Chapter 78: Chapter 77: Li Dynasty (3/5)

Besides the Inedia Elixir, after some thought, He Song decided to sell all the low-level spirit amulets he had on him. He then used the spirit stones he earned from selling these spirit amulets to purchase two mid-level Thick Earth Amulets.

The spirit amulets that were originally left on He Song.

And the spirit amulets scraped from Chen Zhou’s storage bag.

All added together, there were as many as eight.

Each one sold for five spirit stones, so eight would make forty spirit stones, which was exactly enough to purchase two mid-level Thick Earth Amulets.

A mid-level Thick Earth Amulet, with its tremendous defensive power, would provide a life-saving protection if any accident occurs.

However.

Two mid-level Thick Earth Amulets were obviously not enough.

Therefore, He Song dug into his wallet again, spending another forty spirit stones to buy another two Thick Earth Amulets.

A total of four mid-level Thick Earth Amulets in his possession.

He Song still felt that it was not enough, but alas, he was left with only over sixty spirit stones on him. The remaining sixty or so spirit stones would have to be used to create the Array Foundation.

It could be said that if it wasn’t for the past year, He Song would not have been able to create the Array Foundation even with his annual salary of over a hundred spirit stones. Right now, with his wallet thin.

He just had to make do with it.

Scanning the Stall Section with his gaze, He Song sighed internally and turned towards his home to leave.

Since he had completed his shopping.

It was time for him to leave the Immortal Pavilion and find a place outside the pavilion to establish his spirit field.

Soon after.

Upon returning home, He Song promptly used the Earth Tunneling Skill and the Breath Concealment Formulas to stealthily sneak out of the Immortal Pavilion, heading towards the mountains beyond the pavilion.

The Earth Tunneling Skill.

As the name suggests, it allows its user to tunnel underground, traveling beneath the earth.

However, cultivators need to potentiate to the stage of Foundation Establishment in order to possess divine sense, and use it to scan their surroundings. At the Qi Refining Stage, they can only sense their surroundings with their spirit power.

Thus, after tunneling, if they want to examine the scene above ground .

They can either pop their heads out of the ground to observe with their physical eyes.

Or they can engage their Object Controlling Skills, using their externalized spirit power to sense their surroundings.

Observing with physical eyes has numerous advantages, such as seeing further and being better at hiding due to absence of spirit power fluctuations.

Engaging Object Controlling Skills and using externalized spirit power to sense the surroundings results in minor spirit power fluctuations, with the rang of detection limited by how far the spirit power can get from the body.

Therefore.

Typically, when someone at the Qi Refining stages uses the Earth Tunneling Skill, they would pop their heads out of the ground at regular intervals to take stock of the situation.

Fortunately, Earth Tunneling Skill allows its user to pass through objects like rocks or debris, so there’s no need to worry about banging one’s head underground.

Among the mortals, the ability of Earth Tunneling Skill has been referred by the unknowing mundane folk as the ‘Wall-Passing Skill’.

Accordingly.

With He Song frequently popping his head out for observing his surroundings and continuously tunneling forwards.

He Song quickly left Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion far behind, rapidly tunneling towards the northwest direction from the Pavilion.

The northwest direction of the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.

It’s the direction that He Song had long decided as the location for his spirit field.

Very few cultivators traversed in this direction, hence the chances of He Song’s spirit field being discovered by other cultivators was quite low once it’s been established.

Undoubtedly, it became his top choice.

Heading northwest all the way.

He Song tunneled all the way forward. Without drawing any attention from anyone, he quickly distanced himself from Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion and successfullv reached a citv of the mortal world.

Salt City.

That was the name of this city of the mortal world.

He Song’s figure silently emerged from within the city without attracting anyone’s attention.

But immediately, He Song’s hand produced several silver coins and some gold grains.

Carelessly tossing these things into his storage bag, He Song stepped out from the shadows into the light. He began leisurely strolling around this unfamiliar city.

Being a transmigrator, He Song was naturally quite curious about the cities of the mortal world in this realm.

Being a cultivator, one can easily hide their identity among mortals simply by activating the Breath Concealment Formulas. They also have a strong ability to protect themselves.

There was no worry about encountering dangers from the mortal world.

So, naturally, He Song also wanted to take a good look at just how this world of the mortal was like.

If possible.

Perhaps he could even enjoy some leisure time in the mortal world apart from his cultivation.

After all, he had plenty of time and did not need to rush cultivation like the others.

Those silver coins and gold grains he had obtained were ‘picked’ from the house of a wealthy family while he tunneled under the city.

For a cultivator, gold and silver from the mortal world were easy to gain.

That was why gold and silver from the mortal world were not in circulation at the Immortal Pavilion.

If anyone did as He Song did and ‘picked’ gold and silver from the city’s wealthy houses for circulation, the pavilion might witness an instant collapse in its price levels.

Salt City was not big.

Despite frequently stopping to observe the local customs and people of this city, deepening his understanding of this world, He Song managed to tour the entire city of Salt in just a few hours.

In the end.

He Song entered a bookstore and quickly leafed through the books available.

A short while later.

He Song climbed to the most luxurious tavern of Salt City. Settling down at a window-side seat, he ordered a pot of tea and started to pour and sip at his leisure.

Drinking wine was not He Song’s preference.

Cultivators drinking wine seemed too vulgar.

Tea, on the other hand, was a hobby that was fitting for cultivators.

The reason he came to the tavern was merely because he noticed that in some scenarios, protagonists upon entering a tavern would hear topics about the emergence of mystical treasures, major battles between sects, and grievances of the Martial World.

Thus, He Song was here with the hope of maybe hearing some interesting news.

However, during his eavesdropping, ideas about the city he was in and the immediate mortal nations around came floating into He Song’s mind.

The information he had noted while reading books in the bookstore earlier, was currently being sorted out in his mind.

This place was known as Salt City, a city under the rule of the Great Li Dynasty.

The Great Li Dynasty, with thousands of miles of territory, included Green Wall Immortal City and several surrounding Immortal Pavilions within its vast domain.

Within this domain, the Great Li Dynasty was the ruler amidst the mortal world.

Meanwhile, Green Wall Immortal City was the colossal entity that held the strings of life and death of the Great Li Dynasty.

The area ruled by Green Wall Immortal City was precisely the territorial extent of the Great Li Dynasty.

In this world.

There are no rules that prevent cultivators from interacting with mortals.

As long as it lies within their power zone, cultivation sects and aristocratic families would support a compliant dynasty to govern the mortals within their territory.

Concurrently, they can induce within the mortals ruled by this dynasty a sense of reverence for the lofty cultivators.

If mortal individuals serendipitously obtain the opportunity to cultivate, they would flock into the Immortal Pavilion or Immortal City, becoming fresh blood for the cultivation world.

And this.

Is the reason why there are continuous additions of loose cultivators in the Immortal Pavilions and Immortal Cities.

The Great Li Dynasty, where He Song currently resides, is less a mortal dynasty and more a puppet dynasty under Green Wall Immortal City’s control.

Its existence serves to provide sufficient loose cultivators from mortal world for the Cultivation World, replenishing fresh blood..
