As long as the person isn't attacking me, it's fine.

"So it's Mrs. Lin, I thought an evil cultivator was attacking..."

After confirming that it was Lin Cong and not sensing any murderous intent, He Song greeted her with cupped hands.

Having said that, He Song glanced at the earthy yellow barrier surrounding him. Although he seemed relieved, he didn't regret having used the Thick Earth Amulet worth five spirit stones.

No matter how many spirit stones one has, they are worthless if you're not alive to use them.

Moreover, carrying spirit amulets is for preserving one's own life, right?

Although there was a scare this time, He Song didn't think he could always escape danger like this.

It was just an amulet. After all, my life is extremely precious.

He should remain vigilant at all times in the future.

If he dies, that would be a huge loss. free(w)ebnovel

"I have alarmed you, my friend. I, Lin Cong, have returned from injury and wanted to quickly return to my room to heal. I didn't expect to disturb you." Lin Cong glanced at the bloodstains on her body and the earthy barrier around He Song, she said with an awkward expression.

Who would have thought that just by walking faster, she would scare her neighbor into using a Thick Earth Amulet?

Are all cultivators so cautious these days?

However, Lin Cong's awkward expression quickly disappeared, and she took out five spirit stones from her sleeve and placed them in He Song's hand.

"Here are five spirit stones. Consider it payment for your Thick Earth Amulet. I hope you don't mind," said Lin Cong.

After speaking, her face suddenly turned red.

After coughing heavily twice, she greeted He Song with cupped palms and turned to enter her room.

"I'll be going in to heal my injuries, feel free to do as you please."

He Song wanted to refuse the five spirit stones from Lin Cong, but he saw that her injuries seemed to worsen, and she needed to heal immediately.

It is not a good time to stop her and might upset Lin Cong.

So he stopped talking, entered his room, and locked the door.

In the dim room,

He Song lit a lamp, illuminating the surroundings, and sat quietly at the table.

It wasn't until this moment that He's mind calmed down a bit.

Even when talking to Lin Cong earlier, He Song had never let down his guard.

He Song's thoughts wandered as he recalled the events that had just transpired.

From the start, he had heard Lin Cong's footsteps.

Then smelling the blood before listening to Lin's reminder, to using his Thick Earth Amulet and talking face to face with Lin Cong.

After reviewing all the details,

He Song breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that this incident was truly just a coincidence.

The severely injured Lin Cong had no motive to attack him.

Moreover, his clothes were enough to deter most loose cultivators.

Indeed, he was too cautious.

A small loss, though,

looking at the five spirit stones on the table, a hint of helplessness flashed across He Song's eyes.

Although he lost a Thick Earth Amulet, he gained five spirit stones.

It was neither a gain nor a loss,

"This Lin Cong is quite fair. Although, it's probably because of the clothes I'm wearing that they compensated me with these spirit stones, right?"

Five spirit stones are not a small sum for a first-tier Qi Refining practitioner.

The other party gave them readily,

He Song thought it had a lot to do with the clothes he was wearing.

If it were someone else, Lin Cong might not have given the spirit stones so generously.

Shaking his head, He Song discarded the thoughts from his mind.

He Song's gaze soon became profound.

Some days ago,

when he first met Lin Cong, she had a daunting appearance, with fierce eyes and muscular physique, like a humanoid demonic beast, utterly fierce at first glance.

Back then, she said she had important matters and left.

It had been only a few days, and she returned with serious injuries.

Although He Song didn't know what had happened to her, he suspected that it wasn't a good thing for Lin Cong.

Lin Cong was only a third-tier Qi Refining practitioner with seemingly incredible combat capabilities. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝒄𝒐𝓶

However, outside the Immortal Pavilion, all sorts of dangers could lead to death.

It's not just that Lin Cong returned injured,

Even if Lin Cong had fallen never to return, He Song wouldn't be surprised.

However, Lin Cong's return with injuries only made He Song more confident in his decision to stay at the Immortal Pavilion and cultivate slowly.

Loose cultivators,

especially those who live by the edge of a knife, have a high mortality rate.

Even if they make a lot of money for a while, most of them will die unnatural deaths.

Ultimately, breaking Qi Refining Stage becomes even rarer, let alone reaching Foundation Establishment.

You need the best of luck for such an achievement.

As long as he stays in Immortal Pavilion and cultivates slowly, he will eventually break through the Qi Refining Mid Stage, Qi Refining Late Stage, and even Foundation Establishment Stage...

As an everlasting being,

he just needs a safe environment to keep growing stronger.

Even if it takes a long time,

But... is it time that he, who has achieved immortality, lacks?

Thoughts churned in his mind.

Seeing the injured Lin Cong today made He Song more determined on his future path.

After pondering for a moment,

He Song extinguished the lamp and began to meditate.

However, despite being in a meditative state, He Song remained alert to Lin Cong's movements in the adjacent room.

In the first half of the night, He Song heard coughing and pained groans from next door.

In the second half of the night, the sounds from next door subsided, and no more noises were heard.

From then on, until daybreak, He Song no longer heard any noise coming from next door.

When the golden sunlight fell from the sky,

he opened his eyes as the warmth enveloped his body, his gaze thoughtful as he looked at the room where Lin Cong was.

He Song got up and left his room.

First, he went to his spirit field to perform the Spirit Rain Skill.

After making a round around the spirit field and not finding any abnormalities, He Song returned to the Stall Section inside the Immortal Pavilion.

Yesterday, he had used a Thick Earth Amulet, leaving only one on him.

But Lin Cong gave him five spirit stones in return.

Naturally, He Song needed to exchange those five spirit stones for a new Thick Earth Amulet.

With only one Thick Earth Amulet on him, He Song always felt somewhat unsafe.

At the Stall Section,

He Song haggled with the amulet seller for a long time.

In the end, his bargain attempt failed, and he had to pay the original price of five spirit stones for a new Thick Earth Amulet.

What could he do?

The amulet business is tough, and the price of five spirit stones has been stable for a long time.

He Song carefully placed the new Thick Earth Amulet, along with the one he already had, into the most accessible part of his sleeve.

In the future, he must not face a situation like last night, when the enemy came near him, and he couldn't activate the amulet in time.
