Chapter 67: Early Preparation
Theres nothing new under the sun.
Such a scene made it hard for He Song not to think of something.
What kind of cultivator could be called notorious?
Who would determine?
Who would execute?
Perhaps, only the members of the Law Enforcement Team from Immortal City have such authority.
But who can guarantee that those members of the Law Enforcement Team from Immortal City wont be blinded by greed, killing the innocent, taking credit and seizing resources for themselves?
Keep in mind.
They, coming from Immortal City, have great power and their cultivation is probably not low.
If they really want to do something, the cultivators living on the outskirts of Immortal Pavilion would not be able to resist.
At that time
He Songs face darkened slightly, feeling a sudden cold sweat on his back.
If such a situation were to occur, would the wealthy cultivators of Immortal Pavilion, those without a background, or even himself become notorious cultivators?
With power in hand, the members of the Law Enforcement Team from Immortal City can determine at will; naturally, who is considered a notorious cultivator depends entirely on their mood.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to seize resources wouldnt be impossible either.
He Song looked at Zhao Lin beside him.
After thinking for a while, He Song decided to give him a reminder.
Taoist friend, when that time comes, who will be considered a notorious cultivator?
A faint voice echoed, but He Songs heart was already filled with the idea of leaving Immortal Pavilion immediately and returning only after the people from the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team had left.
Now.
He Song had already mastered two Array Skills and practiced some self-protection skills.
Apart from lacking Artifacts and being slightly inadequate in spirit amulets, He Songs fifth-tier Qi Refining cultivation meant he only needed to be careful while walking outside, or set up an Illusion Array and hide inside it to ensure safety.
This time, he didnt have to rely on his friends like the last time when the great disaster struck; his low cultivation and inability to give up the benefits of Immortal Pavilion forced him to hide in his friends house and leave his fate to the heavens.
With his face showing no signs, He Song began to plan his next move in his heart.
However.
With He Songs reminder, Zhao Lin finally realized the implications.
Dao friend, do you mean Zhao Lins expression changed in an instant from surprise to contemplative, and then to horror.
When Meng Guan introduced Zhao Lin to He Song as a contact, he mentioned that Zhao Lins character was cautious, quite similar to He Song.
And precisely because Zhao Lins character was relatively cautious.
After hearing He Songs reminder, he could understand He Songs meaning right away.
Thats right!
When that time comes.
Who would be those notorious cultivators?
It could be wealthy Loose cultivators, real notorious cultivators or, even more likely, someone who is deemed notorious simply because they are displeasing or advantageous to be killed.
Such a method would not only cleanse Immortal Pavilion of notorious cultivators but also allow them to take advantage of their newly acquired power to quickly fill their own pockets.T/his chapter is updat/𝓮d by n𝒐v(ê(l)biin.c/o/m
Which member of the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team could resist such a temptation?
Bear in mind, Zhao Lin was an amulet Tao master, with considerable wealth.
If something were to happen, he would likely be the first target.
Having understood this, Zhao Lins once joyful face immediately turned serious.
Before He Songs reminder, he was still immersed in the imaginary improvement of Immortal Pavilions atmosphere, completely unaware of the impending crisis.
Not until this moment.
Only under extreme fear did he finally react.
Dao friend, I will be leaving Immortal Pavilion soon to travel outside. If you have any connections, could you entrust someone to manage my spirit field? I am willing to pay thirty spirit stones as a reward.
Seeing Zhao Lins rapid change of expression, He Song timely clasped his hands and spoke.
Run!
Must run!
Now! Run right away!
He Song had already decided not to return to this haunted place until the people from the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team leave.
If he stayed in Immortal Pavilion, nobody would know whose side would come out on top- the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team or his own powerful backing.
Instead of living in fear, its better to turn around and leave.
As long as his spirit field is still being managed, he wont lose his identity as a spiritual plant farmer.
He could come back after the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team leaves.
By then.
Life would go on as usual.
Thank you, fellow Daoist, for your advice. Rest assured about the spirit field matter, I will arrange it properly. I shall take my leave now. Zhao Lin deeply saluted He Song, then turned and left.
Seeing his hurried manner, it seemed as if he was afraid he wouldnt be able to leave the next moment.
Back in the room.
Seeing Zhao Lin running away, He Song immediately closed the door.
He entered the quiet room.
He Song made a hand seal and cast a spell.
Suddenly.
Streams of light flew from various parts of the quiet room towards He Song, landing on his hand.
When the light disappeared, He Songs hand held fourteen Array Foundations.
Five Spirit-Gathering Arrays.
Nine Illusion Arrays.
A total of fourteen Array Foundations were all in his hand.
As long as he had these Array Foundations, he could set up the two arrays elsewhere.bender
Although it would take about ten days to re-establish the arrays to achieve maximum efficiency.
At this moment, with the urgency of the situation, He Song couldnt care less.
Storing all the Array Foundations in his storage bag, He Song quickly began to pack up other things.
However, due to the limited space in the storage bag, he could only bring some valuable items such as tea sets, tea leaves, and spirit rice.
Once the storage bag was packed full, a thin piece of paper appeared in He Songs hand.
Wei, Ive received news that the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team will be arriving at Immortal Pavilion soon to eliminate notorious cultivators.
But the definition of notorious depends solely on the Immortal City Law Enforcement Teams decision.
This is a serious matter, so I plan to leave Immortal Pavilion temporarily and return after the law enforcement team has left.
Please be prepared, Wei.
He Song.
With a display of spirit power, the thin paper in He Songs hands transformed into a sound-transmitting paper crane and flew into the sky. At the same time, He Song stepped out of the door.
This moment.
The blazing sun was high in the sky,
The scorching sunlight fell on He Song, but it did not bring him any warmth.
On the contrary, his speculations in his mind made him feel chills to the bottom of his heart.
This matter was of great importance.
If he had been too suspicious.
Then it would be fine, at least it meant that the higher-ups of Immortal Pavilion would have some restraint over the incoming Law Enforcement Team from Immortal City.
But if everything was as he predicted
He Song shook his head, casting aside the shuddering feeling in his heart.
Anyway, he had already left, and whatever happened in Immortal Pavilion had nothing to do with him.
With the Light Body Skill activated, He Song quickly rushed out of Immortal Pavilion, heading towards the endless mountains in the distance..
Chapter 68: Leaving the Immortal Pavilion
The Light Body Skill was not fast.
But that was relative to other cultivators.
For ordinary people, a cultivator at the Qi-refining mid stage using the Light Body Skill to gallop away was much faster than the mortal worlds fastest horse.
Traveling a thousand miles a day was nothing special.
He left the Immortal Pavilion.
He Songs arm retracted into his sleeve, his fingertips tightly gripping several Thick Earth Amulets, as he moved swiftly in the northwest direction with a serious expression.
Green Wall Immortal City was located directly north of the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.
If he were to go directly north, he might just run into the Law Enforcement Team cultivators from the Immortal City head-on.
By then, it might be like a sheep entering a tigers den.
Thats why He Song chose the northwest direction, where there were no Immortal Pavilions or Immortal Cities, making it the best direction to avoid other cultivators.
He Song had seen the surrounding map in the Spirit Skill Pavilion of the Immortal Pavilion.
The closest Immortal Pavilion to the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion was several hundred miles away.
In all directions, there were no Immortal Pavilions or Immortal Cities in the northwest.
As such, He Song didnt need to worry about coming face to face with other cultivators.
And the northwest direction was where He Song planned early on to open a spirit field.
The Cultivation World had its roots in the mortal world.
There were countless connections between the mortal world and the Cultivation World, with the majority of loose cultivators coming from the former.Upstodatee from n(0)/v𝒆/lbIn/.(co/m
However, the relationship between ordinary people and cultivators was mostly that of not meddling in each others affairs.
Cultivators rarely ventured into the mortal world.
Thats because the spirit Qi in the mortal world was scarce, and unless one was skilled in array tao and could set up a Spirit-Gathering Array among the mortals, a cultivators cultivation speed in the mortal world would be exceedingly slow, and obtaining spirit stones would become much more difficult.
Under this premise, cultivators who went to live in the mortal world generally did so for reasons such as having no hope of making a breakthrough, their lifespan nearing its end, lack of ambition, or craving for wealth and prestige.
There were not many cultivators like this, but there were still quite a few, and their presence could often be seen in the worldly affairs.
However, it was quite difficult for ordinary people to come across cultivators.
Cultivators walking in the mortal world generally remained hidden, living freely and happily, without much contact with ordinary people.
They usually socialized with the royalty and nobles of the worldly dynasties, enjoying wealth and luxury.
Although Immortal Pavilions did not prohibit ordinary people from coming, they were usually situated deep in the mountains, concealed and surrounded by fierce beasts and poisonous insects, making it difficult for ordinary people to reach them.
Therefore, only a very few ordinary people could enter the Immortal Pavilions.
Only the areas where Immortal Cities were located would have large numbers of ordinary people.
Outside the Immortal Pavilion.
He Song kept moving in the northwest direction of the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion but occasionally looked back.
The Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion was becoming smaller and smaller behind He Song.
It meant that He Song was getting farther and farther away from the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.
After leaving the Immortal Pavilion and stepping onto a small hill full of dense forests several miles away, He Song used his Object Controlling Skills to quickly create a small cave on the hillside. He immediately entered the cave.
This was his first time leaving the Immortal Pavilion.
He Song didnt dare to go too far.
Being closer to the Immortal Pavilion, in case he encountered an Evil Cultivator, he might still have a chance to escape back to the Immortal Pavilion under the protection of the Thick Earth Amulet.
Once he returned to the Immortal Pavilion, the Law Enforcement Team inside would be able to save him.
If he went too far, he feared that he would be killed by the Evil Cultivator before he even had a chance to escape back to the Immortal Pavilion.
By then, everything would come to an end.
This time, he left the Immortal Pavilion just to avoid the Law Enforcement Team cultivators from the Immortal City, so he wouldnt die inexplicably in the hands of other cultivators greed.
He wasnt hiding from some great catastrophe that could affect thousands of miles, so naturally, he didnt need to run too far.
He only needed to leave the Immortal Pavilion, find a hidden corner not far from the Immortal Pavilion, and set up an Illusion Array to ensure his safety, then quietly wait for the cultivators of the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team to leave.
Once they left, He Song could naturally return to the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion and continue his peaceful life.
In the mountain cave.
After using the Object Controlling Skills to excavate the cave where he now resided, He Song did not dare to pause and immediately took out the Nine Array Foundation from his storage bag.
This belonged to the foundation of the Illusion Array.
As his fingers formed a seal, streams of light continuously shot out from He Songs hand, quickly falling into their designated positions.
In an instant.
A flash of light flickered gently in the cave.
Illusion Array, successfully set up!
At this moment, He Song finally breathed a slight sigh of relief, forming another seal and using his array to cover a range of several tens of meters around him.
It wasnt until he had concealed everything, including his figure and breath, that He Song finally felt at ease.
Under the cover of the Illusion Array, he didnt need to worry about being discovered.
Even if someone was looking at this place from the outside at this moment, they wouldnt be able to detect any changes here. The mountain was still the same mountain.
The woods remained the same woods.
The cave He Song had opened up had disappeared. The mountainside looked just like it had before, unchanged from when there was no cave at all.
To be absolutely safe, He Song had activated the Illusion Array at full power, covering sight, hiding breath, and confusing the mind, all three functions were in full effect.bender
In this way, safety was naturally assured.
Leaving the cave.
Since the Illusion Array covered a range of several tens of meters around him, He Song could move around within this range without worrying about being discovered.
As a result, after leaving the cave, He Song quickly scanned his surroundings.
This was his first time leaving the Immortal Pavilion.
He didnt know if anyone was following him.
If there was someone following him, and he suddenly opened a cave and hid inside, that person would probably be getting ready to catch him off guard, right?
With that thought in mind, He Song activated the Spirit Vision Skill and constantly scanned the surroundings.
However.
No matter how He Song observed, he couldnt see any traces of other cultivators.
Only the occasional burst of birdsong around him made He Song aware that he was no longer in the Immortal Pavilion but outside it.
Half a moment later.
Upon realizing that there was actually no one following him, He Song finally calmed down and returned to the cave.
Under the cover of the Illusion Array, He Song could move within a range of several tens of meters without having to worry about being discovered.
Even if he expanded the original small cave into a several meters wide one, enough for a person to live in, no one would notice it.
After expanding the original small cave into a several meters wide one, enough for a person to live in.
He Song took out a cushion and placed it in the center of the cave.
He was about to set up the Spirit-Gathering Array.
But he suddenly felt that the Illusion Array had been touched by something.
In an instant, He Songs heart was alarmed, and he quickly conjured several Thick Earth Amulets in his hand.
Could it be that someone had arrived?
But he had clearly observed the outside for so long and hadnt seen any traces of anyone.
What
He Songs expression changed uncertainly.
But eventually, he decided to go outside to have a look.
After all, the area within several tens of meters around the cave had already been covered by the Illusion Array. As long as the Illusion Array was not broken, he wouldnt be discovered even if he left the cave..
Chapter 69: The Complexities of Human Relations
As soon as he thought about it, he did it.
He Song, holding several Thick Earth Amulets, left the cave with a solemn expression.
However, the moment he left the cave, his expression suddenly relaxed.
Not far away, a sound-transmitting paper crane stood at the periphery of the Illusion Array, seemingly unable to find its target.
Spirit power flowed through the paper crane, emitting a faint light, but it remained motionless, like a lifeless object.
He Song quickly reacted.
The Sound Transmission Skill, after exchanging breaths with a friend, only needed to release a paper crane or a bird to contact the other party. It was the preferred skill for Qi Refining stage cultivators to communicate over long distances.
Of course, if the other party was within a defensive array or had hidden their breath with the Breath Concealment Formulas, the Sound Transmission Skill would not be able to locate them and would stay where their breath disappeared.
Exchanging breaths with a friend was like adding a friend in a social network, which allowed them to contact each other using this trace of breath.
There was no need to worry about the trace of breath being tracked.
If there were a special skill to change ones breath, the Sound Transmission Skill would fail.
At the same time, once the Sound Transmission Skill was intercepted, the information on it would self-destruct instantaneously, and the person using it would know.
Indeed, when He Song arrived, he had come from the direction of the paper crane.
When he left the Immortal Pavilion, He Song did not use the Breath Concealment Formulas. This was not because he was careless, but rather, his excessive caution led him not to use the Breath Concealment Formulas when leaving the Immortal Pavilion.
Having spent more than ten years in the Immortal Pavilion, He Song knew it well.
In the Immortal Pavilion.
There were some hidden eyes watching those who left the Immortal Pavilion.
These people made a living by doing this, and they were ruthless.
Using the Breath Concealment Formulas and being considered weak by these people, they might be pursued and killed after leaving the Immortal Pavilion.
Revealing his Qi-refining mid-stage cultivation, these people dared not be too reckless.
However, if they encountered someone at the Qi Refining Early Stage leaving the Immortal Pavilion, they would probably show another face.
Exactly because of this.
He Songs breath was able to be tracked by the sound-transmitting paper crane all the way to this point, triggering He Songs Illusion Array.
The Illusion Array had the effect of hiding He Songs breath, so the paper crane could not enter and could only stay at the last position where He Songs breath disappeared.
If he had used the Breath Concealment Formulas when leaving the Immortal Pavilion, the sound-transmitting paper crane would have appeared beside He Songs house instead of here.
Seeing this.
He Song constantly observed his surroundings, and after being vigilant for a moment, he walked towards where the sound-transmitting paper crane was.
But during the walk, he held several Thick Earth Amulets in his hand, and could activate them to protect himself with just a thought.
When he reached the periphery of the Illusion Array, He Song reached out with one hand while being cautious of his surroundings, reaching for the paper crane.
His outstretched palm released a trace of his breath, and the paper crane in front of him suddenly turned into a thin sheet of paper and fell into He Songs
hand.
Seeing this, He Song quickly put the paper into his storage bag, withdrew his hand, and remained vigilant.
After a long time.
Seeing that there were no abnormalities around him, He Song finally breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the cave to look at the paper in his hand.
Thank you for the reminder. I am a Qi-refining late-stage cultivator and a high-ranking member of the Immortal Pavilion, so I dont need to worry about
that.
As for this matter, I have actually heard about it beforehand, but I didnt deliberately hide it from you, please forgive me.
I originally thought that I could protect you when the time came, so I didnt tell you. But I didnt expect that you already had a place to go.
However, if there are any changes along the way, feel free to contact me and I will come to the rescue immediately.
This matter is of great importance, please do not mention it to anyone else.
Wei Fan.
Glancing through the lines of words on the paper, He Song felt a warmth in his heart.
Wei Fan was a Qi-refining late-stage cultivator.bender
Moreover, he had successfully broken through from the seventh-tier Qi Refining to the eighth-tier of Qi Refining in the past two years. Such a cultivation base was not low in the Immortal Pavilion. Above him, there were only those ninth-tier Qi-refining cultivators who were advancing towards Foundation Establishment.
In addition to his identity as the Steward of the Spirit Construction Pavilion.
He was undoubtedly a high-ranking member of the Immortal Pavilion.
He had obtained the news early on, but had not made a fuss about it, and had already planned to protect He Song at that time.
Unfortunately, He Song had accidentally learned this news from Zhao Lin today and had already left the Immortal Pavilion directly, opening up a cave outside the Pavilion to hide for a while before returning.
As a result, Wei Fans original plan to protect He Song fell through.
On the contrary, He Song had specifically informed him about the matter and asked him to prepare early.
Thinking about it, Wei Fan must be feeling very complicated right now.
He had originally planned to protect his friend in the crisis, but in the end, his friend had run away and even reminded him along the way.
This
The favor had not been given, and even owed more.
It was easy to imagine how Wei Fan was feeling at the moment.
Although the news He Song provided was something Wei Fan had known early on, the fact that He Song had notified him as soon as he learned it could also be considered a favor.
If the relationship between the two wasnt so good, who would have sent a message to remind them?
Initially.Ch𝒆êck out l𝒂t𝒆st 𝒏𝒐v𝒆l𝒔 on n/o/v𝒆/l/bin(.)c/𝒐/m
When He Song learned the news, he immediately considered whether or not to seek Wei Fans help.
But after considering it, He Song gave up on the tempting idea.
He left the Immortal Pavilion and hid in an Illusion Array not far away. He would not be in any danger.
Even if he was in danger, he could quickly escape back to the Immortal Pavilion.
With the guarantee of his safety, he could avoid the disaster.
If he sought Wei Fans help again, it would be more and more difficult to repay the favor.
Keep in mind.
Six years ago, during that great catastrophe, He Song had sought Wei Fans help.
Three years ago, during the Chen Zhou incident, He Song had also sought Wei Fans help.
If there really was another catastrophe this time, and he sought Wei Fans help again,
what about later? If there were more terrifying catastrophes in the future, who could He Song seek help from?
In the end, people have to rely on themselves.
If you rely on others, and they are not willing to help you, what should you do?
Even if Wei Fan was his good friend, willing to help him when his cultivation was still shallow in order to get his help later down the line as his cultivation improved,
He Song couldnt keep seeking him for every issue.
Favors were hard to repay.
Now that he had some initial self-protection capabilities, relying on oneself had become He Songs first choice.
Being able to rely on his own strength to avoid the disaster while ensuring his safety, why would he choose to owe favors?
However,
If he really encountered a problem he couldnt solve, He Song wouldnt stubbornly hold back either.
He still had to ask his friends for help when necessary.
Life was precious, and preserving his own life was what He Song needed to do most.
Putting the paper in his hand into the storage bag, He Song gently waved his hand, and a thin sheet of paper appeared in his hand..
Chapter 70: The Descent
Since Brother Wei already knows, then Ive said too much. If the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team departs, please inform me at that time, so that I can return to the Immortal Pavilion as well.
He Song.
He Song channeled spirit power into his fingertips, and once the writing appeared on the paper, he spit out a wisp of spiritual power. The thin paper in his hand instantly transformed into a sound-transmitting paper crane, which soared into the sky, passing through the Illusion Array and disappearing in the blink of an eye.
The speed of the sound-transmitting paper crane was extremely fast, and Qi Refining stage cultivators could not possibly catch up to it.
Even Foundation Establishment masters would find it difficult to catch up without mastering a profound tunneling skill.Ch𝒆êck out l𝒂t𝒆st 𝒏𝒐v𝒆l𝒔 on n/o/v𝒆/l/bin(.)c/𝒐/m
However, after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, the Sound Transmission Skill will be phased out, and sound transmission amulets will become the mainstream in the Cultivation World.
The Sound Transmission Skill is merely a convenient way for Qi Refining stage cultivators who cannot afford sound transmission amulets to communicate with friends quickly.
Between the Qi Refining stage cultivators, they each send out sound -transmitting paper cranes to each other.
There wont be any Foundation Establishment masters with nothing better to do intercepting or chasing them.
Cultivators are very busy and dont have that leisure time.
Moreover, if such a situation were to occur, the sound-transmitting paper crane would self-destruct instantly, and no information would be obtained.
This is also why He Song needed to release his aura when receiving the sound -transmitting paper crane.
Only He Songs aura could dissipate the spirit power in the paper crane, thus preventing it from self-destructing.
If they forcibly opened it, the sound-transmitting paper crane would instantly self-destruct.
He released the sound-transmitting paper crane.
After some contemplation, He Song ultimately decided not to leave this place.
Although his aura had spread from the Immortal Pavilion to this location, only the Sound Transmission Skill could follow his aura and locate him.
And it still couldnt enter the Illusion Array.
Ordinary cultivators wouldnt be able to find this place.
Auras were constantly dissipating every moment; in a few minutes, they would have mostly dissipated, and not every cultivator would be able to track them.
Only the Sound Transmission Skill, which inherently contained a trace of He Songs aura, could find where He Songs aura disappeared.
Under such circumstances, He Song didnt need to worry about any evildoers finding this place by following his aura.
This place was safe.
With that thought, He Song suddenly held five Array Foundations in his hands.
These belonged to the Spirit-Gathering Arrays Array Foundations.
However, being outside the Immortal Pavilion at the moment meant that the spirit Qi was thin. Even if he set up a Spirit-Gathering Array, the concentration of spirit Qi inside would likely be much less than when setting up a Spirit-Gathering Array inside the Immortal Pavilion.
Regardless, it should still exceed the concentration of spirit Qi within the Immortal Pavilion when not setting up a Spirit-Gathering Array. After all, the concentration of spirit Qi in the Immortal Pavilion wasnt just handed over for free.
The spirit Qi in the Immortal Pavilion was also gathered by the Spirit-Gathering Array.
Setting up a Spirit-Gathering Array outside the Immortal Pavilion, He Song believed that the spirit Qi gathered by the Spirit-Gathering Array should not be worse than that within the Immortal Pavilion.
With that thought, He Song formed hand seals.
Lines of flowing light suddenly flew out from He Songs hands, falling into their designated positions.
When a flash of light filled the cave, He Song immediately felt the originally thin spirit Qi inside the cave gradually becoming more dense.
Having already set up a Spirit-Gathering Array before, He Song naturally knew what was going on.
After the Spirit-Gathering Array was set up, it would take about ten days to reach maximum efficiency.
At that time, the concentration of spirit Qi within the array would reach its peak.
By then, it should be enough for him to cultivate.
Sitting on a cushion, He Song pondered these thoughts, but soon cast them aside and began practicing the Earth Tunneling Skill.
As a high-quality skill, the Earth Tunneling Skill was difficult to practice. He
Song guessed that being able to cultivate it to the point of normal use without damaging its power within a year would already be quite fortunate.
Keep in mind, He Songs soul was much stronger than ordinary cultivators, and his speed at learning skills was faster than theirs as well.
Even so, it would still take at least a year to cultivate it to the point of normal use without damaging its power.
Its easy to imagine how much longer it would take other cultivators to practice the Earth Tunneling Skill.bender
High-quality skills are already so difficult to cultivate.
What about Foundation Establishment skills?
Would it take even longer?
It was not until now that He Song understood why cultivators in the Cultivation World complain about their short lifespans.
The truth is, the time spent on cultivation and other matters are simply too long.
Improvement in cultivation requires an accumulation of time.
The improvement of the Hundred Skills of Cultivation Truth requires a double accumulation of money and time.
Practicing skills also require a large amount of time.
In addition to handling trivial matters, seeking opportunities, earning spirit stones, and undertaking seclusive cultivation for breakthroughs,
Almost all cultivators, be they Qi Refining stage juniors or Foundation Establishment masters, find that time is far from enough.
It is precisely for this reason,
That cultivators become so desperate when trying to break through their cultivation and extend their life spans.
Fighting viciously for the slightest chance of breakthrough is no joke.
However, if they know that their life span is about to end or that they lack the power to break through, many cultivators will go to the mortal world and leave behind cultivation manuals and opportunities for future generations.
As a result, loose cultivators from the mortal world become cultivators every year, once again embarking on this difficult path.
In the Cultivation World, time is the greatest restraint for cultivators to approach one step closer to success.
Shaking his head, He Song cast aside his thoughts,
And quickly immersed himself in studying the Earth Tunneling Skill once more.
A few days later,
He Song, who was practicing the Earth Tunneling Skill outside the cave and within the scope of the Illusion Array, suddenly saw a group of people in the distance, walking directly towards the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion. As He Song was within the scope of the Illusion Array, those people wouldnt be able to detect him.
However, upon careful observation, He Song still recognized their identity based on the clothes they wore.
These are the standard mana robes of the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team!
Green Wall Immortal City and Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion were connected. He Song recognized the clothes worn by the members of the Immortal Pavilion Law Enforcement Team.
However, the clothes worn by the Immortal Pavilion Law Enforcement Team were only standard uniforms, not mana robes.
The few people currently wearing standard mana robes in front of him were most likely members of the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team that came from Green Wall Immortal City to deal with the current incident at the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.
Since he was hidden within the Illusion Array, He Songs aura and figure were concealed, so he wasnt worried about being detected.
Therefore, when he noticed these individuals with distinct differences from the loose cultivators, he observed them carefully.
He could even see the style of their standard mana robes and the features of these peoples appearances clearly.
Given this, the identity of these people naturally became obvious.
I hope its just my imagination.
It was only after the figures vanished from his sight that He Song shook his head and sighed.
Although he had already left the Immortal Pavilion, even if it became more chaotic, it wouldnt affect him.
However, if the Immortal Pavilion really became chaotic after these people arrived, it would mean that He Songs previous speculations had been proven correct..
Chapter 71: Half a Month Later
In the Cultivation World,
strength is supreme.
The arrival of the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team could mean they might be looking for some extra benefits.
If the Immortal Pavilion were to descend into chaos, some innocent cultivators could die at the hands of the law enforcement.
That would mean the darkness of the cultivation world would finally show its true face before He Song.
Ever since He Song arrived, what he experienced was relatively calm.
Although he had experienced two minor catastrophes,
the cruel reality of cultivators devouring each other in the Cultivation World had not appeared before him yet.
Cultivators strived against the world for their own lives.
Struggle!
Snatch!
Plunder!
Seize!bender
These were the main themes in the Cultivation World.
He Song had been in the Immortal Pavilion for more than a decade and had little contact with cultivators from the outside world.
Although he had been cautious, he was not fully aware of how dark the hearts of those cultivators could be.
Leaving the Immortal Pavilion this time, was mostly due to his cautious nature.
As for whether the law enforcement team from the Immortal City would act in such a way, He Song only had some suspicions in his heart.
However,
if news of innocent cultivators dying at the hands of the law enforcement team spread, He Song felt that his future would need to be even more cautious.
Peoples hearts are difficult to fathom. Only by being cautious, could one survive until the end. Anyway, only Wei Fan is still in the Immortal Pavilion. My other friends, like
Zhao Lin, have already escaped, Meng Guan is in the Immortal City, and Lin Cong went to Green Wall Immortal City six years ago. With Wei Fans strength and identity, it should be alright.
In the end, after pondering for a long time, He Song shook his head and continued practicing his Earth Tunneling Skill. The arrival of the law enforcement team, did not have much effect on He Song.
Outside the Immortal Pavilion, although the concentration of spirit Qi was low, it even had some advantages for He Song.
Inside the Illusion Array, there were no buildings or the like around, so He
Song could practice his Stone Breaking Finger technique without restraint.
When he was in the Immortal Pavilion, He Song had to be careful while practicing his Stone Breaking Finger technique, as there were buildings around.
One careless move could easily damage the building or even hurt pedestrians.
But outside the Immortal Pavilion, it was completely different.
There was no need to worry about damaging buildings or hurting people. As long as He Song stayed within the Illusion Array, he could attack wherever he wanted to.
Except for the core position of the Illusion Array, even if He Song demolished houses within the area covered by the array, no one would discover it.Upstodatee from n(0)/v𝒆/lbIn/.(co/m
Thus,
when He Song saw the law enforcement team members leave the Immortal Pavilion half a month later and received Wei Fans sound- transmitting paper crane, countless pits had already been scattered within the range of the Illusion Array.
All of these were caused by He Songs practice of the Stone Breaking Finger technique.
Inside the Illusion Array,
He Song opened the paper in his hand.
Immediately, row after row of text appeared before him.
Members of the Law Enforcement Team have left the Immortal City. Fellow cultivator, you can return to the Immortal Pavilion now.
However, if you can, please come to the Spirit Construction Pavilion once after you return to the Immortal Pavilion. There is something important to discuss.
Wei Fan.
There was not much information on the sound-transmitting paper crane. Wei Fan only asked He Song to come and find him shortly after returning to the Immortal Pavilion.
Putting away the paper, He Song thoughtfully looked in the direction of the Immortal Pavilion.
But immediately shook his head.
Half a month had passed,
He Song had been paying attention to the situation in the Immortal Pavilion all along.
However, due to the distance of several miles, the noise of the Immortal Pavilion couldnt reach He Songs location.
This made He Song completely unaware of what had happened in the Immortal Pavilion.
He only knew that many things must have happened in the Immortal Pavilion during the past half-month, but what exactly happened,
would have to wait until after returning to the Immortal Pavilion and asking Wei Fan to find out.
Apart from that,
He Song looked around and his expression showed some helplessness. Perhaps it was because it was his first time away from the Immortal Pavilion and he could practice his skills as he pleased, he accidentally caused numerous pits to form on the ground while practicing his Stone Breaking Finger technique.
This would not do.
Now that he was about to leave, he would need to restore this place.
Otherwise, once he withdrew the Illusion Array before leaving, the traces of the destroyed formations would be immediately exposed.
He Song did not want others to know that he had lived here for more than half a month.
Thankfully, there was a way to quickly erase all traces of his presence.
Using Object Controlling Skills,
He Song manipulated the spirit power inside his body, quickly filling the pits one by one.
Even after putting the foundations of the Illusion Array and Spirit-Gathering Array into his storage bag, he used Object Controlling Skills to close the cave.
After doing all this,
He Song finally activated his Light Body Skill and quickly rushed towards Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.
Soon,
He Songs figure entered the Immortal Pavilion.
However, as soon as he stepped into the Immortal Pavilion, He Song noticed something was wrong.
Inside the Immortal Pavilion, there were very few cultivators walking on the streets.
Even the few that were present, all seemed to be in a hurry, as if they were unwilling to stay on the streets.
Previously bustling streets were now sparsely populated, losing the vibrant atmosphere they once had.
Looking further away,
many of the rental houses in the outer area of the Immortal Pavilion showed signs of damage.
Some houses had no roofs; some had collapsed walls, with various furnishings exposed inside and no one trying to fix them.
He Song even saw traces of blood in some corners.
Glancing over the scene in the Immortal Pavilion, He Songs heart sank.
If he hadnt personally seen the law enforcement officers from the Immortal
City leave,
and received Wei Fans sound-transmitting paper crane proving they were no longer in the Immortal Pavilion, he might have turned around and left directly. The current state of the Immortal Pavilion, was entirely different from when he left.
When he left, the streets were lively, with countless cultivators coming and going due to the influx of loose cultivators in recent years.
Even the rental houses in the outskirts, after being refurbished by the Spirit Construction Pavilion six years ago, seemed brand new.
But now?
Looking at the changed scene in the Immortal Pavilion, He Song hesitated for a moment but ultimately decided to go to the Spirit Construction Pavilion.
Since he had returned, he would go see Wei Fan first.
If the Immortal Pavilion was still not safe after meeting Wei Fan, he might have to leave again for some time.
Unimpeded,
He Song quickly arrived at the Spirit Construction Pavilion. On the second floor of the Spirit Construction Pavilion,
He bong went upstairs to see wel ran situng at a small came, wavmg at mm.
Wei, why has the Immortal Pavilion changed so much in the past half month? He Song asked with a frown as he sat down next to Wei Fan.
Not even half a month had passed, and the Immortal Pavilion had already changed.
Could it be that all these changes were brought about by the Law Enforcement Team from the Immortal City? If so, wasnt their appetite too big?
Chapter 72: Pharmacy Management
Could it be that the upper echelons of the Immortal Pavilion are truly as I had originally thought, indifferent to these peoples actions?
Fellow Daoist, did you not already have a guess? Why are you asking me? Handing He Song a cup of tea, Wei Fan shook his head and laughed.
He had seen the changes in the Immortal Pavilion over the past half month.
But.
The only thing that has been affected is the periphery of the Immortal Pavilion; it has little to do with his practice as a Qi Refining late stage cultivator.
Moreover, He Song, who he has a close relationship with, had left the Immortal Pavilion before the personnel from the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team even arrived.
Naturally, he paid attention to the life and death of the cultivators in the periphery of the Immortal Pavilion, but he didnt care that much.
In the mortal world, humans only know that life is worthless.
But what they dont know is that in the Cultivation World, the life of a cultivator is also worthless.
Upon hearing Wei Fans counter question.
He Song shook his head, but he didnt continue to speak.
Guesses are guesses, facts are facts.
More than half a month ago, when he learned that the people of the Immortal Pavilion Law Enforcement Team were coming, he already had a premonition of what would happen in the Immortal Pavilion.
Otherwise, he wouldnt have left the Immortal Pavilion directly, preferring to go to the places outside the Immortal Pavilion where the spirit Qi is thin instead of continuing to stay in the Immortal Pavilion.
But when the fact really appeared before his eyes.
Even though He Song had guesses, he still decided to ask Wei Fan and learn about the information of the past half month from him.
However.
Wei Fans counter-question made He Song suddenly come to his senses.
The incident has already happened.
No matter what exactly happened in the Immortal Pavilion in the past half month, it has certainly changed from before.
The corpses of the cultivators in the Immortal Pavilion are probably cleaned up by now.
After a while, the houses on the periphery of the Immortal Pavilion will be renovated, and the streets, which are sparsely populated now, will once again become as bustling as before.
With the passage of time, everything will disappear into nothingness.
Instead of asking again, it would be better to remind himself to be more cautious in the future.
In this way.
He can avoid the crisis and will not let himself die and be forgotten.
As an everlasting being.
He should always be more cautious than the regular cultivators.
After understanding this, He Song bowed to Wei Fan and thanked him.
Thank you, Brother Wei, for the clarification. However, you had mentioned something about a matter you wanted to discuss
Although he did not get the information about what happened in the Immortal Pavilion from Wei Fan in the past half month, He Song did not care too much about it at the moment.
There will be plenty of time in the future, and he can always learn more about it.
Now.V/\IssịT n0(v)eL/b(i)(n).𝘤𝑜/𝓂 for the b/est novel reading experi/en/ce
Lets see what Wei Fan wanted him for.
He Song didnt forget that on the sound-transmitting paper crane Wei Fan had said that he should find him after he returned to the Immortal Pavilion. There was a matter they needed to discuss.
So, what exactly is this affair?
Fellow Daoist, are you interested in taking the position of the manager of the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion? In response to He Songs question, Wei Fan didnt directly state the matter. Instead, he asked He Song a question.
The manager of the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion? Upon hearing this, He Song raised an eyebrow, but then he quickly reacted.
What was Wei Fan doing asking him this question at this time?
Could it be
If Fellow Daoist wishes, I can apply to the upper leader on your behalf. Given your cultivation at the fifth level of Qi Refining and your status as a spiritual plant farmer, there is a significant chance.
Halfway through his speech, seeing that He Song seemed to have understood his meaning, Wei Fan added another sentence.
Three days ago, a steward of the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion and two managers were killed inside the Pavilion. Their positions are naturally now vacant.
After hearing Wei Fans explanation, He Song instantly understood everything.
No wonder.
No wonder as soon as Wei Fan saw the personnel from the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team leaving, he hurriedly sent out a sound-transmitting paper crane.
Turns out it was because a steward and two managers of the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion were killed and their positions were left vacant.
Having been in the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion for over a decade, He Song naturally understood the rules of the Immortal Pavilion.
The Spiritual Medicine Pavilion, Spirit Skill Pavilion, Spirit Construction Pavilion
The duties in these places that maintain the normal operation of the Spiritual Pavilion are naturally stipulated.
The spiritual plant farmers of the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion, the receptionists of the Spirit Skill Pavilion, the receptionists of the Spirit Construction Pavilion, as long as one is a cultivator, they can do these jobs. These are the lowest level personnel of the Immortal Pavilion.
The managers of the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion, the Spirit Skill Pavilion, the Spirit Construction Pavilion, these positions require a certain standing within the Immortal Pavilion and are the middle level of the Immortal Pavilion.
Finally, the stewards of the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion, the Spirit Skill Pavilion, the Spirit Construction Pavilion, these positions require a cultivation level of Qi Refining late stage. These are the high level of the Immortal
Dnvilinn
Of course, the highest ranks of the Immortal Pavilion can always only be Masters of Foundation Establishment.
The stewards, managers, and bottom-level personnel below them can never become the highest level as long as they havent reached the Foundation Establishment stage.
For instance, Wei Fan. He is a cultivator in the Qi-refining late stage and also a steward of the Spirit Construction Pavilion, so he is a part of the high level of the Immortal Pavilion.
As for Meng Guan in the past, Meng Guan was a Qi-refining mid-stage cultivator and was also a manager of the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion, so he belonged to the middle level of the Immortal Pavilion.
And now, He Song. Although he is a Qi-refining mid-stage cultivator, he is only a spiritual plant farmer and is still at the lowest level of the Immortal Pavilion.
Besides this.
There are also some special cases.
Like Pinger of the Spirit Skill Pavilion, she became a manager of the Spirit Skill Pavilion during the Qi-refining mid-stage.
He Song didnt know the reason, but he thought there must be a reason.
There was a hierarchy among the managers of different pavilions. Although He Songs cultivation was at the Qi-refining mid-stage, since he was usually busy practicing and learning skills, he was almost invisible in the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion.
So it makes sense that he has always been a spiritual plant farmer.
However, if He Songs cultivation breaks through from being at the Qi-refining mid-stage to the late stage.
As long as he doesnt leave the Immortal Pavilion, he can be promoted to the position of steward instantly. No matter which pavilion it is, he can successfully join and become the new steward, thus joining the upper level of the Immortal Pavilion.
The cultivation of the Qi-refining late stage is already considered high within this small Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.
Thats also why Wei Fan can live so comfortably here.
The Immortal Pavilion is too small, and to keep a cultivator from leaving at the Qi-refining late stage, supporting their status and position is necessary.
Otherwise, if they all went to the Immortal City, who would manage the Immortal Pavilion?
Brother Wei, do you know why these people were killed? Upon learning that he suddenly has the opportunity to be promoted to the manager of the
Spiritual Medicine Pavilion, He Song didnt pay too much attention to it.
The job of the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion manager isnt much different from that of a spiritual plant farmer. Otherwise, He Song would have already vied for it instead of waiting until now.
What he cared more about was the reason why a steward of the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion and two managers were suddenly killed.
The steward is at least a Qi-refining late stage cultivator, a high-ranking member of the Immortal Pavilion.
And still, he was killed and moreover, killed within the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion.bender
This He Song doesnt even need to think to know this must have been the doing of the people from the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team.
If not, a steward and two managers so easily getting killed would stir up a huge commotion within the Immortal Pavilion. But now, what about now?
Chapter 73: Colluding with Evil Cultivators
Not only was there no significant turbulence.
Even Wei Fan, who is also a senior cultivator of the Immortal Pavilion, has already begun paving the way for his friends.
As one can imagine, the steward of the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion and the two managers who committed the offenses must have done something enormous.
It might have even caused public outrage.
Otherwise, such a scene would not be possible.
As a senior in the Immortal Pavilion, it's impossible to watch one's colleagues be killed.
"That person colluded with the Evil Cultivator and instructed his followers to recruit the Evil Cultivator into the Immortal Pavilion. With conclusive evidence, he was caught and killed by the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team, along with his two accomplices. The hidden Evil Cultivators in the Immortal Pavilion were also wiped out."
Wei Fan's eyes flashed with killing intent as he spoke.
As a cultivator of Qi-refining late stage, he is also a high-ranking member of the Immortal Pavilion.
Seeing his colleagues colluding with the Evil Cultivator, he is naturally filled with rage.
Coming out of the Thick Earth Mansion, his heart always leans towards the Thick Earth Sect, and naturally, he would want to destroy the Evil Cultivator as soon as possible.
And this is exactly the reason why the killing of the steward of the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion by the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team did not cause a major disturbance.
In Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.
In Green Wall Immortal City.
Under the rule of the Thick Earth Sect.
The only result of colluding with the Evil Cultivator is death!
"Colluding with the Evil Cultivator and recruiting them into the Immortal Pavilion?" Repeating Wei Fan's words, He Song's eyebrows raised instantly. He thought of Chen Zhou.
Chen Zhou was also recruited into the Immortal Pavilion six years ago.
Could it be…
He Song had a bold guess in his heart.
However, He Song quickly overturned this conjecture.
If Chen Zhou were really an evil cultivator, asking Wei Fan to kill Chen Zhou would have caused a reaction from the Evil Cultivator's side.
However, until today, three years later, evil cultivators have been wiped out by the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team, and the Evil Cultivators have not taken any retaliatory actions.
In this case, it can be concluded.
Chen Zhou probably has little to do with the hidden evil cultivators in the Immortal Pavilion.
Of course, it's also possible that the evil cultivators discovered Wei Fan as the mastermind and didn't know that He Song was the one pulling the strings behind the scenes.
Facing a cultivator at the late stage of Qi- refining, the evil cultivators ultimately did not dare to take revenge.
At the same time.
He Song also thought of Zhao Lin.
If He Song remembers correctly, Zhao Lin took over Meng Guan's position and became the manager of the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion with his cultivation at the fourth-tier of Qi Refining.
And Chen Zhou was recruited into the Immortal Pavilion by Zhao Lin.
If Chen Zhou had a problem, Zhao Lin probably could not escape responsibility.
But Wei Fan had already said that the hidden evil cultivators in the Immortal Pavilion had been wiped out, so naturally, there would be no fish slipping through the net.
As long as Zhao Lin is alive, he should have no problems.
"Brother Wei, is there a list of the deceased from the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion? I have a good friend who happens to be the manager of the Spiritual
Medicine Pavilion."
Although he knows that Zhao Lin has already left the Immortal Pavilion like himself to avoid danger, He Song still asks.
Better safe than sorry.
What if Zhao Lin was caught and brought back?
At the same time, He Song was also very grateful in his heart.
Grateful for his caution.
If he hadn't left the Immortal Pavilion, he might have been interrogated continuously by the people of the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team after their arrival.
Although he is not an evil cultivator, who knows if the people from the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team would label him as such if they don't like him?
By then, he would probably be in trouble even if he didn't die.
After all, who would let the steward of the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion collude with the evil cultivators? Everyone in the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion would probably be thoroughly investigated.
If there's no issue, it would be considered a pass.
And if there is a problem, they would have been killed three days ago.
Whether there's a problem or not is beyond one's control.
He Song doesn't want to entrust his life and property to others, which is why he left the Immortal Pavilion.
"You must be talking about Zhao Lin from three years ago. Before Lao Meng left, he had mentioned him to me. Half a month ago, he was also under suspicion."
"But in the end, after a thorough investigation, he was cleared of suspicion. As an amulet Tao master, he has a promising future, does not bear grudges with others in his daily life, has a cautious nature, and has nothing to do with the evil cultivators."
Wei Fan continued to speak as he recalled thoughtfully.
"However, like you, he suddenly claimed he wanted to travel before the arrival of the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team and then lost contact. No one knows where he is now."
In the end, Wei Fan shook his head, but it seemed like he suddenly remembered something, and his gaze turned to He Song.
"Did you get the information from him?"
Wei Fan's gaze on He Song was a bit strange.
He suddenly remembered six years ago.
Six years ago.
Before Master Cheng Shan left the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion, He Song had already sensed something and felt that the Immortal Pavilion was bound for chaos.
He, as He Song's friend, also believed He Song's words at that time.
Not only did he spend a huge sum of money to buy Artifacts, spirit amulets, and other life-saving items, but he was also constantly on guard against the Evil Cultivator's attack.
The fact proved that what He Song said was true.
Before the arrival of the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team, He Song had already left the Immortal Pavilion to avoid being implicated in advance.
If He Song got the information from Zhao Lin…
He seemed to understand something as well.
No wonder.
No wonder the two men disappeared from the Immortal Pavilion at the same time.
It seemed that He Song must have sensed something and told Zhao Lin about it.
Then, the two left the Immortal Pavilion separately, planning to hide for a while before coming back.
As his mind flashed with speculations about the incident, a strange look appeared in Wei Fan's eyes as he looked at He Song.
Why did this scene feel so familiar?
It seemed that he had experienced it too.
It's just that last time he went through it with He Song, and this time, He Song left the Immortal Pavilion with Zhao Lin.
"Yes, that day he personally brought gifts to my door, and then…" Picking out what he could say, He Song recounted the story of Zhao Lin coming to his house to give him a gift.
Very candidly.
After all, He Song did send a message to Wei Fan before leaving the Immortal Pavilion during the crisis, which was a true test of their friendship, and Wei Fan could not say a word of disagreement.
However, after listening to He Song's description, the look Wei Fan gave He Song became even stranger. Caution.
He was really too cautious!
With just a little rustling, He Song seemed to know in advance and quickly dodged the situation.
Such cautiousness made him admire He Song.
However, it was precisely because of He Song's caution that he was more optimistic about He Song's prospects.
"Alright, alright, let's stop talking about him. There are now two vacant spots for the position of the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion's manager. If you are interested, I will apply for you."
"If Zhao Lin comes back, you can also ask him for help since he is also the manager of the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion. I'm sure he should have some influence in the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion and can increase your chances."
Knowing that He Song was asking about Zhao Lin, and since Zhao Lin is not an accomplice of the evil cultivators, Wei Fan naturally didn't care too much. Instead, he started discussing benefits for He Song..
Chapter 74: Inauspicious
Spiritual Medicine Pavilion Manager.
Although it was not a high position, it was much more relaxed than being a spiritual plant farmer and provided a higher income as well.
Wei Fan naturally hoped to get He Song out of the spiritual plant farmer pit.
However, he didn't know.
For He Song, the position of Spiritual Medicine Pavilion Manager was not very attractive. Although he could become a middle-level manager in Immortal Pavilion, to He Song, whether he manages or not, both were trivial matters.
What's important was that no one would disturb him when he cultivated in his spare time.
That was the most critical factor.
It's true that after becoming the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion Manager, he would earn more spirit stones, but the increase would not be significant.
Zhao Lin was one of the managers of the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion, and He Song was clear about his income, which was about a hundred and several spirit stones a year.
Compared to the ninety spirit stones a spiritual plant farmer earns in a year, it's only an increase of a dozen or so.
For the sake of earning these dozen more spirit stones a year,
he would have to work like a servant in the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion every day… He Song was not willing.
It would be better to continue being a small spiritual plant farmer, taking half an hour each day to use the Spirit Rain Skill, and using the rest of the time for cultivation or other activities.
Wasn't this better than working like a servant?
"Maybe I should forget about it. Being a spiritual plant farmer is pretty good. I have plenty of time for cultivation every day. If I become a manager, I'm afraid I'll have to be on duty every day and my cultivation speed will slow down a lot."
He naturally wanted to accept Wei Fan's kindness, but after some consideration, He Song chose to refuse it.
There was no other reason.
Continuing to be a spiritual plant farmer, he could cultivate every day in the Spirit-Gathering Array at home, which would naturally help him to progress more quickly in his cultivation. If he really took a position as a Spiritual Medicine Pavilion manager, his cultivation speed would certainly slow down without the support of the Spirit-Gathering Array.
For the sake of the dozen or so spirit stones, 1–1e Song was unwilling to see his cultivation speed slow down while also having to be on duty at the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion.
"Don't worry, I've considered everything you're concerned about. One of the two deceased managers had a very relaxed position that won't interfere with your cultivation. I've considered all these factors."
Seeing that He Song was somewhat reluctant, Wei Fan immediately began to explain to him.
"The management position I'm fighting for you is to guard the medicine garden in the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion. You only need to be present in the Medicine Garden during the day, and you don't need to deal with other matters; the people below will take care of them." Rêađ lat𝒆st ch𝒂/p/ters on n𝒐/v/𝒆/l(b)i𝒏(.)c/𝒐/m
"You just need to watch over the Medicine Garden during the day and check the garden once at the end of the day. In addition, the concentration of spirit Qi in the Medicine Garden is much higher than elsewhere, which would make your cultivation speed faster when you cultivate there."
With Wei Fan's explanation, He Song quickly got a better understanding of the Medicine Garden Manager position. Being a Medicine Garden Manager, was essentially being a supervisor.
For example, the responsibilities like using the Spirit Rain Skill, turning over the soil, watering the plants, and fertilizing would be done by others.
If He Song became the Medicine Garden Manager, he would only need to check the number of spirit medicines at the beginning and end of the day-
Apart from that, the rest of his time could be spent freely.
Moreover, due to the high concentration of spirit Qi in the Medicine Garden, as most spirit medicines need more abundant spirit Qi, the cultivation speed would be much faster.
Even compared to the Spirit-Gathering Array at He Song's home, the difference is likely negligible.
Also, with the natural spirit Qi emanating from the spirit medicine, the cultivation speed within the Medicine Garden would be even faster.
So it could be said, that the position of Medicine Garden Manager was quite appealing.
Even though there was a Spirit-Gathering Array at He Song's house, cultivating in the Medicine Garden would not be slower, but even faster.
In this way, he could earn more spirit stones while increasing his cultivation speed, why wouldn't he agree?
At this thought, He Song cupped his hands towards Wei Fan and thanked him,
"Thank you, Wei, I will keep your kindness in mind."
He Song agreed, and seeing that He Song accepted the offer, Wei Fan was satisfied and nodded.
As close friends for over ten years, they have helped each other on many occasions. Wei Fan naturally hoped to see He Song's cultivation improve quickly.
Only when He Song's cultivation improved could he truly help Wei Fan.
Sometimes, this behavior is called creating factions, but most of the time, it's called mentoring juniors.
When the juniors grow up, the benefits they bring will naturally not be too little.
Moreover, he didn't lose anything.
It was just a simple application.
Since anyone could be the Medicine Garden Manager, why not his close friend He Song?
With their discussion finished.
In the following time,
the two chatted leisurely for a while at the Spirit Construction Pavilion before He Song bid his farewell and left.
Upon leaving the Spirit Construction Pavilion,
He Song thought for a moment and then walked toward where his home was located.
He hadn't returned for over half a month, so it was time to clean his room.
However, with the Object Controlling Skills he had cultivated, cleaning the room could also be done with that skill.
As He Song was thinking about these things, he walked quickly,
However,
Just as He Song was walking towards his home, he suddenly noticed a familiar figure standing outside his door.
Zhao Lin,
He was pacing back and forth outside He Song's room.
Looking at him, it seemed as if he was hesitating whether to knock on the door or not.
Seeing this, He Song felt a little puzzled but quickly walked up to him and invited him in,
"Brother Zhao, why don't you come in and have a chat?"
The sudden sound made Zhao Lin tremble, and he quickly produced a few Thick Earth Amulets. However, upon seeing that it was He Song who had spoken, Zhao Lin finally relaxed.
Ignoring how He Song appeared beside him, Zhao Lin put away the Thick Earth Amulets and then cupped his hands. "I shall follow your suggestion, let's go inside and chat."
Both of them entered the house together,
He Song used the Object Controlling Skills to clean up the dusty room and then invited Zhao Lin to sit at the table.
By the side of the desk,
He Song skillfully brewed tea.
When guests arrived, the common people cooked and the cultivators brewed tea, as this was the way to treat guests.
Although He Song didn't know what Zhao Lin was looking for, he still needed to provide hospitality.
While He Song brewed the tea,
Zhao Lin simply looked out the window, lost in thought.
It was only when the fragrance of tea filled the room and He Song placed a freshly brewed cup in front of Zhao Lin that he finally withdrew his gaze from the window and picked up the teacup.
Immediately after that, Zhao Lin sighed deeply,
"Fellow Daoist, do you know why I lingered outside your house for so long but never dared to knock on your door?"
Looking at He Song beside him, no emotions could be seen on Zhao Lin's face.
However, before He Song could respond,
Zhao Lin's voice sounded again,
"Fellow Daoist, more than half a month ago, I promised to findsomeone to take care of your seven-acre spirit field. Do you remember?"
As he spoke, Zhao Lin put down the teacup in his hand, stood up, and bowed to He Song.
Seeing this, He Song suddenly had a bad feeling..
Chapter 75: Encountering an Attack (1/5)
Could it be…
He Song forcefully suppressed the urge to ask about the reason.
He just stared at Zhao Lin without blinking, wanting to hear what he would say next.
Up ahead.
Zhao Lin bowed to He Song with a solemn expression.
"I've broken my promise. The person I entrusted with the task was killed several days ago, and your spirit field has been left untended for several days."
For the past half month since he left the Immortal Pavilion…
Everything had been going smoothly.
The person Zhao Lin found, for the sake of thirty spirit stones in remuneration, naturally tended to He Song's spirit field diligently.
However, things took an unexpected turn several days ago.
The person was suddenly killed.
When Zhao Lin returned today, he learned of everything and discovered that He Song's spirit field had been left untended for several days.
In light of this terrible news, Zhao Lin felt he had let down He Song's trust, which was why he came to He Song's residence hoping to make amends.
But unexpectedly, while hesitating outside He Song's house, he was seen by He Song, who had just returned home.
And so, the current situation unfolded.
However…
As Zhao Lin bowed and apologized to He Song, the latter let out a sigh of relief after hearing his words.
With no one tending the spirit field and inadequate spirit Qi supply, the yield would naturally decrease somewhat.
If this had persisted for ten days or half a month with insufficient spirit Qi supply, the decreased yield would then become irredeemable.
Luckily, he had only been gone for several days, so the situation was still manageable.
He had thought something more serious had happened.
So that's it?
"It's not a big deal. It's only been a few days. I'll just use the Spirit Rain Skill for an extra hour later, and the spirit Qi will naturally be replenished. There won't be any losses, so you're taking this matter too seriously," said He Song, waving his hand to show that he didn't mind.
Since there was no loss, the death of the person who was previously responsible wasn't related to He Song.
Naturally, He Song didn't care too much about it.
In his view, Zhao Lin's reaction was a bit excessive.
"Ah, I must have entrusted the wrong person. If any consequences truly arise, you're welcome to come find me, and I will make up for the losses, " Zhao Lin hurriedly promised.
This was his fault, so he would naturally bear any losses caused by it.
Though Zhao Lin was usually cautious, he was sensible enough to not let He Song bear the responsibility for this.
Keep in mind that He Song had already paid for this.
Although the person was dead and the agreed-upon thirty spirit stones were no longer needed as a reward, Zhao Lin still bore the responsibility for the incident.
To the side.
Seeing Zhao Lin like this, He Song could only helplessly wave his hand.
However, He Song soon remembered the matter Wei Fan had mentioned to him.
"If you can't get over it, my friend is helping me apply for the position of Medicine Garden Manager. If you could put in a good word for me, we can consider the matter settled," He Song proposed. Upstodatee from n(0)/v𝒆/lbIn/.(co/m
When he was with Wei Fan, the latter had mentioned this idea.
Although Wei Fan was a steward and a Qi-refining late-stage cultivator, he belonged to the Spirit Construction Pavilion.
Helping He Song apply for a position in the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion was not impossible, but if Zhao Lin, who was also a manager in the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion, submitted an application for He Song, his chances of becoming the manager would be even greater.
Now, taking advantage of this opportunity to settle this matter would be a good thing.
"Alright, consider it done," agreed Zhao Lin upon hearing He Song's words.
He Song had made it clear in his words that his friend was helping him apply for the position of Medicine Garden Manager.
It didn't matter who the friend was; what mattered was that someone was leading the effort, and all he had to do was submit the application.
At that time, regardless of whether He Song became the manager or not, Zhao Lin would still consider the matter settled.
With that in mind, Zhao Lin had no reason to refuse.
Having come to an agreement, the atmosphere between the two naturally became more amicable.
In He Song's residence.
The two exchanged cups of tea that were as fragrant and delightful as wine.
Time flew by.
After the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team descended upon Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion and left, He Song resumed his peaceful life.
At the same time, he quickly learned from other people in the Immortal Pavilion what the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team had been up to during the half-month they spent there.
Initially.
When the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team arrived at Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion, most of the cultivators had no idea what was about to happen.
Just like Zhao Lin, who hadn't planned on running away originally.
They even believed that the arrival of the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team would improve the atmosphere in the Immortal Pavilion.
However, after the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team successfully took control of the Immortal Pavilion Law Enforcement Team, ordered them to conduct a self-inspection, and smoothly purged several Evil Cultivators from their ranks…
The developments took everyone at the Immortal Pavilion by surprise.
Once the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team completely took control of the Immortal Pavilion Law Enforcement Team…
and thoroughly eradicated the malignant tumors within the ranks, they began to target the other cultivators.
Under the leadership of the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team…
The Immortal Pavilion Law Enforcement Team scattered to apprehend people characterized as notorious individuals, with any resistance met with instant execution.
In addition, some Immortal Pavilion cultivators and loose cultivators inexplicably disappeared.
This included wealthy cultivators and loose cultivators who had amassed fortunes through the Hundred Skills of Cultivation Truth.
Their residences were either left in ruin or remained untouched.
But they all shared one commonality.
Members of the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team had visited their residences.
Initially, all of this happened discreetly.
Until that day.
When the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team and the Immortal Pavilion Law Enforcement Team launched a joint operation, they executed a steward and two managers of the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion on the spot, and conducted an inquisition of all the people there.
Those found to have issues were executed on the spot, while the others were allowed to leave freely.
The missing individuals were also pushed out one by one, and subsequently executed.
On that day, executions outside of the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion caused heads to roll and blood to flow like a river.
At the same time, a piece of news also spread.
A steward and two managers of the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion had colluded with Evil Cultivators, deliberately allowing them to join the Immortal Pavilion. The Immortal City Law Enforcement Team was ordered to eliminate the Evil Cultivators in one fell swoop.
The Immortal City Law Enforcement Team was about to leave.
They wanted to use this as a deterrent.
The spread of this news, coupled with the massacre in the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion, etched this day into the minds of everyone at the Immortal Pavilion.
However, just as He Song learned of this news…
Another explosive piece of news shook the entire Green Wall Immortal City.
The Immortal City Law Enforcement Team, which had just left Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion…
was attacked on their way back to Green Wall Immortal City.
Two Qi-refining mid-stage cultivators were killed on the spot, one Qi-refining late-stage cultivator was besieged and killed, and the remaining two Qi-refining late-stage cultivators only managed to escape with their lives using their life-saving aces..
Chapter 76: One Year (2/5)
But they paid the price of both suffering heavy injuries.
When the news reached He Song, he paused for a moment.
Then his expression darkened.
"Are Evil Cultivators so bold now? They actually dare to attack the members of the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team within the Green Wall Immortal
City's area?"
As these thoughts flashed through his mind, He Song quickly understood.
Six years ago.
When Master Cheng Shan was not around.
Evil Cultivators had even besieged the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.
If Wei Fan hadn't intervened that time, He Song might still be struggling in the mortal world right now.
Evil Cultivators are called such for a reason.
As long as there are enough benefits, they can do things that leave people astonished.
Of course, ordinary cultivators could also turn into Evil Cultivators and perform acts of murder and robbery at certain times.
As long as no one finds out.
No one would chase after them.
This time, the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team completely wiped out the Evil Cultivators in Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion. The Evil Cultivators couldn't retaliate within the Immortal Pavilion, as Foundation Establishment Masters were present. Those Qi-refining stage Evil Cultivators would die as soon as they tried.
But just because they couldn't act within Immortal Pavilion didn't mean they couldn't act outside of it.
The Law Enforcement Team members had to leave Immortal Pavilion eventually, right?
Once they left the Immortal Pavilion, they wouldn't have the master's protection anymore.
By then…
He Song only needed to think for a moment to understand the cause.
At the same time, he sighed inwardly.
It seemed that the Cultivation World could not escape hatred and revenge either.
The attack on the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team by the Evil Cultivators didn't impact He Song much.
So after hearing about it, he merely lamented a bit and then put it out of his mind.
He was in Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.
And within the Immortal Pavilion, Master Cheng Shan was present.
As long as He Song was in the Immortal Pavilion, even if the Evil Cultivators outside raised hell, they couldn't affect him.
However, He Song continued to hear news about Green Wall Immortal City's efforts to suppress Evil Cultivators and the Evil Cultivators' sneak attacks on the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team from time to time.
The Law Enforcement Team, having lost one late stage and two mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators to the Evil Cultivators' attack, naturally couldn't let the matter rest.
So, the Green Wall Immortal City Law Enforcement Team began a crackdown on the local Evil Cultivators.
Today, there would be news of the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team killing several Evil Cultivators in a certain place.
Tomorrow, there would be news of Evil Cultivators launching sneak attacks on the Law Enforcement Team, resulting in several deaths and injuries.
As both sides fought back and forth, neither showed any signs of stopping, with news constantly coming in. Time went by day by day.
He Song's life was relatively peaceful. Upstodatee from n(0)/v𝒆/lbIn/.(co/m
It was worth mentioning that.
A few months after returning to the Immortal Pavilion, He Song successfully became the head of the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion.
With the help of Wei Fan and Zhao Lin, He Song also managed to secure the position of Medicine Garden administrator.
Since then.
He Song spent his days guarding the Medicine Garden and cultivating.
At night, he would return to his home, cultivating or comprehending skills in the Spirit-Gathering Array.
One year quickly passed.
On this day.
He Song's Earth Tunneling Skill had been practiced to the point where he could use it at will without losing its power.
However, despite studying for more than a year, He Song was still unable to complete the Five Phases Array.
According to He Song's estimation, it would take almost two more years to fully set up the Five Phases Array.
But.
Even so.
Only when He Song had practiced his Earth Tunneling Skill to the point where he could use it at will without any loss of power, did he shift his focus from the inside of the Immortal Pavilion to the outside.
With the Earth Tunneling Skill.
When he entered and exited the Immortal Pavilion, he would no longer be discovered by others.
Even if he encountered an Evil Cultivator after leaving the Immortal Pavilion, he wouldn't have to worry about being discovered by them.
After all, He Song not only used the Earth Tunneling Skill but also the Breath Concealment Formulas.
He was underground, without any traces of his breath.
Such concealment would make it extremely difficult for Qi-refining cultivators to detect He Song's movements.
In this way.
He Song's courage naturally grew.
Even if there were confrontations between the Evil Cultivators and the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team outside, He Song wouldn't have to worry about being discovered by others.
In that case, given that he will also have the Five Phases Array completed within two years.
At this moment.
Finding one or even several fields, then setting up a Spirit-Gathering Array, and turning them into spirit fields for backup, became He Song's goal at this moment.
Spirit fields are not ordinary fields.
Ordinary fields cannot grow spirit rice.
Spirit fields require a non-stop supply of spirit Qi day and night to nourish them, so they can transform a common field into a spirit field within a few years.
According to He Song's estimation.
If he set up a Spirit-Gathering Array and used it to confine the spirit Qi within a certain range, a common field could be transformed into a spirit field within two years.
By then, as long as he could successfully set up the Five Phases Array, he would be able to harvest spirit stones continuously from the spirit field. However, he didn't know how large this range should be.
If it were larger, he would need fewer arrays to set up.
If it were smaller, in order to ensure a continuous supply of spirit stones for the future, He Song would have to set up more arrays.
Standing up from the meditation mat.
He Song's gaze swept across the quiet room, and his hands quickly deactivated the Spirit-Gathering Array and the Illusion Array within the room.
He collected all the Array Foundations into his storage bag.
Thinking about it, a piece of thin paper appeared in He Song's hand.
Spirit power surged from his fingertip, and rows of characters quickly appeared on the paper.
"Wei, I need to undergo seclusive cultivation for a few days. I need your help to check the management of the Medicine Garden daily."
"He Song."
As He Song spat out spirit power, the paper immediately transformed into a sound -transmitting paper crane and flew skyward, heading towards the distance.
The management of the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion's Medicine Garden was a significant responsibility. He Song wouldn't feel at ease leaving it to others, so he needed Wei Fan to do it so he could feel more at ease.
Therefore, when he needed to select the location of the spirit field later, it was better to hand over the management duties to Wei Fan.
After all, He Song had once taken over Wei Fan's work at the Spirit Construction Pavilion last time.
In this way, it wouldn't seem unfamiliar.
After finishing all this, He Song didn't immediately use Earth Tunneling to leave. Instead, he walked out of the room and headed towards the Stall Section.
Stall Section.
It was still bustling, just like when He Song first arrived.
However, when He Song visited this time, he found many more unfamiliar faces in his line of sight.
Some familiar faces he knew had disappeared, replaced by completely unfamiliar new faces.
Seeing this scene, He Song sighed in his heart.
But soon, he cast aside the feeling of loss.
He purchased two bottles of Inedia Elixir at the Stall Section.
One bottle contained ten Inedia Elixirs, worth two spirit stones.
He spent four spirit stones on two bottles of Inedia Elixir.
One Inedia Elixir could suppress hunger for ten days, so He Song chose to buy two bottles just before leaving in case of emergency.
With two bottles of Inedia Elixir on him, he wouldn't need to bring spirit rice out again.
Though spirit rice tasted good and could enhance one's cultivation, it took up a lot of space, which He Song disliked while traveling..
