Xianxia :I live for ever in Cultivation World

"It seems I need to find more places where I can open up new spirit fields." 

A glint of determination flashed in He Song's eyes as he looked beyond the Earth Sect. 

It had now been twenty-seven years since He Song transmigrated to this world. 

In those twenty-seven years, He Song had gone from a Qi Refining first-layer cultivator to his current level of Qi Refining eighth-layer. 

When he first arrived, the original owner of his body had been eighteen years old. 

Adding eighteen to twenty-seven, He Song was now forty-five years old. 

Based on his own calculations, He Song estimated that it would take him over a decade to reach the peak of Qi Refining. 

At this pace, he should be able to reach the peak before turning sixty. 

In fact, he might even have some time to spare. 

However, with only fifteen years left before he turned sixty, the challenge of obtaining at least five Foundation Establishment Pills within that time frame was daunting. 

If he didn't open up new spirit fields, the most he could hope for in fifteen years was three Foundation Establishment Pills. 

Trying to gather enough resources to take six pills and make a full push for Foundation Establishment would be extremely difficult. 

Although He Song, as an immortal, wouldn't be affected by age even after sixty, he still had to consider how others might perceive him. 

A four-spiritual-root cultivator "miraculously" breaking through to Foundation Establishment just before turning sixty might attract some attention, but it wouldn't cause too much of a stir. 

Most cultivators would simply envy him briefly before moving on. 

However, if a four-spiritual-root cultivator achieved Foundation Establishment in their sixties or even seventies, it would undoubtedly cause a sensation. 

At that point, countless cultivators would turn their attention to He Song. 

Every move he made would be scrutinized, and his name would be remembered by anyone who asked about him. 

After all, a cultivator breaking through to Foundation Establishment in their sixties or seventies would be impossible to ignore. 

This was a scenario He Song couldn't accept. 

Staying hidden, avoiding attention, and living an ordinary life were what He Song truly desired. 

This was the cultivation world, after all. 

He had heard of techniques like soul-searching spells. 

If some Nascent Soul Ancestor or Golden Core True Person took an interest in him, his fate could turn extremely grim. 

Therefore, breaking through to Foundation Establishment before turning sixty was He Song's top priority. 

Of course, if he truly couldn't achieve it by then, He Song would have no choice but to leave and break through in a place where no one knew his age. 

In an unfamiliar place, he could claim any age he wanted without raising suspicion. 

However, He Song would only resort to this as a last resort. 

Under the Earth Sect's protection, he had established a solid foundation, built up significant resources, and even had the backing of Foundation Establishment elders. 

Abandoning all this to start over elsewhere was unthinkable unless absolutely necessary. 

In his courtyard, He Song's gaze grew increasingly resolute. 

To break through to Foundation Establishment before sixty, he needed a substantial amount of spirit stones. 

And to acquire more spirit stones, the only way he knew was to quickly open up new spirit fields and plant more spirit rice. 

With this in mind, He Song muttered to himself, "Then it's time to set out. Opening more spirit fields will give me a second chance if my first attempt at Foundation Establishment fails." 

After making up his mind, He Song left his courtyard without hesitation. 

As he stepped outside the Earth Sect, He Song turned back for a moment, sighed, and then activated his Wind Riding Art. 

His body shot forward like an arrow, swiftly moving ahead. 

After witnessing Wei Fan's failed first attempt at Foundation Establishment, He Song instinctively wanted to leave himself a backup plan. 

In his mind, he believed he could also secure a second chance at Foundation Establishment, just like Wei Fan. 

Fifteen years. 

From Qi Refining eighth-layer to the peak of Qi Refining. 

If he worked hard and used every resource available to boost his cultivation, he could likely reach the peak by fifty-eight, leaving him two years to spare. 

At that point, he would have a second chance at Foundation Establishment. 

Even if his first attempt failed, he would still have a second opportunity. 

Combined, his chances of breaking through before sixty would increase significantly. 

As he sped forward, He Song recalled Pinger's introduction to the sect's treasure vault when he first joined the Earth Sect. 

Years ago, when He Song had just entered the sect, Pinger had mentioned the treasure vault. 

The treasure vault wasn't a warehouse or a palace. 

It wasn't guarded by elders or disciples. 

Instead, it was a massive mountain. 

This mountain stood at the very center of the Earth Sect and served as the sect's main peak. 

It was a high-grade spiritual artifact. 

Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators used magical tools. 

Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators used spiritual artifacts. 

Magical tools were controlled by spiritual energy or true essence, functioning like extensions of the body but ultimately lifeless. 

Spiritual artifacts, on the other hand, moved according to the user's will. Under the influence of divine sense, they could act with a single thought, making them far more compatible with the user. 

This high-grade spiritual artifact had been crafted by an Earth Sect Nascent Soul Ancestor to protect the sect. 

The Earth Sect had been a Golden Core sect since its founding and remained one to this day. 

However, ten thousand years ago, the Earth Sect had produced a Nascent Soul Ancestor, temporarily elevating it to a Nascent Soul sect. 

But after a period of decline, it fell back to being a Golden Core sect. 

This high-grade spiritual artifact, known as the Mountain-Linking Seal, was left behind by that Nascent Soul Ancestor as a foundation for the sect. 

The Mountain-Linking Seal was shaped as if carved by blades and axes, with straight, angular lines. 

This was why most peaks within the Earth Sect shared this distinctive shape. 

Additionally, the Mountain-Linking Seal contained an internal space and was incredibly durable, making it both a foundation and the sect's treasure vault. 

As a high-grade spiritual artifact, it could be controlled by the current Sect Master, a Golden Core True Person. 

Moreover, since it possessed a spirit, it served as the sect's treasure vault. 

Outer disciples and Foundation Establishment elders only needed to approach the main peak, communicate their intentions to the Mountain-Linking Seal, and exchange spirit stones for contribution points or use contribution points to obtain what they needed. 

Though the artifact had a spirit, its intelligence was limited. 

Even if He Song exchanged all the Foundation Establishment Pills inside, it wouldn't draw the artifact's attention.
