However, during these five years, He Song had also created several puppets intermittently.

The two children that followed him were named Qing Feng and Mingyue.

Although these two children seemed harmless and appeared to be nothing more than small attendants following He Song to bolster his prestige.

But their strength was terrifyingly powerful.

These were two spirit puppets. When acting decisively, no one in the Qi Refining stage could resist them, and they could even delay a battle with Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators for a long time.

In addition to Qing Feng and Mingyue.

There were also two puppets usually used for calling. They were named Xianyun and Ye He.

Xianyun and Ye He were also two spirit puppets.

If Qing Feng and Mingyue joined forces with them, the Four Great Spirit Puppets gathered would even be able to defeat Foundation Establishment Masters.

With the addition of He Song, the real Foundation Establishment Master, a normal Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivator encountering He Song would likely face a five-person siege.

By that time, it would not be difficult to encircle and kill someone in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Other than Qing Feng, Mingyue, Xianyun, and Ye He, He Song no longer created other spirit puppets.

It wasn’t because he found his own combat power too strong.

And it wasn’t because he thought he was invincible.

It was because even the puppet control methods recorded in the Spirit Puppet Skill could only allow him to control four puppets to help him fight at the same time.

As for more, he simply couldn’t handle it.

Regarding this, He Song naturally would not waste spirit stones by spending them recklessly.

He no longer had the previous annual income of more than ten thousand spirit stones once a year.

Now, He Song could only receive the annual salary of 3,000 spirit stones from the Thick Earth Sect.

The nearest time for an extra spirit stone harvest would probably be several years later when the ten-year spirit grasses he planted began to mature.

At this moment, He Song only had tens of thousands of spirit stones left on him.

Not having enough spirit stones.

He Song naturally could not continue to spend lavishly.

He could only wait until his ten-year spirit grasses matured.

Meanwhile.

During these five years, He Song had found a defensive array from Array Tao Primary Introduction to study.

This defensive array, carefully selected by He Song, was called the Sea-Stabilizing and Spirit-Orienting Array.

It was a specialized defensive array.

When the array was activated, it would form a protective shield like an eggshell, protecting all the people or objects inside it.

With sufficient spirit stones, the Sea-Stabilizing and Spirit-Orienting Array could even withstand the fierce attacks of Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.

Although in this state, the consumption of spirit stones by the Sea-Stabilizing and Spirit-Orienting Array was extremely terrifying.

But it was still considered a defensive array with an exceptionally outstanding protective ability.

Moreover.

Once the Sea-Stabilizing and Spirit-Orienting Array was deployed, it would continuously absorb the surrounding spirit Qi and store it in the array eye.

When enemies attacked, this stored spirit Qi would replace the spirit stones and would keep the enemies outside the array.

In this way, even if He Song couldn’t replenish the array with spirit stones in time, the Sea-Stabilizing and Spirit-Orienting Array could still rely on this part of spirit Qi to hold on until He Song provided more spirit stones.

Under such circumstances, the Sea-Stabilizing and Spirit-Orienting Array became He Song’s first choice of defensive array.

During these five years.

Apart from cultivation and learning various skills, He Song spent most of his time studying this array.

As for the Sea-Stabilizing and Spirit-Orienting Array, He Song’s current research progress was not low.

According to He Song’s estimation, in a few more years, he would be able to successfully create an Array Disk and Array Banner for the Sea -Stabilizing and Spirit-Orienting Array and successfully deploy this array.

Apart from the Sea-Stabilizing and Spirit-Orienting Array.

He Song also did not lag behind in the practice of skills during these five years.

During the ten years he spent in the Thick Earth Sect.

He Song had memorized several Foundation Establishment skills, waiting for the opportunity to practice them later.

During these five years.

He Song had completely practiced the two Foundation Establishment skills he had recorded previously, mastering them to the point where he could execute them effortlessly and retain their full power. These two Foundation Establishment skills.

One was the Dust Cloak Skill.

Using mana to condense dust around the body for protection, it defends oneself from sneak attacks.

This skill was specifically for daily protection and guarding against sneak attacks.

He Song was naturally cautious.

When he first learned about the Dust Cloak Skill, he had considered practicing it.

However, he was in the Thick Earth Sect at that time and did not need to worry about his own safety, so he put it aside.

Later on, He Song was transferred to the Herbs Immortal Workshop as a guardian and learned the Spirit Puppet Skill, which once again delayed this skill.

Now, He Song had already mastered the Spirit Puppet Skill and was guarding the Herbs Immortal Workshop, so he inevitably had concerns about his own safety.

As a result, he spent his early years in seclusive cultivation, continually practicing the Dust Cloak Skill to ensure his safety.

Fortunately, after two years of practice, the Dust Cloak Skill had reached the point where it could be used effortlessly without losing any power.

As for the second Foundation Establishment skill He Song practiced during these five years.

It was the Fire-Melting Shield.

Condensing mana into a shield, then controlling it with divine sense, it could be attached to artifacts to increase their defensive capabilities.

This Fire-Melting Shield, like the Dust Cloak Skill, was a Foundation Establishment skill that could enhance He Song’s ability to survive.

During the ten years when he was at the Thick Earth Sect, He Song had memorized this skill, leaving it for future practice.

Now, as He Song was in charge of the Herbs Immortal Workshop, he focused on the Fire-Melting Shield after mastering the Dust Cloak Skill to the point where it could be used effortlessly and not lose any power.

He spent another two years training the Fire-Melting Shield to a level where it could be used effortlessly and without losing any power.

Apart from these two Foundation Establishment methods.

In the last year of these five years, He Song also started trying body refining techniques.

Body refining techniques.

He Song had been coveting them since his Qi Refining stage.

However, at that time, he was preoccupied with worldly matters and later broke through to Foundation Establishment, always striving for his own combat strength.

As a result, it was not until now that he began to truly practice body refining techniques.

Fortunately, He Song was well prepared.

While staying at the Thick Earth Sect for ten years, He Song had recorded a body refining skill for himself among the Foundation Establishment methods he had noted down in the Book Collection Pavilion.

Divine Profound Body Refining Skill.

This is one of the few body refining techniques in the Thick Earth Sect.

When He Song initially chose a body refining technique, he set a condition for himself.

That is to say.

Body refining techniques which train one to be a muscle-bound hulk, with bulging muscles all over the body, giving off an unmistakable sense of not to be messed with, are absolutely not allowed!

Immortal cultivators don’t prefer alcohol, only tea.

The places they live are full of birdsong and the fragrance of flowers, with beautiful scenery.

When immortal cultivators talk about the Dao, their conversations always incorporate the principles of heaven and earth.

Immortal cultivators fly with ease through the world using their tunneling light.

Immortal cultivators fight with wit and skill, laughing as the dust settles.

Immortal cultivators…

All of this.

Is it not for the dignity of an immortal cultivator?

Those guys with muscles all over their bodies, like they hate not having muscles even inside their bones, are simply seen as demonic cultivators in the eyes of orthodox immortal cultivators.

During the Qi Refining stage, practicing body refining techniques will not attract too much attention.

Because there are too many loose cultivators during the Qi Refining stage, so a muscle-bound hulk might still give others a sense that they shouldn’t be provoked.

When He Song first met Lin Cong, he had such a thought.

But after Foundation Establishment.

If one still has a body covered with bulging muscles and a face full of fierce-looking flesh, they might as well just join a Demonic Sect.

Because in the orthodox sects, such an oddity would certainly be treated like a monkey, attracting the attention and comments of Foundation Establishment Masters.

And the Divine Profound Body Refining Skill.

It is just such a body refining skill, only increasing one’s physical strength and toughness.

But it will not make one’s body full of bulging muscles or have a face full of fierce-looking flesh.

For this reason, it became the motivation for He Song tn change the Divine

Profound Body Refining Skill.

Divine Profound Body Refining Skill.

Actually, it is not exceptionally ingenious, it just gradually increases one’s physical strength and toughness through repeated physical training.

However, even so, this Divine Profound Body Refining Skill is still one of the few body refining techniques in the Thick Earth Sect that can only be practiced by Foundation Establishment Masters.

The body refining techniques practiced by ordinary Qi Refining cultivators not only cause severe pain but also have effects that cannot match the effectiveness of the Divine Profound Body Refining Skill.

Their upper limit probably isn’t very high either.

As for the upper limit of the Divine Profound Body Refining Skill.

It was not recorded in the skill itself, and He Song did not care too much about it.

One year ago, after having practiced the Dust Concealment Technique and the Fire-Melting Shield to the point where he could easily cast them without losing potency.

He Song began his training in the Divine Profound Body Refining Skill.

Since that time.

Apart from his daily cultivation exercises and comprehension of the Sea-Stabilizing and Spirit-Orienting Array, He Song started repeatedly training in the Divine Profound Body Refining Skill with the rest of his time.

The training in Divine Profound Body Refining Skill is not accomplished overnight.

It requires long-term persistence to gradually achieve results.

At the same time, various spirit fruits and spirit medicines are needed to nourish the physical body.

In this way, the physical body’s intensity can continuously become stronger during the course of training in the Divine Profound Body Refining Skill.

However, because of this, after practicing the Divine Profound Body Refining Skill, He Song’s spirit stones, which were already scarce, began to slowly decrease.

Fortunately, He Song had only been practicing for a year, so the spirit stones on his body were still relatively abundant.

It’s just that.

Every time He Song activated the Divine Profound Body Refining Skill, he would think of his shrinking spirit stones.

A trace of worry gradually formed in his mind.

During the years when the spirit medicine he planted had not yet matured.

Shouldn’t he have to experience that kind of spirit stone shortage again?

Thinking of the days when he was in the Qi Refining stage when he wished he could split a spirit stone into two, He Song shook his head repeatedly.

Such days could not possibly happen to a Foundation Establishment Master. One day.

He Song was sitting quietly in his chamber, operating the Divine Profound Body Refining Skill, slowly making his physical body stronger.

However, at this moment.

The Sound Transmission Amulet he had placed nearby suddenly lit up.

He Song, who was currently operating the Divine Profound Body Refining Skill, naturally noticed this.

Soon.

After ending the training.

He Song beckoned, and the Sound Transmission Amulet from a distance immediately flew up and into his hands.

Opening the Sound Transmission Amulet, He Song took out the paper inside.

He was quickly captivated by the words on the paper.
