Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

these Gold Core Defense Spirit Talismans were all personally crafted by He Song.

The energy He Song had expended on these spirit amulets was considerable.

With such thoughtfulness,

and concern,

combined with the significant value of these spirit amulets gifted by He Song,

when added together,

it was likely enough to touch the hearts of the two Masters, Luo Jing and Yun Jing.

After all, the task Luo Jing and Yun Jing previously undertook for He Song—to transmit a message—was not something particularly critical.

Given the gifts that He Song now reciprocated, the gesture was actually quite generous.

If we’re to speak candidly,

the act of the two Masters transmitting messages for He Song was more akin to casual conversation between friends that led to a sharing of experiences and knowledge.

As for the various pieces of information gained by He Song as a result, that was more of a side benefit.

But even so, He Song took it to heart and prepared gifts to properly thank the two Masters.

In doing so, if there were future messages to be conveyed, it’s possible the two Masters might be more proactive in relaying such information.

Perhaps He Song could continue to leverage this foresight to glean benefits from other sources.

Or, it might even help him avoid life-and-death crises.

Memories of his own past close escapes from numerous life-and-death situations and significant benefits gained thanks to his foreknowledge flashed through his mind.

With these thoughts, He Song grew even more enthusiastic about giving these gifts.

As He Song continued to pilot his lower-grade spiritual tool flying boat,

the mountains and rivers below retreated rapidly.

Peak after peak was effortlessly surpassed by He Song.

Wherever a Golden Elixir cultivator passed, both cultivators and demonic beasts steered clear by a wide margin.

At this moment, the aura emanating from He Song had unmistakably reached the Golden Elixir Early Stage.

Though he had already successfully advanced to the Mid-stage Golden Elixir level and even solidified his cultivation, truly possessing the combat strength of a Mid-stage Golden Elixir cultivator,

the cultivation level He Song displayed outwardly was still that of the Golden Elixir Early Stage.

Hiding one’s cultivation level was,

for He Song, as common as eating and drinking.

Whenever he traveled outside, as long as he was able to conceal a portion of his cultivation level, He Song naturally chose to do so.

At Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, He Song would hide his cultivation at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage.

At Golden Elixir Early Stage, He Song would hide his cultivation at the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection.

Now, at Golden Elixir Mid-stage, He Song naturally hid his cultivation at the Golden Elixir Early Stage.

Such behavior of concealing one’s true cultivation level

allowed him to appear less conspicuous.

It also might cause others to misjudge his strength.

Being inconspicuous naturally meant that one wouldn’t draw special attention.

And if others misjudged his strength,

like assuming He Song was only at the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection when his actual cultivation level had reached the Golden Elixir Early Stage,

if they really took He Song’s displayed cultivation for Foundation Establishment Great Perfection,

what awaited that person, or these people, was likely to be the wrath of a Golden Elixir.

By that time,

He Song’s safety would certainly not be an issue.

Perhaps, there would even be gains to be had.

Just like the time before he found Master Xuan Ying’s cave mansion, when He Song slew four Foundation Establishment True Persons outside Green Mountain Immortal City,

and also gleaned a clue from the memories of an Evil Cultivator passing by.

It was because of that clue that He Song was later able to find Master Xuan Ying’s cave mansion,

and while it was unoccupied, managed to take a great amount of resources for Crafting Life-critical Treasure from within.

However, thinking of this,

He Song’s brow furrowed slightly.

The materials he had obtained from Master Xuan Ying’s cave mansion, meant for Crafting Life-critical Treasure,

were still quietly arranged in He Song’s storage bag.

Since leaving Green Moon Immortal State nearly thirty years ago, those items had always been kept in He Song’s storage bag, never once taken out again.

The reason for this was,

because up to now, He Song had neither seen nor even heard any information about the main materials needed for life-bound artifacts.

Whether it was from Meng Guan or Wei Fan,

or from the two Masters he was about to meet, Luo Jing and Yun Jing,

or even from other cultivators,

He Song had never received any news.

Without any information, He Song naturally put it out of his mind over time.

After all, although he knew that once a life-bound artifact was crafted, its power would be formidable,

and it could significantly strengthen him,

but,

he was unable to even hear about the things needed for crafting a life-bound artifact.

In such a situation, how could he obtain them?

It certainly wasn’t feasible for him to set off alone in pursuit of treasures for crafting a life-bound artifact, was it?

Wouldn’t that be like finding a needle in a haystack?

He Song would certainly not undertake such a needle-in-a-haystack endeavor.

The Cultivation World was fraught with danger. Even as a Golden Elixir Master, He Song couldn’t avoid all dangers.

In this context, it was better to cultivate in seclusion and wait.

Perhaps, the whereabouts of these things would be known someday.

With this thought,

He Song shook his head, dismissing the idea and continued to concentrate on his journey.

Green Moon Immortal State,

Biyue Prefecture,

within the Main Pavilion of the Treasure Pavilion.

By the time He Song piloted his lower-grade Spiritual Instrument Flying Boat to this location,
