Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

So it went until several days later.

He Song finally obtained the items he sought from the Main Pavilion of Treasure Pavilion within Zichuan Prefecture Government.

After months of travel and turmoil, the materials needed to refine the precious amulet ink finally arrived at Treasure Pavilion.

The essence blood from the heart of demonic beasts, necessary for the precious amulet ink.

A large amount of precious spiritual herbs had been processed according to the law to become spirit liquid.

And the powder of several precious spirit mines.

All appeared before He Song now.

After securing everything he needed into his storage bag and paying a considerable amount of spirit stones, He Song’s figure left the Treasure Pavilion, returning to his temporary residence within the Zichuan Prefecture Government.

Now that He Song had all he needed, naturally, there was no reason for him to stay any longer.

Therefore, after returning to his temporary residence, He Song quickly dismantled the Array Skills he had set up within the mansion.

Once the temporary residence bore no trace of He Song’s presence, He Song paused slightly and looked towards a distant mountain range.

There, was the home of the Zhao family, where True Monarch Fei Hu resided.

However, since he had already said his farewells to True Monarch Fei Hu before, He Song merely glanced from afar and then turned into a tunneling light, soaring into the sky, heading outside of Zichuan Prefecture Government.

And as the golden tunneling light He Song transformed into shot into the sky and away into the distance.

From within the Zhao family’s location, True Monarch Fei Hu watched this scene and sighed softly.

But beyond that, he said nothing else, nor did he take any further action.

He simply watched in silence as He Song left.

Only when the tunneling light He Song had become disappeared into the distance did he withdraw his gaze.

“Alas, several months amount to naught.”

“Truly unfortunate, unfortunate.”

“…”

“Fortunately, these months have not been entirely fruitless.”

“This person is indeed worth befriending.”

“However, it seems the time has come to truly start planning and retrieve the Twin-winged White Tiger.”

After withdrawing his gaze, True Monarch Fei Hu lamented twice with a hint of regret and then with a slight smile, shifted his focus elsewhere.

Inside Zichuan Prefecture Government, there were still a few Golden Elixir Masters awaiting his visit.

However, it remains unknown.

Whether his carefully laid plans would be successful.

True Monarch Fei Hu began to plan for the Twin-winged White Tiger.

And He Song,

having left the Zichuan Prefecture Government by several hundred miles, quickly descended and used Earth Tunneling to enter the Celestial God Thunder Array he had previously set up.

Within the Celestial God Thunder Array, He Song stayed for several days, until he was certain that no one was following him, then he finally let down his guard and completely dismantled the Celestial God Thunder Array at the location.

After dismantling the Celestial God Thunder Array, He Song quickly operated his Lower Grade Spiritual Instrument Flying Boat and, within two days, returned to his temporary cave mansion located within Purple River State.

Inside the temporary cave mansion.

After returning to his mansion, He Song’s first action was not to start on refining the Talismanic Treasure, now that he had all the materials ready.

Instead, after returning to his mansion and confirming that there were no anomalies, he began to dismantle his home.

Yes.

Literal dismantlement.

Upon his return to the mansion, without a second thought, He Song uprooted a large number of precious spiritual herbs from their roots and stored them in his storage bag.

Then he erased all traces of his presence in the temporary cave mansion.

Even various structures that had always been placed within this temporary mansion were packed into his storage bag by He Song.

Once the mansion had been completely emptied into a barren cave,

He Song also dismantled the Celestial God Thunder Array and the Spirit-Gathering Array outside the cave.

When no trace of He Song could be seen at the location,

Even the hollowed cavern was filled and concealed by He Song using a vast amount of rocks and earth.

He Song finally let out a sigh of relief.

His gaze swept over the scene before him that no longer resembled his original cave mansion, and with a thought, He Song’s entire being suddenly tunneled into the ground, beginning his search in the surrounding area.

Only after several hours did He Song locate, hundreds of miles away from where his temporary cave mansion had been, another spot suitable for establishing a hidden mansion—quietly re-emerging to the surface.

The cave mansion that He Song had dismantled could no longer be used.

As a result, He Song had spent several hours searching the vicinity for another suitable location to set up a hidden mansion.

The place He Song had found, though not near the Purple River, also boasted excellent scenery.

After carefully surveying the area and confirming it was suitable for creating a hidden mansion, He Song swiftly got to work.

At the recently chosen site, he once again established a hidden mansion.

However,

After establishing the hidden mansion, He Song did not take out the items from his storage bag.

Instead, he only left behind a small storage bag within the hidden mansion.

After completing these tasks, He Song once more brought out his Lower Grade Spiritual Instrument Flying Boat and steered it towards the direction of the Purple Cloud Sect.

Atop the flying boat, as he watched the mountains and rivers receding below, a touch of helplessness flashed through He Song’s heart.

Previously, while he was in Zichuan Prefecture Government and True Monarch Fei Hu had mentioned the Twin-winged White Tiger, He Song had pondered a question during the days that followed before bidding farewell and leaving.

And it was after these several days of contemplation, having speculated that great changes were imminent in the area,

That He Song, upon leaving Zichuan Prefecture Government, had immediately dismantled his temporary cave mansion by the Purple River Bank.

He then established another hidden mansion elsewhere for later use.

Now, after establishing the second hidden mansion, he had not hesitated to steer the Lower Grade Spiritual Instrument Flying Boat directly towards the Purple Cloud Sect.

His urgent haste was as if he were being pursued by Nascent Soul cultivators themselves.

All this resulted from He Song’s days of contemplation.

The matter He Song pondered, naturally, was related to the Twin-winged White Tiger.

In He Song’s opinion,

Since a Golden Elixir demonic beast had appeared in Purple River State,

Although the news had not yet spread, based on He Song’s speculation, with True Monarch Fei Hu’s character, it was likely that once he left, the True Monarch would begin considering other methods.

Such as, gathering several Golden Elixir Masters within Zichuan Prefecture Government to capture the Golden Elixir demonic beast,

Or seeking out familiar Golden Elixir Masters to join forces to capture the demonic beast,

Or even taking a risk and devising other schemes to capture it.

All these methods, according to He Song’s calculations, had a certain feasibility.

As long as the risks could be controlled, it might be possible for the Twin-winged White Tiger to be captured by True Monarch Fei Hu.

But…

Would things really proceed as smoothly as He Song anticipated?

A Golden Elixir demonic beast is not an inanimate object.

It will struggle.

It will flee.

It will cause a huge commotion.

Even the Golden Elixir Masters acting with True Monarch Fei Hu might very likely choose to backstab.

After all, deceit is all too common in the Cultivation World.

Instead of sincerely helping True Monarch Fei Hu capture the Twin-winged White Tiger,

They might take a chance to try capturing the tiger as their spirit beast.

If such an attempt failed, at worst they would have merely offended True Monarch Fei Hu,

But if successful, it could drastically change the trajectory of that cultivator’s life.

Under such circumstances, few cultivators could resist such temptation.

However, if things went as He Song predicted, the whole Purple River State would likely become bustling very quickly.

If He Song continued to stay in Purple River State, cultivating in the temporary cave mansion by the Purple River at that time,

The consequences might be unpredictable.
