Chapter 973: Chapter 688: Guest Elder of the Sun Faction_2

Regarding this,

Meng Guan quickly replied, stating that if such a situation truly arose, he would naturally lend a helping hand.

However, if the matter proved to be too thorny, he would still inform He Song and leave the final decision to him.

Seeing this, He Song naturally agreed as well.

Afterwards, He Song continued his journey northward.

Heading straight for the Cloud State Mansion.

And it was during He Song’s journey towards the Cloud State Mansion that,

after concluding this matter, He Song couldn’t help but recall the scene of his departure from Yi Yang Prefecture.

Previously,

He Song had met with Meng Guan and Wei Fan at Yi Yang Prefecture and spent time together.

Meng Guan and Wei Fan had invited He Song to join the Sun Faction and become a Guest Elder.

At that time, after much contemplation, He Song had decided to wait until he was about to leave before expressing his intentions.

Now,

He Song had already left Yi Yang Prefecture and was heading north towards the Cloud State Mansion.

Naturally, he had also come to a conclusion.

Back then, as he was about to depart, He Song sat opposite Meng Guan and Wei Fan,

and then he expressed his decision.

That was to accept the offer to join the Sun Faction and become a Guest Elder.

According to He Song’s thoughts,

once he became a Guest Elder of the Sun Faction, not only would he receive a generous annual salary,

but he would also be able to use the Guest Elder Token to exchange Contribution Value for various precious treasures in the Sun Faction’s treasury.

Given the backdrop of the impending war between the Righteous Tao and the Demonic Sects,

He Song feared that he might obtain many treasures from the Sun Faction’s treasury, which are rarely seen on normal days.

This would be a huge help for He Song, who wanted to refine the Eight Treasures Breakthrough Pill,

and also for acquiring other treasures.

The Sun Faction, although not as wealthy as the Treasure Pavilion, is still a Nascent Soul Upper Sect with countless treasures in its treasury.

Whatever treasures He Song would want in the future, if he could not find them in the Treasure Pavilion’s treasury, he could look in the Sun Faction’s treasury.

This way, not only would He Song’s future actions be more convenient, but he would also be able to acquire more treasures faster.

Besides,

joining the Sun Faction and becoming a Guest Elder also had no disadvantages for He Song.

After all, as a Guest Elder, He Song would essentially be free not to undertake any tasks issued by the Sun Faction.

Even if the Righteous and Demonic Great War ensued,

as long as He Song did not take on the task to participate, it would have nothing to do with him.

Moreover, being both a Guest Elder of the Sun Faction and of the Treasure Pavilion,

He Song would not only receive great treatment in the Treasure Pavilion, but also in the Sun Faction.

For instance, once He Song returned to the Cloud State Mansion,

even if he did not reside within the Treasure Pavilion, the Master Guardians of the Cloud State Mansion would take note of his status and provide him with corresponding treatment.

As a Guest Elder of the Sun Faction, he would receive appropriate treatment in any state mansion within the Cloud State or anywhere within the Sun Faction’s area of influence.

He Song was naturally aware of this.

And with this treatment,

He Song could also gain more benefits.

A situation that wouldn’t bring any danger to himself yet would yield plentiful gains was naturally something He Song wouldn’t pass up.

Therefore,

after nearly a month of careful consideration, He Song ultimately decided to join the Sun Faction and became a Guest Elder.

After obtaining a Guest Elder Token from Meng Guan’s hand, He Song then left Yi Yang Prefecture.

At this moment, on the road back to the Cloud State Mansion, He Song’s mind flashed back to that scene once again.

But soon, he cast aside all thoughts.

However, He Song soon focused a thread of his consciousness again, immersing it into the Guest Elder Token from the Sun Faction.

Previously, when He Song had first obtained the Guest Elder Token from the Treasure Pavilion, he had sent a thread of his consciousness into it, constantly attempting to exchange for the precious treasures he needed.

Now, since He Song had acquired another Guest Elder Token, and one that connected to the treasure vault of the Sun Faction, it was only natural for him to also send a thread of his consciousness into it.

And he kept trying to exchange for the precious items he needed.

Fortunately,

before departing, He Song had exchanged some sect contribution with Meng Guan.

The current He Song possessed a total of fifty thousand points of Sun Faction sect contribution that would allow him to exchange for many treasures from the Sun Faction treasure vault.

However, He Song had also paid a total of fifty thousand mid-grade spirit stones for this.

These spirit stones were a necessary expenditure for the exchange of sect contribution with Meng Guan.

The sect contribution of the Sun Faction was the same as that of the Treasure Pavilion.

If one were to exchange sect contribution for spirit stones, one point of sect contribution could be exchanged for one mid-grade spirit stone.

And if exchanging spirit stones for sect contribution, then two mid-grade spirit stones could be exchanged for one point of sect contribution.

As a True Inheritance Disciple, Meng Guan’s annual salary was much higher than that of a guest elder or an elder.

Therefore, when He Song proposed to exchange spirit stones for some sect contribution, Meng Guan agreed to do it at the exchange rate of one mid-grade spirit stone for one point of sect contribution, and thus gave He Song a total of fifty thousand points of sect contribution.

In doing so, Meng Guan made a significant concession.

After all, if the exchange had been conducted at the regular rate, the fifty thousand mid-grade spirit stones paid by He Song would, at most, have been able to exchange for only twenty-five thousand points of sect contribution.

To acquire fifty thousand points of sect contribution would have probably required a full one hundred thousand mid-grade spirit stones.

However, through Meng Guan’s involvement, He Song only used fifty thousand mid-grade spirit stones to obtain fifty thousand points of sect contribution.

One could say that Meng Guan saved He Song a full fifty thousand mid-grade spirit stones.

This act of kindness was naturally etched in He Song’s heart.

Fortunately,

due to his status as a True Inheritance Disciple, Meng Guan’s vast annual salary meant he didn’t miss that amount.

This was also the reason he agreed to such an arrangement.

Since He Song had made the request to exchange spirit stones for some sect contribution, Meng Guan naturally wouldn’t just stand by and watch.

After exchanging fifty thousand points of sect contribution with Meng Guan, He Song now focused a thread of his consciousness within the Guest Elder Token and attempted to exchange for the various treasures he needed, without lacking in sect contribution.

Just like before, he focused another thread of his consciousness.

After continuously trying to exchange for various treasures he wanted within the Guest Elder Token from the Sun Faction.

He Song then shifted his attention back to the Guest Elder Token from the Treasure Pavilion.

Unfortunately,

after more than a month’s time, none of the precious spirit medicines He Song needed had appeared in the treasure vault of the Treasure Pavilion.

Seeing this, He Song wasn’t too concerned.

Those extremely precious and usually hard-to-come-by spirit medicines weren’t so easy to obtain.

As for this, He Song even made long-term plans from the start.

According to He Song’s original thoughts,

if he could gather all the precious spirit medicines needed to refine the Eight Treasures Breakthrough Pill within ten years, he would already consider himself extremely lucky.

Even if it took twenty to thirty years to accomplish this task, He Song wouldn’t find it surprising.

After all, if the materials for the Eight Treasures Breakthrough Pill were so easy to collect,

why would the elixir be so precious?

If it were really that simple, He Song would probably have found the Eight Treasures Breakthrough Pill in the treasure vault of the Treasure Pavilion long ago.

Why would he bother to tirelessly gather the materials for the pill’s refinement?

With these thoughts in mind, He Song withdrew his attention from the two Guest Elder Tokens on his person.

He only diverted two portions of his consciousness, continually attempting to exchange for the few precious spirit medicines he still lacked within these two Guest Elder Tokens.

As for himself,

he continued to make his way towards the Cloud State Mansion.

In this way,

He Song soon returned to the Cloud State Mansion and once again took up residence in the Treasure Pavilion under the smiling gaze of Master Luo Jing.
