Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

Feeling a massive presence close by.

He Song subconsciously extended his hand and patted Yu’er’s shell, which was as smooth as white jade.

Only after this did Yu’er stop her movements, although her eyes were fixed on He Song without blinking, seemingly excited about He Song’s return.

Noticing this and confirming that Yu’er still felt so close to him.

A warm current flashed through He Song’s heart.

Any previous concerns he had about Yu’er’s cultivation level not having a breakthrough dissipated like smoke.

Forget it.

If the cultivation level is slow, so be it.

After all, spirit turtles have long lifespans.

If necessary, he could spend some spirit stones to buy treasures that would allow Yu’er to quickly increase her cultivation level.

Purchasing items required by Foundation Establishment spirit beasts was no significant cost for He Song, who was now at the Golden Core Middle Stage.

With this idea suddenly crossing his mind, He Song scanned his surroundings and quickly found the puppet he left behind in the cave mansion to care for the spirit medicine and Yu’er.

This puppet had considerable strength, on par with Yu’er’s, and was at the Foundation Establishment level.

It could guard the cave mansion and feed Beasts Elixir to Yu’er daily.

Initially, He Song had thought his arrangements were problem-free.

But upon his return and reevaluation, he realized there was an issue.

In the cave mansion, the plethora of precious spiritual herbs he planted before his departure were still lush and thriving.

And under the nourishment of abundant spirit Qi, the age of these herbs had increased significantly over the nearly thirty years he was gone.

For instance, those herbs that normally matured in ten years had already far surpassed that deadline.

Under these circumstances, the herbs constantly nourished by spirit Qi naturally saw their medicinal potency grow even stronger.

The longer they grew in rich spirit Qi, the more potent the spirit medicine became.

Thus, when He Song returned to his cave mansion after nearly thirty years and saw the spirit medicine he had planted years ago.

Their value had naturally increased significantly.

Yet, He Song inwardly sighed about this.

He had been too conservative in the past and had not thought things through when he left.

If he had set the puppet to harvest the spirit medicine every ten years and replant new seeds before his departure.

And, if he had filled the cave mansion with precious spiritual herbs that matured in ten years.

By the time of his return.

Perhaps he would have found more spirit medicine in the puppet’s storage bag.

The nearly thirty years’ growth of these spirit medicines he now saw, while more potent than ordinary spirit medicine and therefore more expensive.

Was still somewhat lacking in value compared to the yield from harvesting mature herbs three times.

For He Song, the idea he had now would maximize his benefits.

Unfortunately, He Song had not thought of this when he left.

However, now that He Song had realized this, he would naturally make such a decision when faced with the situation again.

When that time came, the income from He Song’s future cultivation of spirit medicine would naturally be higher.

His gaze sweeping over the lush and precious spiritual herbs in the cave mansion, He Song’s eyes quickly locked onto the puppet he had left behind.

He stored the puppet into his storage bag.

He took out and checked the puppet’s storage bag, He Song shook his head slightly.

The Beasts Elixir he had left in the puppet’s storage bag had been completely used up.

Perhaps, the lack of Beasts Elixir was also a reason for Yu’er’s cultivation not having a breakthrough for so long.

Besides, there was nothing else in the storage bag.

He Song had expected this.

Therefore, after a brief glance, he focused his attention on the precious spiritual herbs that had grown lush over the years in the cave mansion.

These precious spiritual herbs, which had aged significantly, were all planted by He Song before he left, thinking at that time, they would earn back the spirit stones spent on maintaining the arrays upon his return.

He had not expected his departure would last nearly thirty years.

Now calculating, the value of these spiritual herbs might also cover the expenses of maintaining the Divine Thunder Array here over the years.

This was not too different from what He Song had initially conceived.

Taking out jade boxes from his storage bag, He Song soon harvested all the spirit medicine in the cave mansion.

When there was nothing left inside the cave mansion.

He Song finally stopped.

His gaze swept over the entire cave mansion, pausing slightly over the various patterns he had personally drawn on the walls.

In the end, He Song casually waved his hand and re-arranged the Smoke Array that he had set up long ago and maintained ever since in the cave mansion.

Once the Smoke Array enshrouded the entire cave mansion.

He Song also completely dismantled the Celestial God Thunder Array outside the cave mansion.

From this point on.

The cave mansion became an empty shell.

Aside from the Sunflame Pearl at the top of the cave mansion that still held some value, He Song had thoroughly emptied the entire place.

This, too, was an outcome He Song had thought through on his way here, on how to deal with the cave mansion.

This cave mansion had always been built by He Song, bit by bit, with his own hands.
