Chapter 723: Chapter 563: Ten Years Later_2

“Since it is made of several Golden Core Talisman Treasures and strung with warm jade, let’s call it the White Rainbow Jade Bead.”

“This strand of White Rainbow Jade Beads has finally been successfully refined.”

“Next.”

“There’s nothing pressing to attend to, so it might as well be a good time to enter seclusive cultivation until something urgent arises in the outside world, and then break out of seclusion.”

Gathering the White Rainbow Jade Bead into his sleeve, He Song’s gaze swept through his surroundings, and myriad thoughts quickly passed through his mind.

To date, the four Cultivator’s Golden Cores obtained from Meng Guan and Wei Fan, as well as the previous Golden Core from Master Yin Yue, had all been refined by He Song into White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talismans.

With the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talismans now all successfully refined and strung into a bracelet tucked into his sleeve, He Song’s strength soared dramatically.

Following this, there wasn’t anything that required He Song’s immediate attention.

Thus, even though He Song had never truly witnessed the power of the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talismans,

he was eager to see just how formidable the power of these talismans was.

But there was no way to test them out.

After all, once a talismanic treasure like the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman is activated, it can cause destruction on par with the full-strength strike of a Gold Core Middle Stage Cultivator.

Such a huge commotion, not to mention the accidental harm it could inflict on countless living beings,

might also attract the attention of many cultivators.

Furthermore,

indiscriminately activating a Talismanic Treasure would instantly reduce its number of uses by one.

In such a case, He Song naturally felt that it would be a waste,

simply to test its strength and reduce the Talismanic Treasure’s number of activations by one seemed to He Song to be a poor trade-off.

Rather than that, it would be better to wait until he faced a crisis and then, as he had previously thought, instantly activate six talismans.

By doing so, he could fully witness the true might of a Talismanic Treasure.

Even if their power was not as great as he had imagined, with six talismans activated at once, their collective force was unlikely to be weak.

At the very least, it should be sufficient to achieve his prior intent of inflicting a heavy blow on his adversary in an instant.

With this in mind, why bother wasting an activation of the talisman just for the sake of hearing its sound?

Having thought this through, He Song swiftly exited the Amulet Making Room.

However, He Song did not forget about Yu’er.

Instead, he went to the Vast Wave Secret Realm outside his cave mansion to bring Yu’er back with him.

Previously, to guarantee that he would not be disturbed while refining the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman, He Song had straightforwardly dropped Yu’er into the Vast Wave Secret Realm.

Fortunately, Yu’er had already lived there for nearly a year.

Thus, dropping her into the Vast Wave Secret Realm did not subject her to any hardships in the realm.

As a Foundation Establishment Realm spirit beast,

Yu’er’s cultivation level was quite formidable within the expanse of the Vast Wave Secret Realm.

There were few demonic beasts in the Vast Wave Secret Realm that could defeat her.

And even for those that could,

given her turtle-type spirit beast’s defensive capabilities, she had no fear of their attacks.

Under these circumstances, Yu’er thrived in the Vast Wave Secret Realm.

If it weren’t for the fact that turtle-type spirit beasts prefer to stay on land when idle, only going into the water to hunt or when they are in the mood,

Yu’er would probably have lived directly in the Vast Wave Secret Realm and not returned to He Song’s cave mansion at all.

Knowing the extent of Yu’er’s strength, He Song was well aware of this fact.

Now,

with all five White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talismans refined, it was naturally time to bring Yu’er back from the Vast Wave Secret Realm.

Otherwise, Yu’er would just be looking longingly at the nearby cave mansion from outside, unable to enter.

After bringing Yu’er back to the cave mansion, He Song informed her that he was about to enter seclusion and told her to run to the cave mansion if she encountered any danger.

With that said, He Song went straight into the Quiet Room and began his seclusive cultivation.

Gold Core Cultivators.

Seclusive cultivation can take a long time.

A seclusion period can be as short as several years or as long as several decades.

“`

He Song had reached the Golden Core Middle Stage in his cultivation, and naturally, the duration of his seclusive cultivation was the same.

However, for He Song, how long one session of seclusive cultivation would last before he emerged again actually had no fixed number.

Being a loose cultivator, he was not subject to the interference of any sects or families who might impose tasks he had no choice but to undertake.

Thus, once He Song truly began his seclusive cultivation, what awaited him was naturally a nearly endless period of arduous cultivation.

—————–

Time flowed gently.

Years passed by.

In the blink of an eye, He Song had engaged in seclusive cultivation for a full ten years in a temporary cave mansion near Jinsha Immortal Lane.

During these ten years, He Song cultivated daily, and the mana within his body steadily increased.

And as the mana within him grew gradually, He Song’s strength also gained enhancement after enhancement over these ten years.

Previously, He Song had just broken through to the Golden Core Middle Stage.

Now, ten years later, He Song’s cultivation had advanced a significant step within the realm of the Golden Core Middle Stage.

Although it was only a short ten years since He Song had successfully broken through to the Golden Core Middle Stage,

it was in these ten years that his cultivation experienced considerable growth.

Growth in cultivation led to an increase in strength.

At the same time, the increase in strength meant that He Song’s personal safety had a much greater guarantee than before.

Besides the enhancement of his own cultivation and the accompanying rise in strength,

He Song had not fallen behind in other areas of improvement either.

In these ten years,

He Song did not strictly isolate himself without interruption.

Instead, he took time to step outside at regular intervals, to move around.

This behavior was not for any other reason but because He Song now found that he no longer possessed a large quantity of spirit stones.

Ten years earlier, in an exchange with Meng Guan and Wei Fan, He Song had traded away most of his possessions.

Those items were extremely valuable to He Song.

However, being able to use them to exchange for four cultivator Golden Cores from Meng Guan and Wei Fan could still be considered a profitable move for He Song.

Nevertheless,

the items were ultimately given away.

The number of spirit stones and other treasures that He Song possessed had drastically decreased after that one transaction.

Although the depletion of resources didn’t reach a crippling extent, it was still not insignificant for He Song.

Under such circumstances, it was natural for He Song to need to continually earn spirit stones in the days to come, to fill this deficit and quickly increase the number of spirit stones he had.

Fortunately, prior to that exchange, He Song, wanting to ensure he still had enough of a foundation left afterward to rise again another day,

had left some resources in his storage bag to ensure that he could use them to purchase sufficient materials.

With these resources and after obtaining a sufficient number of materials,

He Song was consequently busy using his skills to refine these materials into finished products, which he then sold for a substantial amount of spirit stones.

After exchanging for a large amount of spirit stones, He Song naturally continued to purchase vast quantities of materials and once again refined them into finished products for sale.

With such a cycle,

after ten years, not only had He Song’s various skills become extremely proficient,

even the number of spirit stones and various materials he possessed had largely recovered.

Although, with the quiet passing of a decade, He Song’s wealth had not yet returned to what it was before the exchange with Meng Guan and Wei Fan,

it was already much stronger than that of an ordinary Gold Core Cultivator.

By He Song’s estimation,

he guessed that in another decade, he would be able to completely recover his previous wealth, and his possessions would once again become abundant.

However, it’s worth mentioning that,

although He Song’s wealth had undergone significant changes in these ten years, with not a small amount of spirit stones amassed,

his skills had not improved much because he was constantly finding ways to earn spirit stones, which also required time.
