Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation
Chapter 1113 - Chapter 1113 Chapter 758 Tempting with Benefits_2

Chapter 1113: Chapter 758: Tempting with Benefits_2 Chapter 1113: Chapter 758: Tempting with Benefits_2 A casual remark.

He Song did not wait for Zhou Ruo to contemplate and respond.

He quickly spoke again.

“Spirit Wind Valley is renowned for its profound tunneling skill.”

“The cultivators within its ranks mostly possess astonishing abilities in tunneling.”

“They also have quite a reputation on the outside.”

“Many cultivators want to come here to find profound tunneling skills, to make themselves stronger.”

“Coincidentally,”

“I come from the Golden Snake Sect in the North,”

“And I am quite interested in the profound tunneling skills within Spirit Wind Valley.”

“The reason I linger in these parts is naturally for the profound tunneling skills of Spirit Wind Valley.”

“Of course, it’s not limited to only the high-level tunneling skills within the Spirit Wind Valley, the Nascent Soul Upper Sect.”

“Within the area of influence of Spirit Wind Valley, those powers of the Golden Core, even the high-level tunneling skills within the Golden Core families, I also find them quite interesting.”

“Any of these profound tunneling skills, as long as I can acquire one, that would suffice.”

“However, it’s unfortunate that even within Spirit Wind Valley, such profound tunneling skills controlled by Golden Core powers are difficult to come by.”

“Therefore, I have sought you out to visit the Treasure Pavilion from time to time, to listen for news when such profound tunneling skills emerge within the area of influence of Spirit Wind Valley.”

“Once a profound tunneling skill emerges, naturally that will be the time for me to act and purchase it.”

“By then, your task will naturally be complete.”

“Of course, during this period, I will naturally grant you some benefits.”

“These benefits might be spirit stones, spirit elixirs, Artifacts, or even, I still have one Foundation Establishment Elixir remaining.”

“As long as you do your job well, I will naturally not be stingy with these items.”

“So, do you still wish to agree?”

His gaze swept over Zhou Ruo, whose expression was continuously changing before him, He Song quietly awaited Zhou Ruo’s response.

For He Song,

the items he promised to give were actually not very valuable.

Spirit stones, how many could a small Qi-refining cultivator use?

Even if He Song occasionally bestowed a few hundred low-grade spirit stones, it would probably make Zhou Ruo ecstatic.

And these few hundred low-grade spirit stones,

were merely equivalent to a few mid-grade spirit stones.

How could they catch the eye of He Song?

As for spirit elixirs and magical instruments, their cost was not substantial for He Song either.

The elixirs and magical instruments used during the Qi Refining stage were not very expensive.

As for the Foundation Establishment Elixir that He Song promised in the end,

it would depend on how much Zhou Ruo accomplished for He Song.

If Zhou Ruo really only provided continuous information as He Song said, obtained from the Treasure Pavilion,

She would definitely not be able to acquire the Foundation Establishment Elixir.

Even the spirit elixirs and instruments would be difficult to attain.

Granting her some spirit stones would be enough to satisfy her.

However, if Zhou Ruo did not do as He Song said, merely providing information,

and instead began to exert effort to help He Song obtain the sophisticated tunneling skill within the Zhou Family,

Then once that profound tunneling skill was acquired,

Not only would He Song grant the Foundation Establishment Elixir, he might even bestow more items.

A Foundation Establishment Elixir, even if auctioned off in the outside world, would only cost a few hundred mid-grade spirit stones.

Compared with the value of a profound tunneling skill, that amount of spirit stones is merely a drop in the ocean.

Not to grant Zhou Ruo more treasures would leave He Song feeling somewhat guilty.

Therefore, if Zhou Ruo really took to the task and did more for He Song,

it’s not just the Foundation Establishment Elixir she might acquire, but many more treasures as well.

Let alone the spirit stones and spirit elixirs and instruments that He Song had personally promised aloud.

He Song would naturally support her without any hesitation.

But speaking of the Foundation Establishment Elixir,

He Song actually did not have one on him.

However, if Zhou Ruo indeed delivered what He Song desired, he could naturally find a Foundation Establishment Elixir at any time from the outside world and give it to her.

One Foundation Establishment Elixir, for He Song, who had reached the Later Stage of Golden Elixir, was not a big deal.

If he wished, he could acquire a large amount of Foundation Establishment Elixirs at any time.

For a Golden Elixir Master, a Foundation Establishment Elixir is quite ordinary.

It could be said that although He Song promised Zhou Ruo many benefits,

in fact, these items were easily obtainable for He Song and were not especially precious.

But,

these treasures,

especially the Foundation Establishment Elixir,

were a huge temptation for a minor Qi-refining cultivator like Zhou Ruo, who was only at the Qi-refining mid stage.

Listening to He Song’s words, Zhou Ruo’s expression changed.

At first, when she heard that He Song’s purpose for coming was to obtain the advanced tunneling skill in Spirit Wind Valley,

a hint of wariness flashed across Zhou Ruo’s face.

After all, her ancestors had included a true Golden Elixir Master.

Perhaps, that Golden Elixir Master had left such treasures for the Zhou Family.

Just that her current low level of cultivation meant she had no access to them yet.

However, as He Song continued to speak about her responsibilities,

the wariness on Zhou Ruo’s face gradually dissipated with He Song’s narrative.

And at the end,

when He Song spoke of the Foundation Establishment Elixir and a plethora of treasures,

Zhou Ruo’s expression had turned fervent.

The Foundation Establishment Elixir,

perhaps it wasn’t anything special to the current He Song,

but the existence of a Foundation Establishment Elixir was extremely precious to any cultivator still in the Qi Refining stage.

With the Foundation Establishment Elixir, one had the chance to step into the Foundation Establishment Realm, to sit on equal footing with the Foundation Establishment True Persons, and to freely command the Qi-refining cultivators.

Moreover, once a cultivator stepped into Foundation Establishment, they would possess a lifespan far exceeding that of Qi-refining cultivators.

Foundation Establishment cultivators are granted a lifespan of two hundred years.

If they consume heavenly materials and Life-Extending Elixirs, their lifespan can be extended by dozens to hundreds of years.

Even the power of Foundation Establishment cultivators far surpasses that of Qi Condensation Cultivators with myriad techniques at their disposal.

With these,

it is natural for any Qi-refining cultivator to desire to step into Foundation Establishment and become someone superior.

In the eyes of all Qi-refining cultivators, the Foundation Establishment Realm stands aloft.

And now,

when Zhou Ruo also learned from He Song that she too could have the opportunity to step into the Foundation Establishment Realm,

the excitement in Zhou Ruo’s heart was beyond words.

After all, given the current situation of the Zhou Family, it was certain that she, Zhou Ruo, would never receive a Foundation Establishment Elixir from the family.

Even a Vein Protection Elixir would be absolutely impossible to obtain from the family.

And it was knowing all this that,

He Song’s arrival,

had given her a glimmer of hope.

A hope that she could step into the Foundation Establishment Realm and truly take control of her own fate.

With such hope laid out before her, Zhou Ruo naturally could not give it up.

Just like those Qi-refining cultivators who longed to become Foundation Establishment True Persons, she, Zhou Ruo, also aspired to step into the Foundation Establishment Realm and become a Foundation Establishment True Person, to become one of those superior individuals.

Moreover, He Song had previously said that if Zhou Ruo agreed to this,

he could help the Zhou Family through this difficult time.

With a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator like He Song standing with the Zhou Family and behind her, Zhou Ruo,

she could even wave the banner of He Song to receive unexpected benefits.

As various thoughts flickered through her mind, the fervor in Zhou Ruo’s eyes grew even more intense.

Her gaze toward He Song became increasingly eager as time went on.

Until a certain moment,

it seemed she had finally made up her mind, and having calmed her own emotions, Zhou Ruo gave He Song a deep bow at that moment.

And then she said,

“Sir, the matters you spoke of are an obligatory duty for me.”

“To go to the Treasure Pavilion every few days, purchase information, and convey it to you, Sir, I shall do my utmost.”

“Please rest assured.”

“From now on, let me take care of this matter.”

“I will not fail the trust you place in me, Sir, and will be sure to convey such information to you while obtaining it.”

“Moreover, as you mentioned, Sir, the wish to acquire an advanced tunneling skill.”

“Here, I do have some information; would you care to hear it, Sir?”
