Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 872: Chapter 638: Golden Armor Guards_1

Xiao Qing had herself, plus a puppet that could match a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator at her side.

Perhaps Xiao Qing would only need to invite one or, at most, two Foundation Establishment True Persons to complete the encirclement and annihilation of her enemies.@@novelbin@@

The savings from this, for a Foundation Establishment True Person, were also quite significant.

Besides that.

If Xiao Qing were to encounter her enemies while traveling in the future,

having such a powerful Golden Armor Guard that could match a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator at her side would certainly make her much safer.

Even if there were a whole four, or even more, Foundation Establishment True Persons joining the hunt.

As long as the number of Foundation Establishment True Persons did not exceed eight,

with such a Golden Armor Guard at her side, Xiao Qing would surely turn danger into safety.

Moreover.

Having such a powerful Golden Armor Guard at her side,

wherever Xiao Qing went in the future, she could regard it as part of her own foundation and strength.

With such a Golden Armor Guard at her side, what would other cultivators think when they saw Xiao Qing?

And how should those cultivators who met Xiao Qing and saw the conspicuously powerful Golden Armor Guard by her side treat her?

All these benefits, whether overt or covert,

in He Song’s view, were truly irresistible to Xiao Qing.

After all, by simply accepting the Golden Armor Guard He Song was now offering, all of these benefits would be within easy reach.

But if she didn’t accept,

all of these benefits would also dissipate like bubbles, fleeting and intangible.

However, the final decision

still depended on Xiao Qing’s own thoughts.

After all, being a member of Treasure Pavilion, her status was not the same as that of ordinary loose cultivators.

In fact, she had a slight advantage even compared to disciples of Nascent Soul Upper Sects.

With such status, persuading her to willingly pass on messages continuously was not an easy task.

And He Song, indeed, needed someone who could allow him to cultivate in seclusion in Luo Feng Province with more peace of mind.

This was the true reason He Song was willing to offer the Golden Armor Guard.

“Young friend, you worry too much,”

“I am quite familiar with the other two Golden Core Pavilion Masters of Treasure Pavilion elsewhere, and I am not interested in the affairs of the Pavilion here.”

“However, I will take the reward.”

“This object is a puppet I obtained from inside a Golden Elixir Cave Mansion.”

“It is very powerful, its strength is comparable to a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator.”

“The preciousness of this item, for a Foundation Establishment cultivator, is indeed not bad.”

“But for me, it is of no other use.”

“Now that you do not wish for any other reward, I hope, young friend, that you will accept this puppet.”

“With this puppet by your side, you should be able to turn danger into safety whether you face crises or other adversities in the future.”

“Thus, you will be able to pass messages to me more effectively, without suddenly losing contact.”

“What do you think, young friend?”

Although He Song had already determined in his heart that Xiao Qing would not refuse the Golden Armor Guard once he offered it,

he did not reveal any other intentions.

Instead, he spoke as if between friends, framing the reward he was offering as something to help Xiao Qing pass messages to him more effectively.

In this way, the puppet that He Song was now taking out changed its nature from a straightforward reward to a gift.

Moreover, it was a gift that Xiao Qing could use to greatly enhance her own strength.

Of course, faced with such an unexpected gift,

both mortals and cultivators would inevitably be wary.

He Song was well aware of this fact.

However, when the unexpected gift was something completely irresistible, with immense use for oneself,

anyone, be they mortal or cultivator,

would begin to subtly convince themselves as the gift appeared before them.

Isn’t it just a gift?

Accepting it is just that, accepting.

In the end, the task I am agreeing to is no big deal.

Although the gift is extremely precious,

it is of great use to me and significantly enhances my own strength.

At worst,

should any change arise in the future, I would simply return the item.

I could just give a substantial compensation at that time.

By then, I would still be able to walk away unscathed.

Moreover, as a Golden Elixir Master, He Song most likely wouldn’t use this to deceive me.

As a Golden Elixir Master, he cares about his reputation.

Inducing a Foundation Establishment cultivator with such perseverance, only to renege later,

would deal a great blow to He Song’s reputation if word got out.

Apart from that, He Song’s offering of the Golden Armor Guard might indeed be, as he said, merely to ensure effective communication of messages.

These thoughts would emerge in Xiao Qing’s mind after hearing He Song’s words and seeing the Golden Armor Guard.

And once these thoughts began taking hold, accepting the item and agreeing to He Song’s request would become the only option for Xiao Qing.

Even if the idea was just taking root in her heart at the beginning,

when her attention was increasingly captured by the Golden Armor Guard beside He Song, and she quickly realized how greatly accepting it would benefit her,
