Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 381: 373: Eight-vein Immortal City (Extra addition for alliance leader Piaoyi Beifeng 888)

After landing directly in the Eight-vein Immortal City from mid-air, He Song glanced around and quickly strode towards the Treasure Pavilion in the city.

Eight-vein Immortal City.

Treasure Pavilion.

When He Song arrived with the aura of the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, the Sub-Pavilion Master of this place immediately sensed his presence.

He Song hadn’t entered the Treasure Pavilion yet.

The Sub-Pavilion Master of the Treasure Pavilion adjusted his attire and stood at the entrance, smiling at He Song.

Just as the pavilion’s staff were surprised, wondering who their Pavilion Master was waiting for.

He Song’s figure also stepped into the Treasure Pavilion at that moment.

Soon, a figure appeared in front of He Song, and a voice echoed in his ear.

“I am Xu Jie, nice to meet you, please come in.”

Arriving by He Song’s side, Xu Jie didn’t inquire about He Song’s purpose of coming here, disregarded other people’s shocked gazes, said a few words, and then hurriedly led He Song inside the Treasure Pavilion.

In the Treasure Pavilion, when Xu Jie’s voice sounded, the crowd turned their stunned gazes to He Song.

Inside the Pavilion, buildings obstructed their view, so naturally, they couldn’t see He Song’s tunneling light nor understand his identity.

They also did not know that He Song had previously entered the Eight-Vein Immortal City directly from afar by transforming into a tunneling light.

Nevertheless, having seen Xu Jie’s unique attitude towards He Song,

And the use of the term, friend, they could deduce,

That He Song, who was personally received by Xu Jie and referred to as friend, was no ordinary person.

However, while they were looking at He Song with shock, curiosity, or surprise,

He Song was already following Xu Jie into the depths of the Treasure Pavilion.

Soon,

The figures of He Song and Xu Jie disappeared from the sight of those in the Treasure Pavilion.

Only by then did the crowd inside the Pavilion begin to discuss among themselves, still puzzled.

Some speculated about He Song’s identity, wondering why he merited a personal reception from the Pavilion Master.

Some speculated that He Song’s cultivation must be Foundation Establishment Stage to earn the Pavilion Master’s respect and to be referred as a friend.

Others were curious about what important business brought He Song, wondering if the Treasure Pavilion was about to land a big deal.

The external speculations were of no consequence to He Song.

He Song didn’t care about the astonishment of those small-time Qi Refining practitioners.

Neither did Xu Jie.

Upon entering the special guest room in the Treasure Pavilion – meant for the reception of Foundation Establishment Masters – He Song and Xu Jie soon sat down facing each other.

As the Sub-Pavilion Master of this place, Xu Jie naturally started the conversation with He Song.

Noticing Xu Jie’s unhurried manner and refusal to inquire about his purpose,

He Song, who was, to begin with, not in a rush, was in even less of a hurry now.

After having been secluded in cultivation for so long, he thought it would be nice to have a chat and relieve some of the tedium.

After some chit-chat, they both drank several cups of tea.

Only now,

Unable to hold back, Xu Jie finally asked about He Song’s purpose of visiting.

“I wonder, have you come to my Treasure Pavilion to buy something or sell something?”

“Rest assured, friend. Although we have only met, I will definitely not let you endure a loss.”

Although this was the first time they met, and their small talk didn’t last long, Xu Jie, as the Pavilion Master, was able to quickly bridge their relationship with his smooth talk.

However, as soon as Xu Jie uttered these words, He Song’s expression didn’t change, but he did become more cautious of Xu Jie.

You see, He Song was familiar with many Sub-Pavilion Masters of the Treasure Pavilion,

And with Master Luo Jing, a Sub-Pavilion Master, he was especially familiar.

He was somewhat aware of the Pavilion’s typical way of talking to clients.

Hearing Xu Jie say this, He Song knew that Xu Jie wasn’t as fair as he claimed; he wouldn’t let He Song get the short end of the stick.

If Xu Jie could make a handsome profit, he certainly wouldn’t hesitate.

However, knowing this, He Song didn’t plan to leave.

The spirit elixirs he wanted to sell were Five Attributes Spirit Elixirs, used to enhance cultivation.

Even if Xu Jie would slash prices, he couldn’t cut too much off.

Furthermore, the prices of Five Attributes Spirit Elixirs were nearly transparent due to their high demand. If Xu Jie tried to undercut him too much, he could simply sell them elsewhere.

There were hundreds of immortal cities within the Sun Faction; he didn’t need to put all his eggs in one basket.

With that thought in mind, once he casually mentioned he was there to sell spirit elixirs, he quickly took out a bottle of Earth Spirit Elixir from his storage bag.

Then,

In Xu Jie’s somewhat disappointed gaze,

He took out another bottle of Earth Spirit Elixir.

In Xu Jie’s somewhat puzzled gaze,

He took out another bottle of Earth Spirit Elixir.

Then in Xu Jie’s somewhat stunned gaze,

He took out yet another bottle of Earth Spirit Elixir.

With time passing, bottle after bottle of Earth Spirit Elixir was taken out by He Song from his storage bag. He placed them on the table in front of him.

Meanwhile, on the other side,

Xu Jie, who was initially disappointed when He Song took out only one bottle of Earth Spirit Elixir, managed to hide his disappointment.

However, seeing the number of Earth Spirit Elixirs in front of him rapidly increase to over ten, and even dozens, he had a drastic change in his gaze and expression.

When He Song took out Earth Spirit Elixirs in single digits, Xu Jie’s gaze revealed a hint of disappointment.

When He Song took out Earth Spirit Elixirs in double digits, Xu Jie exhibited a sincere smile.

When He Song started counting the dozens of Earth Spirit Elixirs, Xu Jie’s gaze towards He Song was full of eagerness, and his smile was even richer, almost beaming.

When He Song had just taken out the first bottle of Earth Spirit Elixir,

Xu Jie realized that it was a middle-grade spirit elixir, and its price was significantly higher than a low-grade spirit elixir.

But one middle-grade spirit elixir was worth only four thousand spirit stones.

Although this was a lot compared to the one thousand spirit stones a low-grade spirit elixir was worth,

When considering He Song’s cultivation level and identity, four thousand spirit stones didn’t seem that much.

This was why disappointment flashed across Xu Jie’s gaze initially.

He Song was at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage.

Did a Late Foundation Establishment practitioner come all the way to the Treasure Pavilion just to sell one bottle of middle-grade Earth Spirit Elixir worth four thousand spirit stones?

However, just as Xu Jie was thinking along these lines, He Song took out a second bottle of middle-grade Earth Spirit Elixir from his storage bag.

Before he could make sense of it, He Song took out the third bottle, fourth bottle, fifth… and dozens of middle-grade Earth Spirit Elixirs from his bag!
