Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

However, before that,

He Song still needed to find himself a suitable secluded cultivation place.

Only in this way could he cultivate with peace of mind.

Besides, when He Song left the Zichuan Prefecture Government, he had already acquired a complete set of materials needed for refining the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman.

Gathering materials for refining Talismanic Treasures was indeed no easy task.

Therefore, He Song also considered whether he should refine the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman before attempting the breakthrough in his cultivation.

But after pondering, He Song decided to give up this idea.

The matter of refining Talismanic Treasures

required long-term planning.

Especially when He Song was on the verge of a breakthrough in his cultivation, it was all the more true.

When refining Talismanic Treasures, one’s own cultivation level is actually closely related to the power of the Talismanic Treasure.

For instance, He Song’s cultivation is currently at the Golden Elixir Early Stage.

If he were to start refining Talismanic Treasures now, once the treasure was successfully refined, the power it contained would naturally only be comparable to a full-force attack from an Early Jindan Stage cultivator.

This was determined by the cultivation level He Song had while refining the Talismanic Treasure.

After all, an Early Jindan Stage cultivator could not possibly possess the offensive power of a Middle Jindan Stage cultivator while refining a talisman, could he?

The gap between the Middle Stage and Early Stage of Golden Elixir is actually quite large.

Even as powerful as Meng Guan or the true disciple of the God Locking Sect, Tian Jue True Monarch, would probably find it difficult to achieve this.

But if He Song were to wait until his cultivation successfully broke through to the Middle Jindan Stage before starting to refine Talismanic Treasures,

once the treasure was successfully refined, the power it contained would naturally be comparable to a full-force attack from a Middle Jindan Stage cultivator.

Given He Song’s cultivation at the Middle Jindan Stage at that time, having such power would be quite normal.

Therefore, the difference in power between a Talismanic Treasure refined at the Early Stage and Middle Stage of the Golden Elixir would naturally be substantial.

Of course,

this difference is not insurmountable.

A Talismanic Treasure, after all, is just an object.

By adding enough precious materials to an already formed Talismanic Treasure, more mana can be infused into it.

Even if the power of a Talismanic Treasure was at the level of the Early Golden Elixir Stage when it was first refined,

if precious materials are added subsequently, and a vast amount of mana is infused, its power can also increase as the cultivator’s cultivation level rises.

But that would be too troublesome, and it would consume too many spirit stones.

The precious materials added to the Talismanic Treasure all require spending a lot of spirit stones to purchase.

Also, adding those precious materials to the Talismanic Treasure requires sufficient skill.

If one doesn’t have great confidence in themselves, Ordinary Cultivators would generally seek the help of artifact refining masters and have someone else do the work.

Thus, the level of complication and the resources consumed would naturally be enormous.

This is also why He Song did not want to refine the Talismanic Treasure first and then enhance it with precious materials afterward.

It’s too much trouble.

And it wastes spirit stones.

Since he was already close to the bottleneck of the Middle Golden Core Stage,

he could just wait until his cultivation successfully broke through to the Middle Golden Core Stage and then refine the Talismanic Treasure.

By then, the Talismanic Treasure he would have refined would naturally be at the power level of the Middle Golden Core Stage, without the need for additional precious materials to enhance it.

Without these complications, He Song would be able to save himself a lot of hassle.

As he made his way toward the huge cave in the abandoned mine, He Song’s divine sense was constantly scanning the surroundings.

He had just obtained a Great Fortune.

The heaviness of joy in He Song’s heart was naturally very strong at this moment.

Scanning the surroundings with divine sense in search of another opportunity was quite natural.

Unfortunately,

it was either that there were no more Golden Elixir Cave Mansions in the underground currents or that those mansions were too well-hidden for He Song’s divine sense to detect.

Not until He Song left the underground current and returned to the large cave did he fail to find another Golden Elixir Cave Mansion.

Seeing this, He Song withdrew his divine sense, no longer hoping to find another Golden Elixir Cave Mansion.

According to He Song’s previous plan,

after clarifying other exits of this cave and finding himself a retreat, he would also set up Array Skills in this large cave to make it his temporary seclusive cultivation place.

After all, this large cave is spacious enough.

Once the array is established, and a continuous stream of spirit Qi is gathered by the Spirit-Gathering Array, the cave could house a large number of spirit medicines for He Song’s use.

A Golden Spirit Fruit Tree can also be planted in the large cave, allowing it to take root and thrive in this place.

All sorts of structures needed for He Song’s daily cultivation could also be arranged inside.

This large cave is indeed spacious enough.

Besides, this place is located deep within the abandoned mine and is not generally found by anyone under normal circumstances.

If He Song were to set up a few Smoke Arrays at key locations within the abandoned mine,

even if a Golden Elixir Master were to come here in person, He Song would not have to worry about them finding this large cave.

With He Song’s skill in Array Skills, this minor task posed no difficulty to him.
