Ten thousand spirit stones!

For a Qi-refining late stage cultivator, it’s an extraordinary wealth.

Even if it’s risky, he is willing to take the chance.

Moreover, as a fellow Qi-refining late stage cultivator, if it comes down to a real fight, he has some confidence.

Just a mere loose cultivator after all.

Even if He Song’s cultivation has reached the eighth-tier Qi Refining.

And his own cultivation is only at the seventh-tier Qi Refining.

But, how could a mere loose cultivator compare to him, an Immortal Pavilion steward with a fortunate background?

Recalling the opportunity he once obtained by chance, Mi Cang became determined, and a surge of murderous intent rose in his heart.

He Song did not know what Mi Cang was thinking or that he had been targeted.

However.

Earlier on, due to Mi Cang’s intention to take his storage bag, He Song had already become alert.

Upon leaving the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion, He Song hurriedly rushed to the inn at Flame Light Immortal Pavilion.

After paying ten spirit stones,

He rented the inn for ten days. After entering, he activated the Concealment Array inside to hide his presence.

Having done all this, He Song removed his black robe and casually threw out a fireball to burn it to ashes.

Afterwards, he circulated his spirit power within his body, quickly washing his body and storage bags with spirit power.

Knowing of the existence of the Tracking Skill in the Cultivation World, He Song naturally wouldn’t give any opportunities away.

Under the washing of spirit power, the tracking mark would be wiped clean.

Whether it was his storage bag or his body, He Song used spirit power to cleanse them both thoroughly.

Once all of this was done, He Song finally let out a sigh of relief. He changed

into another black robe and transformed his appearance once more.

Then, he used the Earth Tunneling Skill to delve underground and swiftly traveled towards the small valley tens of miles away.

According to He Song’s thinking,

After doing all of this, he should be able to eliminate all ordinary tracking marks.

In this way, escaping by tunneling through the ground would ensure his safety.

In addition,

Hurrying to the small valley tens of miles away was something he had planned long ago.

If he did all of this in the inn and the opponent still managed to find him, Then the Array Skills in the small valley could be put to use.

After trapping the opponent, he could then force the truth out from their mouth. In the future, if he were to sell spirit rice again, he would have an extra layer of precaution.

After all, there is an endless variety of skills in the Cultivation World, and nobody knows if they could be targeted by a certain skill, causing their own demise.

As for Mi Cang’s cultivation, based on He Song’s investigation, it was merely at the seventh-tier Qi Refining.

He Song’s cultivation had already reached the eighth-tier Qi Refining by now.

With the aid of Array Skills, Trapping the opponent,

Or even killing the opponent,

Should not be difficult tasks.

He Song had learned the Mountain Pressing Sword Riding Skill, after all.

This Sword Riding Skill had an extremely impressive offensive power at the Qi Refining stage.

It was one of the top attack sword skills amongst Thick Earth Sect Qi Refining cultivators.

Being higher in cultivation by one tier,

With the aid of Array Skills,

And also possessing the powerful Mountain Pressing Sword Riding Skill,

With a full set of Artifacts and spirit amulets on hand,

He Song contemplated for a moment and finally concluded that such a lineup was more than enough to deal with a seventh-tier Qi Refining cultivator.

With his decision made,

He Song’s figure quickly made its way underground towards the small valley tens of miles away.

At the same time,

Outside the inn of Flame Light Immortal Pavilion,

Mi Cang had already changed into a black robe and concealed his entire aura. He was hiding in a corner outside the inn and secretly monitoring.

However, to his surprise,

When he saw He Song enter the inn and activate the Concealment Array, he suddenly found the tracking mark he placed on He Song’s storage bag using the Tracking Skill becoming unstable.

This was an effect that would only occur when the tracking mark was being washed away by spirit power and gradually losing its effectiveness. Ordinary tracking marks were attached to the surface of an object,

And would be easily washed away once hit with spirit power.

This was also the reason why He Song washed himself and his storage bags with spirit power every time after selling spirit rice, and burned the black robe.

Wei Fan had learned the Tracking Skill, and He Song had learned about its weakness from him.

Upon noticinz this, Mi Cang became anxious but not flustered.

“Hmph, crafty kid,”

“He’s really very cautious.”

“Fortunately, my Seven Fragrance Tracking Skill was obtained by chance and isn’t the inferior kind sold at the Spirit Skill Pavilion.” Seven Fragrance Tracking Skill.

It was different from ordinary Tracking Skills.

Ordinary Tracking Skills just left a mark, and once the mark disappeared, tracking would naturally be impossible.contemporary romance

However, the Seven Fragrance Tracking Skill, while also leaving a mark, would have its seven strange scents remain on an object for seven days even if the mark disappeared.

Seven days.

It was more than enough.

Full of confidence, Mi Cang had no idea what kind of cunning person he had set his sights on.

It wasn’t until He Song used the Earth Tunneling Skill to leave Flame Light Immortal Pavilion and quickly head towards the small valley tens of miles away that Mi Cang, who was still waiting outside the inn, realized something was amiss.

After casually casting the Seven Fragrance Tracking Skill once more, only to find that the target was no longer in the inn, Mi Cang became extremely agitated.

“Well, well, well, being able to slip away under my nose, it seems this kid has quite a few secrets.”

Following the direction indicated by the Seven Fragrance Tracking Skill, he quickly pursued.

Mi Cang couldn’t help but feel annoyed in his heart.

If it wasn’t for his sudden whim to use the Seven Fragrance Tracking Skill one more time to confirm He Song’s position, He Song might have actually escaped.

Feeling like he was being toyed with, Mi Cang’s anger was directed entirely at He song.

Not long after.

He Song had traveled several dozen miles underground and soon arrived at a valley filled with Illusion Arrays and Five Phases Arrays.

He planned to stay around for two days.

Two days’ time.

Those who would pursue would naturally come.

If no one came after two days, then they probably wouldn’t come, and he could safely head to the next Immortal Pavilion to get more spirit rice.

However.

Just as He Song arrived at the valley and began comprehending the Smoke Array while keeping an eye on his surroundings, he suddenly noticed that someone had triggered his array.

Realizing this, He Song’s eyes widened, and a trace of surprise flickered across them.

He had just arrived not too long ago, and someone was already pursuing him?

Who was it?

But before He Song could go and check it out, he already heard a strange cry.

“An array? Why is there an array here?”

Looking in the direction of the sound.

He Song immediately saw a man in a black robe, whose way was being blocked by various attacks formed within the Five Phases Array.

At this moment.

The Five Phases Array had been completely activated, with countless attacks manifesting, aimed at the man in black robe.

Simultaneously, upon spotting the man in black robe, He Song also manipulated the Illusion Array, fully covering the valley.

After doing all this, He Song took a closer look at the man in black robe, finding that his figure seemed somewhat familiar.

Concealing his figure and aura using the Illusion Array, he then unveiled his two medium-grade Artifacts, readying himself for both offense and defense.

He Song’s thoughts surged.

Instantly, the Mountain Pressing Sword Riding Skill was deployed.

A flash of red-gold sword light was soon controlled by He Song, striking towards the man in black robe not far away.

In mid-air.

The red-gold sword light sped away with an overwhelming momentum, slashing in the man in black robe’s direction.

He Song’s figure also started moving at this moment.

Not waiting for the Red Gold Sword to hit him, He Song immediately left his original position and changed his location.

Fighting a cultivator.

If one stood still, they could easily become a target.

Even if He Song had hidden his figure and aura using the Illusion Array, the path the Red Gold Sword took to slash forward could still reveal He Song’s position at the time of the sword stroke.

Thus, despite the Red Gold Sword still being in flight, He Song’s figure had already departed from his original spot.

The Red Gold Sword controlled by the Mountain Pressing Sword Riding Skill was incredibly powerful.

However, the momentum when striking was also extraordinary.

Even though He Song had tried his best to conceal the Red Gold Sword with the Illusion Array, the power contained within it still alerted the man in black robe within the Five Phases Array.

In the next moment.

The man in black robe looked at the direction where the Red Gold Sword was slashing, a fleeting look of solemnity passed across his face.

Subsequently, a massive green shield appeared beside him.

“Wood Spirit Shield!”

With a soft shout, He Song instantly recognized the person’s voice.

Mi Gang!

The steward from Spiritual Medicine Pavilion who had traded with He Song before!

Realization flashed through He Song’s eyes.

So it was him.

But soon, the realization in He Song’s eyes disappeared, and he once again focused on controlling the Red Gold Sword to attack Mi Cang.

However, once the Wood Spirit Shield appeared, Mi Cang was fully protected within.

Seeing that the ambush had failed.

He Song had no choice but to face it head-on.

Shortly after, the Red Gold Sword fiercely slammed onto the Wood Spirit Shield.

Clang!

With a loud metallic clash, He Song felt the spirit power controlling the Red Gold Sword waver a bit.

The Red Gold Sword wobbled in mid-air.

He Song increased the output of his spirit power to stabilize it.

Glancing at Mi Cang’s direction, He Song’s face lit up with joy.

Ahead of him, the Wood Spirit Shield in front of Mi Cang had been flung far away, landing at a distance.

Just one strike.

The Red Gold Sword had managed to send the huge round shield flying!

Moreover, judging by Mi Cang’s current expression, he didn’t seem to be faring any better.

Seeing this, an idea of attacking while the enemy is weak formed in He Song’s mind.

At this moment, Mi Cang’s face was incredibly ugly.

Looking at the Wood Spirit Shield that had been flung far away, he sensed the trembling spirit power within his body. A great sense of fear rose from his heart.

With just one strike.

He Song had sent his Wood Spirit Shield flying, and at the same time, caused the spirit power in his body to tremble incessantly. That was a medium-grade Artifact!

His own strength was at the seventh-tier of Qi Refining!

Only when facing a powerful shockvvave of spirit power would a cultivator’s spirit power within their body tremble non-stop, and their overall strength would drop by as much as twenty percent.

However, this kind of attack that could send the opponent’s spirit power into a state of trembling in just one strike was something he had never seen in his life.

Throughout his usual exchanges with other ninth-tier Qi Refiners, he had never encountered such a scene..
