Quickly.
Su Yueqing finished counting.
Her crisp voice then rang in He Song’s ears.
“There are a total of fifteen mid-quality spirit amulets here. Since you purchased them from the Spirit Amulet Pavilion, there is no depreciation. Calculated at twenty spirit stones per piece, they can be offset against three hundred spirit stones.”
“Two high-quality Earth Tunneling Amulets and four high-quality Thick Earth Amulets. Together, they total seven hundred and twenty spirit stones.”
“Subtracting three hundred spirit stones, you only need to pay four hundred and twenty spirit stones.”
She places the two high-quality Earth Tunneling Amulets and four high-quality Thick Earth Amulets in front of He Song as she casually collects all the mid-quality spirit amulets given by He Song.
Seeing this, He Song waved his hand, and four hundred and twenty spirit stones appeared on the table. Money exchanged on one hand.
Goods on the other.
When Su Yue had put away the spirit stones, He Song also put the six high-quality spirit amulets on the table into his storage bag.
Six high-quality spirit amulets.
Among them, four are high-quality Thick Earth Amulets, used specifically for self-protection.
The other two are high-quality Earth Tunneling Amulets for use in emergencies.
It’s not that He Song didn’t want to buy more, but this time he had spent eight hundred and seventy spirit stones at the Artifacts Pavilion, plus four hundred and twenty spirit stones at the Spirit Amulet Pavilion.
In a very short time, He Song had spent a total of one thousand two hundred and ninety spirit stones.
Without offsetting with his mid-quality spirit amulets and low-quality artifacts, the spirit stones he originally had would not even be enough to pay the bill.
At this moment.
After spending one thousand two hundred and ninety spirit stones, He Song only has more than two hundred spirit stones left.
These more than two hundred spirit stones are set aside specifically for purchasing spirit amulet materials in the future.
The transaction ends.
Money and goods exchanged.
Under Su Yue’s watery gaze, He Song quickly left the Spirit Amulet Pavilion.
In the Spirit Amulet Pavilion.
Watching He Song’s figure recede, Su Yue sighed lightly, a wistful expression on her face.
“Alas, when can I break through to the Qi-refining late stage? Although there looks to be only one word difference between the Qi-refining mid and late stages, in reality, there’s a huge gap in status and identity.” He Song was unaware of Su Yue’s sigh in the Spirit Amulet Pavilion.
After leaving the Spirit Amulet Pavilion.
He Song went straight back to his new home.
In the time that followed, he placed the high-quality Thick Earth Amulets somewhere within his easy reach.
With a single thought, he could instantly activate the high-quality Thick Earth Amulet to protect himself.
At the same time, the high-quality Earth Tunneling Amulet was also put somewhere easily accessible.
As soon as he sensed something amiss, he could use the Earth Tunneling Amulet to escape to a place ten miles away in the blink of an eye.
This way, his safety naturally surged.
P.p«i
He Song immediately refined the Red Gold Sword and Thick Earth Shield that he had just bought.
Artifacts needed to be refined, or recognized as the user’s own, leaving a unique mark in the artifact.
After refining, only the user can wield the artifact.
Even if the artifact is taken by others, they would not be able to use it after it’s been refined.
Unless the user dies or deliberately erases the mark themselves, the mark produced by refining will not disappear and holding it in one’s hand will not serve any purpose.
Just like before when He Song bought the artifact, he had already erased his mark from those low-grade artifacts so he could sell them.
After refining.
He Song continued to familiarize himself with his newly-purchased pair of mid-quality artifacts – one offensive and one defensive.
Once refined, artifacts still required familiarization.
Familiarizing oneself with the operation of an artifact and strategies to handle enemies is a necessary thing.
Of course, when using a sword-type artifact, learning a set of Sword Formulas to manipulate mana swords will make them more powerful in combat.
If no Sword Formulas are learned, the power of the mana sword will be slightly less when wielded in combat, but since it’s a mid-quality artifact, the difference won’t be much.
Defensive artifacts are not so troublesome, they just need to be manipulated to block attacks and don’t pose much difficulty.
During these four years, He Song had learned a set of mid-quality Sword Formulas.
This set of Sword Formulas, named the Sun Sword Formulas, carries a sense of unyielding resolve.
Once executed, it’s very powerful but provides no defensive capabilities.
Fortunately, He Song has high-quality Thick Earth Amulets and mid -quality defensive artifacts, so he does not need to worry about his own defense, making the Sun Sword Formulas a good choice.
Therefore, when familiarizing himself with the Red Gold Sword, it didn’t look too bad when he demonstrated the mid-quality Sword Formulas.
Quickly.
A day and a night passed in the blink of an eye.
At dawn the next day.
He Song arrived at the exit of the Immortal Pavilion only to see that Wei Fan was already waiting there early.
Seeing He Song’s arrival, Wei Fan nodded at him without speaking and signaled him to follow.
He Song then saw Wei Fan’s figure darting out at high speed, heading north of Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.
Seeing this.
Without hesitation, He Song executed the Mountain Light Body Skill and closely followed.
When traveling alone.
He Song usually used the Earth Tunneling Skill.
This is much safer.
But he cannot use the Earth Tunneling Skill when traveling with others.
He was prepared for this since the time he mastered the Earth Tunneling Skill.
Therefore.
Before breaking through to the Qi-refining late stage, He Song went to the Spirit Skill Pavilion to buy a mid-ranking skill, Mountain Light Body Skill. By doing so, he could hide the fact that he had already learned the Earth Tunneling Skill.
Hide his strongest skills.
But expose some other skills so that others had no reason for suspicion and treated him as a normal amulet Tao master.
In this way, He Song wouldn’t draw too much attention, nor would he be too weak and bullied by others.
Appropriate exposure.
At the same time, hide some of your aces. This is true cultivation.
Anyway, Mountain Light Body Skill is very fast, and combined with He Song’s cultivation at the Qi-refining late stage, its speed is not slower than Earth Tunneling Skill.
It’s just that Mountain Light Body Skill is not as secretive as the Earth Tunneling Skill.
In terms of speed, it is actually on par with Earth Tunneling Skill.
This way, He Song wouldn’t fall too far behind Wei Fan.
Soon, a day and half passed like the blink of an eye.
Using the Mountain Light Body Skill, He Song and Wei Fan managed to travel a distance of more than two thousand miles from Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion to Green Wall Immortal City within a day and half of arduous trekking.
On the way, due to their cultivation at the Qi-refining late stage, they did not encounter any dangerous situations.
Generally speaking.
A Qi-refining late stage cultivator can move unhindered within Green Wall Immortal City. Basically, no one would dare to provoke them.
But with He Song and Wei Fan, two Qi-refining late stage cultivators traveling together, they were even less likely to encounter any danger.
Strength and cultivation are the pass for everywhere.
If a Qi Refining Early Stage or Qi-refining mid stage cultivator roamed outside, the scene would likely be quite different.
In the Cultivation World, many cultivators could turn into Evil Cultivators at any moment..
