Chapter 348 Tightening Belt
And now.
Su Qian Chen, who had just failed to break through to Foundation Establishment, naturally became He Song's preferred channel for obtaining news.
Su Qian Chen was still in Colorful Cloud Immortal Market, serving as a Colorful Cloud Immortal Market steward.
Colorful Cloud Immortal Market was located within the sphere of influence of Eight Vein Immortal City.
Eight Vein Immortal City was subordinate to Cloud Prefecture.
And above Cloud Prefecture was the Nascent Soul Upper Sect, One Yang Sect.
In other words, although Su Qian Chen had failed in Foundation Establishment and had only sixty years to live at most, her location was still quite important to He Song.
Colorful Cloud Immortal Market was located within One Yang Sect and not far from the Righteous Sect Alliance.
Within this range, Su Qian Chen, as a steward of Colorful Cloud Immortal Market, could naturally obtain a great deal of information.
Moreover, most of it should be news related to the Righteous Sect Alliance.
In this way.
He Song, who was still within the Earth Sect territory, now had True Person Clear Moon and Su Qian Chen as two major sources of nearby information.
In case anything changed in the future, He Song would be able to know it immediately and respond.
Only in this way could He Song's own life safety be guaranteed.
Otherwise.
Even if He Song kept hiding in the Golden Core Grand Formation, there would still be a risk of being discovered and besieged.
Although the Golden Core Grand Formation was strong, if he encountered Golden Core True Lords fighting nearby, or if Nascent Soul Ancestors took action, it might not be able to withstand it.
And it was precisely because of this that He Song chose to reply to comfort Su Qian Chen, and then asked her to start passing on news to him later.
With these sources of information, He Song naturally didn't need to worry too much anymore, and could properly enter closed-door cultivation to make his cultivation break through to the Golden Core Stage as soon as possible.
After replying to Su Qian Chen.
He Song quickly sat cross-legged again and began to cultivate.
As wisps of spiritual Qi poured into He Song's body from all directions, the Magical Power in his body also began to slowly increase.
As time passed bit by bit.
News from the outside world also continued to come, letting He Song know.
The war between the Righteous Sect Alliance and the Demon Sect Alliance was still ongoing.
However, according to the news from Su Qian Chen and compared with the news True Person Clear Moon told He Song.
He Song came to a somewhat strange conclusion.
The war between the Righteous Sect Alliance and the Demon Sect Alliance seemed to be gradually cooling down.
Both sides were no longer dispatching Foundation Establishment True Persons to the front lines, and even the intensity of the fighting between the two sides had greatly decreased.
Of course, the brutes of the Golden Sword Sect were still doing their own thing, madly attacking the people of the Seven Stars Sect.
That Perfected Foundation Establishment cultivator whose disciple had died was even more eager to be the first to charge forward every time.
Fortunately, the disciples of the Golden Sword Sect were extremely powerful, which allowed him to survive safely until now.
If it were someone with slightly weaker strength, they would probably have died hundreds of times already.
Apart from the Golden Sword Sect, the desire to attack among the Golden Core Sects in both the Righteous Sect Alliance and the Demon Sect Alliance had dissipated a lot.
Now, although there were still occasional minor skirmishes between the two sides, the overall situation was very stable.
No major battles had occurred again.
The Golden Core True Lords of both sides had not taken action either.
The situation between the two sides seemed to have become somewhat subtle.
After reaching this conclusion, He Song didn't know whether he should be happy or worried.
The gradual stalemate of the war represented a safer surrounding environment.
But He Song was now already inside the Golden Core Grand Formation, and as long as his luck wasn't too bad, there would basically be no danger.
In this situation.
If the external environment became safer, the Golden Core cave dwelling where He Song was now located would almost become a decoration.
Because even without this Golden Core Grand Formation, He Song would not encounter too much danger.
But maintaining this Golden Core Grand Formation would cause a large consumption of spirit stones on He Song's body.
Maintaining a Golden Core Grand Formation.
Would cost tens of thousands of spirit stones each year.
Converted into mid-grade spirit stones, it would require hundreds.
In the years He Song had been in closed-door cultivation in the Golden Core Grand Formation, the spirit stones spent on maintaining the operation of the Golden Core Grand Formation probably totaled hundreds of thousands.
In addition, a large amount of cultivation resources were also constantly consumed by He Song and turned into his own cultivation strength.
In this situation, even though He Song still had more than twenty thousand mid-grade spirit stones on him, with a total value almost equivalent to more than two million inferior spirit stones.
But he also felt that his wealth was rapidly shrinking.
When the spirit stones on his body kept decreasing, He Song realized.
Although the Golden Core Grand Formation was powerful, it also required extremely terrifying resources to activate it.
Without defending against enemies, a Golden Core Grand Formation could cost him tens of thousands of inferior spirit stones a year.
What if he were to defend against enemies?
The speed of spirit stone consumption would probably be many times more terrifying than now, right?
Don't let the enemy not be worn down by the Golden Core Grand Formation, and instead, his wealth goes bankrupt on the spot because of maintaining the grand formation.
He Song didn't want to experience the days of not having a single spirit stone on him.
Therefore.
After learning that the surrounding situation was gradually stabilizing and the surroundings were beginning to become safer, He Song's first thought was whether or not to stop this Golden Core Grand Formation.
The consumption of tens of thousands of spirit stones a year, based on He Song's current wealth of more than two million spirit stones, was really not something he could easily afford.
After all, He Song was now moving towards Foundation Establishment Great Perfection.
The resources he had to consume in cultivation were extremely terrifying.
Adding to the consumption of the formation, it would probably cost about one hundred thousand spirit stones a year.
Calculated with his current wealth of more than two million spirit stones, these spirit stones would probably only be enough for him to spend for more than twenty years.
More than twenty years.
He Song was not confident that he could successfully step into Foundation Establishment Great Perfection within more than twenty years.
Not to mention that after stepping into Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, he would still need to step onto the Golden Core Great Dao and break through to the Golden Core Stage.
However, after thinking carefully, He Song finally gave up this idea.
The Golden Core Grand Formation cannot be removed!
Once the Golden Core Grand Formation was removed, the concentration of spiritual Qi within the grand formation would also decrease accordingly.
Even if Minor Spirit Gathering Formations were set up afterwards, how could Minor Spirit Gathering Formations compare with the spirit gathering effect of the Golden Core Grand Formation?
At that time, his cultivation speed would slow down instantly.
At the same time, under the premise of losing the nourishment of rich spiritual Qi, the spirit herbs in the medicine garden that required a certain concentration of spiritual Qi might also be unable to grow.
Most importantly.
The mixed gold spirit fruit tree planted in the deepest part of the cave dwelling would probably also stop ripening the unripe mixed gold spirit fruit due to the decrease in spiritual Qi concentration.
If this situation really occurred, it would probably be a case of picking up sesame seeds and losing a watermelon, a net loss.
He Song had not forgotten that he still needed that unripe mixed gold spirit fruit to refine the second batch of Qi Condensing Pills.
With more Qi Condensing Pills, he would also be able to be more secure when breaking through to the Golden Core Stage.
