Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

Two years had passed.

Under He Song’s arrangement of four Spirit-Gathering Arrays, the once ordinary ten-acre plot of land had been successfully transformed into a spirit field.

The spirit Qi circulated ceaselessly within the soil, which was a unique characteristic of spirit fields.

Only in such soil could spirit rice thrive.

This meant…

After all these years of planning,

He Song’s plan to grow spirit fields outside and increase his income was officially on track!

Now, all He Song needed to do was plant the spirit rice seeds, and as time went by, the hidden ten-acre spirit field would yield nearly a thousand spirit stones of income for He Song each year!

With such a huge windfall, He Song would no longer struggle with a lack of spirit stones, as he had in the past.

Furthermore, with enough spirit stones, he could enjoy the most luxurious cultivation environment.

Elixirs for cultivation improvement? Buy them!

Cultivation-improving tea leaves? Buy them!

Cultivation-boosting foods? Buy them!

Cultivation-boosting…

In short,

As long as He Song’s spirit field started producing, He Song would never lack cultivation resources.

A scene of drinking tea and eating meals all for cultivation improvement flashed through He Song’s mind, and with a wave of his hand, the Eighteen Foundations of Array Skill appeared.

This was the Array Foundation of the Five Phases Array.

It was different from the Array Foundation of the Spirit-Gathering Array, which involved only five arrays.

It was also different from the Nine Array Foundation of the Illusion Array.

The Five Phases Array, as an offensive and defensive array, required eighteen Foundations of Array Skill.

These eighteen Array Foundations were He Song’s greatest gains over the past two years.

With a flick of the finger,

Under He Song’s directions, the Eighteen Foundations of Array Skill quickly turned into streaks of light, flying in all directions.

Shortly, with a flash of faint light, the Five Phases Array was laid out by He Song.

Feeling the slight murderous aura intertwined with the Five Phases Array, He Song’s heart eased.

With the protection of the Five Phases Array,

Even if the spirit field was discovered by others, He Song would not have to worry about his safety.

Even if someone were to block him in the valley,

As long as the Five Phases Array was present, He Song could either flee or launch a surprise attack with great effect.

Furthermore,

If the valley was discovered while he was away,

With the Five Phases Array, if the intruder was careless or low in cultivation, they might even die in the array.

Maybe the next time he returned, he would find a cultivator’s corpse and storage bag in the valley?

The idea crossed He Song’s mind, but he quickly shook it off.

It did not matter if a cultivator died.

What he feared was if a junior died, a senior would come.

If that were to happen, He Song would immediately move everything from here to another location.

Even if it came at some cost, it would be worth it.

In the Cultivation World,

Caution was always the best policy.

With this thought in mind,

He Song manipulated the Five Phases Array to cover the entire valley, then began to manipulate the Illusion Array.

The coverage area of the Illusion Array had to be larger than that of the Five Phases Array.

Otherwise, someone might step out before getting mentally confused and turn back from the Illusion Array, only to fall into the Five Phases Array and be killed by it.

He Song did not want this to happen, so naturally, the coverage area of the Illusion Array needed adjustments.

Soon,

He Song had completely adjusted the coverage area of the Illusion Array.

At this point, He Song had mastered the three major entry-tier arrays; as long as he drew the corresponding Array Foundations, he could deploy the complete array.

After completing all of this, He Song let out a sigh of relief.

Next, a big bag appeared in his hand.

The bag was large, not a storage bag, but an ordinary one.

In the span of these two years, all spirit rice seeds He Song had obtained by taking advantage of his position were in this bag.

Opening the bag, used the Object Controlling Skills to instantly scatter the entire bag of spirit rice seeds and sprinkled them into the ten-acre spirit field according to the planting methods.

Having done all this, He Song threw the bag away, finally allowing himself to breathe a sigh of relief.

The spirit rice had been planted.

There was an abundance of spirit Qi here, so there was no need to cast the Spirit Rain Skill daily.

There was also a small stream nearby, ensuring a constant water supply.

He Song just needed to visit once a year, replenish the spirit stones for the array, harvest the spirit rice, and sow the seeds for the following year.

Visit once a year.

No need to worry about anything else.

An annual income of a thousand spirit stones.

Such a low-risk, low-investment, yet high-income venture was possible only because He Song himself was an Array Path Master.

If it were any other cultivator, just inviting an Array Path Master to arrange the three major arrays would require massive resources, and there was no guarantee they would be able to find one.

“It’s good that I didn’t choose any other Hundred Skills of Cultivation Truth back then, or else I wouldn’t have come this far,” He Song quietly sighed as he looked at the lingering mist above the valley.

At first,

He chose the array tao because it did not require start-up capital.

Although he spent many spirit stones drawing Array Foundations during his studies of array tao, the spirit Qi generated from the shattered spirit stones was absorbed by himself.

In this way, the spirit Qi was not wasted, and his cultivation improved rapidly.

Meanwhile, other Hundred Skills of Cultivation Truth would lose everything once a mistake was made.

For example, Amulet Tao.

If the drawing of amulets failed, the amulet paper and ink would be rendered unusable.

Elixir refinement was similar.

Once failed, the materials in the elixir furnace could not be salvaged.

The same applied to artifact refinement and Beast Taming.

Only in array tao could a cultivator absorb the enormous amount of spirit Qi generated from shattered stones when the drawing of Array Foundations failed, which could somewhat speed up their cultivation progress.

With one last look at the peaceful and beautiful valley,

He Song quickly vanished into the ground again, rapidly heading towards the Immortal Pavilion.

Visiting once a year, replenishing the spirit stones for the array, and harvesting spirit rice would be enough here. His primary focus,

Should still be placed on the Immortal Pavilion.

After all, only in the Immortal Pavilion could He Song’s cultivation and combat prowess be rapidly elevated.

Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.

Without alerting anyone, He Song returned to the Immortal Pavilion from hundreds of miles away.

Coming and going,

Didn’t even require a full day.

Half a day was more than enough.

Fortunately, He Song had picked an appropriate day before leaving, as he was not needed at the Medicine Garden today.

Thus, his departure from the Immortal Pavilion did not raise any suspicions.

Even Wei Fan and He Song’s neighbors had no idea of his whereabouts.

Back in his quiet chamber,

He Song checked the small mechanism he had set up before leaving, and upon finding that it had not been triggered, he finally let out a sigh of relief..
