 Chapter 348 - Stretched to the Limit

  And nowadays.

  Su Qian, who had just failed to break through Foundation Establishment, had naturally become He Song's preferred channel for obtaining news.

  Su Qian was still at the Flying Cloud Immortal Workshop and was the deacon of the Flying Cloud Immortal Workshop.

  Flying Cloud Immortal Workshop is located within the sphere of influence of Eight Veins Immortal City.

  The Eight Veins Immortal City was under the state capital of Yunzhou.

  On top of the Cloud State Prefecture, there is the Yuanying upper sect, the Yiyang Sect.

  In other words, although today's Su Qian had failed to build her foundation and only had up to sixty years left to live, her location was still quite important to He Song.

  The Flying Cloud Immortal Workshop was located in the middle of the Yiyang Sect, not far from the Alliance of Righteousness.

  Within this range, Su Qian, as a deacon of the Flying Cloud Immortal Workshop, was naturally able to obtain a great deal of information.

  Moreover, most of it should be news related to the Righteous Alliance.

  In this way.

  He Song, who was still in the territory of the Thick Earth Sect, had the two major nearby sources of information in Qing Yue Zhenzhen, as well as Su Qian.

  In case something changed in the future, He Song would also be able to know in the first instance and respond.

  Only in this way, He Song's own life safety could be guaranteed.

  Otherwise.

Even if He Song had been hiding in the Jindan Grand Formation, he was afraid that he would still be at risk of being discovered and besieged.  

Although the Jindan Grand Formation was strong, but in case he ran into a Jindan True Lord mixing it up next to him, or if there was a YuanYing Ancestor making a move, I'm afraid that he wouldn't be able to withstand it.

  And it was precisely for this reason that He Song chose to write back to comfort Su Qian, and then asked her to follow up and start delivering news to himself.

  With these sources of information, He Song naturally didn't need to worry too much anymore, and could properly shut down and cultivate, allowing his cultivation to break through to the Jindan realm as soon as possible.

  After replying to Su Qian's letter.

  He Song quickly sat down on his knees again and began to cultivate.

  As wisps of spiritual qi poured into He Song's body from all directions, the mana in his body also began to slowly grow.

  As time passed bit by bit.

  News from the outside world also continued to come in, letting He Song know.

  The war between the Righteous Alliance and the Devil's Alliance was still continuing.

  However, based on the news that came from Su Qian, as well as the news that Realist Qing Yue told He Song in comparison.

  He Song however came to a somewhat strange conclusion.

  The war between the Righteous Alliance and the Devil's Alliance seemed to have gradually gotten out of flames.

  Both sides were no longer deploying Foundation Establishment real people to the frontline, and even the intensity of the fighting between the two sides had also dropped dramatically.

  Of course, the group of reckless people from the Golden Sword Sect were still doing what they were doing, catching the Seven Star Sect's people and frantically outputting.

  That Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Cultivator, who had lost his disciple, was even more courageous in fighting for the lead every time.

  Fortunately, the Golden Sword Sect's disciples were very formidable in battle, which allowed him to survive all this time.

  If they were weaker, I'm afraid they would have died hundreds of times.

  In addition to the Golden Sword Sect, the other Jindan sects in both the Righteous Alliance and the Devil's Alliance, their desire to attack had dissipated.

  Nowadays, although there were still occasional small fights between the two sides, the overall situation was very smooth.

  There wasn't any big battle happening again.

  The Jindan True Lords from both sides did not make any moves either.

  The situation between the two sides seemed to have become somewhat delicate.

  He Song didn't know whether he should be happy or sad after coming to this conclusion.

  The gradual stalemate of the war meant that the surroundings had become safe.   

  However, nowadays, He Song was already within the Jindan Grand Formation, so as long as he wasn't too unlucky, he basically wouldn't be in any danger.

  In such a situation.

  If the external environment becomes safe, the Jindan cave where He Song is now located will almost become a decoration.

  Because even without this Jindan Grand Formation, He Song wouldn't encounter too much danger.

  While maintaining this Jindan Grand Formation, it would cause He Song to consume a large amount of spirit stones.

  Maintaining a Jindan Grand Formation would cost tens of thousands of spirit stones every year.

  Every year, it would cost tens of thousands of spirit stones.

  When converted into medium grade spirit stones, hundreds of them would be needed.

  During the years that He Song had been in seclusion in the Jindan Grand Formation, he was afraid that he had spent hundreds of thousands of spirit stones on maintaining the operation of the Jindan Grand Formation.

  On top of that, there was also a large amount of cultivation resources that were constantly consumed by He Song and turned into his own cultivation strength.

  In such a situation, even if He Song still had a full 20,000 medium grade spirit stones on him today, the total value was almost equivalent to more than two million lower grade spirit stones.

  Yet, he also felt that his fortune was rapidly shrinking.

  As the spirit stones on his body continued to dwindle, He Song realized.

  Although the Jindan Grand Formation was powerful, it also required extremely terrifying resources to catalyze it.

  In the absence of an enemy, a Jindan Grand Formation could cost him tens of thousands of lower-grade spirit stones in a year.

  What if it was an imperial enemy?

  I'm afraid that the rate of consumption of spirit stones would be many times more terrifying than it is now, right?

  Don't let the enemy not be worn down by the Jindan Grand Formation at that time, but your own family will be bankrupt on the spot because of the need to maintain the Grand Formation.

  He Song didn't want to experience the days when he didn't have a single spirit stone on his body.

  Therefore.

  After learning that the surrounding situation gradually began to stabilize, the surrounding began to become safe, He Song's first thought was whether or not to stop the Jindan Grand Formation.

  The consumption of tens of thousands of spirit stones a year, with He Song's current wealth of more than two million spirit stones to calculate, it is really not very consumable.

  After all, today's He Song was moving towards the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection.

  The resources he had to consume in his cultivation could be considered extremely terrifying.

  Coupled with the consumption of formations, it was feared that he would need to spend around 100,000 spirit stones in a year.

  Calculating with his current fortune of over two million spirit stones, I'm afraid that these spirit stones would only be enough for him to spend for more than twenty years.

  More than twenty years.

  He Song wasn't sure that he would be able to make it to the Foundation Establishment Great Circle in twenty years.

  Not to mention that after stepping into Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, he still needed to step into the Jindan Avenue and break through the Jindan Realm.

  However, after carefully thinking about it, He Song eventually gave up on this idea.

  The Jindan Grand Formation could not be withdrawn!

  Once the Jindan Grand Formation was withdrawn, the concentration of spiritual qi within the Grand Formation would also be reduced.

  Even if a small Spirit Gathering Formation was subsequently placed, how could a small Spirit Gathering Formation compare to the Spirit Gathering effect of the Jindan Grand Formation?

  At that time, one's cultivation speed would instantly slow down.

  At the same time, under the premise of losing the nourishment of rich spiritual qi, the spiritual medicines in the medicinal garden that required spiritual qi concentration would perhaps not be able to grow as well.

  Most importantly.

  The Mixed Gold Spirit Fruit Tree that was planted in the deepest part of the cave, I'm afraid that it would also stop ripening the not-yet-ripe Mixed Gold Spirit Fruit due to the decrease in the concentration of spiritual qi.

  If this were to happen, I'm afraid that it would be a case of picking up the sesame and losing the watermelon, and the loss would outweigh the gain.

  He Song hadn't forgotten that he still needed the unripe Mixed Gold Spirit Fruit to refine the second furnace of Gold Condensation Pill.

  With more Gold Condensing Dan, he would also be able to make himself a little more secure in breaking through the Jindan Realm.
