicing hard in there again.

Seeing this, Chen Qing took out dozens of spirit stones from his storage bag and threw them into the formation surrounding the retreat room, making the spiritual energy therein more concentrated.

After doing all this, Chen Qing thought for a while, went downstairs again, took out the cushion, sat cross-legged on it, then took out a slightly used Ninghua Pill from the storage bag, put it in his mouth, and then began to practice.

He has now entered the late stage of Qi Refining. Except for alchemy, which he has not yet mastered, the other four arts of immortal cultivation have all entered the first level. There are also several top-grade magic weapons in his storage bag, and more than a thousand spirit stones.

Despite having such a huge fortune, Chen Qing's cultivation level is only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, which is a bit too backward.

Therefore, in the next period of time, Chen Qing planned to put aside the things he was doing and concentrate on practicing, striving to break through the eighth level of Qi Refining within the next three years.

He is only in his twenties now, and he still has more than thirty years to go before his Qi and blood decline at the age of sixty. Now that the problem of the training place has been solved, he feels that he can strive to cultivate to perfection in Qi Refining before the age of forty, and then start planning to break through the foundation.

Without thinking any more, Chen Qing's thoughts sank in an instant. He looked inward at his body with his spiritual consciousness and concentrated on practicing his skills. While refining the medicinal power, he continuously attracted external spiritual energy to improve his cultivation.

In this way, another five years passed in a flash.
