Chapter 441 Five Years Later
Since the Lin family was safe, my purpose for this trip was naturally achieved.
Next,
it was time to return to Green Moon Prefecture, to my cave dwelling.
My gaze swept across Su Qian and An Ning, who were walking together in the distance, preparing to return to Flying Cloud Immortal Market. He Song's mind stirred, and he was about to leave.
But his footsteps suddenly paused.
In the distance,
as Su Qian and An Ning settled the Lin family and prepared to leave together, Su Qian's voice quickly followed.
"Ning'er, you must come to visit this place where the Lin family is located often in the future."
"Although the people of the Lin family are all mortals, they have a good relationship with Senior. If chaos arises here in the future, I am afraid Senior will come to this place again."
"When that time comes, not to mention anything else, just having the Lin family praise you in front of Senior for visiting often will be enough to make Senior look at you with new eyes."
"News of the great war between Righteous and Demon paths in the north is constantly spreading. Although this place has not yet been involved, it will probably be difficult to escape this calamity after decades."
"If that is really the case, with the Lin family speaking well of you, and you then making a request, perhaps Senior will take you away with him at that time."
"Although I don't know what will happen afterwards, it is always better than staying here and waiting to die."
"Besides,"
"This Lin family is entrusted by Senior, you must keep a close eye on them, and don't let your An family, or people from other families, stretch their hands towards them."
"You and I both know that there must be secrets within the Lin family, but with Senior's protection, those secrets are not something you and I can covet."
"Regardless of what secrets the Lin family has, you and I should pretend not to know. If anyone dares to stretch their claws towards the Lin family, then chop off their claws."
"You must remember,"
"Back then, my status was only a small servant girl in the Spirit Skill Pavilion. By chance, I became acquainted with Senior, and when my cultivation reached the Great Perfection of Qi Condensation, I obtained Senior's Foundation Establishment insights."
"Although I did not successfully establish my foundation, the Foundation Establishment insights given by Senior have benefited me greatly."
"In addition, the spirit stones, pills, and so on occasionally bestowed by Senior, when added together, are countless."
"An Ning, you are still young, and there is a long road ahead. Building a good relationship with Senior is beneficial in every way and without harm."
"With me paving the way for you, your chances of obtaining Foundation Establishment insights, and even Foundation Establishment Pills, from Senior are extremely high. Do not abandon your great future for petty gains."
"If you are fortunate enough to establish your foundation in the future, you must also remember Senior's great kindness."
Listening to Su Qian's voice in his ears, He Song forcibly stopped his intention to leave.
Su Qian's words touched something in He Song's heart.
Thinking back carefully,
from Su Qian knowing that he was about to return to this place, to Su Qian later stating that she had taken in a disciple, and finally, Su Qian proposing that An Ning could take over this matter and share his worries.
All of this, everything, seemed to be driven by Su Qian single-handedly.
As for her purpose, it was naturally as she said.
She wanted to have An Ning build a good relationship with He Song, wanting to help An Ning obtain more opportunities from He Song, wanting to help An Ning step into the Foundation Establishment realm.
This was not exactly scheming, just that she had failed to establish her own foundation and was placing her hopes on her disciple.
After all,
the current Su Qian had only introduced An Ning to He Song, and had not made any other moves.
As for whether to give subsequent opportunities, how much to give, and whether An Ning could break through to the Foundation Establishment realm.
The initiative was still in He Song's hands.
Introducing An Ning to He Song and having her build a good relationship with He Song was just normal interaction.
As for the hope in Su Qian's heart.
After a little thought, He Song also felt it was reasonable.
As An Ning's master, Su Qian herself failed to establish her foundation, so she placed her hopes on An Ning, which was naturally understandable.
It's just that,
the current He Song had already left Earth Sect. Wanting to obtain a large number of Foundation Establishment Pills from Earth Sect like before was no longer possible.
In this situation, Su Qian wanting An Ning to obtain Foundation Establishment Pills from He Song's hands probably still depended on luck.
If He Song accidentally killed a Foundation Establishment True Person in the future and found a few Foundation Establishment Pills on him, this matter would be settled.
But if He Song did not encounter such an opportunity and could not obtain Foundation Establishment Pills, Su Qian's idea would probably fall through.
He Song would not specifically look for Foundation Establishment Pills for An Ning because of this trivial matter.
Moreover, breaking through to Foundation Establishment, how easy is it?
Even if there were Foundation Establishment Pills in hand, whether An Ning could successfully break through to Foundation Establishment was still unknown.
At this point, He Song had a good understanding of Su Qian's thoughts.
However, Su Qian had delivered messages for him for decades without fail. Now that she had a disciple, wanting to seek a way out for her disciple was also human nature, and He Song did not care too much.
It was just that he felt a faint stirring in his heart.
With a master like Su Qian, even if An Ning had no chance to establish her foundation in the future, she could probably live an incredibly comfortable life.
It seemed that if he really obtained Foundation Establishment Pills in the future, he could casually leave one behind.
Of course, if he had no chance to obtain Foundation Establishment Pills, He Song could only pretend not to know about this.
Thoughts flashed through his mind, He Song moved his body, and soon transformed into a streak of escaping light, soaring into the sky and flying rapidly into the distance.
The Divine Sense range of a Golden Core cultivator was extremely far.
Therefore, even when He Song transformed into escaping light and left, he could still sense the conversation between Su Qian and An Ning.
After listening to Su Qian's words, An Ning nodded repeatedly, solemnly agreeing.
At the same time, she did not forget to bow to Su Qian and thank her.
To this, Su Qian nodded with satisfaction, and then led An Ning, continuing towards the Flying Cloud Immortal Market.
After being dozens of miles away from the Lin family's location, He Song, who had been flying in escaping light all the way, also took out his inferior artifact flying boat in due course, and began to move forward at high speed, leaving this place.
But this time.
On the way back, He Song did not focus on rushing back, but instead spread out his Divine Sense, constantly scanning the large area he passed through.
In the past.
He Song had not had much interest in going out to find opportunities.
After all, He Song's cultivation was still shallow before, and he did not have enough strength to deal with external crises.
Naturally, he was also very resistant to going to other places to find opportunities.
As a long-liver, when his own cultivation is weak, the first thing to ensure is his own safety.
Only by living steadily can his strength become stronger and stronger, and his life will no longer be greatly threatened.
But, it is different now.
Now, He Song's cultivation has reached the Golden Core realm, and he already has a certain degree of self-protection.
However, unlike before, He Song has not joined any sect, and cannot obtain any Golden Core secret techniques from the sect to make his strength even stronger.
In this situation, He Song naturally needs to start looking for opportunities, and rely on these opportunities to gradually enhance his strength.
Moreover, the current He Song already has a certain degree of self-protection ability. Looking for opportunities outside does not need to be as careful as before.
Even when facing Golden Core cave dwellings, with He Song's current strength, it is enough to deal with the dangers within.
Moreover, He Song is proficient in formation dao, and understands formations very well.
Some Golden Core cave dwellings, or Foundation Establishment cave dwellings, that have formations set up outside, He Song can quickly find.
At least, it is easier to find than other cultivators.
In this way, He Song naturally has more motivation to seek opportunities.
This is also why He Song released his Divine Sense on the way back and constantly scanned the large area he passed through.
If possible.
He Song wanted to find a few places where opportunities were located on the way back.
However.
When several days later.
The Golden Core cave dwelling he opened up was faintly visible in the distance, but he had not noticed any opportunities descending along the way, He Song was also speechless.
"It seems that opportunities also need to be sought slowly. The idea of scanning large areas with Divine Sense, trying to find opportunities, is indeed too wishful thinking."
"Although in the world of cultivation, a large number of cultivators die every year due to exhaustion of lifespan, and a large number of cultivator's legacy residences are left in various mountains and rivers."
"But, how can the word 'opportunity' be so easily obtained?"
"It is probably very difficult to find a great opportunity that is enough to rapidly increase my strength."
"Forget it, it seems that in the future, in addition to cultivation, I will also have to go to the surrounding immortal markets and immortal cities, and even mortal cities, to take a stroll."
"Perhaps, there will be opportunities like the cave dwelling of True Lord Silver Moon back then, unknowingly discovered by some Qi Condensation stage cultivator."
"It's just that this approach is too random, and it is probably like looking for a needle in a haystack."
"In addition to this, there is another way."
"The hinterland of One Yang Sect cannot be penetrated, and the strength of one's own Golden Core cannot be exposed to the eyes of One Yang Sect people, but Purple Cloud Sect is next to it. If you want to inquire about opportunity news, you can go to the Immortal Prefecture of Purple Cloud Sect as a rogue cultivator Golden Core."
"Purple Cloud Sect is not currently at war with other forces. Presumably, even if there are rogue cultivator Golden Cores passing by, it will not cause too much reaction."
"In the Immortal Prefecture of Purple Cloud Sect, communicating with the Golden Core cultivators of Purple Cloud Sect, perhaps you can get some news."
"Moreover, the Golden Core cultivators in Purple Cloud Sect should be relatively more pure-hearted and desireless, and the safety should be higher than going to other places."
"But before that, you still have to have a certain degree of self-protection."
"It's better to wait until five years later, harvest the spirit medicine, refine it into pills, and then sell it to obtain a large number of spirit stones, and then set off."
"At that time, with a large number of spirit stones in hand, whether it is the Heavenly Gang Divine Thunder Array or the Earth Treasury Divine Light Array, they can all exert their strongest power, and the safety will be even better."
Thoughts flashed through his mind, He Song looked at the Golden Core cave dwelling getting closer and closer in the distance, and the thoughts in his heart gradually calmed down.
Since he had decided to wait until five years later to leave seclusion, then next, he should practice diligently.
Although the current He Song no longer has any secret techniques that need to be studied as soon as possible.
Nor does he have any formations that need to be comprehended as soon as possible.
There is nothing urgent to do.
But seclusion cultivation is still imperative.
However, the current seclusion is also very different from the previous seclusion.
During seclusion cultivation, He Song occasionally took time to stroll around the immortal markets and immortal cities around the cave dwelling.
From the surrounding immortal markets and immortal cities, and even mortal cities or towns, he inquired about various news around.
This was what He Song had thought of before seclusion, to inquire about opportunity information in the surrounding immortal markets and immortal cities, and even mortal cities.
—
Time flies.
Years pass like shuttles.
In the blink of an eye.
Five years have passed quietly.
In these five years, He Song casually sold some opportunities he obtained during the Foundation Establishment stage, and also obtained a lot of spirit stones.
The existence of these spirit stones quickly increased the number of spirit stones on He Song's body from several thousand mid-grade spirit stones to tens of thousands of mid-grade spirit stones.
With these spirit stones, He Song did not worry about spirit stones in these five years.
And until five years later.
He Song, after five years of seclusion cultivation, his own magical power has also improved in these five years, and his own strength has also become much stronger with the increase in magical power.
Compared to five years ago, He Song's current strength has increased by another point.
At the same time, the Mountain-Crushing Art, and even the Earth Spirit Body Protection Art, which he had been practicing, also had their power improved in He Song's continuous practice.
Although these two Golden Core spells had long been cultivated by He Song to proficiency, continuous practice still had a different kind of world.
According to He Song's guess, if he continued to practice, the power of these two spells would also increase accordingly.
Perhaps, after many years, the power of these two spells will also be greatly increased.
In addition to the increase in magical power and spells.
He Song's practice of body refining techniques has never stopped.
However, the Divine Profound Body Refining Scripture that He Song practices is actually not a profound method, but only a Foundation Establishment stage body refining technique obtained from Earth Sect.
Therefore, even though the time He Song obtained this Divine Profound Body Refining Scripture has been decades, nearly a hundred years.
But He Song's physical body cultivation has never kept up with the growth of his own cultivation.
Until now.
He Song has undergone decades, nearly a hundred years of continuous practice.
He has only barely used this Divine Profound Body Refining Scripture to cultivate his physical body to a degree sufficient to contend with cultivators at the Great Perfection of Qi Condensation with his physical body.
Now, although He Song's figure is still the same, his physical strength is already quite terrifying.
Even when facing cultivators at the Great Perfection of Qi Condensation, the current He Song is enough to contend with them relying solely on his physical body.
It has to be said that body refining methods are indeed extremely slow.
But He Song did not care too much.
The reason why he practiced this Divine Profound Body Refining Scripture was just to leave himself a trump card.
He is not a cultivator who specializes in body refining.
He Song was satisfied with the progress of the Divine Profound Body Refining Scripture, but he did not show it on his face.
He just silently pondered in his heart that he might still need a Golden Core realm body refining method in the future to quickly improve his own physical body cultivation.
In this way, his physical trump card will be even better than it is now.
