Chapter 258 Five Years Later
Under such circumstances,
with everyone believing that He Song's cultivation was still at the Early-Foundation Establishment stage,
now that the Righteous Path Alliance and the Demon Path Alliance had begun to confront each other,
his cultivation, it was also time to raise it a bit, to allow himself to gain a firm foothold in Heavenly Pivot Immortal City.
Previously,
He Song's cultivation, in the eyes of others, had always been at the Early-Foundation Establishment stage.
Those people, although they did not say it openly, did not know what they were thinking of He Song in their hearts.
Perhaps, they would think that he came here simply because he went through the back door.
Although the truth was indeed so.
He Song was indeed as they said, he came here through the back door.
But if He Song's cultivation "broke through" to the Mid-Foundation Establishment stage, these voices would naturally disappear as well.
At that time,
He Song taking on the role of guardian of Heavenly Pivot Immortal City with Mid-Foundation Establishment stage cultivation would be a matter of course.
No one would be able to have any reason to refute this.
Nor would it be possible to use the reason that He Song's cultivation was insufficient to transfer He Song away from this place.
At this moment,
the Demon Path Alliance and the Righteous Path Alliance already faintly had the intention of confrontation.
Although the two sides had not yet started fighting, how could the Foundation Establishment True Persons guarding other immortal cities and immortal markets not see the danger of this matter?
He Song being transferred from Hundred Herb Immortal Market to Heavenly Pivot Immortal City,
was only because he learned of the news in advance.
Under circumstances where no one had reacted, he preemptively occupied the position here.
If he had not learned of the Demon Path Alliance's news in advance,
not to mention being transferred to this place,
even wanting to be transferred away from Hundred Herb Immortal Market and enter some immortal city, would probably be a fool's dream.
Precisely because of this,
those sect elites, after learning of the news, would very likely also want to be transferred to Heavenly Pivot Immortal City.
And when they learned that there was still a position here, and that the person who occupied such a position, his cultivation was only at the Early-Foundation Establishment stage,
would they want to use connections to exchange their position with He Song's current position?
Putting himself in their shoes,
He Song felt that it was also time for him to "break through" to the Mid-Foundation Establishment stage, to shut up those people.
Once his cultivation "broke through" to the Mid-Foundation Establishment stage, naturally no one would be able to use this as a reason to transfer He Song away from this place.
Of course,
if someone did not play by the rules, and insisted on transferring He Song away from this place,
He Song could only directly hide into his hidden cave dwelling, and just sit and watch the world rise and fall, and cultivate in peace.
There was no other way.
He still did not want to die.
Rather than being transferred to other dangerous places, it was better to directly hide in his hidden cave dwelling, wait until the war was over before leaving the mountain, and seek opportunities to step into the Golden Core Great Dao.
In any case, continuing to stay in the Earth Sect would also not obtain these opportunities.
The Earth Sect's annual stipend of three thousand spirit stones,
compared to his own life safety, which was more important, He Song could still distinguish clearly.
Repaying kindness, also had to consider the timing, didn't it?
At worst,
when He Song's cultivation reached a certain level in the future, he could then return to repay the kindness.
Would a Golden Core, or even Nascent Soul realm cultivator's repayment of kindness not be more effective than a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator's repayment of kindness?
Why be in a hurry?
With such thoughts, He Song continuously circulated the Earth Scripture, and the scene of his breakthrough to the Mid-Foundation Establishment stage back then quickly flashed through his mind.
Breaking through from the Early-Foundation Establishment stage to the Mid-Foundation Establishment stage would not have any signs appearing.
Therefore, He Song decided that the next time Meng Guan and the others invited him, he would go to the appointment, and say that he had gained some insight and had already broken through to the Mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
Then, he would publicly release his Mid-Foundation Establishment stage aura, to let them confirm that he had truly broken through to the Mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
In this way, it would allow the news of his cultivation breakthrough to spread rapidly.
By that time,
he would naturally not need to worry too much about being transferred elsewhere.
Currently,
the Demon Sect Alliance had just formed.
So-called war, was still just speculation.
He Song believed that within a few years, this war would not break out.
His time,
was still plentiful.
——
Thus,
time flew by in a flash.
While He Song was continuously cultivating, and also studying the Alchemy Dao, in the blink of an eye, five years quietly passed.
In the first year,
He Song's cultivation, as he wished, quickly "broke through" to the Mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
Because He Song's cultivation was originally at the Mid-Foundation Establishment stage, therefore after releasing the Mid-Foundation Establishment stage aura, whether it was Meng Guan or Wei Fan, or even White Cloud, Dark Crane, none of them noticed any abnormality.
In their view, He Song's cultivation being able to break through at this time proved that He Song's cultivation speed was much faster than ordinary cultivators.
From He Song breaking through to Foundation Establishment until now,
the surface time, was only just over twenty years.
Generally speaking, ordinary Foundation Establishment True Persons wanting to break through from the Early-Foundation Establishment stage to the Mid-Foundation Establishment stage, would require nearly thirty years of time.
Some people would take longer, some people would take less time.
He Song being able to break through to the Mid-Foundation Establishment stage in just over twenty years represented that his cultivation speed was much faster than ordinary Foundation Establishment True Persons.
But, it was not considered too outrageous.
Meng Guan also broke through to the Mid-Foundation Establishment stage in just over twenty years after breaking through to Foundation Establishment.
Only Wei Fan, when he broke through to the Mid-Foundation Establishment stage, it was already nearly thirty years, taking slightly longer than He Song and Meng Guan.
Because He Song "broke through" to the Mid-Foundation Establishment stage,
the five people stationed in Heavenly Pivot Immortal City also gathered together for a celebration.
After the celebration ended,
the news of He Song's cultivation reaching the Mid-Foundation Establishment stage quickly spread out.
From then on,
He Song in this Heavenly Pivot Immortal City, could also be considered to have gained a firm foothold, and would not have to worry about being transferred elsewhere.
In the following time, He Song's improvement in his own cultivation did not slacken in the slightest.
Even, because he was in Heavenly Pivot Immortal City, such a true immortal city, purchasing various items became much simpler, the things he could buy also increased considerably.
Some good things that could only be accessed by those who had lived in immortal cities for a long time also opened their doors to He Song.
Such as spirit tea with better effects.
Such as pills with pill patterns, with better medicinal effects.
Such as spirit rice comparable to Dragon Tooth Spirit Rice.
Such as the more concentrated spirit energy within the Minor Spirit Gathering Formation.
Such as…
These things, when he was previously stationed in immortal markets, were basically inaccessible.
And it was precisely the appearance of these things that made his cultivation path in the Mid-Foundation Establishment stage also become faster and faster.
After five years of cultivation,
He Song felt that the magical power within his body had ushered in a tremendous increase, the magical power within his body increased considerably.
His own strength naturally also rose with the tide of the increase in magical power.
Due to the increase in magical power,
the power of him casting spells and manipulating magical artifacts all ushered in tremendous improvements.
The current He Song, on the path of Mid-Foundation Establishment stage, could also be considered to have taken a solid step, his own strength had received a tremendous improvement.
However,
due to the appearance of those things in the immortal city that could increase magical power even more,
the spirit stones on He Song's body naturally also flowed out like water, constantly being spent by him, and transformed into his own strength.
In these short five years, the spirit stones He Song spent on himself were much more than before.
But the magical power that increased within his body was also much more than before.
Calculating in this way,
although the spirit stones spent were more,
He Song's gains were not small at all.
These spirit stones, in He Song's view, were spent quite worthily.
Besides cultivation,
He Song's achievements in the Alchemy Dao were also not low in the slightest.
After five long years, He Song had completely mastered the high-grade pill, Qi Condensing Pill.
The success rate of refining Qi Condensing Pill had also reached more than fifty percent.
The current He Song, could even rely on his alchemy skills alone to survive in the world of cultivation.
It is a pity that,
although he had completely mastered the high-grade pill Qi Condensing Pill, and was already very skilled in refining it, He Song did not have much progress in refining Foundation Establishment Spirit Pills.
He had tried to refine Foundation Establishment Spirit Pills once.
But the difficulty of refining Foundation Establishment Spirit Pills was simply terrifying.
At that time, he could already skillfully refine high-grade pills Qi Condensing Pill.
But when refining Foundation Establishment Spirit Pills, he found that if it was not a mistake here, it was an abnormality there.
After a round of refining, he only refined a pile of dregs.
In order not to waste the Foundation Establishment spirit herbs in his hands, He Song ultimately decided to refine more high-grade pills.
Waiting until he felt his technique was sufficient, it would not be too late to try refining Foundation Establishment Spirit Pills again.
Foundation Establishment Spirit Pills, compared to high-grade pills Qi Condensing Pill, were completely different.
High-grade pills Qi Condensing Pill, was a pill taken by Qi Condensation Late Stage cultivators to increase the spiritual power within their bodies.
And Foundation Establishment Spirit Pills,
were pills used by Foundation Establishment realm True Persons.
Due to the difference between Qi Condensation stage cultivators and Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, the refining of these Foundation Establishment Spirit Pills was also extremely difficult.
Therefore, in order to be able to successfully refine Foundation Establishment Spirit Pills, He Song had to begin to continuously master various high-grade pill alchemy recipes.
Taking diligent practice as the key, constantly moving towards Foundation Establishment Spirit Pills.
Mastering more high-grade pill alchemy recipes would allow his alchemy techniques to gain some progress.
These progresses accumulating little by little, perhaps would allow him to not be so difficult when trying to refine Foundation Establishment Spirit Pills.
Now five years of time passed in a blink of an eye.
He Song's mastery of various high-grade pill recipes also began to gradually enter the right track.
According to his speculation, in another few years, he would be able to master several high-grade pill recipes purely and skillfully.
At that time,
perhaps he would be able to try refining Foundation Establishment Spirit Pills once.
Hopefully by that time, he would be able to truly refine a furnace of Foundation Establishment Spirit Pills.
He Song was still quite satisfied with his progress on the Alchemy Dao.
Due to his own financial resources,
He Song's progress on the Alchemy Dao, compared to other alchemists, could already be called rapid progress.
He inherently had talent far exceeding ordinary people in the hundred crafts of cultivation and spell research, and even more so had already reached Foundation Establishment, possessing Divine Sense.
And also cultivated Aura Observation Technique to assist in alchemy.
In this way,
He Song's speed of progress in the Alchemy Dao was naturally extremely fast.
