Chapter 273 - 273: 265: Huge Harvest
The water-blue tunneling light swiftly crossed a large area, ultimately disappearing in a secluded corner.
This place is a valley.
However, it is not where He Song’s medicine garden is located.
All the way, He Song traveled via the Blood Escape Skill, but didn’t directly land in his herb garden.
Instead, he landed hundreds of miles away and then moved forward through the Earth Tunneling Skill towards the location of his medicine garden.
Through such way,
On one hand, he acted cautiously to prevent being tracked back to his medicine garden.
On the other hand, it provided better concealment and reduced the likelihood of his destination being discovered by others.
Thirdly…
He stayed underground for a while and found no one was following.
Once He Song was sure no one had trailed after him, he resumed the Earth Tunneling toward his medicine garden.
A few hundred miles was not a long distance for He Song, who had already reached the mid-stage Foundation Establishment.
Traveling through the Earth Tunneling Skill, He Song swiftly made his way underground and arrived at the medicine garden.
However, when he arrived at the medicinal field, He Song did not immediately enter it. Instead, he observed the surroundings with caution.
There was no sign of anyone lurking around or watching.
He checked several Array Skills he had deployed. After confirming that no-one had tampered with these protections, He finally relaxed.
Tunneling up through the Smoke Array,
He Song’s figure entered the medicine garden.
Upon entering the medicine garden.
He entered the scope of the Smoke Array.
After observing the surroundings from underground and seeing no abnormalities within the array,
He Song came to the surface.
His nose was instantly filled with rich fragrance.
One look and all the spirit medicines He Song had planted ten years ago were now fully mature.
Even the Spirit Guardian Fruits planted twenty years ago were mature after twenty years of growth.
The Dragon Tooth Spirit Rice in the Spirit Field looked even bigger than ordinary Dragon Tooth Spirit Rice. The spirit Qi it contained was extraordinarily dense.
Seeing the bounty before him, a pleased look flashed across He Song’s face.
It was well worth the effort of setting up array skills and turning this location into a medicine garden and spiritual field.
In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed, and it was harvest time again.
However.
While in the Heaven Power Immortal City, He Song had considered whether to establish another garden and Spirit Field near it.
The garden and Spirit Field are the sources of He Song’s spirit stones and spirit rice.
According to his original plan, He Song wanted to clear this Spirit Field and medicine garden after this harvest.
But while reasoning in Heaven Power Immortal City, He Song thought of a possibility.
There was a high chance that a Golden Elixir Master was overseeing the Heaven Power Immortal City.
If a Golden Elixir Master was overseeing it, it might become clear to him what was happening in the surrounding areas.
In the event that his Spirit Field and medicine garden outside the Heaven Power Immortal City were discovered…
Then, it could turn into a big problem.
If such an incident were to occur, the four Masters in charge of the Heaven Power Immortal City would be immediately suspected.
Being a Master Guardian of Heaven Power Immortal City as well, being doubted was inevitable.
In such a situation, it would be extremely difficult to hide anything from a Golden Elixir Master.
Instead of that.
Risking a discovery by the Golden Elixir Master by opening a new Spirit Field and medicine garden near Heaven Power Immortal City,
He chose to continue growing spirit medicines and spirit rice here, which at least could avoid the potential issue of being targeted by the Golden Elixir Master.
In addition, He Song had been using this herb garden and Spirit Field for twenty years without ever being discovered by anyone.
This proved the security of this place to be fairly strong.
Accordingly, continuing to cultivate spirit medicines and spirit rice here would likely avoid any unexpected occurrences.
If need be, He Song would just be more cautious whenever he came here in the future.
With this thought, He Song pulled out a mana sword from his storage bag, maneuvered it with divine sense, and quickly began harvesting spirit medicines and spirit rice around him.
One by one, the jade boxes were filled and then put into his storage bag by He Song. The boxes piled up in He Song’s storage bag.
Simultaneously, various spirit medicines and spirit rice around He Song were rapidly decreasing.
Shorty after.
The mage sword was put back into his storage bag by He Song.
The last jade box in front of him was gently closed by He Song and placed in his storage bag.
Thus, all the precious medicines in the garden, as well as the Dragon Tooth Spirit Rice that had been growing for ten full years, were all harvested by He Song.
Having done this, He Song made a casual wave.
His aura billowed.
In a blink of an eye, he turned over a large piece of Spirit Field in front of him and repeated the process.
Soon, all the Spirit Fields and medicine gardens had been turned over.
Only then did He Song take out the spirit seeds from his storage bag, and plant all the spirit medicines and spirit rice he had grown before.
After all the seeds were planted, He Song clapped his hands and, contented, moved to one side. From this harvest,
He Song made a big haul.
“Earth Spirit Ginseng is the main medicine for refining Earth Spirit Elixirs.”
“Green Spirit Fruits are one of the major ingredients for refining Detoxification Elixirs.”
“Spirit Guardian Fruits are the main ingredients for making Spirit Guardian Elixirs.”
“The Exorcism Flower is the main ingredient for various healing elixirs.”
“With these ingredients on hand, whether it’s the Earth Spirit Elixir,
Detoxification Elixir, or Spirit Guardian Elixir and various other healing elixirs,
I can attempt to refine them.”
“However, I am unsure whether these spirit medicines are sufficient to improve my Elixir Refinement Skill to the extent where I can refine Foundation Establishment spirit elixirs. ”
At first glance, He Song appeared to have a good amount of spirit medicines.
However, as an elixir refinement master, He Song knew that though he had many spirit medicines, they only came in a few varieties.
Individually, none of these medicine varieties were particularly numerous.
It was only when combined that they seemed plentiful.
In this case, could he rely on these spirit medicines he cultivated to successfully elevate his Elixir Refinement Skill to a level where he could refine Foundation Establishment spirit elixirs?
He Song wasn’t confident about this.
However, after some contemplation, He Song decided to set aside this thought for now.
He would cross that bridge when he came to it.
If these won’t suffice.
If he ran out of spirit stones, then he would wait another ten years to harvest another batch of spirit medicines.
After all, as an everlasting being, what he had in abundance was time.
Even if he had to spend spirit stones and time, his Elixir Refinement Skill would inevitably break through.
Once he managed to refine Foundation Establishment spirit elixirs, he wouldn’t have to worry so much anymore.
Rather than worrying about this issue now, he might as well focus on improving his Elixir Refinement Skill.
As long as his Elixir Refinement Skill could improve further.
With his status as an everlasting being, he could certainly take it to the next level.
With such a thought in mind, He Song swept his gaze around and saw that the spirit seeds had been sown. He quickly took out a large pile of spirit stones.
These spirit stones were to serve as the energy source for the Array Skills here.
Every array, be it a Spirit-Gathering Array, a Smoke Array, a Seven Kills Heaven Fire Array or a Sea-Stablizing and Spirit-Orienting Array, needed a total of five hundred spirit stones annually for maintenance.
Four arrays were set up here, totaling two thousand spirit stones per year.
After ten years, it would be twenty thousand spirit stones.
It also cost He Song to grow spirit medicines and spirit rice.
Just the cost of the spirit stones consumed by the arrays would amount to twenty thousand spirit stones in ten years.
And this did not include the costs of the spirit seeds and so on.
As such, the spirit medicines grown by He Song were indeed valuable.
If someone else were to grow them, they would perhaps have to consider labor cost, land cost, and so forth.
All these costs would naturally be added to the price of the spirit medicines.
If he were to actually purchase these using spirit stones, the amount spent would be staggering, likely causing even He Song to wince. This was why He Song originally chose to cultivate spirit medicines.
They were high in price.
High in demand.
And the cost of his own cultivation was lower.
Therefore, these spirit medicines naturally became He Song’s primary choice for earning spirit stones.
However, after learning the Elixir Refinement Skill, he decided to reserve the spirit medicines he cultivated for his own use in refining elixirs.
After refining them into elixirs and then selling them to the outside world, the profits obtained would be even greater.
After storing the twenty thousand spirit stones into the arrays.
He Song scanned around with his divine sense and nodded in satisfaction.
When he left this place ten years ago, he also stored spirit stones into these Array Skills just like today.
Back then, he directly put in spirit stones that could be used for more than a decade.
Now, ten years have passed, and with the spirit stones He Song stored today, the Array Skills in this place can be maintained for another ten plus years.
This was He Song’s way of preparing for a rainy day, for fear that he might be ensued in matters and couldn’t rush back in time to harvest the spirit medicines, hence he had purposely left some extra spirit stones as an insurance.
As such, even if He Song was delayed and couldn’t come over after ten years.
Even if he waited for a few more years, the spirit medicines here would not be discovered by others.
This way, it would be safer.
After harvesting the spirit medicines and replenishing the spirit stones for the Array Skills here, He Song’s figure once again sunk into the earth.
After quite a while.
Several hundred miles away from the location of He Song’s medicine garden.
He Song silently emerged from the ground.
Subsequently, he turned into a streak of blue tunneling light, flying quickly towards the location of Heaven Power Immortal City.
This time leaving Heaven Power Immortal City.
He Song had no intention of staying outside for long.
The Righteous Alliance and Demonic Alliance are already subtly clashing.
This place falls under the jurisdiction of the Jade Immortal City and located at the frontier.
If he were to stay here, any accident might unleash the spark of war between the two alliances.
If that really happened, even if he doesn’t die, he would likely become infamous.
The consequences of infamy were what He Song was unwilling to bear.
Given the circumstances.
He Song naturally can’t continue to stay here.
Instead, he will immediately leave after the harvest of spirit medicines.
Only this way, could he guarantee his safety and prevent drawing too much attention.
Meanwhile.
As he slowly left this place, He Song was constantly observing his surroundings. If he noticed anyone approaching, he would immediately evade..
