Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 709: Chapter 556: Hu Prefecture_2

If He Song added the talismanic treasure he had long possessed.

Together, that would be a total of five talismanic treasures.

For the current He Song, these five talismanic treasures could provide a tremendous boost.

For such things that could rapidly enhance his combat power in a short time, making him even safer, He Song would certainly refine them as quickly as possible.

However, the ingredients required for crafting the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman were not limited to the Cultivator’s Golden Core.

A precious amulet ink was also needed.

And the precious amulet ink required for the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman had to be crafted from other precious materials.

The essence blood from the heart of a demonic beast needed for creating the precious amulet ink.

A spirit liquid formed by refining a large amount of precious spiritual herbs.

And the powder of several precious spirit mines.

These were the very items He Song most needed now.

Previously, He Song had refined a White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman.

This White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman was currently on his wrist, concealed within his sleeve.

With a slight provocation, it could instantly unleash a fierce strike, catching one’s enemies off guard.

Of course, He Song had his own ideas on how much material was needed to refine the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman and how it should be done.

Now, apart from the four cultivator’s Golden Cores obtained from Meng Guan and Wei Fan, He Song also had a Golden Core from the death of Master Yin Yue.

Together, that made a total of five cultivator’s Golden Cores.

If all were refined into talismanic treasures, He Song would have six talismanic treasures.

Six talismanic treasures weren’t much different from the five he had previously envisioned.

At most, the collective attack of six talismanic treasures would indeed be more ferocious than that of five, dealing more damage to the enemy.

But to hope that this additional talismanic treasure would yield significantly more fruits of victory was unlikely.

However, after some contemplation, He Song eventually decided to also transform the Golden Core of Master Yin Yue into a talismanic treasure.

To be able to inflict greater damage on an enemy in a brief moment

would give sufficient significance to Master Yin Yue’s Golden Core.

Perhaps.

It’s precisely the difference that one talismanic treasure makes, which could enable He Song to more easily slay his foes.

Perhaps.

It’s precisely the difference that one talismanic treasure makes, which could allow He Song to silently dispose of a Golden Elixir Master.

Perhaps.

It’s precisely the difference that one talismanic treasure makes, which could make He Song even safer when dealing with various situations.

There’s a saying that a miss by an inch is as good as a miss by a mile.

Perhaps it’s just due to the difference of that one talismanic treasure, that the entire future course might be completely altered.

To exert one’s utmost efforts, to become safer as one gradually grows stronger, that is indeed what He Song, an everlasting being, needs to focus on.

Some things should never be short by even a little.

If one is to do something, they should do it to their utmost potential.

Only in this way, He Song’s safety will be higher.

Having made such a resolve, collecting the precious amulet ink needed for refining the five talismanic treasures naturally became a task He Song had to do next.

To successfully refine five talismanic treasures, he must obtain the precious amulet ink needed for their creation from elsewhere.

And when it comes to obtaining this precious amulet ink, Treasure Pavilion was naturally the first place to come to He Song’s mind.

He vividly remembered traveling to Hu Prefecture himself and acquiring the Fu Hua Record within the Main Pavilion of Treasure Pavilion in Hu State.

And the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman that he needed to craft now was also recorded in the Fu Hua Record.

The Fu Hua Record contained a plethora of spirit amulets.

But the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman was what He Song considered the most valuable of them all.

Now, the value of the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman would be fully realized by him.

Therefore, to acquire the precious amulet ink needed to craft the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman from elsewhere, the first place He Song thought of was still the Main Pavilion of Treasure Pavilion in Hu State.

Although the precious amulet ink required for the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman was extremely valuable, and the quantity He Song needed was not small,

“`

But since He Song had previously bought something at the Purple River State Mansion,

he figured that it must certainly exist within the Main Pavilion of the Treasure Pavilion in Hu Prefecture.

If need be, He Song could simply wait in Hu Prefecture for several months, until he had gathered all the materials he needed and then proceed to forge the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman.

Moreover, Hu Prefecture was conveniently located midway on He Song’s journey back to his temporary cave mansion.

Passing through to purchase what he needed seemed quite opportune.

Beyond this,

He Song had previously met a True Monarch Youyun in the Main Pavilion of the Treasure Pavilion in Hu State.

The person knew of his acquaintance with Master Luo Jing and regarded He Song as somewhat an insider.

In such circumstances, whatever He Song purchased within the Main Pavilion of the Treasure Pavilion in Hu State was bound to be kept confidential.

Unless absolutely necessary, True Monarch Youyun would certainly not let a third party become privy to the matter.

Otherwise, how would she face Master Luo Jing if he were to inquire about it later?

Although He Song did not expect this connection with True Monarch Youyun to lead to significant discounts or for her to withstand great pressure on his behalf,

at least, there would not be a situation where, right after He Song had made a purchase in Hu Prefecture, he would be targeted by another Golden Elixir Master.

With this thought in mind, He Song hesitated as he traveled, but soon arrived at the outskirts of Hu Prefecture.

A few hundred miles from Hu Prefecture,

He Song quietly set up a Divine Thunder Array as a precaution for his return.

However,

standing within the Divine Thunder Array, looking towards Hu Prefecture, He Song’s thoughts began to churn once again.

The hesitation that he had experienced earlier now fully surfaced in his mind.

It was true that he had met True Monarch Youyun once.

But at the very most, True Monarch Youyun would act a bit more cordially towards him, if only out of regard for Master Luo Jing.

Just like before, He Song did not expect True Monarch Youyun to offer significant discounts or take great pressure for his protection.

Their relationship was in fact mainly tethered through Master Luo Jing.

If something were to happen later on, even Master Luo Jing might be unable to manage the situation.

In that case, True Monarch Youyun would likely be undependable.

With this realization, He Song suddenly had a thought.

Why not

alter his cultivation aura and appearance, entering Hu Prefecture as an unknown Golden Elixir Master to purchase what he needed?

In this way, even if True Monarch Youyun proved unreliable, he would be under a false identity.

It would prevent full exposure of his true self.

Besides, entering in his true form, True Monarch Youyun might not offer much of a discount anyway.

If trouble arose later, True Monarch Youyun might even reveal his presence.

Rather than risk that, it would be better to conceal his identity entirely, thus sealing off any potential leaks.

By doing so, the fact that He Song needed those items could also be kept from others.

The crafting of Talismanic Treasures,

for He Song, was meant to be kept extremely confidential.

Should his trump cards become known to others, He Song’s preparations might become a tool for the manipulative.

Therefore, He Song had to ensure that no one discovered his Talismanic Treasure making endeavors.

Concealing his identity was essential.

The options he had considered earlier were indeed too reckless.

He Song silently reflected on his prior thoughts, realizing he needed to be more cautious.

Besides, entering Hu Prefecture under the guise of an unknown Golden Elixir Master to purchase what he needed, though it posed the risk of exposing his needs,

He Song, now at the Golden Core Middle Stage, faced no such complications as he had during the early phase of Golden Elixir.

Currently, even if targeted, with his Golden Core Middle Stage cultivation, he could ensure his safe departure.

After all, Hu Prefecture, no matter how perilous, was unlikely to result in a one-way trip for a cultivator of the Golden Core Middle Stage.
