Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 717: Chapter 560 Trouble Comes Knocking_2

Otherwise, True Monarch Youyun probably wouldn’t have traded the item set by Master Luo Jing with He Song.

In such circumstances, He Song naturally needed to appear in his true appearance and with the aura of his cultivation level, which enabled him to trade successfully with True Monarch Youyun.

And for that very reason.

After He Song and True Monarch Youyun had completed their previous trade and exchanged the energies of their telepathic talismans.

If He Song were to exchange the energy of the telepathic talisman with True Monarch Youyun again, his identity would certainly be detected by True Monarch Youyun.

As a result, He Song’s identity would be utterly exposed.

Therefore, when True Monarch Youyun suddenly appeared outside his mansion, intending to request an audience,

He Song’s response to this matter was naturally somewhat complex.

At this moment, He Song had fallen into deep thought.

In his mind, he was frantically turning over ideas, pondering how to keep his identity hidden from True Monarch Youyun.

Meanwhile, one thought after another surfaced in He Song’s mind, only to be quickly dismissed by him.

Thus,

After a short while,

Just as True Monarch Youyun, standing outside He Song’s mansion and puzzled by the lack of any movement within, was about to act,

He Song’s figure appropriately appeared beside her at this moment.

However, He Song did not emerge from the mansion; instead, it seemed as if he was returning from the outside.

After arriving beside True Monarch Youyun, He Song offered an apology before leading her into his mansion.

Inside He Song’s mansion.

In the main hall,

He Song and True Monarch Youyun took their respective seats as host and guest, and He Song personally brewed tea, presenting a cup of Golden Elixir spirit tea to True Monarch Youyun.

As the fragrance of the Golden Elixir spirit tea began to spread around and after the two exchanged some greetings,

True Monarch Youyun also spoke up, slowly revealing the purpose of her visit.

According to True Monarch Youyun,

Her visit was actually meant to reassure He Song.

Treasure Pavilion would certainly bring the item He Song needed from the distant land within the span of a few months at most.

She assured He Song not to worry and to feel free to reside here in peace.

Furthermore, the other Golden Elixir Masters in Hu Prefecture held no ill will toward He Song.

If anything untoward happened during these months of waiting, Treasure Pavilion would not stand idly by.

In short,

True Monarch Youyun never mentioned wanting to build a friendship with He Song,

But her words always conveyed the message that with her presence, He Song need not worry about his safety.

If He Song were indeed a Golden Elixir Master new to this place,

He might feel an immediate fondness for Treasure Pavilion’s actions after hearing such words and enjoy a pleasant conversation with True Monarch Youyun.

After all, with True Monarch Youyun coming personally to speak this way, even for the sake of her previous assurances, He Song could not possibly bear to treat her coldly.

This approach could close the gap between them, making He Song less suspicious of why True Monarch Youyun had come knocking at his door,

And also unconsciously endear He Song to True Monarch Youyun, laying the groundwork for future friendship.

Moreover, it concealed True Monarch Youyun’s true purpose for the visit, preventing He Song from becoming wary.

These,

Were the real reasons True Monarch Youyun hid her true intentions and spoke of these matters to He Song.

It can be said,

That True Monarch Youyun, who grew up in Treasure Pavilion, was just as adept in the art of words as Master Luo Jing and Yun Jing,

Such skill in conveying multiple levels of meaning was not something ordinary people could easily express.

If it were someone else, hearing True Monarch Youyun speak like this, they would likely be moved by her sincere words and open their heart to her.

While not necessarily agreeing to any preposterous requests later on, their fondness for True Monarch Youyun would greatly increase at the very least.

Of course.

Such a statement, for He Song, was still somewhat lacking in effect.

He Song had long been aware of the true purpose behind True Monarch Youyun’s visit.

Naturally, he was also crystal clear about the various ins and outs of True Monarch Youyun’s words.

To He Song, everything True Monarch Youyun mentioned was merely a prelude to the forthcoming association between the two.

Beyond that, it was all just superfluous talk.

Things like ensuring He Song’s personal safety over the next several months.

Guarantees of securing the goods for He Song within that timeframe.

While He Song found these somewhat agreeable, having already been through such scenarios, he did not fully trust them.

He had no doubt that the Treasure Pavilion could deliver the goods he needed within a few months.

What he did not believe, however, was that the Treasure Pavilion would protect his personal safety during that time.

Now, He Song had reached the Golden Core Middle Stage.

With his current cultivation at the Golden Core Middle Stage, he was already quite safe within Hu Prefecture.

Why would he need the protection of the Treasure Pavilion?

Even if a Golden Elixir Master within Hu Prefecture had their sights set on He Song.

With his cultivation level, it would be impossible for them to succeed.

Therefore, aside from guaranteeing timely delivery, everything else True Monarch Youyun claimed was superfluous and solely meant to curry favor with He Song.

He Song was well aware of this but chose not to expose anything.

After all, he was currently a foreign Golden Elixir Master, merely staying in Hu Prefecture for a few months to acquire a certain item.

If he revealed too much and aroused suspicion in True Monarch Youyun, the consequences could outweigh the benefits.

In such circumstances, after some thought, He Song naturally assumed the demeanor of a visiting Golden Elixir Master and began to engage in pleasant conversation with True Monarch Youyun.

In subsequent dialogues, He Song thanked True Monarch Youyun profusely and conversed amicably with him.

Seeing this, True Monarch Youyun’s attitude toward He Song was also very good.

Both parties were extremely agreeable and intended to form a bond.

As such, their interaction became even more harmonious.

After a pleasant exchange, He Song and True Monarch Youyun each imparted their own telepathic talisman energy to each other, with True Monarch Youyun leaving satisfied.

And after True Monarch Youyun left contentedly.

He Song returned to the living room, now holding two Sound Transmission Amulets in his hand.

“Fortunately, within the Immortal State Mansion, Sound Transmission Amulets are not as rare as they are at the Immortal Pavilion in Immortal City.”

“In the past, it was only after joining the Thick Earth Sect that one could be issued a Sound Transmission Amulet by the Sect.”

“Now, after reaching the Golden Elixir Realm, they are easily obtainable.”

“In Immortal State, there are quite a few stores selling Sound Transmission Amulets.”

“This time, if not for the advancement in cultivation and being in the Immortal State Mansion, it would have indeed been touch and go.”

“Otherwise, not only would my identity have been at risk of exposure, but it would also have been exceedingly awkward.”

After comparing the two Sound Transmission Amulets he held and seeing no difference between them, He Song sighed.

He then hung his original Sound Transmission Amulet back at his waist and tucked the newly purchased one into his sleeve.

Having done all this, He Song finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a slight smile flashed across his face.

Prior to this.

Before inviting True Monarch Youyun into his mansion, He Song had already thought of this strategy.

Since his original Sound Transmission Amulet had already been exchanged with True Monarch Youyun, continuing the exchange could lead to the exposure of his identity.

Therefore, by purchasing a new Sound Transmission Amulet and leaving another trace of his energy within, he could deceive even the most perceptive.

In this way, when he exchanged telepathic talisman energy with True Monarch Youyun again, his identity would not be exposed.

After all, He Song’s main concern was that True Monarch Youyun might suddenly detect his true identity during the exchange of Sound Transmission Amulet energy.

By using an entirely different Sound Transmission Amulet, which still contained his energy, albeit slightly altered by He Song,

Even if True Monarch Youyun was a Golden Elixir Master, he would never discern the true nature of the ruse.
