Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 775: Chapter 589 Unwelcome Guest_2

No matter which of my two guesses is correct,

it proves that these two individuals did not have pure intentions when they led people away from the Luo Feng state mansion.

In the following period, I fear I still need to be a bit more careful to avoid these two getting entangled with me.

With such thoughts flickering through my mind, He Song naturally did not bring up what he had previously said to Master White Crane.

Initially, when Master White Crane extended an invitation to He Song, He Song had claimed that if Master White Crane obtained some treasures, he could come over for a visit.

Then, He Song might even be able to purchase some items from him.

It was a way to feel somewhat involved.

This matter originally wasn’t something that He Song took to heart.

After all, no one would rush to someone else’s mansion just after having acquired a good amount of treasures.

But things are different now.

Given that Master White Crane has declared that he and his friend did not obtain many treasures from that place of treasure,

he could use the excuse of having only obtained a few items to show He Song, as a reason to visit him.

When that time comes, while He Song is inspecting the treasures in his hands,

fearfully, Master White Crane would extend an invitation to He Song once again.

Such an occurrence was something He Song did not wish to experience.

However,

just as He Song had decided to distance himself from Master White Crane to avoid the continuous invitations from the other party,

Master White Crane had already surreptitiously arrived at his doorstep before He Song had had a chance to speak.

One day,n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

outside the mansion of He Song,

Master White Crane, with a smile on his face, looked at He Song in front of him who had just opened the door of his mansion and was greeting him with continuous bows.

“Fellow Daoist, it’s been many days since we last met, yet your elegance remains unchanged,”

“However, my friend and I did encounter a frightening shock while we were out treasure hunting, although we did obtain a few items.”

“This made me a few days late in my visit, and I hope for your understanding, fellow Daoist.”

“I am here today because of what you mentioned earlier, wishing to see the treasures from that place, and thus I took the initiative to visit.”

“I wonder, do you still have interest in the treasures from that place?”

And watching Master White Crane in front of him, who wore a smile, appeared as usual, and even seemed more pleased than before,

He Song’s expression remained the same, but in his heart, he became even more certain of his previous suspicions.

Did Master White Crane look even slightly startled?

Seeing his demeanor, He Song wouldn’t doubt for a second if he said he had come into a small fortune recently.

This kind of genuine smile, He Song had seen on many faces before.

But they were commonly found on those who were in good spirits after a happy event, not on someone who had just been frightened.

Therefore, with just a glance at Master White Crane in front of him, He Song had already figured out the purpose of Master White Crane’s visit this time.

Perhaps, it was still to extend another invitation for him to join in the treasure hunt at the place he mentioned?

But it’s unknown,

what expression Master White Crane would make once he finds out about my status as a Golden Elixir Master if I really followed him.

Thoughts swirled in his mind, and a hint of awkwardness flickered across He Song’s expression.

“Not to hide from you, fellow Daoist, I’ve had a bit of an epiphany recently that has indeed improved my skills considerably,”

“I am currently attempting to draw a more powerful Foundation Establishment Talisman.”

“Fellow Daoist has come to visit in person, and I should be the one to host and have a good talk with you,”

“Unfortunately, your visit has come at an inconvenient time.”

“The drawing of this talisman is at a critical juncture.”

“If I can successfully overcome this Foundation Establishment Talisman, my amulet-making skills will likely take another big leap.”

“As such, I truly do not have the time to entertain you myself.”

“I hope for your understanding, fellow Daoist.”

“Regarding the matter of the treasures, please seek someone else, fellow Daoist. At present, I genuinely do not have the energy to look at anything else.”

He Song’s refusal was diplomatically gentle.

The reason he found was also flawless.

After all, it was rather disturbing to have a fellow Daoist visit when one was on the verge of a breakthrough.

The fact that he opened the door to say these words had already shown He Song’s regard for this person and had given the visitor sufficient face.

If after hearing these words, one still persisted in pestering He Song, wanting to observe his practice,

that would be quite unreasonable.

By then, He Song probably wouldn’t offer any goodwill, and it wouldn’t be surprising if they never associated with each other again.

Therefore, although He Song’s refusal this time was diplomatic and his reasons unassailable, even giving Master White Crane enough face to avoid embarrassment,

If Master White Crane insisted, the situation could very well turn into outright refusal to recognize him.

This, Master White Crane, from being a loose cultivator scrabbling his way up to this point, could naturally discern.

In such a situation, taking the opportunity to step down gracefully was the correct choice.

For this reason, upon hearing He Song’s words, Master White Crane immediately realized the situation.

Knowing that He Song was currently preoccupied with important matters and should not be disturbed,

he immediately gave He Song multiple bows in respect.

“I had originally thought that after many days of study, fellow Daoist had already mastered his art to perfection, but to my surprise, fellow Daoist’s progress has been so great,”

“that you have even started challenging stronger Foundation Establishment Talismans. This was my oversight, and I hope fellow Daoist can forgive my interruption.”

“Having been out of touch for many days, I was truly unaware of your current endeavors.”

“With this in mind, I will no longer disturb you, please continue with your work.”

“Please make sure that my visit doesn’t cause any disruption to your efforts.”

After bowing and speaking these words, Master White Crane then turned around and left.

In just a moment, he vanished from He Song’s sight.

Seeing this, He Song didn’t say anything more and simply closed his mansion’s main gate, then entered his residence.

Within the state mansion of Luo Feng Province, He Song’s mansion was protected by several array formations.

The outermost one was a Smoke Array.

The Smoke Array, being a Foundation Establishment Concealment Array, was used around the outermost perimeter of the mansion. It not only concealed everything within He Song’s mansion but also complemented the level of cultivation he publicly displayed.

After all, the level of cultivation He Song displayed publicly was merely at the peak of Foundation Establishment.

Using a Smoke Array, a Concealment Array suited for Foundation Establishment, was entirely normal.

If one’s cultivation was only at Foundation Establishment, but they used a Golden Elixir Array, it would likely raise suspicions.

Although inside the mansion He Song had also set up a Divine Thunder Array and a complete Spirit-Gathering Array,

due to the outer Smoke Array’s concealment, these two arrays remained unknown to others.

This way, not only the affairs inside He Song’s mansion remained private,

but it also prevented others from harboring doubts about him.

Moreover, it offered his mansion a certain degree of defense and offensive capability, as well as an environment rich in spirit Qi.

In this manner, it could truly be considered as killing several birds with one stone.

After sending Master White Crane on his way, He Song was not worried about his activities within the mansion being observed by others.

Therefore, once Master White Crane had left, He Song directly went to the pavilion inside his mansion and brewed himself a pot of Golden Elixir spirit tea.

As the whiffs of tea fragrance began to permeate the surroundings,

He Song’s divine sense also quietly spread out in that moment, starting to sense the vicinity.

The location where He Song resided

was a serene place abundant in water and greenery within Luo Feng Province state mansion, with a significant number of Foundation Establishment True Persons dwelling within.

Here, the number of Foundation Establishment True Persons was not small,

but Golden Elixir Masters simply did not exist in this place.

And thus, although He Song extended his divine sense here, no cultivator could possibly detect the presence of his divine sense.

The divine sense at the Golden Elixir Realm had a considerably wide range of sensing,

so just by extending his divine sense, He Song quickly discovered Master White Crane, who was hastily leaving, not far from his own mansion.

Master White Crane, after saying goodbye to He Song, chose to leave the area directly.
