Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 146 - 146: 145: Hundred Acres of Spirit Field

However, even if the news gets out, it probably won’t alarm the Sect Leader.

Sect Leader oversees the Mountain Seal, but he does not involve himself in everything. The Mountain Seal’s spiritual wisdom is not high and is only responsible for exchange matters. Even if the Sect Leader is alarmed, he wouldn’t be able to find out that it was He Song.

Consequently, earning spirit stones to exchange for Foundation Establishment Elixirs carries no risk at all.

It is just unknown whether the Foundation Establishment Elixirs in the Mountain Seal would be enough for He Song.

However.

When he thought of the Mountain Seal.

He Song remembered a conversation he had with Meng Guan after he broke through to Foundation Establishment and joined the Thick Earth Sect.

At that time, Meng Guan had said.

“If you ever come across a Foundation Establishment Master whose dharma title contains the word mountain, it is better to avoid as much as possible. This involves some secret, I won’t explain in detail.”

Recalling Meng Guan’s expression when he said this, He Song gradually developed a tinge of doubt on his face.

Foundation Establishment Masters whose dharma title contains the word mountain.

Master Cheng Shan of the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion counts as one.

Master Yuan Shan, whom he had met when he first entered the Thick Earth Sect, also counted as one.

Looking at this way, there should be quite a number of Foundation Establishment Masters whose dharma title contains the word mountain.

Master Cheng Shan’s artifact is called Green Mountain Seal.

And the high-quality spirit artifact bearing the fundament of the Thick Earth Sect is called Mountain Seal.

Such similar names almost made He Song associate them together instantly.

However.

Are there any secrets in this that he did not know?

Due to insufficient information, He Song pondered for a while but could not make any sense of it.

After thinking for a while, He Song stopped pondering about it and began to seriously search for a suitable place to open a spirit field.

This time, He Song left the Thick Earth Sect.

In order to find a suitable place to open a spirit field.

The more spirit fields he opens, the faster he will acquire spirit stones.

With spirit stones, he will have the Foundation Establishment Elixirs.

His chances of breaking through to Foundation Establishment will also greatly increase.

So, He Song was extremely dedicated to finding the spirit field.

However.

The places that could be used to open a spirit field were too few.

He Song kept searching, but even after a long search, he still found nothing>.

Either it was too close to a heavily trafficked area by cultivators.

Or the environment was not suitable.

Or it was too close to a mortal city.

Or…

Time flew by.

And it was already two years later.

In these two years, He Song had been continuously searching for places that could be used to open a spirit field.

Surrounding his newly opened spirit field, He Song kept searching.

Finally, due to his relentless effort, after two years, he finally found several places that could be used to open a spirit field.

Previously when he was in the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.

He Song had also searched for places that could be opened into spirit fields.

But at that time, his cultivation level was too low and his speed was too slow, so after half a year of searching, he did not find a single place that could be used to open a spirit field.

Now.

He Song’s cultivation level had reached the eighth-tier of Qi Refining. After using the Mountain Wind Riding Skill, his speed was incredibly fast.

Under such circumstances, it took him two years to find several places that could be opened into spirit fields.

These spirit fields varied in size, but all in all, they represented He Song’s painstaking efforts.

Counting the new spirit fields and the previously opened thirty-acre spirit field, there was a total of about a hundred acres.

In this way.

In one year, He Song could harvest a hundred thousand pounds of spirit rice, which equated to ten thousand spirit stones, from these hundred acres of spirit fields.

In one year, he could have ten thousand spirit stones.

Now there were still thirteen years left until He Song turned sixty.

If you were to add it all up, He Song should be able to obtain about one hundred and thirty thousand spirit stones in these thirteen years.

However, because some of these spirit fields were still in the process of being converted into actual fields, the actual yields of spirit stones should be somewhat less.

But not too much less; there might only be a few thousand less spirit stones.

Add on the over ten thousand spirit stones he currently had, and the sixty thousand pounds of spirit rice he harvested from the thirty-acre spirit field in the past two years.

As well as his annual salary from the Thick Earth Sect.

In total, if he no longer opens new spirit fields in these thirteen years, he should be able to gain around a hundred and fifty thousand spirit stones.

These one hundred and fifty thousand spirit stones, if used entirely to exchange for Foundation Establishment Elixirs, should be able to be exchanged for ten of them.

Adding to the one he already had.

It would amount to eleven Foundation Establishment Elixirs.

Even if He Song failed the first Foundation Establishment attempt and wasted six Foundation Establishment Elixirs.

By the time he attempted Foundation Establishment the second time, there would still be at least five Foundation Establishment Elixirs available.

Considering this.

He Song let out a sigh of relief, feeling like a weight had been lifted off his heart.

However, all the surrounding areas that could be turned into spirit fields were already developed into spirit fields by him. If he wanted to open more spirit fields next, it would be extremely difficult.

That means, each year, at most he could get ten thousand spirit stones from the spirit fields he has opened.

Want more?

It’s not impossible, but that would purely depend on luck.

Perhaps… could he reactivate the twenty- acre spirit field he abandoned in the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion?

Such a thought flashed through He Song’s mind.

But it was immediately dismissed.

That place was no longer safe.

If he went back to reactivate that twenty- acre spirit field and someone came knocking on his door, losing some spirit rice would be the least of his concerns.

He feared that they might publicize everything about that place.

By then, it’s possible that even the hundred-acre spirit field he had newly developed would also be implicated.

For this kind of risky business where the cons outweighed the pros, He Song, after some thoughts, immediately vetoed the idea.

As for the final missing Foundation Establishment Elixir.

After some consideration, He Song didn’t worry about it anymore.

Getting more Foundation Establishment Elixirs was just to leave a safety net for himself.

If he consumed six Foundation Establishment Elixirs, his chances of breaking through to Foundation Establishment would be high.

If he is successful in breaking through the Foundation Establishment at once, the safety net he left himself obviously isn’t needed.

If he really fails at Foundation Establishment.

Prior to the second attempt at Foundation Establishment, finding another Foundation Establishment Elixir shouldn’t be a problem.

After all.

In ten or so years time, Meng Guan’s strength would definitely have stabilized in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

As long as He Song opened his mouth to ask, supporting a Foundation Establishment Elixir should be nothing to them.

Two years ago, when Wei Fan failed in making his breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage, Meng Guan, without hesitation, helped prepare another Foundation Establishment Elixir.

Although it was hurried and he had to ask for He Song’s help.

Meng Guan, who would be in ten or so years, in comparison with the current

Meng Guan, in terms of strength and fortune, would simply be incomparable.

However.

Two years have passed now.

Wei Fan’s injuries should have fully healed by now.

It was time he attempted to break through the Foundation Establishment Realm again.

After calculating the time and realising he hadn’t missed it yet, He Song got up and sped towards the Thick Earth Sect.

The Thick Earth Sect.

Outer Disciple living area.

Just as He Song’s figure appeared outside Wei Fan’s courtyard, he saw Meng Guan, who had just opened his courtyard door..
