Chapter 185: Chapter 185: A Step to the Sky
Translator: 549690339
Golden Elixir Masters are a rare sight for most cultivators, so naturally, they would not believe that one would appear here.
As such, the only explanation is that someone within the inn had broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, becoming a genuine Foundation Establishment cultivator.
In a short while.
A large number of cultivators began to converge at the inn where He Song was staying.
It seemed as if they all wanted a piece of the good fortune that accompanied He Song’s breakthrough.
At the same time, the inn’s owner was extremely delighted at this moment.
Someone had broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm in his inn!
In the future, his inn could even be renamed the Heaven Ascending Inn!
For ordinary cultivators, reaching Foundation Establishment was like ascending to the heavens in one step.
Someone successfully reaching Foundation Establishment in his inn was like a golden signboard!
A fitting name: Heaven Ascending Inn!
Meanwhile.
As countless cultivators flocked to the inn,
He Song detected a strange divine sense approaching this place.
But before it could come into contact with He Song’s divine sense, a message was already passed along.
“Fellow cultivator, rest assured in consolidating your cultivation. I am Master Qingyue of the Thick Earth Sect; with me here, no one can disturb your cultivation.”
As the message arrived, Qingyue’s divine sense withdrew as well.
As He Song had deployed the Breath Concealment Formulas, he didn’t reveal a shred of his aura.
As a result, Master Qingyue had no idea that the person ‘breaking through’ in the inn was someone she knew.
Inside the inn.
He Song quickly realized that someone had suppressed the disturbance outside.
Sensing the calming atmosphere outside the inn,
He Song’s expression became rather peculiar.
Master Qingyue?
Was Master Qingyue still performing her duty as the guardian of Green Wall Immortal City like before?
What kind of expression would she have if she knew the person ‘breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm’ in the inn was herself?
It was known that.
This woman used to not think much of He Song.
The rare occasions when she smiled were merely out of courtesy given Meng Guan and Wei Fan, who were also Founda tion Establishment Masters.
Or perhaps it was when He Song had given her gifts that she showed a bit of warmth.
At other times, for Qi Refining cultivators like He Song, She didn’t even spare them a second glance.
Even when her gaze passed over him, she never paused.
It was only because He Song had gotten acquainted with her two disciples and personally delivered gifts that she had any impression of him at all.
As for anything else?
It was definitely not there.
And now.
From the message Master Qingyue had sent using her divine sense, her attitude towards this ‘stranger’ Foundation Establishment cultivator was far more amicable.
Seated on the meditation cushion, He Song controlled the small Spirit-Gathering Array to absorb spirit Qi from the outside world while also increasing his own absorption speed to the max.
In mid-air, the not too big, not too small spirit Qi vortex was firmly maintained.
However.
When the image of Master Qingyue’s face crossed his mind, He Song’s eyes became even more peculiar.
He was really curious.
What kind of expression would Master Qingyue have when she personally came to visit him only to discover that the cultivator ‘breaking through’ in the inn was He Song?
It should be.
Quite amusing, right?
Several days later.
He Song dismantled the small Spirit-Gathering Array.
And he also stopped absorbing any more spirit Qi from the outside world.
The vortex of spirit Qi above the inn gradually dissipated as He Song ceased his actions.
For this time.
He Song had planned carefully.
For when Meng Guan had broken through to Foundation Establishment, the spirit Qi vortex in mid -air had taken several days to dissipate as well.
Since He Song was going through this process, it would naturally take several days for the spirit Qi vortex to disappear.
As such.
When the spirit Qi vortex had completely dispersed,
He Song instantly retracted his divine sense and put on an excited expression as though he had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. Then, he began to quietly wait while seated on his meditation cushion.
Through Meng Guan’s Foundation Establishment experience, He Song knew very well
that Master Qingyue would soon arrive here, intending to win him over to join the Thick Earth Sect.
However… he was already a disciple of the Thick Earth Sect, and Master
Qingyue’s plan to make a big profit from this situation would fall through.
The reason why he chose to ‘break through’ to the Foundation Establishment Realm in Green Wall Immortal City was to find someone who could testify on his behalf.
As for the rewards, he could just go back to the sect and ask the Sect Leader for them.
There was no need to rely on others.
As the spirit Qi vortex above the inn disappeared,
Such a scene quickly attracted the attention of surrounding cultivators.
For a moment.
Countless cultivators cast their gazes in this direction.
When the spirit Qi vortex had formed a few days ago, they knew that a Foundation Establishment cultivator was about to be born here. Today, everyone knew.
When the spirit Qi vortex dispersed, it marked the birth of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
The loose cultivators, Immortal Pavilion cultivators, and Immortal City cultivators outside the inn, gazing from afar, suddenly had a burning gleam in their eyes.
A Foundation Establishment cultivator!
And one who had reached the Foundation Establishment Realm within an inn!
Presumably, this Foundation Establishment cultivator shared a similar identity to them—a loose cultivator, maybe?
Breaking through in an inn must mean that this Foundation Establishment cultivator had no fixed residence within Green Wall Immortal City.
Could it be that an unremarkable Qi Refining Great Perfection cultivator had extraordinarily good luck and successfully broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm?
Could there be some secret in this inn that increases the success rate of Foundation Establishment?
Could it be…
For a moment.
Cultivators paying attention to this inn each had their own guesses in their hearts.
But what they didn’t know was.
He Song, who was quietly waiting for Master Qingy Yue’s arrival at this moment, was not simply a loose cultivator as they thought.
He was in fact someone.
Who had taken six Foundation Establishment Elixirs.
Had been personally taught Foundation Establishment knowledge by two Foundation Establishment Masters.
Witnessed the records of several Foundation Establishment Masters’ Foundation Establishment experiences.
And also possessed a secret technique that can be used to increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment, the Qi Sinking into Elixir Field Skill.
With these stack of resources.
He managed to successfully establish his foundation during his seventh attempt to compress his spirit power, becoming an outer disciple of Thick Earth Sect.
With so many identities, resources, and insights combined, He Song’s success rate for Foundation Establishment was incredibly high.
Under such circumstances, the gap between He Song and the loose cultivators was practically incalculable.
Furthermore.
He Song had already broken through to Foundation Establishment four years ago.
He came here now and made such a big commotion.
The purpose was only to avoid arousing suspicion from the sect by breaking through the Foundation Establishment outside the sect.
As for the guesses about the various hard-earned efforts, brainstorming, and unbeatable luck to succeed in Foundation Establishment, they had never actually happened to He Song.
No matter how the outsiders speculated.
At this moment, Master Qingy Yue had transformed into a tunneling light, silently landing outside the inn.
At the same time, Master Qingy Yue’s crisp voice also rang out.
“Fellow Daoist, may I come in for a chat?”
Standing outside the inn.
Master Qingy Yue asked in the direction where He Song was.
A few days ago, when the spirit Qi whirlpool suddenly appeared above the inn, everyone in the inn, including the innkeeper, had already been invited out by the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team.
Now.
Only He Song was in the large inn.
Master Qingy Yue’s words were, of course, meant for He Song.
Inside the inn.
Hearing Master Qingy Yue’s voice, He Song immediately stood up, walked out of the room, and headed towards the inn’s main entrance to welcome her.
“Please come in, Master Uncle.”
Without even having seen Master Qingy Yue, He Song had already spoken.
Outside the inn.
When she heard He Song’s voice and his address as master uncle, a hint of surprise quickly appeared on Master Qingy Yue’s face.
Master Uncle?
And this voice…why does it sound so much like Meng Guan’s friend?
With a hint of doubt in her eyes.
Master Qingy Yue decided to step forward and enter the inn.
No matter who it is.
Going in and taking a look will tell.
If it is, the Thick Earth Sect adding another Foundation Establishment Master would be a good thing.
If not… she would still benefit from this address as master uncle.
Among Foundation Establishment Masters, addressing each other as fellow Daoists is sufficient.
It was only because He Song felt that using ‘Master Uncle’ for his ‘new’ breakthrough to Foundation Establishment would add some impression points, allowing Master Qingy Yue to take this advantage.
As soon as the two met, Master Qingy Yue would naturally ask He Song to change his address.
He Song knew this very well.
In order to have Master Qingy Yue testify for him, giving her some benefits is necessary.
Although it was only an address, it still counted as a benefit.
Soon.
Master Qingy Yue, who had just stepped into the inn, came face to face with He Song, who was walking towards the inn’s entrance.
When the two met.
As their eyes met.
They both stopped in their tracks.
He Song wanted to see Master Qingy Yue’s reaction when she discovered that the person who had ‘broken through’ Foundation Establishment here was him.
As for Master Qingy Yue.
When she saw that the person in front of her was indeed He Song, the doubt in her eyes turned to shock.
Although she had guessed in her heart.
After all, she could still recognize He Song’s voice.
Plus, He Song’s address as master uncle before he revealed himself had deepened her guess.
However, when He Song stood in front of her in his true form as a Foundation Establishment Master.
The impact on her mind still left Master Qingy Yue startled for a long time.
Inside the inn.
As the two gazed at each other, neither spoke.
He Song got his wish and saw Master Qingy Yue’s shocked expression.
Meanwhile, Master Qingy Yue was still lost in her thoughts.
She really didn’t expect.
He Song.
A four spirits root cultivator who was just brought into the Thick Earth Sect by Meng Guan, would unexpectedly meet her as a Foundation Establishment Master under such circumstances.
Before today.
She had always felt regretful for Chu Shuangshuang’s failure in Foundation Establishment.
But she never thought.
That while her highly-regarded Chu Shuangshuang failed in Foundation Establishment.
He Song, whom she thought had little chance of establishing a foundation,
actually succeeded..
