Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 640: Chapter 522: Hidden Cave_1

It could be said that if the Immortal Pavilions did not exist in the Cultivation World, then perhaps He Song himself would not exist.

Without the ability to contact other cultivators, even as an everlasting being, He Song might have lingered for a long time during his Qi Refining stage.

For this reason, although An Ning was puzzled as to why He Song would want to stroll around in Jinsha Immortal Lane,

she didn’t oppose his decision.

Instead, she volunteered to offer herself as a guide for He Song.

With her, the Master Guardian who had presided over Jinsha Immortal Lane for many years, at his side, He Song’s leisurely visit would naturally be a much better experience.

He Song did not refuse this offer.

And indeed, as he said, he spent several days wandering around Jinsha Immortal Lane with An Ning.

After several days,

He Song, who had still not found anyone who caught his eye, had no choice but to give up on his search.

During these days, He Song’s daily visits to Jinsha Immortal Lane were actually with some purpose.

With An Ning and Su Qian setting an example,

He Song naturally hoped that he might find others whom he could take under his wing.

Unfortunately, after several days wandering around Jinsha Immortal Lane, He Song came up empty-handed.

Upon realizing that this impulsive activity was unlikely to yield any results,

He Song finally gave up on the idea of looking for followers in Jinsha Immortal Lane today, after several days.

At the same time, he couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

Indeed,

more than a hundred years ago, when he personally went to a mortal inn to gather information but ended up waiting in vain for half a day without learning anything,

he should have understood then,

that these things really depend on luck.

It seems he really isn’t the protagonist who can just sit in a teahouse and overhear the information he needs,

nor can he simply walk into any Immortal Pavilion and attract disciples who would immediately swear allegiance.

Having realized this, He Song naturally let go of the idea and instead turned his attention to An Ning.

And An Ning, who was still following by He Song’s side at this moment,

after spending several days leading He Song around Jinsha Immortal Lane and encountering many people and things she had never seen before,

looked at He Song with a hint of subtle admiration in her eyes.

During the days of wandering around Jinsha Immortal Lane with He Song,

her attitude shifted from initial excitement to diminishing interest, but as time passed, An Ning started to speculate about the purpose of He Song’s meandering.

In her view, He Song’s reluctance to hurry to the abandoned mine might be due to his desire to gather enough information in Jinsha Immortal Lane.

Only by gaining a deeper understanding of the abandoned mine could they better turn danger into safety when they eventually entered it.

Over these days, following He Song, she indeed heard many things from others that she hadn’t known before.

And after gaining a deeper understanding of the abandoned mine,

did An Ning finally grasp why He Song had delayed for a few days and wandered around Jinsha Immortal Lane.

Now,

after spending several days meandering, An Ning was no longer puzzled by He Song’s actions.

Instead, she looked at him with outright admiration.

In her eyes, He Song was teaching her by example to not be hasty when a chance arises,

to first gather intelligence, and then to act after gaining sufficient understanding of the opportunity.

Having comprehended the meaning behind He Song’s actions, An Ning was naturally thrilled.

However, as for this,

He Song had no idea.

After several days of aimless wandering without achieving his goal, He Song had no more desire to continue the excursion.

Therefore, He Song quickly asked An Ning to get ready, preparing for departure at any time.

Next, it was time to check out the abandoned mine that An Ning had mentioned.

And An Ning,

after making some quick preparations, soon arranged affairs in Jinsha Immortal Lane and stealthily left with He Song.

As the Master Guardian of Jinsha Immortal Lane, An Ning was ordinarily required to preside over the Lane to ensure its safety.

Having previously been a Master Guardian himself, He Song naturally understood this.

Therefore, he also understood why An Ning left Jinsha Immortal Lane quietly with him.

If any trouble arose in Jinsha Immortal Lane during An Ning’s absence, Wind Snow Palace might very well seek her out for this.

However, since An Ning herself was unconcerned, He Song naturally did not bring up the matter.

As the two of them departed discreetly from Jinsha Immortal Lane, An Ning, being a Foundation Establishment True Person, set a steady but not exceedingly fast pace.

Before long, the pair arrived at an abandoned mine just a few hundred miles from Jinsha Immortal Lane.

Outside the abandoned mine,

midair,

He Song and An Ning stood side by side, gazing directly down at a large expanse of dilapidated structures.

Those dilapidated structures were once the mining pits of the Gold Sand Spiritual Vein.

Now long abandoned, the buildings naturally fell to ruin.

This mining pit was quite large, and its once thriving state could be discerned from the expanse of dilapidated structures outside the pit.

But now, due to the depletion of the vein within the mine and the massive departure of workers, it had become decrepit.
