Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation - Chapter 544
Chapter 544: Chapter 474: Never Forget for Eternity_2
However, for a Golden Elixir Master like himself, the mere verbal promise of a mortal could not stir a ripple in He Song’s heart.
To repay a Golden Elixir Master, even if a genius with three spirit roots emerged from Lin Cong’s descendants, it would still likely be a delusion.
After all, although He Song’s current cultivation level was only at the Golden Elixir Early Stage, it was unknown how much time would pass before a cultivator with spirit roots would appear in the Lin family.
By then, He Song’s cultivation level would naturally have increased as well.
Therefore, the difficulty of repaying He Song, for the Lin family at present, was probably as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
As various thoughts flashed through his mind, He Song watched Lin Chuan leave before turning his gaze to An Ning beside him.
If He Song’s guess was not wrong, Lin Chuan’s sudden appearance in front of him to discuss these matters must have had An Ning’s instigation behind it.
However, He Song had already heard about this matter from Su Qian’s mouth thirty years ago.
Initially, Su Qian thought He Song had left, but she didn’t expect him to be hidden nearby, secretly watching with his divine sense.
He had heard her instructions to An Ning to have members of the Lin Family speak of her merits in the future.
Originally, this matter was personally taught by Su Qian to An Ning, instructing her to do so when He Song returned.
Therefore, He Song was already aware of the full story.
Naturally, he didn’t have much objection to An Ning acting according to Su Qian’s instructions.
Nevertheless, he sighed in his heart.
Su Qian plotted every possible course but only managed to leave the opportunity for Foundation Establishment to An Ning.
He just didn’t know if An Ning herself could seize this opportunity and truly step into the Foundation Establishment Realm.
If she could really reach Foundation Establishment, it would indeed be worthy of Su Qian’s cultivation.
“An Ning thanks Sir, thank you for allowing members of the An Family to leave with us,” An Ning said gratefully, bowing respectfully to He Song as he looked at her.
An Ning was extremely grateful that He Song had allowed her to leave with the people of the An Family.
Although she had indeed ordered the members of the An Family to take care of the Lin family for thirty years,
and she had visited the Lin family frequently,
before He Song had openly allowed the members of the An family to leave together, she had no confidence in whether He Song would take her and the An family with him.
Even now, she was acting in accordance with Su Qian’s teachings.
Therefore, when He Song allowed the members of the An family and the Lin family to gather together and leave together earlier, An Ning’s gratitude could be easily imagined.
Now that members of the An family and the Lin family were all aboard He Song’s flying boat, she naturally needed to come and express her gratitude.
But after hearing An Ning’s words of thanks, He Song slightly shook his head at this moment.
“You’ve been working for me for thirty years now, there’s no need to be so polite.”
“Back then, when your Master Su Qian and I were acquainted for thirty years, we were quite familiar with each other, and we gradually began to explore the methods of Foundation Establishment in our conversations.”
“Since you’re her true disciple, I presume you must have heard many things about me from her.”
“The Foundation Establishment method I taught her back then, she must have passed it on to you as well.”
“In the letter she left for me before, she asked me to give you a Foundation Establishment Elixir to help you step into the Foundation Establishment Realm.”
“This matter, should not be difficult.”
“Once I settle you and others down, the Foundation Establishment Elixir will be handed over to you.”
“However, there’s one thing I must make clear beforehand.”
“Since you’re leaving the Flying Cloud Immortal Mansion, there’s no need to continue gathering information about it and reporting it to me.”
“Regardless of whether you can succeed in Foundation Establishment or not, let me know about the significant events that happen where you are in the future.”
“This matter, must never be interrupted.”
“Do you understand?”
With that said, He Song looked at An Ning beside him.
He saw An Ning already bowing in joy, nodding her head repeatedly, so excited that she couldn’t even speak.
He Song’s words held great significance.
First, he accepted her as part of his people, telling her not to act as an outsider.
Previously, even with Su Qian’s matchmaking, He Song had never treated her as one of his own.
All of this was only for Su Qian’s sake.
Furthermore, they didn’t pursue the matter of the Foundation Establishment technique she learned from Su Qian.
It should be known that a technique like the Foundation Establishment was extremely important to any Qi Refining cultivator or even to a small Qi Refining family.
If such a technique were put up for auction, it would be worth at least tens of thousands of spirit stones!
Tens of thousands of spirit stones! An Ning hadn’t even seen so many spirit stones in her entire cultivation journey up to this point.
But now, just because of a casual remark from He Song, this technique had fallen into her hands without anyone pursuing it.
Besides that, He Song also agreed to Su Qian’s request and decided to give her a Foundation Establishment Elixir.
A Foundation Establishment Elixir…
Although for He Song, who was already in the Golden Elixir Early Stage, a single Foundation Establishment Elixir was not really a big deal.
But for a Qi Refining Great Perfection cultivator like An Ning, just one Foundation Establishment Elixir was enough to change her life and her fate.
If she had good luck and actually stepped into the Foundation Establishment Realm with this elixir, her life would undergo a drastic change.
This was a Foundation Establishment Elixir after all.
If it were auctioned in any Immortal City, it could fetch tens of thousands of spirit stones.
Moreover, even if one successfully bid for it with tens of thousands of spirit stones, whether the Foundation Establishment Elixir could be taken away would still be an unknown.
In the Cultivation World, schemes and intrigues abounded. For just a single Foundation Establishment Elixir, even brothers and sisters turning on each other was not uncommon.
Yet now, with just one casual remark from He Song, it was given to her.
Although she hadn’t received the Foundation Establishment Elixir yet, An Ning believed that with He Song’s cultivation, he wouldn’t go back on his word.
And for this reason,
when An Ning heard He Song’s subsequent requests, she didn’t harbor any resentment in her heart.
Regardless of whether An Ning broke through to Foundation Establishment or not, and no matter where she was, as long as she was alive, she would need to provide He Song with news of her location every month.
This was no different from what she had been doing in the Flying Cloud Immortal Mansion.
She was already quite familiar with this task, having completed it for thirty years.
And so, after hearing He Song give her so many benefits and only requesting this much in return,
gratitude filled An Ning’s eyes as she looked at He Song.
A moment later, the recovered An Ning spoke her words of gratitude.
“Sir, I will remember your words.”
“From now on, whatever you say will guide me forward.”
“As long as you command it, sir, I will not refuse even if it means going through fire and water.”
“Whether I succeed in breaking through to Foundation Establishment or not, I will send you messages every month until the day I die.”
“If you don’t mind, sir, I can also select a successor to send messages for you when my lifespan is about to end, just like my Master.”
“I will never forget your kindness, sir, for the rest of my life.”
As An Ning deeply bowed to He Song, her face was solemn, and every word she said was true.
At this moment, An Ning’s thoughts were indeed as she had said.
In her heart, she held great respect for He Song at this moment.
Although she knew that He Song was so generous to her because of Su Qian’s relationship, An Ning bore no resentment in her heart.
Having lived together with her master, Su Qian, for decades, and being taught by her for decades,
An Ning should naturally remember such a kindness when Su Qian paved the way for her at the end of her life.
How could there be any resentment?
Seeing the respectfully bowing An Ning in front of him, He Song didn’t say much more. He just nodded to her and waved his hand to support her up with his mana.
After doing all this, He Song didn’t pay any more attention to the others on the flying boat, and just stood at the front of the boat, gazing far away into the distance.
He Song believed what An Ning said was true.
But,
human nature was the most complicated thing.
Although An Ning now held great reverence for He Song and even said she would never forget his kindness,
what if she later successfully broke through to the Foundation Establishment or even the Golden Elixir Realm? What would happen then?
