Chapter 207: Meeting an Old Friend on the Road

He gave Jade a name.

Jade was bewildered, and it was unclear if the name was understood.

He Song didn't pay much attention.

After giving the name, he casually tossed Jade aside, and his gaze turned to the outside of the cave dwelling.

Outside the cave dwelling.

There were still dozens of acres of spirit fields, and some medicinal gardens, waiting for him to harvest.

Over the course of four years, due to the existence of two small Spirit Gathering Formations filled with spirit stones, the concentration of spiritual energy in He Song's cave dwelling was quite high.

It could even be said to be very dense.

Under these conditions, whether it was the spirit fields He Song had cultivated on the flat ground.

Or the medicinal gardens he had cultivated on the small mountain, the spirit rice and spirit medicines growing in them were all nourished by the rich spiritual energy.

Furthermore, He Song hadn't been here for four years to harvest the spirit rice and spirit medicines.

Therefore.

When He Song arrived at the spirit rice fields, ready to harvest the spirit rice that had been growing for four years.

Just as he arrived, He Song noticed something unusual.

These spirit rice plants, which had been growing here for four years without being harvested, seemed different from the spirit rice he had harvested before.

Four years without being harvested.

The spirit rice here had been constantly absorbing the rich spiritual energy.

Under the nourishment of the rich spiritual energy.

The rice grains on the spirit rice had undergone subtle changes.

Their size was larger than that of ordinary spirit rice, and they contained more spiritual energy.

Visually, they looked much better than ordinary spirit rice.

Seeing this scene.

He Song was surprised, but soon, as if he had thought of something, a flash of realization dawned on him.

Spirit rice.

During the Qi Condensation stage, it could increase a cultivator's cultivation speed.

This effect of increasing cultivation speed was most effective during the Qi Condensation stage.

At the Foundation Establishment stage, when He Song ate spirit rice, there was only a slight increase in magical power.

It could be said.

That after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, although He Song still ate spirit rice daily, the effect of spirit rice on his cultivation was much less than it had been during the Qi Condensation stage.

Although there was still some effect.

It was much less than it had been during the Qi Condensation stage.

But even so, in the absence of other substitutes, the vast majority of Foundation Establishment True Persons would continue to consume spirit rice.

Although the increase in cultivation was relatively small, cultivation was something that accumulated bit by bit, and no one would complain about having too much.

This was also the reason why the price of spirit rice remained stable.

A large number of Qi Condensation stage cultivators consumed spirit rice, and many Foundation Establishment stage cultivators also consumed it.

With so many cultivators consuming it.

The cultivation of spirit rice in immortal markets, immortal cities, and mountain gates would naturally not be too low.

It was generally maintained at a level where the output of spirit rice was slightly surplus.

The production of spirit rice required the consumption of spiritual energy, while the total amount of spiritual energy remained basically constant.

If spirit rice were to be produced excessively.

The spiritual energy supplied to the cultivators in the mountain gates, immortal markets, and immortal cities would naturally decrease.

This was why the sects and families that occupied a territory wouldn't excessively produce spirit rice.

Spirit rice.

Enough was enough.

Too much would affect the cultivation of the cultivators.

The losses would outweigh the gains.

However, He Song, being in the Earth Sect, had also heard some rumors.

It was said.

That above ordinary spirit rice.

There was a more precious type of spirit rice that could increase the cultivation speed of Foundation Establishment stage cultivators by a level.

Originally, He Song hadn't paid much attention to this.

Because his cultivation was mainly based on pills, the rich spiritual energy in the small Spirit Gathering Formations, and other auxiliary means that could increase cultivation.

As for spirit rice, it actually only accounted for a small portion.

Until today.

When He Song looked at the spirit rice in front of him, which hadn't been harvested for four years and contained more spiritual energy than ordinary spirit rice, he suddenly realized.

That the rumors he had heard before might not have been rumors.

But actually existed.

Since there were rumors, there must also be a method for cultivating it.

If he were to cultivate spirit fields in the future specifically for growing this type of spirit rice that could speed up the cultivation of Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.

Then, wouldn't he have another way to earn spirit stones that was more efficient than ordinary spirit rice?

With this thought in mind.

After thinking about it, He Song quickly decided that he might need to return to the sect.

He needed to go to the Scripture Pavilion in the sect to see if there was a method for cultivating this type of spirit rice.

Even if he couldn't find it.

He might be able to find some methods for cultivating other spirit plants.

With methods for cultivating other spirit plants, he might be able to rely on cultivating other spirit plants and spirit medicines to obtain spirit stones.

Instead of having to go through the trouble of selling spirit rice in various immortal markets after each harvest, as he had done in the past.

After thinking about this, He Song quickly harvested the spirit rice in front of him, which was already very different from ordinary spirit rice, and put all of this spirit rice into his storage pouch.

After harvesting the spirit rice.

He Song went to the small mountain and harvested all the spirit medicines planted in the medicinal gardens on the mountain.

After doing these two things.

He Song looked around again and quickly began to work on the spirit fields and medicinal gardens he had once cultivated.

Since this cave dwelling was going to be abandoned.

Before removing the formation, this place also needed to be restored to its original state.

The hands-on ability of a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator was extremely strong.

By manipulating magical power, they could quickly cover a large area around them.

Therefore.

He Song was also very fast in dealing with the various traces within the Mist Veil Formation.

In a short period of time, He Song dealt with dozens of acres of spirit fields and several medicinal gardens.

He even completely blocked off the cave dwelling he had created for closed-door cultivation.

After doing all of this.

He Song didn't remove the Mist Veil Formation, he only removed the two small Spirit Gathering Formations in the cave dwelling.

He still had other things to do on this trip.

After finishing the other things, he would come back to take Jade away.

It would be too conspicuous to remove the Mist Veil Formation here in advance and carry Jade around.

After erasing all traces of the various spirit fields, medicinal gardens, and formations within the Mist Veil Formation.

He Song casually threw Jade to the riverbank.

He quickly sank into the ground again, heading towards Green Wall Immortal City, which was not far from here.

Green Wall Immortal City.

Was the nearest immortal city.

He needed to go there to buy some things necessary for refining puppets.

Dozens of miles outside Green Wall Immortal City.

He Song's figure emerged from the ground.

Looking in the direction of Green Wall Immortal City, and finding no unusual events, He Song activated the Breath Concealment Technique, controlling his aura at the ninth level of Qi Condensation.

Then he activated the Mountain-Linking Wind Riding Art, and his whole body shot out, flying towards the direction of Green Wall Immortal City.

Once again arriving at Green Wall Immortal City.

As soon as He Song stepped inside, a hint of vicissitude flashed in his eyes.

He remembered that in the past.

His foundation was still in Bamboo Mountain Immortal Market, and his cultivation was only at the mid-stage of Qi Condensation, when Wei Fan had wanted to invite him to Green Wall Immortal City to broaden his horizons.

At that time, for his own safety, he had politely declined.

Later, after his cultivation had broken through to the seventh level of Qi Condensation.

And after receiving Meng Guan's summons, he and Wei Fan had come to Green Wall Immortal City from Bamboo Mountain Immortal Market.

That was his first time entering an immortal city.

His impression of Green Wall Immortal City was also extremely deep.

And it was from that time on.

That his.

And Wei Fan's.

Fates had undergone drastic changes.

He Song had originally thought that, like other four-spiritual-root cultivators, he would only have one chance to establish his foundation before the age of sixty.

But unexpectedly, Meng Guan successfully established his foundation and directly brought him and Wei Fan into the Earth Sect, making them disciples of the Earth Sect.

Although He Song would certainly have been able to successfully establish his foundation even without joining the Earth Sect and without Foundation Establishment Pills.

Because he had joined the Earth Sect early and obtained enough Foundation Establishment Pills and foundation establishment experiences.

The time it took him to establish his foundation was much faster than he had originally expected.

Under these circumstances.

The first time he came to Green Wall Immortal City, it really did count as changing his own fate.

But now.

When he stepped into Green Wall Immortal City again.

He found that everything here had changed.

In Green Wall Immortal City, there might be no one who knew him anymore, right?

A hint of vicissitude flashed in his eyes, but He Song's expression remained unchanged as he strode forward.

He needed to find the various precious materials needed for refining puppets.

He thought.

That those materials should all be found in the immortal city.

However, just as He Song was walking forward, preparing to purchase the materials he needed.

His gaze swept around, and He Song's figure suddenly paused.

Not far away.

A young woman stared blankly at He Song, her expression full of astonishment.

Until He Song also saw her, and their eyes met, the young woman's expression changed from astonishment to joy.

"Brother Song?".

As the familiar voice sounded in He Song's ears, the look of daze in He Song's eyes flashed and disappeared.

At this moment.

The young woman in front of He Song seemed to overlap with the figure of a little girl from many years ago.

Then, it changed from the figure of the little girl to the present young woman with bright eyes and white teeth.

"Su Yan?".

He softly called out the name of the young woman in front of him, and at this moment, he also remembered a conversation he had with Su Yan many years ago.

At that time, He Song had learned from Zhao Lin's message that Bamboo Mountain Immortal Market might be attacked.

Zhao Lin had also specifically informed He Song at that time that if he was worried about Su Yan's safety, he needed to prepare early and go to Bamboo Mountain Immortal Market to take Su Yan away.

However, He Song hadn't had such thoughts at that time.

He Song had only notified Su Yan and then put the matter out of his mind.

But unexpectedly.

Su Yan, who had listened to his advice and left Bamboo Mountain Immortal Market, had come to Green Wall Immortal City.

And many years later, today, she had appeared before him.

Looking at Su Yan, whose appearance and aura had not changed at all, only her cultivation had changed from the mid-stage of Qi Condensation to the ninth level of Qi Condensation.

He Song felt as if he had been transported to another world.

The Su Yan in front of him seemed to have turned back into the original little girl.

But soon.

He Song's gaze became calm again.

Although the current Su Yan and the Su Yan of that time were still the same person.

The relationship between the two had gradually changed.

If, before, the relationship between Su Yan and He Song was a very pure neighborly relationship.

Then.
