Chapter 260 - 260: 252: Late Foundation Establishment
Meng Guan and Wei Fan were telling various interesting events in the Heaven Power Immortal City.
Master Bai Yun and Master Xuan He also frequently chimed in, so He Song got to know more about this Heaven Power Immortal City.
And He Song, when he in the mood, would occasionally talk about his experiences at the Herbs Immortal Workshop.
The group of five had a harmonious atmosphere.
As their conversations continued, He Song began to understand why Meng Guan and Wei Fan were able to report to the Sect Leader and had him transferred here.
He had wondered about this when he first met them.
Master Bai Yun, Master Xuan He, Meng Guan, and Wei Fan between them held all the four major guardian positions in Heaven Power Immortal City.
In an immortal city, there could be at most four Masters in the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment serving as guardians.
But what about now?
When He Song arrived, there were already four guardians here.
In this situation, He Song’s status would become quite awkward.
However.
When his eyes inadvertently grazed over Master Bai Yun, he had an epiphany.
Master Bai Yun was in the late Foundation Establishment Stage.
However, looking at his fluctuating cultivation, he must have just broken through to the late Foundation Establishment Stage not long ago.
But a late Foundation Establishment Stage was a late Foundation Establishment Stage after all.
He couldn’t stay in Heaven Power Immortal City forever.
After a few years, when his combat prowess is steady, Master Bai Yun would naturally be transferred back to the hill gate of the Thick Earth Sect to be part of its foundation.
And He Song arrived at the Heaven Power Immortal City at this time, to start getting acquainted with everything here.
By the time Master Bai Yun leaves.
As long as He Song’s cultivation could keep up, he could replace Master Bai Yun’s position, and legitimately settle down in Heaven Power Immortal City.
By then, He Song’s status would naturally no longer be awkward.
It seems.
That the relationship between Meng Guan, Wei Fan, and Master Bai Yun was very good.
Otherwise, this situation wouldn’t have occurred.
However, the fact that He Song’s cultivation is on the verge of reaching the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment also plays a part.
If his cultivation was not about to break through to the mid- Foundation Establishment Stage, then he would not have been considered for this seat.
Of course, the existence of such a seat.
Mostly depends on the relationship between them.
The relationship between Meng Guan, Wei Fan and Master Bai Yun was very good.
And he himself, was their good friend.
With such an opportunity, they would naturally not let others reap the benefits if he himself could come.
Once he came, the three of them in a city could echo each other, instead of like before, where the three of them, each guarding a place, rarely had a chance to meet.
Understanding all this, He Song looked at Meng Guan and Wei Fan with a touch of emotion.
His two friends, indeed, did not beat around the bush when it came to doing things.
Of course, He Song was the same.
Like the news he received this time, he informed them of the Demon Sect Alliance as soon as possible, so they could prepare early.
Mutual support was the reason why their relationship got better and better.
After a while.
Master Bai Yun and Master Xuan He excused themselves and left.
Then Meng Guan and Wei Fan, with He Song, left Meng Guan’s mansion and arrived at another nearby mansion.
“Here is where you will live. If you want to find a maid or something, you can go to the broker house in the Immortal City.”
“If you don’t want to, it’s ok for you to live alone.”
“In addition, since you’ve come here, you will be a guardian of Heaven Power Immortal City, and some chores still need to be done.”
“Of course, if you find it troublesome, you can also find a few people in the broker house to help you manage, only stepping in when necessary.”
“Wei Fan and I both do the same. The affairs of the Immortal City are too many, so we basically have them handled by others.” “We just need to cultivate in peace, ensuring that there is no chaos in the city.” Meng Guan took He Song for a walk around the mansion.
He not only familiarised He Song with his mansion but also introduced various things about Heaven Power Immortal City.
Even the matter of finding maids and subordinates in the broker house was directly mentioned without any hesitation.
And Wei Fan from the side would occasionally add to it.
This quickened He Song’s understanding of this place.
Meanwhile.
Given their relationship, such matters didn’t need to be avoided.
All three of them had come through the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion, and already had these twisted paths etched into their minds.
Naturally, when He Song heard about these, he had no particular feelings, just that he had a plan in his mind.
It seemed.
After Meng Guan and Wei Fan left, he had to go find the broker house they had mentioned.
Then in the broker house, he would need to recruit some subordinates to help himself manage the affairs of the city.
These subordinates were somewhat different than the general manager he established at the Herbs Immortal Workshop.
The general manager he designated in the 1–lerbs Immortal Workshop did not require an annual salary from him. The annual salary was paid by the Thick Earth Sect.
But in this Heaven Power Immortal City, if he wanted to recruit subordinates, he would have to pay with spirit stones.
The broker house trained people to deal with affairs for Masters in the Foundation Establishment stage. Masters would give out a negligible amount of spirit stones in return, saving a lot of time.
This was a win-win situation.
People from the broker house earned spirit stones.
He Song thereby saved a significant amount of time, which he could use to make breakthroughs in his own cultivation.
In this way, under conditions satisfactory to both parties, the trade would naturally be able to proceed normally.
At the same time, this was why Meng Guan and Wei Fan chose to inform He Song about all of this.
Foundation Establishment Masters are not likely to expend precious cultivation time on trivial matters.
Mostly, Foundation Establishment Masters serve as deterrents, only resorting to daunting actions when they are forced to do so.
Under normal circumstances, matters would be managed by subordinates.
After touring He Song’s mansion with him and introducing him to various matters within Heaven Power Immortal City .
Both Meng Guan and Wei Fan took their leave.
When everyone else had left and only He Song remained in the entire mansion…
He Song made a mental gesture, his divine sense instantaneously enveloping the whole mansion.
After confirming that there was nothing abnormal, He Song waved his hand and began to establish arrays.
This mansion was where He Song would be staying daily from now on.
Thus, having a small Gathering Spirit Array was imperative.
The Smoke Array would also be necessary.
After setting up both the small Gathering Spirit Array and the Smoke Array…
He Song chose to limit the coverage of these two arrays to a small area within the mansion.
In this way, even if someone came to visit in the future, He Song could entertain them in the area not covered by the arrays.
At the same time, covered by the Smoke Array, the peculiar concentration of spirit Qi in He Song’s mansion would not be noticeable to anyone else.
Absolutely perfect.
Lastly…
He Song installed the Seven Kills Heaven Fire Array and the Sea-Stabilizing and Spirit-Orienting Array in that small area.
With these two arrays in place, He Song’s safety would be greatly enhanced whenever he cultivates in seclusion within this small area of his mansion in the future.
Even if attacked, the attackers would be obstructed by the array and would find it difficult to harm him.
Moreover, because of the coverage of the Smoke Array, others would have no idea that He Song had set up several arrays in his mansion.
After making all these arrangements, He Song put Yu’er into a pond within the mansion before hurrying off to the broker house not far away.
The broker house…
He didn’t know if someone had given them a heads-up in advance.
As soon as He Song arrived, someone greeted him with a face full of smiles. “Sir, please come in. I’m Li Yu. Whatever you need, just say the word.”
“Whether it’s beautiful maids, cultivator guardians, spirit beast puppets, property deeds, etc., our store has everything you could want. We guarantee your satisfaction.”
Leading He Song into the yard, Li Yu couldn’t help but to boast, claiming to have everything under the sky on their premises.
As Li Yu’s constant blabbing rang in his ears, He Song kept his face calm, completely unaffected.
Since Meng Guan and Wei Fan had mentioned this place to him, it signified that the goods here had at least caught their eye.
Therefore, regardless of whether Li Yu was exaggerating or not, the goods here had already been approved by He Song.
Li Yu’s elaborations were merely a waste of breath.
Entering the yard…
Li Yu led He Song forward while giving him an introduction.
Passing by several people exuding a murderous aura, Li Yu casually patted one of them on the head, saying…
“Sir, look at these people. They were evil cultivators captured by the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team, but they’ve had obedience tokens implanted. With the token in hand, one can control their life and death.”
Seeing that He Song seemed to have no strong reaction…
Just looking at him in silence…
Li Yu swiftly changed tactics, immediately moving to another direction.
However, before he could introduce, He Song already shook his head, interrupting his impending words.
Li Yu was standing next to a group of girls without any cultivation. He Song, without even listening, could guess what he was going to say next.
He was probably going to introduce a few maids to serve him regularly.
But, how could He Song, a distinguished Foundation Establishment Master, be interested in a group of ordinary girls?
“Enough, I’m new here. I need a few subordinates to help me manage affairs in the Immortal City. There’s no need for you to introduce the rest.”
Facing Li Yu, who was only in the Qi-refining late stage, it was perfectly normal for He Song to refer to himself as ‘this seat’.
The gulf between Foundation Establishment Masters and Qi-refining cultivators is too vast.
Especially when He Song and Li Yu were still unfamiliar with each other.
Under such circumstances, He Song’s remarks were more than normal.
Foundation Establishment Masters…
They are naturally above the Qi-refining cultivators.
Upon hearing He Song’s voice, Li Yu was momentarily stunned, his gaze sweeping over the similarly astonished surrounding crowd.
He soon snapped out of his daze, his eyes instantly lighting up with elation.
“Yes, yes, of course, Master. Please come into the VIP room. I’ll go get the best administrators for you.”
Promptly after saying this, Li Yu leading He Song at a fast pace towards the room at the center of the courtyard.
After the two of them entered the room…
A burst of commotion arose in the yard.
But very quickly, a scolding voice quelled the uproar.
The entire yard then quickly regained its previous silence..
