Chapter 201 - 201: 201: Demonic Cultivator
At the same time, she made a promise to He Song.
She felt there was merit in what He Song had mentioned earlier about the color of tunneling light and all other matters regarding entry into the Immortal City.
At present, while He Song had not discussed with her the key points of controlling a spirit boat, he had shown her a clear path.
To journey.
It didn’t necessarily have to be through the sky nor by steering a spirit boat.
The Earth Tunneling Skill, is also a viable mode of travel.
Although it may seem a bit unconventional for a cultivator, it wins in terms of safety.
Travelling by using Earth Tunneling Skill could not only evade others but also significantly improve one’s safety.
Thus, it was indeed an ideal way to travel.
Especially in a situation where one’s power was insufficient.
Although she had successfully achieved Foundation Establishment and reached the early stage of Foundation Establishment, it’s better to be safe than sorry.
Suppose one day she needed to leave the Immortal Pavilion without being noticed, the Earth Tunneling Skill would naturally make sense.
“My junior sister is thoughtful.”
Ping’er planned to learn not only the Breath Concealment Skill but also the Earth Tunneling Skill.
This approach made He Song admire her even more.
She was really keen on making the most of everything he taught her.
Although she had her reasons for doing so, He Song became even more willing to teach her some survival techniques.
Perhaps, in the future, he would see another survivor besides himself?
He manipulated the spirit boat to fly in the sky.
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
During this half a month, He Song steered the spirit boat and had left the influence of the Thick Earth Sect, entering the Seven Star Sect’s sphere of influence.
Therefore, during this half a month He Song steered the spirit boat, the three of them had always been within the sphere of influence of the Thick Earth Sect.
However, the distance from the gate of the Thick Earth Sect had increased substantially.
One day, as He Song steered the spirit boat forward, a lush medicine field appeared in the distance. Spiritual plant farmers were tending various spirit medicines in these fields.
There was an Immortal Pavilion.
“We’ve reached the Herbs Immortal Workshop. We’ve been on the road for quite a while, perhaps my junior sisters would like to rest at the Pavilion. After dusting off, we can continue our journey to Jade Immortal City to meet Master
Qingy Yue.”
“As the Master Guardian of the Herbs Immortal Workshop, I can offer some conveniences.”
He Song steered the spirit boat straight towards the Herbs Immortal Workshop.
Carrying Ping’er and Chu Shuangshuang with him was originally just for sharing the journey.
But as they travelled together, He Song began to have some thoughts.
Suppose there were any diabolism practitioners hiding in the newly taken over workshop.
Suppose some secret that he couldn’t handle alone was hidden in there.
Suppose there was a contingency left by the Seven Star Sect.
Suppose…
Although the Thick Earth Sect now almost completely occupies all of the Seven Star Sect’s territory.
Whether the Herbs Immortal Workshop that he needed to guard was in danger, He Song didn’t know.
Better safe than sorry.
In case something happened that he couldn’t handle alone, how could he possibly deal with it?
But…
With the genuine Master Ping’er, his safety would naturally escalate. The combined power of two genuine Masters was far greater than one plus one.
In a case like this, if they had to face together any diabolism practitioner, any secret that one couldn’t deal with, any contingency left by the Seven Star Sect, at least they had the chance to escape.
It was safer than going to the Herbs Immortal Workshop alone.
Therefore, without a second thought, He Song brought them to the Herbs Immortal Workshop he was supposed to guard and invited them in.
His goal was naturally to ensure his own safety.
As for going all out to escort them to the Jade Immortal City after his own matters were finished, He Song did not have this intention.
Ping’er was a genuine Master, she could take Chu Shuangshuang to the Jade Immortal City.
He didn’t have any other business to see Master Qingy Yue.
It was imperative to quickly take charge at the Herbs Immortal Workshop.
Otherwise, if something happened after he left, he would be the one at a loss.
To ensure that no accidents occurred at the Herbs Immortal Workshop due to his absence, He Song wasn’t planning to escort Ping’er and Chu Shuangshuang to Jade Immortal City anymore.
Anyway, the distance to Jade Immortal City and Wolf Immortal Pavilion wasn’t far.
Even a Qi-refining mid stage cultivator wouldn’t face danger over such a short distance.
“Is this the herb immortal workshop that you’re guarding, Elder Brother? Elder Sister, why don’t we go and take a look together?”
“You’re right, Elder Brother, it would be inappropriate to meet the Master straight away after such a long journey.”
“Moreover, your takeover of this immortal workshop can serve as a learning experience for your Junior Sister.”
“By the time Junior Sister takes over the Wolf Immortal Pavilion, she should already know the process of taking over an immortal workshop.”
Upon hearing He Song’s words, Ping’er thought briefly and then, her eyes lighting up, she took the opportunity to ask Chu Shuangshuang who was next to her.
In her view, if she could stay with He Song and go through the process of taking over an immortal workshop together, it would make her feel more prepared when it was her turn to take over the Wolf Immortal Pavilion.
At that time, she would naturally know what to do and when to do it.
At least, with He Song guiding her through the process, she would not be fooled by those from the Wolf Immortal Pavilion. “Alright, we’ll do as you suggest.”
Chu Shuangshuang nodded in agreement.
The way Ping’er and Chu Shuangshuang addressed each other did not change even after Ping’er had achieved Foundation Establishment.
The two had always addressed each other as elder and younger sister since they met, indicating they had a good relationship.
Upon hearing this, He Song did not say much more. He just nodded at the two of them, then steered the spirit boat towards the sky above the Herb Immortal Workshop.
The White Jade Boat hovered over the Herb Immortal Workshop.
He Song stayed on the White Jade Boat, standing peacefully as he waited.
Herb Immortal Workshop.
The normally tranquil Herb Immortal Workshop quickly became restless at the sudden arrival of the White Jade Boat.
One cultivator after another emerged from their homes, looking up at the White Jade Boat in the sky.
Those already on the streets turned their shining eyes up towards the White Jade Boat overhead.
Even the spiritual plant farmers who were out working in the fields around the workshop all looked up into the sky, staring at the White Jade Boat where He Song and the others were.
In a short span of time,
the Herb Immortal Workshop was in a state of clamor, as if boiling with excitement.
“A Foundation Establishment Master, it’s the arrival of a Foundation Establishment Master. The previous guardian of this place has disappeared. I bet this is the new guardian…”
“Ah, we used to work under the Seven Star Sect, it had someone watching out for us, those were easier times, but now…”
“Shh, keep it down, if rumor gets out, you’ll be left without a burial place.”
“What’s there to be afraid of? We demon cultivators are inherently different from the orthodox cultivators of the Thick Earth Sect. If we start acting like cowards, we might as well stop cultivating diabolism.”
“Get out of here, if you want to die, go do it yourself. Don’t drag me into this.”
While the low-level loose cultivators and workshop cultivators were abuzz with conversation,
the senior figures at the Herb Immortal Workshop had already gathered together.
Inside a small courtyard filled with cultivators, the atmosphere was tense.
“Let’s go. Regardless of whether this person is the Master who is here to guard the workshop or not, let’s go and greet this Foundation Establishment Master according to our original plan.”
After a moment, an elderly voice spoke.
The high-level cultivators in the courtyard all silently exited the courtyard one after another.
Their expressions were noticeably unusual.
Although their eyes were bright, compared to the other cultivators, theirs were dull and lifeless. As if they were being controlled by someone, like puppets.
As time passed slowly,
all the senior figures in the Herb Immortal Workshop were already waiting in the central mansion within the workshop.
In the sky, He Song retracted his deployed divine sense at this moment.
He opened his eyes.
His gaze swept across the multitude of Qi Refining cultivators below who were keenly anticipating something.
He then glanced back at Ping’er and Chu Shuangshuang.
There was an indifferent look in He Song’s eyes.
“This method… is indeed worthy of a practitioner diabolism.”
“However… to think they could conceal this from a Foundation Establishment Master’s examination, are they looking down on the Thick Earth Sect? Or are they looking down on me?”
“It’s good that Ping’er was with me this time. Otherwise, I might have had to secretly rush to the Jade Immortal City and ask for external assistance to encircle and kill this person.”
Just now, as soon as the White Jade Boat hovered over the Herb Immortal Workshop, He Song had extended his divine sense.
He did not use his divine sense to scan each of the cultivators below. A divine sense scan, like a large hand sweeping over, would be immediately detected.
But there was another method that could provide him with all kinds of information about his surroundings without being detected.
Once his divine sense was extended, He Song could vaguely sense the people, objects, and even sounds within a ten-meter radius.
Under these circumstances,
He Song simply needed to extend his divine sense and maintain a certain distance from the surrounding cultivators.
This would allow him to inspect or eavesdrop on a cultivator’s skills, items, and conversations.
As long as there were no magic formations to block his divine sense or prevent it from investigating, this method was infallible.
Upon learning that his divine sense could be used in this way,
He Song had some speculations regarding why Meng Guan and Wei Fan had only hinted at certain ideas but never spoken them out loud when he asked them about the Thick Earth Sect’s recent developments in the past..
