Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

16 Chapter 16: Hundred Skills of Cultivation Truth
Translator: 549690339
In Ping’er’s mind, as long as she got the spirit stone, she would definitely think of turning the spirit stone into her own cultivation base as the first thing to do.

In the Qi Refining Early Stage, the speed of cultivation improvement is the most important.

However, she didn’t know.

He Song was completely different from her and other cultivators.

Cultivators struggle with the heavens for life. If they want to live longer, they must convert all things that can be transformed into cultivation into their own cultivation.

If they can’t break through to prolong their life before the end of life comes, they will die.

In this way.

Under the threat of death, the monks basically invest the resources they obtain into improving their own cultivation.

Only by continuously improving their cultivation can they gain more powerful strength and longer life.

This is also the reason why cultivators like to shout things like “my fate is in my own hands, not the heavens,” “acting against the heavens,” and “those who don’t fight in cultivation will die.”

Their lifespan is at stake.

If they don’t fight, they will die.

However.

He Song was different from them.

Already possessing immortality and an endless lifespan, death was no longer his constraint.

Knowing that he already had an endless lifespan, He Song still hoped that his cultivation could grow rapidly.

But in reality, he wasn’t that eager.

He naturally knew that using spirit stones could increase his own cultivation speed.

But knowing was one thing.

Actually doing it was another matter.

Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion was very safe.

There was no large-scale conflict between cultivators in this area under the control of the Thick Earth Sect.

Although it happened that a Foundation Establishment Clan had gone mad when nearby mineral veins were discovered, the dispute quickly subsided after the Thick Earth Sect intervened.

From this, one could see that.

The four Immortal Cities controlled by the Thick Earth Sect, as well as the Immortal Pavilions controlled by these four Immortal Cities, were generally considered relatively safe.

In a relatively safe situation, He Song’s idea of accumulating spirit stones and prioritizing the purchase of introductory books of the Hundred Skills of Cultivation Truth to earn more spirit stones was completely fine.

He Song and Ping’er each looked at the problem from their own perspective.

Neither side was wrong.

But it was difficult for Ping’er to understand He Song’s thoughts at the moment.

Therefore.

After leading He Song into the VIP room and serving him a pot of good tea, Ping’er left with a belly full of doubts to prepare the things He Song needed.

The VIP room was small, but the various furnishings inside were exceptionally exquisite.

He Song could even sense faint fluctuations of spirit Qi from these furnishings.

This meant that the materials used to make these furnishings were all spiritual materials. Although they didn’t seem to be very old, they were still spiritual materials, which were countless times more precious than the mundane wood in the Mortal World.

He Song’s fingers gently stroked the table in front of him, a hint of envy in his eyes.

When could he have furniture made from spiritual materials?

This Spirit Skill Pavilion was really rich.

Picking up the teacup in front of him, he took a gentle sip.

Good tea!

He Song’s eyes lit up.

As soon as he swallowed the tea, it transformed into strands of spirit power that blended into his body, giving his cultivation a slight increase.

If he could drink this kind of tea for years and years, He Song felt that his cultivation rate would be much faster than before.

I wonder what the name of this tea is.

If I have spirit stones in the future, I have to buy some of this tea.

His mind made up.

He Song sipped his tea while waiting for Ping’er to return.

He didn’t have to wait long.

Soon enough.

Ping’er came to He Song’s side, carrying a tray filled with various kinds of books.

She put the tray on the table and casually picked up the closest book to her.

“This is the Elixir Refinement Introduction, which contains the formulas for three elixirs – Inedia Elixir, Qi Nourishing Elixir, and Rising Spirit Elixir – as well as general knowledge about elixir refining.”

“This is the Artifacts Refining Introduction, which contains two artifact refining methods for one attack and one defense, and general knowledge about refining artifacts.”

“This is the Amulet Tao Introduction, which contains the techniques for making Thick Earth Amulet, Golden Sword Amulet, and Divine Movement Amulet, as well as general knowledge about amulet making.”action

“This is the Array Tao Introduction, which contains the layout diagrams for Spirit-Gathering Array, Five Phases Array, and Illusion Array, as well as general knowledge about array tao.”

“This is the Beast Taming Introduction, which contains the methods for attracting, enticing, and taming beasts, as well as the production methods and general knowledge for the materials required to attract and entice demonic beasts.”

“This is…”

Listening to Ping’er’s melodious voice explaining to him, He Song’s eyes swept over one book after another.

The Elixir Refinement Introduction had three elixir formulas. Inedia Elixir had no grade, Qi Nourishing Elixir was for Qi Refining Early Stage cultivators to increase their cultivation, and Rising Spirit Elixir was for helping cultivators break through their bottleneck in Qi-refining mid stage.

However, the amount of resources needed for refining elixirs was just too much.

Elixir furnace, various precious medicinal materials – He Song simply couldn’t afford them, so he ignored it.

He Song also ignored the Artifacts Refining Introduction.

Refining artifacts also required artifact refining furnaces and various precious ores, which He Song still couldn’t afford.

As for the Amulet Tao Introduction, He Song felt that it had some potential.

The Thick Earth Amulet was for protection, the Golden Sword Amulet for offense, and the Divine Movement Amulet for escape. Perfect!

However, the existence of amulet pens, amulet ink, and amulet paper made He Song hesitate.

He couldn’t afford them!

The Array Tao Introduction, He Song considered it.

Not for anything else, but because learning array skills didn’t require spending too many spirit stones.

Setting up arrays required engraving array patterns on spirit stones or other carriers and placing them in specific locations using special techniques to form the array.

Once an array was set up, it only needed to have its spirit stones replaced periodically to keep it running.

Additionally, setting up arrays didn’t require purchasing various expensive materials for learning purposes.

As such, He Song showed interest in the Array Tao Introduction.

Upon hearing what materials were needed for attracting, enticing, and taming beasts in the Beast Taming Introduction, He Song already had his answer.

Luring demonic beasts also required special materials.

Moreover, since beast taming was quite common in the Cultivation World, these special materials were quite expensive.

To complete a beast taming, it was feared that the spirit stones spent could buy a demonic beast token from the Spirit Beast Pavilion.

The Spirit Beast Pavilion was a place that specialized in capturing demonic beasts and selling their tokens.

As long as one held a demonic beast token, the life and death of the demonic beast was at the cultivator’s mercy, without having to worry about resistance.

Without interrupting Ping’er.

He Song continued to listen.

Soon, He Song had a general understanding of the introductions to the Hundred Skills of Cultivation Truth.

After a while.

It wasn’t until the voice in his ear suddenly stopped that He Song looked up at Ping’er, only to see her looking at him with grief. He Song thought for a while, then passed her a cup of tea.

“Ahem, thank you, Daoist Ping’er, for explaining. Have some tea to moisten your throat.”
