Chapter 57 - 57: Fighting for Life
Meng Guan’s decision to stay in Immortal City.
When Wei Fan first found out, he actually found it difficult to understand.
He also tried to persuade him.
But.
When Meng Guan told Wei Fan what was in his heart, Wei Fan fell silent.
“Wei, from the moment I left Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion three years ago, my fate was already set: either fight to the death to successfully achieve Foundation Establishment, or fall on the road to Foundation Establishment.
There’s no other way.”
“I’m a Five Spirits Roots cultivator, unlike you with your four spirits roots talent. If I follow the normal course of cultivation, I’d be able to get a glimpse of the Foundation Establishment Realm before turning sixty.”
“Although not using the Foundation Establishment Elixir to forcefully break through would make the probability of breaking through to Foundation Establishment very low, it gives me, a Five Spirits Roots cultivator, that little bit more chance of achieving Foundation Establishment.”
“If there is no opportunity, and I don’t fight for it with my life, my cultivation would reach the limit of Qi-refining late stage. That’s why I left Immortal Pavilion and gambled everything.”
“Fortunately, my gamble was right. Now, having broken through the bottleneck of the Qi-refining late stage, the road ahead is smooth. I just need to train as soon as possible and succeed in refining to the ninth- tier Qi Refining stage before turning sixty, then I can explore the Foundation
Establishment Realm.”
“Unfortunately, I squandered my youth and didn’t learn a particular skill. It’s too late to regret it now.”
“Helpless.”
“The Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion is too small. Only in Immortal City can I find enough cultivation resources to hope for a glimpse of the Foundation Establishment Realm before turning sixty.”
“Brother Wei, take care.”
Wei Fan let out a long sigh as he recalled the conversation with Meng Guan after Meng’s breakthrough.
He then recited this passage to He Song.
He Song also fell silent upon hearing this.
Spirit Construction Pavilion.
Second floor
He Song never expected that Meng Guan had already made such a plan three years ago.
Perhaps, from the day he resigned from the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion and left Immortal Pavilion, Meng Guan had already made up his mind?
Either break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm and become a revered Foundation Establishment Master.
Or fall on the road to the Foundation Establishment Realm, becoming an unattended corpse by the roadside.
There is no other way.
“Ah, it seems that Old Meng has really made up his mind. I hope he has smooth sailing in Immortal City.”
After a long time, He Song picked up the cup of tea on the table, raised it in the direction of Green Wall Immortal City, and then drank it in one gulp.
This cup of tea is a blessing.
Blessing Meng Guan to have smooth sailing in Immortal City.
With his current low level of cultivation, He Song was unable to help Meng Guan.
So he could only give his blessings, hoping Meng Guan could achieve his goal.
After all, Meng Guan was the guide of He Song’s previous life, and had done a great favor for the current He Song.
If it weren’t for Meng Guan gifting him the book “Spiritual Plant Cultivation Skill”, He Song’s days as a loose cultivator would not have been easy.
Although he couldn’t help for now, he would not be stingy with his blessings.
“Hopefully.”
Wei Fan, who was sitting next to him, shook his head with a smile. Although he felt it would be of little use, he didn’t say a word against it.
Foundation Establishment Realm, it’s not so easy.
The thought flashed through his mind, but Wei Fan didn’t voice it out loud, choosing to keep it in his heart instead.
In the following time.
The two of them, who hadn’t seen each other for months, talked about their experiences during this time.
He Song also gained a better understanding of the distant Green Wall Immortal City.
Green Wall Immortal City.
Under the jurisdiction of the Golden Elixir Great Faction, Thick Earth Sect.
Located more than two thousand miles north of Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.
In Green Wall Immortal City, there were all sorts of cultivators coming and going like loose cultivators, sect disciples, noble family members, and Immortal Pavilion cultivators. It was a mixed bag.
Even a quarter of the city was specially set aside for mortals to live in.
This was a city where immortals and mortals coexisted.
The mortals in the city were mostly descendants of cultivators and had close ties with cultivators in the city.
They usually made a living by doing things that cultivators were unwilling to do.
Several Foundation Establishment Masters were stationed in the city all year round, ensuring its safety.
Some of these Foundation Establishment Masters belonged to the Thick Earth Sect, others to cultivating families’ ancestral masters, and even some rumored to be loose cultivators who had established their foundation and lived in the city.
The presence of several Foundation Establishment Masters greatly enhanced the security of Green Wall Immortal City.
Masters for the cultivators in the city.
Because no one knows whether the person you unintentionally offend will have a Foundation Establishment Master behind them.
At the same time, it also allowed cultivators who had reached the late stage of Qi-refining and wanted to further step into Foundation Establishment Realm to have the opportunity to climb upwards.
In the Immortal City, there were many more Qi-refining late stage cultivators than in the Immortal Pavilion.
Like Meng Guan, there were quite a few Qi-refining late-stage cultivators in the city who wanted to stay and prepare to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
However, the huge gap between the Qi-refining stage and Foundation Establishment stopped many people.
Over the years.
These Qi-refining late-stage cultivators usually ran businesses to earn spirit stones, accumulating them.
Firstly, if a Foundation Establishment Elixir appeared at the auction house, they could participate in the bidding.
Secondly, if they couldn’t get the Foundation Establishment Elixir, they could leave the earned spirit stones for their descendants with spirit roots, giving them better chances of breaking through to Foundation Establishment.
Thirdly, for those in the late stage of Qi-refining for whom progress was no longer possible, it was necessary to have something to pass the time because long-term stagnation would easily produce inner demons.
Fourthly…
Thus, under the fierce competition of countless late-stage Qi-refining cultivators in Green Wall Immortal City, loose cultivators like Meng Guan would certainly find it easier to obtain cultivation resources than in Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.
There’s no need to risk their lives, and their personal safety was guaranteed.
Furthermore, due to the large number of late-stage Qi-refining cultivators involved, the resources that could be obtained within the city were even greater.
Meng Guan, staying in Green Wall Immortal City, would probably lead a more comfortable life with his seventh-tier Qi-refining cultivation. At the same time, Meng Guan’s cultivation would also improve rapidly.
Through Wei Fan’s description,
He Song gained a general understanding of Green Wall Immortal City and the cultivators there.
He also had no other opinions about Meng Guan’s decision to stay in Green Wall Immortal City.
He might as well stay.
After all, he would live a comfortable life in the Immortal City.
If something happens in the future and Meng Guan could no longer stay in Immortal City, He Song and Wei Fan, who were in Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion, could still provide a way out for Meng Guan.
Ultimately,
He Song returned home to continue his cultivation after handing over his duties as the steward of the Spirit Construction Pavilion to Wei Fan. It had been several days since he returned from the Spirit Skill Pavilion.
In those days,
He Song’s control of the Fireball Skill had improved leaps and bounds.
This was thanks to his strong soul from crossing over, which made him study skills much faster than ordinary cultivators.
Now,
Since Wei Fan had returned and He Song no longer needed to go to the Spirit Construction Pavilion for duty every day, he naturally went back home to continue his skill cultivation..
