Translator: 549690339
Apart from narrowly escaping at Wei Fan’s home and finding out that Master Cheng Shan was actually an old sixth member, He Song racked his brain, but he found no other gains to speak of.
Nevertheless, over the next few days, He Song devoted some of his time to learn more about the situation outside the Immortal Pavilion while practicing his cultivation.
Even though the outer perimeter of the Immortal Pavilion had suffered from the rampage of evil cultivators, not all cultivators had been killed.
Some cultivators were spared either because their cultivation was too low to be noticed, or they possessed various life-saving means and managed to endure the onslaught.
Still, others survived because they hid well and eventually gathered together, accounting for about a quarter of the original population.
From the stories of these surviving cultivators, He Song learned what had happened outside the Immortal Pavilion when the evil cultivators attacked.
The outer perimeter of the Immortal Pavilion initially experienced a spreading panic.
Law Enforcement Team then left.
Subsequently, the evil cultivators ran rampant through three phases.
The first phase wasn’t too bad, with cultivators nervously using their spirit stones to buy life-saving items.
That was when the prices of life-saving items in the Immortal Pavilion skyrocketed.
In the second phase, the Law Enforcement Team was forced to evacuate to the inner circle after their first battle with the Evil Cultivators.
Loose cultivators in the outer perimeter of the Immortal Pavilion were utterly miserable during this phase.
A cultivator practiced Breath Concealment Formulas in hopes of hiding at home and avoiding detection by evil cultivators.
However, since the formulas only concealed one’s breath and did not provide invisibility, he was quickly discovered.
His fate was, of course, unspeakable.
Other loose cultivators who used various means to escape the catastrophe also mostly ended up discovered and met a tragic fate.
Only a few cultivators had the power to fight back and kill some evil cultivators, or hide well enough to remain undiscovered, or had a low cultivation level at the first-tier Qi Refining, which was not worth the attention of evil cultivators, thus they lived.
Neutralizing the rampage of evil cultivators was the third phase.
At this stage, there were few cultivators outside the Immortal Pavilion, and most of them were in hiding.
As a result, the evil cultivators couldn’t find anyone to plunder and had to attack the inner circle.
However, with the help of late-stage Qi-refining cultivators from the inner circle, the evil cultivators’ offensive was thwarted.
Seeing that success was impossible, most of the evil cultivators left, leaving only some who still wished to make a small fortune on the outer perimeter of the Immortal Pavilion.
Every year, people become loose cultivators.
In a few years, or a decade or so, Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion will once again become as bustling as it was before.
Time flies.
Three years have passed since Master Cheng Shan left and Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion was attacked by evil cultivators.
Over these three years, Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion returned to its usual tranquility, and He Song continued to study Array Tao Introduction. However, he still couldn’t set up even the simplest Spirit-Gathering Array.
This wasn’t because He Song lacked talent in array tao.
On the contrary, He Song had acquired a deep understanding of setting up Spirit-Gathering Arrays.
Now, He Song has started attempting to engrave array patterns on spirit stones, which has resulted in him spending almost all of his earned spirit stones on this practice over the past three years.
Engraving affay patterns on spirit stones is one of the prereallisites for setting
up a Spirit-Gathering Array.
But engraving them often damages the spirit stones, causing the spirit Qi within to leak, which he could only absorb.
As a result, He Song could never save up enough spirit stones.
However, his cultivation had reached the peak of the third-tier Qi Refining due to absorbing spirit Qi from the damaged spirit stones.
To advance to the Qi-refining mid-stage like Lin Cong, all he needed was to break through with his ongoing meditation.
And, because of his constant practice with spirit stones, He Song’s ability to engrave array patterns on spirit stones was becoming more and more skillful.
It seemed that it wouldn’t be long before he could set up a Spirit-Gathering Array.
Outside Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.
In He Song’s house.
Within the quiet meditation chamber.
He Song sat with his eyes closed, with more than a dozen spirit stones placed beside him.
These spirit stones were all that he had left, and he had not hesitated to place them around him in order to break through to the Qi-refining mid-stage.
This method was taught to him by Lin Cong and Wei Fan.
During a breakthrough in minor realms, placing spirit stones close by would increase the chances of a successful breakthrough.
Although the increase wasn’t much, it was a rare and helpful trick for improving breakthrough chances.
Were it not for his friendship with them, no one would teach this small technique to others..
