Chapter 357: 349: Planning to Leave the Mountain

Although the Smoke Array was specialized in concealment, it was ultimately just a Foundation Establishment Array. How could it possibly compare with the Golden Elixir Array?

In terms of concealment effectiveness, the two were hardly comparable.

Moreover, in terms of offensive and defensive capabilities, the Golden Elixir Array also far surpassed the Seven Kills Heaven Fire Array and the Sea-Stabilizing and Spirit-Orienting Array.

Under such premise, removing the Golden Elixir Array would likely cast He Song into immediate distress.

But, if he didn’t remove the Golden Elixir Array, where would he get his spirit stones?

These years.

He Song managed to obtain quite a few spirit medicines from the Medicine Gardens near Heaven Power Immortal City, and the spirit elixirs he refined from them were also quite valuable.

However, even so, under He Song’s calculation, it was still not enough to offset his insane annual consumption of spirit stones.

He Song now needed to consume nearly 100,000 spirit stones every year.

Even though he was proficient in Elixir Tao and could refine elixirs to earn spirit stones.

And also proficient in Amulet Tao, able to produce spirit amulets to earn spirit stones.

He even started studying Artifact Tao, refining artifacts to earn spirit stones.

Yet even so, earning 100,000 spirit stones a year was nothing short of a delusion.

He Song thought long and hard but ultimately couldn’t come up with a good solution.

The amount of 100,000 spirit stones was indeed a bit too much for him to handle.

Unless… he could develop a large amount of Medicine Gardens, set up Spirit-Gathering Arrays to absorb surrounding spirit Qi, and supply a massive amount of spirit Qi to the Medicine Gardens.

In this case, the large number of Medicine Gardens he developed would naturally bring him a huge amount of spirit medicines.

With his status as a master of elixir refining, if he refined all these spirit medicines into elixirs, then perhaps there would be some hope.

Otherwise, He Song really couldn’t figure out how to earn 100,000 spirit stones in a year.

Unfortunately.

Developing a massive number of Medicine Gardens was something He Song could only think about.

In this world, the amount of spirit Qi was limited. It would be fine to develop a small amount of spiritual fields and herb gardens, as the Thick Earth Sect occupying this place would not mind the drain of spirit Qi.

This tiny drain of spirit Qi would not have any impact on the spirit Qi concentration at the Thick Earth Sect’s mountain gate.

In other words, if only a small amount of spiritual fields and herb gardens were developed, the small spirit-gathering array’s intercepted spirit Qi wouldn’t be enough for the Thick Earth Sect to detect.

But if he were to really start developing spiritual fields and herb gardens on a large scale, gathering countless spirit Qi into the spiritual fields and herb gardens he’d developed.

When the spirit Qi concentration within the Thick Earth Sect’s mountain gate suddenly drops, it would probably be time for the Sect to start sending out people to investigate the abnormalities in the spirit Qi.

He Song didn’t want Master Fa Xuan or Master Yan Shan to appear in front of him one day when he stepped out of the house.

Therefore, this idea was not feasible.

After realizing this, He Song couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

However, his thoughts quickly turned again.

It was impossible to develop a massive number of Medicine Gardens within the Thick Earth Sect.

But if he traveled to various places, developing a small number of Medicine Gardens within the sphere of influence of each Golden Core Sect, and even the Sun Faction, it should still be doable, right?

As long as he didn’t get greedy, those Golden Core Sects would never notice his little moves.

In this way, he only needed to go to several Golden Core Sects’ areas of influence to develop a large number of Medicine Gardens.

Moreover, because only a small number of Medicine Gardens were developed in each Golden Core Sect’s sphere of influence, it wouldn’t attract the attention of these Sects.

But as the number of gardens he had accumulated increased, the Medicine Gardens he possessed should be able to bring him tremendous profits.

With such an idea flashing through his mind, He Song pondered and found this method to be feasible.

In the sphere of influence of the Thick Earth Sect, he had already developed five Medicine Gardens, as well as the current Golden Elixir Array.

The Gathering Spirit effect of the Golden Elixir Array was several times greater than that of the small Spirit-Gathering Array, so comparing it to the five Medicine Gardens shouldn’t be an exaggeration.

In this way, one Golden Elixir Array plus five Medicine Gardens was equivalent to ten Medicine Gardens.

The five Medicine Gardens, along with the Gathering Spirit effect of the Golden Elixir Array, probably did not reduce the spirit Qi concentration of the Thick Earth Sect’s mountain gate.

If not, the Thick Earth Sect would have taken some action by now.

This means that if he were to develop only ten Medicine Gardens within the sphere of influence of other sects, it should not cause too much attention.

There are three other Golden Core Sects surrounding the Thick Earth Sect.

If he were to develop ten Medicine Gardens within the sphere of influence of each Golden Core Sect.

Adding to the five Medicine Gardens of the Thick Earth Sect, there would be a total of thirty-five Medicine Gardens.

Thirty-five Medicine Gardens, plus the spirit medicines planted in the Golden Elixir Array.

Although He Song was not sure if these gardens would bring him enough profit, enough to earn 100,000 spirit stones a year.

But if that’s not enough.

In addition to the Golden Core Sects of the Righteous Alliance, there were Sun Faction territories where it was also possible to develop Medicine Gardens.

As an Upper Sect of the Nascent Soul stage, the Sun Faction’s sphere of influence could be expanded by developing more Medicine Gardens without attracting attention.

After all, the sphere of influence of the Sun Faction was much larger than that of the Golden Core Sects.

The spirit Qi concentration within the mountain gate of the Nascent Soul Upper Sect was probably terrifying.

Such a small drain of spirit Qi would hardly be noticed by the Sun Faction.

That is to say, within the sphere of influence of the Sun Faction, He Song could freely develop many Medicine Gardens without worrying about being discovered by the people of the Sun Faction.

According to He Song’s thinking.

If the thirty-five Medicine Gardens he developed within the sphere of influence of the surrounding Golden Core Sects were still not enough to make him achieve a balance of income and expenses, or even a little surplus.

Then he could go to the Sun Faction’s sphere of influence and develop more Medicine Gardens to achieve a balance of income and expenses, perhaps even a little surplus.

Only with more and more spirit stones in his possession could He Song have enough confidence to use the Golden Elixir Array.

If things were to proceed as He Song had previously guessed.

Once he operated the Golden Elixir Array to defend against enemies, his spirit stones would likely be depleted very quickly.

By then, it wouldn’t just be as simple as going bankrupt.

Therefore, getting more spirit stones was the key.

Otherwise, when He Song’s spirit stones were completely depleted one day, and the Golden Elixir Cave Mansion and the Golden Spirit Fruit Tree in this place attracted powerful enemies.

Then the fun would really begin.

After realizing the importance of spirit stones to him, although He Song still wanted to continue his seclusive cultivation, he had no choice but to start making plans for the future.

Now.

He Song had enough spirit stones on him to last for more than twenty years in this place.

Adding the spirit stones he earned during these twenty years, it should increase a bit, and maybe he could persist for around thirty years or so.
