Chapter 217 - 217: 209: Heaven Ascending Inn
Materials for making spirit puppets naturally could not be prepared in just one portion.
Since he happened to be here, he purchased more to avoid any failure in refining and having to leave the Immortal Pavilion to buy materials again.
That would be too troublesome.
It is better to buy more at once, and begin refining spirit puppets after returning to the Immortal Pavilion.
He prepared several portions of puppet refining materials, costing tens of thousands of spirit stones.
After some consideration, He Song also purchased some defense spirit amulets and life-saving spirit amulets for Foundation Establishment Realm usage at the Treasure Pavilion.
Defensive spirit amulets for Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators were much more expensive than those for Qi Refining stage cultivators.
The defense spirit amulets and life-saving spirit amulets he purchased cost him several thousand spirit stones in total.
Such a terrifying expenditure made He Song secretly click his tongue.
However, as an amulet Tao master, he also understood the difficulties of Amulet Tao.
Foundation Establishment spirit amulets were so expensive, their cost should not be too low either.
As for the exact cost, He Song probably could only find out after becoming a Foundation Establishment amulet master and drawing one himself.
Right now, He Song’s research on Amulet Tao was far from being able to create Foundation Establishment spirit amulets.
It wasn’t difficult for He Song to make rapid progress in Amulet Tao. After Foundation Establishment,
Learning the Qi Observing Skill would greatly reduce the difficulty in understanding and mastering the method of drawing spirit amulets.
The Qi Observing Skill was extremely useful for various Hundred Skills of Cultivation Truth.
It was precisely because of this,
that after Foundation Establishment masters learned the Qi Observing Skill, they only needed to study a little more, they could completely master the Hundred Skills of Cultivation Introduction that required no talent, only hard work.
However, that’s about it.
As for the Array Tao Primary Introduction and Amulet Tao Introductory Insights, learning the Qi Observing Skill would only slightly reduce the difficulty of studying them.
There was still a huge difference between the introductory and primary stages.
It was like the gap between the Qi Refining stage and the Foundation Establishment Realm.
It was an unbridgeable chasm.
He Song mastering the small Spirit-Gathering Array, Smoke Array, and Seven Kills Heaven Fire Array from the Array Tao Primary Introduction was because he had some talent in Array Tao.
In addition, his powerful soul made his study of the Hundred Skills of Cultivation Truth much faster than ordinary cultivators.
With these two factors working together, He Song’s study of Array Tao Primary Introduction was so smooth.
After spending several thousand spirit stones purchasing some defense spirit amulets and life-saving spirit amulets for the Foundation Establishment
Realm,
He Song left under the puzzled eyes of Jiang Fei. After He Song’s figure exited the Treasure Pavilion,
Jiang Fei’s eyes suddenly flashed with a trace of doubt.
“Why would a Qi Refining great perfection cultivator buy Foundation
Establishment realm spirit amulets?”
“Could it be for his master’s use?”
“The materials he bought earlier also seemed to be for Foundation
Establishment realm cultivators.” “Hiss, could he be a disciple of a Master?”
“Or could it be…
Watching He Song’s receding figure, Jiang Fei carefully pondered for a moment, and felt that there was nothing improper in his dealings with He Song.
Only then did Jiang Fei let out a sigh of relief, a trace of fear crossing his face.
“Fortunately, I didn’t say anything offensive to him.” “Otherwise, I might have caused big trouble.”
Feeling relieved, a smile appeared on Jiang Fei’s face.
It seemed as if he was reminding himself to always greet every guest with a smile.
He Song didn’t pay any attention to Jiang Fei’s behavior behind him.
After purchasing several portions of puppet refining materials and Foundation Establishment realm spirit amulets, He Song left the Treasure Pavilion.
He found another inn nearby.
He planned to change his costume and leave Green Wall Immortal City.
However,
Just as He Song casually entered an inn and took out ten spirit stones to rent a room for ten days,
The innkeeper in front of him smiled and said,
“This is the Heaven Ascending Inn, the room fee is ten spirit stones per day.”
Although he didn’t explicitly refuse,
From the innkeeper’s smiling face, He Song knew that the keeper in front of him was probably eyeing the money.
All other inns only charged one spirit stone per day,
But here, he needed ten spirit stones per day?
And also called it Heaven Ascending Inn?
What? Did staying here for a night guarantee ascension to immortality?
Although He Song had a lot of spirit stones, even after a round of consumption, he still had more than 100,000 spirit stones left.
But he wouldn’t waste them like this.
He would save when he needed to and spend when necessary.
For his own strength, He Song could easily spend tens or even hundreds of thousands of spirit stones without blinking an eye.
But in a situation like this, he didn’t want to give even one extra spirit stone.
“There’s no need for that. The Heaven Ascending Inn had an Foundation Establishment Master ascending here more than ten years ago. That master ascended successfully here.”
“So, the name of our inn was changed to Heaven Ascending Inn.”
“With such a predecessor’s example, staying here during your breakthrough to Foundation Establishment might increase your success rate.”
“A room fee of ten spirit stones per night is really not expensive. If it was a few years ago, you would have to queue up to book a room.”
Seeing that He Song was about to turn around and leave, the innkeeper quickly explained.
As he spoke, he even puffed out his chest as if feeling proud that the name Heaven Ascending Inn had given him some sort of glory.
Heaven Ascending Inn had given him some sort of glory.
However,
As He Song listened to the innkeeper’s explanation,
He felt that something was wrong the more he listened.
More than ten years ago?
Successfully ascended here?
What is this… Why does it sound so much like me?
Looking around, disbelief flashed in He Song’s eyes.
This inn seems to be the one where he had “established his foundation” all those years ago.
Although the decorations of this inn had changed, the overall layout had only undergone minor alterations.
It was merely because He Song had casually chosen an inn to change his appearance before leaving Green Wall Immortal City that he had paid no attention to the surrounding environment.
He also hadn’t taken a close look at this inn.
Otherwise, he might have recognized it even before entering the inn.
This inn.
Indeed, it was the same one where he had “established his foundation” more than a decade ago.
How could he have expected it?
He had merely randomly chosen an inn for his “Foundation Establishment,” and after the breakthrough, the inn had astonishingly changed its name to Heaven Ascending Inn.
Now.
More than a decade later.
Not only was this Heaven Ascending Inn still in existence.
But it also charged a high price for him, the one who had started it all.
With this thought, He Song’s gaze towards the shopkeeper suddenly became weirder.
Then.
He didn’t say anything else.
Instead, he took out a hundred spirit stones and placed them lightly on the table.
“Get me a room for ten days.”
Just as He Song handed over the spirit stones.
He felt as if everything before his eyes was somewhat unreal. He.
Had unexpectedly become a legend in people’s mouths because of an unintentional small act.
Would the legend of Heaven Ascending Inn’s ascension persist in Green Wall Immortal City for a very long time?
However, nobody probably knew that the person who had left the legend behind.
When he once again returned to this place by sheer coincidence, he had to pay ten times the amount of spirit stones due to the legend he had once left behind. At this thought, He Song couldn’t help but have a strange expression on his face.
He looked at the shopkeeper with a touch of sigh in his eyes.
This shopkeeper.
Really was a clever person.
“Alright, Master, please come in.”
Seeing He Song show a hundred spirit stones, the shopkeeper immediately grinned and quickly invited He Song to check into the inn.
seemg tn1S scene.
He Song didn’t say anything more.
He just glanced around, matching the inn’s furnishings to what he had seen more than a decade ago when he had established his foundation.
Indeed, aside from some small details, everything matched.
He Song even heard the price of the room he had once stayed in from the shopkeeper.
“You’re asking about this room? This room was where the Master broke through and established his foundation. The price isn’t expensive; for a hundred spirit stones, I’ll arrange it for you for one night.” His randomly chosen room from back then.
Now it required a hundred spirit stones per night.
He Song couldn’t help but be rendered speechless at this.
He waved his hand to decline the shopkeeper’s invitation before quickly entering his newly-opened room.
He closed the door.
Turned on the Array Skills.
He concealed his aura completely.
Afterward.
He Song shook his head, took off his black robe, and burned it.
He then removed all the other items on his person, washing them and his body with mana.
Finally, he took out another black robe from his storage bag and put it on.
He then put all the items he had taken off back into his black robe.
After completing all this.
With a thought, He Song’s appearance changed drastically compared to before.
When his appearance had become completely unrecognizable, incapable of being recognized or tracked by anyone.
He Song left the inn and headed towards the distance.
However.
After leaving the inn, He Song couldn’t help but look back at the name of the inn once more.
“Heaven Ascending Inn.”
“Indeed, Heaven Ascending Inn.”
“Who could have thought that a casual choice could create a legend here?”
Heaving a silent sigh, He Song turned around and calmly headed towards the outside of Green Wall Immortal City.
This time.
He had already completed everything he needed to do in Green Wall Immortal City.
He had enough puppet-making materials to refine several spirit puppets.
The defensive spirit amulets and life-saving spirit amulets on his person were also fully prepared.
There was no longer any value in remaining here.
Therefore.
After contemplating, He Song left Green Wall Immortal City and headed for Thick Earth Sect’s mountain gate.
Up next.
He needed to return to Thick Earth Sect’s mountain gate and visit the Book Collection Pavilion to look for a spirit plant that he could cultivate, so that he could have a sufficient source of spirit stones after establishing his foundation.
Whether it was spirit rice that could increase one’s cultivation when consumed during the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Or other spirit medicines that could bring him profits, all of them could be cultivated.
Since entering the Cultivation World, he had been a spiritual plant farmer.
So, he naturally wouldn’t be unfamiliar with these things..
