Chapter 64 - 64: 64: A Late Reward
Object Controlling Skills, manipulating one’s spirit power to separate from their body, and controlling objects.
Under He Song’s manipulation, anything from tables and chairs to teacups and tea leaves could be controlled like extensions of his own limbs within a range of about 30 meters after being enveloped with spirit power.
If controlling Artifacts in the future, he was afraid the distance would be the same.
A cultivator at the Qi-refining mid stage can project their spirit power at most about 30 meters away from their body.
Of course, the attack range is basically within 30 meters, and the distance of spirit power projection will increase substantially as their cultivation level increases.
Therefore, He Song’s control of objects within 30 meters with his spirit power was considered normal.
30 meters distance isn’t far, but it isn’t near either.
At the Qi-refining late stage, the distance will increase somewhat, probably around 60 meters.
At the Foundation Establishment Stage, it’s controlled by divine sense. The distance covered by divine sense scanning in the Foundation Establishment Early Stage is about 2 kilometers.
Such a huge gap gives Qi-refining late-stage cultivators a significant advantage when facing Qi-refining mid-stage cultivators. Whether it’s ambush or pursuit, they held a longer advantage.
As for Foundation Establishment Masters:
If surrounded by a group of Qi Refining stage cultivators.
Even if all the attackers were at the Qi-refining late stage.
There would still be no chance for victory.
When controlling Artifacts to attack with divine sense, a Foundation
Establishment Master would he able to kill however many Oi Refining
cultivators come, killing one at the Qi-refining late stage would be even easier than killing a small chick.
For Qi Refining stage cultivators:
Within 2 kilometers, Foundation Establishment Masters were like the sky above.
This is also why there is basically only one Foundation Establishment Master guarding each Immortal Pavilion.
Having a Foundation Establishment Master there, Evil Cultivators wouldn’t dare to attack the Immortal Pavilion directly, only daring to do small things on the outside. Naturally, the Immortal Pavilion wouldn’t need to arrange a
Defensive Array.
It would be too costly.
On the periphery of the Immortal Pavilion, where the divine senses of Foundation Establishment Masters couldn’t reach, they only needed to dispatch the Law Enforcement Team to patrol.
With a Foundation Establishment Master in place, the Immortal Pavilion couldn’t fall into chaos.
Any movement, and the wrath of the Foundation Establishment Master would come.
Only the Immortal City would arrange a Defensive Great Array, but it wouldn’t be activated all the time.
Of course:
This refers only to the ultimate attack range.
Under the vast majority of circumstances, even when Foundation Establishment Masters fought, they wouldn’t start attacking each other with a 2-kilometer gap.
Even late-stage Qi-refining cultivators wouldn’t launch an attack from such a distance.
Fights and battles between cultivators required accuracy too.
Apart from Object Controlling Skills:
The second skill He Song practiced was Stone Breaking Finger.
Object Controlling Skills and Stone Breaking Finger are both intermediate skills.
Since he could freely cast Object Controlling Skills without diminishing power after only a month, it should be reasonable that Stone Breaking Finger wouldn’t be far off either.
Nothing happened unexpectedly:
Another month later:
He Song activated Stone Breaking Finger and pointed out.
A golden light suddenly shot out from He Song’s finger and landed directly on the floor of the room.
He Song only felt a flash of golden light before his eyes and the golden light shot out from his fingertips had disappeared into the darkness underground.
On the floor, only a pitch-black little hole remained, and it was unknown how deep it went.
But in He Song’s opinion, it must be deeper than the small hole created by the Spiritual Arrow Skill.
To be noted:
The Spiritual Arrow Skill is just a small skill in killing spirit field pests.
It can’t even be considered a basic skill.
On the other hand, Stone Breaking Finger?
Stone Breaking Finger is an intermediate attack skill!
It cost He Song a hundred spirit stones to purchase it from the Spirit Skill Pavilion.
The power of these two skills could be easily imagined, and there was no comparability.
However. since he was in the Immortal Pavilion. He Song couldn’t test the
specific power of the Stone Breaking Finger.
Left with no choice, after he could freely cast Stone Breaking Finger without losing power each day, he devoted some time to practicing and then started using the rest of his time to practice Earth Tunneling Skill, the one high-quality skill he had left to learn!
Earth Tunneling Skill:
It was the only high-quality skill He Song had purchased.
When cast, it allowed the user to travel in the ground at an extremely fast speed.
It was also the key skill He Song relied on when he was out cultivating spirit fields.
As soon as He Song started to learn it, he immediately felt that Earth Tunneling Skill was abstruse and difficult to understand; it might not be something he could learn within a short period of time.bender
However, even so:
He still practiced Earth Tunneling Skill every day in the hopes of mastering it swiftly.
Yet:
While He Song was engrossed in studying Earth Tunneling Skill and couldn’t extricate himself, the surprise visit of a person broke the calmness of his original life.
In the third month after He Song got the three skills from the Spirit Skill Pavilion:
One day:
“Mr. He, quickly open the door. I’ve brought your reward.” Zhao Lin’s voice came from outside the house, causing He Song, who was still practicing Earth Tunneling Skill, to open his eyes suddenly.
Zhao Lin was the connection He Song left behind when Meng Guan went to the Red Spirit Gold Mine to mine.
When He Song had just broken through to the Qi-refining mid stage, it was Zhao Lin who kindly helped him with the matter of adding new spirit fields, which allowed him to save a lot of time each day.
However, it also made Chen Zhou hate He Song. In the end, He Song had no choice but to send Chen Zhou to Yama’s place.
He came today to see himself and even said it was to give out a reward?
What reward?
Full of doubts, He Song opened the door and welcomed Zhao Lin in.
After more than three years, the relationship between He Song and Zhao Lin hadn’t become strange; instead, they had become more familiar since both were in the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion.
As the two were already good friends, and now they were even closer. With the Illusion Array hiding the two arrays inside the room, He Song didn’t worry about being discovered and didn’t refuse Zhao Lin to enter his residence.
But just as He Song led Zhao Lin into the room, a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind.
He remembered!
Before sending Chen Zhou to see Yama, He Song had informed Zhao Lin in advance and asked him to remove Chen Zhou’s name from the list of spiritual plant farmers. Zhao Lin said at that time:
He said that Chen Zhou had bullied the weak, extorted spirit stones, and committed all kinds of evils; ridding of him by He Song was considered a great merit. He wanted to apply for a merit reward for He Song and said he would personally deliver the reward to He Song’s doorstep.
Originally, after three years had passed, Zhao Lin didn’t get to apply for the reward, so He Song gradually forgot about it.
He thought that Zhao Lin was not careful enough at work.
Little did he expect that after several years, Zhao Lin would indeed bring him the reward today?
This… was a complete surprise!
Thinking of this, He Song looked at Zhao Lin with a hint of interest in his eyes.
The delayed reward for three years:
Finally arrived today.
He just didn’t know what the reward was.
He Song didn’t rush it, and though he was curious in his heart, he didn’t ask directly.
Instead, after welcoming Zhao Lin into the room, he leisurely started to make a pot of good tea for him.
When the room was filled with the aroma of tea, He Song then asked:
“Fellow Daoist, where does this reward come from? As far as I know, though
I’m a spiritual plant farmer, I don’t think I’ve made any contributions to the
Immortal Pavilion. Why would there be a reward?”
Telling lies with his eyes wide open, He Song was indeed an expert.
Although he had already remembered where the reward came from, He Song simply pretended that he didn’t recall it..
