Chapter 518: 461: Ten Years Later_2
That is to say, once the Soul-inducing Elixir was refined by He Song and after taking a full ten elixirs, his divine sense power would increase by 10%.
Currently, He Song’s divine sense can reach as far as 150 miles.
If it increased by 10%, that would mean an additional 15 miles of exploration range.
From the original 150 miles, it could be upgraded to an astonishing 165 miles distance.
Such a spirit elixir, even if placed in front of any Golden Elixir Master, would be enough for He Song to exchange it for whatever he desired.
Apart from the Soul-inducing Elixir.
The Green Leaf Elixir Collection also recorded another precious Golden Elixir spirit medicine.
The second one, the Blood Explosion Elixir, after consumption, can bring about a massive increase in combat power in a short period by burning one’s essence blood as a price, similar to the Blood Escape Skill.
Unfortunately, the side effects are also evident.
Just like the Blood Escape Skill he learned early on, after taking Blood Explosion Elixir, he could also control how much essence blood is consumed.
Ordinary cultivators usually have only ten drops of essence blood in their bodies.
If one practices body refining skills, there will be more essence blood in the body, but not by much.
For instance, He Song.
Although he practiced body refining skills, due to the limited resources, he didn’t make much progress in refining his body.
As a result, he only has a total of twelve drops of essence blood in his body until now.
They are now gathered in his heart, serving as his foundation.
Once the essence blood is depleted, replenishing it isn’t easy.
For ordinary cultivators, it would be impossible to replenish their essence blood without several years of hard work.
Even cultivators like He Song, who practiced body refining skills, would need at least one year to condense one drop of essence blood with the help of their body refining skills.
However, after taking the Blood Explosion Elixir, a single drop of essence blood can only last for six finger snaps’ time.
A finger snap is ten moments.
A moment is one second.
Six finger snaps equal one minute.
It takes a year to condense essence blood that can only provide a brief surge of combat power lasting for six finger snaps’ time.
For anyone, such a matter would require careful consideration.
Moreover, even if He Song burned most of his essence blood, he might only get a burst of combat power lasting a cup of tea’s time at most.
If he couldn’t defeat his enemy within that time, He Song might end up being the one who died.
However, precisely because of the huge consumption, after taking the Blood Explosion Elixir, the combat power enhancement it brings is extremely strong.
Although He Song doesn’t know how much combat power the Blood Explosion Elixir would provide when burning his essence blood at the moment.
Moreover, the duration is also very short.
However, in his heart, He Song has developed a strong interest in the Blood Explosion Elixir.
For him, the Blood Explosion Elixir could become one of his trump cards, just like the Blood Escape Skill.
With the powerful combat power enhancement brought by the Blood Explosion Elixir, He Song’s strength will undoubtedly advance further and possess a new trump card.
If he had a Blood Explosion Elixir, He Song would naturally be more relaxed in facing extreme situations in the future.
Most importantly.
Essence blood is something that can regenerate continuously.
Although a drop of essence blood takes about a year to condense.
However, time.
For He Song, an everlasting being, it’s never a problem.
Other cultivators might keep their distance from things like the Blood Explosion Elixir and Blood Escape Skill due to their severe side effects and huge consumption of essence blood for a massive boost.
But He Song is different; what he lacks has never been time.
But powerful protective skills.
And these Blood Explosion Elixirs and Blood Escape Skills.
For He Song, however, this was precisely the kind of Dao-protecting technique he lacked the most.
Unfortunately, He Song had not yet fully refined the spirit medicine he had harvested into elixirs.
Since his understanding of Elixir Tao had not yet reached the level where he could study Golden Elixir recipes.
Naturally, he couldn’t touch the edge of Golden Elixir recipes, let alone study these two precious spirit elixirs.
Although he was very eager, He Song knew that he had to take it step by step since there’s no hurry for eating hot tofu.
Apart from the Green Leaf Elixir Collection.
During these ten years, He Song’s study of his own skills had fallen a little short of his expectations.
Because he had to completely hide himself to avoid being detected by others.
As a result, He Song couldn’t study other skills simultaneously while focusing on Array Skills like he did during his seclusive cultivation in his cave mansion.
During this decade, He Song’s studies in elixir refinement, artifacts refinement, amulet making, and other skills had basically stagnated.
There was no other choice, as the situation here did not allow He Song to study these skills.
However, it is worth mentioning that.
He Song had already fully refined the Green Jade Leaf he obtained from Black-Robe Golden Elixir during these ten years.
At this moment, the Green Jade Leaf had become He Song’s fourth spirit artifact, currently being nurtured by his mana in his Elixir Field.
When He Song had fully refined the Green Jade Leaf and nurtured it in his Elixir Field, an almost imperceptible barrier naturally appeared around him.
This barrier was supported by the Green Jade Leaf.
The purpose, of course, was to ensure that He Song could avoid being attacked by Tracking Secret Skills.
In the future, even if He Song kills someone with high connections like a Sub-Pavilion Master of the Treasure Pavilion or disciples of Nascent Soul Upper Sects.
After these people die and the tracking secret skills emerge from their bodies, they will be unable to do anything to He Song and can only fade away in frustration.
In this way, He Song will no longer be held back when dealing with others in the future, nor will he need to go through the trouble of finding scapegoats as he did before.
Also.
During these ten years.
Through communication with the outside world using his Sound Transmission Amulet, He Song learned about major events happening outside.
The first major event.
Meng Guan did not join the Golden Snake Sect.
Instead, he joined the Sun Faction and became a Golden Elixir Elder of the Sun Faction.
This news came in the second year after Meng Guan left seclusion and contacted He Song.
At that time, Meng Guan sent a message to He Song saying he had joined the Sun Faction and became a Golden Elixir Elder of the Sun Faction.
Apart from that, he also thanked He Song for showing him the right path.
According to Meng Guan’s statement.
After communicating with He Song, he had already thought about going to the Sun Faction and joining them.
After some investigation and confirming the truth of He Song’s words, he did not stay within the sphere of influence of the Golden Snake Sect but quickly went north and entered the sphere of influence of the Sun Faction.
Furthermore, he found a random state mansion within the territory of the Sun Faction, stating that he was a Thick Earth Sect disciple who had a fortuitous breakthrough in Foundation Establishment and came to join the Sun Faction.
Normally, the Sun Faction would scrutinize newcomers with a Golden Elixir cultivation like Meng Guan to prevent spies from infiltrating their sect.
But unexpectedly, Meng Guan encountered a familiar face within the Sun Faction.
Zhao Lin, who initially came from Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion with Meng Guan, He Song, and Wei Fan, and later joined the Thick Earth Sect like the other three, was also in the Sun Faction.
In the beginning, Zhao Lin was familiar with Meng Guan who then introduced him to He Song on his trip to the Red Spirit Gold Mine.
He Song had known Zhao Lin for a long time and treated him as a close friend, later introducing him to Wei Fan.
Unfortunately, contact between Meng Guan and Zhao Lin eventually dwindled, with He Song’s communication with Zhao Lin also declining over time.
Even though the four of them were in the Thick Earth Sect, they didn’t have much contact.
Unexpectedly, Meng Guan, as a Golden Elixir Master, went to the Sun Faction to join when he happened to run into Zhao Lin who was in the Sun Faction.
Zhao Lin’s cultivation had now reached the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Realm, and it seemed that he had become a disciple of a Golden Elixir Master in the Sun Faction.
With him vouching to verify Meng Guan’s true identity as a Thick Earth Sect cultivator, the Sun Faction’s investigation into Meng Guan’s identity naturally came to an end.
