Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation - Chapter 306:
Chapter 306: Chapter 298: Meeting an Old Friend Again
Translator: 549690339
As the spirit boat controlled by He Song descended from the sky and landed in the valley, Su Qian’s slightly restrained voice followed.
“Qian, Qian’er has met Master.”
Seeing Su Qian again, she had changed from a young girl to a now slightly older girl.
After several decades, He Song’s appearance remained unchanged.
Similarly, Su Qian’s appearance also remained unchanged.
Therefore, Su Qian was able to recognize He Song’s appearance and aura at first glance, and bowed in greeting.
However, unlike the past.
This time they were face to face, instead of only communicating via letters.
As a result, upon seeing He Song, Su Qian lowered her head in panic, hardly daring to look at him.
This was how Qi Refining cultivators typically reacted in front of Foundation Establishment Masters.
Having seen this many times, He Song had naturally grown accustomed to it.
He didn’t pay attention to Su Qian’s lowered head. After giving a slight nod, he said.
“Good, your cultivation has improved, and you have broken through from the seventh-tier of Qi Refining to the eighth-tier of Qi Refining. You should be close to the ninth-tier now.”
The Qi Condensing Elixir is a high-quality elixir, used daily by cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining, and is very effective.
As a cultivator of the Immortal Pavilion, Su Qian’s annual salary might not be very high, and purchasing elixirs might be somewhat difficult for her.
Therefore, upon meeting again, He Song casually gifted her a few bottles of Qi Condensing Elixirs, as a reward for her years of continuous letter transmissions.
After He Song handed the Qi Condensing Elixirs to Su Qian.
She trembled and bowed once again.
“Thank you, Master, for your generous gift. Qian’er is deeply grateful.”
However, He Song didn’t care much about it.
It was just a few bottles of Qi Condensing Elixir.
For He Song, who was now a Master of Elixir Refining, it was simply an elixir that he could casually refine.
Although these bottles of Qi Condensing Elixir would be worth several hundred spirit stones if sold in the outside world, in He Song’s possession, all he needed were some spirit medicines.
After gesturing that there was no need for thanks.
He Song casually beckoned, resulting in a dense array of spirit stones appearing before him.
The spirit stones were dazzling, and under the sunlight, they appeared even more radiant.
“Here are one thousand spirit stones, as payment for the letters you have transmitted for me over the years.”
“If there is any excess, consider it as payment for future letters.”
“When I have time, I will visit this place again and make up for any outstanding spirit stones.”
“Make sure not to slack in transmitting letters for me each month.”
“I shall take my leave now.”
Leaving a final sentence, He Song stepped onto the spirit boat.
As He Song urged his mana, the white jade-cast spirit boat soared into the sky and sped off into the distance. Remaining behind.
Within the valley.
Noticing that He Song had already controlled the spirit boat and left this place, Su Qian cautiously raised her head, examining her surroundings.
Seeing that there was no one around, and only one thousand spirit stones shimmering brightly beside her.
A look of surprise appeared on Su Qian’s face.
A thousand spirit stones!
This amount, even now that Su Qian was at the eighth-tier of Qi Refining and a steward of the Immortal Pavilion, would still take her several years to save up.
On top of that, she received a few bottles of Qi Condensing Elixir!
The value of these bottles was also around several hundred spirit stones.
By adding it all together,
He Song’s visit this time had brought her more than a thousand spirit stones. With these more than a thousand spirit stones,
If she added what she had saved up over the years, she might even be able to compete for a Vein Protection Elixir, right?
To know that the price of a Vein Protection Elixir is basically around two thousand spirit stones.
However, her current cultivation was only at the eighth -tier of Qi Refining.
When her cultivation reached the Qi Refinement Great Perfection Realm, and she officially challenged the Foundation Establishment Realm, her wealth would naturally be even more abundant.
By that time, purchasing a Vein Protection Elixir would certainly be more than enough.
With all these thoughts flashing through her mind, Su Qian collected the thousand spirit stones in front of her and gazed towards the horizon.
Giving a deep bow in the direction He Song left.
“Thank you, Master, for your generosity. From now on, Qian’er will, as always…
no, I will be even more diligent in gathering information and delivering messages to Master.”
As she spoke, determination flickered in Su Qian’s eyes.
Since her cultivation was at the third-tier of Qi Refining, she had been gathering information for He Song and transmitting it every month.
However, after so many years had passed, she had little to no hope that He Song would come back to this place and give her the spirit stones for transmitting the letters.
After all, once she found out that He Song was a lofty Foundation
Establishment Master ,
She felt that a small Qi Refining cultivator like herself would not be noticed by him.
Being able to work for a Foundation Establishment Master was already something worth bragging about, so how could she still request spirit stones?
But unexpectedly,
Just a few days ago, He Song suddenly mentioned that he would be passing by the Flying Cloud Immortal Mansion, and asked her to find a hidden location and await his arrival.
At that time, she was skeptical.
However, she didn’t expect that after she had chosen the place and informed He Song of it, the scene described above would occur.
Not until there were several bottles of Qi Condensing Elixir in her hand and a neat pile of one thousand spirit stones before her, did Su Qian realize the truth.
It turned out… her previous doubts were due to her own narrow-mindedness.
It turned out that Master He Song, who was in the Foundation Establishment realm, had seen and remembered everything she had done.
It turned out that her constantly passing on information to He Song could bring such generous rewards to herself.
Suddenly, she had gained a fortune.
He Song’s image in Su Qian’s heart instantly grew taller.
And this was the reason why she said those words at this moment.
It wasn’t until He Song’s departing figure vanished from the horizon that Su Qian quietly returned to the Flying Cloud Immortal Mansion, without telling anyone about the incident.
Through her many years of interactions with He Song, Su Qian had developed her own understanding of caution.
Although He Song had never taught her by personal example, his way of dealing with the world had subtly influenced Su Qian, making her especially cautious.
After leaving the Flying Cloud Immortal Mansion,
He Song continued to head southward.
Cloud State Mansion was located in the heartland of Cloud State. After leaving Flying Cloud Immortal Mansion, He Song still had a long way to go to reach Cloud State Mansion.
On this journey,
as he was within the sphere of influence of the Yuanying Upper Sect Sun Faction, the places he needed to pass through might have many Golden Elixir forces and Foundation Establishment clans.
Thus, this journey was actually not an easy one.
However, since He Song’s cultivation had already reached the Late Foundation Establishment stage, he was qualified to travel outside of the sect.
The various dangers along this journey couldn’t touch him at all.
After revealing his cultivation to be at the Late Foundation Establishment stage, He Song controlled the spirit boat, constantly heading towards the location of Cloud State Mansion.
On the way, he did not encounter any crisis.
On the contrary, when he encountered less cultivated cultivators on the road, they would usually make way for him willingly.
This was true for cultivators at the Qi Refining stage, as well as for Foundation Establishment Masters.
Meanwhile, He Song continued to sell various items along the way.
Such as Foundation Establishment elixirs, Foundation Establishment spirit amulets, and objects he didn’t need, as well as the spoils of war obtained from the Golden Snake Immortal Mansion.
All these items were gradually sold by He Song.
Every time he passed an Immortal City, he would enter and sell some of the items he had on him.
Now, he was already within the Sun Faction’s sphere of influence.
He didn’t need to worry about selling these items and arousing suspicion from others.
Especially those magical artifacts he had looted from the Golden Snake Immortal Mansion, which were exchanged by He Song for quite a few spirit stones.
He hadn’t sold these artifacts in the Thick Earth Sect and the Jade Flower Sect’s sphere of influence because they could have been noticed by people from the Golden Sword Sect.
However, now that He Song was under the influence of the Sun Faction,
the numerous cultivators here couldn’t possibly detect the whereabouts of these artifacts even if he sold hundreds of them.
He had kept these artifacts for dozens of years, but their prices had not changed at all.
Furthermore, even if they were noticed by people from the Golden Sword Sect, they could only trace these artifacts to having been sold within the Sun Faction’s sphere of influence.
They wouldn’t be able to trace them back to He Song himself.
In this way, He Song continually dealt with the items on his person while on his journey to Cloud State.
As a result, the number of spirit stones on his person rapidly increased along with his actions.
According to He Song’s estimate,
If he sold all the things he didn’t need, as well as the products of his Elixir Tao and Amulet Tao, the spirit stones he would have on his person would most likely amount to several hundred thousand, or even over a million.
He Song’s Medicine Garden had been harvested three times.
The Foundation Establishment elixirs refined from the spirit medicines in the garden were quite numerous.
Additionally, the occasional Foundation Establishment spirit amulets he drew, although not many, also had some value.
When all of these were taken together, it was no surprise that he could gather this many spirit stones.
After all, he was proficient in Elixir Tao, Amulet Tao, and Array Tao.
The three combined elements of the Hundred Skills of Cultivation Truth could naturally create a wealth that one could imagine. However, despite this,
He Song still had a hint of worry in his heart.
He had never participated in an auction and was not very clear about the prices of items at auctions.
Especially the Purple Sky Meditation Skill, which he had set his sights on, he was unsure of its exact price.
If it was extremely expensive, he couldn’t help but worry if he had enough spirit stones to bid for it.
And that was the reason he continued to sell items in his possession along the way, hoping to gain more spirit stones.
Of course, if even several hundred thousand or over a million spirit stones couldn’t secure this skill, He Song didn’t think that was likely.
Therefore, he only had a faint worry in his heart, but he continued with his plan of selling items..
