Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation-Chapter 1045 - 724
Chapter 1045: 724
Chapter 1045: 724
With such thoughts, He Song’s mind was also flooded with guesses.
However,
just as He Song’s mind was filled with guesses,
Ghostfaced True Monarch had adjusted his own state and quickly spoke.
“I just happened to recall a happy event and lost my composure for a moment. I hope my fellow Daoist will not take offense,” he said.
“However, the offer of 150,000 mid-grade spirit stones you mentioned, isn’t that a bit low?”
“According to what you said before, the last cultivator’s Golden Core was sold for a full 160,000 mid-grade spirit stones.”
“If I let this cultivator’s Golden Core continue to be auctioned, the gains I could get would likely be even more.”
“Even after deducting the auction’s commission, the gains I would receive are probably going to exceed the 150,000 mid-grade spirit stones you mentioned.”
“As for what you said about selling this cultivator’s Golden Core to you, helping me avoid entanglement with other Golden Elixir Masters,”
“you needn’t worry about that. I still have some strength, and I believe it is sufficient to ensure my safe departure from this place.”
“Therefore, that cannot be considered a benefit.”
“However, since my fellow Daoist has come here in person today and the offer is not too low,”
“considering how earnestly you have come to discuss this matter with me today, I can do you the favor.”
“150,000 mid-grade spirit stones it is then.”
“I won’t ask for more,”
“I just hope that when we meet again, you will remember today’s event.”
As soon as these words were spoken,
the room fell silent.
He Song looked at the Ghostfaced True Monarch before him in astonishment,
and Xiao Qing, at this moment, was also staring at the Ghostfaced True Monarch with a shocked expression.
At that moment,
both He Song and Xiao Qing had a question flashing through their minds.
Does this Ghostfaced True Monarch have some issue with his thinking?
Otherwise, why would he say such things?
“150,000 spirit stones is 150,000 spirit stones”?
Is he seriously not going to bargain at all?
If He Song had said 100,000 spirit stones, would he also have agreed?
With such thoughts crossing his mind, He Song opened his mouth, but then quickly swallowed the words that had already reached the tip of his tongue.
Originally, He Song had been prepared on how to persuade the Ghostfaced True Monarch and to bargain over the price of this Golden Core.
But unexpected to him, he had just made an offer that wasn’t particularly fair,
and the Ghostfaced True Monarch before him had already agreed outright.
This turn of events made the words that He Song was about to speak immediately unnecessary,
and it completely disrupted He Song’s rhythm.
However, having cultivated all the way from the Qi Refining stage to the Golden Elixir Realm, He Song was someone who had seen his fair share of trials and tribulations.
Therefore, even though his rhythm was disrupted for a moment, He Song merely pondered briefly before quickly gathering his spirits and speaking.
“In that case, I thank you, fellow Daoist.”
“I shall definitely keep in mind the favor you have done me today.”
“In the future, if there is anything I can assist with, just ask.”
“As long as I am available and it does not endanger my life or wealth, I will certainly not stand idly by.”
“Here are the 150,000 mid-grade spirit stones. Please verify them.”
“If it is acceptable, then let’s complete the transaction with an exchange of goods and payment.”
After these words, He Song took out a storage bag and placed it in front of him, his gaze also turning to the Ghostface before him.
At this point, the most important thing for He Song was to acquire the cultivator’s Golden Core from Ghostface as quickly as possible.
As for whether the Ghostface before him had a problem with his brain, or if there was some other scheme, these concerns, although significant to He Song, were not overly deep.
He, who could gain an advantage from the situation, had his worries but also wanted to conclude the trade as soon as possible.
After all, Ghostface had indeed saved him tens of thousands of mid-grade spirit stones.
Amassing so many mid-grade spirit stones would also take He Song some time to accumulate.
This period, although not long, was not short either.
Therefore, He Song naturally wouldn’t delve any deeper into the matter.
Moreover,
whether Ghostfaced True Monarch had lost his mind or had other schemes made no difference to He Song.
After all, if Ghostfaced True Monarch really had some problems with his brain, it wouldn’t be He Song who would suffer the consequences.
One hundred and fifty thousand mid-grade spirit stones in exchange for a Gold Core Cultivator’s Golden Core.
While it wasn’t cheap,
it actually was not too expensive either.
So even if Ghostfaced True Monarch had lost his mind, He Song would not be at a loss.
Even if Ghostfaced True Monarch had some other motive and thus agreed so readily, He Song had his own countermeasures in place.
According to He Song’s thinking,
This content is taken from fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm.
the most Ghostfaced True Monarch could do in their trade was to tamper with the Golden Core he provided to He Song.
After the transaction concluded, He Song would then inspect the Golden Core and remove any tampering done by others.
Even if there was any doubt about removing the sabotage completely, He Song could simply set up an array and continuously bombard the Golden Core with the power of the array for several days.
With the constant bombardment of powerful attacks day and night, He Song did not believe that the traces left by a Gold Core Cultivator could remain undetected.
Moreover, while He Song’s openly known cultivation might be at the early stage of the Golden Elixir,
in reality, his cultivation had already reached the later stage of the Golden Elixir.
Additionally, he had the Earth Vein Spirit Pearl, his life-bound artifact, as well as three Gold Core puppets at his side and six Talismanic Treasures as his trump cards.
With so many treasures by his side, plus He Song’s cultivation at the later stage of the Golden Elixir,
even if Ghostfaced True Monarch’s cultivation reached the Golden Elixir Great Perfection Realm and he had some kind of conspiracy, he still wouldn’t pose much of a threat to He Song.
Even if he couldn’t win, he could still run.
As long as he could run, He Song would not face any danger.
Moreover, as a Guest Elder of Treasure Pavilion, He Song had backing even when he was away from home.
If someone were to target him, just knowing He Song’s identity would cause them to hesitate.
With these thoughts in mind, He Song looked at Ghostfaced True Monarch before him and felt a flicker of anticipation.
With the Gold Core Cultivator’s Golden Core in his possession,
He Song would be able to refine his fourth Gold Core puppet.
From then on, Qing Feng and Mingyue, Xianyun and Ye He, would once again flank He Song, aiding him to further his cultivation journey.
Back when He Song’s cultivation was still in the Foundation Establishment Realm,
he had four spirit puppets known as Qing Feng and Mingyue, Xianyun and Ye He.
At that time, Qing Feng and Mingyue, Xianyun and Ye He were actually of great help to He Song.
However, as He Song’s strength grew, Qing Feng and Mingyue, Xianyun and Ye He were destroyed and, after being repaired, gradually could no longer keep up with the growth of He Song’s strength.
Therefore, the four spirit puppets Qing Feng and Mingyue, Xianyun and Ye He were consequently retired by He Song to storage.
Until now.
The chance to showcase the grace of the four puppets Qing Feng and Mingyue, Xianyun and Ye He was before him, naturally, He Song was quite delighted.
As for the four puppets, and the meaning they represented, He Song was indeed moved.
After all, Qing Feng and Mingyue, Xianyun and Ye He were memories from many years past.
Now that a recreation was possible, naturally, He Song was quite moved.
And just as these thoughts passed through He Song’s mind and he anticipated trading with the Ghostfaced True Monarch before him.
Ghostfaced True Monarch, having listened to He Song’s words, did not refuse.
Instead, he quickly took out a Gold Core Cultivator’s Golden Core from his storage bag.
With the appearance of the Golden Core, the living room where the three of them were swiftly became enveloped in a layer of golden light.
He Song and Xiao Qing involuntarily turned their eyes towards the source of the golden light at that moment.
At that moment, a small Golden Core quietly floated in the hands of Ghostfaced True Monarch, with streaks of golden light radiating outwards in all directions.
And in that instant, He Song affirmed one thing.
The Golden Core in Ghostfaced True Monarch’s hands was indeed a genuine Gold Core Cultivator’s Golden Core.
