Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 183 - 183: 183: Successful Foundation Establishment

Looking at it now.

Lin Cong seemed to be living a good life in Green Wall Immortal City.

To have an opportunity to establish a foundation before the age of sixty as a loose cultivator, Lin Cong’s strength probably wasn’t too weak.

However… even so, Lin Cong, who was still burly in He Song’s memory, still fell short of overcoming the obstacle of Foundation Establishment.

It made He Song feel very emotional and saddened.

Back then.

When He Song had just met Lin Cong, he had been constantly on guard against Lin Cong, fearing that Lin Cong would suddenly become violent and hurt others.

To this end, he even exposed that he had a Qi-refining late stage cultivator as his supporter.

Only then did Lin Cong feel wary, and began to try to befriend He Song

Thus, the relationship between the two improved with the passage of time.

After spending a few years together, the two would call each other good friends. During Lin Cong’s breakthrough to the Qi-refining mid-stage, the two even dined happily together at the Osmanthus Pavilion in Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.

However, all of this was in the past.

Today’s He Song was now a Foundation Establishment cultivator, with a long Immortal Path ahead of him.

But now, Lin Cong had failed to establish his foundation and was preparing to return to Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion to live out his remaining years.

Between the two of them.

The gap in their statuses had grown wider and wider.

Perhaps, by the time He Song sees Lin Cong again, Lin Cong would have been old and frail?

Sighing, he put the paper in his storage bag.

He Song didn’t hurry to reply, instead he looked at another piece of paper.

“Mr. He, it has been more than a decade since we last met at Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion, how have you been lately?”

“I was fortunate to have obtained a Foundation Establishment Elixir in Green Wall Immortal City a few days ago.”

“I shamelessly sought advice from Brother Meng on the experience of building the foundation. ”

“Now that I’ve successfully established my foundation, I’ll head to Thick Earth

Sect’s main entrance.”

“By then, you and I will be fellow disciples.” “In the future, we should visit each other more often.”

“Zhao Lin.”

As his eyes scanned the lines of writing on the paper, He Song’s mind immediately conjured up the image of Zhao Lin.

Zhao Lin.

He was a connection that Meng Guan had handed over to He Song before heading to the Red Spirit Gold Mine.

His relationship with Meng Guan had been very good initially.

However, afterwards, when Meng Guan went to the Red Spirit Gold Mine, their relationship gradually faded.

As a result, when He Song was brought into the Thick Earth Sect by Meng Guan, Zhao Lin stayed in the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.

Meng Guan seemed to have forgotten him.

Or had thought of him but didn’t mention him.

He Song had never asked, so he didn’t know the reason.

Zhao Lin and He Song could be considered friends. When thev were in Bamboo

Mountain Immortal Pavilion, Zhao Lin had helped He Song more than once by using his authority to secure benefits for him.

Therefore, when He Song saw Zhao Lin mentioning that he had managed to obtain a Foundation Establishment Elixir and asked Meng Guan for advice on the experience of building the foundation, He Song was not surprised.

Zhao Lin was an amulet Tao master.

Moreover, he was an experienced amulet master who could draw many spirit amulets and naturally earn a lot of spirit stones using those amulets.

Under such circumstances.

He Song had long assumed that Zhao Lin would have a certain chance of establishing his foundation.

At the same time, he had also guessed that Zhao Lin would be able to obtain a Foundation Establishment Elixir.

Amulet masters also earned a lot of spirit stones.

Although they couldn’t compare with He Song’s array tao, a master like Zhao Lin, who had been studying Amulet Tao since his humble beginnings, wouldn’t be too slow in earning spirit stones.

By the age of sixty, gathering tens of thousands of spirit stones would be difficult, but He Song thought it was not impossible, according to his calculations.

A Foundation Establishment Elixir had appeared in Green Wall Immortal City.

According to He Song’s estimation, one would probably cost tens of thousands of spirit stones.

With Zhao Lin’s wealth, if he were to exhaust his savings, he might be able to bid for it,

With good luck, perhaps he could really win the bid.

Of course.

Outside Thick Earth Sect,

Every time a Foundation Establishment Elixir appeared, it would cause a stir.

What exactly Zhao Lin did during the appearance of this Foundation Establishment Elixir and how he obtained it, He Song didn’t know all these details.

In Zhao Lin’s letter, he only mentioned the result.

As for the process, he didn’t mention a word.

He Song couldn’t even guess.

However… He Song hadn’t expected.

With just one Foundation Establishment Elixir.

And a piece of advice on building the foundation,

That Zhao Lin would indeed succeed in building the foundation.

These conditions.

Although they were much, much better than when Meng Guan built his foundation.

Even so, such a foundation-building condition could be comparable to some thick Earth Sect outer disciples.

But when Zhao Lin truly claimed he had successfully established his foundation, He Song still felt a little surprised.

Frowning and pondering for a moment.

He Song finally decided to send a sound-transmitting paper crane to both individuals.

He stated that he was currently healing from injuries after seclusive cultivation,

And that when he was free later, he would definitely visit them in person and such.

After doing all this, He Song stepped out of the meditation chamber, and soon began to wander around his cave mansion under the cover of Smoke Array.

Now.

He Song was already fifty-nine years old.

Given He Song’s usual cultivation speed, he would definitely be able to reach Qi Refining great perfection before the age of fifty-eight.

This knowledge could be easily gathered by calculating the time.

Therefore, He Song could only declare to the outside world that he had failed his first attempt at advancement and was now recovering from his injuries.

But besides He Song,

No one knew.

That he had already successfully broken through to Qi Refining Great Perfection at the age of fifty-six, and with the help of six Foundation Establishment Elixirs, several pieces of Foundation Establishment advice, as well as the Qi Sinking into Elixir Field Skill, he successfully built the foundation.

During the three years since he had broken through to Foundation Establishment,

He had also learned the Blood Escape Skill and was currently studying a Divine Sense Attack Skill called Arrow God Thorn.

At this moment, He Song.

Was truly a Foundation Establishment Master!

Only the outside world knew.

At fifty-eight, He Song failed in his first attempt at Foundation Establishment.

Now, he was in a two-year period of recuperation.

Even the prospect of He Song being able to establish the foundation before sixty was pessimistic.

After all, even Chu Shuangshuang had failed in Foundation Establishment, and He Song, a sect disciple who later joined, naturally had a low rate of success.

He Song hid like this because he wanted to achieve this effect.

Only in this way.

When he establishes the foundation, it won’t attract too much attention.

Everyone will think that He Song is just lucky to have established the foundation, and that’s the result of good luck.

But what they didn’t know was.

How He Song could come this far.

It was entirely different from what they thought.

To come this far, He Song relied on, not luck at all.

But his own strength!

Going to the Medicine Garden.

Fiddling with spirit medicine.

Arriving at the spirit field.

Tending to the spirit field.

Passing by the riverside.

Looking at the egg he picked up three years ago.

Three years ago.

In the eve of He Song’s Foundation Establishment, he picked up an egg with a trace of spirit Qi from the riverside.

In these three years.

He Song didn’t really care about the egg anymore, and after breaking through the Foundation Establishment, he brought it back from a remote corner several dozen miles away.

And then it was always thrown by He Song on the riverside, living or dying.

However.

Three years have passed, and the egg that He Song picked up is still just an egg.

Crystal clear, with a shadow inside.

When observed with the Spirit Vision Skill, it still contained traces of spirit Qi.

It’s been three years.

The egg never broke, nor did it hatch anything.

If it wasn’t for the increasingly noticeable life aura in the egg, He Song estimated that the egg would have gone bad.

However, after three years, the egg remained unbroken and didn’t hatch anything.

This also made He Song a bit puzzled.

This egg… doesn’t seem to be a mortal thing?

What kind of egg can be thrown by the river and stay fresh for three years?

The key is that after three years, the life aura inside has become stronger and stronger.

Did he get lucky and pick up a treasure?

After playing with the egg in his hands carefully, He Song could not figure it out.

The spirit Qi contained in the egg was just like that, very thin.

He Song certainly wouldn’t believe that the egg was some kind of mysterious bird like a phoenix, Suzaku, or a real dragon.

There is too little spirit Qi inside the egg.

But to say it’s a mortal thing, it contains a little spirit Qi, and at the same time, it remains active for a long time.

Looking at it this way, the egg doesn’t look like a mortal thing.

After playing with it for a while.

He Song thought, and decided to bring the egg back to his cave mansion.

Now.

He Song’s Foundation Establishment is complete.

Even if something strange were to hatch from the egg.

He should be able to handle it.

This egg.

Perhaps it was thrown by the river, and the temperature was not suitable, so it couldn’t hatch for three years.

If he puts the egg in a suitable temperature, it should be able to hatch.

With this thought in mind, He Song began hatching the egg for several days.

At the same time.

He can also use this time to completely calm his emotions.

A few days later.

Maybe it was because of the suitable temperature.

The egg, which hadn’t hatched anything for three years, suddenly cracked at this moment.

He Song glanced at it.

He saw a small tortoise crawl out of the eggshell and look around.

A glint of brilliance flashed in his eyes.

He Song quickly discovered that the little turtle’s body contained traces of spirit Qi.

It appeared.

It was a spirit beast.

Moreover.

Turtle-type spirit beasts had long lifespans and preferred peace to movement, and they were excellent for watching over the house.

As long as this little tortoise is controlled with a Beast Mastery Token, he could have his first spirit beast in his life.

It’s just… this turtle doesn’t really suit his Foundation Establishment Master’s identity.

It seems that he could only use it to watch over the house and couldn’t show it to others in the same way.

With this thought flashing through his mind.

He Song quickly made up his mind to go catch a good-looking spirit beast to serve as his mount.

As for this turtle.

He can use it to watch over the house.

After all, he had spent several days hatching it, and it wouldn’t be right to ignore it now.

Now that He Song has adjusted his mentality after several days, he even has the idea of keeping this turtle to watch over the house.

After making the decision.

He Song casually got some food for the newly hatched tortoise.

Then he entered the quiet room again, and began to practice the Arrow God Thorn.

Raising a little turtle.

Normally, He Song doesn’t need to take care of it too much.

Just feed it when he remembers to, or let it outside the cave mansion to forage for food within the Smoke Array.

Economical.

That was also one of the reasons He Song kept it.

If He Song were to go into seclusion for three or five years, this spirit beast turtle would probably not starve to death..
