Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 510: 457: Furious Defeat_2

Once He Song had slightly refined the Green Jade Leaf and completely taken control of it,

the Black-Robe Golden Elixir could no longer sense its existence.

After all, the Green Jade Leaf had become He Song’s property and had nothing to do with its previous owner.

And just as this happened,

sitting on the second floor of a teahouse and inadvertently watching the Treasure Pavilion, the Black-Robe Golden Elixir waiting for He Song to walk out had a sudden feeling of foreboding.

After realizing that he could no longer pinpoint the Green Jade Leaf, he knew something was amiss.

At this moment,

He suddenly remembered a thought that had flicked through his mind.

At that time, he had wondered whether the Golden Elixir Master backing He Song was actually Master Luo Jing, who had just ascended the Golden Elixir Realm and held the Golden Elixir celebration.

But he had quickly dismissed the thought.

Considering Master Luo Jing was a member of the Treasure Pavilion, how could she be short of such a thing?

Indeed, her master, Master Zi Shan, must have prepared everything for her in advance.

However, that fleeting thought in his mind made him feel as if struck by lightning at this moment.

As a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator,

He Song’s participation in the exchange event among Golden Elixir cultivators could only mean that there must be at least one, or even several, Golden Elixir Masters behind him.

So, why couldn’t Master Luo Jing be the one behind He Song?

Why did He Song not leave when many other Golden Elixir Masters had left?

Why did He Song personally visit Treasure Pavilion a few days after the end of the Golden Elixir celebration?

Why was the tracking mark on He Song removed shortly after he entered the Treasure Pavilion?

Why, after He Song entered Treasure Pavilion, the Green Jade Leaf was refined by someone else too?

When one thing happens, it could be a coincidence.

But when many things happen consecutively, even if he didn’t want to admit it, he could tell that these were no mere coincidences.

When he could no longer sense the Green Jade Leaf’s presence,

the thoughts in the Black-Robe Golden Elixir’s mind whirled rapidly,

ultimately all that came out was a quiet sigh.

“No wonder I have been waiting here for several days without ever seeing this man leaving his residence.”

“No wonder during these days, He Song hasn’t left nor given the Green Jade Leaf to the Golden Elixir Master behind him.”

“It turns out that the Golden Elixir Master he mentioned was the same one who held the Golden Elixir celebration.”

“Right after the celebration ended, that person must have been very busy, it was only today that she was available to meet.”

“Today, upon meeting her and handing over the Green Jade Leaf, I’m afraid I will have no more connection with this item.”

“Perhaps, He Song bought the Green Jade Leaf without knowing that Master Luo Jing was not in need of it.”

“Unexpectedly, unexpectedly.”

“After days of effort, all of it was for nothing.”

“Sigh.”

Gazing at the Treasure Pavilion, the Black-Robe Golden Elixir was lost in thought, and the sighs in his mouth never stopped for a moment.

At the sound of it, one would easily know something bad had happened to him.

However, when He Song left the Treasure Pavilion and returned to his residence to continue cultivation,

the Black-Robe Golden Elixir, still on the second floor of the teahouse, did not leave right away.

He wanted to wait a little longer.

To wait for He Song to leave, then follow the residual aura left by the Tracking Skill, and intercept He Song.

By that time,

whether through soul searching or forceful interrogation, he could find the ins and outs of the matter from He Song’s mouth.

As for whether searching He Song’s soul would anger Master Luo Jing behind him, the Black-Robe Golden Elixir did not care at all.

As a Golden Elixir Master, if he couldn’t take action against a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator without being detected, he might as well stop being a Golden Elixir Master.

Given the power gap between the Golden Elixir Realm and the Foundation Establishment Realm,

as long as the Black-Robe Golden Elixir wanted, the Foundation Establishment cultivator would have no chance to fight back.

This was the reason why he was prepared to wait even further.

However.

This wait.

Had been exactly one month quietly passing by.

One month later.

The black-robed Golden Elixir, who was still on the second floor of the teahouse, looking towards the direction where the Treasure Pavilion was, finally couldn’t help himself. He crushed the teacup in his hand into powder with one hand.

And then banged it on the table in front of him with a thud.

As the sound of the table shattering echoed out, the square table in front of him shattered as well.

The other people in the teahouse were startled by this sudden noise.

When they turned their heads towards the black-robed Golden Elixir, they were glared back at him fiercely.

With the appearance of a powerful spiritual pressure.

For a time, the entire teahouse was silent as a pin drop.

As the delicate and dense porcelain dust softly fell in front of the black-robed Golden Elixir, his chest heaved, his face filled with murderous intent.

“One month!”

“A whole month!”

“Did this person have a premonition after returning from the Treasure Pavilion and entered seclusive cultivation?”

“Secluding himself for a whole month, by today, the leftover remnants of the Tracking Skill have been consumed.”

“Now, even if I use the Tracking Skill, I can no longer detect this person’s movements.”

“Damn it!”

“I don’t believe it! You can’t always stay in your residence and not leave Cloud State Mansion!”

After waiting in vain for a full month, the patience of the black-robed Golden Elixir had long worn thin. Now, the eyes looking in the direction where the Treasure Pavilion was located were filled with a thick killing intent.

This person made him, a Golden Elixir Master, wait for over a month for nothing; he deserves to be killed!

He even thought that if he were to catch this person, he would definitely search their soul and extract their spirit for refining, so as to relieve the hatred in his heart!

One month ago.

During the first few days, the black-robed Golden Elixir thought that He Song had already met Master Luo Jing and would leave his residence and even leave Cloud State Mansion within a few days.

A few days later, He Song hadn’t left, and the black-robed Golden Elixir thought that he would always leave this place in a few more days.

When ten days passed, He Song still hadn’t left, and the black-robed Golden Elixir thought that after resting for half a month, He Song would soon leave.

When half a month passed, He Song still hadn’t left, and the black-robed Golden Elixir thought that he would definitely leave after twenty days, right?

When twenty days passed, He Song still hadn’t left, and the mentality of the black-robed Golden Elixir began to become agitated.

Couldn’t the people of the Treasure Pavilion drive this person away?

Was the Treasure Pavilion a charity? To actually allow someone to live nearby the Pavilion all the time?

Now, a month’s time had quietly passed by.

When the tracking mark’s remnants completely scattered today, one month later, and he could no longer control He Song’s movements.

The black-robed Golden Elixir crushed the teacup in his hand and smashed the square table in front of him.

At this moment, if He Song was standing in front of him, he would surely search He Song’s soul without hesitation, and then extract his spirit for refining as a warning to others.

Unfortunately.

At the moment, He Song was still in the residence arranged for him by the Treasure Pavilion, continuing to refine the Green Jade Leaf, not knowing what had happened outside.

Back when He Song’s cultivation was only at the Foundation Establishment Realm, when he was still an Elder of the Thick Earth Sect, he had once hidden himself in the Thick Earth Sect’s mountain gate to avoid being pursued by others and stayed there for a full two months before leaving.

Now, knowing that he might have been targeted by a Golden Elixir Master, and that the other party might have left a tracking mark on him.

How could He Song hastily leave this place, leave this Cloud State Mansion?

According to He Song’s thoughts.

At least one, or even two months, would have to pass before he could leave.

After all, he also had the Spirit Exploration Secret Skill, a tracking secret method.

After casting the Spirit Exploration Secret Skill, the tracking marks can still sense the movement of the opponent within a month after the mark has been removed.

As for avoiding that Golden Elixir Master having such a method, He Song made an early decision in his heart.

At the very least, he would leave after a month, or even two months.

Only in this way could he completely get rid of the black-robed Golden Elixir and avoid a lot of trouble.

During this month, He Song kept refining the Green Jade Leaf, and his control over the Green Jade Leaf was getting stronger and stronger.
