Chapter 276: Chapter 268: 3 Years Later

The speed at which an elixir refinement master earns spirit stones.
As per He Song’s estimation, it probably wouldn’t be less than the earnings brought to himself by the Array Skills.
Elixir Tao.
These are also major sources of spirit stone income.
Granted, it’s incredibly difficult to get into, and if one expects any remarkable success, it requires a substantial investment.
Yet, if one truly begins earning spirit stones, the terrifying amount of profit is known to all.
With such a frightening rate of earning spirit stones, He Song’s cultivation resources would naturally be guaranteed after becoming a Master of Elixir Refining.
There may be some rare resources that cannot be exchanged for spirit stones.
However, those resources that can be exchanged for spirit stones, He Song would certainly never be lacking in them anymore.
And this.
This is why the advancement of elixir refiners is generally faster than that of ordinary cultivators.
Of course, a rapid advancement of an elixir refiner’s cultivation does not necessarily mean strong combat power.
The most powerful aspect of an elixir refiner remains their status as an elixir refiner.
With this status, the safety of an elixir refiner is naturally far higher than that of an ordinary cultivator.
However, He Song would not disclose his status as an elixir refiner to anyone, even when selling elixirs, he would go disguised to other places to sell.
He won’t give others a chance to doubt him, nor would he reveal to others that he is an elixir refiner.
Thus, time flies, and it has been a full three years.
Today, three years later.
He Song’s refinement of the Earth Spirit Elixir is not yet proficient, but out of ten attempts, two to three are successful.
Such a success rate is getting closer to proficient refinement of the Earth Spirit Elixir.
Well, after refining continuously for three years, He Song’s consumption of spirit medicine was quite severe.
Now, after a continuous depletion over three years, He Song’s supply of Earth Spirit Ginseng and some auxiliary medicine used to refine Earth Spirit Elixir, is getting meager.
He Song is even considering leaving Heaven Power Immortal City to sell some elixirs in other Immortal cities and buy some more Earth Spirit Ginseng and auxiliary medicinal supplies.
Otherwise, if he waits for a while longer, the spirit medicine available to He Song will be completely depleted.
Although he still has other spirit medicines, according to He Song’s idea.
He needs to become proficient at refining Earth Spirit Elixir before trying to refine other Foundation Establishment spirit elixirs.
As for the reason, it’s quite simple.
Trying to refine other Foundation Establishment spirit elixirs before getting familiar with the Earth Spirit Elixir would naturally result in low success rate.
He Song does not want to repeat the past situation where he could not achieve success even after dozens of attempts.
Moreover, trying to refine other Foundation Establishment spirit elixirs after becoming proficient in Earth Spirit Elixir.
With his proficiency in refining Earth Spirit Elixir and the income from spirit stones, He Song’s mindset would naturally be different.
If he faces setbacks, he could simply refine a batch of Earth Spirit Elixirs to boost his confidence.
In that case, the growth of Elixir Refinement Skill can be even faster; it’s just perfect.
More so.
During these three years, besides devoting a lot of effort into the Elixir Refinement Skill, He Song has not slowed down in improving his own cultivation.
In fact, because he has begun attempting to refine Foundation Establishment spirit elixirs, the spirit stones that He Song spends on improving his cultivation are even more than before.
Operating spirit fire every day to burn the elixir furnace, using divine sense to add spirit medicine, and so on and so forth.
All these things are expenditures for He Song.
And after completing these tasks, his body’s mana and spirit will inevitably be depleted.
In that case, He Song has increased the number of elixirs he takes to quickly replenish his mana and spirit, thereby allowing his own cultivation to increase faster.
Now, after three years of cultivation, the mana in He Song’s body has seen a significant improvement.
His power is superior compared to three years ago.
Although the increase in power is not as great as the last seclusive cultivation, it is still a substantial advancement for He Song.
According to He Song’s estimation, he has already covered at least half, if not more, of the path to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage.
At his current rate of cultivation, in about ten more years, he should be able to advance his cultivation to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage.
Keep in mind.
He has already spent thirteen years in the Heaven Power Immortal City.
However, it has only been seventeen years since he advanced to the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment.
Add the seventeen years to the aforementioned ten plus years, and it totals to just around thirty years.
This is He Song’s estimated time.
However, He Song’s estimated time for advancing to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage should not deviate too much from this time frame.
At most, at most, it would just be a little over thirty years.
A little over thirty years to break through from Mid-stage Foundation Establishment to Late Foundation Establishment Stage.
This seems like a long time.
But actually, to progress from Mid-stage Foundation Establishment to Late Foundation Establishment Stage, an ordinary cultivator would probably need about forty years.
And what about He Song? He needs at most, at most, just over thirty years. If he encounters other opportunities, it could be just around thirty years.
Under this condition, the speed of He Song’s cultivation advancement is already extraordinarily terrifying compared to others.
This rate of cultivation advancement is inseparable from He Song’s purchase of various resources that can help his cultivation progress faster without considering the cost.
Gathering Spirit Array.
Foundation Establishment Elixirs.
Foundation Establishment Spirit Tea.
Foundation Establishment Spirit Rice.
As well as other resources that could rapidly increase the power of a Foundation Establishment Master.
All these together allowed He Song to have such a rapid cultivation speed.
However, while He Song was engrossed in elixir refining and cultivation.
An event occurred that forced him to halt his activities.
One day.
He Song was refining the Earth Spirit Elixir in the furnace.
As a flash of light soared from the Sunflame Furnace, several elixirs fell in front of He Song. A flash of satisfaction crossed his face before disappearing almost immediately.
He succeeded in refining elixir again!
Adding this time, he had succeeded in refining elixir twice in a row, feeling an
improvement in his Elixir Refinement Skill.
He stored several Earth Spirit Elixirs in front of him into the jade bottle and put it in the storage bag.
He Song was about to get up and go to the meditation room to cultivate.
Yet, he saw the Sound Transmission Amulet hanging at his waist suddenly started to flash.
Upon seeing this, He Song opened the Transmission Amulet and took out a thin piece of paper from it.
“Dear friend, how have you been? I have recently broken through to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage. My cultivation has consolidated, and I am inviting you to our reunion.”
“Meng Guan. ”
His gaze swept over the line of writing on the paper, lingering on the name Meng Guan.
Then, he stored the thin piece of paper into the storage bag with a flash of surprise in his eyes.
Meng Guan had made a breakthrough and reached the Late Foundation Establishment Stage.
In the past, he was thinking that it would take him over a decade to breakthrough to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage.
Unexpectedly, Meng Guan reached the Late Foundation Establishment Stage so quickly.
The speed of cultivation elevation…
It doesn’t seem to be that fast either.
Recalling the time when Meng Guan and Wei Fan established their foundation, He Song quickly came to a conclusion after briefly calculating in his mind.
Among the three people, Meng Guan was the first to establish the foundation. Seven years after Meng Guan had established his foundation, Wei Fan did the same.
Nine years after Wei Fan had established his foundation, it was He Song’s turn.
Which meant, sixteen years after Meng Guan had established his foundation, He Song successfully established his own, and became a Master.
Upon thinking of this, a look of realization flashed across He Song’s eyes.
Meng Guan had established his foundation much earlier than he did, so it was quite normal for him to have reached the Late Foundation Establishment Stage.
Besides, Meng Guan’s cultivation speed was incredibly fast from the Early to Mid-stage Foundation Establishment.
At that time, during the war between the Thick Earth Sect and the Seven Star Sect, Meng Guan’s breakthrough speed was simply astonishing.
In just over two decades, he went from the Early to Mid-stage Foundation Establishment.
Much similar to He Song’s all-out cultivation.
Considering the time, it must have taken at least thirty-five years for Meng Guan to break through from the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment to the
Late-stage.
In this calculation.
To break through from the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment to Late-stage in at least thirty-five years does not actually count as fast.
Even it could be said that, apart from Meng Guan’s progression from the Early to Mid-stage Foundation Establishment stages during the war, which was a mystery.
HIS cultivation speed during the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment no longer seemed as terrifying as before.
Over thirty-five years, this timeframe is neither fast nor slow.
Superior to some, inferior to others.
It is a cultivation breakthrough speed that most people would accept.
As thoughts flashed in his mind, He Song sighed internally. After sensing the surging mana within his body, He Song exhaled.
“This cultivation speed is still too slow.”
“Old Meng has now broken through to the Late Foundation Establishment
Stage, while my cultivation is still stuck at the Mid-stage Foundation
Establishment.”
“Alas, it seems I still need to speed up the pace of cultivation progress.”
“But, now that I’m coming out of my seclusion, it’s time to sell these Earth Spirit Elixirs I’ve refined in other Immortal Cities.”
“Also, I need to go to other Immortal Cities to buy some Earth Spirit Ginseng and other auxiliary medicines.”
“Otherwise, I will be short on spirit medicine for my forthcoming elixir refining.”
Coming out of the Elixir Refinement Room, He Song had these thoughts crossing his mind and looked towards the sky in the direction of Meng Guan’s mansion.
Although he already knew that Meng Guan’s cultivation progress had slowed down, and was no longer as terrifying as during the war era.
But He Song was still not satisfied with his own cultivation progress.
However, He Song also knew that his cultivation progress was already very fast.
Even he could hide his progress long after his breakthrough without people thinking his cultivation progress was too slow.
Under such circumstances, if someone else were to hear him, they would surely roll their eyes.
At the same time, three years have passed and the supply of Earth Spirit Ginseng and other auxiliary medicines on He Song are almost depleted, requiring him to go out and make new purchases.
These things must be done.
As for now.
He should first go to where Meng Guan is, visit him and offer his congratulations.
His good friend’s cultivation breakthrough meant he was within reach of achieving the Golden Elixir.
And since he invited He Song, naturally he would go to pay him a visit..
