Chapter 117
On his way back after bidding farewell to Meng Yan, Qi Ping made a detour to deliver a few jars of honey, corresponding to mid-level Rank 1 spiritual medicine, to Sister Nan.
He still had a relatively ample supply of spiritual medicine at his current level, and helping Sister Nan break through to the late Qi Refining stage was something he had decided to do earlier.
Once Sister Nan reached the late Qi Refining stage and the chaos in Qingshi County settled down, she would be able to live quite comfortably.
As long as a rogue cultivator at this level concealed their strength, avoided competing for rare resources and techniques, and simply tended to a piece of Rank 1 spiritual land, they could enjoy a very comfortable life.
Free from illness and pain, with a lifespan of around 150 to 200 years—this could be considered the most comfortable state.
Qi Ping had heard from Old Man Zhou about an uncle in the Cloudy Mist Mountains who was at the late Qi Refining stage and lived exactly like this.
Having given up hope of building his foundation, this uncle moved to a low-grade Rank 1 spiritual land where mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators gathered. He didn’t have to worry about the resources he earned attracting envy, as no cultivator would risk offending a late Qi Refining cultivator for such meager gains.
The uncle’s only hobby was creating various delicious foods, reportedly because he had often gone hungry during his time as a mortal.
This choice had indeed brought him a fulfilling life. With simple desires and no worldly attachments, he was able to fulfill his lifelong wish of tasting all kinds of delicacies.
