Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

For True Monarch Luo Jing, who has three spirit roots, even just one Golden Congealing Elixir Pill would give him a higher chance of successfully breaking through to the Golden Core Realm compared to cultivators with four spirit roots.

If he prepared one more pill, the probability of stepping into the Golden Core Realm would naturally be even greater.

Master Zi Shan, Luo Jing’s mentor, is a late-stage Golden Core Realm expert.

It goes without saying that he would prepare more than one Golden Congealing Elixir Pill for his disciple.

In such a scenario, Luo Jing’s successful breakthrough into the Golden Core Realm didn’t come as a surprise to He Song.

However, He Song didn’t know what True Monarch Yun Jing’s aptitude was like before.

But considering she could break through to the Golden Core Realm ten years ago, her aptitude must be quite high.

At least, she must also have three spirit roots, similar to Luo Jing.

After realizing this, He Song couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

Three spirit roots.

Two disciples with three spirit roots.

He should’ve expected this.

How can one become a disciple of a Golden Core Realm True Monarch without the qualifications of three spirit roots?

However, on the contrary.

Master Zi Shan seems to have great luck indeed.

It should be noted that cultivators with three spirit roots are the backbone of any sect or family and are quite rare.

In Foundation Establishment families, cultivators with three spirit roots are the hope for family prosperity.

In Golden Core Sects, cultivators with three spirit roots are cultivated as elites since childhood.

In Nascent Soul Upper Sects, cultivators with three spirit roots can still become disciples and serve as the sect’s backbone.

Ordinary Golden Core Sects, such as the Thick Earth Sect, would find it challenging to locate cultivators with three spirit roots.

Apart from detecting mortal talents every year.

Many are selected from the Thick Earth Sub-Pavilion.

It is for this reason that when He Song first joined the Thick Earth Sect, he found that the number of Thick Earth Sect disciples living with him in the Outer Sect Disciple Residence was not high.

At a time when Foundation Establishment families, Golden Core Sects, and Nascent Soul Upper Sects were all competing for disciples with three spirit roots to join their families and sects,

Master Zi Shan could still find disciples like Luo Jing and Yun Jing, who possess three spirit roots.

And this is why He Song sighed, thinking that Master Zi Shan indeed had great luck.

Being able to compete for people under the hands of various sects and families.

Such a task wouldn’t be possible without a bit of luck.

At least in the more than one hundred years of his cultivation, He Song had never discovered even one mortal with three spirit roots on his own.

Let alone three spirit roots.

He had never even come across those with four or five spirit roots.

Basically, anyone discovered by He Song had already initiated their Qi and had become a cultivator.

On the other hand, regarding Luo Jing’s suggestion to carefully consider whether or not to join the Sun Faction,

He Song couldn’t help but feel warmth in his heart.

After receiving the news, Luo Jing immediately contacted him and informed him of the inside information.

Luo Jing’s actions made He Song feel a slight sense of guilt.

Several days ago, he had already learned of the matter from Meng Guan’s letter and had thought about whether or not to inform Luo Jing.

But in the end, he decided against it.

However, Luo Jing informed him of the matter at the first possible opportunity.

Such a contrast naturally made He Song feel guilty.

However, even though he felt guilty in his heart, He Song did not have any regrets.

The reason for not mentioning this matter was entirely because once an unexpected situation occurred, it would involve his two close friends.

As for Master Luo Jing, with the protection of his master, Master Zi Shan, there was absolutely no need for He Song to worry about his safety.

Under such circumstances, He Song pondered for a long time before making such a decision, which was naturally beyond reproach.

Thus, after feeling ashamed in his heart, He Song put it behind him and continued his letter.

“Thank you for your concern, fellow Daoist. I have been well recently.”

“Fifteen years ago, I successfully broke through to the Golden Core Realm and went into closed-door cultivation until now.”

“In the blink of an eye, fifteen years have passed. I have now emerged from seclusion and possess a certain level of self-protection.”

“As for joining any sect or faction, I have yet to decide.”

“According to my thoughts, regardless of which sect or faction I join, I’m afraid things will be out of my control, just like the Sun Faction.”

“Therefore, it’s better to be a carefree wandering cultivator. Isn’t it enjoyable to cultivate outside?”

“I had considered the Sun Faction before. My two close friends are also in this sect now.”

“But after weighing it over and over, I politely declined their invitations. The reason is simple: if I were to join the Sun Faction at this moment, my life and death would be unpredictable.”

“As such, my desire to be a carefree wandering cultivator is even more firm.”

“Besides, I am still in the Green Moon Immortal State, but not in the Biyue Prefecture. Instead, I have purchased a mansion outside as my own cave dwelling.”

“If you come here in the near future, you can send me a message, and I will do my best to entertain you.”

“Wishing fellow Daoist a smooth journey.”

“Also, please convey my congratulations to True Monarch Yun Jing, congratulating him on stepping into the Golden Core Realm and having a smooth path in his immortal cultivation journey.”

After pondering for a long time in the face of Master Luo Jing’s message, He Song finally finished his reply, and with a surge of his spiritual power, he sent it to Master Luo Jing’s hands.

He Song addressed each point mentioned in Master Luo Jing’s message without neglect.

At the same time, he also expressed his own thoughts.

It was impossible for him to join the Sun Faction, not in this lifetime.

Although the reasons He Song mentioned were already sufficient, there were still many reasons hidden in his heart that he did not disclose.

Not only to Master Luo Jing, but even to Meng Guan and Wei Fan, He Song had never mentioned these other reasons for not joining the Sun Faction.

As for the matter of Master Yin Yue, He Song naturally could not talk about it with others.

Besides, what He Song said about entertaining Master Luo Jing if he came was true.

Wasn’t the mansion he had bought in Blue Moon Immortal City for this purpose?

As for his congratulations and wishes for True Monarch Yun Jing, they were also heartfelt.

After responding to Master Luo Jing, He Song quickly immersed himself in cultivation again, constantly studying the two Golden Core secret techniques he had obtained from Meng Guan and honing his own skills.

He did not even stop his cultivation of spiritual power and physical strength.

Though the Divine Profound Body Refining Skill now had minimal effect on He Song’s body, he would never give up cultivating this body refining technique before finding new refining methods.

As He Song continued his day-and-night cultivation, time outside quietly passed by.

Soon.

Half a month had passed.

Half a month later, while still cultivating in his cave dwelling, He Song suddenly detected a slight movement in his messaging charm.

Realizing that someone was messaging him, He Song quickly stopped his cultivation, opened the messaging charm, and took out a thin piece of paper from it.

“Fellow Daoist, thank you for your kind words. My master, my junior sister, and I have left Cloud State Mansion and arrived in Green Moon Immortal State. We were received by our uncle to enter Biyue Prefecture.”

“During this period, no accidents occurred.”

“Now, my master has already set out to return to Cloud State Mansion. However, I’m still unsure of when and where we will meet as you mentioned before.”

“Junior sister Yun Jing has been clamoring to meet you as soon as possible and personally express her gratitude after hearing your congratulations.”

“In addition, the battle between the Sun Faction and the God Locking Sect has started within this half-month. The Sun Faction has taken the lead in launching a surprise attack on the God Locking Sect.”

“I wonder when the war will spread to Cloud State.”

“Sigh, with my master alone in charge of Cloud State Mansion, I wonder if he can avoid this disaster.”

“Although our Treasure Pavilion never participates in the battles between sects and does not favor any side, the Demonic Cultivators are unpredictable and may cause unexpected incidents.”
