 Chapter 418 - True Lord Xingyan

Otherwise, with the behavior that he had just swept the entire Jindan Cave with his divine sense, I'm afraid that someone would have already stepped in to stop him.

Everything was within He Song's expectations.

Although He Song seemed to have entered the Jindan Cave directly, he was not too cautious.

But in fact, there was the Heavenly Dipper Divine Thunder Formation guarding the outside, plus He Song himself was an early Jindan cultivator, He Song's own safety was definitely guaranteed.

Even if this Jindan Defense Formation really had some Jindan True Lord's backhand left behind, it could not help He Song.

After all, Meng Guan and Wei Fan had stayed outside this Jindan cave for more than five years.

They had utilized such a long period of time to wear down the formation here, and if there was someone inside the formation, I'm afraid that the two of them would have already died.

As long as there was no Jindan True Lord surviving in this Jindan Defense Formation, then He Song, who was also a Jindan True Lord, naturally did not need to worry about the backhand left behind by another Jindan True Lord.

In the case of the same Jindan, it was extremely difficult to obtain a backhand that could threaten a cultivator of the same rank.

Moreover, in a situation where the person himself was dead and had no one to manipulate, the backhand that was still able to threaten a Jindan True Lord was surely few and far between.

At the very least, in this Jindan Cave Mansion that couldn't even put up a concealment array, there would definitely not be one.

And it was precisely because he saw through this point that He Song, under the premise of having the Heavenly Dipper Divine Thunder Formation guarding him and his own strength not being weak, would directly enter this Jindan Cave Mansion and begin to casually explore it.

However, although it was unlikely that anything that could threaten He Song existed within this Jindan cave.

However, it was feared that something that threatened the Foundation Establishment Great Circle was still there.

This was also the reason why He Song had entered this Jindan Cave Mansion in advance and checked out the spirit field and medicine garden, as well as the other buildings within the cave.

To clear some obstacles for his two best friends, without spending too much effort, He Song was still willing to do it casually.

And after completely removing those four golden-armored guards from the cave mansion.

He Song swept his eyes over the spiritual field and medicinal garden in the cave.

In the spiritual field here, what is planted is a kind of spiritual rice that He Song has never seen before.

However, looking at the rich spiritual qi inside, He Song understood that this was a kind of Jindan spiritual rice that he didn't know before.

I just don't know, this spiritual rice is better than the white jade beads, which one is better.

After the thought flashed through his mind, He Song hesitated a little, and finally moved his mind to take some of the spiritual rice scattered in the spiritual field.

After roughly taking thousands of pounds of spiritual rice, he stopped his hand.

Thousands of pounds of spiritual rice had arrived, but the spiritual field in front of him seemed to be the same as before.

In this regard, He Song's face flickered with satisfaction.

This spiritual rice, He Song had never seen before.

As a Jindan True Lord, He Song naturally wanted to see how this kind of spiritual rice compared to the White Jade Pearl.

If it was better than the White Jade Pearl, then this spiritual rice could be used as his staple food in the future.

The thousands of kilograms of spiritual rice in their hands can naturally become rice seed for future planting.

If it was worse than the White Jade Bead, the thousands of pounds of spiritual rice in one's hand wouldn't be so bad that Meng Guan and Wei Fan, who had subsequently entered this place, would be able to detect it.

In this way, the best of both worlds.

He did not take too many things in the cave, but was able to gain something, not to return without success.

And Meng Guan and Wei Fan's harvest would not be reduced by their own arrival.

After all, He Song had not come here to snatch the chances of his two good friends, but to deliver the Gold Condensation Dan for the two of them.

Such a precious Gold Condensation Dan was ready to be delivered.

It wasn't too much of a stretch to take some worthless Spirit Rice with him, as well as some things that didn't affect the chance of the two of them, right?

After taking away thousands of pounds of spiritual rice from the spiritual field within the cave, He Song's gaze also looked towards the medicinal garden within the cave.

Within the medicinal garden, there were many medicines.

Some of the herbs that required harsh conditions had long since withered away.

Some of the herbs that didn't require much care, on the other hand, were alive and well within it.

He Song moved his feet lightly and soon arrived in one of the medicinal gardens.

Floating in the air above the medicinal garden, He Song's eyes swept over the many spiritual herbs below, and when he saw the appearance of these spiritual herbs and realized that the years of these spiritual herbs were not too high, his heart was also moved.

Although there are precious medicines among these medicines, their degree of preciousness is far from being comparable to the medicines planted by the Silver Moon True Lord.

Even in the eyes of today's He Song, he only felt that these spirit medicines did not have much value.

Even with He Song's eyesight, he could see that the vintage of these pills was not high, and even the highest vintage was only a few decades old.

A few decades of age was not enough to produce a qualitative change in the medicinal effects of these pills.

It must be that these medicinal herbs were planted by the owner of this place before he died, and they were not planted here long ago.

With this speculation flashing through his mind, He Song also had a slight understanding of this cave.

Immediately after, when He Song soon visited several other medicinal gardens, he realized that the medicinal herbs in these medicinal gardens were almost the same as the first medicinal garden he saw.

He Song then became even more certain of the conjecture in his heart.

I am afraid.

When the owner of this place was about to reach the end of his lifespan, or was about to die, he had also gone on a spending spree.

He might have wanted to purchase the Life Extension Pill.

It was also possible that he wanted to leave more for his descendants.

  It was also possible that he didn't want to leave too many good things for the others who entered his cave.

The spiritual rice in the spiritual field here, as well as the spiritual medicines in the medicinal garden, I'm afraid that they were all randomly planted after spending a game.

  The conjecture in his heart made He Song quickly lose his mind to continue wandering in the spiritual field and the medicinal garden.

  He did not take away any of the medicinal herbs in the medicinal garden.

  Nowadays, He Song was not too interested in these pills.

  It would be better to leave it to Meng Guan and Wei Fan.

  The two of them thought that they should be very satisfied with the harvest.

  Thinking of this, He Song's gaze looked towards the distance, the houses on the periphery of the spiritual field and medicinal garden.

  The figure also quickly headed towards these houses.

  Under He Song's divine sense scanning.

  These houses were the most precious places in this cave.

  It was just like True Lord Silvermoon's cave mansion.

  In this cave mansion, there was also a parlor, a quiet room used for seclusion, and a place to hide books, only there was no alchemy room and weaponry room, and there was an additional talisman making room.

  These places.

  That was where the real chance was.

  Spiritual fields and medicinal gardens are nothing more than appetizers.

  The first place He Song entered was naturally the meeting room.

  This place was the closest house to the cave entrance.

  Inside the parlor, on top of the ancient furniture, as in the previous Silver Moon True Lord's parlor, all of it was covered in dust.

  If not for the fact that He Song was floating in, I'm afraid that just a light kick would be able to make the dust in the parlor spread out.

  In this regard, He Song had been mentally prepared, and had also long ago utilized his own divine sense to investigate the meeting room.

  The reason why he wanted to enter it.

  It was only because he wanted to take a look at the parlor with his own eyes, to see the place where a Jindan True Lord used to treat his guests.

  There was nothing else in the parlor.

  After He Song left the parlor, he only took away a small jade bead from above its beams.

  This jade bead was discovered by chance by He Song and was placed above the beams of the parlor, not knowing what it was.

  When He Song saw it was odd, he casually put it into his storage bag.

  It was also considered that he did not come to this parlor for nothing.

  Leaving the parlor.

  He Song's figure soon continued to float into the second building.

  This place.

  It was a talisman making room.

  As a talisman master, although He Song hadn't studied the talisman path for a long time because he needed to consolidate his cultivation and break through the realm.

  However, his vision was not low.

  After entering the talisman making room, He Song swept his eyes and everything around him was immediately reflected in his eyes.

  At the same time, everything within the talisman making room also made He Song's heart count.   

  This talisman making room was a high specification talisman making room.

  According to He Song's estimation, judging from the various utensils prepared in this talisman making room, this talisman making room was at least capable of drawing top-grade Foundation Establishment Spirit Talismans.

  Even the drawing of an extreme grade Foundation Establishment Spirit Symbol would be possible.

  However, in that case, it would require the talisman master himself to have an extremely deep understanding of the talisman path, and to be able to draw extreme grade Foundation Establishment Spirit Symbols with certainty.

  As for the higher Jindan spirit talismans.

  With the various utensils stored in this talisman making room, I'm afraid that they could not be drawn yet.

  In this regard, He Song sighed in his heart.

  There was also a hint of speculation about the identity of the owner of this place.

  However, guessing was guessing, He Song quickly put aside the thoughts in his heart and carefully searched in this talisman making room.

  Unfortunately.

  There was nothing in the talisman making room that He Song could see eye to eye with.

  Those talisman making tools that were better than the ones He Song had on him were also not in He Song's eyes.

  Although these things were precious, they were not that high in terms of their value.

  At least, in the eyes of He Song, whose cultivation had already reached the early Jindan stage, it wasn't high.

  That being the case.

  Instead of risking being discovered and taking them away.

  It would be better to leave them to Meng Guan and Wei Fan.

  In this way, it would also enable them to gain more profit, and also make their presence less easily detected by the duo.

  With such thoughts.

  In the end.

  He Song left the Talisman Making Room with nothing to show for it.

  He entered the third building.

  This place was a place where books were hidden.

  Above the doorway was a plaque with three large words clearly visible.

  "Pavilion of Strange Tales."

  He Song's gaze swept over the three big characters of the Pavilion of Strange Tales, and in his heart, he had a hint of a guess as to the books collected in the Pavilion of Strange Tales.

  I'm afraid that most of the books hidden in this building should be some strange anecdotes, right?

  Otherwise, the owner of this cave would not have written down the three words "Pavilion of Strange Tales".

  Just that, the anecdotes in the Immortal Cultivation World, the records of which wouldn't be related to some powerful cultivators, right?

  With speculation in his heart, He Song took a step in.

  He soon entered the Pavilion of Strange Tales.

  Inside the Pavilion of Strange Tales.

  Rows and rows of bookshelves were neatly placed in it.

  On top of the rows of bookshelves, there were no paper books or bamboo bone carvings, instead, there was only a jade slip on display.

  It seems that due to the fact that jade slips can record too much information, within the Pavilion of Strange Wonders, there are not many jade slips displayed on the bookshelves.

  He Song swept through with a glance and only found a dozen jade slips.

  In this regard, He Song's mind moved, after offering the Star Meteor Bead to protect himself firmly, and maneuvered the Big Dipper Divine Thunder Formation to guard himself.

  Only then did he probe out his divine sense and began to read the dozen jade slips in front of him one by one.

  A moment later.

  He Song opened his eyes and removed the protection of the Big Dipper Divine Thunder Formation as well as the protection of the Star Meteor Bead.

  At the same time, He Song had a great deal of knowledge in his heart about the owner of this cave.

  Among the dozen or so jade slips.

  The vast majority of them were indeed just records of anecdotes.

  However, one of the jade slips also had the owner's life engraved in it.

  Although it was only words, He Song also learned about the life of a Jindan True Lord from it.

  The owner of this place.

  Name is Wu Yan.

  Dharma name Xingyan True Monarch.

  Unlike most Jindan True Monarchs.

  This Star Rock True Monarch was not born into a great power from birth.

  On the contrary.

  He was similar to He Song in that he came from a loose cultivator and joined a Jindan power after he was lucky enough to build his foundation.

However, this Jindan power did not place as many restrictions on an outsider loose cultivator like him as the Thick Earth Sect did.

  On the contrary, the Jindan power he joined was located in the territory of the Ziyun Sect, the upper sect of the Yuanyin Sect.

  It was also quite like the Purple Cloud Sect.

  Most of the cultivators in the sect, like the people of the Purple Cloud Sect, were drunk on cultivation and were not too interested in the outside world.

  Therefore, for this kind of foreign casual cultivator, also like the Purple Cloud Sect, as long as to join the sect, will be considered a member of it, and there is no sect elite and casual cultivator foundation said.

  In this way, after joining that Jindan force, as his cultivation quickly reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment, he also obtained the Jindan secret method from it.

  Cultivation had reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment and had obtained the Golden Dan secret method from the sect.

  This Xingyan True Lord's luck was also unexpectedly good.

  After leaving the Jindan forces and wandering around for decades, he managed to obtain a Gold Condensation Dan somewhere.

  Served.

  Promoted to the Jindan realm!

  Unfortunately, after his cultivation entered the Jindan realm, True Lord Xingyan's luck seemed to have been used up, and his luck began to run out.

  Speaking of cultivation alone.

  From the early stage of Jindan to the middle stage of Jindan, it had taken True Lord Xingyan more than a hundred years.

  And from the middle Jindan stage to the late Jindan stage.

  True Monarch Xingyan was unable to make a breakthrough until he died.

  In response, He Song felt a strong sense of unwillingness within that jade slip.

  All the way from the Qi Practicing Stage, he had broken through to the Jindan Realm, but in the Jindan Realm, he had only taken a single step, and then was stuck in the middle Jindan stage for the rest of his life, unable to break through to the late Jindan stage.

  In such a situation, the unwillingness in True Lord Xingyan's heart was naturally imaginable.

  And because of this, with his lifespan coming to an end and his cultivation never being able to be raised.

  True Monarch Xingyan also had to pin his hopes on the Life Extension Pill.

  Unfortunately.

  Even after taking the Life Extension Pill and extending his lifespan for several decades, True Monarch Xingyan was still unable to break through to the late Jindan stage of his own cultivation, and instead, he was ushered to his death amidst the passage of time.

  A once mighty Jindan True Lord passed away.

  In the Jindan cave that was left behind, there were no more precious things.

  Retracting his divine sense from the jade slips, He Song looked at the dozen or so jade slips in front of him, but in his heart, he sighed quietly.

  From within the life of True Lord Xingyan.

  He Song saw his struggles and helplessness.

  He also saw the unwillingness and despair of his cultivation being trapped in the middle Jindan stage for hundreds of years.

He also saw the gradual change in his mindset after his cultivation had stagnated.

In this regard, He Song was not personally experienced and could not empathize with him.

However, He Song knew.

True Monarch Xingyan was merely the epitome of many cultivators.

At the Qi Practicing Stage, there were Qi Practicing cultivators who were stuck at the sixth level of Qi Practicing for a long time, unable to break through, and then could only wait quietly for death to come.

At the Foundation Establishment Realm, there were Foundation Establishment True Lords who were stuck at the Foundation Establishment Grand Circle because they didn't have the Jindan Secret Technique and didn't have the Jindan Condensation, and were never able to take a step forward again.

At the Golden Dan Realm
