With his wealth all laid out, three years had passed, and He Song had only a few spirit stones left.
It was believed that taking out all of his assets to buy gifts to thank the three of them should not seem too stingy.
Perhaps, it could even earn him some goodwill.
He Song arrived at Master Qing Yue’s residence.
After revealing his identity as a disciple of the Thick Earth Sect, He Song was respectfully welcomed into the residence by the servants.
Passing through various corridors, he arrived at a deeper part of the residence.
He Song met the three of them in a small pavilion in a flower garden.
“Junior He Song, greets Master Qing Yue and my two senior sisters.”
He Song personally thanked Master Qing Yue, Ping’er, and Chu Shuangshuang for their gifts.
Master Qing Yue did not make any noticeable response.
However, after looking at He Song’s gift, her gaze slightly softened, and her tone changed accordingly
Perhaps, she saw the value of the gift and had some understanding of He Song’s earnings.
Therefore, she regarded He Song more highly.
Or perhaps, she approved of He Song’s act of personally coming to express his gratitude.
Ping’er, who stood behind her, was somewhat infatuated with He Song’s gifts, constantly looking at them with a pleased expression.
On receiving her gift, Chu Shuangshuang’s face showed a rare hint of uncertainty, as if she hadn’t expected to receive a gift as well.
After expressing his gratitude, Master Qing Yue let He Song stay in Green Wall Immortal City for several days.
During these days, Ping’er and Chu Shuangshuang would occasionally accompany He Song, leading him on random strolls through Green Wall Immortal City.
Resigning to this, He Song abandoned his original plan of heading to the North City Entertainment District for music and followed the two of them everywhere they went.
Since his enjoyable stay at the ordinary residence in the north of Green Wall Immortal City, He Song had begun to like the place.
However, as the timing wasn’t right, He Song decided to give up on this tempting idea.
Fortunately, the two of them were good-looking, and it was quite enjoyable to go out with them.
Days passed quickly.
He Song managed to find his former neighbor, Lin Cong, in Green Wall Immortal City while taking a break from his busy schedule.
Lin Cong had been He Song’s neighbor for many years when he first arrived in this world. During the major upheaval in Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion, He Song foresaw the impending crisis and advised him to leave as soon as possible.
Without hesitation, Lin Cong listened to He Song’s advice and left Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion right away.
Since then, Lin Cong, a loose cultivator, embarked on his journey to Green Wall Immortal City.
Time flew by, and more than a decade had passed in the blink of an eye.
The once brawny, fierce-looking Lin Cong who seemingly wasn’t easy to disturb had already settled down in Green Wall Immortal City.
Moreover, his cultivation level had improved from the fourth-tier of Qi Refining when he left Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion to the sixth-tier Qi Refining now.
Fortunately, throughout the years, He Song and Lin Cong had kept in touch.
Now they had some free time, the two had a good chat together.
They reminisced about their days in the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.
However, He Song did not tell Lin Cong about his current status as a disciple of the Thick Earth Sect.
Although there was no need to hide it, the change in He Song’s identity could make Lin Cong, a mere loose cultivator, feel immense pressure.
Therefore, He Song didn’t mention it.
Instead, he reconnected with Lin Cong and continued strolling around Green Wall Immortal City with Ping’er and Chu Shuangshuang.
Several more days passed, and when He Song felt that the time was right, he left Green Wall Immortal City and headed back to the Thick Earth Sect in haste.
During this month-long experience outside the sect, He Song accomplished quite a bit.
From the destruction of the spirit field, killing Chen Zhong, finding a new valley to establish a spirit field, selling spirit rice at the Flowers Immortal Pavilion and laundering stolen goods,
Immortal Pavilion and looking for Su Yan,
and finally, coming to Green Wall Immortal City to personally express gratitude to Master Qing Yue, Ping’er, and Chu Shuangshuang as well as finding Lin Cong.
All of these events were accomplished within just over a month.
However, after returning to the Thick Earth Sect in just over ten days, He Song immediately started his seclusive cultivation.
At this point, He Song was already quite close to reaching the eighth-tier of Qi Refining.
Under such circumstances, it was better to focus on cultivation and reach the eighth-tier of Qi Refining before venturing out again.
By that time, his strength would naturally have significantly improved.
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, He Song had cultivated within the Thick Earth Sect for a full two years.
During these two years, apart from going to the valley thousands of miles away to replenish the spirit stones for the Array Skills of the newly established spirit field, He Song never stepped out of his small courtyard.
Within the Thick Earth Sect, there were specialized personnel who would deliver meals to each occupied courtyard.
The rice was spirit rice, the meat was demonic beast meat, and all the other ingredients were spiritual materials.
It could be said that even a single meal within the Thick Earth Sect would cost several or even more than a dozen spirit stones if it were to be obtained outside.
However, within the Thick Earth Sect, these things were supplied infinitely.
The outer disciples of the Thick Earth Sect only needed to focus on cultivation and had no need to worry about other matters.
After all, they were the hope of the sect, and they would be the cornerstones of the sect’s future.
As long as there were continuously Foundation Establishment Masters emerging, the resources spent would be considered insignificant.
Of course, the Thick Earth Sect also had external tasks available.
If disciples felt that their annual salary was insufficient, they could take up external tasks to earn spirit stones and contributions.
Sect contributions could be used to exchange for some unique items within the sect.
Spirit stones could also be used to purchase contributions, with an exchange rate of 150 spirit stones for one contribution point.
He Song had not taken up any external tasks since joining the sect and only had limited knowledge about them.
Today.
He Song sat on the meditation cushion in his courtyard, with the spirit power in his body rapidly circulating, gradually refining the spirit Qi from the surroundings into his spirit power.
At a certain moment, when the spirit power within his body had accumulated to a certain degree, He Song felt his body suddenly lighten, and the illusion of an intense surge in strength was felt at this moment.
Breakthrough, eighth-tier of Qi Refining!
Just after breaking through, He Song didn’t rush to leave his seclusive cultivation, instead continuing to absorb the surrounding spirit Qi and transform it into his spirit power.
It wasn’t until several days later, when He Song’s aura had stabilized, and his cultivation had solidified at the eighth-tier of Qi Refining, that he finally opened his eyes.
“In five years, I’ve reached the eighth-tier of Qi Refining. With my current cultivation speed, I’ll probably reach the great perfection of Qi Refining in just
over a decade, and by then…”
Calculating the time in his heart, He Song remembered the scene of Meng Guan successfully breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
That vortex of spirit Qi, neither large nor small.
The intense spiritual pressure that came with the breakthrough.
And the sudden changes in his identity and strength that followed the breakthrough.
All made He Song yearn for the same..
