Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

And this was precisely why He Song was so astonished when he saw the Golden Elixir Cave Mansion before him.

The rarity of a Golden Elixir Cave Mansion, he understood all too well.

However, there it was, an unguarded Golden Elixir Cave Mansion appearing silently before him.

Such luck was something He Song had never experienced before.

But after confirming the reality of this Golden Elixir Cave Mansion and having collected the Golden Cores into his storage bag, He Song also came to understand his own fortune.

His own luck did not seem as feeble as that of an ordinary cultivator, but rather he seemed more like a person with a great deal of good fortune.

After putting the Golden Cores into his storage bag, He Song did not rush to check for other opportunities. Instead, he became thoughtful.

He recounted his cultivation journey from the beginning at Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion until now.

Though He Song’s path was not one of overwhelming fortune, his luck could indeed be considered quite good.

Take this Golden Elixir Cave Mansion, for instance.

He had come across it as many as three times.

The first time was at Master Yin Yue’s Golden Elixir Cave Mansion, from which He Song’s opportunity was substantial, allowing him to enter the Golden Core Realm as he wished.

The second time was at Master Xuan Ying’s Golden Elixir Cave Mansion, from which He Song’s opportunity was also colossal. Though he did not obtain a Golden Core or other items, the mere materials needed for Crafting Life-Critical Treasures were enough to make He Song beam with joy.

The third time, was this time.

He Song had not yet explored this Golden Elixir Cave Mansion, but he had already secured a Golden Core, with inevitably huge rewards to follow.

Aside from these, the time He Song spent in Master Xing Yan’s Cave Mansion does not count.

Master Xing Yan’s Cave Mansion was discovered by Meng Guan and Wei Fan, not personally by He Song, hence he did not include it in his calculations.

But, just these three times alone were enough to suggest that He Song’s luck was indeed not bad.

You must understand.

This was a Golden Elixir Cave Mansion.

After a Golden Elixir Master’s death, knowing their Golden Elixir would be coveted, they would naturally hide it well.

Despite this, He Song was still able to find the cave mansions of three Golden Elixir Masters.

Though among them, the only truly well-hidden Golden Elixir Cave Mansion was the one He Song was currently in.

The Golden Elixir Cave Mansion He Song found before was not one where Master Yin Yue, approaching the end of his lifespan, had deliberately hidden.

It was instead built out of necessity by a severely injured Master Yin Yue to evade enemies searching for him.

Master Xuan Ying’s Cave Mansion was also not one he especially concealed due to his impending death.

It was simply Master Xuan Ying’s usual place for Cultivation.

However, even so, He Song stumbling upon this Golden Elixir Cave Mansion here did indeed reflect his considerable luck.

If it wasn’t for good fortune, He Song would probably not have come to Hu State with An Ning to enter that abandoned mine.

If it wasn’t for good fortune, He Song would likely not have chosen the abandoned mine as his spot for future seclusive cultivation.

If he had not chosen the abandoned mine as his future place of seclusive cultivation, how could He Song have come here to inspect the dangers himself, and then discover this Golden Elixir Cave Mansion?

Thoughts flickered through his mind as He Song pondered deeply.

But in the end.

He Song could only conclude that his luck was indeed good.

He Song had also figured out the reason why he could find a Golden Elixir Cave Mansion here.

The existence of this Golden Elixir Cave Mansion actually had its reasons.

This place, thousands of meters deep, was extremely remote and rarely visited by humans.

Moreover, situated amidst underground currents with Foundation Establishment demonic beasts lurking around, and even more Qi Refining stage demonic beasts, it was a natural barrier. Ordinary cultivators finding this place would be no easy feat.

That a Golden Elixir Master chose this place as his final resting place did not surprise He Song.

After all.

In such circumstances, it would be quite difficult for ordinary cultivators to enter this place.

Furthermore, since this Golden Elixir Cave Mansion was previously enveloped by an Array, cultivators who entered this area might have remained completely unaware of its existence.

In other words, the Golden Elixir Master who made this his final resting place had considered a great many things.

“`

This kind of place is indeed fitting for a Gold Core Cultivator to bury oneself.

That He Song was able to find a Golden Elixir Cave Mansion here is actually quite normal.

The environment here dictates that if a Golden Elixir Master were to discover this place, the idea of making it their final resting place would naturally arise in their heart.

Perhaps, within these underground currents, there still exist numerous Golden Elixir Cave Mansions yet to be discovered by He Song.

Perhaps, many Golden Elixir Masters who chose this place as their final resting spot have already had their cave mansions washed away by the flow of water.

Perhaps…

With a trace of contemplation on his face, He Song withdrew his thoughts, his gaze then falling on the remaining objects inside the Quiet Room before him.

His eyes did not linger on the remains, He Song casually waved his hand, and a surge of mana immediately swept up the storage bag inside the Quiet Room, delivering it into He Song’s hands.

As He Song’s thoughts moved, his divine sense reached out.

Everything within the storage bag quietly appeared before He Song at that moment.

However, after his divine sense probed the contents of the storage bag, He Song’s brow instantly furrowed.

He then quickly waved his hand, and all the items within the storage bag suddenly materialized within the Quiet Room.

The storage bag wasn’t very full.

A few jade slips.

A piece of thin paper.

Some miscellaneous items.

Beyond that, there was nothing else.

It was precisely because his divine sense only detected these things that He Song frowned, subsequently dumping all these items into the Quiet Room.

His gaze swept over the items he had poured out from the storage bag, He Song’s eyes calm, but his heart held a slight confusion.

According to common sense.

Within the storage bag of a Golden Elixir Master, there should definitely be a vast amount of spirit stones.

He Song had previously taken away no fewer than thirty thousand Mid-grade Spirit Stones from Master Yin Yue’s storage bag.

Based on He Song’s estimation, the remaining spirit stones in a Golden Elixir Master’s storage bag should at least be around tens of thousands of Mid-grade Spirit Stones, or perhaps even more.

Beyond that, there should be many precious spiritual herbs, precious spirit mines, and other heavenly materials.

Spirit elixirs like Golden Elixir Spiritual Elixirs, Golden Core Talismans, and other consumables would naturally not be lacking.

At least two, or even more, spirit artifacts, flying boats, and so forth, would be stored within the storage bag.

There might even be some other Treasures.

All these items are the most precious possessions of a Gold Core Cultivator.

But now…

Looking at the sparse collection of miscellaneous items in front of him, along with the several jade slips and a piece of thin paper filled with writing,

A sense of foreboding slowly began to emerge in He Song’s heart.

Could it be that this person passed away from natural causes, and all his possessions had been left to his descendants?

Such a speculation surged through He Song’s mind as he shook his head, forcibly suppressing the feeling of unease in his heart.

Then, with a casual gesture, the thin paper filled with writing, which had just been taken out by He Song from the storage bag, floated up and quietly hovered in front of He Song.

On the paper,

The dense writing immediately came into view.

“Fellow Daoist, are you satisfied with the contents of my storage bag?”

“In the Cultivation World, everyone knows that Gold Core Cultivators are treasures all over, their corpses can be refined into puppets, their Golden Cores into various Treasures.”

“Even within the cave mansion of a Golden Elixir Master, there are usually many Treasures left behind.”

“Whether it be Foundation Establishment cultivators or Golden Elixir Masters, obtaining them would yield a considerable harvest.”

“Yet, as a person of Golden Core, how could I not be aware of this?”

“Though I am undeserving, I had previously dug into the cave mansions of several Gold Core fellows, and I am quite familiar with such matters.”

“Alas, even after stepping into the Golden Core Realm, there comes a day when one grows old.”

“If you, Fellow Daoist, are able to read this letter, I fear that I have already perished in this Vast Wave Secret Realm, unable to step into the Nascent Soul Realm.”

“However, if you are seeing this letter, perhaps you have some connection with my Wind Snow Palace.”
