Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation-Chapter 879 - 641: Secret Technique Acquired_2

Chapter 879: Chapter 641: Secret Technique Acquired_2

After conducting a thorough investigation, He Song withdrew his divine sense with satisfaction and took out one thousand mid-grade spirit stones to give to Xiao Qing.

“Good, this indeed contains the secret technique for refining the Water Spirit Essence.”

“You’ve been thoughtful.”

“Take these one thousand mid-grade spirit stones for now.”

“Consider these spirit stones as an advance payment for the information you will relay between you and me in the future.”

“In addition, the value of this jade slip is also included.”

...

“In the future, when I return here again, I will naturally provide enough spirit stones, and you will not be treated unfairly.”

As he handed over the spirit stones to Xiao Qing, He Song spoke, and at the same time, he couldn’t help reflecting on the knowledge he had gained from the jade slip.

Now that he had fully mastered the refining method for the Water Spirit Essence as transmitted by the jade slip, He Song had also gained some insights in identifying its quality.

In the future, no matter the quality of the Water Spirit Essence He Song found, he would be able to distinguish its quality at first glance.

With this ability, if He Song ever came across a superior Water Spirit Essence in the future, he genuinely could attempt to refine it, to further accelerate the speed of his cultivation.

It was a pity, though.

Having mastered the skill to discern the quality of Water Spirit Essence, He Song gained a deeper understanding of the essence he had obtained from Fallen Snow True Monarch’s cave mansion.

According to He Song’s assessment, the quality of his Water Spirit Essence matched his initial guess exactly.

The Water Spirit Essence he had was of the same middle-grade quality as the one currently being auctioned. For He Song, it was of little use.

As a cultivator with the four spirits roots.

And moreover, a Golden Elixir cultivator with the four spirits roots.

He Song no longer had any need for a middle-grade Water Spirit Essence.

After knowing this, He Song let out a light sigh in his heart, but did not show any outward reaction.

He had already anticipated this result beforehand.

Although he had not acquired a superior Water Spirit Essence this time around, and thus could not use it to quicken the pace of his cultivation,

He Song had nonetheless acquired the secret technique for refining the Water Spirit Essence.

If in the future he happened to come across a superior Water Spirit Essence, he could directly refine it without the need to search around for the secret technique for its refinement.

In this way, He Song’s trip was still somewhat fruitful.

As for those one thousand mid-grade spirit stones, they served, as He Song had said, to pay for the jade slip and Xiao Qing’s subsequent compensation.

Be it Xiao Qing, An Ning, or Su Qian, who initially relayed messages to He Song, he would give them rewards from time to time.

These rewards were not much in He Song’s eyes,

But for the three of them, they were not insignificant.

With this compensation, they could not only improve their cultivations more quickly but also ensure their safety on their cultivation paths,

And serve better in passing messages for He Song.

For He Song, it was a win-win situation.

As for Xiao Qing,

Having just received the gift of Golden Armor Guards from He Song, she was somewhat at a loss upon suddenly receiving one thousand mid-grade spirit stones from him.

However, under He Song’s unmistakable gaze, Xiao Qing, who initially wanted to decline, did not end up doing so.

She quietly accepted the spirit stones from He Song and obediently stood behind him.

Although her interactions with He Song were not extensive,

She knew well that it was best not to be too contrary when dealing with a Golden Elixir Master like He Song,

Lest she become an annoyance.

With this thought, Xiao Qing naturally could not repeatedly reject He Song’s gestures.

And once Xiao Qing meekly accepted, the atmosphere in the private room naturally quieted down.

In the time that followed,

He Song and Xiao Qing next to him continued to watch the ongoing auction.

One after another, treasures were auctioned off under their watchful eyes, with more items being presented at the auction stage.

At this large-scale auction held once every ten years in Smoke-Cloud State Mansion,

An endless variety of treasures were unveiled.

Even He Song found many items at the auction that could entice his heart.

However, even though He Song was moved by many things, he also knew

that aside from the few items he truly needed, the others held little value to him.

Rather than focus on these items, it was better to concentrate on what he truly required.

Previously, He Song had already bid for all the items he needed.

But there was still one last item left.

It was of great use to He Song.

But He Song had already decided early on in his heart to give it up, and it was still up for auction.

At a certain moment,

when a semi-finished Gold Core Puppet appeared on the auction stage and the starting bid was announced rapidly,

He Song’s gaze was similarly drawn to it.

He Song had come to join this auction at the Smoke-Cloud State Mansion,

and his initial purpose was actually for this semi-finished Gold Core Puppet.

That was the very reason He Song had come.

Unfortunately,

He Song had limited spirit stones, and after weighing the pros and cons, he ultimately had to give it up.

Instead, at the auction, he acquired a cultivator’s Golden Core, a Golden Core Body Refining Skill, and a Secret Technique for refining Water Spirit Essence.

Besides these, he also purchased some other items that caught his interest.

And thus, he completely gave up on the semi-finished Gold Core Puppet.

Originally, after acquiring the items he needed, He Song was prepared to leave.

But in the end, he thought it better to stay and see who would ultimately acquire the semi-finished Gold Core Puppet.

Perhaps there would be a twist of fate later on.

Therefore, He Song stayed, waiting for this moment.

However, the current He Song, even though present at the spot, no longer had any intention to compete with the other Golden Elixir Masters for the semi-finished Gold Core Puppet.

He had almost completely spent his spirit stones.

In such a situation, He Song could only quietly stay in his private box and watch the Golden Elixir Masters outside fiercely vie for the semi-finished Gold Core Puppet.

As time passed,

with each Golden Elixir Master bidding, the price of the semi-finished Gold Core Puppet soared.

Starting from a bid of ten thousand Mid-grade Spirit Stones, it quickly rose to over a hundred thousand, and in the end reached the level of three to four hundred thousand Mid-grade Spirit Stones.

When the price reached three to four hundred thousand Mid-grade Spirit Stones, even He Song was secretly shocked.

Indeed,

there were countless wealthy people within the Cultivation World.

Especially those Golden Elixir forces with long heritages, who could offer a horrifying amount of spirit stones.

But just as He Song was feeling shocked,

at the auction,

the semi-finished Gold Core Puppet was ultimately auctioned off for almost five hundred thousand Mid-grade Spirit Stones to an anonymous Golden Elixir Master.

At the same time, with the auction’s final item sold, this decennial grand auction naturally came to an end.

After the conclusion of the auction, He Song bid Xiao Qing farewell.

His figure quickly left the Treasure Pavilion.

Arriving at the inn not far from the Treasure Pavilion, where he had previously stayed, He Song swiftly changed his appearance and form.

Then he transformed his openly displayed cultivation from the Golden Elixir Realm to the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Realm.

After completing these changes, He Song, just as before, used Earth Tunneling to leave the inn he was staying at and arrived at another one.

When He Song’s figure walked out from the other inn,

Xuan Gui True Monarch— who had participated in the auction at the Treasure Pavilion—naturally disappeared.

In his place was an external cultivator with merely Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivation.
