Chapter 354: Chapter 346: As If Worlds Apart

Now.

He had reached the Late Foundation Establishment Stage and began to strive for Foundation Establishment Great Perfection.

But somehow, he realized.

He had only slightly broken through a small realm, yet that young girl Su Qian had already completed almost half of her life journey.

If Su Qian fails to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm this time, her lifespan will be fixed at 120 years.

Now almost sixty years old, she had indeed completed nearly half of her life journey.

Su Qian’s cultivation had also progressed from the first-tier Qi Refining to Qi Refining Great Perfection.

Now, she was even on the verge of charging at the Foundation Establishment Realm.

All of this had happened within the time it took for him to break through a small realm.

It was not until this moment.

He Song finally realized.

How vast the gap between a Foundation Establishment Master and a Qi-refining cultivator truly was.

In the time it took for a Foundation Establishment Master to break through a small realm, they could witness the first half of a Qi Refining stage cultivator’s life.

If they broke through two small realms, they might be able to see the entire life of a Qi Refining stage cultivator.

From the Foundation Establishment Early Stage to Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, they might be able to witness the entire life of a Late Stage Qi Refining cultivator.

You should know.

After breaking through to Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, the majority of Foundation Establishment Masters can live at least several decades or even hundreds of years.

In this calculation, the lifespan of Qi Refining stage cultivators is actually quite short in the eyes of Foundation Establishment Masters.

Especially the Early Stage and Mid Stage Qi Refining cultivators.

In terms of lifespan, they have only eighty or a hundred years, with the Late Stage Qi Refining cultivators able to reach 120 years.

Moreover, because of the weak strength of the Early Stage and Mid Stage Qi Refining cultivators, they are also the most likely to die young.

And precisely because of this, can they guarantee that they can live peacefully all the time?

In the Cultivation World, grudges and killings are common.

He Song’s smooth cultivation journey was not entirely based on luck.

Rather, it was due to his strength, caution, and luck.

If other cultivators did not possess He Song’s level of caution, luck, and strength, they might encounter several life-threatening crises during their Qi Refining stage.

Under such circumstances, perhaps a Foundation Establishment Master just had an impression of a Qi Refining stage cultivator.

But when they think of the person again, they might find out that the person had long since died.

As a result, they naturally formed the impression of their short lives.

What flashed in He Song’s mind at this moment.

It was also a lament for the short lives of Qi Refining stage cultivators.

He had only broken through a small realm slightly, and Su Qian had already gone through half of her life journey.

Such a comparison immediately gave He Song a sense of the passage of time as if separated by a world.

It turned out that while he was quietly cultivating.

The time in the outside world had been constantly passing by.

There were many Qi Refining cultivators like his past self, struggling and climbing desperately in the outside world.

Perhaps, when he was in the Qi Refining stage, a Foundation Establishment Master’s gaze also passed by him, expressing the same lament, right?

He put the paper in his storage bag.

He Song let out a faint sigh.

Then, he quickly took out a blank sheet of paper from his storage bag.

As mana flowed.

Lines of text appeared on the paper.

In addition to the response to Su Qian, there was also a Foundation Establishment experience.

To He Song, Foundation Establishment experience wasn’t a precious treasure.

Such a thing, for any Foundation Establishment Master, would have one or even several copies.

For other Foundation Establishment Masters, the value is almost negligible.

However, for Qi Refining cultivators, this Foundation Establishment experience could increase their chances of Foundation Establishment success.

Once successful, it would be a great profit.

Therefore, many well-connected Qi Refining cultivators would try to buy it.

When He Song served as Master Guardian of Heaven Power Immortal City, people would come looking, and He Song sold a lot.

Each Foundation Establishment experience could earn approximately ten thousand spirit stones.

For Qi Refining cultivators, this was quite a lot.

But for He Song, the cost of such a Foundation Establishment experience was incredibly low, almost as if it didn’t exist.

Yet, what Su Qian had done for him was practical work for decades.

Although He Song had later made up for the spirit stones owed, making Su Qian’s decades of work not for nothing.

However, this friendship and persistence also made He Song see the shining points in Su Qian.

Su Qian was a person with strong willpower and had been persistent in her work for many years.

If she could successfully break through the Foundation Establishment.

The repayment she promised to He Song would also be kept.

Therefore, by giving her a Foundation Establishment experience and an extra chance to establish her foundation.

Perhaps, He Song could exchange such a costless thing for the gratitude and repayment of a Foundation Establishment Master.

A Foundation Establishment Master’s gratitude and repayment would be worth far more than ten thousand spirit stones, right?

Of course.

If Su Qian fails in her Foundation Establishment, He Song won’t care too much.

After all, this Foundation Establishment experience does not require He Song to pay any cost, and he can consider it as a small token of gratitude given to Su Qian.

After finishing writing the reply to Su Qian and a Foundation Establishment experience,

He Song spat out mana at his fingertips.

A sound-transmitting paper crane instantly soared into the sky.

When the sound-transmitting paper crane had disappeared, He Song also focused his gaze on the Golden Elixir Array that covered the entire valley at this moment.

Before He Song had arrived here, he had instructed Su Qian not to send him any messages for the time being.

The reason for this.

It was because he was studying Array Skills outside the Golden Elixir Array.

If the sound-transmitting paper crane flew in, it might immediately reveal his whereabouts.

He Song, who initially didn’t know whether Golden Elixir Master was guarding the Golden Elixir Array or not, didn’t want to risk his life as a bet.

As a result, He Song specifically told Su Qian to temporarily stop sending the monthly messages.

During that time, He Song could only receive messages from sound transmission amulets, and the sound-transmitting paper cranes from Su Qian never stopped.

And this situation continued because He Song temporarily forgot about Su Qian.

Until today, Su Qian suddenly released a sound-transmitting paper crane, which also triggered the Array Skills in this place, then He Song remembered her existence.

Naturally.

To avoid similar situations with sound-transmitting paper crane touching Array Skills, He Song would have to make some changes.

Otherwise, if someone saw the sound-transmitting paper crane fluttering above the valley from afar, the strange things happening in the valley might spread throughout the surroundings immediately.

To prevent this from happening, He Song contemplated and quickly set up a Smoke Array outside the Golden Elixir Array.

With the protection of the Smoke Array, when Su Qian’s sound-transmitting paper crane comes to this place again, it will no longer happen as before.
