It was thanks to his naturally cautious nature that he had made it this far.
If it weren’t for his caution, he might have died several times already.
If it weren’t for his caution, he might not even have a trace of his bones left at this moment.
If it weren’t for his caution, let alone breaking through to the late stage of Qi-refining in twenty-two years, it would have been great if he could have lived past twenty-two years.
As He Song thought about this, an image suddenly appeared in his mind.
Su Yan.
Since reuniting with Su Yan five years ago, she would occasionally invite He Song to meet up and chat.
Now, five years had passed in the blink of an eye, and the relationship between Su Yan and He Song was relatively good.
Although, she was not regarded as a friend by He Song.
However, thanks to Su Yan’s feelings for He Song when they were young, He Song did not reject her completely during their occasional meetings.
A little girl with no relatives left in the world, although He Song wouldn’t give her much special treatment, it was not impossible for him to be friends with her and talk.
At this moment, He Song thought of Su Yan because he thought of her grandfather, Su Jin.
How many twenty-two years can one have in life?
Many years ago, He Song could still remember Su Jin’s expression when he allowed Su Yan to pester for candy.
But now…
The people from the past were gone.
Only Su Yan, who had grown up, was still living in this world.
When a person dies, it is like a lamp going out, and everything in this world has nothing to do with him or her.
With Su Jin’s image flashing in his mind, He Song shook his head and sighed, quickly recovering his mentality.
People are bound to die.
But, he was an exception.
Therefore, he still needed to get used to this kind of parting between life and death.
Continuing to practice the Thick Earth Formulas, He Song steadily consolidated his cultivation, preventing his cultivation from dropping to the sixth-tier Qi Refining.
Soon.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
He Song completely stabilized his cultivation, reaching the seventh-tier Qi Refining.
At the same time, it meant that He Song had truly stepped into the upper ranks of the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.
The first thing He Song did after leaving his seclusion was to seek out Wei Fan.
Spirit Construction Pavilion.
As He Song’s figure appeared on the second floor of the Spirit Construction Pavilion, Wei Fan was frowning at a thin piece of paper without a word.
Even when He Song sat down beside him, Wei Fan’s expression didn’t change. Seeing this, He Song was slightly startled, and couldn’t help but wonder about the information on the paper.
However, although he was curious, He Song didn’t peek, but just sat quietly next to Wei Fan and waited.
It was worth mentioning that…
Wei Fan’s cultivation had already broken through to the ninth-tier Qi Refining three years ago.
At this moment, Wei Fan was also a great master at the ninth-tier Qi Refining.
Among those below the Foundation Establishment Realm, Wei Fan was also one of the top few.
However, his cultivation progress was slightly slower.
You should know that Wei Fan was already at the eighth-tier of Qi Refining when He Song’s cultivation was only at the fifth-tier Qi Refining. (From Chapter 69.)
Counting the time, Wei Fan broke through to the eighth-tier Qi Refining during He Song’s ninth year since he had traveled to this world.
After that, ten more years passed, and it was only three years ago that he finally broke through from the eighth-tier Qi Refining to the ninth-tier Qi Refining.
In such a long time, even He Song’s cultivation progressed from the initial first-tier Qi Refining to the present seventh- tier Qi Refining. However, Wei Fan’s cultivation had only increased by two small realms.
As one could imagine,
Wei Fan’s speed in breaking through his cultivation was quite slow.
However, it might also be because once He Song set up the Spirit-Gathering Array and subsequently acquired a large number of spirit stones, his cultivation speed became extremely fast.
At the same time, after reaching the Qi-refining late stage, a cultivator’s breakthrough speed would slow down.
He Song had just broken through to the seventh-tier Qi Refining and didn’t know how fast the Qi-refining late stage would take.
But with He Song’s current wealth, he could choose to purchase the Thick Earth Sect’s Crumbled Jade Powder to speed up his cultivation during the Qi-refining late stage.
On the side, Wei Fan was still intently watching.
As He Song was getting bored while waiting, a streak of light flashed across the sky, and a sound- transmitting paper crane instantly appeared in front of He Song.
Seeing this, He Song’s face showed surprise, and he immediately released his breath, allowing the paper crane to turn into a piece of paper, which fell into his hand.
Picking up the paper, He Song was suddenly shocked.
“Mr. He, I have spent fourteen years in Green Wall Immortal City, and now, I am fifty-nine, less than a month away from my sixtieth birthday.”
“Today, I finally achieved Qi Refining great perfection, and soon, I will attempt Foundation Establishment.”
“In my life, I have only had the friendship of two people – Mr. He and Wei. On the day of my breakthrough, I naturally want to join hands with you both.”
“I, Meng Guan, am waiting for your arrival in Green Wall Immortal City.” “If I succeed this time, I will never forget the friendship between us.”
“If I fail, I hope you two friends can handle the matters that follow.”
“Meng Guan. ”
Looking at the lines of text on the paper, He Song suddenly felt the surrounding air become quiet.
It was so quiet that a needle drop could be heard all around. The entire world seemed to have gone deaf, leaving him with an endless sense of loneliness.
In just fourteen short years, Meng Guan had managed to cultivate his Qi
This peak refers to the full accumulation of spirit power within the body, which is ready to break through to Foundation Establishment. This is the peak, or the Qi Refining great perfection.
Fourteen years!
Five Spirits Roots!
Looking at Wei Fan, who was also staring in a daze, He Song’s heart was filled with mixed feelings.
It was terrifying to think about breaking through from the seventh-tier Qi Refining to the peak of ninth-tier Qi Refining within fourteen years with Five Spirits Roots’ qualification.
Keep in mind that it took Wei Fan nineteen years to break through from the seventh-tier Qi Refining to the ninth-tier Qi Refining – and that wasn’t even the peak of ninth-tier Qi Refining!
Wei Fan had the Four Spirits Roots!
His cultivation speed was faster than Meng Guan’s Five Spirits Roots.
However, even so,
Meng Guan still achieved his goal and raised his cultivation to the Qi Refining great perfection just a month short of his sixtieth birthday.
Such speed.
Such determination.
Such opportunity.
He Song couldn’t help but suspect whether his friend Meng Guan had awakened some memories from a past life or had gained a terrifying opportunity during these fourteen years.
Otherwise, Meng Guan’s cultivation speed would absolutely not be so fast! After carefully calculating, He Song quickly concluded that Meng Guan’s words were not false.
When He Song was at the third-tier Qi Refining, Meng Guan had already left the Immortal Pavilion to become a minor leader at the Red Spirit Gold Mine.
After three years, Meng Guan returned and asked Wei Fan to take him to Green Wall Immortal City to purchase a Breakthrough Elixir.
While buying the Breakthrough Elixir, He Song remembered Meng Guan mentioning his age.
Meng Guan had already turned forty-three when he left for the Red Spirit Gold
Mine.
Three years later, he was forty-six.
Now, including the past fourteen years, Meng Guan is about a month shy of sixty years old..
