Chapter 226: Chapter 218: Four Sects Alliance

Moreover, since Pinger had taken a female apprentice, He Song specially chose an attractive mid-grade defensive artifact for her.
It was a spherical artifact.
Named Peach Blossom Shield.
Although it was called a shield.
It wasn’t an ordinary shield; it resembled a pink glutinous rice ball when held in one’s hand.
After refining, it could transform into a pink sphere when utilized against enemies, protecting the cultivator within.
Due to the material of the mid-grade artifact, its defensive power was astonishing.
This mid-grade defensive artifact.
Should be usable by Ping’er’s little apprentice until she reaches Foundation Establishment and has to change it.
If she fails Foundation Establishment.
This artifact should be enough for her to use for the rest of her life.
After selecting the gifts, He Song returned to his mansion and began cultivating while waiting for Ping’er and her apprentice’s arrival.
He didn’t have to wait long.
An hour later.
A spirit boat flew over from the horizon and landed directly inside He Song’s mansion.
The arrival of this spirit boat caused quite a stir outside the Herbs Immortal Workshop again.
However, it seemed that the cultivators outside had developed some immunity to this, and the clamor was smaller than when Ping’er initially arrived.
When Ping’er and her apprentice arrived.
As He Song met them and the two, big and small, masters and apprentices, stepped down from the spirit boat, he heard a timid voice: “Junior Yue’er pays her respects to uncle master, wishing uncle master… ‘ She paused halfway through her words before continuing.
“Wishing uncle master a smooth Immortal Path and success in forming Golden
Elixir.”
Seeing this, He Song looked at Ping’er.
If he didn’t hear it wrongly, during Yue’er’s pause, Ping’er whispered the phrase “a smooth Immortal Path and success in forming Golden Elixir.” Only then did Yue’er pick up her words again.
If it weren’t for Ping’er’s prompt, Yue’er might have forgotten her words halfway through.
For a moment.
He Song felt that the big and small masters and apprentices in front of him had become somewhat unreliable.
However, since it was their first meeting, He Song didn’t show his thoughts, even though he already found them somewhat unreliable.
Instead, he nodded and, with a flash of brilliance in his eyes, a satisfied expression appeared on his face.
Yue’er was only at the first-tier Qi Refining stage.
It seemed that the mid-grade defensive artifact he had prepared earlier would come in handy.
“Good, good, good. Ping’er truly has taken a good apprentice.” “Here, take these Thick Earth Amulets and this Peach Blossom Shield.”
“Consider them as greeting gifts from your uncle master.”
After giving the gifts.
He Song quickly received Yue’er’s gratitude.
Seeing this, Pinger also lit up, seemingly not expecting He Song to have such a gift- giving behavior.
He Song could understand.
After all, before this, Ping’er had always been the apprentice.
It was normal for her mind not to switch gears immediately after suddenly becoming a master.
After making small talk with Ping’er.
He Song led the unexpectedly visiting master and apprentice into his mansion.
It was still that living room.
And the same spirit fruits and spirit tea.
He Song and Ping’er sat facing each other, while Yue’er stood behind Ping’er, giving off a familiar scene of younger generations accompanying the older ones.
“Senior brother, little Yue’er has had a hard life since childhood. It’s her luck that she was found to have a Spirit Root and was sent to the Thick Earth Mansion for cultivation.”
“Now that she has become my apprentice, I will certainly take good care of her.”
“However, I am not familiar with these matters as it’s my first time experiencing them, so I hope that senior brother can give some guidance.”
“I’ll be at ease if she can be as cautious as senior brother when traveling the world in the future.”
As her eyes swept over Yue’er and then back to He Song, Ping’er thought of many things that He Song had taught her.
Things like tunneling light, Breath Concealment Skill, Earth Tunneling Skill, Soul Searching Skill, and more…
She learned all these things from He Song. Not only did they benefit her, they would also be greatly beneficial to Yue’er.
Although she had taken Yue’er as an apprentice now, they would inevitably have to part ways later.
If Yue’er could learn these things from He Song in advance, it would likely make her safer when traveling the world in the future.
That was,
precisely why she didn’t take Yue’er to see Master Qingy Yue first and instead brought her to He Song as the first person.
The underhanded techniques that He Song taught were too enticing.
She wanted not only to learn it herself, but she also wanted her disciple to learn it as well.
However, looking at the serious Ping’er in front of him, He Song was at a loss for words.
He never expected
that teaching her a few things on a whim back then would land him in such a mess.
Teaching an apprentice?
Why should he be the one to teach her apprentice?
But after giving it some thought, He Song quickly understood Ping’er’s intentions.
She didn’t expect him to teach Yue’er all the way to graduation.
Most likely, she just wanted Yue’er to learn some underhanded techniques from him.
Considering that,
With this understanding, He Song didn’t bother to refuse.
He just nodded and casually agreed.
“It’s a small matter. Just give her a Sound Transmission Amulet, and whenever she has any doubts, she can ask me.” Since it wouldn’t waste too much of his timeAnd it wouldn’t have any impact on him-
He Song felt indifferent about occasionally exchanging a few words. His help wouldn’t hurt.
If the teachings go wrong, she’s not his disciple anyway.
He doesn’t really care.
At the side-
Upon seeing He Song agreeing, Ping’er instantly gave Yue’er a look.
Seeing this, Yue’er immediately took out a Sound Transmission Amulet and respectfully placed it on the table in front of He Song.
He Song took out his own Sound Transmission Amulet and attached it to Yue’er’s amulet.
From that moment on, they could communicate through the amulets.
“Thank you, Uncle Master.”
After retrieving her Sound Transmission Amulet, He Song heard Yue’er’s timid voice in his ear.
“Thank you, Senior Brother.”
Ping’er’s voice also sounded in He Song’s ear at the same time.
Facing the gratitude of the master and apprenticeHe Song remained expressionless on the surface.
However, in his heart, he felt that the master and apprentice seemed a bit unreliable.
But before He Song could carefully ponder where this feeling came fromThe just grateful Ping’er spoke up again.
“By the way, Senior Brother, during this Outer Disciple Competition, Master Fa Xuan and Master Yan Shan announced something.”
“Thick Earth Sect has formed an offensive and defensive alliance with the neighboring Golden Sword Sect, Pure Yin Sect, and Jade Flower Sect, three major Golden Core Sects.”
“It’s unclear what major event happened, but it’s surprising that the four major
Golden Core Sects have joined forces.”
“This has never happened before.”
With a hint of confusion, Ping’er spoke while looking towards the entrance of the Thick Earth Sect, seemingly unable to wrap her head around it.
When she first heard the news, she was puzzled.
The four major Golden Core Sects, such as the Thick Earth Sect, Golden Sword Sect, Pure Yin Sect, and Jade Flower Sect, often clashed due to their close geographical scope.
Over the past thousands of years, small fights and scuffles between the four sects have never ceased.
Of course, there used to be a Seven Star Sect in this region in the past as well.
Unfortunately, the Seven Star Sect had just left under the leadership of Master
Tian Shu and was not included.
DUL-
In these thousands of years, it has never been heard that the four major Golden Core Sects would actually form an offensive and defensive alliance.
Just by looking at it, anyone could tell that something big might happen.
But what exactly-
Neither Master Fa Xuan nor Master Yan Shan said.
She didn’t have her own information channel, so naturally, she was clueless.
Under such doubt, she chose to tell He Song, hoping to see if he had any insider information.
Unfortunately-
He Song was the same as her, an Early Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
How could he possibly have any insider information.
Even He Song’s good friend Meng Guan was just a mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
This level seemed quite high, but in fact, within the Thick Earth Sect, it still did not touch the high ranks.
The real high-ranks of the Thick Earth SectWere always those two Golden Elixir Masters.
As for their Foundation Establishment Masters below them, even those with perfect Foundation Establishment couldn’t be called high-ranking.
“This… I don’t know, Senior Brother. But don’t worry, with the two Golden
Elixir Masters of our sect, ordinary calamities will not likely fall onto us.”
“Junior Sister, rest assured and focus on making yourself stronger, that’s the most important thing.”
Although after hearing Ping’er’s words, He Song felt that something was wrong, and there was even an urge to flee-
He Song didn’t show it to Ping’er. Instead, he advised her to relax and work on improving herself.
It’s not that He Song thought he couldn’t leave the Thick Earth Sect anymore.
But-
If He Song really wanted to flee, he couldn’t give any hints beforehandYou never know if you could escape once the secret is exposed.
Now, as a Foundation Establishment Master-
He is no longer just an insignificant Qi-refining outer disciple.
Although escaping as an Early Foundation Establishment Cultivator is easier compared to a Qi-refining outer disciple-
If confidentiality is not maintained, he may not even have a chance to escape.
At that time-
His fate would be out of his control>.
He Song did not want a single careless word to force him into any kind of war.
Previously, he had just been involved in a sect war between the Thick Earth Sect and the Seven Star Sect, which led him to leave and breakthrough his Foundation Establishment in the outside world.
And now?
Now there are four major Golden Core Sects, with at least five Golden Elixir Masters uniting together.
Even these five Golden Elixir Masters sensed danger and started to form a group.
Just a small-time Early Foundation Establishment Cultivator like himWould be doomed if he got accidentally involved.
As someone pursuing eternal lifeHe Song didn’t want to die.
Therefore, he needs to constantly leave escape routes for himself.
This is to ensure the continuation of his life.
And not to fight like others in this world, risking it all for a chance, or for a burst of passion like other cultivators do..
