Chapter 305: Chapter 297: Heading to Cloud State
Translator: 549690339
Even though He Song’s cultivation had reached the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, and his spirit boat was faster than those at the Early and Mid stages, it was still going to take a while.
At the very least, it would take a month and a half.
At this moment, there were only three months left before the auction in Cloud State.
A month and a half was already half of the three months.
If anything happened along the way to Cloud State and made him late, he would not be able to reach there.
Given the situation, He Song started preparing as soon as he returned to his mansion.
First of all.
He Song put almost all his belongings in his storage bag.
This time, it would take at least half a year for him to return.
If his belongings left in the mansion were discovered or stolen in that half a year, or even longer, He Song would undoubtedly suffer a great loss.
To avoid having his place emptied after leaving, he decided to take everything he could with him.
He didn’t leave anything behind in the Elixir Refinement Room either.
This precaution was a common practice among cultivators when going on a
long journey.
Putting all the valuable things on oneself was something every cultivator would do.
That’s why usually, after killing a cultivator, one could obtain all their wealth.
In the minds of cultivators.
Their storage bags were always safer than their cave mansions.
Only by storing everything in their storage bag and carrying it with them could they be assured of its safety.
Even though it would benef the opponent when they die, what would they care when they are dead?
Therefore, unless under special circumstances, almost all cultivators keep their entire wealth inside their storage bags.
He Song was no exception.
After packing everything, He Song faced difficulty deciding what to do with Yu’er, who had grown considerably larger.
Yu’er was no longer the small, handy-sized creature it used to be.
Its size was now comparable to a water tank.
Though not extremely large, carrying it would be very troublesome.
Moreover, there was a good chance of unexpected events happening on his way to Cloud State.
Taking Yu’er with him might put it in extreme danger.
Therefore, Yu’er could absolutely not be taken to Cloud State.
After some contemplation, He Song came up with a plan.
He grabbed a corner of Yu’er’s shell, lifted it up, transformed into an escape light, and soared into the sky.
After quickly leaving Heaven Power Immortal City, He Song eventually found a secluded place.
It was by a riverbank.
But few people ever came here.
There were plenty of fish in the river, which should be sufficient for Yu’er’s consumption.
After arriving, He Song quickly set up a Smoke Array, Seven Kills Heaven Fire Array, and Sea-Stabilizing and Spirit-Orienting Array around the area.
He covered the surroundings with these three arrays, delved deep into the river water, and then threw Yu’er into the array.
At the same time, he released a Qi Refining stage spirit puppet and ordered it to replenish spirit stones if the array gets depleted and feed Yu’er a Beasts Elixir every day.
With abundant food, complete array, and a daily supply of Beasts Elixirs, Yu’er’s temporary residence was ready.
However, the spirit puppet that fed Yu’er daily had changed from Qing Feng to a Qi Refining stage spirit puppet.
Qing Feng was a Foundation Establishment spirit puppet and considered part of He Song’s fighting force, so it had to accompany him on this journey.
The Qi Refining stage spirit puppet was no help to He Song at present. So, He Song released a Qi Refining spirit puppet to feed Yuler Beasts Elixir every day.
After completing all this, He Song knocked on Yu’er’s shell and gave it a reminder.
“Stay here and don’t move. I will be back soon.”
After saying this, He Song left without expecting a response, and once again returned to Heaven Power Immortal City.
An aqua blue escape light approached from the distance.
It directly entered Heaven Power Immortal City.
However, it didn’t land at He Song’s mansion but Wei Fan’s instead.
Unfortunately.
Wei Fan’s servant informed He Song that Wei Fan was in seclusive cultivation, leaving He Song empty-handed.
With no other option, He Song sought out Master Xuan He.
He told Master Xuan He that he needed to leave for a while, and it would take at least half a year, or even a year, before he could return. He requested Master Xuan He to inform Wei Fan and Master Feng Quan about it later.
After Master Xuan He agreed, He Song bowed and took his leave.
Once again, he transformed into an aqua blue escape light and soared into the sky.
He headed straight south of Heaven Power Immortal City. This time.
He Song officially set off for Cloud State Mansion.
Right around the time when He Song transformed into escape light and headed towards Cloud State.
Master Luo Jing in Heaven Power Immortal City’s Treasure Pavilion saw the scene of the escape light heading south.
“He’s obedient and sure leaves quickly.”
“Hopefully, there won’t be any trouble on the way.”
“Sigh.”
As the words fell, Master Luo Jing turned around and went back to the Treasure Pavilion, no longer paying attention to He Song’s departure.
Meanwhile, inside Master Xuan He’s mansion.
Master Xuan He and Master Feng Quan were facing each other at this moment. “Master Cang Song has left on business and will return in half a year to a year.”
“Before leaving, he approached me and said that his share of the profits from the Commerce Association would be divided equally among the three of us during his absence.”
“Of course, we must turn a blind eye to his departure.”
“In this matter, it’s a trade of benefits. What does Master Feng Quan think?”
Master Xuan He looked at the gradually disappearing aqua blue escape light in the horizon and asked Feng Quan.
“Since Master Cang Song is so skilled in interpersonal relationships, it’s no harm to agree.”
“As for Master Cheng Fu, we can inform him after he comes out of seclusive cultivation.”
Master Feng Quan contemplated for a moment and quickly gave his reply.
He Song had already given up a portion of his profits.
The other three only needed to turn a blind eye, without any risk.
With this, it was difficult for him not to agree.
This was also the reason why Master Feng Quan said that He Song was very skilled in interpersonal relationships.
To get something, one must give something. This is an unchanging rule.
Upon hearing Master Feng Quan’s agreement, a smile appeared on Master Xuan He’s face.
Over the years, his relationship with He Song had grown quite close.
When He Song couldn’t find Wei Fan, the first person he thought of was him, which showed the extent of their relationship.
After hearing Master Feng Quants agreement, the heart of Master Xuan He was naturally relieved.
“That’s great; on behalf of Master Cang Song, I thank you.”
With Master Xuan He’s words falling, the two quickly raised their cups and drank together.
As for He Song,
After flying with tunneling light for several hours, he quickly took out the
White Jade Boat from his storage bag and steered the spirit boat southward.
It took too long to travel from Heaven Power Immortal City to Cloud State Mansion.
Even after consideration, He Song chose the spirit boat, which consumed less mana, for this long journey.
On the way,
The White Jade Boat controlled by He Song quickly left the territory of Heaven Power Immortal City.
It entered the jurisdiction of Mountain Immortal City. After leaving the territory of Mountain Immortal City,
He quickly bypassed the residence of the Thick Earth Sect. Continued southward,
Entered the Ghost Road Immortal City’s territory.
Subsequently,
He soon left the Thick Earth Sect’s territory and entered the Jade Flower Sect’s territory.
As a Foundation Establishment Master, coupled with him controlling the spirit boat, He Song barely encountered any accidents along the way.
Even entering the territory of the Jade Flower Sect and passing by an immortal city, no one noticed.
The safety of Foundation Establishment Masters is assured when traveling outside.
Foundation Establishment Masters, unlike the numerous Qi Refining stage cultivators, by comparison, are quite scarce in the Cultivation World. However, since He Song is now in the Foundation Establishment stage, the people he can notice are mostly Foundation Establishment cultivators.
He no longer pays attention to numerous Qi Refining cultivators.
Once he traversed the Jade Flower Sect’s territory, He Song quickly entered Sun Faction’s territory.
Sun Faction, as a Nascent Soul Upper Sect, had an incomparably vast territory.
There were as many as ten Immortal States in their area alone.
Upon entering Sun Faction’s territory,
He Song followed the map in his mind related to Cloud State and quickly arrived at Flying Cloud Immortal Mansion.
Even though the Cloud State auction was more important this time when leaving Heaven Power Immortal City, He Song still remembered Su Qian in Flying Cloud Immortal Mansion.
He still remembered that he had casually given her dozens of spirit stones, which allowed Su Qian to relay messages for him for decades.
Although there were occasional twists and turns, Su Qian never missed sending letters every month.
Since this was the case, how could He Song not keep this matter in his heart?
You should know that,
For the several decades afterward, He Song hadn’t paid a single spirit stone, relying only on the words he said the first time he gave spirit stones — “I’ll repay you later.”
This let Su Qian send letters for him for decades.
This… If it were He Song himself, he probably would never do such a thing.
It was precisely because of this that He Song remembered the matter Qian’er had done for him.
Flying Cloud Immortal Mansion,
When He Song came here again, the Flying Cloud Immortal Mansion was still the same as before.
However, when He Song came this time, he was no longer a lone man like the first time.
Since he had informed Su Qian in advance,
When He Song arrived tens of miles outside of Flying Cloud Immortal Mansion, he saw Su Qian waiting for him alone in a valley they had agreed upon earlier..
