Chapter 162 - 162: 162: Golden Elixir Plot
What achievements did the several Foundation Establishment Masters accomplish when they left the sect?
Were the evil cultivators outside Green Wall Immortal City wiped out?
These were matters He Song was curious about at the moment.
Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.
After all, it was the starting point of He Song’s immortal journey, and if it hadn’t been for Meng Guan bringing him into the Thick Earth Sect, He Song might still be living there by now.
He Song would naturally pay attention to the situation of Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.
Meng Guan and Wei Fan had also lived in Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion for a long time.
They would be interested in this matter as well.
Moreover, both of them were Foundation Establishment Masters.
Their sources of information were much better than He Song’s.
Therefore, asking these two was the best way for He Song to learn about the situation.
“Evil cultivators attacked the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion?”
On the side, upon hearing He Song’s questions, Meng Guan and Wei Fan glanced at each other, and their expressions changed quickly.
After a moment of silence.
The two looked at each other again and saw a hint of hesitation in each other’s eyes.
Originally, this matter was not to be disclosed.
But considering He Song’s relationship with them, since He Song asked, they naturally couldn’t conceal it.
A moment later.
In the end, it was Meng Guan who spoke first.
“It is said that the attack on Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion was planned by people from other sects, which is why the Immortal Pavilion suffered heavy losses.”
“The unknown Foundation Establishment Master who blocked Master Cheng Shan is of considerable strength.”
“This matter has spread far and wide, causing a great blow to our sect’s reputation.”
“The Sect Leader has sent several Masters to thoroughly investigate the matter, but due to the other party’s deep concealment, they have yet to find anything.”
“Now, the Sect Leader is preparing to intensify the investigation.”
“There should be news soon.”
“However, if Daoist friend wants to get involved, I have to advise you, there are secrets in this matter…not to be participated in by Qi Refining stage disciples.”
Looking at He Song, Meng Guan carefully chose his words, finally informing He Song about the hidden secret.
At the same time, he didn’t forget to caution He Song not to get involved in this matter.
There were many secrets in this matter.
Unfortunately, as the three of them were currently in the Thick Earth Sect, speaking rashly might provoke the Sect Leader’s wrath.
Thus, Meng Guan cautiously weighed his words, trying to make He Song understand the danger of the situation while losing interest in it.
He really meant well.
On the side, Wei Fan nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Seeing this, He Song was shocked.
But looking at Meng Guan and Wei Fan’s hesitation, He Song quickly realized the situation.
As Meng Guan said, there were indeed secrets in this matter.
However, because his cultivation wasn’t high enough and he had not yet reached the Foundation Establishment stage, the two could only ambiguously warn him, so that he didn’t get involved in this matter.
But… what was involved in this event that would make Meng Guan and Wei Fan, the two Foundation Establishment Masters, so tight-lipped?
He Song’s gaze flickered as he looked around.
Could it be that someone had already secretly informed the two of them about the hidden secret, and that they couldn’t mention it?
Moreover, looking at their hesitation, was it possible that someone was monitoring them?
Who could it be?
The name Master Fa Xuan suddenly flashed through He Song’s mind.
He immediately became alert.
That’s right!
Only the Sect Leader, Master Fa Xuan, could make the two Foundation Establishment Masters so tight-lipped, and to warn their own friends vaguely.
It was as if they were being watched all the time.
Instantly, He Song realized that he no longer wanted to explore the matter further.
However, even though his heart was filled with shock and awe, He Song’s expression remained calm and composed, showing no sign of any change.
With a slight shake of his head, He Song spoke.
“I see. In that case, I’ll just wait for the news to come back.”
“However, I am not interested in participating in this matter, but since Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion is the starting point of my immortal journey, I will naturally pay some attention to it. Since there are hidden secrets, let it be.” “When the secret is revealed in the future, I will naturally know.”
With that, He Song shook his head, indicating that he didn’t care about these matters.
Afterward, He Song seemed to unintentionally mention something else.
“Moreover, I am now at the ninth-tier Qi Refining stage, and soon I will need to prepare for my Foundation Establishment. After today, most of my energy will be focused on that.”
First, he made it clear that he was just casually asking and didn’t care about it.
Then, he mentioned that he would be going into seclusion to prepare for his Foundation Establishment, indicating that he had no interest in participating in this matter.
After doing all this, He Song secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In this way, even if Master Fa Xuan was eavesdropping, there wouldn’t be any flaws to find.
Moreover, would the Golden Elixir Master really have so much free time to monitor everyone in the sect?
He Song was skeptical.
However, since he was not the Golden Elixir Master, He Song couldn’t know for sure.
Nevertheless, whether Master Fa Xuan would monitor the people in the sect or not didn’t matter much to He Song.
Even if he wanted to monitor them, he would be targeting Foundation Establishment Masters.
It was unlikely that he would pay attention to outer disciples at the Qi Refining stage like himself.
Moreover, He Song had been prepared for this even before joining the Thick Earth Sect.
That was why he never set up a small Spirit-Gathering Array inside the sect and never showed his Array Tao talent.
Golden Elixir Master, huh.
Who knows what he’s thinking?
It’s better to hide his talents than to live in fear every day.
At worst, he could move out of the sect when he could set up a Smoke Array to deceive the divine sense scanning.
With the power of the Smoke Array, He Song didn’t have to worry about being discovered or monitored outside the sect.
By then.
Before this, He Song was merely a small Qi Refining stage cultivator.
Thinking about it, he shouldn’t have been monitored in real time,
On the side, after hearing He Song say this, Meng Guan and Wei Fan exchanged glances, and they both let out a sigh of relief in their hearts.
Fortunately,
He Song just asked casually.
If He Song continued to ask, they wouldn’t know how to respond.
According to the information they had received, the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion suffered heavy losses, and no other sect was involved.
It was a plan within the Thick Earth Sect.
Even the two of them were still not fully aware of this plan until now.
They only knew that Master Yan Shan’s faction and Master Fa Xuan’s faction had always been secretly competing against each other.
But due to the strong strength of their dual Golden Elixir masters, the two factions had gradually begun to show signs of cooperation.
As for how they would cooperate,
And what their ultimate goal was,
They didn’t have a clue.
That was something for the two Golden Elixir Masters to worry about above their heads.
As for the two newly promoted Foundation Establishment Masters, they only received some inaccurate information.
Since there were signs of cooperation, incidents would naturally occur.
This time, the attack on the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion was probably orchestrated by a Golden Elixir Master.
This was a scheme by a Golden Elixir Master.
If He Song barged into it recklessly, the consequences would be unpredictable.
At the same time, this information was known only to the Foundation
Establishment Masters, and Master Fa Xuan had asked them to keep it a secret.
This was also the reason why Meng Guan tried to persuade He Song and kept his mouth sealed.
If they weren’t in the Thick Earth Sect and worried that their conversation would be overheard,
With the relationship between the three of them, Meng Guan would have likely told He Song about this long ago, instead of just giving him a veiled warning.
At the same time, it was precisely because of the Golden Elixir Master’s scheme,
That the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion was attacked by “Evil Cultivators”.
If not for the Golden Elixir Master’s scheme,
There are many Immortal Pavilions under the Thick Earth Sect,
Why would the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion, which was guarded by Master Cheng Shan, be attacked in particular?
Why would Master Qingy Yue be the one to provide assistance from Green Wall Immortal City?
These two factions,
Used to be secretly competing against each other in the past.
How could Master Qingy Yue possibly go all the way to the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion to provide support?
The attack on the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion was just a starting point.
The real scheme might still be behind it.
As for the loose cultivators who died in the attack on the Bamboo Mountain
Immortal Pavilion, and other Qi Refining cultivators,
No one cared about their lives.
Anyway, just wait quietly for several decades, and the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion would once again become prosperous.
Decades were enough for enough loose cultivators to be born in the mortal world to fill in the various positions in the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.
Just like the high rent in the Immortal Pavilion, the Thick Earth Sect never cared whether ordinary loose cultivators and Qi Refining cultivators could afford it.
At the same time, in the eyes of a Golden Elixir Master, what does it matter if some ordinary loose cultivators and Qi Refining cultivators died?
With a Golden Elixir Master playing chess,
Being able to die in the chess game,
Was already an honor for them.
“I never thought that the clueless first-tier Qi Refining cultivator who just stepped into the Cultivation World back then would be about to establish his foundation now,”
Seeing that He Song no longer inquired about this matter, Meng Guan let out a sigh of relief, and casually teased him, quickly changing the topic.
Back then,
When He Song was in first-tier Qi Refining, Meng Guan was in the sixth-tier, and Wei Fan was in the seventh-tier.
The three of them got to know each other by coincidence, and after a few years of understanding, formed a small circle of three.
Since then, the three of them had different experiences,
But over the decades, their achievements had only gotten higher and higher.
Wei Fan and himself had already established their foundations.
Even He Song, who used to have the lowest cultivation level, had now reached the ninth-tier of Qi Refining.
“Yeah, not like you guys, who have already established your foundations.”
Shaking his head, He Song casually picked up a cup of tea, drained it, and a trace of melancholy appeared in his words.
As for establishing his foundation, He Song was not too worried.
Now,
He would have six Foundation Establishment Elixirs available for his first, or even his second attempt to establish his foundation.
Compared to others who could only take one Foundation Establishment Elixir and then start breaking through, He Song’s chances of success in establishing his foundation were much higher.
When loose cultivators attempt to establish their foundations, they would take the risk if they had only a Vein Protection Elixir.
Those with good luck would only get one Foundation Establishment Elixir.
When sect disciples established their foundation, one Foundation Establishment Elixir was the norm, along with a Foundation Establishment enlightenment.
What about He Song?
He had six Foundation Establishment Elixirs, several pieces of Foundation
Establishment enlightenment, and the secret method of Qi Sinking into Elixir Field Skill, which could increase the success rate of establishing his foundation.
Compared with loose cultivators, and even other sect disciples, He Song’s setup for establishing his foundation was luxurious.
In this case, He Song’s rate of successfully establishing his foundation was naturally very high.
Furthermore, if he failed once, He Song would have a second chance.
The second time, He Song would still have six Foundation Establishment Elixirs, and his chances of successfully establishing his foundation would not decrease in the slightest.
With the experience of failing the first time as an additional bonus,
In this way, establishing his foundation before the age of sixty had become a certainty for He Song.
However, upon hearing He Song’s words, Meng Guan’s face flashed with embarrassment and he quickly encouraged him.
“Fellow Taoist, why be like this? There’s a great chance for you in establishing your foundation as well. For now, it’s important to focus on reaching the Great Perfection of Qi Refining first. As for establishing your foundation, fellow
Taoist, you’ll surely succeed in one go!”
He thought He Song was lamenting the difficulty of establishing his foundation, and that was why he felt melancholic, so he hastened to remedy the situation.
But unbeknownst to him,
He Song didn’t care much about establishing his foundation at all.
This statement was merely a casual remark from He Song, with the melancholy in his tone just a feeling of nostalgia..
