With a single glance,

He Song retracted his gaze, his expression returning to its usual calmness.

“Ninth-tier Qi Refining?”

Feeling relieved, He Song thought for a moment, and then decided to scout the surroundings once again by using the Earth Tunneling technique.

After confirming that there were no other cultivators around,

He Song concealed his own aura and slowly tunneled underground, heading in the direction of the ninth-tier Qi Refining cultivator not far away.

Soon enough, He Song appeared behind this ninth-tier Qi Refining cultivator.

This individual was a young man, possessing a sturdy build, with a back like a tiger and a waist like a bear.

Just from the sight of his back alone, one could conclude that he was not ordinary.

If He Song was still in the Qi Refining stage, upon laying his sight on this cultivator, he would likely turn tail and run.

Typically, cultivators with muscular physiques, that carry a strong killing aura like this man, are body refining cultivators.

Body refining cultivators are significantly more formidable in combat than ordinary cultivators.

If they were both in the Qi Refining stage, He Song would certainly not engage in a head-on collision with such a body-refining loose cultivator.

But things are different now.

He Song, now, is a Foundation Establishment Master.

In front of a ninth-tier body-refining cultivator, He Song wouldn’t feel any psychological burden.

In the face of the suppression of the larger cultivation realm,

irrespective of your exceptional talent, your widespread reputation, your formidable strength, with a single strike, He Song could send this person to meet his maker.

However, when it comes to body refining, He Song had also thought of practicing it.

Moreover, he had already learned a Foundation Establishment Realm body refining skill from the Book Collection Pavilion of the Thick Earth Sect.

But due to time constraints, He Song hadn’t begun practicing this body refining skill and thus lacked a body as ferocious as the man in front of him.

His gaze skimmed over the man’s muscular frame that resembled a demonic beast, and He Song quietly extended his hand.

“Soul Searching Skill!”

As He Song’s hand touched the back of the man’s head, he immediately began employing the Soul Searching Skill.

The man, initially believing that he was perfectly concealed and preparing for a surprise attack, suddenly felt a sharp pain, his body convulsing. He opened his mouth wide, instinctively trying to scream out loud.

But before he could scream,

He Song, who already anticipated the scream, had drawn several small rocks using mana from the surroundings. As soon as the man opened his mouth, He Song promptly shoved them inside.

Next,

He Song didn’t forget to cover the man’s mouth with one hand, muffling the man’s screams to mere whimpering sounds.

Meanwhile,

Images started to flash before He Song’s eyes.

Skipping over most of the images, He Song quickly learned of this person’s name.

The man was called Wei Hong.

He wasn’t a disciple of a sect, nor was he a cultivator from the Immortal Pavilion. From the day he began to draw Qi into his body, he had always been a loose cultivator.

Usually, he hunted demonic beasts for spirit stones and used various devious methods, even murder and robbery to accumulate spirit stones. Only then was he able to successfully advance to the late stage of Qi Refining.

More than two years ago, when he was passing by this place, he stumbled upon something unusual in the valley. The thirty-acre spirit field, the withered spirit rice in the field, and that barely-functioning array.

All these things drew his attention.

Seeing as this place appeared to have been abandoned for a long time, his courage gradually grew.

After waiting for several months, he hurried into the valley as soon as the array deactivated, harvesting all the spirit rice that was still edible.

Aside from the majority of spirit rice that had lost its spirit Qi and was no longer consumable, although he only gathered a small portion of the remaining spirit rice, he ended up with ten thousand kilograms of spirit rice.

Ten thousand kilograms of spirit rice!

That’s a total of one thousand spirit stones!

For a loose cultivator like him, upon obtaining spirit stones, he would definitely quickly convert them into his own strength.

Buying artifacts, elixirs, spirit amulets, and so on, all require a lot of spirit stones.

One thousand spirit stones, for ordinary loose cultivators, can be considered a hefty fortune.

As a result of this,

A hint of greed grew in his heart.

If he could harvest all of the rice from this thirty-acre spirit field, how much would he get?

Three thousand spirit stones!

If he could have these three thousand spirit stones every year….

Indulging in such fantasies, he decided to hide in the dark and wait for the master of this place to return.

According to his plan,

If the master of this place was of a low cultivation level, he might gain a cornucopia!

And if the master was of a high cultivation level, he could quietly retreat.

Risking little to win big, a perfect plan.

So he hid himself here, making plans to act once He Song arrived.

During this time, thankfully, no other cultivators discovered this unusual place.

Until He Song’s arrival today.

But what Wei Hong didn’t expect,

was that the master of this place, He Song, was a Foundation Establishment Master.

And this Foundation Establishment Master was extremely cautious.

Before Wei Hong could even detect He Song, He Song had already noticed him.

Moreover, He Song gave Wei Hong no chance to make excuses, instead, hit him directly with the Soul Searching Skill.

Next,

All of Wei Hong’s possessions and the ten thousand kilograms of spirit rice he had harvested previously, were now in He Song’s hands.

After looking through Wei Hong’s memories and discovering that Wei Hong was just an ordinary loose cultivator with not much wealth, He Song quickly shook his head and stopped using the Soul Searching Skill.

Just as He Song stopped using the Soul Searching Skill on Wei Hong,

Wei Hong’s physique, which was like a tiger and a bear, collapsed onto the ground as he broke into giggles like a child..
