Chapter 163 - 163: 163: A Major Incident Occurs
But now, they had both become Foundation Establishment Masters.
Although he didn’t feel the disparity in their statuses and abilities too deeply because neither of them had deliberately alienated him, it was genuinely existent.
Foundation Establishment Masters and Qi Refining stage cultivators.
The difference between their statuses could not have been more stark.
It was clear from looking at Master Cheng Shan.
A single Foundation Establishment Master could manage an entire Immortal Pavilion.
How many Qi Refining stage cultivators were there in the entire pavilion? Perhaps hundreds or thousands?
Yet, wasn’t it still suppressed single-handedly by Master Cheng Shan?
With this kind of disparity in status and strength, He Song inevitably felt somewhat uncomfortable when facing his two friends.
Thus, his words carried a touch of melancholy.
Inside, his urgency for Foundation Establishment grew even stronger.
“This matter still needs to be carefully considered, and it’s too early to discuss it now.”
He Song waved his hand and did not tell his two friends about the matter he was already fully confident in.
He had too many secrets on him.
Once he spoke, his secrets might be exposed.
For example, where the six Foundation Establishment Elixirs came from.
Where the Qi Sinking into Elixir Field Skill came from.
Where so many spirit stones came from.
All these things were long-hidden secrets of He Song, and they absolutely must not be revealed to others.
Even if the two people before him were his good friends, it was still unacceptable.
As an everlasting being.
He Song knew that keeping his secrets was crucial to living longer.
Instead of letting others feel at ease by revealing his own secrets and attracting covetousness, it was better to hide them deep within his heart.
Only in this way could He Song continue living here as an ordinary cultivator.
If his secrets were discovered.
Death.
For him, it might even be a luxury.
In order not to endanger himself, He Song had to keep his secrets tightly guarded.
He must not tell others about them.
Seeing that He Song didn’t want to talk about it, Meng Guan and Wei Fan assumed that He Song had concerns about his future Foundation Establishment.
After casting each other a glance, they didn’t mention Foundation Establishment again.
Instead, the topic drifted further and further away.
Having completely glossed over the previous two topics.
Afterward, the three of them talked about other trivial matters and enjoyed the conversation.
It wasn’t until several hours later that He Song left and bid farewell.
Leaving the mountain peak where the two friends resided in their cave mansion.
He Song walked towards his small courtyard.
His cultivation had already reached the ninth-tier Qi Refining stage.
It was important to quickly raise his cultivation to Qi Refining great perfection and then enter the Foundation Establishment Realm.
As for other matters.
They were all merely side issues.
Only after he successfully reached Foundation Establishment would he truly be able to soar freely in the vast sky and have the wide ocean at his disposal.
Gazing at the distant mountain peaks layered one after another, He Song took one last look at the cave mansion where Meng Guan and Wei Fan resided.
After letting out a sigh.
He Song’s figure quickly disappeared into the distance.
Thick Earth Sect.
Outer disciples’ living area.
Within He Song’s courtyard.
He Song brewed himself a pot of good tea.
As the fragrance of the tea wafted throughout the courtyard, He Song took a deep breath and finally relaxed.
Gently taking a sip of tea.
Feeling his cultivation increase slightly, a satisfied expression appeared on He Song’s face.
Drinking tea to increase cultivation was something He Song had been longing for a long time.
Now.
The once unattainable Green Immortal Spirit Tea seemed insignificant to He Song now.
The tea that He Song was drinking currently was several times better than the Green Immortal Spirit Tea.
The cultivation increase from drinking it was even greater.
Of course, the price was also higher.
However, in order to increase his cultivation at the fastest speed possible, He Song would not feel sorry for spending these spirit stones.
Spirit tea, elixirs, spirit rice, demonic beast meat, and so on.
He Song would accept anything and everything that could be bought with spirit stones, which could also accelerate his cultivation progress, and he had prepared some of these for himself.
As a result, He Song’s cultivation was advancing extremely fast.
Tasting the tea fragrance in his mouth.
The words Meng Guan had said to He Song earlier flashed through his mind.
“The attack on Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion was said to have been plotted by someone from another sect.”
“This matter has spread far and wide, dealing a great blow to the reputation of our sect.”
“The other party is hiding too deep, and we haven’t been able to find any clues yet.”
“Sect Leader is preparing to intensify the investigation.” “I believe there will be news about it coming back soon.”
“There’s more to this matter than meets the eye…”
The hesitation in Meng Guan’s eyes when he spoke back then, and the words he finally voiced after careful consideration.
All of these thoughts flashed through He Song’s mind like a montage of images.
For a moment, He Song’s eyebrows furrowed, and his mind began to contemplate the hidden secrets behind this matter.
It was said that the attack on the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion was planned by someone from his sect.
Meanwhile, the news of the Thick Earth Sect’s Immortal Pavilion being attacked by evil cultivators had spread far and wide, causing a significant impact on the sect’s reputation.
At this time, the surrounding sects might be just watching the excitement.
Isn’t the Thick Earth Sect known for having two Golden Elixir cultivators? How come they can’t even protect their own Immortal Pavilion?
However, due to the deep concealment of the other party, even after dispatching several Foundation Establishment Masters to investigate, they had not been able to find anything for such a long time.
Now, Master Fa Xuan was preparing to intensify the investigation.
Yet, Meng Guan said that there should be news soon and that there were hidden secrets involved.
What secrets?
How did Meng Guan know that the news would come back soon?
With a trace of doubt in his eyes, He Song thought it over left and right before eventually giving up.
“Forget it, forget it. They said that the news would come back soon, right? When the time comes, just listen to the news, and it should be clear what the secrets are.”
Shaking his head and sighing, He Song finished his tea and quickly entered his meditation room to start cultivating.
Of course.
He Song didn’t enter seclusive cultivation but spent most of his time every day on cultivation.
The remaining time was used for other things.
For example, learning skills.
Now, He Song’s cultivation had reached the ninth-tier Qi Refining.
There was no need to be as sleepless as he was two years ago, practicing in seclusion day and night without eating.
In his leisure time, He Song also began to study the Seven Fragrance Tracking Skill and the Qi Sinking into Elixir Field Skill.
Ejavaxt, while studying these two skills, He Song did not forget to continue researching the Smoke Array.
While cultivating and studying skills, He Song also did not miss any news from the outside world.
He wanted to see what kind of news Meng Guan said would be coming back soon.
Just like that.
Time passed day by day.
He Song’s cultivation gradually improved.
His understanding of the Seven Fragrance Tracking Skill, the Qi Sinking into Elixir Field Skill, and even the Smoke Array grew stronger with time.
In the blink of an eye, several months had passed.
On this day.
After finishing his cultivation, He Song came out of the meditation room and saw a sound-transmitting paper crane floating quietly outside the room.
Seeing this, He Song casually released a trace of his energy.
The paper crane immediately turned into a thin piece of paper and fell into He Song’s hand.
“Mr. He, today I happened to see several Foundation Establishment Masters riding spirit boats toward the west. Judging by their destination, it seems to be where the Thick Earth Sect’s mountain gate is located.”
“I believe that there must be progress in the investigation of the Bamboo
Mountain Immortal Pavilion attack, and these Foundation Establishment
Masters should be returning to report their findings.”
“Regarding the matter of the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion attack, I hope that you would inform me when you receive news.”
“Although I have already secured my foothold in Green Wall Immortal City, the
Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion is the starting point of my Immortal
Path. ”
“I want to know a thing or two about what happened at the Bamboo Mountain
Immortal Pavilion.”
“I will be grateful to you in advance.”
“Zhao Lin.”
He Song’s eyebrows raised as he scanned the lines of text on the paper.
Several Foundation Establishment Masters were heading west?
The location of the Thick Earth Sect’s mountain gate was to the west of Green Wall Immortal City.
According to the letter from Zhao Lin, those Foundation Establishment Masters should be able to return to the Thick Earth Sect from Green Wall Immortal City shortly.
Once these Foundation Establishment Masters return and report the results of their investigation to the Sect Leader, the news will probably be released.
By then, the events that occurred in the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion should become clear.
However.
He Song couldn’t help but think of Meng Guan’s hesitating expression when he first asked him about the matter.
At that time, Meng Guan said that there were hidden secrets involved in this
case.
But what kind of secrets were they? He never revealed them.
Moreover, Meng Guan also said at the time that there should be news coming back soon.
Now, the return of those Foundation Establishment Masters seemed to prove that his words were not false.
But, how could Meng Guan have known several months in advance that the news would be coming back soon?
Could it be…
He Song’s eyes became distant, and he glanced at the location ot the Thick Earth Sect’s main peak before shaking his head, not thinking any further.
Since Zhao Lin had already contacted him through a sound transmission to get updated on the matter, all he had to do was wait in the sect.
Once those Foundation Establishment Masters return, he should naturally know what happened at the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.
He Song put away the piece of paper.
After pondering for a moment, he lost interest in other matters and simply returned to his meditation room to continue cultivating.
This cultivation session.
Another several days passed in the blink of an eye.
Several days later.
He Song was cultivating in his meditation room when the Sound Transmission Amulet placed on the side suddenly lit up.
Startled by the light, He Song immediately opened his eyes and looked at the Sound Transmission Amulet.
“A Sound Transmission Amulet? Has something big happened?”
He Song’s Sound Transmission Amulet had only been in contact with four people: Meng Guan, Wei Fan, Ping’er, and Ping’er’s senior sister Chu Shuangshuang.
Only these four people could use the Sound Transmission Amulet to contact He Song at this moment.
Moreover, all four of them were from the Thick Earth Sect.
If something big didn’t happen, He Song thought, no one would contact him using the Sound Transmission Amulet..
