Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 486: 445 Soul Searching _2

Information regarding Foundation Establishment Clans like this, Foundation Establishment forces like this, and even some hidden rumors and so on in this place.

At first, Master Bai Xuan was somewhat vigilant, as if he was afraid that He Song needed this information for some ulterior motives.

But when he heard He Song say that he was going to leave this place today, and the reason for asking this information was just to enrich his experience and insights of the visit.

His vigilance in his heart dropped considerably.

However, he only mentioned some things that could be discussed and shared some with He Song casually.

Some specific things and some hidden matters were just briefly touched on and not spoken much about.

Therefore, when He Song finished his transaction with Master Bai Xuan and said his goodbyes to leave,

He Song had some understanding of the Foundation Establishment Masters in this Green Mountain Immortal City, as well as the Foundation Establishment Clans behind them and other forces, and so on.

However, it was not comprehensive.

He Song didn’t care too much about this. After leaving the Treasure Pavilion, he quickly found a teahouse at random, sat by a window on the second floor, and began to enjoy his tea quietly.

At the same time, various pieces of information about Green Mountain Immortal City flashed through He Song’s mind.

In the Green Mountain Immortal City, there are a total of three Foundation Establishment Clans.

The Li Family is the strongest, followed by the other two Foundation Establishment Clans. The two clans now basically look up to the Li Family as a leader.

The reason is that the Li Family has a more extensive influence, and the strength of its clan master is the strongest among the four Foundation Establishment Clans.

Moreover, there are two Foundation Establishment Masters in the Li Family in this generation.

One is the Li Family Master, and the other is the current elder of the Li Family.

With two Foundation Establishment Masters in the clan, the prosperity of the Li Family is evident.

The Li Family’s influence is extensive, and it is not a secret in Green Mountain Immortal City. Besides possessing abundant resources in Green Mountain Immortal City, the Li Family even seems to have some lingering connections in other Immortal Cities.

However, no one knows anything about these connections since the Li Family members haven’t publicized them.

Master Bai Xuan didn’t elaborate on it but only vaguely mentioned it once.

In this Green Mountain Immortal City, everyone knows that the Li Family is prosperous, but they don’t know the reason for its prosperity.

The Li Family Master, with the dharma title Master Yun Hua, has reached Foundation Establishment Great Perfection.

As for the other Foundation Establishment Master of the Li Family, his cultivation is the same as that of the masters of the other two clans, all at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage.

After recalling what Master Bai Xuan had told him in his mind, He Song naturally figured out the identities of the four Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators outside the city.

There were four Foundation Establishment cultivators, one at the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection and three at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage.

These cultivation levels were equal to those of the Four Foundation Establishment Masters from the Three Great Foundation Establishment Clans in Green Mountain Immortal City.

In this way, the identities of the four Foundation Establishment Masters outside the City naturally became apparent.

The four Foundation Establishment Masters outside the city were indeed the Four Foundation Establishment Masters of the Three Great Foundation Establishment Clans in Green Mountain Immortal City.

Apart from that.

He Song also heard some other information from Master Bai Xuan’s mouth.

However, most of it was incomplete, and He Song was too lazy to judge whether the information Master Bai Xuan provided was correct.

So, he directly extended his divine sense and began investigating the secrets of the Li Family.

With He Song’s current cultivation level in the Golden Elixir Realm, no one within Green Mountain Immortal City could detect the existence of his divine sense.

As long as He Song wanted, he could cover the desired location with his divine sense, sense it, and obtain a lot of information about this location.

And now.

He Song extended his divine sense and covered the entire area where the Li Family members gathered.

He could hear very clearly the conversations of all these people.

A moment later.

He Song retrieved his divine sense thoughtfully and quickly vanished inside the teahouse.

Green Mountain Immortal City.

The Li Family.

When He Song’s figure quietly appeared here, there were no more secrets about the Li Family in his eyes.

After sensing with his divine sense for a long time earlier, He Song had already heard many secrets of the Li Family from the mouths of the members of the Li Family.

Although some were just bits and pieces, for He Song,

It was already enough.

As long as He Song knew that there was no Golden Elixir force backing the Li Family and the other two Foundation Establishment Clans, everything would be fine.

He Song’s purpose in coming here was to confirm whether the fragments of information he had heard before were true.

He Song, who quietly entered the Li Family, passed through numerous obstacles set up by the Li Family without attracting anyone’s attention.

He walked past one cultivator after another.

Eventually, he arrived at a courtyard where only an old man lived.

When He Song stealthily entered the courtyard and stepped into the house, the old man was taking out blood-colored elixirs one by one, swallowing them into his stomach.

From those blood-colored elixirs, a faint fishy smell wafted out.

Seeing this, He Song slightly frowned.

This old man had reached the Qi Refining great perfection realm but hadn’t broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. He had become extremely old, and it seemed that he didn’t have much time left to live.

Moreover, with his advanced age, he must have spent a long time in the Li Family and probably had a deep understanding of the family’s secrets.

Under these circumstances, when He Song wanted to know if the Li Family had any hidden matters, it was natural to ask this old man, who would likely provide the correct answer.

Thinking of this,

He Song set up a Smoke Array in the old man’s courtyard.

Then, he snatched the bottle of blood-colored elixirs from the old man’s hand, held it, and used his divine sense to inspect it.

“Who’s there!”

Just as He Song set up the Smoke Array and snatched the blood-colored elixirs from the old man’s hand,

the old man, whose elixirs were taken, suddenly changed his expression and shouted angrily.

As soon as he spoke, his voice was extremely loud.

If it weren’t for the Smoke Array that He Song had already set up, the shout would have quickly spread throughout the entire Li Family, drawing the attention of others.

This angry shout contained not only an interrogative tone but also the intention to alert others for help.

As for this,

He Song knew it well, and he also realized that this old man in front of him might not be as simple as he appeared.

Being able to react so quickly to an enemy’s invasion and call the clan members, it was apparent that the old man was meticulous and decisive in his actions.

“Blood Elixir? Your Li Family is quite daring, buying Blood Elixirs from practitioners of diabolism to extend the life of Qi Refining stage cultivators.”

“It seems that my investigation of your Li Family this time is indeed worthwhile.”

Storing the jade bottle with the blood-colored elixirs in his storage bag, the aura of He Song’s Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivation base was also exerted towards the old man, making the old man’s face turn red from the pressure.

Under He Song’s Foundation Establishment Great Perfection spiritual pressure, the old man, whose cultivation base was only at Qi Refining great perfection, faced tremendous pressure, causing his thoughts to become chaotic.

However, he quickly calmed down.

A Foundation Establishment Master in the Li Family?

It wasn’t impossible!

If they joined forces with the other two clans, even cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection would have their claws chopped off when they tried to mess with the Li Family.

With this in mind, even though this person in front of him was a Foundation Establishment Master, he did not seem to be too much for his Li Family to handle.

However, if the matter of the Blood Elixir was exposed, the Li Family would quickly be labeled as colluding with diabolic practitioners and would be exterminated.

By then…

Various thoughts flashed through the old man’s mind, and he was about to say something.

But he saw He Song already reaching out to pat his forehead.

Having lived in a Foundation Establishment Clan and having reached the Qi Refining Great Perfection Realm,

he was not a naive cultivator.

As soon as he saw He Song’s move, a thought immediately flashed through his mind.

Soul-searching!

This person wanted to use the Soul-Searching Skill on him!

Upon realizing this, the old man’s face turned red, his forehead’s veins bulged, and his expression became extremely horrified.

As a member of the Li Family, he had seen the Li Family Master perform soul-searching on others.

He also had a vivid memory of the miserable state of other cultivators when they faced soul-searching.
