日本少妇寂寞少妇aaa

However, as He Song had guessed, Meng Guan did not mention the part about inviting them for drinks in the original sound-transmitting paper crane message.

Seeing this, He Song and Wei Fan exchanged a smile and didn’t take it to heart.

Both of them knew Meng Guan’s personality well.

He would never take them out for such a drinking session.

At least, the Meng Guan of three years ago would never have done that.

It seemed the same was true for him now.

There would be no alcohol, but he was sure to express his gratitude to them in some other form.

Since Meng Guan insisted on thanking the two of them, he would indeed do so, just in another way.

He Song and Wei Fan were not worried about this.

After expressing his gratitude verbally, Meng Guan continued his story.

Over the past three years, he had worked in the Red Spirit Gold Mine, made friends with some loose cultivators, and witnessed their hard lives as well as their terrifying speed in earning spirit stones.

In the Immortal Pavilion, the annual rent they had to pay took up most of the income of a mid-stage Qi-refining cultivator.

Due to the rent, cultivators in the Immortal Pavilion were generally poorer than loose cultivators.

Loose cultivators, on the other hand, didn’t have to pay rent.

Ten spirit stones per month might not seem like much rent. However, it amounted to 120 spirit stones per year.

He Song’s current annual salary was only ninety spirit stones for personal use.

Being able to save that many spirit stones, the lives of loose cultivators were generally better off than those in the Immortal Pavilion.

It should be noted that the jobs available to loose cultivators were usually life-threatening and highly dangerous, thus their rewards were naturally higher.

Under such circumstances, compared to Immortal Pavilion cultivators, loose cultivators indeed lived more comfortably.

It’s just that cultivators in the Immortal Pavilion had a more stable lifestyle. As for loose cultivators, they faced greater danger but also had more wealth.

At this point, Meng Guan turned his gaze towards Wei Fan.

He stood up.

And saluted respectfully.

“The reason I left the Red Spirit Gold Mine this time is that I have earned enough spirit stones. I would like to invite Wei to accompany me to Green Wall Immortal City to purchase the Breakthrough Elixir.”

Meng Guan took this salute very seriously.

Even though he had known Wei Fan for so long and they had become good friends, he still treated the matter with great importance.

When Meng Guan left the Immortal Pavilion to go to the Red Spirit Gold Mine three years ago, he was already forty-three years old.

Now, three years later, he was forty-six.

He had less than fourteen years left to reach the optimal age of sixty for breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

To break through from the sixth-tier Qi Refining stage to the ninth-tier Qi Refining stage in such a short time and obtain a Foundation Establishment Elixir would be extremely difficult.

Even without the Foundation Establishment Elixir and choosing to force a breakthrough, with Meng Guan’s Five Spirits Roots aptitude, even if he successfully advanced to the seventh-tier Qi Refining stage this time, it would still be incredibly difficult to break through to the ninth-tier Qi Refining stage in such a short time.

However, in Meng Guan’s view,

since he had already resigned from his position in the Immortal Pavilion and decided to forge ahead, he needed to risk his life. Even if there was only a slim chance, he would set foot on this inevitably thorny path!

As long as he could successfully break through to the late Qi-refining stage this time, he was confident that he could cultivate to the ninth-tier Qi Refining stage before the age of sixty and make an attempt at the Foundation Establishment Realm.

As for the final outcome,

Meng Guan didn’t want to think too much about it.

Since he had decided to risk his life, there was no need to think about anything else.

The determination in Meng Guan’s eyes made He Song sit up straight.

In front of him, facing Meng Guan’s serious salute, Wei Fan’s face immediately turned serious as well.

“Lao Meng, our friendship doesn’t require such formalities. Fine, I will accompany you on this trip. It’s just a Breakthrough Elixir, and I can protect it.”

After a while, Wei Fan agreed.bender

He had thought a lot about it.

The risks of going to Green Wall Immortal City.

The danger after purchasing the Breakthrough Elixir.

The danger during Meng Guan’s breakthrough.

The possible dangers of returning to                  Pavilion.

Having considered almost all possibilities and believing that he could handle them without too much difficulty, he agreed to the request.

A Qi-refining late-stage cultivator buying a mid -stage Breakthrough Elixir is bound to come with some risks but not many.

He had confidence in handling such situations.

If Meng Guan succeeded in breaking through, there would be virtually no danger with the support of two late-stage Qi-refining cultivators.

“Thanks to you, Wei, for agreeing to accompany me to Green Wall Immortal City. If I were to go there alone, it could be dangerous, but with your company, there’s no problem.”

Upon seeing Wei Fan’s agreement, Meng Guan heaved a sigh of relief, and his old face immediately filled with joy.

Although he had anticipated Wei Fan’s agreement, when he finally agreed, Meng Guan couldn’t help but feel overjoyed.

This meant that he had not misjudged Wei Fan.

At the same time, it also meant that his trip to Green Wall Immortal City to buy the Breakthrough Elixir would now be free of hidden dangers.

Finally, it signified that the bond between him, Wei Fan, and He Song was still intact after three years had passed.

Naturally, he felt delighted at the moment and was greatly reassured.

However, just as he indulged in his joy, Wei Fan spoke up again.

He looked at He Song.

“Fellow Daoist, would you like to come with us to Green Wall Immortal City for a visit? It’s not like the Immortal Pavilion. It’s a truly bustling place.”

Since he had already agreed to go with Meng Guan to Green Wall Immortal City, bringing one more person wouldn’t hurt.

After all, He Song was already at the mid-stage of Qi Refining now. If he came along, they would have one more combatant on their side.

Although Wei Fan knew He Song’s current combat power was almost negligible, other cultivators they encountered on the way wouldn’t know that.

With strength in numbers, they might avoid some trouble.

At the same time, it would be an eye-opening experience for He Song.

Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion was just a marketplace established under the jurisdiction of Green Wall Immortal City for the convenience of nearby cultivators to trade.

The visiting cultivators were mostly low-level Qi Refining cultivators from the surrounding areas, and it was rare to see a Foundation Establishment Master.

He Song had been in Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion for almost ten years and had never seen a Foundation Establishment Master other than Master Cheng Shan.

How could such a place compare to the Immortal City?

In Immortal City, Foundation Establishment Masters were rare but there were at least several who resided there permanently.

Sometimes, there were even visiting Foundation Establishment Masters from other places.

The goods sold in the Immortal City were also of a higher grade than those found in the Immortal Pavilion.

However.

Just as Wei Fan expected He Song to agree,

He Song shook his head repeatedly after hearing what was said.

“Forget it, you guys go ahead. Immortal City has its advantages, and so does the Immortal Pavilion. For now, I prefer staying here.”

As he said this, He Song continued to wave his hands, trying to dispel Wei Fan’s idea.

Immortal City?

Why go to                      City?

He could do as he pleased in this small Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.

Even if someone offended him, he could use his connections to make them vanish off the face of the earth.

Why go to the Immortal City to be at the bottom of the hierarchy when he could be a tyrant here?

Once in Immortal City, what would his meager connections amount to?

Not to mention Wei Fan was only a seventh-tier Qi Refining cultivator. Even if he were at the ninth- tier, it was doubtful he could make a name for himself in Immortal City.

In such circumstances, the protection he could provide would naturally decrease significantly.

If He Song were to offend a Foundation Establishment cultivator in Immortal City, he might even drag Wei Fan down, and neither of them could escape.

Though this was a low-probability event, He Song felt that it was better to stay in the Immortal Pavilion for the time being since he lacked the ability to protect himself..
