Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation-Chapter 865 - 634 Decisive Abandonment_2

Chapter 865: Chapter 634 Decisive Abandonment_2

He had decisively chosen to give it up, focusing his attention on the Cultivator’s Golden Core that had appeared by chance.

Cultivator’s Golden Core.

He Song had previously obtained quite a few.

Some He had turned into White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talismans, which were still stored in his sleeve, ready for use at any moment.

Others, he had refined into Taiyin Puppets, currently placed within the Yin Yang Rebirth Array, slowly being transformed into Taiyin Puppets.

Naturally, He Song had some insight into the methods of using a Cultivator’s Golden Core and refining Gold Core Puppets with it.

...

Other cultivators would find it difficult to possess so many Cultivator’s Golden Cores like He Song did in the Golden Core Realm and transform them into their own strength.

Therefore, when He Song noticed the existence of this Cultivator’s Golden Core

and realized that it was very likely that almost no one would compete with him for it due to the presence of that semi-finished Gold Core Puppet,

the original goal in He Song’s heart naturally shifted from the semi-finished Gold Core Puppet to the Cultivator’s Golden Core at hand.

Switching his target to the Cultivator’s Golden Core had several advantages.

Not only could it enable him to more easily acquire what he needed,

but it also allowed him to fully control the strength of the Gold Core Puppets he would refine using it.

Besides, the auction price for that semi-finished Gold Core Puppet would likely be extremely high.

If he really were to bid, even if he were to win it, it would undoubtedly cause a significant depletion of his spirit stones.

And He Song still had his sights set on that Cultivator’s Golden Core as well as that Golden Elixir body refining skill.

Even the Water Spirit Essence being auctioned was within He Song’s intended range.

In such a situation, He Song would naturally make the choice most beneficial to himself.

That was to directly give up on the semi-finished Gold Core Puppet and use the plentiful spirit stones he had to secure the other items.

In doing so, not only could he firmly acquire these items, but he also needn’t concern himself with the actual strength of the semi-finished Gold Core Puppet.

Having made such a decision, He Song nodded slightly.

He had plans for the spirit stones he possessed.

However, just as He Song had made up his mind and resolved to bid for what he needed in the upcoming auction,

he caught a glimpse of Xiao Qing from the corner of his eye.

At this moment,

Xiao Qing had finished introducing all the auction items.

Seeing that he had fallen into deep thought,

she stood quietly beside him waiting for instructions.

Outside, the auction had not yet begun, and a large number of cultivators were still entering one by one.

Golden Elixir Masters, Foundation Establishment True Persons, and a great number of Qi-refining cultivators steadily entered the auction, making it even livelier.

As He Song’s gaze turned to Xiao Qing, his mind was also reminded of what he had been considering earlier.

Since he already knew Xiao Qing’s words were false and the auction had not yet begun,

teasing Xiao Qing seemed harmless.

After all, regarding the upcoming auction, He Song was already confident.

He had thoroughly contemplated what he would bid on and the amount of spirit stones he had.

Therefore, striking up a casual conversation with Xiao Qing just before the auction began could indeed ease his unfamiliarity with the outside world after twenty years of seclusive cultivation.

Thinking this, He Song opened his mouth.

“I heard you say that the host for each auction at the Treasure Pavilion changes every time,”

“but according to my experience from attending numerous auctions, that does not seem to be the case.”

“When I’ve attended auctions,”

“whether it’s here at the Treasure Pavilion, at nearby ones, or even at those far away,”

“the hosts of these auctions are not changed casually.”

“If it was this person ten years ago, it is likely to be the same person ten years later.”

“How come in your words, it becomes a change for every single auction?”

Quietly sitting cross-legged on the cushion in the private box, He Song’s gaze swept over Xiao Qing’s face as his words drifted in a whisper.

For He Song, these words were just idle chatter, casually speaking upon seeing an old acquaintance from twenty years ago.

But, to Xiao Qing’s ears,

they made her feel instantly guilty.

How could she not understand what He Song had said?

As someone from the Treasure Pavilion, unless something significant had happened, it would have been impossible for her status to undergo such a drastic change.

From a Foundation Establishment True Person overseeing the entire auction to now being a maid in the private box of a Golden Elixir Master.

The difference in status, although not exceptionally vast, was certainly not as satisfactory as before.

Although her current status allowed her to be in close contact with some Golden Elixir Masters, possibly gaining a chance to change her own destiny,

it was not as comfortable as before.

After all, a maid is just a maid.

Although the maids sent by the Treasure Pavilion to specifically serve the Golden Elixir Masters were not lowly in status,

and would rarely encounter difficulties intentionally created by the Golden Elixir Masters,

even so, they might still receive some benefits, intending to coax out some secret information from them.

But even so, how could it compare to the prominence and glory of presiding over the entire auction as before?

Now that He Song had spoken, laying it all out,

Xiao Qing naturally felt a sense of guilt for deceiving a Golden Elixir Master.

As someone from the Treasure Pavilion, such deception, although not likely to lead to any significant issues,

would still cause any Golden Elixir Master to take note of a Foundation Establishment True Person who dared to deceive them, even remembering their aura.

Therefore, when such a Foundation Establishment True Person was remembered by a Golden Elixir Master, it was easy to imagine how they would feel about it.

What if, what if in the future, she encountered him while outside?

In the perilous Cultivation World, wouldn’t that make her as vulnerable as a fish on a chopping block?

The thought of potentially being targeted by a Golden Elixir Master made Xiao Qing’s heart tighten immediately.

At this moment, even though she was from the Treasure Pavilion, she couldn’t help but feel a shiver down her spine.

The attention of a Golden Elixir Master is not so easily borne,

even if she was a Foundation Establishment True Person and part of the Treasure Pavilion.

“Replying to the Master, there indeed is some insider information regarding this matter, but these are internal affairs of the Treasure Pavilion,”

“and it is not appropriate to discuss them in detail with the Master.”

“Thus, I spoke with concealment, but there was never any disrespect intended towards the Master, I hope for your understanding,” she explained.

“However, if the Master wishes to hear it, I can take the opportunity before the auction begins to share some details with you,” she offered.

“I hope the Master will not mind my unintentional actions prior to this.”

Upon realizing that He Song had detected her earlier lies, Xiao Qing didn’t think too much; she quickly bowed to He Song and then began to explain.

But this time, Xiao Qing didn’t cover up her former lies with more lies.

Instead, she directly disclosed the whole story to He Song and claimed that she had no intention of offending him.

Moreover, if He Song was interested in hearing about it, she was willing to make an exception and discuss it.

Such a proposal aimed not only at protecting herself and preventing He Song from remembering her and possibly encountering problems in the future,

but also at dispelling any displeasure within He Song’s heart.

After all, as a Golden Elixir Master, casually asking a question only to receive lies in return,

such an affair would probably displease any Golden Elixir Master, much as it had displeased He Song.

And it was precisely because of this,

knowing she had erred, how to erase the dissatisfaction in He Song’s heart and protect herself

had become the most important thing on Xiao Qing’s mind at the moment.

Only by doing so could she ensure that He Song would no longer focus on her.
