Chapter 266 Caution is the Key to Longevity

Chapter 266 Caution Makes the Ship Sail for Ten Thousand Years

Flying all the way, He Song's journey was considered safe and uneventful.

Soon, the escape light transformed by He Song left the jurisdiction of Jade Balance Immortal City and returned to the jurisdiction of Heavenly Pivot Immortal City.

However, even after returning to the jurisdiction of Heavenly Pivot Immortal City, and arriving at his own territory, He Song still appeared as cautious as before.

Although this place was the hinterland of the Earth Sect, one should always be prepared for the unexpected.

It was better to be cautious.

Moreover, He Song was constantly adjusting his flight direction as he flew forward.

This time on his return journey, he did not intend to return directly to Heavenly Pivot Immortal City, but wanted to go to Linked Mountain Immortal City.

Linked Mountain Immortal City bordered Heavenly Pivot Immortal City.

It was neither too far nor too close to Heavenly Pivot Immortal City.

And it was also located in the hinterland of the Earth Sect, ensuring safety.

He Song had just harvested a large number of spirit herbs, and these spirit herbs were the main ingredients for refining various pills.

However, refining pills required more than just the main ingredients.

Auxiliary materials were also needed to refine pills.

Under such circumstances, He Song naturally needed to go to other places to purchase auxiliary materials for refining various pills.

Only by gathering all the main and auxiliary materials could He Song start refining pills and attempt to refine Foundation Establishment Spirit Pills.

However, if he directly purchased auxiliary materials in Heavenly Pivot Immortal City, it would likely arouse suspicion.

Therefore, He Song had no choice but to resort to this inferior strategy, going to Linked Mountain Immortal City to purchase auxiliary materials after harvesting the spirit herbs, and then returning to Heavenly Pivot Immortal City.

In this way, except for the time spent in the area under the jurisdiction of Jade Balance Immortal City when he went to harvest spirit herbs.

He Song spent the rest of his time in the hinterland of the Earth Sect, and his safety was naturally guaranteed.

This was the safest path, and also the most secure path.

Although the journey was longer, He Song did not care too much.

Traveling forward.

He Song quickly passed through the jurisdiction of Heavenly Pivot Immortal City and entered the jurisdiction of Linked Mountain Immortal City.

Dozens of miles outside Linked Mountain Immortal City.

A water-blue escape light descended from the sky and quickly landed in a valley.

After confirming in the valley dozens of miles away from Linked Mountain Immortal City that there were no abnormalities in Linked Mountain Immortal City.

He Song put on a black robe, changed his appearance and figure.

And suppressed his aura to the late Qi Condensation Stage.

Only then did he leisurely walk out of the valley and head towards Linked Mountain Immortal City dozens of miles away.

Soon.

He Song entered the city.

Purchasing auxiliary materials did not cost too many spirit stones.

Even though He Song needed to refine a relatively large and diverse number of pills.

However, after He Song bought one type of auxiliary material each time, he would go to an inn, change his appearance, and then set off again to purchase more.

Therefore, as He Song continuously purchased various auxiliary materials and shuttled back and forth among various shops, no one noticed him.

Perhaps someone did notice him.

However, He Song was very cautious. Every time he bought one type of auxiliary material, he would change his appearance and shake off anyone who might be watching him.

In this way, by the time He Song had changed his appearance several times and bought all the auxiliary materials he needed, he had not found anyone watching him.

But even so.

After purchasing the last type of auxiliary material, He Song still entered an inn, changed his appearance, and then walked out.

It was not that he was afraid of those Qi Condensation Stage cultivators who were watching him.

It was just that he was naturally cautious, and had developed this habit from a very, very early age.

Therefore, even though his cultivation level had now reached the Mid-Foundation Establishment Stage.

And he could easily take the lives of some Qi Condensation Stage cultivators, He Song was not arrogant or conceited.

Caution makes the ship sail for ten thousand years.

What if there was a Foundation Establishment family standing behind those Qi Condensation Stage cultivators?

What if after beating the small ones, the big ones came?

What if

With such thoughts, He Song was naturally cautious and careful when he went out.

After changing his appearance.

He Song left Linked Mountain Immortal City.

After leaving Linked Mountain Immortal City for dozens of miles, He Song restored his cultivation aura to the Mid-Foundation Establishment Stage, transformed into a water-blue escape light, and headed towards Heavenly Pivot Immortal City.

Soon, outside Heavenly Pivot Immortal City, an escape light descended from the sky and went straight into He Song's mansion.

When the escape light dissipated, He Song's figure also appeared.

It was not until he returned to Heavenly Pivot Immortal City and landed in his mansion.

That He Song breathed a sigh of relief, and a stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

Fortunately.

This time when he left Heavenly Pivot Immortal City, he did not encounter any crises, and no minor incidents occurred.

Moreover, he also harvested the spirit herbs he had planted ten years ago.

And purchased many auxiliary materials for refining pills.

In this way, He Song's goals for leaving Heavenly Pivot Immortal City this time were all achieved.

Next.

It was also time to start trying to refine Foundation Establishment Spirit Pills and allow his alchemy skills to advance by leaps and bounds.

Such thoughts flashed through his mind, and He Song quickly stepped into his alchemy room.

Inside the alchemy room.

A high-grade artifact alchemy furnace was quietly placed there.

This high-grade artifact alchemy furnace was purchased by He Song several years ago when he tried to refine his first furnace of Foundation Establishment Spirit Pills.

Its name was Fiery Sun Furnace.

It was entirely cast from Fiery Flame Copper, had excellent thermal conductivity, and also had many other wonderful uses.

This Fiery Sun Furnace cost He Song tens of thousands of spirit stones, which was very precious.

At that time, He Song, in order to try to refine Foundation Establishment Spirit Pills, was not stingy at all with the various things needed for alchemy.

The high-grade artifact alchemy furnace needed for refining Foundation Establishment Spirit Pills.

Various spirit herbs and auxiliary materials needed for refining Foundation Establishment Spirit Pills, and so on.

The environment needed for refining Foundation Establishment Spirit Pills.

And all the other things needed for refining Foundation Establishment Spirit Pills were all prepared by He Song.

This alchemy room he was currently in was specially built by him for refining Foundation Establishment Spirit Pills.

However, at that time, He Song's alchemy skills were not as profound as they were now.

The alchemy room he built naturally lost its great use after that failed attempt to refine Foundation Establishment Spirit Pills.

Usually when refining pills, he did not need those things specially arranged for refining Foundation Establishment Spirit Pills.

It could be said that among the things in this alchemy room, if they were not used to refine Foundation Establishment Spirit Pills, a large part of them would not need to be used.

Only when trying to refine Foundation Establishment Spirit Pills did this alchemy room truly have its use.

Just like now.

Stepping into the alchemy room, He Song waved his hand, and several jade boxes immediately appeared in front of him.

Trying to refine Foundation Establishment Spirit Pills naturally started from the simplest ones.

Earth Spirit Pill.

It was refined using Earth Spirit Ginseng as the main ingredient, supplemented by many other spirit herbs.

It could increase the cultivation level of Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators.

Among them, the higher the affinity for the earth attribute, the more magical power would be increased after taking it.

He Song possessed four spiritual roots of metal, wood, fire, and earth, and his affinity for the earth attribute spiritual root was also the best.

Therefore, after He Song established his foundation, the pills he mainly took were Earth Spirit Pills.

As for those cultivators with higher affinity for other spiritual roots, the pills they took were naturally another kind.

It was just that they did not have He Song's means to become an alchemist, and now they were already preparing to try refining Earth Spirit Pills.

As a pill for Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators to improve their cultivation level, the difficulty of refining Earth Spirit Pills was relatively low among Foundation Establishment Spirit Pills.

He Song had painstakingly studied Introduction to Formation Dao, and also had some understanding of the difficulty of refining various pills.

Naturally, after learning that the difficulty of refining Earth Spirit Pills was relatively low, and that he already possessed its alchemy recipes.

Choosing Earth Spirit Pills as a breakthrough point was naturally a logical choice.

Sitting upright in the alchemy room.

He Song looked focused.

But in his mind, the various precautions for refining Earth Spirit Pills kept flashing.

At the same time, the spirit herbs needed for refining Earth Spirit Pills were also selected by He Song one by one and placed in the place most easily accessible to him.

After doing all this, He Song looked at the high-grade artifact alchemy furnace in front of him.

A flash of brilliance flashed in his eyes.

Next.

It was time to try refining Earth Spirit Pills.

Hope for success!

After cheering himself up in his heart, He Song waved his hand.

A spirit fire suddenly ignited below the Fiery Sun Furnace, quickly making the surrounding air scorching hot.

At the same time, a scorching aura also flowed on the Fiery Sun Furnace, quickly burning the entire alchemy furnace to a fiery red.

It even illuminated the entire alchemy room as if it were on fire.

However, after seeing this scene, He Song's face did not show a trace of surprise, on the contrary, he was very calm.

The reason why the Fiery Sun Furnace was called the Fiery Sun Furnace was because it would turn red all over once it was heated, like a fiery sun.

However, such discoloration was not because the melting point of its casting material was too low, but only because of the special nature of its material.

The Fiery Flame Copper used to cast the Fiery Sun Furnace was originally like this.

Moreover, its color change would not reduce the quality of the pills.

On the contrary, it would slightly increase the chances of forming pills.

Only when it looked like it was fiery red all over now was it when the Fiery Sun Furnace truly exerted its effect.

The Fiery Sun Furnace had begun to exert its effect, He Song waved his hand, and the jade boxes on the side suddenly moved without wind, quietly opening.

One kind of medicinal material after another, under He Song's Divine Sense manipulation, also fell into the Fiery Sun Furnace at the appropriate time, just like swallows returning to their nests.

As a medicinal fragrance spread, He Song's expression remained unchanged, but a trace of solemnity had already appeared in his eyes.

The spirit herbs had been added.

Next, it was to burn away the impurities inside, and when their medicinal effects were at their most intense, to fuse the pure medicinal liquids together.

After the medicinal liquids were truly fused together, and produced an effect greater than the sum of their parts, greatly increasing their medicinal effects, then supplemented with pill-condensing techniques.

When the pills condensed into pills within the furnace and broke out of the air, it was the time of pill formation.

However, the real difficulty of alchemy was also here.

The previous steps of burning away impurities and finding the most intense moment of medicinal effects were actually not difficult.

What was difficult was to fuse the medicinal liquids and stimulate the best medicinal power, making its medicinal effect greatly increased.

This kind of thing required the alchemist to have sufficient care, observation, and various other qualities.

Only in this way could they seize the opportunity in this fleeting moment and perfectly refine a furnace of pills.

If one did not go through a very long period of practice, it was feared that the success rate would be appalling.
