Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

F{h*F5#*LjChapter 639 Water Spirit Essence_2

“`

And he indicated that she could refine the Golden Armor Guard at any time.

Faced with such a puppet, whose strength was even greater than her own and could even kill her,

Xiao Qing, although she was a monk from the Jubao Pavilion and was considered widely knowledgeable,

was deeply stirred the first time she realized that she could possess those powerful treasures that she had only seen in the vaults of the Jubao Pavilion.

Her emotions were indeed much agitated.

Before this,

Xiao Qing had not been a stranger to treasures like the Golden Armor Guard before her.

However, those treasures had all been in the vaults of the Jubao Pavilion.

Or they had been purchased by cultivators, passing through her hands only temporarily.

But now,

a powerful Golden Armor Guard, matching a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator in strength, had appeared before her.

And it already completely belonged to her.

In such a situation, Xiao Qing’s attitude towards the Golden Armor Guard before her naturally underwent a tremendous change.

The treasures she had seen before, she could only look at.

But now, she could actually own such a powerful and profoundly precious puppet.

She had fantasized about such a scene many times before.

But she had never expected that under such circumstances, she would actually realize her past dreams.

Thoughts surged in her heart.

Ideas flooded Xiao Qing’s mind.

However, having grown up in the Jubao Pavilion, she had seen a lot and was worldly-wise.

Therefore, although Xiao Qing was moved, she did not lose her rationality.

After a brief period of daydreaming, Xiao Qing quickly gathered her thoughts.

Then, she put the Golden Armor Guard in front of her into her storage bag.

She did not intend to refine this Golden Armor Guard here.

Even though He Song had indicated that she could refine the Golden Armor Guard at any time,

for Xiao Qing, who was currently serving as He Song’s maid, it was not her place to leave her post without permission.

At this moment, her duty was to stand by He Song’s side and continue to facilitate the auction for him.

Although the two had already reached an agreement,

their relationship had become much less distant because of the earlier conversation than when they had first met.

But even so, as a person from the Jubao Pavilion, Xiao Qing’s dedication remained.

She truly could not bring herself to abandon her post.

And because of this,

when He Song began to focus on the auction before him,

Xiao Qing stood steadfastly by his side.

At the same time, Xiao Qing’s voice would occasionally reach He Song’s ears.

It was the voice of Xiao Qing answering He Song’s questions about items that interested him by his side.

In this way,

time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, the items before He Song were being replaced one by one.

And He Song was repeatedly making purchases, adding item after item to his bag.

Among them, He Song spent a full 170,000 mid-grade spirit stones to successfully bid on the Golden Core of a cultivator that had appeared unexpectedly at the auction.

Also, he spent tens of thousands of mid-grade spirit stones to purchase the only Golden Core Body Refining Skill available at the auction.

In addition, He Song also spent some spirit stones to acquire some other items of interest to him, though they were not highly valuable.

When these items all entered He Song’s storage bag,

the outside world’s discussion about He Song bidding on these items did not increase much.

This was a stark contrast to the last time He Song attended an auction.

Last time.

“`

He Song concealed his cultivation level, hiding it within the borders of Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, and blended in among the group of Foundation Establishment True Persons.

As a result, whenever He Song called out a bid, especially since he was bidding on Golden Core items each time, he attracted far more gazes and whispers than he did on this occasion.

He Song still remembers how much commotion he caused when he successfully bid for the Golden Core Puppet Refining Method he needed at that time.

Back then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he made a Golden Elixir Master give up bidding.

However, the cultivation level he revealed was merely at the Foundation Establishment Realm.

With such a Foundation Establishment facing off against a Golden Core and ultimately prevailing, the facade was indeed compelling.

The auction house was abuzz with voices that day.

Countless eyes were fixed on He Song’s private room for a prolonged period.

It wasn’t until He Song made another move, acquiring an occasional Golden Core of a cultivator that appeared at that auction, that the situation finally began to recede.

At that auction, the wealth He Song displayed had already far exceeded the scope of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

And naturally, his true cultivation level also became well-known among the cultivators who participated in the auction.@@novelbin@@

Having been able to produce so many spirit stones, even though He Song was still in a Foundation Establishment room at the time, he must undoubtedly be a Golden Elixir Master.

With this speculation, the cultivators’ attention to He Song at the time subsequently decreased.

Until, at last.

It was just like today, when even though He Song spoke up multiple times, outsiders didn’t pay as much attention to He Song’s presence.

After all, the current He Song’s evident cultivation level was within the Golden Elixir Realm.

Being a Golden Elixir Master, repeatedly laying hands on various auction items was indeed seen as a very normal matter by other cultivators.

And when He Song found himself in such a situation, it also led to some realizations within his heart.

It seems.

If he needed to appear in such crowded occasions in the future and possibly attract great attention, it would be best not to conceal his cultivation level too much.

After all, a Golden Elixir Master, even if they extensively bid for treasures at an auction, will generally go unnoticed by others.

However, if a Foundation Establishment True Person were not only bidding for the precious treasures of the Foundation Establishment Realm but also bidding for those of the Golden Elixir Realm.

The attention drawn would certainly be much greater.

In such a case, the likelihood of He Song’s identity being discovered would naturally increase.

By then, the act of hiding his cultivation level might very well contradict his original intentions.

With this thought crossing his mind, He Song felt more at ease about attending the auction with his cultivation level at the Golden Core Realm.

It seems that if he were to encounter such situations in the future, he could indeed handle them as he did this time.

Enlightened by this thought, He Song prepared to refine this idea further.

But the item now appearing before his eyes caused him to momentarily set aside his thoughts.

At this moment.

The auction item before He Song.

Was a Water Spirit Essence that he had once obtained from Fallen Snow True Monarch’s cave mansion within the Vast Wave Secret Realm.

Water Spirit Essence.

According to the records in the jade slip in the fallen snow True Monarch’s mansion,

this item could merge into a cultivator’s body after being refined with a special method, complementing the cultivator’s Spirit Root.

However, at most, it could only form a Spirit Root within one’s body with a cultivation speed comparable to that of three spirit root cultivators.

Moreover, this item was not limited to four spirits root cultivators.

But ordinary three spirit root cultivators, as well as Earth Spirit Root and Heavenly Spirit Root Cultivators, would disdain this item.

After all, they would rather cultivate with their own innate Spirit Roots than use this item to create a second, third, or, at best, a fourth Spirit Root with a cultivation speed only matching that of three spirit roots at most—or at least a Five Spirits Roots cultivator’s speed.

Using this item was completely superfluous and unnecessary.

Even worse, it could potentially cause irreversible damage to oneself.

In such a scenario, this Water Spirit Essence was naturally not considered a treasure in the Cultivation World.

And that was also why He Song had been able to obtain it previously, and why it had appeared at the current auction by chance.

To those geniuses with innate Spirit Roots of three spirit roots or higher, this item was utterly useless.

And those four spirits root cultivators who might use this item and take a chance were mostly unable to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm due to the limits of their Spirit Root qualifications.
