Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation
Chapter 1163 - Chapter 1163 Chapter 783 Millennium Aristocratic Family_2

Chapter 1163: Chapter 783: Millennium Aristocratic Family_2 Chapter 1163: Chapter 783: Millennium Aristocratic Family_2 Take, for example, the local Nascent Soul Force was fighting a war with other forces.

Or that the local Nascent Soul Force was enforcing martial law, forcing He Song to take a detour.

Situations like these were naturally impossible for an outsider like He Song to know.

Therefore, these Pavilion Masters of the Treasure Pavilion became He Song’s sources of information.

Of course.

He Song didn’t believe that just by virtue of his own appearance, he would be able to extract such information from others.

But as long as He Song offered enough benefits, it was likely that anyone would greet him with a smile.

With such a thought in mind, He Song quickly arrived at the Treasure Pavilion of this place.

Inside the Treasure Pavilion.

As He Song drifted in and presented his Guest Elder Token from his storage bag upon the arrival of the Pavilion Master of the place,

the Pavilion Master, who already had a bright smile on his face, became even more cordial.

“I was not aware that a Guest Elder was coming, and have inadvertently been negligent, I hope the Guest Elder will not take offense,” he said.

“I am the Pavilion Master here, and you may call me Yun Tian,” he continued.

“Guest Elder, please!” he invited warmly.

Under the enthusiastic invitation of True Lord Yun Tian, He Song was soon led to a VIP Room within the Treasure Pavilion.

Inside the VIP Room, once the two were seated according to their status,

He Song then clasped his hands towards True Lord Yun Tian.

“I am Xuan Gui, and I have the honor of meeting True Lord Yun Tian,” he said.

“I have come here with a matter to discuss, and I hope the Pavilion Master will be forthcoming with information.”

Having said this with a salutation, He Song didn’t mind the subtle change in expression on Yun Tian’s face after hearing his words,

but simply took out a storage bag and passed it with a smile to Yun Tian before him.

And when a flicker of bewilderment crossed Yun Tian’s face,

He Song immediately spoke up again.

“Pavilion Master, don’t take it amiss. I come from afar, and upon entering this esteemed region, I wished to inquire about certain local affairs from you,” he explained.

“Otherwise, though I am merely passing through, if I inadvertently violate a taboo or miss an opportunity, it would be most regrettable,” he added.

“Therefore, I specifically sought out the Pavilion Master, and I hope you will not blame me for this,” he stated.

At this point, He Song’s gaze shifted to True Lord Yun Tian,

only to see him already picking up the storage bag passed to him and, after a brief inspection, his eyes lighting up.

Seeing this, He Song felt certain within his heart.

This was going to work!

He Song was no stranger to figures like True Lord Yun Tian, the Chief Master of the Treasure Pavilion.

Luo Jing and Yun Jing, two True Masters he was acquainted with, both held such positions.

According to them, if a Guest Elder from afar wanted to ask for information, they would naturally disclose everything they knew.

However, if the inquirer also tactfully offered some advantage,

then, on top of being forthcoming, they would even disclose some information not easily obtained by outsiders,

perhaps allowing someone to avoid a disaster.

This was the essence of “receiving favors softens the hands, taking gifts seals the mouth.”

To He Song, who had clawed his way up from the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion, such practices were utterly commonplace.

The past He Song was certainly well-versed in these ways.

Therefore, he was extremely smooth in handling matters like offering benefits before inquiring for information.

Moreover, on his journey, this tactic had proved to be particularly effective.

Of course, upon meeting True Lord Yun Tian, He Song didn’t hesitate to employ the same method once more,

hoping to extract some secret affairs from Yun Tian’s lips.

And at this moment, True Lord Yun Tian,

upon deploying his divine sense to discover that the storage bag from He Song contained a full five thousand mid-grade spirit stones,

his face immediately showed a hint of satisfaction.

Whoever it may be,

when faced with someone giving them money, would naturally regard the giver more favorably and find them extremely pleasant to the eye.

True Lord Yun Tian was no exception.

Even though to someone like Yun Tian, the Chief Master of the Main Pavilion of the Treasure Pavilion, these mere five thousand mid-grade spirit stones weren’t a large amount,

But this was only an external Guest Elder hoping to get some inside information as a gesture of thanks from me.

Just by opening my mouth and speaking a few words, I could get my hands on five thousand mid-grade spirit stones.

Such a windfall is a lucrative deal, even for the Chief Master of the Treasure Pavilion.

Therefore, as soon as True Lord Yun Tian realized He Song’s purpose for coming and saw the generous gift of five thousand mid-grade spirit stones,

True Lord Yun Tian promptly knocked the original tea on the table to the floor.

He then took out a small pack of spirit tea from his storage bag and personally started to prepare the tea for He Song.

As the aroma of the spirit tea grew thicker,

the two quickly began a question-and-answer exchange.

He Song voiced all the doubts in his heart,

and True Lord Yun Tian answered with care.

In fact, True Lord Yun Tian even supplemented his explanations with additional details, giving He Song a deeper understanding of the matter.

Even though these details were filled with True Lord Yun Tian’s personal opinions,

they were nonetheless an excellent channel for He Song to understand the outside world.

However, when He Song later inquired

if there had been any precious treasures, such as a cultivator’s Golden Core or Void Stones, entering the auction at the Li Family’s territory recently,

True Lord Yun Tian, after pondering,

quickly gave He Song an answer.

“So the concern you mentioned earlier about missing an opportunity turns out to be this.”

“However, you have indeed sought the right person this time.”

“Just a few days ago, I heard that a Void Stone had appeared in the Three Mountains Prefecture to the east of the Li Family’s territory.”

“The cultivator who carried that Void Stone has already handed it over to the Treasure Pavilion inside the Three Mountains Prefecture.”

“Now, the Treasure Pavilion Master of the Three Mountains Prefecture has announced that this item will be auctioned off at a large auction one month from now.”

“At this point, there are probably already many cultivators rushing to the Three Mountains Prefecture.”

“Eager to participate in this major auction.”

“If you are interested, you could consider joining.”

“If you have enough spirit stones at hand, you might fulfill your wish.”

After telling He Song everything he knew and pointing out the route to the Three Mountains Immortal State from here,

True Lord Yun Tian and He Song quickly resumed their question-and-answer session.

For He Song,

such a reply from True Lord Yun Tian was a bit unexpected.

He Song really had not anticipated

that he would encounter the presence of another Void Stone on his way before even finding a place far enough from the Sun Faction and safe enough.

If He Song could get his hands on this Void Stone,

the moment he found a location that was sufficiently remote from the Sun Faction and safe enough,

He Song could immediately return to the Sun Faction and successfully refine his own second Teleportation Array.

And this Teleportation Array,

He Song had planned to install it in his own cave mansion.

In that case,

should he encounter any danger, he would no longer need to rush from Cloud State Mansion to Beiyang Immortal Province to seek the array laid out by someone else.

Instead, he could directly escape from his own cave mansion.

In the future, if He Song faced any danger in his cave mansion,

he could use the Teleportation Array within to transport himself to safety in the blink of an eye.

However, such a move would come at a steep price.

After all, if the Teleportation Array were set up in his own cave mansion,

once He Song was transported away and the destination Teleportation Array was retracted,

the array left in the cave mansion could not be taken back.

And a single Teleportation Array is worth at least three hundred thousand mid-grade spirit stones, or even four hundred thousand.

Unless his life was in danger, He Song would definitely not choose to do so.

But when truly faced with a life-threatening situation,

He Song would not hesitate, no matter how many more spirit stones it might cost.
