Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation-Chapter 609 - 506 True Monarch Youyun_2
Chapter 609: Chapter 506 True Monarch Youyun_2
Moreover, what He Song said was indeed true, without any falsehood.
Prior to this, she had indeed established contact with Master Luo Jing, and agreed to leave behind a Golden Elixir Talisman Jade Simple for a monk named Cang Song to trade.
Such internal transactions were entirely normal.
If Master Luo Jing could find a buyer, then she could keep the goods here.
After all, selling something that only a Golden Elixir Master would need was quite challenging.
The number of Golden Elixir Masters were far less compared to Qi Refining stage and Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Since Master Luo Jing had found a buyer, it was perfectly normal for her to leave the item here and wait for the buyer to complete the transaction.
However, what He Song said caught True Monarch Youyun slightly off guard, who initially thought she would just go through the usual procedures.
Presently, less than half a month had passed since she agreed to leave the Golden Elixir Talisman Jade Simple for Master Luo Jing.
Yet within this short span of less than half a month, He Song had already rushed here from afar.
This brought a touch of unexpected joy to her heart when she initially thought she would have to wait for a considerable amount of time.
He Song had come too quickly.
So fast that True Monarch Youyun hadn’t anticipated that she would be meeting He Song within around ten days.
Wasn’t it agreed that He Song was far away from Hu State and would need a significant amount of time, so she had to wait for some more days?
With a slight surprise and a hint of doubt, True Monarch Youyun also rose to her feet like He Song and gave him a slight bow.
Only then did she speak.
“I’ve heard much about True Monarch Cang Song, your reputation precedes you. I am fortunate to have heard about your deeds from my sister Luo Jing.”
“I thought it would take some time before I could actually meet you, but I didn’t expect you to come so quickly.”
“So quickly that I haven’t had time to prepare anything before your arrival.”
“I hope you won’t mind the simplicity of this place.”
“As for the item you want, I have prepared it for you in advance, have a look please.”
After the mutual exchange of courtesy, they both sat down.
As True Monarch Youyun’s voice fell, a Jade Simple was taken out from her storage bag and placed before He Song.
After doing all this, True Monarch Youyun let out a sigh of relief and focused her gaze on He Song before her.
She indeed heard from Master Luo Jing about one thing involving He Song.
That was how He Song had once risked finding a life-preserving elixir from Treasure Pavilion to prolong the life of his friend who was in the Qi Refining stage.
However, what she said about He Song – that his reputation was widely known – could be termed as an exaggeration.
Her understanding of He Song was limited to this anecdote shared by Master Luo Jing.
She had met He Song for the first time, so what could she know about his reputation?
It was merely an attempt to flatter in passing.
Yet even so, upon first meeting He Song, True Monarch Youyun couldn’t help but carefully observe him.
She wanted to see what was so extraordinary about a person whom Master Luo Jing appreciated.
The relationship between Master Luo Jing and her was not particularly close.
Hu State, where True Monarch Youyun was located, was within the sphere of influence of the Purple Cloud Sect.
Although it was not far from the Sun Faction, it was no longer part of the same branch.
The title of sisters between True Monarch Youyun and Master Luo Jing merely existed because they both were in the Treasure Pavilion.
Were it not for their presence in the Treasure Pavilion, chances of them even knowing each other would have been unlikely.
In such circumstances, it was already a favor that True Monarch Youyun agreed to help Master Luo Jing.
But Master Luo Jing used this favor to build a relationship with an early Jindan stage cultivator like He Song.
Naturally, Master Luo Jing’s this act sparked a sense of curiosity in True Monarch Youyun.
What exceptional qualities did this True Monarch Cang Song in front of her possess that made Master Luo Jing own him a favor to help him?
Although this matter was minor, it was enough to highlight Master Luo Jing’s attention towards He Song.
While True Monarch Youyun was observing He Song…
At this moment, He Song had already picked up the jade slip in front of him and was skimming over the content using his divine consciousness.
His face lit up with joy once he confirmed that the method of Golden Elixir Talisman recorded within the jade slip was indeed what he needed.
Golden Elixir Talisman Jade Simple.
Acquired!
Now that he had the Golden Elixir Talisman Jade Simple, all he had to do next was return to his cave abode and immerse himself in understanding its content.
Once he successfully comprehended how to craft the Golden Core Talismans, his status could easily change, turning him into a newly promoted Golden Elixir Amulet Master.
Despite the Amulet Master being the least esteemed among He Song’s many identities, he had claimed to be one since the Qi Refining stage.
Now, as He Song had stepped into the Jindan stage, it was perfectly normal for him to reveal his identity as a Golden Elixir Amulet Master.
In this way, He Song would appear to others as a Jindan cultivator who had never abandoned the study of Talisman methods.
Even if he occasionally showed his Talisman cultivation skills, it would not come as a surprise to anyone.
Moreover, others would be wary of He Song during battles due to his identity as a Golden Elixir Amulet Master, fearing that he would unexpectedly draw out hundreds of Golden Core Talismans and launch a devastating assault.
In such a situation, even a Golden Elixir Master might not withstand the assault.
Under this deterrence, He Song’s personal safety was further enhanced.
The identity of an Amulet Master thus became another one that He Song could flaunt.
However, He Song did not immediately leave after confirming that the Golden Elixir Talisman Jade Simple in his hands was indeed what he needed, but instead turned his gaze to True Monarch Youyun in front of him.
At this moment, True Monarch Youyun was still staring at He Song with intense focus, wondering why Master Luo Jing had such high regard for He Song.
When He Song’s glanced over, only then did True Monarch Youyun realize her rudeness. She quickly averted her gaze and gave He Song an embarrassed smile.
Seeing this, He Song felt perplexed but chose to remain silent.
He knew that cultivators would typically maintain a decent appearance regardless of whether they were at the Qi Refining, the Foundation Establishment, or the Jindan Infant stages.
Thus, he was not naive enough to think that True Monarch Youyun was attracted to his good looks.
Such behavior would be unreasonable.
And so, He Song simply nodded in acknowledgment before asking about the price of the item in question.
“Thank you, Fellow Daoist Youyun. This item is indeed what I need.”
“However, I’m unsure of its value. Could I pay with Spirit Stones?”
“If it’s preferred to exchange items, I do possess some spiritual elixirs and talismans that I’ve obtained from other fellow cultivators. Would you be interested in an exchange?”
The items of the Golden Dan realm are mostly traded through bartering.
Cultivators who have reached the Golden Dan stage are unlikely to be in shortage of spirit stones.
Under such circumstances, exchange through bartering does not seem like an unbearable proposition.
Especially since He Song was able to concoct Golden Elixir Spiritual Elixirs and Lower-grade Spiritual Tools, bartering was no longer a challenge for him.
Low-grade spiritual tools and Golden Elixir Spiritual Elixirs are both valuable commodities within the Golden Dan stage that almost any Jindan cultivator would require.
Possessing these items meant that He Song could exchange them for anything he desired.
However, he was uncertain whether he should pay for this Golden Elixir Talisman Jade Simple with Spirit stones or through a barter.
“Since Fellow Daoist has confirmed, I will not say much more.”
“Though this item is quite valuable, Spirit Stones can still be used as payment.”
“Out of respect for Sister Luo Jing, Fellow Daoist, you may take it for eighteen thousand Mid-grade Spirit Stones. Consider it a token of friendship between us.”
As True Monarch Youyun’s words came, He Song remained calm, but he sighed a little inside.
Indeed, buying items from familiar faces is indeed more cost-effective than buying from strangers.
