Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation
Chapter 1127 - Chapter 1127 Chapter 765 Insider Trading_2

Chapter 1127: Chapter 765 Insider Trading_2 Chapter 1127: Chapter 765 Insider Trading_2 “Do you still remember, several months ago, you sent a message to me, saying that within Northwind Prefecture, a profound tunneling skill had appeared.”

“And moreover, that profound tunneling skill appeared at the auction of the Main Pavilion of Treasure Pavilion within Northwind Prefecture, on one of its auctioned items?”

As He Song’s words ceased.

A look of confusion dawned even more in Zhou Ruo’s eyes.

She did not understand why He Song would suddenly say these things.

And besides, hadn’t that profound tunneling skill been retrieved by the person who consigned it to the auction?

What was He Song’s purpose in bringing up this matter now?

With confusion in her mind.

Zhou Ruo’s gaze swept over the small jade bottle in He Song’s hand, and that also stirred something in her heart.

What exactly was inside the jade bottle in He Song’s hand?

What was the purpose of He Song taking out a small jade bottle at this moment?

With her doubts, Zhou Ruo looked towards He Song, waiting for his next move.

And He Song.

Seeing the increasingly strong color of doubt in Zhou Ruo’s eyes.

Thoughts flickered in his heart about what he had spoken to Zhou Ruo about this matter several months earlier.

At that time.

When he first made contact with Zhou Ruo.

He Song had thought that even if he were to obtain a profound tunneling skill in the future.

He still needed to keep it a secret, not letting Zhou Ruo know about it.

After all, if Zhou Ruo were to die and someone were to perform Soul Searching on her, everything He Song had done here would likely fall into the eyes of that person.

Though the chances were slim, with He Song’s caution, he still thought it best to be extra careful.

But now.

When He Song, after several months, spoke to Zhou Ruo about this matter again.

The previous thoughts in his heart had suddenly vanished into thin air.

According to He Song’s current thinking.

The identity he was displaying in front of Zhou Ruo was nothing more than that of a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator who came from the North.

As for other things, Zhou Ruo knew nothing at all.

Even his appearance, figure, and cultivation aura.

All had been carefully concealed by He Song himself before being presented to Zhou Ruo.

And Zhou Ruo.

As a mere Qi-refining mid-stage cultivator.

How could she possibly see through the concealment of a Late-stage Golden Core Cultivator like He Song?

Under these circumstances.

Even if Zhou Ruo were to die later and be subjected to Soul Searching.

The person performing Soul Searching would likely be completely unable to detect He Song’s existence.

Because in Zhou Ruo’s memory, there was only a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection ‘Sir’ who had interacted with her.

And the identity of that Foundation Establishment Great Perfection ‘Sir’?

Zhou Ruo knew nothing about it.

Under such circumstances, He Song naturally had no need to worry about his identity being exposed due to Zhou Ruo.

Because Zhou Ruo did not know He Song’s true identity, what talk was there of exposure?

And it was precisely because of such thoughts.

That He Song brought up this matter at this time, without avoiding anything.

Otherwise, He Song would probably find some excuse to simply bestow the Foundation Establishment Elixir and be done with it.

Once this matter was concluded, He Song would naturally leave.

With such thoughts, He Song continued to speak.

“There was news that came out later about this matter, claiming that the cultivator who consigned the item had taken it back.”

“The news you received should also be the same.”

“However, such news is merely for outsiders.”

“That profound tunneling skill.”

“Now, it has fallen into the hands of this Master.”

As he reached this point, He Song’s gaze turned towards Zhou Ruo in front of him, and a hint of a smile flickered in his eyes.

For a cultivator like Zhou Ruo with insufficient cultivation at the Qi Refining stage, the Treasure Pavilion, being an extraordinary existence, was something they wouldn’t dare to speculate about carelessly.

Even, if not for He Song, whether Zhou Ruo would dare to enter the Treasure Pavilion was a question itself.

After all, as an insignificant character at the Qi Refining stage.

Zhou Ruo probably had no need to go shopping inside Treasure Pavilion before this.

You must know that here in Red Maple Prefecture, this place’s Treasure Pavilion is the Main Pavilion.

It’s not like those branches in other Immortal Cities.

Inside the Main Pavilion of Treasure Pavilion, there is the presence of a Golden Elixir Master, with numerous Jubao Pavilion monks within.

With such a lineup, if Zhou Ruo simply wanted to buy some trivial items, like spirit pills and magical instruments for the Qi Refining stage,

She could have found any regular store outside and naturally would have been able to purchase them.

There was absolutely no need for her to make a trip to the Treasure Pavilion.

Even the Zhou Family, where Zhou Ruo was from, had its own store.

The items she needed, whether acquiring them within the Zhou Family or buying them from that store, could likely be had for a substantial discount.

Thus, Zhou Ruo might not have even visited the Main Pavilion of Treasure Pavilion in Red Maple Prefecture before meeting He Song.

And for this reason,

When He Song opened up and spoke to Zhou Ruo about his clandestine dealings with the Treasure Pavilion,

According to what He Song thought,

Zhou Ruo was surely not going to believe it.

After all, to someone like Zhou Ruo, a mere Qi Condensation Cultivator, the might of a force like the Treasure Pavilion was too immense.

In her eyes, that was a power where Gold Core Cultivators, even Nascent Soul cultivators, existed.

Furthermore, He Song had claimed to have insider dealings with the Treasure Pavilion.

But He Song’s cultivation was only at the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection.

How could he possibly be involved in any insider dealings with the Treasure Pavilion?

How could Zhou Ruo possibly choose to believe such a thing?

And indeed, just as He Song thought,

Upon hearing what He Song had said, Zhou Ruo’s first reaction was disbelief.

In her eyes, He Song’s cultivation level was merely at Foundation Establishment Great Perfection.

With such a level of cultivation,

Even if he really did know someone inside the Treasure Pavilion in Northwind Prefecture, it was highly unlikely that he would have any kind of insider dealings.

Moreover, in her view, there was no way He Song could have known anybody in Northwind Prefecture.

After all, He Song himself had previously openly declared that he came from the North, clearly not a person from Spirit Wind Valley.

Under such circumstances, how could He Song possibly know someone inside the Treasure Pavilion in Northwind Prefecture?

With these thoughts in mind,

Zhou Ruo naturally could not believe it.

However,

Her thoughts began to waver slightly as she swept her gaze over the faint smile on He Song’s face.

What if?

What if the sir before her was indeed from a major power and truly knew someone inside the Main Pavilion of the Treasure Pavilion in Northwind Prefecture?

What if the sir before her really had the capability to obtain that profound tunneling skill?

With various speculations flickering through her mind, Zhou Ruo’s gaze towards He Song couldn’t help but carry a hint of inquiry.

At this moment,

If He Song was able to speak such words,

Then he must have had something to rely on; it was just that she, with her low status, was not privy to it.

Perhaps He Song had concealed his identity or some other matter from her.

Because only then could it explain how He Song was able to undertake such actions.

The insider dealings with the Treasure Pavilion

Definitely were not something that a cultivator from the far North at the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection could accomplish.

That is to say,

If what He Song said was true,

Then he must certainly have hidden something from her.

As thoughts raced through her mind, Zhou Ruo’s gaze towards He Song became even more doubtful.

However, He Song,

Now also saw the change in Zhou Ruo’s expression.

From the initial skepticism, to the subsequent indecision, and finally to doubt,

Zhou Ruo’s transformation was extremely rapid.

And upon seeing that there was no more doubt on Zhou Ruo’s face, only confusion,

He Song found it timely to speak up.

“Since I once said that if you could help me obtain a profound tunneling skill and your contribution was significant, I naturally wouldn’t let you suffer.”

“Even a Foundation Establishment Elixir could possibly be bestowed.”

“Now that the profound tunneling skill is in hand, it is naturally time for me to fulfill my previous promise.”

Under the increasingly eager gaze of Zhou Ruo,

He Song nonchalantly fidgeted with a small jade bottle in his hand.

Then he continued,

“However, before that,”

“There is one more thing I hope you’d agree to.”
