Chapter 239: Chapter 231: An Innocent Commoner

As such, He Song could naturally achieve his goal quickly.
And it wouldn’t cause any ripple of disturbance.
After watching Su Qian’s figure disappear into the distance.
He Song only waited briefly before he saw Su Qian’s figure, just like before, quickly return to stand before him.
However, at this time, there was an additional tray in Su Qian’s hand, and on the tray were several jade slips emitting radiant light.
“Sir, this jade slip records the distribution of the surrounding forces.”
“In this second jade slip, it records the locations of various opportunities in the surrounding area.”
“In this third jade slip, it records the forces that cannot be provoked in the surroundings, as well as the names of powerful cultivators.”
“In this fourth jade slip, it records the local customs and practices of the surrounding places, and so on.”
“As for the more detailed map that Sir wanted, I have searched the entire Spirit Skill Pavilion and found only maps of the surrounding three Immortal States. I don’t know if Sir is satisfied?”
Placing the tray with jade slips in front of He Song, Su Qian looked at him cautiously, a fleeting look of worry in her eyes.
These things were truly the closest to what He Song had described that she could find.
If He Song was still not satisfied, she feared that even scouring the entire Flying Cloud Immortal Mansion wouldn’t yield anything better.
Therefore, when she looked at He Song, the fleeting look of worry appeared in her eyes.
However, just when Su Qian was feeling uneasy, it seemed as if time itself had stopped.
He Song was quite satisfied with the jade slips that lay before him.
“Not bad, you’ve shown diligence.”
After picking up a jade slip casually and praising it, He Song placed the jade slip on his forehead.
Instantly, a large amount of information poured into He Song’s mind from the jade slip and was deeply engraved in his memory.
As long as He Song was willing, he could remember these things at any time.
After receiving the information from one of the jade slips, He Song quickly picked up another one.
So it went back and forth.
All the jade slips that Su Qian had placed in the tray had been picked up by He Song.
The various pieces of information recorded in the jade slips were all engraved in He Song’s memory.
After engraving all of the information in his memory, He Song exhaled, and looked at Su Qian who was right in front of him.
The map had been obtained.
The various pieces of information about the surroundings had also been recorded.
Next, it was time to leave this place and find a suitable location to establish a secret cave mansion.
However.
As He Song glanced at Su Qian, a thought popped into his head.
This Su Qian.
In the Flying Cloud Immortal Mansion’s Spirit Skill Pavilion, the cultivators she encountered were mostly outsiders.
When outsiders came to the Flying Cloud Immortal Mansion, they couldn’t avoid discussing various matters. The level of information she could access was evident.
If He Song allowed Su Qian to help him gather various pieces of information from the surroundings, even if he was far away in the Thick Earth Sect, he could be informed about the various events occurring within the Sun Faction, right?
Knowing in advance about various major and minor events happening here might be even more accurate than the information he could obtain from the Thick Earth Sect.
He could predict some events in advance.
As this idea struck him, He Song’s gaze towards Su Qian instantly brightened.
“Come with me, I want to make a deal with you.”
Looking around and seeing the noisy crowd, He Song spoke and led Su Qian back in the direction they had arrived from.
He remembered, the secluded corner where Su Qian had been slacking off earlier.
Over there, he didn’t need to worry about their conversation being overheard by others.
Moreover.
That was the place where he had caught Su Qian slacking off.
In that place, even if Su Qian wished to refuse the deal, she would have to think about the small handle he had on her.
Although this little leverage wouldn’t have too deep of an impact, the matter he proposed was not a big one either.
It was merely to have her periodically send him information.
It wasn’t asking her to be a spy.
Even if she was caught, there wouldn’t be any punishment.
In this way, the chances of Su Qian agreeing to his proposal were quite high.
If the lure of spirit stones was added into the mix, then this matter could basically be considered settled.
He led Su Qian back to their original spot.
Within a secluded corner.
He Song quickly reached a cooperation agreement with Su Qian.
At the beginning of each month, Su Qian would provide He Song with information.
Each time she provided information, he would give her a spirit stone as a reward.
For a small cultivator at the third-tier Qi Refining level, earning a spirit stone just by delivering information once a month could be considered excellent treatment.
Keep in mind that Su Qian’s official position in the Spirit Skill Pavilion only provided her an annual salary of twenty spirit stones, just enough to cover her food and lodging.
As for He Song’s offer?
A spirit stone per month.
A total of twelve spirit stones a year.
Apart from not covering food and lodging, by sending He Song information once a month, her annual income would almost double.
Moreover, to ensure long-term cooperation, He Song had already paid in advance sixty spirit stones, to be used for the costs of the first five years.
After five years, each time Su Qian provided He Song with information, he would note down a spirit stone for her.
Once a certain amount of spirit stones were accumulated, He Song would come to this place when he had free time and give her the spirit stones all at once.
In this way, with the allure of the spirit stones, Su Qian agreed hastily, repeatedly voicing her acceptance, fearing He Song would change his mind.
Seeing this, He Song exchanged Sound Transmission Skills with her so that they could contact each other at any time using Sound Transmission.
As for the Sound Transmission Amulet.
A person like Su Qian, a minor cultivator with the third tier of Qi Refining, wouldn’t be able to use such a thing.
If He Song gave her a Sound Transmission Amulet, Su Qian might be killed as soon as He Song left.
A man without guilt is one who carries a treasure.
Carrying a Sound Transmission Amulet with the cultivation of the third-tier Qi Refining.
It’s like a three-year-old child carrying a gold brick on the street.
Although many people would hesitate, thinking she must have a powerful backing.
But there are always those who do not care about their lives and would grab it and run.
When that happens.
He Song’s source of information would naturally be cut off.
This is also why He Song had agreed with Su Qian to use the Sound Transmission Skill to stay in contact.
Leaving fifty spirit stones behind.
Bidding farewell to Su Qian.
He Song soon left the Flying Cloud Immortal Mansion.
Tens of miles away from the Flying Cloud Immortal Mansion, He Song stopped, his figure instantly tunneled underground as he activated the Earth Tunneling Skill and rushed in a certain direction.
Inside the Spirit Skill Pavilion of Flying Cloud Immortal Mansion.
He Song had already learned about the various Immortal Mansions, Immortal Cities, and even the Immortal State capitals in the surrounding three states.
At this moment, tunneling underground.
He Song had already memorized the locations of these Immortal Mansions, Immortal Cities, and Immortal State capitals and had considered them all one by one.
He had determined several places where he could establish a secret cave mansion.
That was why he tunneled underground and started moving towards his destination.
It’s worth mentioning that.
The sphere of influence of the Sun Faction was truly vast, with He Song only having maps of three states, yet he had already discovered nearly a hundred Immortal Cities and three Immortal State capitals on the map.
In such a situation, the Immortal Pavilions subordinate to these Immortal Cities, as well as the connecting points of various Immortal Cities, were densely packed and extremely complex.
Fortunately, He Song didn’t need to find any scenic, blessed lands to establish his secret cave mansion.
It only needed to satisfy the requirements of being remote and hidden.
Otherwise, it would be rather difficult to find such a place.
Especially after learning that there were various dangerous lands, forbidden lands, and rich spirit lands within the sphere of influence of the Sun Faction.
He Song felt even more that his choice to study Array Skills back then was a stroke of genius.
If he hadn’t chosen to study Array Skills back then.
Perhaps he would have had to go to the Immortal Mansion, Immortal City, and Immortal State capital to increase his cultivation.
Going to the Immortal Mansion, Immortal City, and Immortal State capital, although there may be a rich spirit Qi, it would be bustling with people and not as safe as establishing one’s own cave mansion.
With such thoughts in mind, He Song continued to use the Mountain Escaping Skill to advance quickly towards his predetermined cave mansion location.
That place.
Was a barren, deserted area where hardly any cultivators would pass by.
At the same time, it was also a rarely trodden spot in the mortal realm.
The cultivators who walked out of the Immortal Mansions and Immortal Cities would never pass by this place.
Even Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators flying with tunneling light wouldn’t pass by here.
And this is exactly the perfect spot for He Song to create his hidden cave mansion.
Soon.
He Song arrived at his chosen location through Earth Tunneling.
He sent out his divine sense, scanning the surroundings.
Feeling that there was no one around, He Song quickly found a stone mountain in this area.
Just as he had done before at the Pure Yin Sect, He Song quickly carved out a cave mansion that reached a depth of a thousand meters in the stone mountain.
Then, also as before, he hid this newly excavated cave mansion.
He Song’s figure then took to the sky, turning into a blue tunneling light and flying off into the distance.
In this way.
He Song now had hidden cave mansions within the sphere of influence of both the Pure Yin Sect and the Sun Faction.
From now on, no matter what happens within the Four Sects Alliance led by the Thick Earth Sect, He Song would always have an escape route.
Moreover, this cave mansion is located within the sphere of influence of the Sun Faction, so if He Song were to flee here, he shouldn’t get involved in the war again.
However.
Just as He Song had just set up a hidden cave mansion in the sphere of influence of the Sun Faction and was preparing to continue on to establish a few more hidden cave mansions.
A sound-transmitting paper crane has crossed over an unknown distance at a great speed towards He Song.
At this moment, He Song had transformed into a tunneling light and was flying at high speed through the sky.
However, the sound-transmitting paper crane coming from afar was extremely fast and quickly landed in front of He Song.
Seeing this, He Song frowned.
He released a thread of his Qi.
Only then did he pick up the sound-transmitting paper crane in front of him and continued flying forward without reducing his speed.
At the same time, He Song also had some doubts in his heart.
Now that he already reached Foundation Establishment, most of his correspondences were made through Sound Transmission Amulets.
He didn’t know where this sound-transmitting paper crane came from and who would use a sound- transmitting paper crane to contact him.
Could it be…
The Su Qian that he had just collaborated with earlier?
Had news come so soon?
With questions in his mind, He Song unfolded the sheet of paper in his hand, and his gaze swept across the paper.
“Mrs. Chen….’
