Chapter 724: Chapter 564 Disintegration_1

To continually refine such items as Golden Core Talismans, Golden Elixir Spiritual Elixirs, and Lower-grade Spiritual Tools that could earn a large number of spirit stones…
it would no longer be possible to have time to delve deep into these crafts.
However, the skills used to earn spirit stones had indeed become extremely proficient through He Song’s use.
Compared to before, He Song had gained much more insight into these crafts.
After all, to truly delve into a craft and to understand it sufficiently…
one must utilize the craft to earn a large number of spirit stones, thereby deeply comprehending its intricacies.
Only after using a craft to amass a wealth of resources…
would a cultivator’s understanding of that craft experience an explosive growth.
Such growth…
is far stronger than what one could gain from working in isolation.
The insights attained from hands-on practice are certainly stronger than those from theoretical contemplation.
In this way, one would naturally gain deeper insights into the craft.
The presence of these insights would also allow He Song to have a more profound understanding of the crafts he mastered.
Perhaps, with these additional insights, the future He Song would be able to progress even further down the path of these crafts.
This was an understanding that had never emerged in He Song’s insights during the years he spent in seclusive cultivation studying these crafts.
And He Song…
in these ten years, had naturally gained a much deeper understanding of the three crafts of amulet making, artifacts refinement, and elixir refinement.
Beyond that…
He Song’s gains in amulet making, artifacts refinement, and elixir refinement were quite substantial.
In the past decade, He Song’s harvest was immense.
However, although he had become extremely proficient in the three crafts of amulet making, artifacts refinement, and elixir refinement over these ten years…
the lack of advancement in these crafts did cause He Song a slight sigh.
In the past, He Song would study his mastered crafts during his time in seclusive cultivation.
This was why his skills would see great progress after nearly every period of seclusion.
He Song had indeed spent a considerable amount of time and resources on these crafts.
But now ten years had passed.
He found himself immersed in earning spirit stones, neglecting the study of his crafts.
He Song was somewhat unaccustomed to such a stark contrast.
Yet, upon reflection, He Song felt at ease once more.
Neglecting his crafts was merely a means to ensure his safety.
In these ten years, He Song chose not to continue his deep study of the crafts but instead to accumulate a large number of spirit stones.
His goal, in fact, was to rapidly increase the number of spirit stones in his possession.
Only in this way…
Only if He Song had a sufficient number of spirit stones…
would his own safety be greatly assured.
After all, to He Song, spirit stones were not merely currency; they were also a crucial resource to sustain the operation of various Great Arrays.
Once He Song’s stock of spirit stones diminished…
and they were not quickly replenished…
should He Song encounter any crisis during this time, needing to use Arrays to escape trouble…
I fear that He Song, with hardly any spirit stones left, would face a great crisis.
Powerful though Arrays are, they too require a large number of spirit stones to activate.
Without a wealth of spirit stones, even a Golden Elixir Array would not withstand an enemy’s frenzied assault.
Under such circumstances, He Song’s personal safety would surely be at great risk.
This was why He Song urgently sought to replenish his spirit stones and why, in these ten years, he set aside his study of crafts and instead continually used them to earn a considerable number of spirit stones.
Crafts can be studied later.
After all, as an everlasting being, He Song had a boundless lifespan; there was no need to hurry.
But spirit stones, without them, He Song would indeed not be as safe as before.
Therefore, for his safety, He Song would naturally make the best choice.
That was, while his reserves of spirit stones were not yet abundant, to earn a large number rapidly and fill the gap first.
Once he had a surplus of spirit stones, he could then study crafts and ensure that his skills would continue to bring him great benefits.
In this way, not only could He Song ensure his safety but also guarantee that his skills would continually advance.
Beyond that…
In these ten years, He Song had also heard quite a bit about the outside world.
Whether it be Meng Guan or Wei Fan, or the two Masters, Luo Jing and Yun Jing…
Even True Monarch Youyun from the Hu Prefecture and An Ning, currently presiding in Jinsha Immortal Lane, provided He Song with much news from outside.
In the ten years of He Song’s seclusive cultivation…
The outside world had been relatively peaceful.
At the beginning of He Song’s retreat, the frontline between Sun Faction and God Locking Sect had already advanced to the former location of the Thick Earth Sect.
It’s a pity, though, that there was no longer any presence of Thick Earth Sect there.
The name Thick Earth Sect, although not yet vanished from the annals of history…
According to the news He Song heard…
Master Yan Shan and Master Fa Xuan of Thick Earth Sect had already led the original members to another place to establish a new sect.
