Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation C.343: 335: Priceless Value

Translator: 549690339

As He Song looked at Master Luo Jing in front of him, he smiled at her and then respectfully replied.

“Indeed, it’s been a long time. After many years, I’ve finally managed to break through to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage. Master Luo Jing, your praise is unwarranted.”

As he spoke, a hint of melancholy flashed across He Song’s face at an appropriate moment.

It seemed that he was not satisfied with his cultivation progress.

In the eyes of others.

He Song’s cultivation had stagnated in the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment for as long as thirty-seven years.

After thirty-seven years, he finally broke through to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage.

Although it took three years less than the usual forty years for an ordinary cultivator to break through.

But it must be noted.

It only took He Song more than twenty years to break through from Foundation Establishment Early Stage to Mid-stage Foundation Establishment.

At that time, the speed of his cultivation progress was much faster than that of ordinary cultivators.

But when it came to breaking through to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, He Song only managed to break through three years faster than ordinary cultivators.

With such calculations, it seemed that the difficulty of He Song’s breakthrough was gradually easing.

Under such circumstances, wanting to advance from the Late Foundation Establishment Stage to the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection would take He Song a considerable amount of time.

In this case, when he became aware that the speed of his own cultivation progress was gradually slowing down and was about to become ordinary, He Song inevitably showed a melancholic expression when talking about the matter.

This was the disguise he had thought of while he was still in the Golden Elixir Cave Mansion.

If his cultivation progress was gradually slowing down, and his face was still full of joy, he might draw suspicion.

Especially from the likes of the Golden Elixir Disciple, Master Luo Jing, whom He Song dared not underestimate.

Therefore.

As he spoke, He Song naturally added a touch of disguise.

“Not at all, the name of Master Cang Song is now well-known in Heaven Power

Immortal City, it’s not an undeserved praise.”

“However, I really don’t know what brings Master here. Is there anything I can help with?”

While leading He Song along and walking towards Treasure Pavilion, Master Luo Jing chuckled behind her hand and quickly struck up a conversation with He Song.

She hadn’t seen He Song for many years.

Although they had been exchanging letters all this time, even frequently so,

but the exchange of letters was one thing, and actually meeting each other was another.

Master Luo Jing, for her part, subconsciously assumed that He Song must have some business to take care of and sought her assistance since he suddenly appeared in Heaven Power Immortal City.

However, as Master Luo Jing made small talk and wondered about He Song’s purpose, He Song caught up with her and replied.

“There’s no important matter, actually. I’ve recently broken through to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage and, on a whim, I wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with my fellow Daoist.”

“Of course, if I could learn some secrets about the Golden Core Path from a

fellow Daoist, it would be even better.”

Once their cultivation reached the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, anyone would have a strong interest in the Golden Elixir Realm.

This was not only limited to He Song’s thoughts.

But the thoughts that would arise in the hearts of all cultivators.

Naturally, He Song would not forcibly conceal his present strong interest in the Golden Elixir Realm.

Which Foundation Establishment Master wouldn’t want to ascend to the heavens in one step and become a golden elixir master who watches the changes in the world?

Just like Qi Refining cultivators in the late-stage, their eyes are filled with admiration when they look at Foundation Establishment Masters.

Similarly, Late Foundation Establishment Masters naturally have admiration in their eyes when looking at Golden Elixir Masters.

This is human nature.

It’s a scene that every cultivator goes through.

Under such circumstances, seeking a fellow Daoist who may have some understanding of breaking through the Golden Elixir Realm and inquiring about the Golden Core Path is something almost all cultivators end up doing.

At this point, when He Song spoke up and expressed his thoughts, Master Luo Jing naturally wouldn’t feel any discomfort upon hearing it.

Even she, as a golden elixir disciple,

Didn’t she pester her master when she was about to break through the Foundation Establishment Realm, asking about various matters related to breaking through?

Besides, when she successfully built her foundation and reached the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, she had also asked her master about matters related to breaking through the Golden Elixir Realm.

Curiosity is something everyone has.

It’s actually a very normal thing.

So.

After hearing He Song’s words, a smile appeared on Master Luo Jing’s face.

The fact that He Song could openly tell her about this matter and chose her as the one to inquire about the Golden Elixir Realm, was, in her view, because He Song had begun to treat her as a friend.

Among friends.

There’s prying for news from each other.

Or learning some unknown information from each other.

Even helping each other out, which is naturally very normal.

She had always wanted to befriend He Song and tried to build a good relationship with him.

Now after all these years and many exchanges, she finally saw He Song treating her as a friend.

Naturally, Master Luo Jing was delighted at this moment.

“Golden Core path? Fellow Daoist, you’ve asked the right person. When I first broke through Foundation Establishment, I learned some information about the Golden Core Path from my master.”

“If you don’t mind, I could tell you about it.’

“Maybe it will save you some detours on your cultivation journey.” As she spoke, Master Luo Jing gestured for He Song to take a seat while she glanced at him.

During their conversation, they had already made their way deep into the Treasure Pavilion.

Both of them stopped in a luxuriously-decorated living room.

He Song looked around at the extravagant surroundings before him.

He nodded, responding to Master Luo Jing’s words.

After sitting down,

He couldn’t help feeling a bit excited.

Since Master Luo Jing was a golden elixir disciple, the information she obtained from a Golden Elixir Master must be authentic.

If He Song could learn some hidden secrets unknown to him from her, the trip would be worthwhile.

However, He Song didn’t forget the purpose of his visit here.

He came to find Master Luo Jing and learn about the Golden Core Path while he was at it.

What he really wanted was to inquire about the Golden Congealing Elixir Recipe.

He Song wasn’t utterly ignorant after all.

He had seen Master Yin Yue’s memory and had a deep understanding of the Golden Core Path.

It’s just that some parts of Master Yin Yue’s memory were lost, and there may be omissions in some details.

Therefore, while inquiring about the Golden Congealing Elixir Recipe,

He Song also wanted to inquire from Master Luo Jing what information might have been missed in those lost memories.

If he could complete the lost memories and fully understand the Golden Core Path, it would make his attempt to condense his own Golden Core much smoother in the future.

Since Master Luo Jing was a golden elixir disciple, she should be able to answer his questions.

“After reaching the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, most Foundation Establishment Masters usually leave their sects to explore other places in search of opportunities.”

“As Fellow Daoist should know, Master Duan Hun has already left, and today Master Cheng Fu has also left. You probably know their whereabouts.”

“However, to step onto the Golden Core Path after reaching the Foundation

Establishment Great Perfection, there are two important things required.”

“Golden Congealing Elixir Pill and the Golden Core secret method.”

“Acquiring these two things can be quite difficult.”

“However, the Golden Core secret method is relatively easier to obtain. Our

Thick Earth Sect has it, and occasionally, it appears in other immortal states.”

“The Golden Congealing Elixir is difficult to find. Even with the united efforts of the Thick Earth Sect, it takes hundreds of years to accumulate enough resources to purchase one. Additionally, it requires the accumulated resources of many years to purchase a second one.”

“However, since the Thick Earth Sect has two Golden Elixir Masters, I suppose there will be no plan to buy a Golden Congealing Elixir Pill within the next few hundred years.”

“Fellow Daoist, I’m afraid you will not be able to obtain the Golden Congealing Elixir in the Thick Earth Sect.”

As Master Luo Jing spoke, she glanced at He Song and sighed softly.

For a sect like the Thick Earth Sect with Golden Core strength, the Golden Congealing Elixir is as important as life itself.

If there was a period without a Golden Core master, the whole sect might face the possibility of complete destruction.

Therefore, when there are still living Golden Core masters in the sect particularly multiple masters – the sect will never use its resources to find and buy a Golden Congealing Elixir.

Not to mention, spending years of saving up to buy a Golden Congealing Elixir.

It’s just impossible.

For Foundation Establishment masters like He Song, who belong to Golden Core sects, their best chance of obtaining a Golden Congealing Elixir is to join internal competitions within their sects.

Winning one such competition would immediately grant the victor a Golden

Congealing Elixir pill.

Unfortunately,

The Thick Earth Sect has two Golden Core masters now, and probably won’t have a Golden Congealing Elixir pill for competition in the next few hundred years.

Furthermore, she didn’t know that,

He Song and the other two Loose cultivators had a much lower status within the Thick Earth Sect than the elite members.

Even if the Thick Earth Sect bought a Golden Congealing Elixir pill, the three of them wouldn’t have a chance to compete for it. This has been an internal rule established long ago.

Master Luo Jing was just unaware.

However, after hearing Master Luo Jing’s words, He Song shook his head slightly.

“I didn’t expect to obtain the Golden Congealing Elixir within the Thick Earth

Sect.”

“We Loose Cultivators are not allowed to participate in the competition for the

Golden Congealing Elixir, according to the internal rules of the Thick Earth

Sect.”

“But, I’m quite curious as to what is so extraordinary about this Golden Congealing Elixir, that its price can be so astronomically high.”

“A Golden Core Sect, with the concerted effort of everyone, still takes hundreds of years to purchase one.”

“Do the spirit medicines used in refining the Golden Congealing Elixir happen to be extremely rare?”

He Song chose to share the internal rule of the Thick Earth Sect directly with Master Luo Jing.

He thought this rule was not unique to the Thick Earth Sect; nearly all Golden Core sects would have it.

Some just keep it a secret, and many people don’t really care about it.

Anyway, it’s not a big secret; it’s just a rule.

Besides, He Song began to guide the conversation toward the Golden

Congealing Elixir, trying to obtain more information about it from Master Luo

Jing..
