Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 494: 449: Murder for Goods_2

You must understand.

When He Song first looted the cave mansion of a later-stage Golden Elixir Master like Master Yin Yue, he had only gained thirty thousand medium-grade spirit stones.

Now, merely by killing four Foundation Establishment Masters and looting three Foundation Establishment Clans, he had already amassed such a wealth.

From this, one could easily imagine how much wealth was hidden within the Li Family, where Master Yun Hua was, and within the other two major Foundation Establishment Clans in the Green Mountain Immortal City.

This wealth, made He Song, who was constantly counting in the middle of his flight, stunned, sighing at the great harvest he had this time.

And within the storage bags of the Four Great Foundation Establishment Masters led by Master Yun Hua, and the numerous treasures looted from their families, aside from ones with clearly valued prices that He Song had calculated, there were still many items whose prices were hard to calculate

Being currently transferred to his own storage bag by He Song.

According to He Song’s guess, if these hard-to-calculate treasures were sold by him, he might even gain a few thousand medium-grade spirit stones.

By this calculation, these objects would be another revenue, making He Song’s gains substantial this time.

“Really, killing and arson brings wealth, mending bridges and roads leave no corpse.”

“Just by slaying four Foundation Establishments, I could obtain resources worth at least twenty thousand medium-grade spirit stones.”

“With so many spirit stones in hand, if the Foundation Establishment Elixir was not controlled by those Golden Core Sects, it would probably be enough to cultivate many Foundation Establishment Masters, right?”

“Unfortunately, when one is outside of major forces, there are certain things that can’t be bought even with spirit stones.”

“But the wealth gained from plundering through killing far surpasses the effort of painstakingly farming and refining elixirs.”

“You must understand, that my actions were but a blink of an eye, while farming and elixir refinement require at least ten years.”

“No wonder, no wonder evil cultivators run rampant in the Cultivation World, appearing at any given moment.”

“So the gains from slaying cultivators are so enormous.”

“Thinking this way, what’s the point of farming and refining elixirs compared to plundering through killing?”

After carefully calculating and realizing that he had gained more than twenty thousand medium-grade spirit stones just by casually taking action, He Song sighed emotionally.

But after some thought, he forcefully pushed down the stirrings in his heart.

Killing a few Foundation Establishment youngsters who were colluding with diabolism, and intending to hurt him, would probably not be objected by anyone.

After all, these few were guilty of colluding with diabolism and deserved punishment.

And later, they attempted to harm He Song, a Golden Elixir Master, they brought what happened to them upon themselves.

But if He Song were to get addicted and continue doing so, killing numerous Foundation Establishment Masters indiscriminately, he would probably catch plenty of attention quickly.

This was within the territory of the Nascent Soul Upper Sect, the Sun Faction.

Although even if He Song acted in such a manner, he would basically not catch the attention of the Ancestor Yuanying.

At most, the Sun Faction would send a Golden Elixir Master to “communicate” with He Song to stop his actions.

Of course, if He Song’s cultivation was lower, there might be news of a Golden Elixir Master of the Sun Faction killing a person of diabolism to boost morale before starting a war with the God Locking Sect.

He Song might not necessarily die from this.

However, if such an event occurred, He Song’s reputation as a bullying master would surely spread.

He might even be labeled as evil or part of diabolism.

In such a case, if He Song were to travel outside, his reputation would probably be ruined.

This went completely against He Song’s principle of cultivating tranquility and stability.

At the same time.

A situation like killing several Foundation Establishment Masters was rare and couldn’t be pursued.

If not for Master Yun Hua being too greedy, He Song wouldn’t even have gotten the opportunity to kill them one by one.

In other words, He Song’s harvest was quite substantial this time, but it was only one-off and could not be sustained.

After understanding this, He Song’s desire to continue to other immortal cities and repeat the previous situation naturally faded.

After understanding that this was not the way to go, He Song quickly shifted his attention to the secluded place several thousands of miles away from Green Mountain Immortal City.

Though till now.

He Song had only vaguely sensed that there was something wrong about that place and did not obtain any definitive news from the evil cultivator’s memory.

But for He Song, these were enough.

He was an expert in array tao and naturally, held his own understanding of it.

Simultaneously, his previous deductions had already inferred that something was amiss here.

However, whether it was a Golden Elixir Cave Mansion or something else, He Song still needed to inspect it personally to find out.

And for the sake of prudence.

Through flight with the tunneling light, He Song descended from the sky when he was hundreds of miles away from that area.

He randomly chose a secluded valley, in which he set up a Divine Thunder Array.

This Divine Thunder Array was deliberately set up by He Song as a fallback for himself.

Should any unexpected incident occur later, He Song would not be left without any escape route.

Even if a Golden Elixir Master would attempt to kill him, he might be able to counterattack or cover his escape using this Divine Thunder Array.

After setting up the Divine Thunder Array in this location, He Song inserted many spirit stones into it.

Thereafter, he tunneled into the ground and progressed towards his destination underground.

When underground, He Song activated the Concealing Divine Sense Skill, completely hiding his presence.

He traveled fast, using the Earth Tunneling Skill to head straight to the area.

Such measures ensure that his arrival will not attract any attention.

Even if a Golden Elixir Master is present in the area, they would not be able to detect the presence of He Song, who is currently underground and has deployed the Concealing Divine Sense Skill.

Given such circumstances, even if he was walking straight into the dragon’s den, He Song, with the Divine Thunder Array as a backup, would likely make a safe escape.

With this idea in mind, He Song quickly navigated underground, reaching his designated location.

This place.

Was characterized by endless mountains, towering and undulating.

Babbling like a jade belt, the river snaked its way through the mountains with layers of mist curling around the forests.

Even deeper into the mountains were stunningly colorful miasma that were present all year round, accompanied by a cacophony of animal roars and insect chirps.

As He Song tunneled underground into these mountains, his vigilance was heightened.

Here, human footprints were scarce.

There seemed to be very few cultivators who had stepped foot into this place, let alone ordinary humans.

At the very least, as far as He Song could see, there was no trace of cultivators in the skies or on earth.

In response to this, He Song thought it over for a moment and hurriedly followed the route from the Evil Cultivator’s memory towards the depths of the mountains ahead.

Back then, the Evil Cultivator, who was only at the sixth-tier of Qi Refining, made it out of this place safe and sound.

Now, He Song, who was at the Golden Elixir early stage, was naturally not afraid of this place.

As He Song forged ahead.

The view in front of him gradually overlapped with the scenes in his memory.

When mists of miasma began to fill the forest canopy over his head, He Song didn’t hesitate to bring out the Meteorite Bead. He used this lower-tier spirit artifact, the Meteorite Bead, to assure his protection.

Even though he was still underground and traveling with the Earth Tunneling Skill.

No one knew whether the miasma here might have some special effects on the cultivators.

No one knew what other dangers lay in the miasma-laden forest.

Thus, it was only natural that he would use a spirit artifact to protect himself.

Beyond that, the divine light twinkled in He Song’s eyes. His Qi Observing Skill, properly deployed, provided him with a clear sight of the scenes above him.

While He Song progressed further, he went deep into the areas laden with miasma and discovered many signs that cultivators had been here.

Remnants of clothes.

Intricate ornaments.

Piles of white bones.

Following the route the Evil Cultivator had traveled, He Song quickly arrived at the unusual place he remembered from the Evil Cultivator’s memories.
