Xianxia :I live for ever in Cultivation World

Seeing this, He Song casually poured a cup of tea for Meng Guan.

Then, he spoke in a calm tone.

"I wonder, if I ever step into the meditation room in the future, whether the two of you will also be outside discussing this."

As he spoke, a strange expression flashed across He Song's face, as if he were imagining the scene.

That scene… it would probably be quite amusing.

He would know what the two of them were discussing outside.

And they would know that he, inside the meditation room, knew what they were discussing outside.

But because of the meditation room's isolation, none of them would actually hear what the others were saying.

As the scene He Song described flashed through his mind, Meng Guan's face also gradually took on a strange expression.

However, in response to He Song's words, Meng Guan didn't say anything. He simply smiled faintly, shook his head, and turned his gaze to the distance.

Seeing this, He Song naturally didn't press further.

The courtyard fell silent.

Only the occasional sound of tea being poured and sipped could be heard.

Since they were within the Earth Sect, guarding Wei Fan's courtyard was nothing more than sitting and waiting.

As for danger, He Song felt that even if a Golden Core True Monarch were to attack, there would be no need for panic.

Therefore, with nothing else to do, He Song quickly immersed himself in studying the *Introduction to Formation Dao*.

After seven years of studying the formation knowledge within the *Introduction to Formation Dao*, He Song felt he had mastered the various methods of setting up the *Minor Spirit Gathering Formation*, as well as the techniques for crafting formation flags and formation plates.

Next, he only needed to gather the materials required to craft the formation flags and plates.

Once these two items were successfully crafted, and the formation patterns of the *Minor Spirit Gathering Formation* were inscribed on them, He Song would be able to set up the formation using a special technique.

The *Minor Spirit Gathering Formation* far surpassed the *Micro Spirit Gathering Formation* in terms of coverage area and the density of spiritual energy within its range.

According to He Song's speculation, the formations used in immortal markets were likely *Minor Spirit Gathering Formations*.

However, the scope of immortal markets was far too large, while the coverage of a *Minor Spirit Gathering Formation* was much smaller in comparison.

This left He Song puzzled.

"Could I be wrong? Are the formations in immortal markets not *Minor Spirit Gathering Formations*? But that doesn't make sense. The density and range of spiritual energy are exactly the same as those of a *Minor Spirit Gathering Formation*."

"Could it be that someone used a special method to overlay multiple *Minor Spirit Gathering Formations* and concentrated the spiritual energy in the inner areas of the immortal market, creating that effect?"

"Such a method isn't recorded in the *Introduction to Formation Dao*. It seems I'll need to study further to understand."

After pondering for a moment, He Song shook his head and pushed these thoughts aside.

Regardless of whether the formations in immortal markets were *Minor Spirit Gathering Formations* or not, his study of the *Minor Spirit Gathering Formation* couldn't be interrupted.

The *Minor Spirit Gathering Formation* was the simplest formation in the *Introduction to Formation Dao*.

The other formations were far more complex.

To continue his studies, he would need to start with the easy and gradually move to the difficult, repeating this process until he mastered the formations he wanted to learn.

At the same time, once He Song could set up the *Minor Spirit Gathering Formation*, the density of spiritual energy he could enjoy would far surpass what was available in the Earth Sect.

After all, the *Minor Spirit Gathering Formations* in immortal markets were designed to supply an entire market.

But once He Song successfully set up his own *Minor Spirit Gathering Formation*, all the spiritual energy gathered by the formation would be concentrated on him alone.

Such an intense concentration of spiritual energy would naturally exceed what was available in the Earth Sect's outer sect.

By then, He Song's cultivation speed would likely see a significant boost, bringing him closer to his goal of reaching Foundation Establishment.

As He Song immersed himself in studying the *Minor Spirit Gathering Formation* and the methods for crafting formation flags and plates, Meng Guan closed his eyes to rest, seemingly deep in thought.

Time passed quietly.

Several days later, He Song and Meng Guan opened their eyes almost simultaneously.

After exchanging a glance, they both saw a hint of joy in each other's eyes.

"Did it work?"

"It worked!"

This brief exchange would have been incomprehensible to anyone else, but for the two men in Wei Fan's courtyard, it was a moment of overwhelming excitement.

Just moments ago, a powerful spiritual pressure had erupted from the meditation room where Wei Fan was in seclusion, instantly spreading outward.

He Song and Meng Guan had been jolted awake by this sudden surge of spiritual pressure, leading to their simultaneous awakening and the brief exchange that followed.

Under what circumstances would such a powerful spiritual pressure emerge from a meditation room?

Without a doubt, it meant that Wei Fan had successfully broken through to Foundation Establishment.

Only by successfully reaching Foundation Establishment could such a powerful spiritual pressure be released.

Although the pressure made He Song slightly uncomfortable, the joy of his friend's breakthrough quickly overshadowed this minor discomfort.

"Good, good. Foundation Establishment is excellent, truly excellent."

In front of He Song, Meng Guan's face was beaming with joy as he repeatedly expressed his delight.

At the same time, Meng Guan quickly stood up and began walking toward the meditation room.

However, halfway there, he stopped and began pacing back and forth in front of the room.

He Song was puzzled by this behavior.

To an outsider, Meng Guan's excitement might have suggested that he was the one who had successfully broken through.

But Meng Guan had already reached Foundation Establishment, so it wasn't possible for him to do so again.

Still, his actions left He Song somewhat confused.

As Meng Guan paced, he seemed to notice the confusion on He Song's face, which only made his joy grow.

He stopped pacing and returned to sit in front of He Song.

Then, with a cheerful expression, he spoke.

"Do you know why I'm so happy about Brother Wei's successful breakthrough?"

Without waiting for He Song to respond, Meng Guan continued, explaining the reason for his excitement.

"As a friend, I'm genuinely happy for Brother Wei's success."

"However, there's another reason for my joy."

"After successfully breaking through to Foundation Establishment, one must meet with the Sect Master."

"When I met the Sect Master seven years ago, he bestowed two Foundation Establishment Pills."

"Now that Brother Wei has succeeded, there's a chance the Sect Master might bestow something again."

"What if…"

Meng Guan's eyes gleamed with anticipation as he looked at He Song.

What if the Sect Master bestowed another Foundation Establishment Pill?

If that happened, He Song's chances of breaking through to Foundation Establishment would greatly increase.

Now that both Meng Guan and Wei Fan had successfully reached Foundation Establishment, if He Song were to follow suit, the trio would become a force to be reckoned with.
