Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 681: Chapter 542 Old Friends Meet_2

Masters Luo Jing and Yun Jing, having already received the news, had long been waiting at this location, prepared to greet He Song’s arrival.

Within the Biyue Prefecture, countless mortals and numerous Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators were all casting their gazes upon the Lower Grade Spiritual Instrument Flying Boat ridden by He Song.

The last time He Song had come here was almost thirty years ago.

Back then, He Song, just as today, gracefully arrived here commanding this very Lower Grade Spiritual Instrument Flying Boat, landing within the Main Pavilion of Treasure Pavilion.

Inside Treasure Pavilion, he was also welcomed by Masters Luo Jing and Yun Jing, the Golden Elixir Masters.

Now, nearly thirty years had passed.

When He Song once again arrived at this place, using the same flying boat and the same landing spot to come here,

those mortals and cultivators who had seen He Song come here nearly thirty years ago couldn’t help but sigh when they looked at He Song’s still handsome face.

Indeed.

He truly deserved to be a Golden Elixir Master blessed with a lifespan of five hundred years.

Thirty years had passed, yet his aura and appearance had not changed in the slightest.

He Song today, just like the man from thirty years before, still held himself aloft, looking down upon all beings.

The bearing he encapsulated hardly differed from that of thirty years ago.

But if one looks at oneself,

Many of the mortals who had seen He Song thirty years ago had already grown old and weary.

Many of the Qi Refining stage cultivators who had seen He Song thirty years ago had also experienced failed attempts at Foundation Establishment and had lost hope for it in this lifetime.

Within Biyue Prefecture, only those mortals and cultivators who had never seen He Song still cast curious glances at him.

However, they too quickly realized from the conversations of those around them the extraordinary status of He Song.

Thirty years ago, when He Song had come here, it had indeed caused quite a stir.

At that time,

Masters Luo Jing and Yun Jing had just been brought to this place by their Uncle Master, Master Qing Shan.

He Song, the unfamiliar Golden Elixir Master, also followed close behind them to this place.

And upon his arrival,

He was also welcomed by Masters Luo Jing and Yun Jing, the Golden Elixir Masters.

The relationship among the three naturally led to much speculation.

However, as time passed, the commotion of that time had also dissipated with the wind.

Until today,

Aside from those who had seen He Song back then and had participated in that discussion,

Few people mentioned the events of that year.

Thirty years was, in fact, quite a long time for mortals and Qi Refining stage cultivators.

Even for Foundation Establishment True Persons,

Thirty years was not a short period either.

Not until He Song’s figure entered into the Treasure Pavilion did the outside clamor become isolated from the interior.

Once He Song descended from his Lower Grade Spiritual Instrument Flying Boat and casually stored it in his storage bag,

To the side,

Masters Luo Jing and Yun Jing, who had long been waiting there, also stepped forward with smiles to greet him at this moment.

Ever since they knew that He Song would soon be making a trip to Biyue Prefecture and needed to stay for a few months, the two sisters, Luo Jing and Yun Jing, had been eagerly anticipating He Song’s arrival in their hearts.

Today,

Nearly thirty years had passed since the last time the three of them met.

Such a long period of nearly thirty years,

To mortals, could be considered half a lifetime.

Even for Golden Elixir Masters, such a length of time was not short.

Being able to meet an old friend again after such a long separation,

Filled the hearts of Masters Luo Jing and Yun Jing with an eagerness that could not be held at bay.

Therefore, as soon as they sensed He Song’s aura, they quickly arrived at this place to wait for his arrival.

He Song was a guest from afar.

As hostesses, it was naturally their duty to greet him and then to arrange a feast in his honor.

Both were very clear about this in their hearts.

“Many years have passed, fellow Daoist, and yet your elegance remains unchanged. It seems that, over these decades, fellow Daoist has lived quite comfortably,” said Master Luo Jing as her gaze swept over him, greeting He Song while not forgetting to offer a compliment.

To the side,

Hearing Master Luo Jing say this,

Master Yun Jing nodded slightly and also quickly spoke up to greet He Song.

“Indeed, it has been many years since we last met. Observing fellow Daoist’s aura, it appears much stronger than before, which suggests great progress in your cultivation.”

“Congratulations, fellow Daoist.”

It must be said.

Master Luo Jing and Master Yun Jing, being in the Treasure Pavilion, have always been influenced by the people there.

In the art of language, they indeed have reached consummate skill.

Even now, upon their long-awaited reunion, they showed no sign of stage fright.

Not only did they greet He Song with smiles in their eyes, but they also did not forget to open their mouths to praise him.

This manner of greeting, coupled with praising oneself in the process, made He Song’s impression of the two somewhat better.

However, he did not show it.

He simply gave a slight bow to the two of them.

“As both of you have said, I have indeed lived quite comfortably over the years, and moreover, my cultivation has not fallen behind.”

“Yet, observing the aura of both of you, it seems your cultivation has greatly advanced.”

“It appears that, over the years, it is not only I who have not neglected my cultivation.”

“Both of you fellow Daoists have also made significant progress in your cultivation over the years.”

“In this case, we should share the joy.”

The progress of Master Luo Jing and Master Yun Jing’s cultivation was immediately clear to He Song with just one glance, letting him understand their current state.

Master Luo Jing broke through to the Golden Elixir Realm around the same time as He Song.

Now, she must have touched upon the bottleneck of the Golden Core Middle Stage.

However, it is unknown how long she has been at it.

The breakthrough of True Monarch Yun Jing to the Golden Elixir Realm was not too long ago but not short either.

Now, her cultivation level must also be about to touch the bottleneck of the Golden Core Middle Stage.

It is just unknown how much longer she will need to reach that bottleneck.

Looking at it this way, the progress in their cultivation can indeed be considered great.

At least compared to He Song, their advancement in cultivation seemed to be a bit faster.

After all, the most important reason for He Song’s rapid breakthrough to the Golden Core Middle Stage was that the bottleneck did not hinder his steps.

If the bottleneck had been firm, He Song might still be at the Golden Elixir Early Stage, struggling with the bottleneck of the Middle Stage.

This is why He Song then voiced the sentiment that it was a shared joy.

But just as He Song replied and expressed shared happiness,

seeing that Master Luo Jing and Yun Jing were about to speak again out of politeness,

He Song then spoke again.

“However, since you have noticed that I have indeed lived quite comfortably these years, I will not hide it from both of you.”

“Over these years, not only has my cultivation increased, but I have also made significant progress in the skill of amulet crafting.”

“These two gifts were made by my own hands, and I hope both of you will accept them.”

With that, two jade boxes appeared in He Song’s hands.

He handed the jade boxes to the two of them.

His voice followed.

“The items contained within these boxes are all Gold Core Defense Spirit Talismans, all personally drawn by me.”

“These items are not particularly precious, but with the Sun Faction and the God Locking Sect constantly at war, it is good to have some extra backups.”

“Just in case, if you encounter any danger in the future, both of you fellow Daoists can use these to protect yourselves.”

“Yet, I truly hope that both of you will not have the need to use these.”

After saying this, He Song shook his head, and his expression grew somewhat complex.

However, right after He Song presented the two jade boxes to Master Luo Jing and Yun Jing,

the two who were originally curious about what He Song wanted to say,

now had their expressions change slightly.

As monks of the Treasure Pavilion,

both Master Luo Jing and True Monarch Yun Jing had been taught many things from a young age.

They had also seen many treasures, having been exposed to them in the Treasure Pavilion.

But even the incomparably valuable treasures they had seen before seemed to pale in comparison to the small jade boxes they each now held in their hands.

According to what He Song said.

In the past several decades, he had not wasted his time in cultivation and had even refined his skills, making great strides in the Amulet Tao.

Therefore, at this reunion, he personally offered them the Defense Spirit Talismans he had drawn himself.

Defense Spirit Talismans.

Even if they were Golden Elixir Realm Defense Spirit Talismans, in reality, neither of them was ever short of them.

But…
