Chapter 215 - 215: 207: Encountering an Old Friend (3000 Words Major Chapter)
Yu’er seemed a bit confused, not knowing whether she understood or not.
But He Song didn’t mind.
After naming her, he casually tossed her aside and shifted his gaze toward the outside of the cave mansion.
Outside the cave mansion.
There were dozens of acres of spirit fields, as well as some medicine gardens, waiting for him to harvest.
After four years, thanks to the existence of two small spirit-gathering arrays with abundant spirit stones, the concentration of spirit Qi in He Song’s cave mansion was fairly high.
One might even say it was very dense.
In such circumstances, whether it was the spirit fields He Song had cultivated on the flat ground.
Or the medicinal garden he had established on the small hill, the spirit rice and spirit medicine growing within were all sufficiently nourished by the rich spirit Qi.
Moreover, it had been four years since He Song had harvested the spirit rice and spirit medicine from this place.
Therefore.
When He Song came to the spirit rice field, ready to harvest the spirit rice that had been planted for four years.
As soon as he arrived, he noticed something unusual.
The spirit rice planted here, which hadn’t been harvested for a full four years, seemed different from the spirit rice he had harvested before.
Having not been harvested for four years.
The spirit rice here had been continuously absorbing dense spirit Qi.
Under the nourishment of this dense spirit Qi.
The rice grains on the spirit rice had undergone subtle changes.
They were larger than ordinary spirit rice, and they contained even more spirit
By appearance, they looked far better than ordinary spirit rice.
Seeing this.
He Song was surprised, but he soon seemed to realize something, and a flash of understanding crossed his mind.
Spirit rice.
During the Qi Refining stage, it could increase the cultivation speed of cultivators.
This increase in cultivation speed was at its best during the Qi Refining stage.
By the time of the Foundation Establishment Realm, when He Song ate spirit rice, there was only a minimal increase in his mana.
Put simply.
Having reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, although He Song still had a constant supply of spirit rice daily, the improvement effect the spirit rice brought to his cultivation was much less than it had been during the Qi Refining stage.
While there was still an increase.
Compared with the Qi Refining stage, it was much less.
Though that’s the case, in the absence of other substitutes, the majority of Foundation Establishment Masters would continue consuming spirit rice.
Though the increase in cultivation was small, cultivation was accumulated bit by bit, and no one would think it was too much.
This was why the price of spirit rice remained stable.
A large number of Qi Refining stage cultivators consumed spirit rice, and many cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Realm did the same.
Under such vast consumption.
The cultivation of spirit rice in the Immortal Pavilions, Immortal Cities, and Sects was naturally not small.
Basically, they were all able to maintain a slight surplus in the output of spirit rice.
The production of spirit rice required consumption of spirit Qi, and the total amount of spirit Qi remained basically constant.
If spirit rice is produced crazily.
Then the Spirit Qi supplied to cultivators in the Sects, Immortal Pavilions, and Immortal Cities would naturally be reduced.
This was why the sects and aristocratic families that occupy a certain territory wouldn’t produce spirit rice crazily.
Spirit rice.
Just enough is sufficient.
Having too much would affect the cultivators’ cultivation.
The losses would outweigh the gains.
However, He Song, who was in the Thick Earth Sect, had heard some rumors.
According to the rumors.
Above normal spirit rice.
There were even more precious spirit rice varieties that could speed up the cultivation of those at the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Originally, He Song didn’t pay much attention to this.
Because his cultivation was primarily based on elixirs, the dense spirit Qi from small spirit-gathering arrays, and some other auxiliary methods that could improve cultivation.
As for the spirit rice, it actually only accounted for a small portion.
Until today.
When He Song looked at the spirit rice in front of him, which hadn’t been harvested for four years and already contained more spirit Qi than ordinary spirit rice, he suddenly realized something. The rumors he heard before weren’t just rumors.
They were truly existing.
If there were rumors, there must be a method to cultivate them.
If he were to cultivate this kind of spirit rice, which can speed up the cultivation of those at the Foundation Establishment Realm, in the future.
Then wouldn’t he have a more efficient method of earning spirit stones than ordinary spirit rice?
With such a thought crossing his mind.
After thinking, He Song quickly decided that he may need to return to the sect this time.
He needed to go to the sect’s Book Collection Pavilion to see if there were any cultivation methods for this kind of spirit rice.
Even if he couldn’t find it.
Perhaps he could find some methods to cultivate other spirit plants.
With the methods to cultivate other spirit plants, he might be able to earn spirit stones by cultivating other spirit plants or spirit medicines.
Rather than having to work hard and trouble himself to sell them in various Immortal Pavilions after harvesting the spirit rice, as he did before.
After thinking of this, He Song quickly started to harvest the spirit rice in front of him, which was already quite different from the ordinary spirit rice, and put all the spirit rice into his storage bag.
After harvesting the spirit rice.
He Song went up to the small hill and harvested all the spirit medicines grown in the medicine garden on the hill.
After completing these two tasks.
He Song once again looked around, and soon began to dismantle the spirit fields and medicine garden he had previously created.
Since this cave mansion was going to be abandoned.
Before removing the array, it was necessary to restore this place to its original state.
Foundation Establishment cultivators have great physical abilities.
They can manipulate their mana to quickly envelop a large area around them.
Therefore,
He Song quickly dealt with all the traces within the Smoke Array.
In a very short time, He Song managed to take care of dozens of acres of spirit fields and several Medicine Gardens.
He even blocked off the cave mansion he had set up for seclusive cultivation.
After doing all this,
He Song did not dismantle the Smoke Array, he merely removed the two small Spirit-Gathering Arrays in the cave mansion.
He had other matters to attend to on this return.
Once everything else was taken care of, he could come back and take Yu’er away.
It would draw too much attention if he disbanded the Smoke Array at this location and carried Yu’er around with him.
After erasing all traces related to the spirit fields, Medicine Gardens, and Array
Skills within the Smoke Array,
He Song casually threw Yu’er by the riverside.
He quickly sank into the ground and headed towards the not-too-distant Green Wall Immortal City.
Green Wall Immortal City, was the nearest Immortal City from here.
He needed to go there to purchase some necessary items for puppet making.
Tens of miles outside the Green Wall Immortal City,
He Song’s figure emerged from the ground.
Concealment Skill, restricting his own breath to the ninth-tier Qi Refining.
Then, he started the Mountain Wind Riding Skill earnestly and shot towards the direction of the Green Wall Immortal City.
Once again arriving at the Green Wall Immortal City.
As He Song stepped into it, a trace of vicissitude flashed across his eyes.
He still remembered when,
His foundation was still in Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion, his cultivation level was at the Qi-refining mid-stage when Wei Fan wanted to invite him to the Green Wall Immortal City for gaining more experience.
At that time, he politely declined for his own safety.
Later, until his cultivation level broke through to the seventh-tier Qi Refining.
Only when Meng Guan summoned him, did he come together with Wei Fan from Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion to the Green Wall Immortal City.
That was the first time he entered an Immortal City.
His impression of Green Wall Immortal City was extremely profound.
It was also from that time onwards,
He,
Wei Fan,
Their fates changed drastically.
He Song originally thought that he would only have one chance to reach the Foundation Establishment stage before the age of sixty, like other cultivators with four spirits roots.
But who would have expected that after Meng Guan successfully reached the Foundation Establishment, he directly took him and Wei Fan into the Thick Earth Sect and became disciples of the Thick Earth Sect.
Although He Song could have successfully reached the Foundation
Establishment without joining the Thick Earth Sect or having the Foundation
Establishment Elixir ,
But because he joined the Thick Earth Sect ahead of time and obtained enough Foundation Establishment Elixirs, as well as insights for Foundation Establishment.
He completed the Foundation Establishment faster than he had originally planned.
Under such circumstances,
His first visit to the Green Wall Immortal City did indeed change his destiny.
But now,
As he once again set foot in the Green Wall Immortal City,
He found that everything here had already changed beyond recognition.
Perhaps within the Green Wall Immortal City, there is no one who recognizes him anymore?
A trace of vicissitudes flashed in his eyes, as He Song pressed on without a change in his expression.
He needs to find the precious materials needed for his puppet making.
Presumably,
Those materials can be found within the Immortal City.
However, as He Song moved forward to purchase the materials he needed,
His gaze swept across the surroundings, and his body suddenly stopped in its tracks.
Not far away,
A young girl was staring at He Song with a stunned expression on her face.
Only when He Song noticed her and their eyes met, did the girl’s expression change from shock to joy.
“Song?”
As the familiar voice echoed in his ears, a trace of blankness flashed in He Song’s eyes.
In that moment,
The image of the young girl in front of He Song seemed to overlap with the image of a little girl from many years ago.
Then, from the figure of the little girl into the radiant and beautiful young girl of today.
“Su Yan?”
He lightly called out the name of the girl in front of him, but he was also reminded of a conversation he had with Su Yan many years ago.
Back then, He Song learned from Zhao Lin’s message that Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion was likely to be attacked.
Zhao Lin had even specially informed He Song at that time that if he was concerned about Su Yan’s safety, he needed to be prepared to go to Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion to take Su Yan away.
But at that time, He Song had no such plans.
At that time, He Song merely informed Su Yan about it, and then put the matter out of his mind.
But who would have expected-
Su Yan, who had taken his advice and left Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion, had actually come to the Green Wall Immortal City.
And today, after so many years, she appeared in front of him again.
Looking at Su Yan, whose appearance and aura hadn’t changed in the slightest, but whose cultivation had changed from mid-stage Qi Refining to ninth-tier Qi Refining, He Song felt as if time had flown by.
The Su Yan in front of him seemed to have returned to being the little girl from back then.
However, very soon,
The look in He Song’s eyes became calm again.
Although today’s Su Yan is still the same person as the Su Yan of the past, The relationship between the two of them has gradually changed. If before, the relationship between Su Yan and He Song was purely that of neighbors,
Then now….
