Chapter 353: Chapter 345: Seclusive Cultivation

Translator: 549690339

He Song had been staying in the valley for several days and noticed that no one seemed to be pursuing him.

As a result, his impression of the Treasure Pavilion became even better.

After leaving the White Egret Immortal City,

He Song traveled directly, quickly returning to the Golden Elixir Array near the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.

Inside the Golden Elixir Array,

He Song secluded himself for cultivation again.

This time, before leaving the Golden Elixir Array, he had completely dealt with the three matters at hand.

What followed was to continuously enhance his cultivation and become stronger.

Time passed slowly,

with the years going by.

Inside his quiet room, He Song was sitting cross-legged, and streaks of spirit Qi kept rushing towards him from all directions.

With the operation of Thick Earth Formulas within him, He Song continuously refined the spirit Qi around him and converted it into his own mana.

While He Song was continuously refining the spirit Qi around him, the surging mana within his body also started to increase gradually.

As time continued to pass, the mana within He Song’s body continued to increase accordingly.

Feeling that his own mana was becoming more and more substantial, He Song immediately felt a sense of satisfaction rushing through his mind.

Seclusive cultivation was not particularly monotonous.

The spirit Qi from the outside world was absorbed into the body,

and then transformed into spirit power,

which was compressed and successfully turned into mana,

Mana operated within the body, producing a stronger attraction and continuously absorbing the rich spirit Qi from the outside world.

Through this cycle, He Song manipulated the mana to operate within his body, feeling his strength gradually increasing,

A sense of satisfaction naturally emerged in his heart,

the sensation where efforts were immediately rewarded was a reason why seclusive cultivation was not overly monotonous.

This perception of increasing strength gave cultivators a feeling of satisfaction regarding their own spirit power, or the growth of mana,

This sense of satisfaction, induced them to continue to absorb spirit Qi and enhance their strength until they became stronger.

Only when encountering a bottleneck, this satisfaction would rapidly fade.

This was the reason why many cultivators failed to make a breakthrough after encountering a bottleneck.

Without the satisfaction from the increase in strength, where could the motivation come from to persist in daily cultivation?

However, while He Song was continuously refining the spirit Qi from his surroundings and increasing his mana,

from time to time, some messages from the outside world were transmitted, giving He Song a full understanding of what was happening outside.

One day,

He Song, who was in seclusive cultivation, suddenly sensed a slight disturbance outside the grand array.

After sensing this, He Song, who had been cultivating with his eyes closed, immediately opened his eyes and a cautious look flashed across his eyes.

The Golden Elixir Array was disturbed, and although he didn’t sense any killing intent, He Song didn’t dare to take it lightly.

This place was remote, and usually, no cultivators or demonic beasts disturbed the array here during his cultivation.

So, the sudden disturbance naturally made He Song stay alert.

Could it be…

Did someone discover the Golden Elixir Array here and was currently probing from outside?

With this speculation in his mind, He Song instantly got up and quickly left the quiet room, heading outside the cave mansion.

Whether someone discovered this cave mansion and wanted to investigate,

or someone unintentionally triggered the array here, causing the disturbance,

He Song would unavoidably check it out in person.

Although this would interrupt his cultivation, He Song’s cultivation this time wasn’t a closed-door death trap. It was just a long term cultivation.

It wouldn’t lead to any drastic consequences if interrupted.

Temporarily ending cultivation didn’t have any repercussions for He Song.

Under the current circumstances, although He Song was still focused on cultivation, he naturally needed to pay attention to the situation outside.

Moreover,

If He Song sat in the quiet room, and rashly probed with his divine sense to observe the situation outside the Golden Elixir Array for convenience,

If the person outside was at the Golden Elixir Realm, He Song’s act of probing with his divine sense would be a death wish.

He Song definitely didn’t want to be immediately targeted by a Golden Elixir divine sense as soon as he probed out with his own sensing abilities.

The consequence was something he didn’t want to accept.

At the entrance to the cave mansion,

When He Song arrived here and looked up to peer beyond the Golden Elixir Array in the safest way with his vision,

he noticed a lack of human presence outside the Golden Elixir Array, only a sound-transmitting paper crane hovering outside the array.

Seeing this,

A look of relief crossed He Song’s face.

It seemed that someone was trying to find him through a sound-transmitting paper crane. However, the paper crane was stopped by the Golden Elixir Array, hence triggering the array.

However, just in case, He Song still probed several times.

Only after being certain that there was no danger around did he draw the sound-transmitting paper crane into the array.

When the sound-transmitting paper crane fell into He Song’s hand,

He Song once again was not entirely confident, extending his divine sense to scan the valley around him carefully.

After reconfirming that there was no danger from the outside, he then released a bit of his aura, and unfolded the sound-transmitting paper crane in his hand.

“Qian’er pays respects to Sir.”

“May Sir live forever.”

“Several years have passed since Sir informed me to cease the monthly letters.”

“Time has flown. I still remember when Sir and I first met. Everything from that moment is still fresh in my memory.”

“Time truly flies and decades can pass in a blink of an eye.”

“Now, I, Qian’er, am no longer young. I am already 59 years old, and in about a month, I will be 60.”

“Fortunately, with Sir’s assistance earlier, I have already purchased a Vein Protection Elixir from the Eight-vein Immortal City, and I am about to make an attempt on the Foundation Establishment Realm.”

“This time, although there won’t be life-threatening danger, I daresay that I would like to ask Sir for some pointers on how to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.”

“If I can successfully step into the Foundation Establishment Realm this time, I will definitely return the favor to Sir.”

“If it doesn’t go well, I will continue to provide monthly news to Sir without complaints or regrets.”

“May I ask if Sir can accept.”

“Qian’er expresses her thanks.”

His gaze sweeping across every line of handwriting on the paper in front of him, He Song looked towards the distance, a touch of vicissitude flashing in his eyes.

Time really flies … has so much time passed already?

Thinking back,

When his cultivation had barely broken through to the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, due to the founding of the Righteous Alliance, he had no choice but to find a backup plan for himself in advance.

And so, He Song embarked on the journey to build his hidden cave mansion.

Along the way, he passed by the Flying Cloud Immortal Mansion.

And in the Spirit Skill Pavilion of the Flying Cloud Immortal Mansion, he ran into Su Qian, who was hiding in a corner and eating stolen food.

He Song could even recall how Su Qian’s cheeks were stuffed full with food, bulging out, yet she couldn’t resist stuffing more food into her mouth.

The Su Qian back then was at the first-tier Qi refining stage, and still had the appearance of a young girl.

That innocent and adorable look was still fresh in He Song’s memory.
