Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

“It appears that you are not lacking in Golden Elixir secrets, Golden Elixir spells and even Golden Elixir cultivation skills.”

“I apologize for my previous assumptions.”

Shaking his head, Meng Guan quickly changed the topic, no longer concerned about He Song’s safety.

Instead, he continued to chat with He Song.

Seeing this, He Song did not say much more, and simply carried on chatting with his two friends at the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.

Meng Guan’s worry was not without reason.

In theory,

As a loose cultivator, He Song was bound to lack various things.

Without a sect as backup, progressing in the Golden Elixir realm might not be easy for He Song.

However, the opportunities He Song had obtained over the years had narrowed the gap between a loose cultivator and a sect elder.

If He Song truly lacked sophisticated Golden Elixir secrets, he could inquire and purchase them in the various Immortal States.

Powerful Golden Elixir spells, like Golden Elixir secrets, could be bought from the Immortal State Treasures Pavilion.

He Song could set up a Golden Elixir array to protect his cave mansion, and he could even form a Kill Array to enhance his combat power.

As for Golden Elixir spirit elixirs that could enhance his cultivation, He Song could refine them himself. He could even refine precious spirit elixirs to consume himself or trade with others.

He Song already had two low-grade spirit artifacts to enhance himself, none of which were ordinary. He even had two middle-grade spirit artifacts.

As for the way sect elders earn spirit stones, He Song, with the blessing of many Medicine Gardens, was not short of spirit stones either.

Besides not having a backer in case of an accident.

Compared to some Golden Elixir elders of Nascent Soul Upper Sect, He Song did not really differ much.

After all, as a Golden Elixir Master,

Even as a loose Golden Elixir cultivator, his channels of obtaining various items were more numerous than during his Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment Realm periods.

And precisely because of this, under such circumstances, He Song’s power might actually be superior compared to ordinary Golden Elixir elders of the Nascent Soul Upper Sect.

Of course, Meng Guan’s worry turned out to be groundless.

However, in the following days, He Song thought of something.

Previously,

He Song had considered that if he announced that he was able to enter the Golden Core Realm so quickly with Meng Guan’s help,

Although it would result in him staying behind the scenes and not causing others to take note of him,

It would actually give Meng Guan a good reputation.

After all, after setting foot in the Golden Core Realm himself, he found the Golden Congealing Elixir Pill for each of his two former friends, helping them break through the Golden Core Realm.

Such a benefactor would surely be admired by many cultivators.

With this reputation, Meng Guan might be somewhat restrained in his future kills.

But when He Song asked Meng Guan about this,

Although he did not understand why He Song would credit his unrelated breakthrough into the Golden Core Realm to his vigorous help,

After hearing He Song’s explanation, knowing that He Song wanted to keep a low profile and prevent more people from learning of his existence, Meng Guan’s reply was that he did not mind.

After all, it was just some reputation.

His Master Duan Hun status was earned by his own hands.

An additional benevolent reputation would not hurt.

It might even yield unexpected benefits under certain circumstances.

Under such circumstances, Meng Guan reassured He Song.

And besides, after he had made his breakthrough to the Golden Elixir Realm, he came out quickly to find Golden Congealing Elixir Pills for his two friends.

Although the result was slightly different when He Song said it this way, the process was exactly the same.

Because no one knew that He Song was able to find two Golden Congealing Elixir Pills in a fortunate encounter, and it was with these two pills that he had broken through into the Golden Core Realm.

Among the three Golden Congealing Elixir Pills that Meng Guan got, two were actually meant for He Song.

Under such circumstances, saying that Meng Guan, after setting foot into the Golden Elixir Realm, had found Golden Congealing Elixir Pills for his two friends, helping them enter the Golden Core Realm, was not wrong.

After opening up the conversation, the three were planning to continue their gathering and chatting.

Unexpectedly,

About a dozen days after the trio convened.

One day, as the three were seated, sipping tea and gazing at the distant scenery,

The Sound Transmission Amulets of Meng Guan and Wei Fan suddenly lit up.

The movement of the Sound Transmission Amulet immediately drew the attention of the three present.

While there was no anomaly with He Song’s Sound Transmission Amulet, witnessing Meng Guan and Wei Fan’s dramatic change of expression after opening the amulet did pique his curiosity.

In the dozen or so days that the group had been together, this was the first time He Song had seen such drastic changes in the expressions of Meng Guan and Wei Fan.

Curiosity aside, He Song did not discreetly use his divine sense to spy or peek on anything.

If something serious had happened,

Meng Guan and Wei Fan would certainly inform him.

Rather than sneakily observing or peeking, it would be better to wait for Meng Guan or Wei Fan to explain the matter directly.

With this thought in mind, He Song continued his tea leisurely.

However, after reading the message within the Sound Transmission Amulet, Meng Guan and Wei Fan quickly exchanged glances with each other.

Only one glance.

Just one glance was enough for them to confirm that the content of the messages they received was the same.

The two of them were both members of the Sun Faction. Now that they had received the same message, it was evident that the other Golden Elixir Elders of the Sun Faction must have received the same message too.

Something major had happened!

After a moment’s contemplation, Meng Guan put the message into his storage bag and turned his gaze to where He Song was seated.

“Fellow Daoist, the Sect Leader of Sun Faction has personally sent a message, ordering me to return to the sect immediately without delay.”

“Presumably, Brother Wei has also received the same message.”

“It seems that both of us will need to set off for the location of the Sun Faction’s mountain gate immediately.”

“Fellow Daoist, please don’t blame us. Our gathering today probably has to end.”

“Although I don’t know what has happened within the Sun Faction, the fact that the Sect Leader himself has sent the message indicates that it’s likely serious.”

“If you do not wish to be involved, it is best to leave this place as soon as possible.”

“Brother Wei and I will also be leaving soon.”

“Fellow Daoist, take care.”

After giving a bow towards He Song, a trace of helplessness flashed across Meng Guan’s face.

As a Golden Elixir Elder of the Sun Faction, he couldn’t ignore the personal message from the Sect Leader asking him to return to the sect immediately.

Thus, even though the trio had only been here for about a dozen days and their meeting had only lasted as long, it was already time to part ways.

After this farewell,

they didn’t know when they would be able to meet again.

Meng Guan’s feeling of helplessness was genuine.

Wei Fan, who was sitting next to him, also had a similar look of helplessness on his face.

Like Meng Guan, he had also received the personal message from the Master of Sun Faction. It stated the same thing.

He too needed to return to the Sun Faction with Meng Guan.

However, he didn’t know what had happened within the Sun Faction that required this urgent recall of the Golden Elixir Elders.

Faced with the sudden goodbyes of Meng Guan and Wei Fan, He Song made no attempts to hold them back.

He merely bowed to them and then said,

“Since both of you have pressing matters, you should depart swiftly and return to your Sect.”

“Given the gravity of the situation, with the Sect Leader himself delivering the message, it would inevitably invite doubt if you were to return late.”

“We’ve been together for over a dozen days, which is not a short period. We will have opportunities to meet again in the future, so both of you need not worry too much.”

“After both of you depart, I will likely leave Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion immediately and head to Green Moon Immortal State.”

“This place is too close to the battleground of the Righteous and Demonic Great War. It’s better not to stay here too long.”

“Both of you, take care!”

After bidding farewell, the three left the courtyard together and swiftly departed from Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.

As for Meng Guan and Wei Fan, they naturally headed towards the mountain gate of the Sun Faction.
