Chapter 225 - 225: 217: Never Would Have Thought
He Song’s life gradually returned to tranquility once again.
Nowadays, He Song’s cultivation.
Was close to breaking through to the mid-stage Foundation Establishment.
Therefore, naturally, every day of his cultivation was full of vigor.
Once his cultivation broke through to the mid-stage Foundation Establishment, He Song’s strength would likely experience a sudden surge.
Mid-stage Foundation Establishment.
Although the gap between it and the early-stage Foundation Establishment seemed to be only a small realm gap.
However, in the Qi Refining stage, the differences between the early-stage Qi Refining and mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators were enormous.
Not to mention He Song had already reached Foundation Establishment.
The gap between early-stage Foundation Establishment and mid-stage Foundation Establishment might not be as significant as that between heaven and earth, but when a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator faces off against an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators will easily achieve victory.
Of course.
Winning is winning, but defeating and killing are two different concepts.
Although a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator can easily win in a duel, killing a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator is still quite difficult.
Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators have basically learned at least one, or even more, tunneling skills.
A Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator would naturally have many Defense Amulets and Life-saving Amulets.
Defensive Artifacts owned by a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator can also block powerful attacks, preventing them from being instantly defeated.
Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators have already set foot on the starting point of the Immortal Path, and the means, methods, and techniques they have learned are numerous; it’s not impossible for them to have some hidden cards for self-protection.
Under so many combined conditions.
Defeating a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator may be simple.
But to kill a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.
Unless it is a group attack, or one side’s strength has exceeded the other side by a lot, otherwise, killing a Master of Foundation Establishment is indeed more difficult.
Generally speaking, in the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Only when the difference in the stage is at least two stages could crushing strength be produced.
A Late Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, when facing an Early
Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, can exert crushing strength.
For a Late Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, it would be relatively easy to kill an Early Foundation Establishment stage cultivator under the conditions with a significant difference in combat strength.
That’s because Late Foundation Establishment cultivators usually use high-quality Artifacts, and their mana is much stronger than Early Foundation Establishment cultivators, and they have more experience in dueling.
In this case, the combat strength that can be exerted is naturally incomparable to that of the Early Foundation Establishment cultivators.
He Song was about to breakthrough from the Early Foundation Establishment stage to the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment.
His combat strength would naturally experience a tremendous surge.
As long as he broke through to the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment.
Then at least, when facing a Late Foundation Establishment cultivator, his safety would be guaranteed.
Even if he couldn’t win.
He could still escape.
In the future, even if a Late Foundation Establishment cultivator came to cause trouble for him.
He would not he as weak as he is now_ lacking much resistance
Moreover.
After breaking through to the Mid -stage Foundation Establishment.
When facing Early Foundation Establishment cultivators in the future, with the help of the Four Great Spirit Puppets, he would have a greater chance of killing them on the spot.
A Mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, accompanied by four spirit puppets that are close to the Early Foundation Establishment stage. If they were to surround and kill an Early Foundation Establishment cultivator together.
It is believed that the success rate would increase significantly.
By that time.
He Song would be even more at ease when facing other Foundation Establishment Masters.
Herbs Immortal Workshop.
Although He Song had entered a state of seclusive cultivation, in addition to his daily cultivation, he would still spare some time to walk around his residence, or even within the Herbs Immortal Workshop.
Of course, when leaving his residence, He Song would usually change his appearance and figure, so as not to expose his identity.
As the only Foundation Establishment Master in the Herbs Immortal Workshop, if He Song were to appear in person, he would likely be the center of many people’s attention immediately.
At that time, it might even cause some disturbances.
As the Master Guardian of the Herbs Immortal Workshop, He Song naturally did not want to see such a scene.
Moreover, he also wasn’t used to being watched by people every time he went out.
Therefore.
Apart from being in seclusive cultivation within his residence.
At other times, He Song would disguise himself as a loose cultivator, named Chen Zhou, with the cultivation of a third-tier Qi Refining stage, and rent a house on the outskirts of the Immortal Workshop.
Whenever he wanted to walk around the Immortal Workshop, He Song would appear in various places in the Herbs Immortal Workshop under the guise of this third-tier Qi Refining stage loose cultivator.
With this layer of identity as a cover, He Song could walk around the Herbs Immortal Workshop without attracting anyone’s attention.
Many people in the Herbs Immortal Workshop who were acquainted with He Song’s disguise were unaware.
This seemingly insignificant loose cultivator of the third- tier Qi Refining stage in their eyes.
Was, in fact, the Foundation Establishment Master who ruled over the Herbs Immortal Workshop.
However.
Although such days were enjoyable, He Song’s cultivation also continued to improve during this period.
The amount of mana in his body gradually increased, slowly moving towards the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment. But the peaceful days didn’t last long for He Song.
A few months later.
On a certain day.
He Song completed his daily cultivation as usual and prepared to disguise himself as Chen Zhou to relax his mind in the Herbs Immortal Workshop.
But just as He Song was about to open the door of the cultivation chamber and transform himself into Chen Zhou, the Sound Transmission Amulet hanging at his waist suddenly lit up.
Seeing this, He Song stopped in his tracks, took the Sound Transmission Amulet from his waist.
He opened the Sound Transmission Amulet.
And removed the thin paper inside.
He Song quickly scanned the message, and a trace of surprise swiftly flashed in his eyes.
“Brother He, when I returned to the Sect for the ceremony, I didn’t expect finding a destined disciple would be so simple.”
“However, I miscalculated; during my time at the Sect, I actually refused many talented youngsters’ requests to become their master.”
“But then, I truly encountered a destined young girl.”
“Helplessly, I had already received my Master’s order that if I found a destined person, I must accept them as my disciple.”
“Although I felt uneasy, ultimately, I couldn’t disobey my Master’s wishes. All of a sudden, I had accepted her as my disciple.”
“Sigh.”
“Now, I am taking her back to the Wolf Immortal Pavilion to meet my Master.”
“Since I’m just passing by your Herbs Immortal Workshop as well, I was wondering if you’re available and if you broke through to the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment?”
“Ping’er. ”
As He Song read the beautiful writing on the paper, the shock in his eyes gradually faded.
His original thoughts were similar to Ping’er’s.
He assumed that when Ping’er returned to the Sect for the ceremony, if someone wanted to become her disciple, she would simply refuse.
As long as she didn’t want to accept them, how could a disciple suddenly appear?
But against all expectations.
Ping’er had the same thought, but what was the result?
Somehow, she had already taken a disciple back with her.
At this moment, Ping’er was taking her newly accepted disciple from the Thick Earth Sect’s mountain gate to the Wolf Immortal Pavilion.
Knowing all this, He Song suddenly grew extremely resistant to attending the ceremony at the Sect.
As an everlasting being,
He didn’t need a disciple.
And yet, Ping’er, who previously didn’t seem to want a disciple either, returned with a disciple after attending the ceremony just once. This…
Could accepting disciples become an addiction?
He Song didn’t know.
And didn’t want to know.
But he understood that if there were similar events requiring a return to the Sect in the future, he might need to come up with excuses to avoid them.
He didn’t want to go to the Sect for the ceremony and come back with a disciple like Ping’er had.
As an everlasting being,
Disciples were an impossibility.
And certainly not allowed!
After a silent reminder to himself, He Song pondered for a moment before retrieving a thin piece of paper to reply to Ping’er.
“A few months of seclusion and still haven’t touched the threshold of Mid-stage Foundation Establishment. I’m embarrassed in front of my fellow sister. ”
“If you don’t mind, come and visit.”
“I will wait for you in the Immortal Pavilion.
“He Song.”
Regarding Ping’er’s request to meet, He Song didn’t refuse.
Several months had passed since the two of them last met,
During this time, even though He Song hadn’t succeeded in breaking through to the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment,
Ping’er should also understand the difficulty of increasing one’s level in the Foundation Establishment Realm.
In such a situation.
Although He Song had mentioned a few months ago that he would try to break through to the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, not doing so in that time wasn’t a big deal.
Advancement in Foundation Establishment was not the same as Qi Refining stage; in the former, time spent in seclusion for training usually was counted by years,
While in the latter, it was mostly counted in months.
These were two completely different concepts.
A breakthrough for Foundation Establishment cultivators would not happen overnight.
However, after agreeing to Ping’er’s request to meet, something weighed on He Song’s mind.
At this moment,
He Song was already a Foundation Establishment Master.
His relationship with Ping’er, both having known each other for quite some time, was quite deep,
She was bringing her disciple to visit him,
As an elder, should he prepare a gift for her disciple?
But in her letter,
Ping’er didn’t inform him about her disciple’s level of cultivation.
If he gave a gift of low value, he would seem too stingy,
If it was too high, he wouldn’t be able to explain why he was giving such an extravagant gift.
After giving it some thought, He Song’s gaze accidentally swept over his desk, where he drew spirit amulets, and an idea came to his mind.
No matter her cultivation level.
If she’s at the Qi Refining Early Stage, give her a stack of low-quality Thick Earth Amulets, worth fifty spirit stones.
If she’s at the Qi-refining mid stage, give her a stack of mid-quality Thick Earth Amulets, worth two hundred spirit stones.
If she’s Qi-refining late stage, give her a stack of high -quality Thick Earth Amulets, worth five hundred spirit stones.
Of course,
If the girl’s cultivation is only at the Qi Refining Early Stage,
Giving her just one stack of Thick Earth Amulets may be a bit too cheap.
After considering it for a bit, He Song decided that if the girl’s cultivation was really at the Qi Refining Early or Mid Stage, he would give her a small trinket he no longer needed, taking the total value of the gift to several hundred spirit stones.
In this way, his gift as a Thick Earth Sect elder and Foundation Establishment Master wouldn’t seem too stingy.
However, deciding which small trinket to give her took He Song quite a while.
Ultimately,
It was after he disguised himself and went to Herbs Immortal Workshop’s Artifacts Pavilion where he specifically purchased a mid-quality defensive artifact worth several hundred spirit stones that he finally set his mind at ease.
A mid-quality defensive artifact worth several hundred spirit stones.
A stack of low-quality Thick Earth Amulets drawn by a Foundation Establishment Master.
With this gift,
It should be enough..
