Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 500: 452: Golden Core Banquet_2

Things like …

However, after a half-month of relentless searching, He Song was unable to find anything of value within the Cloud State Mansion that he wanted to buy.

At this, He Song couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

Indeed, the incidents of finding treasures at a roadside stand were probably unrelated to him.

The kind of scenarios that only the protagonist could encounter was indeed not something this everlasting being could experience.

Now.

Half a month had blinked past.

In the blink of an eye, it was about time for the Golden Elixir Convention to commence.

On this day.

Under the guidance of the staff at the Treasure Pavilion, He Song, along with a large number of Masters of Foundation Establishment, arrived at the Treasure Pavilion.

Within the Treasure Pavilion, a large number of tables and chairs had been arranged, and the Masters of Foundation-Establishment, rarely seen by outsiders, were seen as common here.

Upon his arrival, He Song was a bit unaccustomed to the large number of Masters of Foundation-Establishment present.

But after thinking about it, he realized that despite the large gathering of the Masters of Foundation-Establishment from all over the country, many of them were from nearby Immortal States.

With this, his mind was at ease.

It wasn’t that there were more Masters of Foundation-Establishment here.

But too many people were invited to the Golden Elixir Convention.

Many of the Foundation Establishment cultivators from other Immortal States had come here.

This resulted in the great change in the density of Masters of Foundation-Establishment.

In reality, the number of the Masters of Foundation-Establishment had not actually increased but rather that those who had come from afar were numerous.

Once these Masters of Foundation-Establishment return to their original Cultivation places, the number of Masters in this place would naturally revert to normal.

As one by one, Masters of Foundation-Establishment began to take their seats.

As abundant fine wine and cuisine started to be placed in front of the Masters of Foundation-Establishment.

As the fragrance of the delicious food and wine began to permeate the surroundings.

Master Luo Jing and his master, Master Zi Shan quickly appeared before everyone’s eyes.

After a round of congratulations, the banquet for the Masters of Foundation-Establishment quickly started.

The banquet for the Golden Elixir Masters.

Naturally, it took place somewhere else.

At this, He Song didn’t oppose, neither did the surrounding Masters of Foundation-Establishment.

If suddenly a Golden Elixir Master like He Song, hiding his power, were to descend, it may cause a big stir at once.

By then, the large number of gathered Masters of Foundation-Establishment would truly be at a loss.

The Golden Elixir Convention.

Rather than calling it a Golden Elixir Convention.

It’s better to say it was a meet-up held by Treasure Pavilion to show off their muscle.

At this Golden Elixir Convention, there was more to see than just the delicious food and wine.

Such as contests on the stage between Foundation-Establishment Masters.

The preaching by the newly promoted Master Luo Jing.

A large-scale auction organized by the Treasure Pavilion.

Or even…

A small exchange meet-up where Golden Elixir Masters exchanged items with each other.

Among all these events.

He Song was basically indifferent to everything else.

Only the large-scale auction and the following small exchange meet-up between the Golden Elixir Masters caught his interest.

However, with these two events scheduled at the end of the Golden Elixir Convention, He Song didn’t have a choice but to stroll around the convention site under the guidance of Cultivators in the Treasure Pavilion along with the other Foundation-Establishment Masters.

Strolling around, He Song quickly noticed the distant stages.

On the stages, one Foundation-Establishment Master after another ascended and were engaging in duels.

From time to time, a Cultivator would be defeated and fall from the stage.

Seeing this, Cultivators from the Treasure Pavilion would come forth, feed them healing elixirs, and gift them a small present.

Those who dared to ascend the stage would be gifted a small present, which was the Treasure Pavilion’s way of hospitality.

With this, He Song glanced at them. His mind stirred with several insights towards duel practice.

Turns out, duels could be played out this way.

So, flying swords could be manipulated in such a way.

So, skills could be executed in such a manner.

After observing for quite some time from his spot, He Song was filled with awe.

Apparently, he really must not underestimate others in the world.

Just the techniques demonstrated by the monks fighting on the stage earlier, after He Song watched them, he had many realizations.

If it weren’t because his cultivation had already reached the Golden Core Realm if it weren’t because his combat power far surpassed his peers at Foundation Establishment Realm.

If he and those monks were at the same level of cultivation, without the assistance of external factors like Array Skills.

He would indeed possibly be defeated.

However, if we include Array Skills, puppets, and He Song’s own means, those monks are probably still not enough.

He Song knew this all too well, yet he continued to remind himself not to underestimate others in the world.

If he were to fight others in the future, he should remember to leave a way out for himself.

With this thought in mind.

He Song continued to stand in the same spot and watch.

Until one by one, the platforms were dismantled by the people from Treasure Pavilion, and a huge stage was quickly erected by several Foundation Establishment Masters who practiced earth attribute skills.

As the main character of this Golden Core meeting, the newly promoted Golden Elixir Master, Master Luo Jing.

Soon arrived on the stage and began his lecture.

The path Master Luo Jing spoke of was not how to break through to the Golden Core Realm, but on the cultivation path in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

On this, He Song had little interest.

His current cultivation had reached the Golden Core Realm, this lecture, while greatly beneficial to other Foundation Establishment Masters,

Had no use to him.

However, as the speaker was Master Luo Jing, He Song patiently listened.

Until Master Luo Jing finished his lecture.

The people of Treasure Pavilion brought up more new features, adding more highlights to this Golden Core meeting.

After He Song saw it all, he had a good understanding of the flow this Golden Core meeting.

But for He Song, he didn’t have much interest in all the preceding events.

The upcoming large auction and the exchange meeting between the Golden Core Masters were what he was interested in.

Just like that.

Time swiftly passed by.

After a long wait.

He Song finally awaited the start of the large auction held by the Treasure Pavilion.

However, when the large auction started, He Song was led into a box on the third floor of the auction venue by the people from Treasure Pavilion, holding his token.

The scene in the box surprised He Song, who had just arrived.

A lovely young girl had already been quietly standing in the box, seemingly waiting for him.

When He Song entered the box, the young girl also turned her head to look at him.

Recognising the girl’s face, a light of realization flashed in He Song’s eyes.

It was Master Yun Jing.

As the junior sister of Master Luo Jing, Master Yun Jing was mysteriously waiting for him here for an unknown reason.

It was rather peculiar.

A thought flashed through He Song’s mind, but his actions did not delay, he quickly bowed to Master Yun Jing.

“So it’s Daoist Yun Jing, why is Daoist…”

As he walked forward, He Song’s voice soon echoed in the box.

Seeing him approach, Master Yun Jing’s expression turned slightly strange after hearing his words.

Only until He Song’s figure had come to her side.

She let out a sigh.

“Don’t mention it. For the past half month, every time my master welcomes a new Golden Core Master, he will scold me a little, and then praise my sister, trying to show how diligent she is.”

“Even though I know my Master’s words are merely pretense, the more I listen, the more upset I feel.”

“My sister clearly surpasses me in cultivation and is much older than me…”

At the half point in her speech, Master Yun Jing seemed to realize that speaking ill of her sister who had already reached the Golden Core Realm behind her back might cause trouble.

Therefore, after a pause, she changed the subject.

“Today just happens to be an opportunity to stay away from master, so I came here to relax.”

“At least I wouldn’t be hovering around him, listening to a round of scolding again.”
