Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

Visit 𝘧𝘳ℯℯ𝓌ℯ𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂 for the best novel reading experience

However, judging by the urgency of the other party when they left, He Song had a feeling that things probably didn't bode well for them.

The high mortality rate among loose cultivators was no joking matter.

As for the old man and the little girl who had recently moved in, the old man had a kind and gentle demeanor, and the little girl was lively and adorable. He Song became somewhat acquainted with them.

The old man was named Su Jin.

The little girl was named Su Yan.

They were grandfather and granddaughter.

According to Su Jin, Su Yan was his biological granddaughter from the mortal world.

Since she had a spirit root, he brought her from the mortal world and taught her personally.

In the Cultivation World, most cultivation families came about in this way.

Now, the old man and the little girl represented the beginnings of a cultivation family.

This bloodline-based family was extremely reliable. If a few more cultivators with spirit roots were to emerge,

there might be another new cultivation family in the Cultivation World.

"Little Yan is so well-behaved; Song will bring you some snacks next time." Squeezing Su Yan's little face, He Song responded to her while glancing at Su Jin.

"I visited a friend today, Sir Su; are you going to set up a stall?" With his sixth-tier Qi Refining, it was only natural for He Song to address Su Jin as 'Sir'.

Similarly, although Su Jin seemed old and his age was indeed quite high, he actually worked as a loose cultivator, which was similar to Lin Cong.

Lin Cong had a low cultivation base, so he had to cooperate with others to hunt demonic beasts in the outside world to earn spirit stones.

However, Su Jin was different. With his sixth-tier Qi Refining, he had plenty of artifacts and spirit amulets and often engaged in combat.

Thus, even if he went out alone, he could still kill demonic beasts and earn spirit stones.

Moreover, all the proceeds from killing demonic beasts went to him alone.

This allowed him to earn a lot more spirit stones than the average person.

As for the stall mentioned by He Song, it referred to the practice of Su Jin hunting demonic beasts and then selling their corpses at a stall in the Immortal Pavilion.

"Mhm, Little Yan wanted to go out and have fun, so I'm taking her to the Stall Section to play." With an indulgent look at Su Yan, Su Jin nodded at He Song, signaling to leave first.

He Song bowed his hand in acknowledgment.

Only Su Yan, even though Su Jin was dragging her away, still had her eyes glued to He Song.

Later, when they had walked far away, she would still occasionally turn back and glance at He Song.

It seemed as if she was checking whether He Song actually had any snacks.

However, He Song didn't notice any of this.

He opened the door, entered the room, and locked the door.

Soon, He Song was once again immersed in the Array Tao Introduction in his mind.

Studying the array tao was the most important thing He Song needed to do at the moment.

Once he entered the array tao, successfully set up the Spirit-Gathering Array, his cultivation speed would increase once more.

At that point, f(r)eenovelkiss.com

even if he didn't help others set up the arrays for high rewards, He Song could still quietly make a fortune and quickly grow his cultivation base.

It's hard to enter the array tao.

Nevertheless, once it is entered, there is a lot to gain.

Take the Spirit-Gathering Array as an example.

To help others set up a Spirit-Gathering Array, the general reward is three hundred spirit stones.

A single Spirit-Gathering Array, three hundred spirit stones!

That's equivalent to He Song's current two-year income!

Setting up one Spirit-Gathering Array takes little time, but the income it generates is quite terrifying.

There are many reasons for this.

First, very few Array Path Masters can set up Array Skills; it's almost impossible to encounter one in ordinary circumstances.

Second, once a Spirit-Gathering Array or any other array is laid out, it almost exists forever. With a mere addition of spirit stones to activate it, it remains effective.

Third, once an Array Path Master sets up an array for someone, they're more likely to be targeted for robbery. Therefore, Array Path Masters usually don't risk setting up arrays for others. If they were attacked, they probably couldn't even escape.

While studying the Array Tao Introduction, He Song had already made up his mind not to help others set up arrays.

Although the income from helping others set up arrays is extremely high,

However, the risk involved is by no means small.

As an everlasting being, He Song seeks safety and stability, not risking his life for temporary gains.

That is a path to death.

Not He Song's path.

Therefore, He Song already had a plan on how to earn spirit stones through the Array Tao before purchasing the Array Tao Introduction.

As long as he uses that method.

Even if he doesn't set up arrays for others, he can still make a fortune in spirit stones.

An idea crossed his mind, and He Song's comprehension of Array Tao Introduction became even more enthusiastic.

...

In the following days.

He Song led a repetitive life day after day.

Every morning after his cultivation ended, he went to the spirit field and used the Spirit Rain Skill for half an hour.

After finishing the Spirit Rain Skill, if he had any tasks, he would complete them.

If there were no tasks, he would return home to recover his spirit power.

When his spirit power was fully restored, he would start comprehending the Array Tao Introduction.

If his mental energy was exhausted, he would cultivate for a while, and then continue comprehending.

Thus,

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝐞𝐰𝐞𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝐞𝐥.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Time flies.

In a flash, half a month went by.

On this day,

While He Song was at home pondering the Array Tao Introduction, he heard a knock on the door.

Thud, thud, thud.

Before He Song could open the door, Lin Cong's excited voice came from outside.

"Mr. He, I have successfully broken through to the Qi-refining mid stage. Today, I'll host a celebration at Osmanthus Pavilion, and we won't leave until we are drunk!"

Hearing Lin Cong's familiar voice, He Song's face lit up with joy.

A month ago, Lin Cong had told him that he was going into seclusive cultivation to break through to the Qi-refining mid stage.

After so much time had passed, He Song thought that Lin Cong had failed.

Unexpectedly, today, Lin Cong had successfully broken through and came to share the good news with him right away.

This surprise brought both shock and happiness to He Song.

He was shocked that it took Lin Cong a whole month to break through.

He was happy that Lin Cong had indeed successfully advanced to the Qi-refining mid stage.

With this, he had another good friend at the Qi-refining mid stage, and his roots within Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion grew deeper.

At the same time, Lin Cong's breakthrough would give He Song a deeper understanding of the bottleneck between the Qi Refining Early Stage and Qi-refining mid stage.

Opening the door,

He Song invited Lin Cong into the house.

As they sat down at the table, He Song raised his hands to congratulate Lin Cong.

"Congratulations, my friend, for your great cultivation progress. Foundation Establishment is surely in your future." He Song bowed his hands to Lin Cong and then handed him a cup of hot tea.

Sitting at the table, Lin Cong's face beamed even more upon hearing He Song's congratulations.

Over the many years they had known each other,

He Song had always kept a low profile, seemingly detached from the outside world.

Even becoming friends with his neighbor took several years, but eventually, they were close enough to drink tea and chat together on a daily basis.

Now hearing He Song's congratulations, Lin Cong felt quite proud.

He was now a Qi-refining mid-stage cultivator!

In Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion, although there were many cultivators at this level, their status was still higher than those at the Qi Refining Early Stage.

A flash of ambition crossed Lin Cong's mind, causing his smile to grow even broader.

"It's just luck, just luck. Mr. He, do you have time now? Let's go to the Osmanthus Pavilion and drink until we're drunk!"
