For He Song as he was now,
the most important thing was to raise his cultivation to the peak of the Nascent Soul Middle Stage as soon as possible,
then attempt a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Late Stage.
With that thought flashing through his mind, He Song quickly immersed himself in cultivation.
However,
since He Song had already completely refined the medicinal power of the Nine-Turn Dragon-Scale Fruit,
he no longer needed to enter seclusion with single-minded focus as he had before.
He Song soon returned to his previous routine, cultivating in seclusion for only a few days at a time before checking on the outside world.
That way, even if He Song remained in seclusion for a long time, it would cause no problems.
For throughout his seclusion, he would continuously receive information from the outside world.
He would not become disconnected from it.
Previously, while He Song had been in seclusion refining the Nine-Turn Dragon-Scale Fruit, he had likewise received a steady stream of outside information.
Yet he had only occasionally skimmed through it before tossing it to the back of his mind.
Immersed in refining the fruit's medicinal power, he had not had the leisure to pay much attention to it.
Therefore, after He Song successfully refined the medicinal power of the Nine-Turn Dragon-Scale Fruit and began his path of secluded cultivation,
he quickly began sorting through the information from the outside world.
In truth, He Song had not spent very long completely refining the Nine-Turn Dragon-Scale Fruit.
It had taken only twenty years.
And those twenty years
were not considered long for any Nascent Soul Cultivator.
Thus, He Song soon organized all the news that had reached him over those twenty years.
Over those twenty years,
nothing especially earth-shaking had occurred in the outside world.
