Chapter 117: Chapter 116 Meng Guan ‘s Request
Translator: 549690339
The issue was that when Vein Protection Elixir was available in the past, he was still striving to improve his cultivation, unsure if he could reach the realm of Qi Refining Great Perfection before turning 60.
If he were to use his spirit stones to purchase Vein Protection Elixir back then, it might have slowed down the speed of his cultivation advancement.
Therefore, he had not made preparations in advance.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be stuck in a situation where he just reached the zenith of Qi Refining and had no Vein Protection Elixir at his disposal.
“I only left with over two hundred spirit stones. I used up the spirit stones I’ve saved before coming here to replace my artifacts and spirit amulets…”
Upon Meng Guan’s ask for spirit stones, He Song, after a moment of thought, told the truth.
Though he had more than 60,000 catties of spirit rice on him, he definitely couldn’t touch them when in dire need of spirit stones.
If he revealed his identity by selling spirit rice, the consequences would be unpredictable.
Moreover, this is the Green Wall Immortal City, where the control of the Thick Earth Sect is far stronger than that of the Immortal Pavilion.
However, he ruminated on another thought towards the end.
“If it’s not enough, I can sell an artifact. It should be enough to gather the necessary spirit stones.”
Even if it meant selling an artifact, spirit rice must remain untapped.
That was a decision made by He Song after careful consideration.
Any hasty sell of spirit rice might raise suspicions, leading to severe consequences.
However, if he urgently needed spirit stones and decided to sell an artifact, no one could say anything against it.
Anyway, he traveled to Green Wall Immortal City with Wei Fan and would naturally return to Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion together.
They faced no danger upon their journey here.
He figured there wouldn’t be any danger upon their return either.
Worst case, he had two life-saving spirit amulets on himself. If danger arose, he could immediately flee.
After escaping to a distance, he could employ the Earth Tunneling Skill and retreat to Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion while concealing his energy, which wasn’t a difficult task.
With this in mind.
Having one more or one less artifact wouldn’t affect his safety at all.
This was why He Song preferred to sell artifacts rather than peddle spirit rice in Green Wall Immortal City.
As long as it didn’t impact him, there was no harm in helping out a close friend.
At the same time.
Meng Guan, as a guide of his past life, was incredibly important to He Song.
Had it not been for the copy of “Spiritual Plant Cultivation Skill” that Meng
Guan gave him, He Song would still be struggling through the mortal world.
Perhaps a helpless He Song without the protection of the Pavilion would have perished at the hands of some loose or evil cultivator.
How could he be as comfortable and content as he is now, his cultivation advancing to the Qi-refining late stage in such a short period of time?
With such deep gratitude, He Song naturally needed to reciprocate.
If Meng Guan died because of this incident, He Song might develop a mental demon on his cultivation path in the future, hindering his cultivation.
Rather than being possessed by the mental demon, he might as well use all his capacity to help Meng Guan at this moment.
No matter what, exhausting all resources to help one time could at least pay off some of this immense favor.
Moreover, if Meng Guan successfully established his foundation this time, He Song’s assistance would certainly not be forgotten. That way, he might be able to lean on a Master of the Foundation Establishment Realm in the future.
If that time comes, no matter how many spirit stones are needed, it would all be worth it!
Even if Meng Guan failed in his breakthrough.
With the Vein Protection Elixir, he would still be able to survive.
Considering the recompense a Qi Refining perfection cultivator could give for these spirit stones, it was a drop in the ocean.
In that sense, He Song would never be at a loss.
Although he had said so, it’s unlikely he would have to resort to selling artifacts.
Knowing that the Vein Protection Elixir costs two thousand spirit stones, and Meng Guan already had twelve hundred of them, He Song may not need to provide spirit stones. Wei Fan might be able to cover the remaining spirit stones.
Nevertheless, He Song still had to make his offer.
Without doing so, how could Meng Guan be cognizant of his kind intention?
Only by providing help in a crucial moment can one engrave a deep impression on the other’s mind.
At this moment, He Song was like adding fuel in snowy weather.
“My friend, you worry too much. Over the years, I have saved enough spirit stones, a thousand or so, and there’s no need to further discuss the sale of artifacts. ”
Seeing He Song even willing to discuss selling his artifacts, a flicker of warmth appeared in Wei Fan’s eyes.
He quickly spoke up about his own savings.
Even though he had a good understanding of He Song’s character, hearing that He Song would rather sell his artifacts to help Meng Guan purchase the Vein Protection Elixir made him have an even better impression of He Song.
He Song is so willing to help Meng Guan today.
Who will say he would not do the same for him, Wei Fan, in the future?
As these thoughts crossed his mind, Wei Fan waved his hand casually. A large number of spirit stones were instantly laid out on the table in front of him.
“With my thousand spirit stones, plus more than two hundred from Brother He, and the twelve hundred or so on Lao Meng, we should have more than enough to buy a Vein Protection Elixir.”
As soon as the words came out, He Song waved his hand from the side, and the remaining two hundred or so spirit stones from his storage bag piled up on the table.
He no longer mentioned selling artifacts.
As he expected, Wei Fan was not lacking spirit stones.
At this moment,
The tea table was filled with spirit stones.
The glowing spirit stones shone, emitting a mesmerizing light.
This scene made Meng Guan, standing by the side, filled with emotion, his face changed.
He looked at He Song and then at Wei Fan.
It was as if he wanted to engrave their faces deeply in his heart.
After a long silence.
He let out a sigh.
He stood up and respectfully saluted He Song and Wei Fan.
“It is my good fortune to have friends like you. I will not say much anymore. If I can reach the Foundation Establishment Realm, I will definitely remember your kindness.”
The price of a Vein Protection Elixir is usually around two thousand spirit stones.
At this moment, the combined spirit stones of the three were already around two thousand five hundred.
An extra five hundred spirit stones, purchasing a Vein Protection Elixir was now a small matter.
With the strong support from He Song and Wei Fan, Meng Guan naturally felt deeply moved and remembered this moment in his heart.
Seeing this, He Song and Wei Fan quickly helped Meng Guan up and told him not to overthink it.
Right now,
It was still important to buy Vein Protection Elixir at the auction and choose a day to hit the Foundation Establishment Realm. The small auction is to be held in three days’ time.
Counting the time,
They could still make it.
Thus, after packing up the spirit stones, Meng Guan did not go back to his training room but pleasantly toured the Green Wall Immortal City with He Song and Wei Fan.
For three days, the three of them went around the entire Green Wall Immortal City.
Three late-stage Qi Refining cultivators were touring together, thus naturally, not many people dared to provoke them.
Of course, in these three days, the three of them did not encounter any mishap and everything went well.
Just like that,
Three days later,
He Song, Wei Fan, and Meng Guan came to the venue of the small auction together.
As it was a small auction, there weren’t that many people.
Looking around, He Song saw only dozens of cultivators, with high and low cultivation levels, but not a single Foundation Establishment Master.
However, each participant of this small auction was clad in a black robe and concurrently using the Breath Concealment Formulas, concealing themselves completely.
Even the three of them, did the same.
Meng Guan may have some fame in the Green Wall Immortal City, but the auction prohibited killing and intimidation, with death as punishment for infringement. Naturally, he would not reveal his identity and bring potential troubles upon himself..
