Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 235 - 235: 227: Danger Approaches

However, that didn’t stop him from leaving some backup plans for himself in advance.

Moreover.

Even if he was prepared to travel elsewhere and find some refuge for himself.

Getting more familiar with the surroundings so that when he was about to flee, he’d have a place to settle down and be more familiar with the surrounding situation.

But He Song didn’t plan to leave Thick Earth Sect directly.

If he could continue to stay in the Thick Earth Sect, there would naturally be benefits for He Song.

He had been coveting the ‘Golden Elixir Skill Means” in the Book Collection Pavilion of Thick Earth Sect for a long time.

But he hadn’t had the chance to see them.

If he left Thick Earth Sect, perhaps the “Golden Elixir Skill Means” in the Book Collection Pavilion of the sect would be out of reach.

This was also why He Song had already heard that Thick Earth Sect had begun preparations for war but didn’t choose to leave directly. Instead, he prepared several backup plans for himself.

If he really left the Thick Earth Sect directly.

What would happen to the “Golden Elixir Skill Means”?

As his thoughts flashed through his mind, He Song’s gaze turned toward the direction of the Thick Earth Sect’s entrance.

He shook his head, extended his divine sense, and casually swept it without alerting other cultivators. It quickly locked onto Fang Yu’s aura.

He Song’s divine sense had grown so strong that he could now perceive everything within twenty meters of him.

So when searching for someone with his divine sense, he didn’t need to worry about it affecting other cultivators.

Even if they were more than twenty meters apart, He Song could easily sense their auras.

In this way, there was no need to probe the other party with divine sense. All he had to do was approach them with his divine sense, and he could find them.

To find Fang Yu.

As long as he was within the coverage of He Song’s divine sense, he could find him in an instant.

Finding Fang Yu’s location, He Song didn’t delay and appeared in front of him with a flash.

Within a small courtyard not far from He Song’s mansion.

Fang Yu was originally frowning in thought.

But suddenly, his vision darkened as He Song’s figure blocked the sunlight in front of him.

Raising his head unconsciously to look at He Song, Fang Yu quickly saw He

Song’s expressionless face staring at him.

For a moment, Fang Yu’s face twitched, and after a swallow, he quickly bowed down.

“Subordinate Fang Yu pays respect to Master Cang Song. I didn’t know of your arrival, Master. Please forgive my lack of a proper welcome.”

As he spoke, beads of sweat appeared on Fang Yu’s forehead, and a flash of fear appeared in his eyes. He wondered what he had done wrong.

It had been over a decade since He Song arrived at the Herbs Immortal Workshop.

In that time, Fang Yu had only seen He Song’s face twice.

The rest of the time, he had only watched from a distance, never being summoned by He Song.

Once was when He Song first arrived.

And now.

To this day, he still remembered the scene when he wanted to meet He Song for the first time and report the matters of the Immortal Pavilion, but instead ended up encountering a familiar figure.

More than a decade ago, he had followed He Song’s orders.

At the end of the first month, he went to He Song’s mansion to report on the affairs of the Immortal Pavilion.

But when he arrived at He Song’s mansion, what he saw was not He Song. Instead, it was a Qi-refining late-stage cultivator who, in his eyes, had been dead for a long time.

He wasn’t alarmed by this because he knew that the Puppet Refining Skill was not uncommon in the Cultivation World.

However, the previous Master Guardian of the Herbs Immortal Workshop, Master Ningyin, possessed this Puppet Refining Skill.

And it seemed that this new Master Cang Song also had this Puppet Refining Skill.

Wasn’t this coincidence a little too perfect?

At that time, he had some suspicions.

Perhaps the Cang Song who had appointed him as Supervisor of the Immortal Pavilion had died at some point, and the supposedly departed Master Ningyin had secretly retaken the position of Master Guardian of Herbs Immortal Workshop.

Only then could he explain why both Master Ningyin and Master Cang Song had the Puppet Refining Skill.

And at that time, it had only been a month since He Song arrived. How could the Puppet Refining be so fast?

Fang Yu thought back to his past speculation.

As a result, the already bowed head of Fang Yu lowered even further. He didn’t even dare to look at He Song’s face.

Fearing that a single misstep would incur the wrath of the old monster before him.

Although he wasn’t sure if his speculation was correct, facing a Foundation Establishment Master, even the smallest probability could result in his death.

For the sake of his own life.

Even if the Cang Song before him was still the original Cang Song, he had to show the proper demeanor of a subordinate.

Otherwise, one misstep would mean losing everything.

Seeing this situation, He Song, who was completely unaware of Fang Yu’s thoughts, had a flash of doubt in his eyes.

What’s going on?

Had he become so terrifying that his own subordinate didn’t even dare to look at him?

Or was it.

That this Fang Yu before him was as timid as a mouse and couldn’t handle significant tasks?

A hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes.

He Song looked at Fang Yu without saying anything, just watching him silently.

A moment later.

Only when Fang Yu was sweating profusely and panicking to the point of feeling like he was about to die did He Song leisurely withdraw his gaze.

He then casually spoke.

“I am going to leave the Immortal Pavilion for a while, to find opportunities elsewhere.”

“I will entrust the Herbs Immortal Workshop to you while I am gone. Over the past decade, you have worked diligently, and I have noticed that.” “I’ll leave the Herbs Immortal Workshop in your hands for now. I trust you.”

“However, if something serious happens that only a Foundation Establishment cultivator can resolve, you can send someone to ask for help from the Master Guardian of the Wolf Immortal Pavilion.”

“For the rest, just continue as usual.”

After saying this, He Song didn’t wait for Fang Yu’s response or rebuttal.

His figure then drifted away.

Only Fang Yu was left behind, his head still bowed and cold sweat covering his face.

As the light in front of him suddenly brightened and the sound of He Song’s voice disappeared, Fang Yu’s heart relaxed a bit.

Luckily, he had survived.

However, why did Master Cang Song come to inform him about his departure?

Didn’t he worry that Fang Yu would leak this information and bring trouble to the Thick Earth Sect?

If a Foundation Establishment cultivator leaves his post without reason, severe consequences could follow.

As this thought flashed through his mind, Fang Yu wanted to lift his head, but saw the light in front of him suddenly darken again.

Upon seeing this, Fang Yu’s head instantly lowered once more.

As expected, He Song’s voice echoed in his ears again.

“By the way, don’t spread the news of my temporary departure. If the Thick

Earth Sect has any inquiries, I’ll use you as a scapegoat.”

As his voice faded away, He Song’s figure disappeared once again.

When the light in front of him brightened again, Fang Yu hesitated to lift his head, afraid that He Song would return.

Without looking up, he worried about being discovered by other people in this appearance – what should he do then?

After some hesitation,

Thinking that He Song didn’t return, Fang Yu wiped the cold sweat from his face and looked around cautiously.

Fortunately, He Song had already left the room.

Seeing this scene, Fang Yu finally breathed a long sigh of relief and collapsed into a chair nearby.

Dealing with a Foundation Establishment cultivator like He Song had been too much pressure.

Fortunately, he had managed to keep his life intact.

Fang Yu sighed deeply in his heart, his face showing a hint of satisfaction.

On the other hand,

He Song had already packed up all his belongings.

Except for the five Medicine Gardens he established after arriving and anything Yu’er couldn’t carry, everything else was put into his storage bag.

As for the Medicine Gardens, they were left in place.

He Song casually tossed Yu’er into one of the gardens.

As a turtle-type spirit beast, it probably wouldn’t starve to death while He Song was away.

Once everything was ready and all of his belongings were on him, He Song’s figure sank into the ground using the Earth Tunneling Skill and headed to a distant place.

Since he needed to keep his departure from the Immortal Pavilion a secret, He Song couldn’t just use the tunneling light to leave the Herbs Immortal Workshop in front of everyone.

This time, He Song left the Herbs Immortal Workshop to create hidden cave mansions in other places.

At the same time, he would also need to observe the surrounding environment to avoid getting lost when escaping in the future.

Familiarizing himself with the environment in advance would give He Song some peace of mind.

At this moment,

He Song was in the territory of the former Seven Star Sect, where the Herbs

Immortal Workshop under the jurisdiction of Jade Immortal City was located.

Jade Immortal City was situated to the west of the former Seven Star Sect’s territory,

Which neighbored the Pure Yin Sect in the west.

To the south was the territory of the Thick Earth Sect,

And to the north were the areas bordering other Golden Core Demon Sects supported by the God Locking Sect.

He Song didn’t have much knowledge of those Golden Core Demon Sects.

When he had read books at the Thick Earth Sect’s Book Collection Pavilion, he only knew that the Seven Star Sect was in the north of the Thick Earth Sect.

As for the Demonic Sects north of the Seven Star Sect, He Song wasn’t concerned.

However, it didn’t matter. He Song’s main goal in leaving the Herbs Immortal

Workshop was to create hidden cave mansions elsewhere, not to fight with Demon Cultivators.

He certainly wouldn’t go to the territory of those Golden Core Demon Sects.

Instead, he would visit the territories of other righteous Golden Core Sects around the Thick Earth Sect, or even go to the territories of the Nascent Soul

Upper Sects like the Sun Faction, to create concealed cave mansions.

As for now,

After careful consideration, He Song decided to travel west. After leaving the Herbs Immortal Workshop and traveling dozens of miles, his figure emerged from the ground and used the Blood Escape Skill, transforming into a water-blue escape light, heading westward.

The west was the territory of the Pure Yin Sect,

Since He Song wanted to create hidden cave mansions elsewhere, it was only natural to visit the nearest Pure Yin Sect.

Moreover,

If possible, He Song also wanted to establish a hidden cave mansion within the Thick Earth Sect’s territory, not far from Herbs Immortal Workshop.

That way, even if he missed the best opportunity to leave the Thick Earth Sect, he could quickly evacuate the Herbs Immortal Workshop and hide in the concealed cave mansion nearby to avoid disaster..
