Chapter 216 - 216: 208: Treasure Pavilion (3000 words)
Perhaps her feelings towards him were no longer as pure as before when they met again.
Neither He Song.
Nor su Yan.
After so many years, their mentality and status had changed completely from the past.
“Song, is it really you? I thought I was mistaken.”
Hearing He Song call her name, Su Yan’s face lit up with joy, and she immediately ran to He Song’s side, staring at him.
It seemed as if she wanted to see how He Song had changed after all these years.
“You’re not mistaken, but it’s rather noisy here. Let’s go to the teahouse for a chat.”
Waving his hand, He Song looked around.
He soon saw a teahouse.
He gestured for Su Yan to follow him and casually replied.
He Song had just entered the city and hadn’t had the chance to buy the various items he needed.
So, it was a good opportunity to catch up with Su Yan, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time.
At the side.
Seeing He Song heading to the teahouse and gesturing for her to follow, Su Yan’s face flashed a smile, and she quickly followed suit.
In the teahouse.
He Song casually ordered a private room, and he and Su Yan entered the room one after another.
When the tea was served on the table,
The two quickly began discussing their experiences over the years.
When they talked about how He Song specifically sent her a message a few years ago, telling her to flee Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.
There was a hint of lingering fear on Su Yan’s face.
“After you left Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion last time, did you come here?”
Looking at Su Yan in front of him, He Song casually asked about her recent situation.
He hadn’t learned much about Su Yan over the years.
He had just broken through the Foundation Establishment Realm and was trying to improve his combat prowess; he didn’t have any spare time to deal with these minor things.
Moreover, Su Yan didn’t tell him about these things.
So, he wasn’t particularly informed about her recent situation.
“Yes, thanks to Song’s warning back then, otherwise, I might have died in that catastrophe.”
“I’m grateful to Song.”
Facing He Song’s question, Su Yan answered and even made a proper bow to He Song to show her gratitude.
Had it not been for He Song’s message,
She might have died in Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.
Naturally, she would express her gratitude to He Song again upon meeting him now.
“By the way, Song, you must have something to do in the city this time. Can you tell me?”
“I’m very familiar with Green Wall Immortal City now, and I can help you with whatever you want to do.”
It seemed as if a verbal thank you was too bland, so Su Yan decided to show her gratitude through practical actions after thinking about it.
On this matter,
He Song considered,
And his heart was moved a little at that.
He knew the city of Green Wall, but he didn’t know which shops sold the materials he needed for puppet making.
In that case, it’s better for Su Yan to tell him where these valuable materials are sold, so he wouldn’t have to go to each shop and inquire.
With that thought,
He Song agreed.
“Then, I’ll thank you, Yan. This time, I need to buy some materials.” “Here’s the list of materials; you can see which shops in the city can supply them.”
He Song didn’t forget to take out a piece of thin paper from his storage bag while he spoke.
He infused his mana into his fingertip, and soon several lines of material names that were needed for the Puppet Refining Skill were left on the thin paper.
“Green Spirit Water, Dark God Crystal, Ink Copper, Black True Silk…” Dense material names were engraved on the thin paper by He Song.
He handed the paper to Su Yan, and a mysterious light flashed in his eyes.
There was no concealment of the materials on the paper.
The materials needed for making a Foundation Establishment Realm puppet were quite valuable.
Even if Su Yan remembered these materials, she would not be able to replicate He Song’s actions in buying these materials and refining them into puppets.
Without the Spirit Puppet Skill, these materials were just materials.
Even if other puppet techniques were used, these materials wouldn’t amount to much.
Thus, it was better for Su Yan, who had lived in Green Wall Immortal City for a long time and knew the city like the back of her hand, to take a look at the materials.
Perhaps she could save him some time and point him in the right direction.
Of course,
Su Yan could only guide the way.
The next purchase stage had to be done by He Song himself.
If He Song really let Su Yan make the purchase, she might bring death upon herself.
Although He Song would definitely choose to follow her at the time,
But what would happen to the ninth-tier Qi Refining Su Yan after He Song left? He Song didn’t even need to think about how miserable Su Yan would be by then.
Therefore, He Song wouldn’t push Su Yan into the fire pit.
Even if it were a stranger he didn’t know, he wouldn’t let them suffer these consequences.
There was no need for it.
And it was too cruel. After receiving the paper from He Song,
Su Yan looked down.
She was quickly attracted by the various materials listed on the paper.
After a long time,
When she had looked over all the materials listed on the paper, Su Yan looked up at He Song.
“Many of these materials are unfamiliar to me, so they should be quite precious. If Song wants to find them, you can go to the Treasure Pavilion in the city.”
“There are branches of the Treasure Pavilion in every major Immortal City, and it should be able to meet Song’s requirements.”
“Even if the Treasure Pavilion here doesn’t have the items, they can be transferred from other branches, and they should be able to find them quickly.”
“As for other shops, I don’t think they have these things, so Song doesn’t need to waste his time.”
Returning the paper to He Song, Su Yan’s cheeks reddened slightly, feeling as if she hadn’t been able to help at all, and a trace of disappointment filled her heart.
However, she didn’t know.
With her words, He Song had already managed to avoid many detours.
As for the Treasure Pavilion, He Song had naturally heard of it before.
At the auction held by the Treasure Pavilion every three years, Foundation Establishment Elixirs would occasionally appear.
Although the timing of this “occasionally” was a bit uncertain, sometimes it was a decade or two apart, and sometimes it was several decades apart.
But it gave the loose cultivators some hope.
As a result, the reputation of the Treasure Pavilion spread far and wide, and countless cultivators came to know of it.
He Song had simply forgotten about it because he had never been to the Treasure Pavilion before.
Remembering it now saved him a lot of trouble. “Thank you, Yan’er.”
After thanking Su Yan, He Song nodded to her.
He then took out a few bottles of Qi Condensing Elixirs for improving one’s cultivation in the late stage of Qi Refining from his storage bag.
These elixirs were worth hundreds of spirit stones.
They would serve as a thank-you gift for Su Yan’s help this time.
For Su Yan, this gift was something she could keep and the best present He Song could give her.
If the gift was too valuable,
With her ninth-tier Qi Refining strength, she might not be able to keep it,
And it might even bring about her death.
After presenting these elixirs as his thank-you gift,
He Song took his leave.
For the matters to come,
Su Yan could no longer be involved, and He Song didn’t want to involve her either.
It was better for both parties to say goodbye.
He Song left alone-
And quickly went to an inn where, after spending ten spirit stones to rent a room for ten days,
He changed his appearance and used the Breath Concealment Skill to disguise his cultivation as Qi Refining great perfection.
Then, clad in a black robe, he left the inn.
With his changed appearance, He Song believed that no one in Green Wall Immortal City could recognize him anymore.
Thus, he confidently headed straight to the Treasure Pavilion.
As He Song revealed himself to be at the level of Qi Refining great perfection, after entering the Treasure Pavilion, he was quickly ushered into the VIP room.
Inside the VIP room-
“I am Jiang Fei, may I know your honorable name, my friend?”
After leading He Song into the VIP room, Jiang Fei, a cultivator at the ninth-tier of Qi Refining with a fortune-filled face, immediately asked.
In his view, He Song’s current cultivation of Qi Refining great perfection might make him a big spender.
Naturally, his attitude towards He Song was quite good.
“I am the loose cultivator Chen Zhou. I came here to purchase some materials; please have a look.”
Faced with Jiang Fei’s inquiry, He Song casually mentioned Chen Zhou’s name.
Chen Zhou-
He had been killed by Wei Fan on He Song’s request decades ago.
Using this person’s name, He Song didn’t have to worry about his identity being discovered by others, nor did he have to worry about them investigating Chen Zhou.
What could one investigate about a person who had been dead for decades?
As he reported his name, He Song handed the paper in his hand to Jiang Fei.
The materials on the paper had not been deliberately added or subtracted by He Song.
They were the same as before when he showed them to Su Yan, without any modification.
Although these materials were precious, they were all for refining puppets.
Jiang Fei or the Treasure Pavilion, even if they knew He Song was buying these materials to refine puppets, would not have any intentions towards these materials.
Just like cooking-
You buy some ribs to take home.
Who knows if you bought the ribs to make sweet and sour ribs, stewed ribs, braised ribs or rib soup?
Without the Spirit Puppet Skill, even if Jiang Fei or the Treasure Pavilion had the same materials, they couldn’t refine spirit puppets.
He Song was not worried about this at all.
Instead of worrying about this, it’s better to let himself make fewer trips and finish collecting the materials here.
As a result-
Seeing the paper handed over by He Song, Jiang Fei quickly began to quote prices.
For a Foundation Establishment Realm spirit puppet-
The required materials, apart from some less valuable ones used for internal purposes, were needed for extremely tough and solid materials to be used in areas such as attack weapons and body defense.
These materials, which were at least capable of withstanding attacks at the Foundation Establishment Realm level or posing a threat to a Foundation Establishment Master, were naturally expensive.
As Jiang Fei quoted prices one after another,
The number of spirit stones in He Song’s storage bag gradually decreased.
However, fortunately, He Song had a large number of spirit stones, and he still had more than 100,000 left after his continuous accumulation and consumption.
Although he had used many spirit stones over the years,
before he left the Thick Earth Sect, he was able to harvest more than 10,000 or nearly 20,000 spirit stones per year.
Under such circumstances, He Song had spent a full ten years within the Thick Earth Sect.
Plus the remaining spirit stones, if all had been saved, He Song would probably have more than 200,000.
He had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm in these years, and his consumption had been huge.
As a result, he only had a little over 100,000 spirit stones left in savings.
However, even so-
More than 100,000 spirit stones were enough to support his current spending.
The materials for making spirit puppets were indeed precious, but the spirit puppets He Song wanted to make were not large, only ordinary human-sized ones, not exotic spirit puppets.
The spirit stones spent on these materials were not particularly terrifying-
With just under 20,000 spirit stones, He Song had bought enough materials to make a spirit puppet.
Nevertheless-
He Song did not stop buying them..
