At the same time, He Song had gained a lot of understanding about the owner of this cave mansion in his heart.
Among those more than ten jade slips.
The vast majority of them indeed only recorded some strange anecdotes.
But in one of the jade slips, the owner’s life was imprinted as well.
Although it was just text, He Song was able to learn about the life of a Golden Elixir Master through it.
This place’s owner.
His name was Wu Yan.
His dharma title was Master Xing Yan.
Unlike most Golden Elixir Masters.
This Master Xing Yan was not born into a powerful faction from the start.
On the contrary.
Like He Song, he was a loose cultivator, who joined a Nascent Soul Faction Golden Elixir Sect after luckily entering the Foundation Establishment stage by chance.
However, this Golden Elixir sect did not impose as many restrictions on him as an outsider Loose Cultivator as the Thick Earth Sect did.
On the contrary, because the Golden Elixir sect he joined was located within the Nascent Soul Faction Purple Cloud Sect’s territory.
So he benefited from the Purple Cloud Sect’s demeanor.
Most cultivators within the sect, like the Purple Cloud Sect’s members, were immersed in cultivation and had little interest in affairs outside the sect.
Hence, they treated him, an outsider loose cultivator, like the Purple Cloud Sect, simply considering him one of them as long as he joined the sect; there was no distinction between sect elite and outside loose cultivators building their foundation.
As a result, after joining the Golden Elixir sect, he quickly reached the Late Foundation Establishment Stage and acquired the Golden Elixir secret methods from the sect.
Reaching the Late Foundation Establishment Stage and acquiring the Golden Elixir secret methods from the sect.
Master Xing Yan’s luck was unexpectedly good.
After leaving the Golden Elixir sect he was part of and adventuring in the outside world for decades, he managed to obtain a Golden Congealing Elixir Pill in a certain place.
After taking it.
He advanced to the Golden Core Realm!
Unfortunately, after entering the Golden Core Realm, Master Xing Yan’s luck seemed to be used up, and his fortunes began to deteriorate.
Just considering his cultivation level.
It took Master Xing Yan more than a hundred years to advance from the Golden Elixir Early Stage to the Golden Core Middle Stage.
And from the Golden Core Middle Stage to the Later Stage of Golden Elixir.
Master Xing Yan could not break through it until his death.
He Song could feel the strong unwillingness in that jade slip.
Breaking through from the Qi Refining stage to the Golden Elixir Realm all the way, but only stepping out one step in the Golden Elixir Realm and being trapped in the Golden Core Middle Stage for a lifetime, unable to break through to the Later Stage of Golden Elixir.
In such a situation, one can naturally imagine Master Xing Yan’s unwillingness in his heart.
And it is precisely for this reason that when his lifespan was nearing its end and his cultivation level could not be improved any further.
Master Xing Yan had no choice but to place his hope on the Longevity Elixir.
Unfortunately.
Even after taking the Longevity Elixir and extending his life by several decades, Master Xing Yan ultimately failed to breakthrough to the Later Stage of Golden Elixir, and instead met death as time passed by.
A once-influential Golden Elixir Master passed away just like that.
There weren’t too many valuable things left in the Golden Elixir Cave Mansion that remained behind.
Withdrawing his divine sense from the jade slip, He Song looked at the more than ten jade slips in front of him and sighed quietly in his heart.
From Master Xing Yan’s life.
He Song saw his struggles and helplessness.
He also saw his unwillingness and despair that he had been trapped in the Golden Core Middle Stage for hundreds of years.
He even saw the gradual change in his mindset after his cultivation level stagnated.
About this, He Song could not empathize since he had not experienced it firsthand.
However, He Song knew that.
Master Xing Yan was just a microcosm of many cultivators.
During the Qi Refining stage, some Qi-refining cultivators were stuck in the sixth-tier Qi Refining for a long time, unable to break through, and had to quietly await the arrival of death.
In the Foundation Establishment Realm, some Masters Foundation Establishment were unable to take a step forward as they were trapped at Foundation Establishment Great Perfection due to a lack of Golden Elixir secret methods and Golden Congealing Elixir Pills.
During the Golden Elixir Realm…
