Chapter 268 Three Years Later
The speed at which alchemists earned spirit stones.
According to He Song's estimation, it was feared that it would not be lower than the income brought by formations.
Alchemy.
Was also a big earner of spirit stones.
Although it was extremely difficult to get started, and if one wanted to achieve something, one needed to pay a lot of costs.
But if one could really start earning spirit stones, the horror of its income was well known.
Under such terrifying spirit stone earning speed, after He Song became an alchemy master, his cultivation resources would naturally be guaranteed.
Perhaps some precious resources could not be exchanged for spirit stones.
But those resources that could be exchanged for spirit stones, He Song would definitely not lack them anymore.
And this.
Was also the reason why the cultivation progress of alchemists was generally faster than that of ordinary cultivators.
Of course, the fast cultivation progress of alchemists did not mean that their combat power was also strong.
The most powerful thing about alchemists was still their identity as alchemists.
With this identity, the safety of alchemists would naturally be much higher than that of ordinary cultivators.
However, He Song could not tell others about his identity as an alchemist, even when selling pills, he would disguise himself and go to other places to sell them.
It was impossible to give others a chance to suspect him, and he would not tell others that he was an alchemist.
In this way, time flew by, and a full three years had passed.
Today, three years later.
Although He Song's refinement of Earth Spirit Pills had not yet reached the level of proficiency, he could succeed in refining two or even three furnaces out of ten furnaces.
Such a success rate was not far from proficiently refining Earth Spirit Pills.
Of course, after three years of continuous refinement, He Song's consumption of spirit herbs was also very serious.
Now, after three years of continuous consumption, the Earth Spirit Ginseng and some auxiliary materials on He Song's body used to refine Earth Spirit Pills were already somewhat stretched.
He Song had even considered whether to leave Heavenly Pivot Immortal City, go to other immortal cities to sell some pills, and then purchase some Earth Spirit Ginseng and auxiliary materials back.
Otherwise, if another period of time passed, the spirit herbs on He Song's body would be completely cut off.
Although he still had other spirit herbs on him, according to He Song's idea.
He needed to be able to proficiently refine Earth Spirit Pills before trying to refine other Foundation Establishment Spirit Pills.
As for the reason, it was also very simple.
In the situation where he was not even familiar with Earth Spirit Pills, going to try refining other Foundation Establishment Spirit Pills, the success rate would naturally be very low.
He did not want to repeat the previous situation of refining dozens of times without even succeeding once.
And after being able to proficiently refine Earth Spirit Pills, and then trying to refine other Foundation Establishment Spirit Pills.
With the techniques and spirit stone income of being able to proficiently refine Earth Spirit Pills, He Song's mentality would naturally be different again.
If he suffered setbacks, he could just refine a furnace of Earth Spirit Pills to boost his confidence.
In this way, the growth of alchemy skills could also be faster, which was simply perfect.
Moreover.
In these three years, in addition to putting in a lot of effort in alchemy, He Song had not slowed down the improvement of his own cultivation level.
Even because he had already begun to try refining Foundation Establishment Spirit Pills, the spirit stones He Song spent on improving his cultivation level were even more than before.
Refining Foundation Establishment Spirit Pills also consumed magical power.
Every day, manipulating spirit fire to burn the furnace, every day, manipulating Divine Sense to add spirit herbs, and so on and so forth.
These things were all consumption for He Song.
And after doing these things, the magical power and spirit in his body would inevitably be empty.
Under such circumstances, He Song increased the number of pills he took, and while being able to quickly replenish the magical power and spirit in his body, the growth of his own cultivation level could also become faster.
Now, after three years of cultivation, the magical power in He Song's body had also made obvious progress.
His strength was even better than it was three years ago.
Although the improvement in strength was not as much as the last time he secluded himself for cultivation, it was still a big improvement for He Song.
According to He Song's estimation, he had now walked at least half, or even more than half, of the way to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage.
According to his current cultivation progress, in another ten years or so, he would be able to improve his cultivation level to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage.
It should be known.
Even though he had been in Heavenly Pivot Immortal City for a full thirteen years.
Only seventeen years had passed since he broke through to the Mid-Foundation Establishment Stage.
Seventeen years, plus the ten or so years that He Song had previously estimated, added together, it was only about thirty years.
This was the time estimated by He Song.
But according to He Song's estimation, the time for him to break through to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage would not be too much higher than this basis.
At most, at most, it would be about thirty years.
More than thirty years, breaking through from the Mid-Foundation Establishment Stage to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage.
This time looked very long.
But in fact, an ordinary Foundation Establishment True Person, wanting to break through from the Mid-Foundation Establishment Stage to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, the time spent should be about forty years.
And what about He Song? At most, at most, it was about thirty years, if there were other opportunities in between, it might only take about thirty years.
Under such circumstances, He Song's cultivation improvement speed was already extremely terrifying compared to others.
Such a cultivation improvement speed was inseparable from He Song's almost disregarding cost in purchasing various resources that could make his cultivation break through faster.
Minor Spirit Gathering Formation.
Foundation Establishment Spirit Pills.
Foundation Establishment Spirit Tea.
Foundation Establishment Spirit Rice.
And some other resources that could rapidly increase the cultivation level of Foundation Establishment True Persons.
All these things added together allowed He Song to have such a fast cultivation speed.
However, just as He Song was immersed in alchemy and cultivation.
The occurrence of one thing made him have to stop what he was doing.
One day.
He Song was refining Earth Spirit Pills in the alchemy furnace.
When a stream of light rose from the Fiery Sun Furnace, bringing several pills and landing in front of He Song, a look of satisfaction flashed across He Song's face.
This alchemy attempt.
Succeeded again!
Including this time, he had succeeded in alchemy twice in a row, and felt that his alchemy skills had improved again.
Putting the several Earth Spirit Pills in front of him into a jade bottle and putting them into his storage pouch.
He Song was about to get up and go to the quiet room for cultivation.
But he saw that the sound transmission talisman he hung around his waist suddenly began to flash with light.
Seeing this, He Song opened the sound transmission talisman and took out a thin piece of paper from the sound transmission talisman.
"Fellow Daoist, how have you been recently? I have successfully broken through to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage some days ago. Today, my cultivation is consolidated, and I specially invite Fellow Daoist to come to my door for a gathering."
"Meng Guan."
His eyes swept over the line of words on the thin paper in front of him, He Song's eyes lingered on Meng Guan's name for a moment.
Then, he put the thin paper in his hand into his storage pouch, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Meng Guan's cultivation level had broken through, and he had now reached the Late Foundation Establishment Stage.
He had been thinking before that his cultivation level would need more than ten years to break through to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage.
But he did not expect that Meng Guan would reach the Late Foundation Establishment Stage so quickly.
This cultivation improvement speed
It doesn't seem fast either.
He Song's mind flashed through the time when Meng Guan and Wei Fan broke through to Foundation Establishment, and after a little calculation in his heart, he quickly came to a conclusion.
Among the three, Meng Guan was the first to establish his foundation.
In the seventh year after Meng Guan established his foundation, Wei Fan established his foundation.
In the ninth year after Wei Fan established his foundation, He Song established his foundation.
In other words, in the sixteenth year after Meng Guan established his foundation, He Song successfully established his foundation and became a True Person.
Thinking of this, a look of as expected flashed in He Song's eyes.
Meng Guan established his foundation so much earlier than him, and now his cultivation level had reached the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, it was quite normal.
Moreover, when Meng Guan broke through from the Early Foundation Establishment Stage to the Mid-Foundation Establishment Stage, his cultivation speed was extremely fast.
At that time, it was during the war between the Earth Sect and the Seven Stars Sect, and in the war, Meng Guan's cultivation level broke through at a terrifying speed.
In just over twenty years, he broke through from the Early Foundation Establishment Stage to the Mid-Foundation Establishment Stage.
It was almost the same as He Song's full cultivation.
Calculating the days, the time for Meng Guan to break through from the Mid-Foundation Establishment Stage to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage was at least more than thirty-five years.
Calculated in this way.
In at least more than thirty-five years, breaking through from the Mid-Foundation Establishment Stage to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage was actually not fast.
It could even be said that Meng Guan's cultivation speed in the Mid-Foundation Establishment Stage was no longer as terrifying as before, except when he participated in the war in the Early Foundation Establishment Stage, his cultivation speed was incomprehensible.
More than thirty-five years, this time was not fast, but it was not slow either.
Better than the bottom, but not as good as the top.
It was a cultivation breakthrough speed that most people could accept.
Thoughts flashed through his mind, and He Song sighed in his heart.
After sensing the surging magical power in his body, He Song exhaled.
"This cultivation speed is still too slow."
"Old Meng has now broken through to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, but my cultivation level is still stuck in the Mid-Foundation Establishment Stage."
"Alas, it seems that I still have to continue to speed up the pace of improving my cultivation level."
"However, this time out of seclusion, it is also time to go and sell these Earth Spirit Pills I refined in other immortal cities."
"And go to other immortal cities to buy some Earth Spirit Ginseng and other auxiliary materials."
"Otherwise, in the next alchemy attempts, I'm afraid I won't even be able to gather enough spirit herbs."
Walking out of the alchemy room, thoughts flashed through He Song's mind, but his eyes looked towards the sky, towards the direction of Meng Guan's mansion.
Although he already knew that Meng Guan's current cultivation breakthrough speed had slowed down, and no longer had the terrifying cultivation speed he had during the war.
He Song still felt a trace of dissatisfaction in his heart with the speed of his own cultivation growth.
However, He Song also knew that his cultivation improvement speed was already extremely fast.
He could even hide his cultivation level for a long time after breaking through, without others feeling that his cultivation speed was too slow.
Under such circumstances, if these words were heard by others, it was feared that it would immediately attract eye-rolling.
At the same time, now that three years had passed, He Song's Earth Spirit Ginseng and other auxiliary materials had also been used up almost, and he needed to go out to purchase them again.
These things were also necessary to do.
As for now.
It was better to go to Meng Guan's place first, and go to congratulate him.
His friend's cultivation level had broken through, and the Golden Core Stage was now within reach.
And he had opened his mouth to invite him, He Song naturally needed to go and take a look.
