Chapter 228: Digging Deep

But He Song thought about it, and then relaxed.

He had established five medicinal gardens, and a spirit field of ten mu, hundreds of miles away from Hundred Herb Immortal Market.

These five medicinal gardens, plus the spirit field, were all protected by the Mist Veil Formation.

With the Mist Veil Formation's cover, even if He Song hadn't created a concealed cave dwelling nearby, he could still go to the medicinal gardens or the spirit field to hide.

This way.

He could save himself some trouble.

He could use the medicinal gardens and spirit field as his concealed cave dwellings.

Afterward, He Song only needed to send some necessary supplies to the medicinal gardens and spirit field, and he could use them as concealed cave dwellings.

It was the best of both worlds.

With this thought, He Song's worries vanished.

He scanned his surroundings, constantly memorizing the mountain ranges, rivers, and lakes.

He imprinted this environment in his mind.

So that in the future, if he really needed to flee, he would be more familiar with the surroundings.

Constantly surveying and memorizing the environment, He Song, transformed into a water-blue beam of light, quickly disappeared into the distant sky without attracting anyone's attention.

For several days.

He Song traveled west, continuously heading towards the direction of Pure Yin Sect.

At the same time, he also constantly memorized everything he had seen on his way here.

Until today, several days later.

The water-blue beam of light that He Song had transformed into dissipated near a boundary marker, and He Song's figure also appeared beside the boundary marker after the beam of light dissipated.

This boundary marker was made from spirit ore.

Although not of high value, it was extremely sturdy and contained spiritual energy.

One side was inscribed with Earth Sect.

The other side was inscribed with Pure Yin Sect.

If He Song wasn't mistaken, this was the border between the two sects.

Arriving here.

Meant that He Song was about to leave the Earth Sect's sphere of influence and enter the Pure Yin Sect's sphere of influence.

He glanced at the boundary marker.

He then looked at a huge mortal city in the distance, and with a thought, his cultivation fluctuation instantly changed from mid-Foundation Establishment to early-Foundation Establishment.

After concealing his cultivation to early-Foundation Establishment.

He Song pondered for a moment, and then transformed into a water-blue beam of light again, soaring into the sky and flying towards the Pure Yin Sect's sphere of influence.

This journey.

Took several days.

During these days, He Song continuously scanned the ground below from high above.

Finally, today, he found a place that could be used to create a concealed cave dwelling.

This place was far from any immortal markets or immortal cities.

Very few cultivators passed by.

Starting from the various immortal cities in the surrounding area, neither the paths that Qi Condensation stage cultivators needed to take.

Nor the flight paths of Foundation Establishment stage cultivators in the sky, had anything to do with this place.

This way.

Naturally, very few cultivators would come here.

And this happened to meet the conditions He Song needed to establish a concealed cave dwelling here.

Since it was a concealed cave dwelling.

When He Song wasn't residing there, the cave dwelling would definitely not be covered by a formation.

Opening the Mist Veil Formation cost five hundred spirit stones a year, and He Song was currently short on funds, so he naturally couldn't spend spirit stones on this.

The primary conditions for creating a concealed cave dwelling.

Were remoteness and concealment.

There would be no sudden visits from cultivators, and no accidental discoveries by mortals.

Other than that, there were no other requirements.

When He Song really needed to use this cave dwelling, he would naturally have everything prepared.

Whether it was formations, daily necessities, or even cultivation essentials.

He Song would bring them himself.

Therefore.

He Song didn't need to find any blessed paradise to create his concealed cave dwelling.

Remoteness and concealment were enough.

Now, He Song had found the first place that could be used to create a concealed cave dwelling.

Naturally, after observing for a long time and feeling that it was feasible, he quickly found a stone mountain and used his magical power to forcefully create a passage in the solid mountain body.

He used his magical power to hollow out the stone, and then put the stone into his storage pouch.

He repeated this process, moving forward.

When he had dug to the heart of the mountain, and was surrounded by stone on all sides, He Song turned downwards.

He began to use his magical power to cut, creating a passage in the stone beneath his feet.

The passage went straight down, and constantly extended downwards.

Deeper and deeper.

Deeper and deeper.

Until he was over a thousand meters underground, He Song finally gave up the idea of continuing downwards.

Now, He Song's cultivation was at mid-Foundation Establishment.

When he used the Mountain-Linking Earth Traveling Art, his diving depth was only about two hundred meters.

Standing on flat ground, and constantly probing the soil with his divine sense, the depth his divine sense could explore was only a little over one hundred meters.

But it should be known that He Song's divine sense was half as strong as that of ordinary cultivators.

Under such circumstances, probing underground was still only this deep.

If other ordinary cultivators came, the depth they could probe would probably be even less.

Now.

He had built his concealed cave dwelling over a thousand meters underground, even a Perfected Foundation Establishment cultivator probably wouldn't be able to sense his existence, right?.

If he released the stones he had previously put into his storage pouch and blocked the passage.

Without a target, even a Golden Core True Lord might not know he was here.

This way, the concealment of this hidden cave dwelling went without saying.

After going over a thousand meters underground.

He Song circulated his magical power and began to create the cave dwelling.

Soon.

A cave dwelling with a large internal space and various rooms was quickly created by He Song.

A quiet room, for closed-door cultivation.

A large hall, for daily rest.

A place to practice spells, for daily spell practice.

A talisman-making room, for daily study of spirit talismans.

A tea room, for daily tea drinking.

As for the kitchen and other places that might be needed, He Song also created them.

In addition, because this cave dwelling was buried deep underground, He Song also created many ventilation openings to prevent a lack of air from entering.

As for water.

He Song did not introduce running water.

He was afraid that the cave dwelling he had painstakingly created would be directly flooded.

That wouldn't be fun.

If he really lived here in the future, it wouldn't be too late to introduce running water.

After the cave dwelling was completely created, He Song left a tracking mark in the cave dwelling.

This way, no matter where He Song was, as long as he communicated with this tracking mark, he could find the location of this cave dwelling.

After that, he left many things in the cave dwelling.

Spirit talismans, talisman-making materials.

Spirit rice.

Spirit plant seeds.

Spirit stones.

And so on.

The supplies he had purchased at Hundred Herb Immortal Market for ten thousand spirit stones.

As long as he felt he might be able to use them in the future.

He left a copy in the cave dwelling.

In this way, even if something unexpected happened, he could persist for a period of time with these things.

After doing all this.

He Song sealed the entrance to the cave dwelling with the stone slabs he had previously cut using his magical power, making them fit perfectly.

As for the stone blocks cut during the creation of the cave dwelling, they were kept in his storage pouch, to be destroyed only after he had left this place.

Using the stone slabs, he sealed the entrance to this cave dwelling one by one, and after exiting.

He Song also sealed the outermost part of the entrance with a large stone that was not much different from the surrounding environment.

This way.

Whether it was a cultivator.

Or a mortal.

Even if they stood on top of this concealed cave dwelling that He Song had created, they probably wouldn't think that there was a concealed cave dwelling created by a Foundation Establishment True Person below.

In addition, this place was already sparsely populated, and it was a stone mountain without any value to stay,

Therefore, neither cultivators nor mortals would stay here.

This way.

The concealed cave dwelling that He Song created here naturally became extremely safe.

After doing all this, he turned into a water-blue beam of light and patrolled the surroundings, making sure that he had not made any mistakes.

Only then did He Song soar into the sky, turning into a beam of light and heading towards the distance.

This place.

Was the first concealed cave dwelling that He Song built.

If something big really happened in the future, he could stay here for a long time, and when he felt it was about time, he could come out of the cave dwelling.

If the big event had not ended after he came out.

Then he could continue to return to the cave dwelling.

If the big event had already ended.

He Song could also come out of the cave dwelling and embark on the immortal path again.

Only.

He didn't know what the outside world would be like by then.

After leaving a concealed cave dwelling within the Pure Yin Sect's sphere of influence and memorizing the surrounding environment, He Song pondered for a moment.

He soon changed direction again, heading south of the Pure Yin Sect.

South of the Pure Yin Sect.

Was the sphere of influence of One Yang Sect.

This was a Nascent Soul Upper Sect, and the area it occupied was far larger than that of Golden Core sects like Earth Sect, Pure Yin Sect, and Golden Sword Sect.

Much larger, much larger.

Under such circumstances.

He Song naturally wouldn't pass up the idea of creating a concealed cave dwelling within the sphere of influence of One Yang Sect.

One Yang Sect was a Nascent Soul Upper Sect.

The level of safety within its sphere of influence was naturally incomparable to that of Golden Core sects like Earth Sect.

The safety of creating a cave dwelling within the sphere of influence of One Yang Sect naturally went without saying.

Only, he didn't have a map of One Yang Sect's sphere of influence, and he didn't know where the various immortal cities and immortal markets within One Yang Sect's sphere of influence were located.

This way, he naturally had no way of knowing which places within One Yang Sect's sphere of influence could be used to create concealed cave dwellings.

But this was not difficult for He Song.

According to his idea.

He only needed to leave the sphere of influence of Pure Yin Sect and enter the sphere of influence of One Yang Sect.

He could then randomly find an immortal city, and within an immortal city under the jurisdiction of One Yang Sect, purchase a map of One Yang Sect.

As long as he bought the map.

The immortal cities and immortal markets within One Yang Sect's sphere of influence would naturally fall into He Song's eyes.

At that time.

As long as He Song personally searched, he should quickly be able to find one, or even several places that could be used to create concealed cave dwellings.

Thinking of this, He Song immediately sped up, and the water-blue beam of light sped across the sky, but it didn't attract too much attention.
