Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation
Chapter 1401 - Chapter 1401 902

Chapter 1401: 902 Chapter 1401: 902 Moreover, he discussed his experiences of breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm, as well as the insights he had gained from Meng Guan.

He then returned to his mansion in Soaring Cloud Capital.

With He Song’s narration,

Master Luo Jing would likely find his future attempts to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm more adept and less likely to be stumped by any difficulties.

Of course, the same was true for Wei Fan.

Having heard the experiences of He Song and Meng Guan when they broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm,

Wei Fan would certainly not be as utterly clueless as other cultivators when he tried to make that breakthrough.

With that thought in mind,

He Song returned to the Soaring Cloud Capital

and quickly entered seclusive cultivation again.

He Song resurfaced from his retreat

solely to attend the ascension ceremony hosted by Meng Guan at the Sun Faction.

Concerning other matters, he considered them just incidental.

Therefore,

once He Song truly returned to Soaring Cloud Capital, he immediately resumed his seclusion, beginning to delve into various skills he had decided on before.

Certainly, among these skills, there were priorities.

Currently, He Song, when fighting other cultivators, had only one Nascent Soul Realm attack skill and two Nascent Soul Realm defense skills.

Moreover, he had finally mastered one of the Nascent Soul defense skills after emerging from seclusion.

For any Nascent Soul cultivator, such a limited repertoire would be somewhat insufficient.

Who, as a Nascent Soul cultivator, only had two or three moves?

In such cases, during a fight,

it would likely be easy for someone to target his weaknesses.

Hence, He Song’s current seclusion was driven by a desire to address these shortcomings.

However, while the tactics used in fighting were crucial,

one could not entirely neglect various other techniques.

Therefore, after choosing one attacking and one defensive Nascent Soul Skill for himself,

He Song also chose a skill in elixir refinement.

These three secret techniques would not only provide He Song with more versatile tactics in future combats

but would also allow him to refine and sell Nascent Soul elixirs after completely mastering the alchemy skill.

Although the current He Song still possessed several million mid-grade spirit stones,

his current earning rate of spirit stones was nowhere near the rate at which he spent them.

He Song’s daily cultivation relied entirely on various treasures that Nascent Soul cultivators used.

Yet, his rate of earning spirit stones remained at the level of the Golden Elixir Realm.

Under such circumstances,

if He Song didn’t think about increasing income and reducing expenses, he might quickly deplete his resources, eventually becoming the poorest Nascent Soul cultivator.

Such a scenario was, naturally, something He Song did not wish to see.

Thus, significantly boosting his rate of earning spirit stones, at least to balance his income and expenditures, became an urgent task for him.

With this thought in mind,

He Song quickly immersed himself in studying these three secret techniques.

Of course, throughout his seclusion, He Song did not forget to control Qing Feng to continuously enhance his strength.

Currently, Qing Feng had not yet reached his ultimate potential.

He still had a top-grade attack spirit artifact that was not yet fully refined.

Moreover, there were some other artefacts that were not yet equipped.

Therefore, the current He Song was not willing to let Qing Feng travel outside.

According to He Song’s thinking,

Qing Feng would need to reach the current limit of his strength before he could venture out,

because only then could He Song truly rest assured, controlling Qing Feng as he moved about outdoors.

By then, whether Wei Fan ventured outside to complete various tasks within the Treasure Pavilion,

or searched for opportunities outside, there was no need to worry too much about his safety.

With this thought in mind,

He Song quickly immersed himself in seclusive cultivation.

During this time, both his and Qing Feng’s strengths grew swiftly.

As such,

ten years later, Qing Feng finally fully refined the top-grade attack spirit artifact that He Song had selected for him.

And under He Song’s arrangement, he fully equipped himself with many life-saving items that He Song could obtain and a great deal of other items that could increase his combat power.

By this time,

it was naturally time for Qing Feng to leave He Song’s location, leave the Soaring Cloud Capital, and venture out to earn spirit stones for He Song.

Holding this thought,

He Song soon started inspecting the various tasks available around the Soaring Cloud Capital through his Guest Elder Token.

Of course, He Song didn’t choose tasks based on Qing Feng’s late-stage Nascent Soul abilities.

Instead, he selected tasks that suited his early-stage Nascent Soul capabilities.

According to He Song’s thinking,

if a task apparently only required the strength of the early-stage Nascent Soul to complete,

but actually contained great hidden danger,

then, if one were truly just a cultivator of the early-stage Nascent Soul phase, participating rashly in such tasks could lead to an unknown death.

But what if the one participating in this task already reached the late-stage Nascent Soul?

The dangers that could easily crush an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator

might not pose as much of a threat to a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

Therefore,

by hiding his actual abilities two minor realms lower, and by undertaking tasks that matched the capabilities he revealed,

any dangers he might encounter while carrying out these tasks would likely not pose a great threat to him.

After all, who would expect a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator to undertake tasks that only require the strength of an early-stage Nascent Soul?

Certainly, the original He Song wanted to hide even more of his strength.

Regrettably,

the tasks within the Treasure Pavilion that could gradually lead a Nascent Soul cultivator to be recognized by the Pavilion were only those suited for the Nascent Soul Realm.

Tasks from the Golden Elixir or Foundation Establishment realms, even if completed a thousand times, were actually of no use.

Thus, the tasks He Song undertook needed to all be within the Nascent Soul Realm.

And this was the reason why He Song, whose strength had reached the late-stage Nascent Soul, let Qing Feng undertake tasks suited for early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

Not that he didn’t want to hide more of his cultivation,

but hiding too much would no longer benefit him.

With this rationale, He Song soon saw a variety of tasks within his Guest Elder Token.

However, the required cultivator strengths for these tasks were all within the Nascent Soul Realm.

Among these,

one was a task from the Main Pavilion of the Treasure Pavilion inviting several Golden Elixir cultivators, or a Nascent Soul cultivator, to help eliminate an Evil Cultivator at the Golden Elixir Great Perfection within its area of influence.

The presence of this Evil Cultivator seemed to have already impacted the operations of the Main Pavilion of the Treasure Pavilion.

Therefore, this task was quite urgent and offered a substantial reward.

At the same time, there was also a task issued by a Jubao Pavilion Branch Master inviting at least one early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator to preside over the branch for a hundred years.

Given that this task was issued by a Jubao Pavilion Branch Master and the invited cultivator’s level was at least early-stage Nascent Soul,

the rewards for this task were extremely generous and appeared to involve not too much work.

In addition,

He Song also saw tasks issued directly by the Treasure Pavilion itself.

These tasks involved finding spirit medicine, Nascent Soul Spirit Ore, and many others like finding Nascent Soul Elixirs.

The rewards for these tasks were also each quite substantial.

Of course, the items these tasks sought were naturally very precious.

Seeing this, He Song had a good understanding of the tasks available within the Treasure Pavilion.
