Although this could possibly bring about some unnecessary troubles.
Such as being targeted, leading to assassination attempts.
But He Song is now a Foundation Establishment Master, these are mere inconveniences that he was not even afraid of during the Qi Refining stage, let alone now?
With the cultivation base of the Foundation Establishment Realm, bullying those who wish to kill and seize treasures, He Song is not under any psychological pressure.
When at Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.
Master Cheng Shan held the sixth rank.
Now that he has reached Foundation Establishment.
He can naturally do such things.
After all.
He who kills.
Must be killed in return.
For such a risk-free matter, He Song naturally wouldn’t feel any pressure.
He Song is cautious.
But not weak.
He simply wanted to steadily increase his strength in comfort.
Not to be a pushover who puts up with everything.
If someone wants to kill him.
Then he retaliates.
However, even in killing a rabbit, a lion will exert its full strength. When retaliating, he needs to utterly annihilate the opponent, erase all traces.
Without letting anyone know that he did it.
That’s all there is to it.
As long as no one can trace it back to him from those clues.
Then this matter was not his doing.
Moreover, He Song is now a Foundation Establishment Master and has the backing of the Thick Earth Sect.
He’s not likely to lose his head in handling general crises.
Having considered all this, He Song let his divine sense probe out, checking the massive amount of spirit rice in his storage bag, feeling a touch of helplessness.
The spirit rice he was carrying.
Just kept increasing.
The hundred acres of spirit fields he’d created outside, coupled with the dozens of acres of spirit fields and medicine garden next to his cave mansion in the Thick Earth Sect.
Combined, these fields and gardens could yield tens of thousands of pounds of spirit rice per year for He Song, and even some spirit medicine.
Tens of thousands of pound of spirit rice.
It doesn’t seem like much.
However, if you rack up tens of thousands of pound of spirit rice every year.
It does take up a lot of space.
“No way, this spirit rice is taking up too much space, and it takes too long to sell it off, which could rouse suspicion.”
“I need to find a way to change the way I acquire spirit stones.”
“Or, after my next secluded cultivation, I’ll take all this spirit rice to other sects outside the Thick Earth Sect to sell.”
Looking at the massive amount of spirit rice in his storage bag, He Song felt a headache and could only make a resolution to find a new way to procure spirit stones.
Or after he learns all the skills in his possession, as a Foundation
Establishment Master, he’ll go to other sect sects’ territories to sell spirit rice.
Presumably, as a Foundation Establishment, He Song should be able to handle this without incident.
Earlier, while He Song was constantly selling spirit rice in the Thick Earth Sect’s territory.
He Song had sharply noticed that the Thick Earth Sect had begun to notice the
sigmncant amount 01 spirit rice appearmg m Its territory.
They just hadn’t taken any specific action yet.
But during the four years he spent in seclusion learning his skills within the Thick Earth Sect, once when he went to the Foreign Affairs Hall, seeking news from the outside world.
He accidentally discovered a mission from his sect to investigate into the matter.
Upon learning the mission had suddenly appeared several years ago and remained uncompleted, He Song’s wariness immediately reached its peak.
Therefore, he became hesitant about selling spirit rice.
That’s also why he had so much spirit rice on him.
The Thick Earth Sect had started investigating the source of the spirit rice He Song had previously sold.
If he were to start selling spirit rice in large quantities within the Thick Earth Sect’s territory at this point, he’d most likely be investigated by the sect.
Although He Song is currently a Foundation Establishment elder of the Thick Earth Sect.
If this practice were discovered, his talent in array tao would likely be exposed instantly.
At that point.
Who knows what other complications might arise.
In order to avoid exposing himself in front of everyone, He Song didn’t sell any spirit rice in recent years, instead storing all the harvested spirit rice in his storage bag.
Luckily, he had just acquired a top-rank storage bag, or he wouldn’t have been able to fit so much spirit rice.
Setting these thoughts aside.
He Song soon became engrossed in practicing Breath Concealment Skill and Qi Observing Skill.
Breath Concealment Skill.
Qi Observing Skill.
And Soul Searching Skill.
He made a priority of learning these three skills.
The Breath Concealment Skill shields cultivation levels.
Qi Observing Skill sees through the opponent’s cultivation level.
The Soul Searching Skill helps in attaining serendipities.
If He Song wanted to sell spirit rice outside of the Thick Earth Sect’s territory.
While he’s out, he would certainly have to use these three skills frequently.
However.
Just when He Song was immersed in practicing these skills.
A great incident occurred outside.
The headquarters of the Seven Star Sect.
A Golden Elixir Master from the Nascent Soul Upper Sect traveled a long distance to meet Master Yan Shan, who had been guarding outside the Seven Star Sect’s gate.
Then, through the Seven Star Sect’s Sect Protection Array, he requested the Seven Star Sect’s Master Tian Shu to close the Sect Protection Array.
When the Seven Star Sect’s Sect Protection Array was closed.
The Golden Elixir Master of the Nascent Soul Upper Sect, along with Master Yan Shan and Master Tian Shu, had a lengthy discussion outside the gates of the Seven Star Sect.
During this time.
The Sect Protection Array of the Thick Earth Sect was activated, and Master Fa Xuan rapidly headed towards the gates of the Seven Star Sect.
By the time Master Fa Xuan arrived.
Outside the gates of the Seven Star Sect.
A strange sight occurred.
The four Golden Elixir Masters sat atop a mountain, discussing the tao. Their overwhelming spiritual pressure spread around them, preventing anyone from getting close to the mountain peak where they were located.
The four sat together, the subject of their discussion was unknown.
The Foundation Establishment Masters and Qi-refining cultivators who were excluded from the discussion could only faintly see the figures of the four.
But they couldn’t hear even a whisper of their conversation.
The discussion between the four Golden Elixir Masters lasted for three days.
Three days later.
Master Tian Shu of Seven Star Sect seemed to be infuriated and stood up as if ready to take action.
But under the pressure of Master Fa Xuan and Master Yan Shan, he didn’t make a move.
Instead, he sat back down after a moment of standoff under the mediation of another Golden Elixir Master.
Seeing this.
Master Fa Xuan and Master Yan Shan also took their seats again.
What followed.
Was further discussion.
Until several days later.
The Golden Elixir Master from the Nascent Soul Upper Sect was the first to leave.
Despite his frustration, Master Tian Shu restrained his anger. After bidding the two Golden Elixir Masters of the Thick Earth Sect farewell, he turned and returned to the nearby gates of the Seven Star Sect.
Immediately after.
Inside the gates of the Seven Star Sect, all the elders and disciples of Seven Star Sect began to pack up their belongings.
A few days later.
Under the leadership of Master Tian Shu, all the elders and disciples of the Seven Star Sect solemnly set off for the distance from the location of the Seven Star Sect’s gate.
From then on.
The war between the Thick Earth Sect and the Seven Star Sect.
Came to an end with the moving of the entire Seven Star Sect.
The two Golden Elixir Masters of Thick Earth Sect, after the relocation of the Seven Star Sect, immediately entered the gates of the Seven Star Sect. No one knew what the two Golden Elixir Masters did in the Seven Star Sect thereafter.
However, when the two Golden Elixir Masters left the Seven Star Sect, they immediately ordered the sealing of the gates of the Seven Star Sect, forbidding anyone from entering or exiting.
After that, the two returned to the Thick Earth Sect.
As for the distribution of the spoils of war after the two returned to the Thick Earth Sect, He Song had no news of it.
However.
Years after parting ways.
Meng Guan and Wei Fan finally returned to Thick Earth Sect from Mountain Immortal City.
At this point.
Only two years had passed since He Song immersed himself in the practice of the Breath Concealment Skill and the Qi Observing Skill.
He Song, at present.
Only just managed to train the Breath Concealment Skill to a level where he could freely use it without any loss of power.
As for the Qi Observing Skill, he hasn’t had the chance to start practicing yet.
At this moment.
It was He Song’s sixth year since he returned to the Thick Earth Sect.
He had not yet had the chance to refine the two high-quality artifacts he recently acquired, nor had he had the opportunity to train all the new skills he acquired to the level where he could use them freely without losing any power.
He had also not yet found a new way to obtain spirit stones.
However.
When Meng Guan and Wei Fan finally returned to the Thick Earth Sect after many years, He Song still emerged from his seclusion to meet them both.
At the gates of Thick Earth Sect.
He Song invited Meng Guan and Wei Fan, who had just returned from
Mountain Immortal City, into his cave mansion.
As aroma of tea began to diffuse in He Song’s cave mansion.
Meng Guan, sitting opposite He Song, had a hint of emotion on his face.
“When you achieved Foundation Establishment, I was unable to return and protect you. It was helpless. Fortunately, you managed to establish foundation successfully, thereby relieving me of some worry.”
Upon seeing He Song who had already reached the early stages of the Foundation Establishment, joy could hardly be concealed in Meng Guan’s eyes.
He, along with Wei Fan, now have He Song.
A total of three Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
He had once thought that if his good friend could also reach the Foundation Establishment, it would provide more support on the path from Foundation Establishment to Golden Elixir in the future.
However, although he was daring enough, he only dared to hope that one of his good friends could successfully establish a foundation.
If one friend could establish a foundation, then they could support each other and travel further on the Immortal Path.
But to his surprise.
Wei Fan successfully established foundation.
He Song also successfully established foundation.
All three of them were good friends and all successfully established foundations.
Such odds were rare in the world!
Seeing He Song at the early stages of Foundation Establishment, Meng Guan felt extremely gratified, and his face broke into a wider smile.
Aside.
Upon hearing Meng Guan say this, Wei Fan immediately nodded in agreement.
“It’s a joy that you could establish a foundation, considering the urgency of the war, we were certainly regretful for not being able to return.”
“However, now that the war has ceased, we must celebrate your achievement, you must not refuse.”
The two were first apologetic.
Then they clearly planned the celebration for He Song’s establishment of foundation..
