Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation
Chapter 1243 - Chapter 1243 Chapter 823 Past Events_2

Chapter 1243: Chapter 823: Past Events_2 Chapter 1243: Chapter 823: Past Events_2 It turns out that many years ago, He Song had already presented them with a tremendous opportunity.

In this way, it was not in vain that He Song had previously given them the two Golden Congealing Elixir Pills.

But, hostilities are on the horizon.

Although He Song knew that, with Meng Guan and Wei Fan’s abilities, this battle was unlikely to bother them,

he still feared the unexpected.

What if?

If there really were such an unforeseen event.

If he missed today, He Song might never be able to tell them about it.

Therefore, after much deliberation, even though He Song knew that revealing these things now and telling Meng Guan and Wei Fan,

the shock they would experience wouldn’t be as great as if they had discovered it themselves.

But still, that question lingered.

What if he never had the chance to tell his two old friends face-to-face again?

In such a scenario, even though He Song knew that talking about it now might not have the best effect,

at least, by revealing it, Meng Guan and Wei Fan would know what He Song had done for them.

They would also come to realize,

it turns out,

the reason they were able to find those two Golden Congealing Elixir Pills was actually because He Song had personally delivered them.

It wasn’t that they had casually dug up a Golden Elixir Master’s grave and found the pills.

Upon knowing this,

what would they do?

As thoughts flickered through his mind, He Song’s gaze shifted to Meng Guan and Wei Fan in front of him.

Seeing that Meng Guan and Wei Fan were also looking at him,

He Song casually picked up the jade slip in front of him and handed it to Meng Guan.

Meng Guan, feeling somewhat puzzled, still accepted the jade slip and probed it with his divine sense.

But, at that moment,

Meng Guan’s expression suddenly changed.

The next instant,

after scanning the information in the jade slip once over, Meng Guan swiftly passed the slip to Wei Fan beside him.

Wei Fan took the jade slip and explored it with divine sense.

His expression instantly transformed just as Meng Guan’s had.

And He Song,

having seen the change in their expressions, began to speak.

“Many years ago,”

“after the two Fellow Daoists left the Thick Earth Sect, I chanced upon an opportunity,”

“It was a Golden Elixir Cave Mansion,”

“The name of its master, I’d rather not say too much,”

“But in that cave mansion, though fraught with danger, to the point where even I nearly met with disaster, the treasures within were indeed numerous,”

“Relying on luck, I cleared the perils and found no less than five Golden Congealing Elixir Pills,”

“Regrettably,”

“My talents are too meager, and when attempting to break through to the Golden Core Realm, I used up three pills before I finally succeeded,”

“After I had successfully stabilized my cultivation in the Golden Core Realm,

“I learned from the two of you that you had also found a Golden Elixir Cave Mansion,”

“At that time, my strength was much weaker than yours,”

“A Gold Core Cultivator who had just broken through, without any Golden Elixir techniques at my disposal,

“And the two of you, merely at Foundation Establishment Great Perfection,”

“With such strength, even if a middle Golden Elixir Cultivator randomly confronted us, all three of us would have no escape,”

“Therefore, when I first succeeded in breaking through to the Golden Core Realm, I did not publicize it, still pretending as if I hadn’t broken through,”

“However, after stabilizing my cultivation, knowing I still had two Golden Congealing Elixir Pills in hand,

“And knowing the two of you had found a Golden Elixir Cave Mansion,”

“A plan formed in my heart,”

“So, I set out overnight, following the vague location mentioned by you two, searching with Golden Core Divine Sense,”

“Eventually, I found your whereabouts within the Golden Snake Sect’s area of influence,”

“These three items,”

“The first, I casually took from the beam in the guest room of Master Xing Yan’s cave mansion.”

“The second, I took several hundred jin of grain seeds from his spirit field.”

“And the third, was Master Xing Yan’s turning.”

“As for these items, the first was taken out of curiosity, and the second because the spirit rice was indeed pleasing, so I took it as well.”

“The third was because, had I left it there, the two of you would only need a glance to realize something unusual about Master Xing Yan’s assets.”

“Such a person who could act recklessly and carefree when their lifespan was about to end,”

“Would definitely not leave behind two Golden Congealing Elixir Pills for the two of you after their passing.”

“Therefore, I took them to prevent the matter from being exposed.”

“Even the Array Skills within his cave mansion were casually set up by me, to allow you both peace of mind to attempt breaking through to the Golden Core Realm.”

“But now,”

“Our three cultivations are no longer afraid of external rumors.”

“My cultivation had already successfully broken through to the Golden Elixir Great Perfection Realm many years ago.”

“Thus, there’s no longer a need to keep this matter hidden like before.”

Having said that, He Song looked towards Meng Guan and Wei Fan with an open expression.

Indeed, these were the only gains he had in Master Xing Yan’s cave mansion.

Moreover, he took the White Jade Pearl out of curiosity.

He took the several hundred jin of spirit rice out of need.

And he took Master Xing Yan’s turning to avoid exposing the matter.

As such, He Song naturally had a clear conscience.

Furthermore, He Song’s actions had also left two Golden Congealing Elixir Pills for Meng Guan and Wei Fan.

Under such circumstances,

Even if Meng Guan and Wei Fan had complaints about He Song’s casual thievery, they couldn’t hold it against him.

After all, the Golden Congealing Elixir Pills had already been consumed.

The few items He Song took didn’t truly have significant value.

Even the White Jade Pearl was merely an ordinary White Jade Pearl.

However,

When He Song looked openly at Meng Guan and Wei Fan,

He saw them quickly stand up and solemnly bow deeply to him.

Seeing this, He Song also hurriedly got up and helped them to their feet.

His face showed a flash of confusion.

But when Meng Guan and Wei Fan saw the perplexed look on He Song’s face,

Meng Guan spoke at that moment.

“Without hiding it from Fellow Daoist,”

“The reason Wei and I joined the Sun Faction so quickly after breaking through to the Golden Core Realm,”

“Is actually related to this matter.”

“Even afterwards, Wei and I joined the Sun Faction, feeling fortunate in our hearts.”

“We just didn’t expect that it was Fellow Daoist who orchestrated it all behind the scenes.”

“Fellow Daoist, you have truly kept me in the dark,”

Meng Guan said, shaking his head with a wry smile, as a hint of helplessness flashed across Wei Fan’s face.

But before He Song could ask anything,

Meng Guan continued speaking.

“Back then, when Wei and I took turns burning Master Xing Yan’s Array Skills outside the cave mansion, during the critical final phase,”

“Wei and I actually sensed that something was off.”

“After all, the original Array Skills would ripple slightly when burned with spirit fire.”

“But at a certain moment, when we burned the Array Skills in front of us with spirit fire, there was no longer the same reaction as before.”

“From that time on, Wei and I suspected that the Array Skills might have been changed by someone.”

“However, due to our greed for the Golden Elixir Cave Mansion, we did not make this known, but continued to act accordingly.”

“After all, the expert who replaced the Array Skills did not kill us.”

“And, neither Wei nor I understood Array Skills back then, and we even thought it could be a revival at the end of their run.”

“So, we just continued burning it.”

“Unexpectedly,”

“Not long after, this Array was actually broken.”
