Chapter 173: Chapter 173: 3 Years Later

However, even though He Song thought this way in his heart, he knew that it was just his own wishful thinking.

Secluding himself and achieving Qi Refining great perfection all at once.

It seems very beautiful.

But he would miss many things.

For example…

Three years later.

He Song had already cultivated the Mountain Escaping Skill to the point where he could use it freely and without losing its power.

At the same time, during these three years, the Qi Sinking into Elixir Field Skill was finally understood by He Song and he could use it at any time to place all the spirit power hidden in his body into the Elixir Field.

In addition to practicing, He Song did not forget his great plan for farming.

The new spirit field outside his cave mansion had been completely turned into a spirit field, and he even harvested one crop, yielding tens of thousands of pounds of spirit rice.

Besides that, He Song had also planted spirit medicines in the medicinal gardens that he had opened up.

However, the time required for spirit medicines to grow was too long, and they still had not matured up to now.

Seeing this, He Song could only wait patiently for the spirit medicines to mature.

After all, he didn't have a small jade bottle, and it was impossible to instantly mature the newly planted spirit medicines to the level of hundreds or thousands of years.

Fortunately, he had a long life ahead of him.

He didn't have to compete against time like other cultivators.

The cave mansion was well-managed by He Song.

In fact, he even remembered the one hundred spirit fields he had opened up elsewhere.

In these three years, He Song harvested three spirit fields and sold two batches of spirit rice, making a profit of more than thirty thousand spirit stones.

He Song saved up these thirty thousand spirit stones, apart from the necessary expenditures.

By now, He Song already possessed six Foundation Establishment Elixirs.

At least in his first attempt at Foundation Establishment, he would not need to exchange for additional Foundation Establishment Elixirs.

Only after his first attempt of Foundation Establishment failed would He Song need to go back to the Thick Earth Sect to exchange for the second Foundation Establishment attempt.

Therefore, He Song, who had not yet attempted Foundation Establishment for the first time, did not intend to use the spirit stones on his body to exchange for Foundation Establishment Elixirs.

Save up the spirit stones.

If his first Foundation Establishment attempt was successful, the saved spirit stones could be used as his startup capital during the Foundation Establishment Stage.

At that time, high-quality artifacts and Foundation Establishment skills would all require spirit stones.

He Song saved up the spirit stones also intending to plan for the future.

Of course, if he failed in his first attempt at Foundation Establishment, the saved spirit stones could be used to purchase additional Foundation Establishment Elixirs.

He now possessed more than one hundred acres of spirit field.

With so many spirit fields, he could earn more than ten thousand spirit stones per year.

Almost one Foundation Establishment Elixir per year.

Such a terrifying speed of earning spirit stones made He Song secretly click his tongue.

He merely mastered some introductory Array Skills, and he could already earn so many spirit stones.

How about those sects, those aristocratic families…

A thought suddenly struck He Song.

He was different from those sects and aristocratic families.

His earnings, aside from the cost of running the array, all belonged to himself.

For the people from those sects and aristocratic families, they needed to calculate the expenses for inviting Array Path Masters, the cost of stationing people in the spirit fields, the cost of running the array annually, and the wages for the spiritual plant farmers to manage the spirit fields.

With so many costs calculated, the spirit stones they could earn would definitely be much less than him.

Moreover, the spirit stones they earned would most likely be used to sustain the sect or aristocratic family.

Maybe, most of the income would have to be handed over to the Upper Sect as protection money.

Thus, the more they earned, the more they spent.

Those sects and aristocratic families might not be as free and easy as he is.

After all, he was the kind of person who had control over the means of production and could support his whole family by himself.

Such a person could live freely wherever he went, right?

With this thought in mind, He Song's mind began to wander. But soon he was awakened by the light appearing at his side.

Inside the meditation room.

He Song, who had been cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes.

His gaze swept around before letting out a sigh of relief.

“A Sound Transmission Amulet? Has the day for Wei to leave arrived?”

Three years ago, before He Song went into seclusion, he had thought about Wei Fan leaving the Thick Earth Sect in three years and being sent to the front lines of the Mountain Immortal City.

Now, three years have passed, and when He Song saw the glowing Sound Transmission Amulet, he naturally understood who was looking for him.

He picked up the Sound Transmission Amulet.

Opened it.

Took out a thin piece of paper from it.

He Song's eyes scanned it, and immediately a knowing look appeared in his eyes.

“Fellow Daoist He, I have been in the Foundation Establishment Stage for ten years, and now that I have fully mastered the power of Foundation Establishment, it is time for us to part.”

“Last night, the Sect Leader sent a message to me, assigning me to the Mountain Immortal City, stationed there with Lao Meng.”

“Today, I came to find Fellow Daoist but found that the place where you reside is empty. Has something happened?”

“If nothing has happened, I hope Fellow Daoist will return to Thick Earth Sect as soon as possible. I would like to say goodbye in person.”

“Wei Fan.”

He Song sighed as he put away the thin paper in his storage bag.

He had known this day would come a long time ago.

Even on the day Meng Guan left the sect, he had thought about the arrival of this day.

But…

When Wei Fan was truly sent to the front line of Mountain Immortal City by the Sect Leader, He Song couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

During these three years, although He Song spent most of the time in the cave mansion, due to his extensive connections, he was not isolated from the news.

Three years had passed.

The war between the Thick Earth Sect and the Seven Star Sect had gradually escalated.

At first, it was just Qi Refining cultivators fighting against each other.

It evolved later to Foundation Establishment Stage Masters joining the fight. By now, several Foundation Establishment Stage Masters from both sides had died.

He Song didn't recognize any of the Foundation Establishment Stage Masters who died on the Thick Earth Sect's side.

However, not being in the Thick Earth Sect, He Song could clearly sense the increasingly oppressive atmosphere within the sect.

Under the circumstance where their own side had an advantage in terms of higher-level fighters,

Golden Elixir Masters were not participating in the battles.

Instead, they let their Foundation Establishment Stage Masters and Qi Refining disciples compete against each other. This made He Song totally puzzled.

But eventually,

He wasn't a Golden Elixir Master, so although he was curious, he didn't know any better.

His only conclusion was that the two Golden Elixir Masters within the Thick Earth Sect had other considerations in mind.

However, no matter how hard he tried, He Song couldn't understand their rationale.

Now that Wei Fan was being sent to Mountain Immortal City, He Song felt a little depressed.

Meng Guan had been living on the edge even during his Qi Refining stage.

Hence, his title Master Duan Hun was achieved during his Qi Refining stage with his Soul-Broken Sword.

One could say that Meng Guan had extremely rich combat experience.

After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, he lived quite carefree in Mountain Immortal City.

But Wei Fan was different from Meng Guan.

From the beginning, Wei Fan had been in safe environments.

Whether it was at the Thick Earth Mansion, Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion, Green Wall Immortal City, or later when he arrived at the Thick Earth Sect,

All these areas were extremely safe.

The number of fights that Wei Fan had experienced in his life were likely very few.

Under such circumstances, just ten years after breaking through Foundation Establishment, he was sent to defend the Mountain Immortal City.

It was not difficult to imagine how dangerous Wei Fan's mission would be. “Alas, I'll wait until I see Wei and then try to persuade him to be cautious in the

Mountain Immortal City and not to venture out.”

“There's only so much I can do.”

Standing up from the cushion, He Song sighed in his heart as he walked towards the exit of the cave mansion.

There was no other way.

If Wei Fan wanted to survive this war,

Being cautious was the only way to go.

Wei Fan was not Meng Guan, who could eat and drink in Mountain Immortal City for five years.

If Wei Fan wasn't careful, he might lose his life.

After leaving the cave mansion,

He Song stepped out and immediately headed towards the Thick Earth Sect's gate.

At the same time,

He sensed the spirit power within his body.

When he discovered that the spirit power in his body was gradually becoming abundant, and he should be able to reach the Qi Refining great perfection soon, A flash of delight appeared in his eyes.

After three years of cultivation, He Song was just one step away from Qi Refining great perfection.

Maybe, in another month, or at most two months, He Song would be able to step into Qi Refining great perfection, making Foundation Establishment within reach.

Three years, huh.

During these three years,

He Song had been in a small Spirit-Gathering Array, enjoying the spirit Qi gathered by the array alone.

Although his absorption of spirit Qi was slow due to his cultivation base, he was still cultivating at full speed.

In addition to other things that could improve his cultivation base,

He Song's growth of spirit power within his body during these three years was not slow at all, and even faster than when he was in the Thick Earth Sect.

Under these circumstances, He Song was able to raise his cultivation base to the level of near Qi Refining great perfection just five years after breaking through the ninth-tier Qi Refining.

This time, if it weren't for Wei Fan wanting to see him,

He Song's plan of reaching Qi Refining great perfection through one seclusive cultivation session might have actually been realized.

But it didn't matter.

Meeting Wei Fan wouldn't take long.

At most one day, he could return to the Thick Earth Sect.

Once he returned to the cave mansion, it would only take him another month, or two months, to achieve Qi Refining great perfection.

With such thoughts in mind, He Song quickened his pace, wishing he could immediately go to the Thick Earth Sect and meet Wei Fan.

A few hours later,

He Song returned to the Thick Earth Sect.

Without stopping,

He Song's figure quickly appeared outside Wei Fan's cave mansion.

At the same time,

Wei Fan's cave mansion door slowly opened.

“Seems like nothing has happened. However, Mr. He, you should be careful outside. With the war between our sect and the Seven Star Sect underway, there might be disciples of diabolism coming into our sect's territory to cause

“Mr. He, you must be cautious.”

As soon as he saw He Song, Wei Fan took the initiative to remind him.

Before, when he went to He Song's courtyard to find him, he found that the courtyard had long been empty.

Under such circumstances, Wei Fan searched in the sect for a while but couldn't find He Song..
