Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 436: 420: Zifu Forging Yuan Technique_2

With these thoughts flashing through his mind, He Song’s gaze turned to the outside of the Divine Thunder Array, and his determination to continue hiding his identity grew stronger.

From the time he broke through the Golden Elixir Realm, successfully consolidating his cultivation base, refining two lower-grade spirit artifacts, and fully mastering the Mountain Crushing Skill, he had thought a lot.

He had pondered whether or not to reveal his true cultivation and come to help his two friends personally.

When he first set out to find Meng Guan and Wei Fan, he already had several well-considered contingency plans.

If He Song had not found the pair before they extracted the fortunes within the Golden Elixir Cave Mansion and split the spoils, departing the area,

He Song would return home and wait until the next time the two gained another opportunity to send them the remaining two Golden Congealing Elixir Pills he had.

However, if He Song found the pair before they entered the Golden Elixir Cave Mansion, as they are now,

He would act as he does now, helping to clear some dangers and, under the premise of hiding his identity, give the two Golden Congealing Elixir Pills as the fortunes of this place.

If He Song found the pair while…

In short, no matter the state Meng Guan and Wei Fan were in upon He Song’s arrival, he had contingency plans to deal with it.

Of course, after arriving at this place, He Song proceeded to execute the contingency plans he had previously thought of.

Although being in the Golden Core Realm in the Cultivation World was not considered insignificant, it was still far from being called an expert.

If he exposed himself to everyone’s scrutiny, he feared that every move he made would be watched by countless people.

For example, He Song traveling a long distance from the Sun Faction’s territory to the Golden Snake Sect’s territory to deliver the Golden Congealing Elixir Pills to his two friends.

Such an act, defying the norms of the Cultivation World, would shock all surrounding Nascent Soul Upper Sects if it were propagated.

He Song’s name as Master Cang Song, as well as the names of his two friends, would quickly spread throughout several nearby Nascent Soul Upper Sects.

His actions might even spread farther, triggering admiration and longing from countless people.

Everyone would hope to become He Song’s friend and receive his help.

But, if He Song really did this, what could he gain?

At the moment he delivered the Golden Congealing Elixir Pills, He Song would receive endless gratitude from Meng Guan and Wei Fan.

After his deeds were publicized, He Song would receive verbal praise and envy from countless people.

Whenever He Song went out to do things in the future, almost everyone he encountered would recognize him as the loyal and righteous Golden Elixir Master.

During his interactions with others, those who knew him would express friendliness towards him.

That is until…slowly, as time passed, someone eventually noticed that He Song’s lifespan seemed strangely long.

From that moment on.

His life would begin its countdown.

At first, it wouldn’t be too bad.

As a Golden Elixir Master, He Song’s deterrent power was there, so not many people would have ill intentions towards him.

As a Golden Elixir Master, the Nascent Soul and even Deity Transforming cultivators would not pay too much attention to his existence.

On top of revealing his identity, cultivation base, and his loyalty and righteousness, his deeds would even attract many people’s flattery and sycophancy.

However, if something were to happen,

For example, if someone, hundreds of years later, suddenly discovered that He Song’s lifespan was abnormal,

Then the already-exposed He Song would quickly attract the attention of countless people.

All those who had known or interacted with him would instantly focus on him.

Among these people, there would be Foundation Establishment Masters with their lifespans running out, Golden Elixir Masters with dwindling lifespans, Ancestor Yuanyings with limited lifespans, and even…Deity Transforming cultivators.

By that time, how would the exposed He Song cope?

Even if he hid his cultivation base and was not afraid of Nascent Soul cultivators,

What about the Deity Transforming ones?

When the Yuanying ancestor with a limited lifespan left seclusion just to figure out the mystery of He Song’s lifespan…

By that time, all matters would probably become unpredictable.

Under such circumstances, He Song, an everlasting being, could not possibly expose his cultivation in the Golden Elixir Realm so blatantly, causing the people around him to watch him in awe.

Acting so high-profile

Would bury him deep in his grave.

With He Song’s cautious nature, he had already thought of this outcome long ago.

It was precisely because of this that He Song, after successfully breaking through to the Golden Elixir Realm, did not publicize his cultivation, nor did he ostentatiously help his two friends.

Nor did he recklessly publicize all his deeds.

Because he knew.

Only in this way could he live longer and more distant.

After putting all the remaining jade slips beside him into Master Xing Yan’s storage bag, He Song contemplated for a moment before taking out two jade bottles from his storage bag.

Inside the jade bottles were the Golden Congealing Elixir pills personally refined by He Song.

Without opening the jade bottle to check anything.

When He Song originally chose the jade bottle to hold the Golden Congealing Elixir, he engraved the three big characters “Golden Congealing Elixir” on it.

In this way, even people who were not familiar with the Elixir Tao would understand what was inside the two bottles when they saw the three big characters on the jade bottle.

He Song placed the two Golden Congealing Elixir pills into Master Xing Yan’s storage bag.

After some thought, He Song ultimately decided not to put anything else in Master Xing Yan’s storage bag.

Although the items in Master Xing Yan’s storage bag seemed not particularly valuable to He Song,

This was because He Song had already reached the Golden Elixir Realm and had previously taken everything from a Golden Elixir Master.

If any Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator were to see,

They would probably find the items in Master Xing Yan’s storage bag invaluable.

Moreover, combining the value of the items in the storage bag with the two Golden Congealing Elixir pills, even a Golden Elixir Master would not think Master Xing Yan was destitute.

On the contrary, the existence of the two Golden Congealing Elixir pills made the other items in Master Xing Yan’s storage bag seem more genuine.

Since there were two Golden Congealing Elixir pills inside.

The low value of other items should be understandable, right?

As long as He Song destroyed the jade slip in Anecdote Pavilion that recorded Master Xing Yan’s life story, this explanation would naturally become reasonable.

With this in mind, He Song quickly became more determined in his earlier hesitation about whether or not to destroy the jade slip in Anecdote Pavilion.

The jade slip detailing Master Xing Yan’s life story

Must be destroyed!

Only by destroying this jade slip

Would the items in Master Xing Yan’s storage bag seem more genuine.

As for tampering with the content of the jade slip,

He Song had considered it.

But if he really did that, the chances of being found out would still be high.

Thus, given He Song’s need to hide his existence, he had abandoned that idea after some thought.

After placing the two Golden Congealing Elixir pills from his body into Master Xing Yan’s storage bag, and restoring the entire meditation chamber to its original state,

He Song’s figure quickly returned to Anecdote Pavilion.

Inside Anecdote Pavilion,

He Song casually pulled the jade slip containing Master Xing Yan’s life story into his storage bag.

Only then did he leisurely walk out of Anecdote Pavilion and began to gradually restore the cave mansion.

Soon after,

After He Song completely restored the cave mansion to its original state, and even put back the Golden Armor Guards that he had previously suppressed and placed inside his storage bag to make it more convincing,

He Song was finally satisfied and prepared to leave Master Xing Yan’s cave mansion.

However, just before leaving, He Song paused in his footsteps.
