Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 869: Chapter 636: Eliminating the Roots_2

They naturally knew that for a cultivator with a Spirit Root to emerge from among ordinary mortal families, it was extremely difficult.

Moreover, even if one was incredibly lucky and indeed produced a cultivator,

the quality of their Spirit Root would likely be unpredictable.

In the Cultivation World, Five-elemental Root Cultivators were the most common, followed by those with four spiritual roots. As for those with three spirit roots, not to mention those even higher such as the Earth Spirit Root and Heavenly Spirit Roots, they were naturally exceedingly rare.

Five-elemental Root Cultivators and four spiritual root cultivators comprised the vast majority in the Cultivation World.

In such a scenario, even if a cultivator with a Spirit Root did appear from among these ordinary families,

the quality of their Spirit Root would probably not be very high.

Such cultivators, wishing to find a Foundation Establishment True Person or a senior Qi Refining cultivator to take revenge,

would find it extremely difficult.

Without the support of resources, even four spiritual root cultivators were mostly doomed to remain stuck in the Qi Refining stage.

And cultivators who had already been involved in feuds and killings in the Cultivation World naturally also had high cultivation levels.

Cultivators with four spiritual roots, or even those with five,

would likely take who knows how many years to cultivate to the level where they could seek revenge.

Over such a long period, it was highly possible for many unforeseen changes to occur.

Perhaps,

they wouldn’t even live to see the day they grew strong enough to seek revenge, as the cultivator looking for revenge might have already died at the hands of another.

Perhaps,

they wouldn’t even wait for the cultivator intent on revenge, because they might have already died somewhere themselves.

Or perhaps,

the other party never even harbored the notion of seeking revenge.

In such circumstances, instead of expending such effort to search for an ordinary family in the mortal world and exterminate them,

it would be better to simply ignore them, as it was highly unlikely that any complications would arise.

Of course,

aside from that, the slain cultivator might have truly close friends who cared about him.

If such people existed,

upon learning of their friend’s death, they would certainly seek revenge.

But in the cutthroat Cultivation World, betrayals were frequent.

While avenging a friend’s death by slaying the perpetrator wasn’t unheard of, it was actually a low-probability event.

If one were to worry about such possibilities, why bother slaying that person in the first place?

Naturally, in the Cultivation World, the idea of lying in wait for the friends of a slain cultivator at their family’s location was also basically something no one would do.

In Xiao Qing’s own heart,

she felt she had done almost everything to perfection.

Whether it was being ganged up on, annihilating a family, or eradicating their mortal branches,

she had done one of the best jobs among the cases she was aware of.

Her methods were in fact learned from those she had heard about from the outside world over the years.

Someone had done it before.@@novelbin@@

She thought it made sense,

and naturally, she used it herself.

However, she had not delved deeper into the matter of thoroughly uprooting her adversaries.

And it was precisely because of this,

that when she suddenly heard what He Song had to say,

she was immediately greatly shocked by the two methods of thorough extermination he mentioned.

Turns out,

there was such an approach to completely cutting down the roots of a problem.

If she acted as He Song had suggested,

it would not only allow her to eradicate all the close friends of her enemy in one go,

but also potentially allow her to reap some benefits from the ruins of the family she was targeting.

What if, while she was lying in wait, some remnants emerged from the rubble?

If she was still there at that time, she could naturally eliminate all those hidden remnants in one fell swoop.

As such thoughts flashed through her mind, the light in Xiao Qing’s eyes gradually brightened at that moment.

Right now,

Xiao Qing even felt,

that after being enlightened by He Song’s words,

“If I were to take action in the future, to exterminate an entire family as I just did, I would surely be able to do it better than before.”

“At the very least, the friends of my enemy, as well as their entire family, would be completely annihilated without sparing a single one.”

With this thought in mind, Xiao Qing’s gaze turned to He Song at her side.

The expression in her eyes at this moment became extremely grateful.”

“Xiao Qing thanks the Master for your guidance.”

“The Master’s instruction this time has truly been of infinite benefit to Xiao Qing.”

“From now on, as I navigate the world of cultivating immortality, I fear Xiao Qing will be able to proceed much more smoothly.”

“However, I have yet to ask for the Master’s name, and I wonder if the Master might share it.”

“Knowing the Master’s name would give Xiao Qing something to cling to in her heart.”

“If Xiao Qing manages to break through to the Golden Core Realm in the future, perhaps I might also be able to repay the Master in some small way.”

Bowing respectfully to He Song, Xiao Qing looked at him with eyes now filled with gratitude.

With what He Song had said, from now on, whether she was exterminating a family or uprooting them completely, she would be able to do a better job than before.”

As a result, there might be fewer vendettas for her to face in the future.”

It could be said.

Although He Song had merely spoken casually, expressing his views on the matter.”

In Xiao Qing’s eyes, He Song was offering her guidance.”

Being instructed by someone naturally means one should be grateful and plan to reciprocate.”

And for this reason, Xiao Qing spoke up, both to thank He Song for his instruction and to inquire about his dharma title, preparing to repay him later.”

As for now.

In the presence of He Song, a Golden Elixir Master, Xiao Qing, being at the Foundation Establishment stage, feared she had nothing with which to repay him.”

As Xiao Qing spoke up.

Originally pondering whether or not to bestow a favor upon the Xiao Qing before him, to make her feel grateful.”

He Song, who would have someone familiar to inquire of if anything came up in this place.

Showed a slight look of surprise at this moment.”

He Song truly hadn’t expected

that his casual sharing of his thoughts.

would lead to Xiao Qing’s intense gratitude.”

However, although He Song was surprised, he did not show it.”

Upon hearing her words, he simply nodded slightly to the Xiao Qing before him.”

“This is but a trivial matter, not worthy of such thanks.”

“However, since you are so sincere, I will naturally fulfill your wish.”

“My dharma title is Xuan Gui.”

“I do not usually reside in the state mansion of Smoke-Cloud State.”

“But if, as today, something I desire appears at the auction, I will naturally come for it.”

“There’s no need for you to dwell on the matter of repayment.”

“If you truly wish to, you could periodically pass along various pieces of information about the surrounding area to me.”

“For example, matters relating to Golden Elixir Masters, demonic beasts, and what has been happening around.”

“You could relay such information to me.”

“What do you think of this proposition?”

“Rest assured, if you agree to this, I will not treat you unfairly.”

“Moreover, I will not make things difficult for you regarding the affairs inside the Treasure Pavilion.”

With his gaze sweeping over Xiao Qing, who was respectfully bowing before him, He Song was struck with the idea to establish a channel for information right here.”

Based on He Song’s understanding of Xiao Qing.

With Xiao Qing’s temperament, she should not face any dangers within the state mansion of Smoke-Cloud State.”

Even if she did encounter danger,

Xiao Qing should be capable of dealing with it.”

Additionally, Xiao Qing belongs to the Treasure Pavilion.

Outsiders dare not offend lightly.”

In such circumstances, if he could make Xiao Qing, like An Ning, pass on messages about the surroundings to him.”

In the future, he would not have to find out about auction events from others right as they were about to begin—as had happened this time when he unexpectedly learned that a partially completed Gold Core Puppet was appearing.”

At the same time, to alleviate any concerns in Xiao Qing’s mind, He Song directly expressed his lack of interest in the internal affairs of the Treasure Pavilion.”

He Song, familiar with both Luo Jing and Yun Jing, knew quite a lot about the internal affairs of the Treasure Pavilion.”

Naturally, there was no need to glean further information from Xiao Qing.”

This was why He Song stated his stance openly and directly.”
