Chapter 56: Gifts
One must give something in return for a favor.
One must first give their favor in order to begin building a relationship.
Building a good relationship with a young Qi-refining mid-stage cultivator, without giving anything in return, would be improper.
Watching He Song walk away, Ping'er pondered for a moment before finally shaking her head and heading up to the second floor.
Her personal reception of He Song was just an impulsive decision.
As one of the stewards in the Spirit Skill Pavilion, she usually stayed on the second floor.
Now that the gift was given.
She just had to wait for him to act.
Stall Section.
He Song walked home leisurely, glancing at the small box in hand from time to time.V/\IssịT n0(v)eL/b(i)(n).𝘤𝑜/𝓂 for the b/est novel reading experi/en/ce
The box was exquisite, seemingly carved from a precious type of wood found in the Mortal World.
Given the delicate patterns on it, the small box must be worth a fortune in the
Mortal World.
But, here was Cultivation World.
This exquisite small wooden box was only beautiful in appearance.
It was the tea leaves inside the little box that were truly valuable.
From He Song's perspective.
The tea leaves in the small box were indeed of good quality.
At least, it was better than the tea leaves he usually drank when he was alone.
"Mr. He, if you find it boring to drink tea alone, don't hesitate to invite me. My days on duty at the Spirit Skill Pavilion are also quite tedious."
As He Song walked home, he recalled the words Ping'er had said after giving him the tea leaves.
Her words seemed to be unintentional, yet also deliberately emphasized.
He Song couldn't understand.
But since she had already given him the gift, it must not be just an empty phrase to him.
At a loss to understand her intentions, he decided not to think about it further.
He would let things take their course and invite Ping'er using the Sound Transmission skill when he was truly drinking tea alone in the future.
By that time, he would naturally know her purpose.
Upon arriving home,
He Song put the box into his storage bag and immediately entered his meditation room to cultivate amidst the increasingly dense spirit Qi in the Spirit-Gathering Array.
Like this, a few days passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day,
He Song had just finished using the Spirit Rain Skill at his spirit field for half an hour when he saw a sound-transmitting paper crane flying from the sky and landed in front of him in the blink of an eye.
The sound-transmitting paper crane shimmered with spiritual light.
When He Song released his own breath, it turned back into a piece of thin paper and fell into his hands.
"Mr. He, I have returned from Green Wall Immortal City. Come to the Spirit
Construction Pavilion quickly, I have important matters to discuss."
'Wei Fan."
Glancing over the words on the paper, He Song put it away and immediately rushed towards the Spirit Construction Pavilion.
Wei Fan was back.
Although he didn't know what important matters he had to discuss, it must be related to him.
But what could be related to him while he had been in the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion all this time?
Confused, He Song didn't slow down his pace.
In a short while, he arrived at the Spirit Construction Pavilion.
Second floor.
Upon stepping into the room, He Song saw Wei Fan, who was playing with a small object.
No one else was around Wei Fan.
"Come and sit down. This is the gift that Lao Meng picked for you in Green Wall Immortal City. Take a look."
While He Song was still in his daze, Wei Fan had already gestured for He Song to come sit and showed him the object in his hand.
It was a small jade bottle.
Even the bottle cap showed a crystal-clear, jade-like quality.
If one looked closely, the appearance of the elixir inside the jade bottle was clearly visible.
He Song approached upon hearing this.
And took the jade bottle from Wei Fan's hand.
Opened it.
A rich elixir fragrance immediately filled the air, causing He Song to tremble in his heart.
At the same time, He Song felt that the spirit power inside his body increased slightly just by smelling the fragrance.
"Is this? A middle-grade elixir, the Qi-Gathering Elixir?"
Closing the bottle cap, He Song had an uncertain thought about the Qi Refining stage elixir that flashed through his mind.
There are several elixirs available for the Qi Refining stage.
Inedia Elixir, not an elixir grade.
Qi Nourishing Elixir, low-grade elixir, suitable for use in the Qi Refining Early Stage to improve cultivation base.
Qi-Gathering Elixir, middle-grade elixir, suitable for use in the Qi-refining mid stage to improve cultivation base.
Qi Condensing Elixir, high-quality elixir, suitable for use in Qi-refining late stage to improve cultivation base.
Apart from these, there are also Breakthrough Elixirs, specifically used to overcome bottlenecks between minor realms.
Among these elixirs, except for the Inedia Elixir, which has a relatively simple refining method and can be barely refined by those learning elixir refinement, the rest of the elixirs can only be refined by elixir refinement masters.
Thus, the prices are high.
A bottle of ten Qi Nourishing Elixirs requires ten spirit stones.
A bottle of ten Qi-Gathering Elixirs requires even more, thirty spirit stones.
Qi Condensing Elixirs are even more expensive, requiring a full hundred spirit stones for one bottle.
As for the Breakthrough Elixirs, the prices are naturally even more expensive.
If the elixir in He Song's hand was indeed a middle-grade elixir, the Qi-Gathering Elixir, the value would be at least thirty spirit stones.
It turned out that Meng Guan had brought such a great gift for him when he visited the Green Wall Immortal City.
This….
Having many thoughts flash through his mind, He Song didn't know what to say at the moment.
"It is indeed a Qi-Gathering Elixir. Lao Meng had said before that he wanted to thank us. He bought a bottle of Qi Condensing Elixir for me, a bottle of Qi-Gathering Elixir for you, and a Breakthrough Elixir for himself."
"Tsk, Lao Meng spent three years in the mine, plus his original savings, he actually saved up quite a few spirit stones."
Wei Fan nodded in confirmation of He Song's guess and then let out a sigh.
It was unclear whether he was sighing about Meng Guan spending all his saved spirit stones in such a short time or if he was sighing about something else.
Sat down beside Wei Fan.
He Song held the jade bottle for a moment before carefully putting it into his storage bag.
He had never used a Qi-Gathering Elixir worth thirty spirit stones before.
Even the Qi Nourishing Elixir used in the Qi Refining Early Stage, He Song had never used before.
All along, he had been absorbing the spirit Qi within the Immortal Pavilion to cultivate and was unfamiliar with elixirs.
Now that Meng Guan had brought him a bottle,
This was really his first time seeing elixirs in this world.
Naturally, he wanted the novelty.
Now that the novelty had passed, he simply put it in his storage bag.
"Where's Lao Meng? Did he break through to the Qi-refining late stage? Why did only you come back when there were two of you going?" He Song poured a cup of tea for himself and asked casually while smelling the tea fragrance.
Two people went to the Green Wall Immortal City together, but only one person came back.
If it weren't for his close friendship with Wei Fan, He Song might have thought that Wei Fan had secretly killed someone and taken their treasures.
However, the Qi-Gathering Elixir in his storage bag and Wei Fan's calm face made this thought linger in He Song's mind for only a moment.
He immediately dismissed it.bender
Having known each other for so many years, they trusted each other's
character.
He just didn't know why Meng Guan didn't come back with Wei Fan.
Could it be that he was having too much fun in the Immortal City and didn't want to leave?
He Song looked at Wei Fan with suspicion.
"Lao Meng is still in the Immortal City. After successfully breaking through to the Qi-refining late stage, he told me that he wants to develop within the
Immortal City. The Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion is too small, only the
Immortal City is the place where Qi-refining late stage cultivators should be."
Facing He Song's question, Wei Fan's expression was unclear, and he replied indistinctly..
Chapter 57: Fighting for Life
Meng Guan's decision to stay in Immortal City.
When Wei Fan first found out, he actually found it difficult to understand.
He also tried to persuade him.
But.
When Meng Guan told Wei Fan what was in his heart, Wei Fan fell silent.
"Wei, from the moment I left Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion three years ago, my fate was already set: either fight to the death to successfully achieve Foundation Establishment, or fall on the road to Foundation Establishment.
There's no other way."
"I'm a Five Spirits Roots cultivator, unlike you with your four spirits roots talent. If I follow the normal course of cultivation, I'd be able to get a glimpse of the Foundation Establishment Realm before turning sixty."
"Although not using the Foundation Establishment Elixir to forcefully break through would make the probability of breaking through to Foundation Establishment very low, it gives me, a Five Spirits Roots cultivator, that little bit more chance of achieving Foundation Establishment."
"If there is no opportunity, and I don't fight for it with my life, my cultivation would reach the limit of Qi-refining late stage. That's why I left Immortal Pavilion and gambled everything."
"Fortunately, my gamble was right. Now, having broken through the bottleneck of the Qi-refining late stage, the road ahead is smooth. I just need to train as soon as possible and succeed in refining to the ninth- tier Qi Refining stage before turning sixty, then I can explore the Foundation
Establishment Realm."
"Unfortunately, I squandered my youth and didn't learn a particular skill. It's too late to regret it now."
"Helpless."
"The Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion is too small. Only in Immortal City can I find enough cultivation resources to hope for a glimpse of the Foundation Establishment Realm before turning sixty."
"Brother Wei, take care."
Wei Fan let out a long sigh as he recalled the conversation with Meng Guan after Meng's breakthrough.
He then recited this passage to He Song.
He Song also fell silent upon hearing this.
Spirit Construction Pavilion.
Second floor
He Song never expected that Meng Guan had already made such a plan three years ago.
Perhaps, from the day he resigned from the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion and left Immortal Pavilion, Meng Guan had already made up his mind?
Either break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm and become a revered Foundation Establishment Master.
Or fall on the road to the Foundation Establishment Realm, becoming an unattended corpse by the roadside.
There is no other way.
"Ah, it seems that Old Meng has really made up his mind. I hope he has smooth sailing in Immortal City."
After a long time, He Song picked up the cup of tea on the table, raised it in the direction of Green Wall Immortal City, and then drank it in one gulp.
This cup of tea is a blessing.
Blessing Meng Guan to have smooth sailing in Immortal City.
With his current low level of cultivation, He Song was unable to help Meng Guan.
So he could only give his blessings, hoping Meng Guan could achieve his goal.
After all, Meng Guan was the guide of He Song's previous life, and had done a great favor for the current He Song.
If it weren't for Meng Guan gifting him the book "Spiritual Plant Cultivation Skill", He Song's days as a loose cultivator would not have been easy.
Although he couldn't help for now, he would not be stingy with his blessings.
"Hopefully."
Wei Fan, who was sitting next to him, shook his head with a smile. Although he felt it would be of little use, he didn't say a word against it.
Foundation Establishment Realm, it's not so easy.
The thought flashed through his mind, but Wei Fan didn't voice it out loud, choosing to keep it in his heart instead.
In the following time.
The two of them, who hadn't seen each other for months, talked about their experiences during this time.
He Song also gained a better understanding of the distant Green Wall Immortal City.
Green Wall Immortal City.
Under the jurisdiction of the Golden Elixir Great Faction, Thick Earth Sect. V/\IssịT n0(v)eL/b(i)(n).𝘤𝑜/𝓂 for the b/est novel reading experi/en/ce
Located more than two thousand miles north of Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.
In Green Wall Immortal City, there were all sorts of cultivators coming and going like loose cultivators, sect disciples, noble family members, and Immortal Pavilion cultivators. It was a mixed bag.
Even a quarter of the city was specially set aside for mortals to live in.
This was a city where immortals and mortals coexisted.
The mortals in the city were mostly descendants of cultivators and had close ties with cultivators in the city.
They usually made a living by doing things that cultivators were unwilling to do.
Several Foundation Establishment Masters were stationed in the city all year round, ensuring its safety.
Some of these Foundation Establishment Masters belonged to the Thick Earth Sect, others to cultivating families' ancestral masters, and even some rumored to be loose cultivators who had established their foundation and lived in the city.
The presence of several Foundation Establishment Masters greatly enhanced the security of Green Wall Immortal City.
Masters for the cultivators in the city.
Because no one knows whether the person you unintentionally offend will have a Foundation Establishment Master behind them.
At the same time, it also allowed cultivators who had reached the late stage of Qi-refining and wanted to further step into Foundation Establishment Realm to have the opportunity to climb upwards.
In the Immortal City, there were many more Qi-refining late stage cultivators than in the Immortal Pavilion.
Like Meng Guan, there were quite a few Qi-refining late-stage cultivators in the city who wanted to stay and prepare to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
However, the huge gap between the Qi-refining stage and Foundation Establishment stopped many people.
Over the years.
These Qi-refining late-stage cultivators usually ran businesses to earn spirit stones, accumulating them.
Firstly, if a Foundation Establishment Elixir appeared at the auction house, they could participate in the bidding.
Secondly, if they couldn't get the Foundation Establishment Elixir, they could leave the earned spirit stones for their descendants with spirit roots, giving them better chances of breaking through to Foundation Establishment.
Thirdly, for those in the late stage of Qi-refining for whom progress was no longer possible, it was necessary to have something to pass the time because long-term stagnation would easily produce inner demons.
Fourthly…
Thus, under the fierce competition of countless late-stage Qi-refining cultivators in Green Wall Immortal City, loose cultivators like Meng Guan would certainly find it easier to obtain cultivation resources than in Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.
There's no need to risk their lives, and their personal safety was guaranteed.
Furthermore, due to the large number of late-stage Qi-refining cultivators involved, the resources that could be obtained within the city were even greater.
Meng Guan, staying in Green Wall Immortal City, would probably lead a more comfortable life with his seventh-tier Qi-refining cultivation. At the same time, Meng Guan's cultivation would also improve rapidly.
Through Wei Fan's description,
He Song gained a general understanding of Green Wall Immortal City and the cultivators there.
He also had no other opinions about Meng Guan's decision to stay in Green Wall Immortal City.
He might as well stay.
After all, he would live a comfortable life in the Immortal City.
If something happens in the future and Meng Guan could no longer stay in Immortal City, He Song and Wei Fan, who were in Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion, could still provide a way out for Meng Guan.
Ultimately,
He Song returned home to continue his cultivation after handing over his duties as the steward of the Spirit Construction Pavilion to Wei Fan. It had been several days since he returned from the Spirit Skill Pavilion.
In those days,
He Song's control of the Fireball Skill had improved leaps and bounds.
This was thanks to his strong soul from crossing over, which made him study skills much faster than ordinary cultivators.
Now,
Since Wei Fan had returned and He Song no longer needed to go to the Spirit Construction Pavilion for duty every day, he naturally went back home to continue his skill cultivation..
Chapter 58 Another 3 Years
Time flies.
Years pass swiftly like a shuttle.
Days go by one by one, yet the tasks in He Song's hands do not seem to get any fewer.
Since Wei Fan returned from Green Wall Immortal City, He Song has been immersed in the joy of learning skills.
Fireball Skill.
Light Body Skill.
It took He Song a total of twenty days to master these two basic skills.
These two basic skills are similar to the Spirit Rain Skill and Spirit Arrow Skill.
Naturally, the time required for cultivation would not have much difference.
With a stronger soul as foundation, He Song's cultivation speed has always been far ahead of other cultivators.
However, while practicing the Fireball Skill and Light Body Skill, even after reaching a proficient level, He Song never forgets to set aside time to practice daily.
Practicing skills helps cultivators deepen their understanding of the skill and to be more comfortable controlling it.
Increase in power.
Time needed for casting is reduced.
These are the extra effects that frequent practice of skills would bring about.
Apart from cultivating these two skills, He Song's daily cultivation speed is much faster than before.
Thanks to the high-quality Qi-Gathering Elixir brought back by Wei Fan on behalf of Meng Guan, He Song's cultivation speed has become terrifyingly fast when combined with his practice within the Spirit-Gathering Array. Initially, He Song guessed it would take him at least four years to advance from the fourth to the fifth tier of Qi Refining. Thê sourc𝗲 of this conte/nt n/o/v/(𝒆l)bi((n))
However, by being in the Spirit-Gathering Array and taking the Qi-Gathering Elixir, He Song's cultivation level broke through from the fourth-tier to the fifth-tier of Qi Refining in just three short years.
Although it wasn't a significant breakthrough in the realm.
Compared to He Song's original estimation, it was a whole year faster.
Such a rapid increase in cultivation speed both surprised and delighted He Song.
The fully functioning Spirit-Gathering Array, plus the ten Qi-Gathering Elixirs, had surprisingly effective results.
He Song even considered investing all his spirit stones into elixirs to maintain such extremely rapid cultivation speed.
With such a rapid cultivation speed, by the time he reached the Qi-refining late stage, he would definitely be able to obtain even more resources.
Moreover, he could live in the inner courtyard of the Immortal Pavilion, greatly improving his quality of life.
But, after weighing the pros and cons through thoughtful consideration and verification, He Song shook his head and dismissed the idea.
The Qi-Gathering Elixir cost thirty spirit stones per bottle.
With his annual income of ninety spirit stones, he could only afford to buy three bottles of the elixirs per year.
Thirty Qi-Gathering Elixirs would be just enough for one month's use.
After purchasing three bottles of Qi-Gathering Elixirs, there would be no hope for learning any new skills.
All the spirit stones would go to buying elixirs.
How could any be left for purchasing skills?
If he purchased three bottles of Qi-Gathering Elixir each year without keeping any spirit stones, he might not even be able to afford mortal rice.
In addition to that, after consuming the bottle of Qi-Gathering Elixirs brought back by Wei Fan on Meng Guan's behalf, He Song discovered that the elixir had side effects, namely elixir poison.
After consuming an entire bottle of Qi-Gathering Elixir, He Song noticed that by the tenth Qi-Gathering Elixir, the elixir's effect in improving his cultivation had somewhat diminished.
At the same time, when He Song circulated the spirit power within his body, it had become more difficult to mobilize than before.
The ease of controlling the spirit power in his body was significantly different from before.
There was a feeling of obscure obstruction.
However, within a month of taking the elixir, the spirit power in his body returned to its original state.
This confirmed to He Song that after eating a bottle of ten Qi-Gathering Elixirs, the elixir poison in his body would take a month to completely dissipate.
The existence of elixir poison was also the reason why He Song abandoned the idea of taking elixirs to rapidly increase his cultivation level.
Having spirit power that could not be freely controlled and faced with immense resistance in circulation is taboo for cultivators.
If one were to fight with others, such obscure power would hardly be a match for cultivators of the same realm.
Even when breaking through bottlenecks, such obscure power could become a huge hindrance.
At the same time.
Because He Song was constantly in the Spirit-Gathering Array, the obstructed feeling in the circulation of spirit power in his body would slow down the speed at which he absorbed spirit Qi.
As the speed of absorbing spirit Qi decreased, naturally, it would affect the speed of growth of spirit power in his body.
In this way, after the rapid growth of spirit power after taking the elixir, and the loss of spirit power due to the slowed down absorption of spirit Qi within a month after the elixir poison entered the body, they would offset each other.
He Song was astonished to find that his cultivation speed after taking the elixir was only a bit faster than the normal speed of absorbing spirit Qi in the Spirit-Gathering Array.
It couldn't reach the original expectation at all.
After coming to this conclusion.
He Song completely dismissed the idea of spending all his spirit stones on purchasing elixirs and quickly improving his cultivation level.
Spending all spirit stones on buying elixirs, as opposed to not spending them and just absorbing the spirit Qi in the Spirit-Gathering Array, didn't make much difference in cultivation speed.
In this case, why bother contributing all his spirit stones to an elixir refiner?
It would be better to use these spirit stones to buy skills, spirit amulets, artifacts, and so on to enhance his own strength.
After all.
He Song was constantly in the Spirit-Gathering Array, and his cultivation speed was much faster than that of ordinary cultivators.
And the Spirit-Gathering Array was the root cause of all this.
If it weren't for He Song successfully setting up the Spirit-Gathering Array, how could he have had such an extraordinary cultivation speed?
He Song, who was in the Spirit-Gathering Array, usually cultivated much faster than other cultivators.
However, this also meant that taking elixirs didn't improve his cultivation speed significantly.
This at least saved the cost of buying elixirs.
Now.
Three years have passed.
He Song's cultivation level has successfully broken through to the fifth -tier of Qi Refining.
He has taken a small step out of the Qi-refining mid-stage, and when he breaks through to the sixth-tier of Qi Refining, he will need to consider whether to take the challenge himself or, like Meng Guan, save spirit stones to go to Green Wall Immortal City to buy Breakthrough Elixirs.
During these three years, He Song has not forgotten to continue studying 'Array Tao Introduction'.
After three years, and with the experience gained from studying the Spirit-Gathering Array, He Song has thoroughly mastered the Illusion Array in 'Array Tao Introduction', and successfully inscribed several Array Foundation techniques required to set up the Illusion Array,
"With the Illusion Array, I can obscure vision, hide my aura, and confuse minds; I don't have to worry about the spirit field I'll set up outside being discovered by others. I'm one step closer to opening a spirit field!"
He Song, who had just inscribed all the Array Foundations for the Illusion Array, had a faint smile on his face at this moment.
He spent three fulfilling years cultivating, studying, managing the spirit field, gathering with Wei Fan or other friends, and contacting distant friends with Sound Transmission Skill.
With all these experiences, He Song did not feel too lonely during these three years.
Now, having completed all Array Foundations for the Illusion Array, He Song felt extremely delighted. However, the next step was to set up the array. He Song's face gradually became serious, and his eyes swept across the quiet room, intending to set up the Illusion Array in his own quiet room..
Chapter 59: Illusion Array
"Setting up the Illusion Array in the quiet room.
An idea that only came to He Song after much contemplation.
Now.
He Song is an Array Path Master, and at the same time, a cultivator at the fifth-tier Qi Refining.
Although outsiders may only see him as an ordinary fourth-tier Qi-refining mid-stage cultivator, He Song's hidden identity cannot be detected by others.
For example, his identity as an Array Path Master is absolutely not to be revealed to others.
Even his friends, such as Wei Fan, Meng Guan, Zhao Lin, and Lin Cong, have never been informed of this hidden identity.
Some things can only be kept inside.
As an Everlasting being.
He Song must be responsible for his own safety.
He cannot be like other cultivators, who want everyone to know about their achievements as soon as they have any.
He is different from other cultivators.
Setting up the Illusion Array in his own quiet room is a consideration for this purpose.
Illusion Array.
It can shield vision, conceal Qi, and confuse the mind. As the one who sets up the Illusion Array, He Song can even control its range and the functions that he wants to activate.
If it is placed in the quiet room, He Song decided only to activate the Qi concealment function on normal days after pondering for a moment.
As for the shielding vision function, it is not too late to activate it when he is in seclusive cultivation or when there is a need.
When it comes to confusing minds, it is definitely not to be activated in the Immortal Pavilion, as it would draw attention.
Shielding vision is easy to understand.
Outsiders who break into the quiet room will see it as an empty space.
Even if He Song was sitting in the quiet room when an outsider broke in, they wouldn't be able to see his existence.
While concealing Qi is similar to the Breath Concealment Formulas.
The Illusion Array can hide He Song's own Qi, making it impossible for intruders to find him, and it can also hide the Qi of the Spirit-Gathering Array.
In the Spirit-Gathering Array, the concentration of spirit Qi is much higher than that of the outside world.
Once someone enters the range covered by the Spirit-Gathering Array, they may instantly detect its existence.
But if the Illusion Array is set up, even if the spirit Qi in the Spirit-Gathering Array is extremely dense, it is still undetectable by other cultivators under the cover of the Illusion Array.
In this way, after activating the two functions of shielding vision and concealing Qi, there would be no need for He Song to hide in the inner circle even if the calamity from six years ago were to happen again.
He just needs to sit in the Illusion Array and he can be safe and secure, without being discovered by any Evil Cultivators.
Of course, if such a situation arises, He Song will definitely activate the most profound function of the Illusion Array.
Confusing Minds.
Once this function is activated, regardless of whether it is a cultivator or an ordinary person, they would unconsciously avoid the range covered by the Illusion Array and leave.
Although it cannot guarantee that they won't be discovered.
But when they are not on guard, most people won't detect it.
With the three major functions of the Illusion Array, once it is set up, it can ensure He Song's safety.
Even outside the Immortal Pavilion, it can keep him safe and sound.
One can say that He Song, who now underst,nds the Spirit-Gathering Array as well as the Illusion Array, can already go outside the Immortal Pavilion and open up his own spirit field.
However, after thinking about it, He Song still gave up the tempting idea.
The combination of the Spirit-Gathering Array and the Illusion Array can indeed make his spirit field worry-free.
However, there is a huge hidden danger.
Only the concealment of the Illusion Array is not enough; he lacks attack and defense methods.
With He Song's current fifth-tier Oi Refining realm. if he were discovered by
Evil Cultivators by coincidence, most likely, there would only be a dead end waiting for him without the protection of the Five Phases Array.
Moreover, He Song has not yet learned any fast escape techniques so far. If he is trapped in the Illusion Array, he won't even be able to escape.
First, he has no attack or defense methods.
Second, he has no fast escape techniques.
He Song dare not leave the Immortal Pavilion recklessly.
He can only wait until he can set up the Five Phases Array and learn a fast escape technique before leaving the Immortal Pavilion to execute his plan.
It's worth mentioning that.
Once an array method is set up, it is not unmovable.
As an Array Path Master, if He Song needs to move later, he can take back all the Array Foundation used in the process and rearrange the array in his new home.
The engraved Array Foundations will not be damaged unless they are subjected to a powerful attack.
Except after the rearrangement of the array method, it takes nearly ten days for the array to achieve its maximum power; the rest remains the same.
Even if he needs to leave temporarily, He Song, as an Array Path Master, can instantly dismantle all the arrays in the quiet room, such as the Spirit-Gathering Array or other arrays, and put the Array Foundations into a storage bag.
When he needs to set up the array again, he can take it out at any time and set it up quickly.
In this way, setting up the Illusion Array in the quiet room is not a waste of materials.
After thinking about it.
He Song waved his hand, and the Nine Array Foundations appeared in front of him.
This is the Array Foundation of the Illusion Array.
Compared to the five Array Foundations of the Spirit-Gathering Array, the nine Array Foundations of the Illusion Array are more difficult to engrave and comprehend.
It's precisely because the Illusion Array is more difficult than the
Spirit-Gathering Array that He Song took a full three years to set it up.
Having had the experience of setting up the Spirit-Gathering Array, He Song's learning speed for other array methods was much faster than when he first started.
Nevertheless, it took three whole years.
He Song naturally understood the reason.
The Spirit-Gathering Array is the simplest array method, as described in the Array Tao Introduction.
At first, He Song didn't quite believe it.
But when he set up the Spirit-Gathering Array and began to comprehend the Illusion Array.
He believed it.
It took him three years just to start setting up the Illusion Array.
He glanced at the nine Array Foundations before him.
And then looked at the five Array Foundations on the Spirit-Gathering Array.
He Song shook his head and began to set up the array method with special techniques.
At the same time as setting up the array, He Song also adjusted the range covered by the Illusion Array and the functions activated.
At a certain moment.
A flash of light appeared in the quiet room.
"Success!"
Feening that the Illusion Array enveloped the entire quiet room ana the Spirit-Gathering Array, He Song stopped his work contentedly.
With the successful setup of the Illusion Array, he could not only conceal his form but also hide his Qi.
In this way, if he cultivates or goes into seclusive cultivation in the future, his safety will be greatly enhanced with the activation of the Illusion Array.bender
Of course, during ordinary times, He Song will only activate the Qi concealment function of the Illusion Array.
By activating this function.
After hiding the Qi of the Spirit-Gathering Array.
Even if He Song invited someone to his house, they would be unaware of the existence of the Spirit-Gathering Array in his home.
The Spirit-Gathering Array is always on, but the gathered spirit Qi is confined to the quiet room by He Song.
As soon as someone enters the quiet room and comes into contact with the extremely dense spirit Qi, they will instantly discover the existence of the Spirit-Gathering Array.
It is for this reason.
During the three years when he set up the Spirit-Gathering Array, He Song never brought anyone to his home..
Chapter 60: The 3-Year Agreement
Now that the Illusion Array has been set up, completely concealing the aura of the Spirit-Gathering Array, He Song couldn't help but sigh in relief.
With this.
He no longer had to worry about exposing his identity as an Array Path Master.
Now that the Illusion Array was in place, even if He Song brought someone into the quiet room, that person would have no idea they were already enveloped within two Array Skills.
They would never have guessed that the unremarkable He Song in front of them was actually an Array Path Master.
The Illusion Array was successfully set up.
He Song left the quiet room and entered his chamber.
Sitting at his desk, He Song made himself a cup of tea.
The faint aroma of tea filled his room.
It helped He Song's slightly fatigued spirit gradually recover after setting up the arrays.
He took a gentle sip.
Its unusual taste made He Song slightly puzzled.
But soon enough.
Pinger's figure suddenly flashed through He Song's mind.
Ping'er of the Spirit Skill Pavilion.
Three years ago, Ping'er had gifted He Song a box of fine tea.
Three years later, He Song brewed a pot of tea with the leaves from that box in his room.
In the blink of an eye, three years had passed.
He just didn't know if Ping'er, who had personally delivered the box of tea leaves back then, was available at this moment.
Could he fulfill his promise and invite her to share the tea while he drank
alone?
A three-year gap between invitations did seem quite long.
He Song pondered for a moment, and a thin sheet of paper suddenly appeared in his hand.
"Ping'er my fellow Daoist, three years ago, you gifted an humble person like me a box of fine tea, for which I am deeply grateful. However, I was entangled in mundane affairs, distracting my spirit."
"When I took out that box of fine tea again, I realized how time flies like an arrow, and years swiftly pass by."
"In the blink of an eye, three years have gone by."
"I wonder if you have time now, fellow Daoist. Today, I'm enjoying the tea alone, but I worry that I might disappoint the kindness you have shown me."
He Song."
Threads of spirit power seeped from He Song's fingertips, instantly inscribing lines of words on the thin paper.
After making sure everything was correct, He Song casually pointed at it.
In an instant, a sound-transmitting paper crane soared into the sky, flying towards the distance.
In the distance…
Spirit Skill Pavilion.
On the second floor,
Ping'er, who was in the midst of her usual cultivation, suddenly opened her eyes.
In her beautiful eyes, there was a hint of confusion. She looked at the sound -transmitting paper crane in front of her.
Sound-transmitting paper crane?
In the Immortal Pavilion, Pinger was only familiar with the people from the Spirit Skill Pavilion.
If people from the Spirit Skill Pavilion wanted to find her, they would just come directly.
Why would someone use the Sound Transmission Skill to contact her?
With confusion and puzzlement, Ping'er released a bit of her own Qi.
Immediately, she saw that the once glowing sound-transmitting paper crane instantly transformed into a thin sheet of paper.
As the thin paper fell into her hands, lines of writing immediately appeared.
"So, he's not dead…"
After finishing the letter, a sudden realization flashed in Ping'er's eyes.
Three years had passed without seeing him,
She thought that He Song had died somewhere.
Otherwise, in these three years, he should have contacted her.
She knew that the small box of tea leaves she had given away at that time was quite valuable.
But she patiently waited, and He Song's messages never came.bender
However, reaching out to He Song directly might have made him think she wanted to profit from her kindness, so she didn't do that.T/his chapter is updat/𝓮d by n𝒐v(ê(l)biin.c/o/m
As a result, three years went by, and deep down, she even thought that her previous efforts were wasted, and He Song, whom she had wanted to befriend, might have already died somewhere.
But now.
Looking at the paper in her hand and the lines of handwriting on it.
She suddenly realized.
It turned out that He Song did not die, but had forgotten about her.
Heartache.
However, she quickly took a deep breath, composed her thoughts, and calmly took out a piece of paper.
"Mr. He has invited me, how can I refuse as a young woman? I don't know where you are, but I will come immediately."
"Pinger."
After receiving Ping'er's reply, He Song thought about it and decided to set the meeting place in a tea house within the Immortal Pavilion.
"I'll be waiting for you at the Flowers Tea House."
However, after releasing the sound-transmitting paper crane, He Song pondered for a moment and quickly placed some Thick Earth Amulet where he could easily pick them up.
He then left and headed straight for the location of the Flowers Tea House.
Inviting someone to his home.
That was absolutely impossible.
Let alone the fact that they had only met three times before, this would make it the fourth meeting.
Even if they had met a hundred and eighty times and become good friends, He Song would think twice before inviting someone to his home.
Now the times are different from the past.
Back then, there were no secrets at home, and inviting someone there was no problem.
Now, with the two Array Skills operating in his home, if someone discovered something suspicious, he would likely be targeted by countless cultivators.
This was a risk He Song did not dare to take.
Flowers Tea House.
Named after its signature Flowers Tea.
Flowers Tea, made from a hundred flower petals with peculiar fragrances.
Once brewed, the floral scent fills the air, as if one is surrounded by a sea of flowers, refreshing both mind and spirit.
When drank, the sweet taste lingers on the lips for three days.
Unfortunately, it is not spirit tea. In the mortal world, Flowers Tea may be worth a fortune.
But in Immortal Pavilion, the price is not too high.
Upon arriving at the Flowers Tea House.
He Song casually entered a private room, and after ordering a pot of Flowers Tea to be set aside, he took out the tea leaves from Ping'er's box and slowly started to brew the tea.
A moment later.
The scent of tea filled the entire private room.
Ping'er arrived.
Today, Ping'er was no longer dressed in the signature clothes of Spirit Skill Pavilion but instead wore a light green mana robe.
The light green mana robe, along with some ornaments, made Ping'er look very different from He Song's impressions.
This attire made Ping'er's already beautiful face even more charming, and her figure even more graceful.
Indeed, clothes make the man.
He Song secretly praised her in his heart, but his face did not reveal anything.
Inviting Ping'er for a drink was just because he suddenly remembered the incident three years ago, and he wanted to see what Ping'er was really up to.
As for the other things, he did have a few questions.
"Mr. He, I've waited for a full three years just for this pot of tea.", said Ping'er as she sat in front of He Song. Her beautiful eyes stared straight at He Song, revealing a pitiful expression.
Three years.
How many sets of three years are there in one's life?
Looking at He Song leisurely brewing tea in front of her, Ping'er had mixed feelings.
She never expected that she would wait for so long after sending a gift and wanting to make friends, only getting a response after three years.
However, meeting He Song face to face, a glint flashed in Ping'er's eyes, and her beautiful eyes suddenly took on a hint of surprise.
Her previous dissatisfaction was suppressed by the surprise.
How did this man… improve his cultivation even faster than herself? In just three short years, he had broken through to the fifth-tier Qi Refining stage.
It should be noted that when they met three years ago, He Song had just broken through to the fourth-tier of Qi Refining.
At that time, she could even sense the spirit power fluctuations on He Song's body due to his recent breakthrough..
Chapter 61: The Art of Escaping
However, three years have passed, and her cultivation is still at the fourth-tier of Qi Refining, without breaking through to the fifth-tier.
But He Song's cultivation has already broken through to the fifth-tier of Qi
Refining.
What does this mean?
It means that He Song managed to break through from the fourth-tier to the fifth-tier in just three years.
Such a rapid improvement in cultivation speed made the surprise in Ping'er's eyes gradually intensify.
His cultivation speed is so fast.
Could it be that the "worldly entanglements" mentioned in the letter are him frantically earning spirit stones?
If so, that seems to make sense.
After imagining all the "hardships" He Song went through in these three years, the slight dissatisfaction in Ping'er's heart instantly vanished.
What replaced it was a faint sense of joy.
Three years.
Three years of crazy cultivation.
If it were her, she might have been exhausted long ago.
He Song still remembered the agreement he made with her three years ago.
He specifically invited her to the Flowers Tea House for a chat.
As expected, she did not misjudge him.
"I am really sorry, fellow daoist. I have been entangled in worldly matters in the past three years, which has taken up much of my energy and mind. I hope you won't blame me."
He Song placed a freshly brewed cup of tea in front of Ping'er, then slightly bowed his hand to her as he spoke.
Worldly entanglements.
Of course, that's an excuse.
But after three years of not seeing each other, he needed to give Ping'er a reason and a chance to step down.
In this way, it could also lessen the grievances in Ping'er's heart.
Aftor 211 nnt dalihorntolxr awnidino hAr hilt
worldly entanglements.
Only now has he finally fulfilled his promise by inviting her.
"It doesn't matter, I haven't lost anything while waiting for your invitation, and since you've invited me now, I certainly won't blame you."
Smelling the tea fragrance, Ping'er took the teacup in front of her and gently sipped it before shaking her head.
Since she discovered He Song's cultivation had reached the fifth-tier of Qi Refining, she had already imagined his situation in these three years.
It must have taken He Song a lot of effort to break through from the fourth-tier of Qi Refining to the fifth-tier in three years.
Temporarily forgetting could be considered excusable.
Now that he has sent the invitation, her goal of befriending He Song has been achieved.
Naturally, she wouldn't say anything weird anymore.
Seeing this, He Song understood that there were no grievances in Ping'er's heart.
Therefore, with He Song trying to test the waters, and Ping'er looking to befriend him, the conversation between the two quickly became harmonious. As they chatted happily, they both felt their relationship grow closer.
With the teapot emptying, and sensing the timing was right,
He Song remembered his purpose for inviting Ping'er.
"Fellow daoist Ping'er, since you are in charge of the Spirit Skill Pavilion, do you know the quickest escape techniques there?" At a certain moment, He Song asked with a bow.
He Song, who had just set up the Illusion Array, needed such a skill now.
That's because only with a skill like this can he carry out his next plan.
Since the Illusion Array and Spirit-Gathering Array have been set up, he just needs to set up a Five Phases Array, and then he can personally move beyond the Immortal Pavilion to create his own spirit field.
Before the Five Phases Array is set up, He Song needs to have everything prepared for establishing a spirit field.
Only in this way could He Song create his own spirit field at the fastest speed after setting up the Five Phases Array.
Not to wait until that time to find a solution in a hurry.
At this moment, He Song's question is the real purpose of inviting Ping'er here.
If it weren't for this, he might not even have thought of Ping'er in front of him after another three years.
"Quick escape techniques? There are a few; let me think about it." Ping'er pondered upon hearing this.
But soon, she spoke again.
"The first technique, Mountain Light Body Skill, a mid-level skill with greater speed than the Light Body Skill. Essential for long-distance travel and escape, valued at fifty spirit stones."
"The second technique, Earth Tunneling Skill, a high-quality skill that allows one to escape underground at incredible speed. However, it should be noted that it is easily countered by the Earthshaking Skill, valued at one hundred spirit stones."
"The third technique…"
"All these skills are in the Spirit Skill Pavilion; if you need them, you can come with me."
There are such skills, but outside the Spirit Skill Pavilion, even if she is one of the stewards, she cannot take them out.
The jade slips that record these skills are all made by Foundation Establishment Masters, and their value is extremely high.
They are equivalent to the service of a Foundation Establishment Master, sold only by the Spirit Skill Pavilion.
If one was lost, the Foundation Establishment Master would blame her, and she wouldn't be able to withstand it.
So she has to suggest He Song come with her to the Spirit Skill Pavilion to make arrangements. Fôll0w current novÊls o/n n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(c/o/m)
"In that case, I'll join you."
When He Song heard this, he nodded and then left the Flowers Tea House with
Pinger.
The two quickly arrived at the Spirit Skill Pavilion.
Spirit Skill Pavilion.
In the VIP room,
Ping'er brewed a pot of spirit tea for He Song and left to fetch the jade slips for him.
He Song casually poured himself a cup, took a nice sip, and suddenly felt an increase in the spirit power within his body.
For a moment, He Song seemed to remember the scene when he first tasted this tea.
This spirit tea, called Green Immortal Spirit Tea, was something He Song had tasted on his second visit to the Spirit Skill Pavilion. It was exclusive to the VIP room.
When He Song first tasted it, he had asked Ping'er about the price of the tea.
He remembered that Ping'er seemed to have mentioned that this Green Immortal Spirit Tea was from the Thick Earth Sect, priced at ten spirit stones per ounce.
Ten spirit stones per ounce.
Not only could the old him not afford to enjoy it, but even now, He Song still could not afford to enjoy it.
It's too expensive!
With He Song's current income of ninety spirit stones per year, he can only buy nine ounces of spirit tea per year.
How many times can you drink nine ounces of spirit tea?
He Song didn't know, and he didn't want to know either.
Perhaps when he has an abundance of spirit stones in the future, he will buy some Green Immortal Spirit Tea to drink slowly at home and enjoy the refreshing feeling of improving his cultivation simply by drinking tea. But now is not the time.
Soon, Ping'er returned to the VIP room with a tray in her hands.
On the tray, several jade slips were shining brightly, making it impossible to look away.
"Fellow daoist, all the quick escape techniques in the Spirit Skill Pavilion are here. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me, and I will answer you to the best of my knowledge."
Placing the tray in front of He Song, Ping'er assured him.
After their previous conversation, the relationship between the two had begun to grow closer.
Now, at the beginning of their friendship, she would naturally not hide anything from He Song.
She had been wanting to befriend He Song for a long time and was quite satisfied with the current outcome.
"Thank you, fellow daoist Ping'er."
He Song poured a cup of spirit tea and placed it in front of Ping'er before thanking her with a smile. Soon after, He Song's gaze focused on the jade slips in the tray..
Chapter 62: Earth Tunneling Skill
Next to the jade slips on the tray, there was a small booklet for each one.
It recorded the contents of the jade slips.
In the past, when Ping'er was not that familiar with He Song, she would only bring the booklets over.
Only when He Song decided what he wanted to buy, would Ping'er go and fetch the jade slip for him.
Not like now, where all the booklets and jade slips were taken out at once.
As such, it could be seen that Ping'er had quite a bit of trust in He Song.
If He Song were really an Evil Cultivator, just grabbing the jade slips and running, Ping'er would be blamed by the Foundation Establishment Master.
At that time, punishment would be inevitable.
He Song naturally understood this.
He also approved of Ping'er's actions.
Picking up a small booklet at random, He Song began to look at it quickly.
"First, Light Body Skill, one of the basic skills, can increase walking speed, must-have for long-distance travel and escaping, worth ten spirit stones."
"Second, Mountain Light Body Skill, a middle-grade technique, faster than Light Body Skill, essential for long-distance travel and escaping, worth fifty spirit stones."
"Third, Earth Tunneling Skill, a high-quality technique, can tunnel into the ground after casting, travel at extreme speed underground, but be careful as it is easily countered by the Earthshaking Skill, worth one hundred spirit stones." Thê sourc𝗲 of this conte/nt n/o/v/(𝒆l)bi((n))
"Fourth, Heavenly Cicada Light Body Skill, a high-quality technique, can briefly hover in the air after casting, travel at extremely fast speed, whether it's for travel or escaping, it is one of the best techniques for Qi Refining stage practitioners, worth one hundred spirit stones."
"Fifth… "
Picking up and putting down the booklets inside the tray repeatedly several times,
He Song eventually finished reading all the booklets, having a general idea about these escape techniques.
He Song had already learned the Light Body Skill, which, although it wasn't slow, wasn't outrageously fast either, probably because it was only a basic skill.
As for the Mountain Light Body Skill,
According to the descriptions in the booklets, it originated from the Thick Earth Sect and was the most commonly used Light Body Skill among the
Qi-refining mid-stage outer disciples of the sect, its speed being very fast.
Although it was only a middle-grade technique, if it were fully used, it could even catch up to a Qi-refining late-stage cultivator using the Light Body Skill.
However, if a Qi-refining late-stage cultivator had also practiced the Mountain Light Body Skill, it would be a different story.
At the same time, because of its tier, the speed of the Mountain Light Body
Skill should be inferior to the high-quality Heavenly Cicada Light Body Skill.
Of course, the Mountain Light Body Skill was also cheaper than the Heavenly Cicada Light Body Skill.
Then there was the Earth Tunneling Skill.
Tunneling into the ground, traveling at an extremely fast speed underground.
According to the descriptions in the booklets, the speed of the Earth Tunneling Skill was very fast, not quite as fast as the Mountain Light Body Skill during underground travel, but not much slower either.
Moreover, since they were underground, if used with the Breath Concealment Formulas, it would be much safer under the condition that no one detected them, it could be considered a technique for quickly escaping silently.
Lastly, the Heavenly Cicada Light Body Skill.
The origins of this skill were unknown, as there was no record of it in the booklet.
However, its characteristic of allowing them to briefly hover in the air made this Heavenly Cicada Light Body Skill especially popular in the Spirit Skill Pavilion.
Cultivators were also human.
Especially Qi-refining practitioners.
For those who hadn't stepped into the Foundation Establishment Stage and couldn't practice the tunneling skills at that stage, they naturally couldn't turn their bodies into tunneling light and travel through the sky like Foundation Establishment Masters.
In this case, their yearning for the sky was evident.
Can't transform into tunneling light?
Then use the Heavenly Cicada Light Body Skill to fly!
Even if they could only hover briefly, it was still a wonderful experience.
Moreover, as a high-quality technique, the Heavenly Cicada Light Body Skill itself had a very fast speed, making it quite suitable for Qi-refining late-stage practitioners to use for travel or escaping.
That was the reason for the Heavenly Cicada Light Body Skill's popularity.
After reading all the booklets, He Song thought for a moment before deciding on the Earth Tunneling Skill.
Safety.
It was the first consideration for He Song.
Neither the Light Body Skill nor the Mountain Light Body Skill, nor even the Heavenly Cicada Light Body Skill, seemed as safe to He Song as the Earth Tunneling Skill.
The Earth Tunneling Skill allowed for traveling underground, not fast, but not slow either, and with the cover of the soil layer, it was obviously safer.
If the Earth Tunneling Skill were used in conjunction with the Breath
Concealment Formulas, as long as they didn't intentionally pay attention,
who could know that there was a cultivator underground using the Earth Tunneling Skill?
In the future, He Song would definitely have to leave the Immortal Pavilion and go elsewhere to open spirit fields repeatedly.
On the way there and back, he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't attract attention every time.
Using the Light Body Skill himself would make him too conspicuous, making it easy for others to follow him.
Earth Tunneling Skill, on the other hand, allowed him to quietly tunnel underground from his home without anyone noticing his departure, and no one would know where He Song went.
Naturally, the more concealed Earth Tunneling Skill became his first choice.
In addition, in case his spirit field was discovered,
He Song, who would be caught in the middle of it, could use the Earth Tunneling Skill to quietly leave with the help of the Five Phases Array buying him some time.
When using the Earth Tunneling Skill in conjunction with the Breath Concealment Formulas, it would be easy to slip away without any precautions.
Although doing so would cost him a spirit field, at least his life would be safe.
After thinking it over in his mind, He Song gently wiped the table.
Instantly.
One hundred spirit stones appeared on the table in front of him.
"Fellow Daoist Ping'er, I'd like to purchase this Earth Tunneling Skill." He Song gave the spirit stones and picked up the jade slip with the Earth Tunneling Skill recorded on it.
Seeing Ping'er nodding slightly and taking away the one hundred spirit stones, He Song naturally pressed the jade slip against his forehead.
The next moment.
A huge amount of information poured into He Song's mind from the jade slip.
Fortunately, He Song's soul was stronger than ordinary cultivators, so he could quickly organize and classify this information and then firmly imprint it in his memory.
Once he returned home, he would be able to start comprehending the Earth Tunneling Skill.
Soon after,
He Song put the jade slip back on the tray.
Then he looked at Pinger.
"Fellow Daoist Ping'er, I also need the Object Controlling Skills and some other middle-grade techniques. Could you please help me fetch them?"
Object Controlling Skills.
Middle- grade technique.
Worth fifty spirit stones.
He Song had heard about it from Ping'er during his last visit to the Spirit Skill Pavilion.
At that time, Ping'er told him that the Object Controlling Skills were of great use.
Unfortunately, He Song didn't have much money at that time and couldn't afford it, so he ended up buying just two basic skills and left with a feeling of disappointment.
Now, three years have passed.
He Song also had some assets, so he naturally thought of this middle-grade technique and wanted to buy it too.
In addition to the Object Controlling Skills, He Song also wanted to buy some other middle-grade techniques, so he asked Ping'er to fetch them all at once so that he could pick and choose.
From the side,
Ping'er saw that He Song had bought the Earth Tunneling Skill and was still not satisfied, and wanted to buy some middle-grade techniques.
Her gaze toward He Song changed instantly.
"Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment, I'll be right back." As she spoke, Ping'er picked up the tray from the table and left, but as she left, she couldn't help but wonder..
Chapter 63: Huge Expenditure
This newfound friend Mr. He was indeed difficult to figure out.
Not only was his cultivation speed remarkable, but he also seemed to have no shortage of spirit stones.
He was able to successfully break through from the fourth-tier of Qi Refining to the fifth-tier in just three years.
After breaking through, he didn't hesitate to spend so many spirit stones on buying skills.
Did He Song have a powerful backer?
Or was he involved in illicit activities like killing and plundering?R/ê/Ad lat𝙚St ch/a/pters at nô(v)e(l)bin/.c/o//m Only
Or perhaps…
Various guesses flashed through Ping'er's mind, but without essential information, she could hardly deduce anything.
Helpless, she could only retrieve some mid-tier skills and return to He Song's side.
"Mr. He, here are the Object Controlling Skills and other mid-tier skills you wanted. Take your time to look."
Placing the tray in front of He Song, Ping'er spoke while keeping her eyes fixed unblinkingly on him.
It was as if she was trying to glean some information from his face.
But at this moment, He Song's expression was as calm as an ancient well, giving her no chance to see anything.
He casually picked up several booklets from the tray, and his gaze quickly focused on two skills.
The first skill.
Object Controlling Skills.
This skill uses the spirit power within the body to manipulate objects, making it extremely useful for attack, defense, or everyday life.
Even after He Song possesses Artifacts later on, the Object Controlling Skills can still manipulate these Artifacts for attacking. This is also a handy trick for Qi Refining cultivators.
The second skill.
It was an attack skill.
Stone Breaking Finger!
By concentrating the spirit power in one's fingers and unleashing it with a specific technique, this skill causes astonishing damage.
Compared to the Spirit Arrow Skill He Song initially learned, the mid-tier Stone Breaking Finger has a stronger killing power and a faster casting speed.
With a single finger, the special spirit power can reach ten meters away. With He Song's current fifth-tier Qi Refining cultivation, he can directly shatter several low-grade Thick Earth Amulets' defenses.
As for the mid-grade Thick Earth Amulet, due to its incredible defense, even He Song's current fifth-tier Qi Refining cultivation would require two activations to break through it.
However, as He Song's cultivation progresses and he becomes more familiar with Stone Breaking Finger, its power and range will also increase.
After obtaining the Earth Tunneling Skill as a quick escape method, He Song chose to make up for his weakness and put attack methods on the agenda.
From now on, as long as He Song fully masters the Earth Tunneling Skill and Stone Breaking Finger to the point that they can be used normally without sacrificing their power, his combat strength will be greatly improved.
For offense, there's Stone Breaking Finger.
For escape, there's Earth Tunneling Skill.
For defense, there's the mid-grade Thick Earth Amulet.
During Qi Refining, unless one has a defensive artifact, no other defensive skill can compare to the effectiveness of the Thick Earth Amulet.
Thick Earth Amulet, a secret spirit amulet of the Thick Earth Sect, enjoys great popularity as a defensive spirit amulet even within the territories of other surrounding Golden Core Sects.
It is easy to imagine the defensive power of a secret spirit amulet from a Golden Elixir Great Faction.
Loose cultivators, noble family members, and sect disciples all possess several Thick Earth Amulets for self-protection during the Qi Refining stage.
He Song was no exception, of course.
"Friend Pinger, I need this Object Controlling Skill and Stone Breaking Finger.
Here are 150 spirit stones."
After making a decision, He Song pointed towards the jade slip for Object Controlling Skills and then the one for Stone Breaking Finger. Next, he casually swiped the table.
Immediately, 150 spirit stones appeared on the table.
Mid-tier skills cost fifty spirit stones.
However, the price of attack skills is doubled.
Therefore, the price of the mid-tier attack skill, Stone Breaking Finger, increased from the original fifty spirit stones to one hundred.
Together, the total came to 150 spirit stones.
Only after Ping'er nodded and collected the spirit stones on the table did He Song pick up the jade slips and put them against his forehead.
Soon enough, He Song had imprinted all information related to Object Controlling Skills and Stone Breaking Finger into his memory.
From now on, all he needs to do is recall slightly, and he can remember these pieces of information.
After completing these tasks, He Song had no intention of lingering in the Spirit Skill Pavilion any longer. After engaging in casual conversation with Ping'er, he took his leave.
Upon leaving the Spirit Skill Pavilion, He Song couldn't help but sigh when sensing the only remaining dozen spirit stones in his storage bag.
Three years.
In three years, He Song could earn ninety spirit stones every year, making a total of 270 spirit stones in three years.
Living frugally, coupled with already having some spirit stones saved up, he had managed to accumulate over two hundred spirit stones.
However, he had just spent a large portion of his savings on three skills, causing his three-year savings to dwindle.
"There's never enough spirit stones."
Sighing inwardly, He Song glanced back at the towering Spirit Skill Pavilion, feeling that it would be best to avoid this place as much as possible in the future.
Every time he visited the Spirit Skill Pavilion in the past decade, his wealth would suffer a great loss.
The first time he came to the Spirit Skill Pavilion, he had over thirty spirit stones and spent thirty on purchasing three basic skills.
His second visit involved carrying over one hundred spirit stones and buying the Array Tao Introduction, costing him another hundred spirit stones.
On the third visit, with over thirty spirit stones, he bought two basic skills, spending another twenty spirit stones.
The fourth time, his current visit, he had an abundance of over two hundred spirit stones.
And yet, he ended up spending 250 spirit stones on three skills.
Well…
True Immortal Pavilion earns the money, and True Immortal Pavilion spends it. So it seems nothing can be taken home?
Although his income has increased, his spending on spirit stones has soared as well.
However, since he has made ample preparations, he should be able to break free from this difficult situation soon.
As long as he can establish his spirit field, his income will surely skyrocket.
By then, life won't be as tight as it is now.
Finally, after one last deep glance at the Spirit Skill Pavilion, He Song turned towards his home and walked away.
Despite being costly, the Spirit Skill Pavilion was able to fulfill He Song's needs.
Whether it was basic skills, mid-tier skills, or high-quality Earth Tunneling Skills, they all catered to his immediate requirements.bender
If he comes again next time, He Song believes that he must be better prepared with more spirit stones.
Returning home, He Song activated the Illusion Array and began practicing his skills under the rich spirit Qi gathered by the Spirit-Gathering Array.
After some deliberation, He Song chose to practice the Object Controlling Skills first.
Before that, Ping'er had mentioned that the scope of use for the Object Controlling Skills was vast.
Whether it was combat, escape, or daily life, Object Controlling Skills could play a significant role.
Therefore, when He Song spent a month mastering the Object Controlling Skills to the point where he could use them freely without diminishing their power, his understanding of the skill deepened further..
Chapter 64: A Late Reward
Object Controlling Skills, manipulating one's spirit power to separate from their body, and controlling objects.
Under He Song's manipulation, anything from tables and chairs to teacups and tea leaves could be controlled like extensions of his own limbs within a range of about 30 meters after being enveloped with spirit power.
If controlling Artifacts in the future, he was afraid the distance would be the same.
A cultivator at the Qi-refining mid stage can project their spirit power at most about 30 meters away from their body.
Of course, the attack range is basically within 30 meters, and the distance of spirit power projection will increase substantially as their cultivation level increases.
Therefore, He Song's control of objects within 30 meters with his spirit power was considered normal.
30 meters distance isn't far, but it isn't near either.
At the Qi-refining late stage, the distance will increase somewhat, probably around 60 meters.
At the Foundation Establishment Stage, it's controlled by divine sense. The distance covered by divine sense scanning in the Foundation Establishment Early Stage is about 2 kilometers.
Such a huge gap gives Qi-refining late-stage cultivators a significant advantage when facing Qi-refining mid-stage cultivators. Whether it's ambush or pursuit, they held a longer advantage.
As for Foundation Establishment Masters:
If surrounded by a group of Qi Refining stage cultivators.
Even if all the attackers were at the Qi-refining late stage.
There would still be no chance for victory.
When controlling Artifacts to attack with divine sense, a Foundation
Establishment Master would he able to kill however many Oi Refining
cultivators come, killing one at the Qi-refining late stage would be even easier than killing a small chick.
For Qi Refining stage cultivators:
Within 2 kilometers, Foundation Establishment Masters were like the sky above.
This is also why there is basically only one Foundation Establishment Master guarding each Immortal Pavilion.
Having a Foundation Establishment Master there, Evil Cultivators wouldn't dare to attack the Immortal Pavilion directly, only daring to do small things on the outside. Naturally, the Immortal Pavilion wouldn't need to arrange a
Defensive Array.
It would be too costly.
On the periphery of the Immortal Pavilion, where the divine senses of Foundation Establishment Masters couldn't reach, they only needed to dispatch the Law Enforcement Team to patrol.
With a Foundation Establishment Master in place, the Immortal Pavilion couldn't fall into chaos.
Any movement, and the wrath of the Foundation Establishment Master would come.
Only the Immortal City would arrange a Defensive Great Array, but it wouldn't be activated all the time.
Of course:
This refers only to the ultimate attack range.
Under the vast majority of circumstances, even when Foundation Establishment Masters fought, they wouldn't start attacking each other with a 2-kilometer gap.
Even late-stage Qi-refining cultivators wouldn't launch an attack from such a distance.
Fights and battles between cultivators required accuracy too.
Apart from Object Controlling Skills:
The second skill He Song practiced was Stone Breaking Finger.
Object Controlling Skills and Stone Breaking Finger are both intermediate skills.
Since he could freely cast Object Controlling Skills without diminishing power after only a month, it should be reasonable that Stone Breaking Finger wouldn't be far off either.
Nothing happened unexpectedly:
Another month later:
He Song activated Stone Breaking Finger and pointed out.
A golden light suddenly shot out from He Song's finger and landed directly on the floor of the room.
He Song only felt a flash of golden light before his eyes and the golden light shot out from his fingertips had disappeared into the darkness underground.
On the floor, only a pitch-black little hole remained, and it was unknown how deep it went.
But in He Song's opinion, it must be deeper than the small hole created by the Spiritual Arrow Skill.
To be noted:R/ê/Ad lat𝙚St ch/a/pters at nô(v)e(l)bin/.c/o//m Only
The Spiritual Arrow Skill is just a small skill in killing spirit field pests.
It can't even be considered a basic skill.
On the other hand, Stone Breaking Finger?
Stone Breaking Finger is an intermediate attack skill!
It cost He Song a hundred spirit stones to purchase it from the Spirit Skill Pavilion.
The power of these two skills could be easily imagined, and there was no comparability.
However. since he was in the Immortal Pavilion. He Song couldn't test the
specific power of the Stone Breaking Finger.
Left with no choice, after he could freely cast Stone Breaking Finger without losing power each day, he devoted some time to practicing and then started using the rest of his time to practice Earth Tunneling Skill, the one high-quality skill he had left to learn!
Earth Tunneling Skill:
It was the only high-quality skill He Song had purchased.
When cast, it allowed the user to travel in the ground at an extremely fast speed.
It was also the key skill He Song relied on when he was out cultivating spirit fields.
As soon as He Song started to learn it, he immediately felt that Earth Tunneling Skill was abstruse and difficult to understand; it might not be something he could learn within a short period of time.bender
However, even so:
He still practiced Earth Tunneling Skill every day in the hopes of mastering it swiftly.
Yet:
While He Song was engrossed in studying Earth Tunneling Skill and couldn't extricate himself, the surprise visit of a person broke the calmness of his original life.
In the third month after He Song got the three skills from the Spirit Skill Pavilion:
One day:
"Mr. He, quickly open the door. I've brought your reward." Zhao Lin's voice came from outside the house, causing He Song, who was still practicing Earth Tunneling Skill, to open his eyes suddenly.
Zhao Lin was the connection He Song left behind when Meng Guan went to the Red Spirit Gold Mine to mine.
When He Song had just broken through to the Qi-refining mid stage, it was Zhao Lin who kindly helped him with the matter of adding new spirit fields, which allowed him to save a lot of time each day.
However, it also made Chen Zhou hate He Song. In the end, He Song had no choice but to send Chen Zhou to Yama's place.
He came today to see himself and even said it was to give out a reward?
What reward?
Full of doubts, He Song opened the door and welcomed Zhao Lin in.
After more than three years, the relationship between He Song and Zhao Lin hadn't become strange; instead, they had become more familiar since both were in the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion.
As the two were already good friends, and now they were even closer. With the Illusion Array hiding the two arrays inside the room, He Song didn't worry about being discovered and didn't refuse Zhao Lin to enter his residence.
But just as He Song led Zhao Lin into the room, a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind.
He remembered!
Before sending Chen Zhou to see Yama, He Song had informed Zhao Lin in advance and asked him to remove Chen Zhou's name from the list of spiritual plant farmers. Zhao Lin said at that time:
He said that Chen Zhou had bullied the weak, extorted spirit stones, and committed all kinds of evils; ridding of him by He Song was considered a great merit. He wanted to apply for a merit reward for He Song and said he would personally deliver the reward to He Song's doorstep.
Originally, after three years had passed, Zhao Lin didn't get to apply for the reward, so He Song gradually forgot about it.
He thought that Zhao Lin was not careful enough at work.
Little did he expect that after several years, Zhao Lin would indeed bring him the reward today?
This… was a complete surprise!
Thinking of this, He Song looked at Zhao Lin with a hint of interest in his eyes.
The delayed reward for three years:
Finally arrived today.
He just didn't know what the reward was.
He Song didn't rush it, and though he was curious in his heart, he didn't ask directly.
Instead, after welcoming Zhao Lin into the room, he leisurely started to make a pot of good tea for him.
When the room was filled with the aroma of tea, He Song then asked:
"Fellow Daoist, where does this reward come from? As far as I know, though
I'm a spiritual plant farmer, I don't think I've made any contributions to the
Immortal Pavilion. Why would there be a reward?"
Telling lies with his eyes wide open, He Song was indeed an expert.
Although he had already remembered where the reward came from, He Song simply pretended that he didn't recall it..
Chapter 65: Internal News
After all, this matter couldn't be out in the open.
The reward was also personally applied for by Zhao Lin for He Song. R/ê/Ad lat𝙚St ch/a/pters at nô(v)e(l)bin/.c/o//m Only
This belated credit naturally had to be spoken by Zhao Lin himself to make it seem even more cherished.
He Song, who had been friends with Zhao Lin for several years, had some understanding of the character of his friend before him.
A word of gratitude from him would make Zhao Lin happy for a long time.
However.
It was He Song who had someone kill an Immortal Pavilion cultivator who wanted to harm him.
As a result, after Zhao Lin's operation, it became He Song who had rooted out the Evil Cultivator hidden in the Immortal Pavilion.
And even applied for a reward on this basis.
This… if it weren't for the fact that he was manipulating everything, He Song might have believed his nonsense.
So considerate of himself.
It was only natural for He Song not to skimp on just a word of gratitude to Zhao Lin.
"Fellow Daoist is being too modest. As a spiritual plant farmer, it means you are working for the Immortal Pavilion, and your contributions will naturally be noted by the Immortal Pavilion. There's no such thing as no contribution."
Shaking his head, Zhao Lin affirmed He Song's contribution to the Immortal Pavilion.
Meanwhile, his right hand wiped the table.
Immediately, a delicate small box appeared in front of He Song.
"Fellow Daoist often forget things. Three years ago, you eliminated a great harm for the Immortal Pavilion. Such merit cannot be said to be without contribution. Now, the Immortal Pavilion has issued a reward, and I naturally have to deliver it personally."
Zhao Lin pushed the small box in front of him towards He Song, and his face was filled with a smile, but he did not mention his efforts in this matter.
Three years ago.
When the sound-transmitting paper crane released by He Song fell into his hands.
The hint of Qi-refining late stage energy contained in it had greatly shocked him at the time.
Not until then.
Did he finally understand.
Why Meng Guan had specially instructed him to hang out with He Song before leaving.
Not until then.
Did he finally understand.
Why He Song was able to come to his door on the day Meng Guan left, bringing gifts and making friends.
Not until then… did everything seem to have an answer.
That was one reason why he had agreed so readily back then.
Although he was naturally cautious, he was already friends with He Song three years ago, and naturally would be even more cautious when facing a matter that could affect one's life and death.
Worried about retaliation from Chen Zhou afterwards.
Worried about being held accountable by the Immortal Pavilion afterwards.
Worried…
But.
When he sensed the breath of a Qi-refining late stage cultivator on the sound -transmitting paper crane released by He Song, his doubts disappeared. With a Qi-refining late stage cultivator taking action, Chen Zhou was bound to die!
In the absence of any worries, and also being able to make good impressions with He Song.
Even if he was cautious by nature, he couldn't refuse this matter.
And that was also why he had agreed so readily back then and even specially applied for a reward for He Song.
He knew that with this Qi-refining late stage cultivator, this matter would definitely succeed!
Now.
The matter had indeed succeeded.
Although three years had passed, he still delivered the reward to He Song's hands for the first time as he had said back then.
"So that's the reason. Thanks to Fellow Daoist's help for this matter, without your help, there might have been complications. I have to thank Fellow Daoist first.
Hearing this, He Song's face instantly showed an appropriately astounded expression.
And while thanking him, he also stood up and cupped his hands towards Zhao Lin to show his gratitude.
He Song naturally acted like this.
He took the benefit himself.
Naturally, he had to express his gratitude to the good friend who had helped him with the matter, and show his appreciative attitude.
People should give and take, they give real benefits, and naturally, you should also give something in return.
Not to mention more, you must at least show an appreciative attitude.
He didn't know what was in that little box, but even if it was just a few spirit stones, he still gained from it.
A few words of gratitude could earn a few spirit stones.
SUCH good fortune, if it were to be known, many cultivators would be bleeding for it.
"It's a small matter, it's just a small matter fellow Daoist. Being able to help you, I am already very happy." Zhao Lin's face was smiling as he hurriedly returned the greeting.
But looking at the laughter between his eyebrows, He Song knew that Zhao Lin's mood was very good at this moment.
Seeing this, He Song suddenly understood that his goal had been achieved.
In the next few days.
Zhao Lin's mood would probably be very good.
As for this, He Song was naturally happy to see it happen.
He got the benefits.
His friend got a good mood.
It was the best of both worlds.
He Song accepted the small box, and Zhao Lin's purpose of coming here was achieved.
Next, the two naturally began to chat casually.
"Fellow Daoist, do you know why the reward had to come at this time, not earlier or later?" After a few cups of tea, Zhao Lin lowered his voice and spoke mysteriously.
From his words, it seemed that there was some secret hidden within.
He Song was intrigued and immediately became interested in the matter.
Right.
It has been three years.
In these three years, He Song had almost forgotten about it.
Why did the reward suddenly come through?
Looking at Zhao Lin's mysterious appearance, He Song suddenly realized that what Zhao Lin was about to say next must have something to do with this matter.
However.
To get Zhao Lin to explain in detail.
He had to ask first.
"I don't know about this. Does Fellow Daoist have any inside information?" Shaking his head, He Song also lowered his voice and asked.
On the side, seeing He Song playing by the rules, Zhao Lin's face immediately showed a fleeting joy.
Since he had received this secret information, he had never told anyone about it, and had kept it bottled up in his heart.
The feeling of knowing a secret.
But not being able to share it with others.
It was a little uncomfortable.
Now, by personally delivering the reward to He Song, he could finally talk freely.
After all, this is the outer area of the Immortal Pavilion, even if this information is heard by someone, it won't harm anything.
With his mind made up, Zhao Lin began to speak. "Fellow Daoist, do you remember the cultivator named Chen Zhou three years
He Song nodded and gestured for Zhao Lin to continue.
"Since Fellow Daoist remembers, you should also remember the reason why I asked for credit for you back then."
Taking a light sip from his teacup, Zhao Lin's voice sounded again.
"At that time, when I asked for credit for Fellow Daoist, I said that Chen Zhou bullied the weak and extorted spirit stones every day, committing all kinds of evil deeds, and his crimes were extremely heinous."
Saying this, Zhao Lin looked at He Song with a hint of sentiment on his face.
Then he shook his head and continued speaking in detail.
"This matter actually has a reason." "Six years ago, after the Immortal Pavilion suffered a great calamity, the low-level cultivators of the Immortal Pavilion were almost cut off. Most of the surviving cultivators had means to not suffer hardship in that calamity.."
Chapter 66: Law Enforcement in Immortal City
"The remaining first-tier Qi Refining cultivators are far from enough to maintain the normal operation of the Immortal Pavilion. Therefore, the Upper Leader ordered the recruitment of loose cultivators to join the Immortal
Pavilion and ensure its normal operation."
"Chen Zhou joined the Immortal Pavilion during that time, through my introduction."
"Regarding the Chen Zhou incident, I admit it was my fault that has caused you some trouble."
While saying this, Zhao Lin gave He Song a bow, taking the blame.
Because of this, he was originally very eager to fight for more benefits for He Song.
Although he did help in the matter of Chen Zhou, he still felt somewhat guilty in his heart.
He Song didn't mind.
He waved his hand, indicating that the matter was over, and there was no need to mention it again.
Seeing this, Zhao Lin relaxed and continued to speak.
"After experiencing the Chen Zhou incident, you should understand the significant difference between loose cultivators and the cultivators of our Immortal Pavilion. Loose cultivators have eccentric personalities and do things unscrupulously, while cultivators of the Immortal Pavilion are not like that."
"Recruiting loose cultivators to join the Immortal Pavilion is an act born out of necessity. Only in this way can we maintain the normal operation of the Immortal Pavilion."
"However, six years have passed, and many loose cultivators who have just stepped into the first-tier Qi Refining stage have entered the Immortal Pavilion from the mortal world. Now, the number of people within the
Immortal Pavilion is enough to maintain its normal operation."
"Even the Upper Leader has specifically instructed to recruit more loose cultivators who have just entered the Cultivation World."
"As a result, the loose cultivators who were recruited six years ago have become unstable factors within the Immortal Pavilion."
At this time,
Zhao Lin paused in his speech and looked at He Song.
But He Song, at this moment, was already lost in thought while holding his teacup.
Seeing this, Zhao Lin did not rush to tell He Song the internal information he had learned. Instead, he slowly drank tea from his cup, like He Song. Th.ê most uptod/at𝓮 n𝒐vels a/re published on n(0)velbj)n(.)c/o/m
Inside the room,
It suddenly became extremely quiet.
Only wisps of tea fragranceoverflowed from the teapot, drifting continuously through the room.
After a long time,
He Song put down his teacup and sighed softly.
"It seems someone wants to take action against these loose cultivators."
In the past, when he learned from Wei Fan that Chen Zhou bullied the weak, extorted spirit stones and committed countless terrible actions, He Song had already guessed this.
Regardless of Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion or other Immortal Pavilions,
Their entire existence is to serve the sects they belong to.
The existence of the Immortal Pavilion can not only gather loose cultivators who have just entered the Cultivation World for easy management,
but also select some morally upright talents from these loose cultivators to join the Immortal Pavilion and become cultivators within the Immortal Pavilion.
Loose cultivators who don't pass the selection are left to fend for themselves. Their deaths have nothing to do with the Immortal Pavilion, no matter where they die.
This is also the reason why the rent for the Immortal Pavilion is so expensive.
Upwards in the Immortal Pavilion hierarchy, they do not care whether loose cultivators can live in the Immortal Pavilion or obtain enough resources; they only care about the cultivators within the Immortal Pavilion.
As for the high-ranking members of the sect, they do not care about the life and death of loose cultivators and Immortal Pavilion cultivators. In their eyes, only the disciples of the sect are the hope for the sect's inheritance.
One could say that the cultivators of the Immortal Pavilion are, in a way, alternative sect disciples.
However, compared to the better gifted sect disciples, Immortal Pavilion cultivators need to rely on their own efforts to continue cultivation. At the same time, they also don't have much support and only have some power within the Immortal Pavilion, but the sect does not recognize them.
Sect disciples, on the other hand, don't need to perform miscellaneous tasks daily and can focus solely on cultivation.
After being selected as an internal cultivator of the Immortal Pavilion, they can continue to cultivate in a stable environment.
Qi Refining Early Stage, Qi-refining mid stage, and even Qi-refining late stage.
When these morally upright and promising talents reach the Qi-refining late stage, they need to join the other loose cultivators who have barely reached the Qi-refining late stage and begin to contribute to the sect.
Almost all cultivation skills released by sects or aristocratic families will have a catch when cultivating to the Qi-refining late stage. You need to purchase unique resources from within the sect to make rapid progress.
This is also the reason why Meng Guan needed to earn enough resources in Green Wall Immortal City when he stepped into the Qi-refining late stage.
Whether they are Qi-refining late-stage loose cultivators,
Or Qi-refining late-stage Immortal Pavilion cultivators,
Both need to purchase Crumbled Jade Powder produced by Thick Earth Sect to speed up their cultivation progress during the Qi-refining late stage.
Don't want to buy? Then watch as others progress quickly, while your own cultivation speed remains as slow as a snail.
Therefore, one can constantly earn spirit stones from loose cultivators and Immortal Pavilion cultivators.
At the same time, after cultivating the sect's cultivation skill, once a loose cultivator or an Immortal Pavilion cultivator luckily breaks through Foundation Establishment, joining the sect becomes their best choice.
No need to change their cultivation skill, leave their hometown, and there are even higher-level cultivation skills available within the sect.
In this way, the temptation to loose cultivators for Foundation Establishment and Immortal Pavilion cultivators for Foundation Establishment is extremely great.
In this closely-connected situation, the sect can ensure that all Building Foundation cultivators within the sphere of influence of the sect can join the sect, and that there will be no instances of newly broke through Foundation Establishment cultivators running to rival sects.
Under such premise,
the sect naturally prefers to acquire a morally upright Foundation Establishment cultivator with great affection for the sect.
Rather than an eccentric, indifferent-to-the-sect loose cultivator for Foundation Establishment.
Now,
Since the internal cultivators of the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion are enough to operate the Immortal Pavilion,
Those eccentric loose cultivators, who still act on their own after becoming Immortal Pavilion cultivators, can only be eliminated.
They can't let one rotten apple spoil the whole barrel.
The existence of the Immortal Pavilion is the foundation of the sect's power.
In the past, they were left unchecked because they didn't cause much destruction, and the Immortal Pavilion needed to operate, so it had to resort to such a strategy.
But now, the number of Immortal Pavilion cultivators is enough to support the operation of the Immortal Pavilion.
Such corrupt practices can't be allowed to continue!
"Yes, this time, it was initiated by the Immortal Pavilion's higher-ups and led by Green Wall Immortal City. Cultivators of the Immortal City Law
Enforcement Team were sent to various Immortal Pavilions to investigate those notorious cultivators."
"In this way, your rewards can be applied for, and the atmosphere in the Immortal Pavilion will return to its past state."
Seeing that He Song already guessed, Zhao Lin no longer kept it a secret but revealed everything with a sigh.
The information he received was just that.
According to the speed of Qi Refining cultivators, it is expected that the cultivators of the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team will arrive at Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion soon.
By then… there will likely be a bloody storm within the Immortal Pavilion.
However, this can be considered a good thing as well.
At least after that, the atmosphere in the Immortal Pavilion will improve significantly.
Moreover,
This action is aimed at those notorious cultivators who joined the Immortal Pavilion six years ago.
For him, He Song, and even those cultivators who have been obeying the rules since joining the Immortal Pavilion, there is no target. Naturally, he doesn't have to worry about anything either.
"Notorious cultivators?
Sitting next to him, He Song was shocked after hearing Zhao Lin's words. Immediately afterward, images of what he had seen in his previous life appeared in his mind..
