Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 542: Chapter 473: The Dream of Foundation Establishment _2

Upon hearing He Song’s voice, An Ning’s heart tightened, and she blurted out subconsciously.

“Sir, I am already fifty-seven years old this year…”

Listening to the crisp voice in his ear, He Song nodded thoughtfully.

Just like Su Qian, An Ning was also a cultivator. Even though she was already fifty-seven, her appearance remained as youthful and charming as a twenty-eight-year-old girl.

However, thinking about this caused He Song to sigh for Su Qian’s dying request.

In his opinion-

When Su Qian left this letter before dying, there was still a bit of gambling involved.

She gambled that He Song would find out about her death before An Ning turned sixty and personally come to investigate.

If she won the gamble, as it is now-

He Song’s guilt would be triggered, making him promise to fulfill her request and give An Ning a chance to step into Foundation Establishment stage.

But if she lost the gamble and He Song did not arrive before An Ning turned sixty.

Nothing would have happened.

Although He Song might make some other compensation, the chances of An Ning entering the Foundation Establishment Realm would naturally be very slim.

Even more so, the communication between An Ning and He Song would be severed after Su Qian’s death, and her dying wish would have no one to fulfill.

After all, An Ning was not Su Qian. The connection between her and He Song only came about through Su Qian, and unlike their acquaintance at the Spirit Skill Pavilion in Flying Cloud Immortal Mansion, it was not so coincidental.

If An Ning were to die like this, the chances of He Song agreeing to her request to give a Foundation Establishment Elixir to her successors would be very low.

This was also the reason behind He Song’s sigh.

For a cultivator with such a low cultivation base as Su Qian, even gambling had to be done cautiously.

After sighing, He Song’s gaze softened as he looked at An Ning in front of him.

“Fifty-seven is not late.”

“Get your things, and then take me to where the Lin family’s members are.”

“We can’t stay here long. If you want to take your people from An Family, you can send a message earlier and have them gather with the Li Family’s members.”

“By then, I’ll take you all away from here together.”

“So that your people from An Family can avoid this disaster.”

After giving instructions, He Song fell silent and signaled An Ning to pack up her belongings and prepare to leave with him.

Upon hearing He Song’s words, An Ning’s face instantly brightened with joy.

After expressing her happiness, she respectfully bowed to He Song and went to prepare their departure.

After An Ning left-

He Song’s thoughts turned, and he began to ponder how to find a Foundation Establishment Elixir.

After considering Su Qian’s dying wish, He Song decided it was worth trying.

Now, He Song’s cultivation had reached the Golden Core Realm.

For him, obtaining a Foundation Establishment Elixir was not considered rare, unlike those in the Qi Refining stage or the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Even back when He Song was in the Qi Refining stage, he didn’t think Foundation Establishment Elixirs were scarce.

You must know-

Even in Thick Earth Sect, any random Qi Refining disciple or Foundation Establishment elder could exchange for a Foundation Establishment Elixir from the sect treasury.

Although it required a considerable amount of spirit stones, it was affordable for the sect disciples.

Under such circumstances, it was no difficult task for He Song, who was now in the Golden Elixir Early Stage to obtain a Foundation Establishment Elixir.

However, since He Song had already left the Thick Earth Sect and had not yet joined another one-

It became impossible for him to obtain a Foundation Establishment Elixir from a sect treasury.

Unable to obtain a Foundation Establishment Elixir from a sect treasury, He Song was slightly worried about finding one.

Although Meng Guan and Wei Fan were both in Sun Faction and could get a Foundation Establishment Elixir for He Song if asked, it was something He Song hesitated to trouble them for.

Now, all three of them were at the Golden Core Realm.

It was just a small matter, and He Song wasn’t eager to bother his two good friends.

If He Song asked them for help just because of a Foundation Establishment Elixir, Meng Guan and Wei Fan might start to doubt his current situation.

Maybe, they would continue to persuade He Song to join the Sun Faction in their following interactions.

In that case, at least he would never lack Foundation Establishment Elixirs.

To avoid such a situation, He Song was really unwilling to do this in his heart.

What about seeking help from others?

He Song didn’t have many friends with low cultivation outside.

Moreover, if their cultivation was too low, they wouldn’t be able to find Foundation Establishment Elixirs.

Naturally, it would be even less likely for him to ask them.

Except for Meng Guan and Wei Fan.

Master Luo Jing’s cultivation level was also in the Golden Core Realm now.

If he sought her help just for a Foundation Establishment Elixir, she might look down on He Song and think he couldn’t accomplish big things.

After all, just a single Foundation Establishment Elixir, in her eyes, was not a difficult task for He Song, who had already reached the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection.

Getting her, a Golden Elixir Master, involved in such a small matter would be making a mountain out of a molehill.

Therefore, after some careful thought, He Song finally sighed in his heart.

“Forget it, since it’s extremely difficult to find a Foundation Establishment Elixir in Immortal City, I shall go to the state mansions of the various Immortal States instead.”

“This time, I’ll go directly to the State Mansion of Green Moon State.”

“I haven’t paid attention to it before, and I wonder if Foundation Establishment Elixirs are sold in these Immortal State Mansions.”

“I think, there should be.”

“An Immortal State Mansion is much larger than Immortal City after all.”

“Foundation Establishment Elixirs should be abundant in Immortal State Mansions.”

Heaving a sigh in his heart, He Song quickly collected his thoughts and calmly waited for An Ning to pack her things.

As for the issue of the Foundation Establishment Elixir,

he would deal with it later.

An Ning was only fifty-seven years old this year, and there were still more than two and a half years left before she turned sixty.

With these two and a half years, He Song believed it wouldn’t be difficult to obtain a Foundation Establishment Elixir.

With that in mind, He Song felt more at ease and stopped thinking about the Foundation Establishment Elixir.

Soon.

An Ning finished packing her things and left the courtyard with He Song.

As He Song told her that they probably wouldn’t be coming back in the future, An Ning packed her things very carefully.

She put everything she deemed useful into her storage bag.

He Song didn’t mind this and didn’t hurry her, just silently waiting for her to finish packing before leaving with her.

However, when the two of them arrived outside the Flying Cloud Immortal Mansion,

He Song and An Ning each looked back and took one last glance at the huge Flying Cloud Immortal Mansion in front of them.

They both knew that

once they left,

they probably wouldn’t return to this place again.

Thus, this brief stop before leaving became their only lasting memory of this place.

After committing every detail of the Flying Cloud Immortal Mansion to memory, He Song had a thought, and a top-grade artifact flying boat instantly appeared before the two of them.

This top-grade artifact flying boat was forged by He Song himself.

Now, He Song had become an artifact refining master who could forge top-grade artifacts.

Moreover, since the lowest-grade spirit artifact flying boat that he obtained from Master Yin Yue’s storage pouch was her property and she was a Golden Elixir Elder of the Sun Faction,

He Song decided to change its appearance after his artifact refining skills reached the point where he could forge the lowest grade spirit artifacts.

That way, even if He Song operated that lower-grade spirit artifact flying boat outside, the Golden Elixir cultivators of the Sun Faction wouldn’t recognize it.

Before this, He Song had been worried about being recognized whenever he operated the lower-grade spirit artifact flying boat.

Thus, he deliberately crafted a brand-new top-grade artifact flying boat, made by his own hands, as a temporary replacement.

With this, he wouldn’t have to worry about the members of the Sun Faction recognizing the origin of the boat when he operated the lower-grade spirit artifact flying boat outside.
