Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

In the Cultivation World.

In the Thick Earth Sect.

In the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.

No matter in which corner of the Cultivation World, one’s cultivation realm always dictates their worth.

The stronger one’s cultivation, the more resources they can control.

Naturally, the number of spirit stones they can obtain will also increase.

For example, when He Song was at the first-tier Qi Refining stage, his identity as a spiritual plant farmer allowed him to manage only a five-acre spirit field.

The five-acre spirit field brought He Song a meager annual income of 150 spirit stones.

Out of those, 120 spirit stones had to be used to pay rent.

Only the remaining 30 spirit stones were fully at He Song’s disposal.

However…

When He Song’s cultivation reached the Qi-refining mid-stage,

and he truly became a spiritual plant farmer in the Qi-refining mid-stage, the spirit fields he could manage would increase.

By then, the spirit stones He Song could obtain each year would be much more than what he currently receives.

But now is not the time to think about these matters.

Having just broken through to the third-tier Qi Refining stage, He Song felt a considerable distance to break through to the Qi-refining mid-stage.

Getting up from his meditation mat,

He Song happily brewed himself a pot of good tea.

Over a period of five years,

Under the influence of Wei Fan and Meng Guan, He Song’s tea art had improved, and he also began to study tea leaves in depth.

He had a good grasp of which teas were excellent, which teas could only be enjoyed once, and which teas had special effects after five years of exploration.

Nowadays, he occasionally indulged in the habit of tea-drinking.

“At the third-tier Qi Refining stage, although I am still at the bottom of the Cultivation World, I have gained more means compared to the first-tier Qi Refining stage.”

In these five years, He Song had earned a total of 150 spirit stones as a spiritual plant farmer.

Thirty per year, adding up to 150 spirit stones in five years.

Aside from covering his food expenses and occasional visits to Wei Fan and Meng Guan, He Song hadn’t wasted his spirit stones; instead, he had been saving them.

By now, He Song had accumulated over a hundred spirit stones.

Although being a spiritual plant farmer had brought many benefits to He Song earlier,

as an everlasting being, how could he be satisfied with tending fields forever?

Hundred Skills of Cultivation Truth.

Elixir refinement, artifact refinement, amulet making, Array Skills, beast taming…

Which of these was not more attractive than farming?

It was only because his cultivation was too low, and he couldn’t access these things, that He Song had to follow his predecessor’s path of becoming a spiritual plant farmer.

However, He Song would definitely be unwilling to remain a spiritual plant farmer forever.

Which everlasting being would want to farm every day?

Thus, accumulating money to purchase entry-level books on Hundred Skills of Cultivation Truth had become He Song’s deep-rooted desire.

“Since my soul is stronger than other cultivators’ and I can learn skills faster, wouldn’t I be more talented in learning the Hundred Skills of Cultivation Truth than others?”

As he sipped his tea, a thought flashed through He Song’s mind.

An idea to immediately go to the Spirit Skill Pavilion to select books on Hundred Skills of Cultivation Truth rapidly sprouted and took root in his mind at that very moment.

In five years, He Song had saved up a hundred or so spirit stones.

According to his previous understanding, the entry-level books of Hundred Skills of Cultivation Truth mostly cost about a hundred spirit stones each, similar in price to cultivation skills.

Now that he had broken through to the third-tier Qi Refining stage, his life was dull and monotonous—spending his days either tending the spirit fields or meditating and cultivating.

It was indeed quite boring.

It was also time for him to find something to do and learn a new money-making skill!

A determined light flashed across his eyes.

He Song abruptly stood up, put all his spirit stones into his sleeve, and strode out of the room.

Stall Section.

Spirit Skill Pavilion.

Wearing the attire of a spiritual plant farmer, He Song quickly arrived here amidst the awe-filled gazes of other loose cultivators.

After five years, He Song had grown indifferent to the reverential looks from the cultivators around him.

The gap in status between the internal cultivators of Immortal Pavilion and the loose cultivators was as different as heaven and earth within the pavilion.

But if it were in the outside world,

Identity of the internal staff of the Immortal Pavilion could even bring about calamities.

The awe from those loose cultivators was nothing more than respect for the Immortal Pavilion behind He Song.

It had nothing to do with He Song himself.

Entering the Spirit Skill Pavilion,

Before He Song could even raise his head to look around, a familiar voice came to his ears.

“Mr. He, it’s been a while. Ping’er pays her respects. Have you come today to see which skill you fancy?”

Ping’er.

The beautiful female cultivator who had received He Song the first time he came to the Spirit Skill Pavilion.

The memory of cultivators is generally very good—they can recognize people they’ve met once, even if they haven’t seen them for decades, at first glance.

At the same time, if they remember the other person’s aura, they can still recognize them at a glance even if they meet again after hundreds or even thousands of years and the other person’s appearance has changed.

That was why Ping’er still recognized He Song even though he had not set foot in the Spirit Skill Pavilion for five years.

Five years had passed.

He Song’s appearance hadn’t changed.

Ping’er’s appearance hadn’t changed either.

In the Cultivation World, eternal youth is the norm. Most cultivators who are decades or even centuries old still have young faces.

Only oddballs like Meng Guan would prefer to show themselves as old men.

As a result, He Song had never felt anxious about his appearance over the past five years.

“I’ve seen fellow Daoist Ping’er. I came here this time to look at the introductory books on the Hundred Skills of Cultivation Truth.”

With a slight bow to Ping’er, He Song laughed.

He had come for this purpose, and now, facing the guide of the Spirit Skill Pavilion, he naturally had nothing to hide.

However,

Just as He Song’s words fell, Ping’er looked at him with a slight surprise.

But soon after, the surprise in her eyes disappeared.

“Mr. He, please follow me to the VIP room for a chat.” Ping’er said softly, and quickly began to lead the way.

At the same time, Ping’er’s thoughts swirled in her mind.

The Hundred Skills of Cultivation Truth’s introductory books, costing hundreds of spirit stones each, were not something everyone could afford.

Especially for someone like He Song, who had just entered the Immortal Pavilion for only five years and was still at the third-tier Qi Refining stage.

Being able to save up so many spirit stones in five years,

Ping’er suddenly felt a little curious about He Song behind her.

Could it be… this person doesn’t use spirit stones for cultivation?

Or did he just happen to come across a fortune and got some spirit stones?

Spirit stones.action

Not only currency, but also cultivation resources.

Using spirit stones for cultivation can speed up a cultivator’s progress.

That’s why spirit stones become the hard currency in the entire Cultivation World.

At the same time, they are the source of Ping’er’s confusion.

She, like He Song, was part of the internal staff of the Immortal Pavilion. Receiving two spirit stones each month for lodging, she was responsible for entertaining cultivators who came to the Spirit Skill Pavilion to purchase skills.

Every time she received her monthly allowance of spirit stones, she used them for her own cultivation in order to quickly improve her cultivation level in a short amount of time.

As a result, she never had any leftover spirit stones.

When it comes to someone like He Song, who can save up to a hundred spirit stones in five years, it’s inevitable that she would be puzzled.

Would there really be someone who doesn’t use spirit stones to cultivate and quickly improve their realm, instead saving them to buy things?
