When it comes to cultivating immortality, it naturally starts with upgrading the herb garden.

There was still a faint presence in the cave.

That aura grew increasingly weak.

Song Chen was familiar with this aura; it was the kind that only people on the verge of death would emit.

After burying Wang Zhouzhou until the ground was completely still and he was certain that she was dead, he walked toward the aura.

Pure curiosity, coupled with a touch of kindness stemming from compulsory education in his previous life.

Moreover, it wouldn't be surprising if someone like Wang Zhouzhou kept some kind of slave at home.

Song Chen sneaked into the cave again and arrived before the weak aura in a few breaths. It was a little girl, covered in blood, with a piece of fiery red stuff biting her lips, which should be her tongue.

He kindly took out a few Rejuvenation Pills, put them in his mouth, and then started rummaging through the chests and cabinets in the cave.

After a while, the floorboards were lifted up, but no secret passage or valuable items were found.

Wang Zhouzhou's storage bag didn't contain much: two or three hundred spirit stones, a mid-grade magic weapon, and the rest was just a house number and some women's clothing.

"Poor wretch, living in a cave with this kind of financial situation? This is... a house number? Oh, so you're moving!"

Song Chen muttered a complaint before realizing why Wang Zhouzhou had suddenly left the cave.

Since she was preparing to leave, her storage bag likely contained all her possessions, but they were relatively small and not worth his attention.

After figuring it out, Song Chen prepared to leave.

"Senior? Is Wang Zhouzhou dead?"

With the help of the Rejuvenation Pill, Jiang Manxin's injuries have mostly healed, her wounds have closed, and she is now able to walk.

"Yes, you are free."

Song Chen said calmly.

This person should be Wang Zhouzhou's slave, or perhaps a maid, but it doesn't matter what.

Suddenly, Song Chen remembered something and took out some pills from his storage bag:

"Your injury hasn't fully healed yet. You need to rest well, which will help you recover better."

Jiang Manxin stared blankly at the handsome man before her, and replied:

"Okay... By the way, senior, did you see a house number plate in Wang Zhouzhou's storage bag?"

"Is that yours?"

Song Chen tossed the bronze plaque over, and Jiang Manxin caught it, staggering as she went.

"Thank you, senior," Jiang Manxin said, her cheeks flushed.

Song Chen nodded and said directly, "There are rent collectors outside. You and I should leave this place first."

"good!"

Jiang Manxin's heart was pounding.

Isn't this a classic "twist and turn, hero saves damsel in distress" storyline?

In the future, she can cultivate with a handsome man and become a legendary couple...

Jiang Manxin kept fantasizing.

Before she could react, Song Chen scooped her up in his arms and sped away from the spot.

In a secluded corner, Song Chen and Jiang Manxin appeared.

"This is the transitional area between the residential area and the cave dwelling. Since the house number is yours, that's your home. You can go home now."

After saying that, Song Chen left directly, leaving Jiang Manxin stunned.

Isn't this script wrong?

Jiang Manxin pouted, feeling sullen.

However, she thought again that since she had already memorized Song Chen's appearance, she would eventually run into him in Fengye City.

Then, Jiang Manxin's gaze fell on the body covered in blood. In fact, the injuries had mostly healed, leaving only a few blood clots.

But Jiang Manxin was still worried about scarring and hoped her injury would heal quickly, so she looked at the bottle of pills again and thought to herself:

"Healing pills? I'd better take them quickly! Otherwise, the scars won't look good!"

There was only one pill inside the bottle, emitting a fragrant aroma that made it seem like a celestial elixir!

"I don't even know your name yet! How can we part ways like this!"

Jiang Manxin felt a surge of energy, a strong momentum, and she was determined to find Song Chen!

He swallowed the pill in one gulp.

It's sweet and tastes good.

Immediately afterwards, a wave of dizziness washed over me.

"What's going on? It's not a sanatorium...?"

Song Chen watched from afar and only felt relieved when he saw that Jiang Manxin had fainted.

Then he took out a large green leaf, which he had picked from under the tree he had just knocked down.

Placing the leaves on Jiang Manxin served as a form of shelter from the wind and rain!

Only then did he leave completely, without looking back.

This is a pill for forgetting worries; it can make you forget what has happened recently.

Song Chen can save people he's 100% sure of saving, but he's unwilling to take any risks.

It was just to save lives.

......

"Moonfall Courtyard"

This is the name of the cave dwelling.

Song Chen discovered that he seemed to have a connection with the moon, as both of his residences had the character "moon" in their names, and they actually sounded quite nice.

"Moonfall Inn" is in a good location, with neighbors on the left and right, and there are also neighbors across the street. It is well-equipped.

Unlike the previous "Quiet Moon House" which only had neighbors on one side.

Upon entering, a rich spiritual energy immediately greets you.

Song Chen took a deep breath, sending his spiritual energy into his dantian, which brought him a slight sense of comfort.

After breaking through to the peak of Qi Refining, the spiritual sea and spiritual root in his dantian transformed into a platform that continuously produced and stored spiritual liquid.

When spiritual energy enters the dantian, it increases the thickness and mass of the foundation, providing a solid base for foundation building.

However, if the base is too heavy, it may burst the dantian, which would be counterproductive.

Therefore, Song Chen could only proceed slowly and gradually improve his cultivation.

However, judging from the current situation, it is unlikely that the foundation in the dantian will burst without several years of cultivation.

In this way, absorbing spiritual energy for cultivation is currently only beneficial and has no drawbacks in terms of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

"I wonder what the rate at which others absorbed spiritual energy was when they broke through to the peak of Qi Refining?"

As Song Chen felt the spiritual energy being channeled into the base and the base slowly becoming heavier, his thoughts began to wander.

If the spiritual root becomes the base, is the rate at which it absorbs spiritual energy still determined by the spiritual root?

Can a foundation built from blood spiritual roots still be used to increase cultivation speed through blood baths?

These are all topics that need to be investigated further.

The Golden Elixir inheritance does not mention the difference in the rate at which different spiritual roots absorb spiritual energy after establishing a foundation.

Perhaps this is not important for foundation building.

Song Chen put his thoughts aside and focused his attention on the new home in front of him.

The cave was very large, with many plants growing in the courtyard, and the roof was also messy and needed to be cleaned.

Overall, apart from the dirt and mess caused by no one living there for a long time, there are no other bad things.

After a quick tidying up, Song Chen settled down here.

The days that followed were simple and unpretentious.

Because he has already broken through the peak of Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment is just around the corner, and his soul has long been repaired so that it will not affect his comprehension.

Therefore, in addition to absorbing spiritual energy and reinforcing the foundation, Song Chen would also devote some energy to mastering top-grade spells that aid in foundation building, thereby increasing the probability of success.

It was a spellbook that the Zhang family had stolen, which Du Lingxi had previously tried to learn even with her insights, but they were unable to master it.

Time changes with each passing day.

What was once an incomprehensible supreme spell is now, for Song Chen, not exactly easy or simple, but not incomprehensible or obscure either. It's just that for the more profound parts, he needs to discuss and consult with someone.

These profound insights were accumulated by Song Chen bit by bit.

He planned to wait until there was no way to avoid it and it seriously hindered his subsequent cultivation before going out all at once to find the lecturer to resolve the issue.
