Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation - Chapter 534
Chapter 534: Chapter 469: The Battle of the Golden Elixir_2
“However, it seems that Master Xuan Ying has gotten into a stalemate with Master Chang Ming, constantly trying to break the array outside of his gate.”
“Master Chang Ming was scared out of his wits and sought help from a Golden Elixir Elder within the Sun Faction.”
“That’s how I came to know about this.”
“But I don’t know what kind of grievances these two people have. Master Xuan Ying even went as far as attacking someone’s gate.”
“Alas, if this happened to us, I don’t know if the three of us at the Golden Elixir Early Stage would be able to withstand such a Late Stage of Golden Elixir cultivator.”
“It seems that we need to improve our cultivation as soon as possible.”
“At least, within this Golden Elixir Realm, we must not be inferior to others.”
He Song smiled as he read the major events Meng Guan had mentioned on the thin paper.
As expected.
Once his cultivation reached a certain level and he had more extensive sources of information, some news that would not have spread before would naturally enter his ears.
Like before, He Song had cultivated for over a hundred years but never heard of any situation where Golden Elixir Masters had a major conflict.
Now, as He Song’s cultivation had reached the Golden Elixir Realm and Meng Guan had joined the Sun Faction, gaining more extensive sources of information.
Such matters involving major conflicts between Golden Elixir Masters also entered his sights.
Although He Song didn’t know what grievances Master Xuan Ying and Master Chang Ming had between them, since the two had already fought once.
Unless it was a major life and death feud, Master Xuan Ying would certainly not attack someone else’s gate.
Perhaps, there is some kind of absurd story behind this.
However, since the incident just happened and Meng Guan had only just heard the news, He Song naturally had no way of knowing the truth.
As a result, He Song went for a brief guess and then threw it to the back of his mind, no longer dwelling on it.
After all, this kind of thing had nothing to do with him.
With that thought, He Song continued his seclusive cultivation, constantly honing his skills, intent on improving them as soon as possible.
However, the subsequent news from Meng Guan became increasingly outrageous.
Even He Song was left speechless after receiving this news.
In the following months.
Meng Guan continuously passed messages to He Song, informing him of the details of this matter one by one.
The origin of the incident.
It started when Master Xuan Ying went out for over a decade and found his cave mansion mysteriously destroyed, and then began looking for the person who destroyed his cave mansion.
At first, when Master Luo Jing broke through to the Golden Elixir Realm, Master Zi Shan held a grand gathering for Golden Elixir cultivators, inviting a large number of Golden Elixir cultivators in the surrounding area to attend.
It is said that Master Xuan Ying was also among those invited.
But after attending the Golden Elixir banquet, Master Xuan Ying went out to visit friends and traveled for a while.
It wasn’t until more than a decade later that he finally returned to his cave mansion.
However, when Master Xuan Ying returned to the place where his cave mansion was located, he found that it had been emptied by someone.
Inside the cave mansion, even his hair had not been left behind, let alone the precious things he had left behind.
Furious, Master Xuan Ying naturally wanted to get to the bottom of the matter.
As a result, Master Xuan Ying quickly went to the nearest Green Mountain Immortal City and received accurate information there.
Several years ago, a Qi Refining cultivator had found a great fortune at the location of Master Xuan Ying’s cave mansion.
And because the news leaked, it attracted a large number of Foundation Establishment Masters from the surrounding immortal cities to compete for this opportunity.
Subsequent Qi Refining cultivators who went there didn’t even leave a single brick for Master Xuan Ying.
So after learning this information, Master Xuan Ying quickly realized.
His cave mansion must have been broken into and a large number of precious items taken away during the ten odd years he was away.
Only the things that the Golden Elixir Masters didn’t care for were left, for these Foundation Establishment Masters and Qi Refining cultivators to fight over.
As a result, he began searching for the Golden Elixir Master who destroyed his cave mansion.
Upon pursuing further.
Master Xuan Ying, for some unknown reason, targeted Master Chang Ming as the culprit who had destroyed his cave mansion.
Of course, it could also be that he was extremely upset and randomly picked a soft target to vent his anger.
Regarding why Master Xuan Ying targeted Master Chang Ming.
No one came forward to confirm it, so they could only guess.
Even Master Chang Ming himself couldn’t explain it.
But Master Xuan Ying insisted vehemently that it must have been Master Chang Ming who destroyed his cave mansion and took away the treasures inside.
As for this, both Meng Guan and He Song were quite doubtful in their hearts.
After all, Master Chang Ming held a powerful Golden Core force, and he should have been guarding the sect in normal days.
How could this be the case?
However, since Master Xuan Ying had already knocked on the door, others who were not involved naturally wouldn’t pay too much attention to whether what he said was true or false.
Both were Golden Core Masters, and they had already fought once.
Next, let’s see if Master Chang Ming can survive.
And just as the Golden Core Masters who knew about this matter were waiting for the next development:
A Golden Elixir Elder from the Sun Faction had come to aid Master Chang Ming.
Hindered by the Golden Elixir Elder from Sun Faction, even Master Xuan Ying would not dare to be too excessive.
After all, Sun Faction was a Nascent Soul Upper Sect, and there were many Golden Elixir Elders within it.
Although a single Elder might not be able to defeat him, if it came to a group fight:
That Golden Elixir Elder from Sun Faction should be very skilled.
Therefore:
With the mediation of a Golden Elixir Elder from Sun Faction, Master Xuan Ying and Master Chang Ming went through some negotiations.
In the end, Master Chang Ming had to pay a huge price to calm Master Xuan Ying from holding a grudge over this matter.
However, at the same time:
Master Xuan Ying put out a statement.
He had already found out that the destruction of his cave mansion had nothing to do with Master Chang Ming, and the compensation Master Chang Ming had paid was only the cost of his previous actions.
Next, Master Xuan Ying would continue to investigate the matter of his cave mansion being destroyed.
In this way:
The once noisy conflict between the two Golden Core Masters had finally calmed down.
But it was unknown if there would be any more unlucky people stumbling upon Master Xuan Ying’s muzzle in the future.
At the same time, many Golden Core Masters secretly guessed what treasure had been taken from Master Xuan Ying’s cave mansion that made him unable to resist taking action against other Golden Core Masters.
When Meng Guan informed He Song about this matter:
He Song was still refining high-quality Artifacts in his cave mansion.
After seeing this news, a thought quickly flashed through He Song’s mind.
“Could it be… that this Master Xuan Ying is the owner of the cave mansion I had looted before?”
“To think that the materials meant for refining life-bound Artifacts were taken away overnight.”
“Even the cave mansion was destroyed.”
“All the precious items in the mansion had been taken.”
“Even, as the rumor goes, many cultivators had gone there afterward, scraping a few layers off the ground.”
“With such a miserable scene and massive loss, no wonder Master Xuan Ying was so upset.”
“Fortunately, I didn’t leave any clues when I left last time. Otherwise, if I were found out, the consequences would be unimaginable.”
“This is a person who has reached the Later Stage of Golden Elixir and will soon step into the Golden Elixir Great Perfection.”
“Next, things may not be peaceful in the surrounding Immortal States and Immortal Cities.”
As these thoughts flashed through his heart, the more He Song thought about it, the more he believed that Master Xuan Ying was the owner of the cave mansion he had looted before.
Back then, Master Luo Jing reached the realm of Golden Core and organized a celebration for the occasion.
He had been on his way there himself.
Presumably, Master Xuan Ying had done the same.
But unexpectedly, he had not returned for ten years.
During these ten years, He Song had completely comprehended the Phantom Tracing Array and entered the Array Skills, clearing out the entire cave mansion.
At present, the huge cauldron and the materials for refining life-bound Artifacts within it were still being burned by Earth Fire in He Song’s cave mansion.
