Chapter 290: 282: Eight Years Later
“The Li Family broke their promises. They agreed on the surface, but were secretly plotting something.”
“Now they have been exterminated by my entire clan.”
“Fortunately, I previously listened to your advice and learned the Soul Searching Skill in the Book Collection Pavilion of my sect.”
“It is precisely because of this skill that I was able to detect the Li Family’s treacherous ambitions.”
“When it was time to take action, the opportunity they promised me, as well as the location of their family treasures, were all in my hands.”
“Otherwise, even if the Li Family betrayed me, I could only sigh with regret and be helpless.”
“Fellow Daoist, you really helped me greatly. As you said, the Soul Searching Skill is indeed an essential skill when traveling outside.”
“The old man of the Li Family enjoyed the taste of the Soul Searching Skill before his death, which was truly satisfying.”
“However, due to the extermination of the Li Family, I am no longer welcomed in the Eight-vein Immortal City.”
“I have no choice but to travel far away and look for another opportunity elsewhere. ”
“The Immortal City is too small, Cloud State is where our Foundation
Establishment cultivators should go.”
“Fellow Daoist, see you in Cloud State.”
“Meng Guan.”
Looking at the densely written characters on the piece of paper, He Song understood.
He had previously received a message from Su Qian, saying that a major battle suddenly occurred at the Li Family’s base, which probably involved Meng Guan directly attacking the Foundation Establishment Master of the Li Family.
As for the Li family’s betrayal, agreeing on the surface but plotting in secret, He Song didn’t doubt anything.
He knew Meng Guan’s style of action very well.
If the Li Family hadn’t done something to threaten Meng Guan’s safety or his interests,
Considering Meng Guan’s character, he probably wouldn’t have gone to such extremes as extermination.
It seems that the Li Family must have done something intolerable to Meng Guan, which resulted in their doom.
However, what exactly happened?
Meng Guan didn’t say.
And He Song didn’t want to ask.
From Meng Guan’s gratitude for letting him learn the Soul Searching Skill, it could be inferred that the Li Family’s actions were very discreet.
If he hadn’t had the Soul Searching Skill, Meng Guan might have really fallen into their trap.
Perhaps it was because of this that Meng Guan was so enraged that he wiped out the entire Li family.
However, Meng Guan leaving the Eight-vein Immortal City and going to Cloud State was something He Song didn’t expect.
Cloud State.
It is one of the ten Immortal States under the jurisdiction of the Sun Faction.
Beneath Cloud State, there are more than twenty Immortal Cities standing tall.
The powerful individuals from these twenty Immortal Cities all gather in Cloud State, which shows its prosperity and flourishing nature.
Here, the Cloud State doesn’t refer to the entire sphere of influence, but the state mansion itself.
Cloud State is the location of the state mansion.
The name of the state mansion is called Cloud State.
Inside Cloud State Mansion, there are several Golden Elixir Masters stationed, countless Foundation Establishment Masters, and even more Qi Refining cultivators.
In such a huge mansion, the dangers and opportunities Meng Guan might face would be greater than in any Immortal City.
Crisis.
Crisis is both danger and opportunity.
It depends on whether Meng Guan can seize the opportunity and keep away from danger.
After all, Meng Guan almost overturned in the gutter and fell into the Li Family’s calculations when he was in the Eight-vein Immortal City.
Although he later struck back forcefully, destroyed the Li Family, and even got a large amount of resources, the original opportunity promised by the Li family went directly into his hands.
However, it was the Li Family who attacked first, and Meng Guan had no choice but to fight back.
At the same time, it was because Meng Guan’s strength was strong enough that he was able to counterattack.
Had he been weaker, or the Li Family stronger,
Things might not have gone this way.
Cloud State is not the same as the Eight-vein Immortal City. In Cloud State, there are Golden Core families.
With Meng Guan’s current strength, although he is already powerful enough in the Foundation Establishment Realm, he might not be a match against Golden Core Masters.
In such a situation, if he goes to Cloud State and encounters a similar situation, At that time, things might be completely different.
He Song wanted to remind Meng Guan of this but decided against it after some thought.
Having spent so much time with He Song, Meng Guan had learned some cautiousness from him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have learned the Soul Searching Skill.
Since Meng Guan already had a cautious heart, there was no need for him to waste his breath.
With this thought in mind,
He Song put the matter behind him and continued to study Elixir Refinement Skill.
Time quietly passed,
And in the blink of an eye, eight years had gone by.
During these eight years, He Song maintained contact with Meng Guan and Su Qian.
Meng Guan had already settled down in Cloud State eight years ago, renting a cave mansion there.
Cloud State, as expected, was a state mansion.
Even though Meng Guan’s cultivation had reached the Late Foundation
Establishment Stage, he still seemed somewhat inconspicuous in Cloud State.
There, he often saw Foundation Establishment Masters from various other Immortal Cities and Golden Core powers.
In addition, there were Immortal State cultivators who, backed by the Immortal State, had abundant resources.
The Immortal State cultivators were similar to those from Immortal Pavilions and Immortal Cities.
Although he was not a disciple of the Sun Faction, he still had intricate connections with it.
Of course, cultivators in Immortal State enjoy much better daily treatment than those in Immortal Pavilion and Immortal City.
After all, there was a Golden Elixir Master from the Sun Faction sitting in the Immortal State, and the cultivators in the Immortal State had a great deal of say there.
After stepping into the Cloud State Mansion, Meng Guan quickly began searching for opportunities everywhere.
There are many golden elixir powers within the sphere of influence of the Sun Faction.
The chances of him gaining the secrets of the golden elixir or the opportunities of congealing golden elixir are much greater than in the Thick Earth Sect.
After all, the Thick Earth Sect explicitly prohibits loose cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage from participating in the competition for these opportunities.
Only the premium disciples within the sect were allowed to compete for them.
But within the Sun Faction’s sphere of influence.
There is more than just one golden elixir faction.
Although it is also extremely difficult, it is not impossible to find an opportunity.
He left the Thick Earth Sect to search for opportunities that would allow him to step onto the Golden Core Path.
Naturally, Meng Guan quickly began taking action after arriving at the Cloud State, hoping to start searching for opportunities.
Over the past eight years, Meng Guan searched everywhere and occasionally found some opportunities.
However, there are differences between different opportunities.
The opportunities to step onto the Golden Core Path were far greater than those found in the cave mansions of some Qi Refining cultivators.
Unfortunately.
Over the past eight years, Meng Guan had found some opportunities, but the best one he ever gained was the entire fortune that a Foundation Establishment Master left behind after his death.
As for secrets related to the Golden Elixir and the Golden Congealing Elixir Pill, he never even heard people talk about them.
During these eight years, He Song had heard Meng Guan frequently sigh about this.
He often said things like the cultivation process is extremely difficult and incomparable.
However, both of them knew.
If the Golden Core Path were that easy, there would not be so few Golden Elixir Masters.
Golden Elixir Masters are the powerful individuals capable of establishing their own sects in remote places.
Just like the Thick Earth Sect and the other Golden Core Sects around it.
As long as someone could advance to the Golden Elixir Realm and suppress their thoughts of continuing to climb higher,
They could establish a Golden Core Sect, or a Golden Core Family, in any remote place and ensure its smooth continuation.
The face of a Golden Elixir Master is valuable.
Conflicts between Golden Elixir Masters are not as intense as those between
Refining cultivators or Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.
Once a Golden Elixir Sect or a Golden Core Family is established, continuation would not be an issue.
They could even join the Sun Faction or other Nascent Soul Upper Sects, becoming elders and learning advanced skills.
Of course.
Their status would just be like He Song and the others in the Thick Earth Sect, and they would be called Loose Golden Elixir Cultivators.
But in comparison to Foundation Establishment Masters, Golden Elixir Masters have greater power, higher status,
And they can learn much more.
Nascent Soul Upper Sects regard Qi Refining cultivators and Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators as nothing more than disciples.
Only after achieving the Golden Elixir can one be considered as an elder.
For most Golden Elixir Masters, joining a Nascent Soul Upper Sect like the Sun Faction isn’t their first choice.
Establishing their own family.
Establishing their own sect.
Traveling around the world on their own.
These are the choices most Golden Elixir Masters make.
Rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.
This is the true reflection within the hearts of many Golden Elixir Masters.
If they had already reached Golden Elixir but were still subject to others and treated differently by the Nascent Soul Upper Sect, why not live a carefree life on their own?
Now, eight years have passed.
Meng Guan has recently been exchanging information more frequently with He song.
In their most recent exchange, Meng Guan mentioned his thoughts of visiting other state mansions.
He Song agreed with him.
If they had been staying in Cloud State this entire time without finding any opportunities, why keep staying here?
The Sun Faction had jurisdiction over ten Immortal States, so why not go to other Immortal State mansions, looking for opportunities?
Even if they couldn’t find opportunities within the Sun Faction, going to the sphere of influence of other Nascent Soul Upper Sects wouldn’t be a problem either.
As a Late Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, Meng Guan can ensure his safety during long journeys.
Trees die when they are uprooted, but people thrive when they move.
Perhaps after changing the place, their fortunes would change for the better?
However, during the last conversation between the two, Meng Guan had not made up his mind and still had some hesitation.
Apart from Meng Guan, He Song himself had been in Heaven Power Immortal City for eight full years, and his mastery of various elixirs had also improved greatly.
Eight years ago, He Song had already started researching the Detoxification Elixir.
Now, eight years later, He Song had become proficient in refining detoxification elixirs.
After becoming proficient in the refining process of the Detoxification Elixir, He Song quickly turned his attention to the next elixir he had chosen earlier.
Great Spirit Elixir.
This is the elixir he had chosen early on to try refining after becoming proficient in refining detoxification elixirs.
Great Spirit Elixir is a healing elixir with a slight detoxifying effect. It works extremely well for Foundation Establishment Masters.
It is an essential medicine when going out..
