However, the royalty and nobles of the Great Li Dynasty who worked for the Thick Earth Sect enjoyed many benefits as well.
Although they didn’t have Spirit Roots and couldn’t cultivate immortality.
The enjoyments within the mortal world were something many cultivators could only dream of.
“Great Li Dynasty… I should head northwest, find a hidden corner, set up a Spirit-Gathering Array and Illusion Array, and then return to the Immortal Pavilion.”
After sorting out the relationship between the Great Li Dynasty and Green Wall Immortal City in his mind, He Song sighed softly and quickly made a decision.
The existence of the Li Dynasty gave He Song a deeper understanding of this world.
In the sphere of influence of a sect or aristocratic family, almost everything was specifically designed to serve the sect or family.
There were no exceptions.
Even if it didn’t seem that way.
In fact, the inner workings remained the same!
Everything in existence was deliberately designed, with a complete and very logical theoretical basis supporting it.
At the same time, he also understood something else.
The mortal world might not be a safe place either.
This was where the Thick Earth Sect replenished its fresh blood.
If one could hide their identity and not be discovered, they could enjoy many things in the mortal world that could not be experienced in the Cultivation World.
However, if a cultivator were to cause chaos in the mortal world, he probably wouldn’t last long before a flying sword would come for his head.
Leaving a silver ingot behind, He Song didn’t care about the shouting waiter behind him as he left Salt City directly.
While he was having tea, there was no useful information being relayed in the entire tavern.
This caused He Song to abandon his assumption that he was the protagonist.
When had a protagonist ever gone to a tavern for a drink and not heard any useful news?
Not to mention things like the emergence of treasures, sect wars, and tensions within the Martial World.
At the very least, with his current situation, he should have heard about a place in some remote and treacherous area, perfect for creating a spirit field, right?
Unfortunately, all he heard was some drunken people causing a ruckus and nothing more.
Having no other choice, He Song decided to leave Salt City and continue Earth Tunneling towards the northwest.
And so, after Earth Tunneling underground for several hours and covering hundreds of miles,
He Song passed by several mortal cities.
Finally, in an area of continuous mountains and forests, he found a suitable place to create a spirit field that pleased him.
It was a valley surrounded by mountains, with few signs of human activity.
Above the valley, a mist enveloped it, making it resemble a fairyland.
Inside the valley, the terrain was flat, with a clear stream running by.
Apart from the sparse spiritual qi, the scenery here was excellent, making it a place of clear mountains and beautiful waters.
He Song Earth Tunneled to this location, revealing his head on the ground.
Seeing this place, he immediately showed a satisfied expression on his face.
“This place is perfect for creating a spirit field!” With a slight smile, He Song’s eyes flashed, and the whole valley scene was immediately captured in his gaze.
He didn’t find any traces of fierce beasts living here, but he did find signs of animals coming to drink water.
More importantly, he didn’t find any traces of cultivators staying here.
Seeing this, He Song finally relaxed and canceled his Earth Tunneling Skill, appearing on the ground.
The grass inside the valley was lush and green.
However, He Song was not in the mood to enjoy the scenery at this moment.
Instead, as soon as he emerged, two mid-grade Thick Earth Amulets and nine Array Foundations appeared in his hand.
Mid-grade Thick Earth Amulets were for defense in case someone suddenly attacked.
The nine Array Foundations were for the Illusion Array. With two mid-grade Thick Earth Amulets ready to be activated in his hand, He Song’s other hand quickly formed seals and cast spells.
Quickly, the nine Array Foundations turned into rays of light and landed in their respective positions.
Soon after, a faint light flickered, and the Illusion Array was set up.
When He Song controlled the Illusion Array to cover the entire valley, he finally let out a sigh of relief, looking around with an interest in enjoying the view.
Putting away the two mid-grade Thick Earth Amulets in his hand, He Song scanned the surroundings and felt delighted.
The scenery here was superb.
Clear mountains and beautiful waters.
It’s just that the spiritual qi was a bit thin.
However, for him, the thin spiritual qi was actually a good thing, as he didn’t have to worry about other cultivators competing with him.
But then, He Song’s delight quickly faded.
His purpose here was to create a spirit field, not to enjoy the scenery.
Even if the valley had stunning scenery, he would still transform it into a spirit field.
Shaking his head, He Song suddenly held in his hand five Array Foundations and began setting up the first Spirit-Gathering Array.
With a flash of light, He Song set up the first Spirit-Gathering Array.
However, He Song soon encountered a problem.
Once the Spirit-Gathering Array was set up, its range needed to be set for it to gather spiritual qi and lock it within that range.
The bigger the range, the more diluted the spiritual qi in the Array would be.
If the range was small, the spiritual qi in the Array would be more concentrated.
Setting a range of ten acres compared to one acre would result in a vastly different concentration of spiritual qi in the Spirit-Gathering Array.
It was not until now that He Song finally discovered that the Spirit-Gathering Array in the Immortal Pavilion was not the one he set up, rather it must have been a higher-grade, even possibly several levels higher than his.
The difference between them was too great.
It should be noted that the Spirit-Gathering Array in the Immortal Pavilion covered not only the entire Immortal Pavilion but also the spirit field outside it.
With such a huge range, the concentration of spiritual qi was still not low, fearful, it would take an even higher-grade Spirit-Gathering Array to maintain such concentration.
He Song sighed in his heart.
He casually set the range of the Spirit-Gathering Array to ten acres, then started to draw a new foundation for another Spirit-Gathering Array.
It would only be after the ten days when the power of the Spirit-Gathering Array reached its maximum that He Song could calculate how to maximize the benefits within the range covered by a single Spirit-Gathering Array.
Only then could he transform a barren field into a rich spirit field within two years.
In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.
During these ten days, He Song used the spirit stones in his storage bag to draw the foundation for four Spirit-Gathering Arrays and one Illusion Array.
The number of Array Foundations, including the losses, cost He Song more than thirty spirit stones.
There were only 35 spirit stones left in his storage bag.
He couldn’t use these spirit stones.
Spirit-Gathering Arrays and Illusion Arrays both required spirit stones for their operation, and the spirit stones He Song had would only be enough to power the arrays for a year.
He would have to replace the spirit stones next year to maintain the operation of these arrays.
Fortunately, with the passing of the ten days, He Song had calculated the coverage range of the Spirit-Gathering Array..
