BXBX NOVEL Chapter 131 - 130: 3 Years
According to He Song’s estimation,
If he was to study these two skills without any annotations, it would take two years for him to master just one skill to the point where he could use it at will without losing any of its power.
However,
It was precisely because of the large number of annotations in the skills that He Song saved a considerable amount of time.
Therefore, he estimated that he would need only two years to fully master both skills to the point where he could use them at will without losing any power.
One year’s time would be enough to master one skill to the point where it could be used at will without losing any power.
After some consideration, He Song still decided to learn the Mountain Pressing Sword Riding Skill first.
It wasn’t because he didn’t want to learn the Mountain Wind Riding Skill first,
It was because,
Every year, He Song had to leave the Thick Earth Sect and travel tens of thousands of miles to the vicinity of the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion to harvest the twenty acres of spirit fields there.
He Song had to improve his combat power to deal with unknown dangers during this long journey.
And the Mountain Pressing Sword Riding Skill was the best means to improve He Song’s combat power.
As for the Mountain Wind Riding Skill,
Although it could save a lot of travel time, it could be learned later on.
After all, only when you have strong strength can you walk unconfined in the outside world.
If one’s power is weak, and you have to run away from even encountering a loose cultivator, going out is no different than seeking death.
Time flew by,
Years passed like a shuttle.
In no time, He Song had spent nearly three years in the Thick Earth Sect.
During this nearly three-year period, He Song not only mastered the Mountain Pressing Sword Riding Skill to the point where he could use it at will without losing any power,
But he also mastered the Mountain Wind Riding Skill to the point where it could be used at will without losing any power.
As a result, although He Song’s cultivation was still at the seventh-tier of Qi Refining, his combat power had already become incomparable to before.
Now, He Song could even hold his own against an evil cultivator.
The formidable power of the Mountain Pressing Sword Riding Skill greatly boosted He Song’s confidence.
However, He Song was still cautious in his actions.
Thus, during the nearly three years, He Song did not encounter any crises.
At the same time, his understanding of the Array Tao Primary Introduction had also been elevated.
Although he had not yet learned any new array skills, by He Song’s estimation, he would be able to master a new array skill in a few years.
The array skills in the Array Tao Primary Introduction were much more difficult than those in the Array Tao Introduction.
Even with He Song’s diligent research, it would still take a lot of time to master them.
During this nearly three -year period,
He Song traveled annually to the vicinity of the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion, tens of thousands of miles away, to harvest spirit rice.
He had harvested twice, gaining more than 44,000 catties of spirit rice on his body.
Adding to the original 66,000 catties of spirit rice he already had, there were a total of 110,000 catties of spirit rice on He Song.
With such a large amount of spirit rice, He Song had no choice but to start using the small cargo storage bag again.
The storage bag provided by the Thick Earth Sect did not have enough space.
Fortunately, when He Song had switched storage bags, he did not discard the small cargo storage bag, but kept it.
If not, he would probably have to spend more spirit stones on a new storage bag from the sect.
During these nearly three years,
He Song’s cultivation progress was extremely rapid.
Being in the Thick Earth Sect, which was rich in spiritual energy, and with the sect issuing elixirs, Crumbled Jade Powder, and other resources, He Song would occasionally buy other things that could help him improve his cultivation.
Naturally, during this nearly three-year period, He Song’s cultivation increased at an extremely fast pace,
He had taken a big step forward on the path from the seventh-tier to the eighth-tier of Qi Refining.
Compared with the time when he had just broken through to the seventh tier of Qi Refining, He Song’s body now had a significantly greater amount of spirit power.
As for Wei Fan and Meng Guan,
They spent most of these three years in seclusive cultivation, and He Song only saw them once a year when they took their annual salary, not catching sight of them the rest of the time.
As for Master Qing Yue, Ping’er, and Chu Shuangshuang, they had already left the sect three years ago and went to guard the Green Wall Immortal City again.
Master Qing Yue was originally the guardian of Green Wall Immortal City, and when he returned to the sect this time, it was just to bring Meng Guan.
After receiving the reward, they naturally left.
He Song did not even have the chance to express his gratitude in person,
He could only wait to thank them face to face when they meet again by chance in the future.
During these three years,
He Song spent most of his time immersed in learning skills and seclusive cultivation.
He did not pay too much attention to outside matters.
Until today.
“Judging by the time, it’s time to harvest the spirit rice again. This time when I go out, I’ll have to sell all of my spirit rice.”
Glancing his cargo storage bag, He Song thought to himself.
Although he was already a disciple of the Thick Earth Sect,
To avoid revealing that he already had entered the realm of Array Tao, He Song had not yet sold any spirit rice.
As a result, even with 110,000 catties of spirit rice on him, He Song was not yet ready to sell it.
But, times have changed.
Now, the amount of spirit rice on him was getting bigger and bigger.
Having so much spirit rice on hand, it would be better to sell it to exchange for spirit stones.
Perhaps, these spirit stones could be put to other uses.
Glancing at his storage bag, He Song thought of the Foundation Establishment Elixir in it.
If there were Foundation Establishment Elixirs available on the market and he had enough spirit stones on him, it would not be impossible to buy one.
Although it might seem excessive for him, a disciple of the Thick Earth Sect, to snatch a chance to establish his foundation from a loose cultivator,
But,
He was spending his own spirit stones on it.
How could this be considered excessive?
Having thought about this, He Song immediately got up, prepared everything for going out, and stepped out of the courtyard.
At the entrance of the Thick Earth Sect,
He Song left the words about leaving the sect for training, and then immediately took to the sky, heading to the far distance.
The Mountain Wind Riding Skill,
Was neither a conventional Light Body Skill nor a Tunneling Skill.
It was a Wind Riding Skill.
With the ability to manipulate wind power, the user could travel swiftly in mid-air.
Just by lightly stepping on the ground, the user could take to the skies, travel a long distance in mid-air, and upon landing, lightly step on the ground again to continue soaring and traveling far.
This process repeated.
This kind of skill that required only a slight force to take hundreds of meters per step in mid-air, while also being able to manipulate wind power to accelerate or turn, was called a Wind Riding Skill. The Mountain Wind Riding Skill was incredibly fast,
Much faster than the Earth Tunneling Skill.
To reach the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion tens of thousands of miles away, the Earth Tunneling Skill would take more than half a month,
However, when using the Mountain Wind Riding Skill, it would only take about seven or eight days.
In this way, a lot of time was saved for traveling.
Now that He Song had strong capabilities and a deep background, he would generally use the Mountain Wind Riding Skill to travel instead of the Earth Tunneling Skill unless he sensed danger ahead..
