Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

Today.

It is the day He Song decides to breakthrough to the Qi-refining mid-stage!

Since Lin Cong had already proven that it is not that difficult for someone with four spirit roots to break through the Qi-refining mid-stage, He Song too didn’t prepare anything else after placing a dozen spirit stones around him, he determinedly began the breakthrough.

Breaking through from the third-tier Qi Refining to the fourth is not really difficult.

Of course, this “not difficult” is determined by He Song’s four spirits root talent.

The gap between four spirits root and five spirits root is quite noticeable.

For those with five spirits root, aiming to break from the third level of Qi Refining to the fourth, there will be a substantial bottleneck.

Like Meng Guan.

He has five spirits root.

When breaking through the Qi-refining mid-stage, Meng Guan found it more difficult than those with four spirits root.

During the breakthrough to the Qi-refining late stage, he was even more tormented by the bottleneck.

Just for that breakthrough, he had to leave the Immortal Pavilion to go mining, and he hasn’t returned to this day.

It’S wortn mentiomng tnat a montn atter master cneng snan returned to tne Immortal Pavilion, both He Song and Wei Fan received a sound -transmitting paper crane from Meng Guan.

In the message, Meng Guan said he encountered a huge crisis, and it was fortunate that he was in the mine when it happened. By activating the Breath Concealment Formulas, he hid in a secluded mine for several days before he managed to survive.

At the same time, He Song and Wei Fan learned from him what had happened in the Red Spirit Gold Mine those few days.

The Red Spirit Gold Mine was attacked by several Foundation Establishment Masters and dozens of cultivators in the Qi-refining late stage.

Many of the recruited loose cultivators there were slaughtered on spot.

Even one of the four Foundation Establishment Masters from the Thick Earth Sect, guarding the Red Spirit Gold Mine, was caught off guard and directly killed.

Luckily, among the three remaining Foundation Establishment Masters, one was a hidden Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Master, who forcefully withstood the pressure and sent out a distress signal.

The distress signal summoned the guardians of several surrounding Immortal Pavilions. Both sides fought with their spells for several days, each holding their own.

Only after several days, when the Foundation Establishment masters coming to assist from Green Wall Immortal City arrived, did the other party leave.

At the same time,

The guardians of the several surrounding Immortal Pavilions returned to their respective pavilions.

But what Meng Guan didn’t know was that all the Immortal Pavilions around had been attacked by evil cultivators.

Not until later did He Song and Wei Fan find out. Not only the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion had been attacked by evil cultivators, but the other pavilions without Foundation Establishment cultivator guardians were also under attack.

Meng Guan carefully came out of the mine only when the outside world had been quiet for several days, and he returned to the mining team.

After this adventure, Meng Guan was full of sighs. While expressing his gratitude to He Song and Wei Fan for their previous persuasion, he lamented his luck.

But if he had not been short of spirit stones and wanted to try his luck, he would not have gone mining, and so he decided to stay at the Red Spirit Gold Mine.

The Red Spirit Gold Mine now had a few more Foundation Establishment masters guarding it, and its safety had further improved.

Moreover, he had nowhere else to go.

So, he could only continue to mine in the mining area.

Now that three years have passed, all He Song knew was that Meng Guan was still mining, with no knowledge of anything else.

For those with four spirit root,

Like Lin Cong, he didn’t encounter any bottleneck when breaking through to the Qi-refining mid- stage.

When he decided to challenge, the spirit power in his body started to revolve at high speed.

Then he broke through the bottleneck.

It was straightforward.

As he activated the Thick Earth Formulas,

He Song’s body began to absorb the spirit Qi around him constantly.

With the continuous influx of spirit Qi, the spiritual power within He Song’s body began to grow at this moment.

When the spiritual power in his body grew to its maximum.

Continuing to operate the Thick Earth Formulas, He Song instantly felt a complete harmony throughout his body. It was as if his entire being had loosened, and the extreme sense of comfort from the breakthrough in his cultivation instantly surged to his heart.

In a blink of an eye, He Song successfully broke through to the fourth tier of Qi Refining.

Feeling the rapid increase in the spiritual power within his body and detecting the increased speed of the external spirit Qi transforming into his spiritual power, He Song rejoiced.

He succeeded!

Just by operating Thick Earth Formulas, he had naturally broken through to the fourth- tier of Qi Refining.

After enjoying the pleasure of a successful breakthrough in his cultivation.

He Song continued to operate Thick Earth Formulas, beginning to consolidate his cultivation.

If a breakthrough in cultivation has just occurred, any unexpected events could easily cause one to revert back to their previous state.

Only after thoroughly consolidating one’s cultivation can one flawlessly control it without any unexpected issues arising.

This was also why Lin Cong had decided to leave immediately after receiving He Song’s sound-transmitting paper crane.

At that time, Lin Cong had just broken through to the fourth tier of Qi Refining, and still needed to consolidate his cultivation.

It is likely that he would face a lot of trouble if anything unfortunate happened while in the Immortal Pavilion.

Time was fleeting.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

During this month, apart from using the Spirit Rain Skill on his managed spirit field for half an hour each day, He Song had stayed at home to consolidate his cultivation.

Now, after a month, He Song’s cultivation at the fourth-tier of Qi Refining has finally been fully consolidated.

At this point, no matter how casually he performed a skill, He Song’s cultivation level would not fall below its present realm.

Not until then.

Did He Song completely set his mind at ease.

He no longer spent each day immersed in the thoughts of consolidating his cultivation.

However, since his cultivation had already broken through to the Qi-refining mid-stage, it was now time for He Song to go to the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion and expand the number of spirit fields under his management.

In the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion, once a cultivator reaches the Qi-refining mid-stage, their status and benefits greatly improve.

Take the case of spiritual plant farmers, for example.

A spiritual plant farmer at the Qi Refining Early Stage, can generally only manage a five-acre spirit field, as the amount of spiritual power in their body is limited, and the Spirit Rain Skill cannot cover a larger area.

Each acre of spirit field yields thirty spirit stones per year, producing a total of one hundred and fifty spirit stones.

But if a spiritual plant farmer breaks through to the Qi-refining mid-stage.

The area of spirit fields they can manage increases to seven acres. Compared to the previous five acres, the addition of two more acres to reach seven acres doesn’t seem like much of a difference.

However, the actual yearly income substantially increases.

Still considering each acre of spirit field yields thirty spirit stones per year, seven acres can produce a total of two hundred and ten spirit stones per year.

After deducting the mandatory one hundred and twenty spirit stones as rent, the number of discretionary spirit stones increases from thirty at five acres to ninety now!

The difference between thirty and ninety spirit stones per year is extremely significant.

In this way, Qi-refining mid-stage cultivators can control a much larger number of spirit stones compared to Qi-refining early-stage cultivators.

However, when advancing to the Qi-refining mid-stage, you need to report to someone from the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion before you can officially receive the additional two acres of spirit fields.

Fortunately, the connections Meng Guan had set up for He Song were still available.

Zhao Lin, who succeeded Meng Guan as the manager of the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion, didn’t perish in the previous calamity.

And due to the sudden decrease in the number of loose cultivators in the Immortal City, the surviving cultivators were deeply touched. As a result, whenever they encountered someone they knew from the past, they would engage in a sentimental conversation..
