Chapter 223 - 223: 215: Master’s Visit

Translator: 549690339

“Brother He, the thirty-yearly sect’s Outer Disciple Competition is about to begin. I have been ordered by my master to return to the sect to attend the ceremony.”

“On my way back to the sect, I happen to pass by the Herbs Immortal

Workshop that you are guarding, so I decided to come and visit you.”

“I wonder where you are right now.”

“Ping’er. ”

Looking at the elegant handwriting on the paper, He Song’s mind suddenly flashed back to the previous Outer Disciple Competition scene.

That Outer Disciple Competition was not a regular one held every thirty years.

It was just a competition organized by Master Fa Xuan to win people’s hearts.

There were no Foundation Establishment Masters present to watch, nor were there any lively scenes.

It was just a group of outer disciples fighting for supremacy on the stage.

Now, this time.

Ping’er specifically mentioned that it is the once-every-thirty-years Outer Disciple Competition.

It seems that, unlike the last time, when the top ten were basically pre-determined, this Outer Disciple Competition should be even more exciting.

However, thinking of this, He Song’s mind flashed back to the scene when Ping’er confronted another Senior Sister on the stage during the previous Outer Disciple Competition.

At that time, Ping’er had participated in the Outer Disciple Competition, but unfortunately, she was defeated and fell off the stage because her cultivation was too low.

Now.

So many years have passed.

Ping’er’s status is no longer that of an outer disciple as before.

Having already reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, she no longer needs to compete with other disciples on the stage as before.

Instead, under the arrangement of Master Qingyue, she returns to the sect as a Foundation Establishment Master, sitting high on a platform, overlooking all living beings.

Such a change in status and position.

It was all brought about by her successful breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Putting the paper in his storage bag, He Song waved his hand casually, and the Smoke Array instantly hid all the Array Skills and abnormal spirit Qi concentration situations in the mansion.

After doing all this.

He Song’s mansion was no different from the mansions of other Masters in the Immortal Pavilions.

Aside from the four spirit puppets controlled by He Song, his mansion had no other difference from other Foundation Establishment Masters’ mansions.

Even the spirit Qi concentration in the mansion seemed to be no different from other places.

Only at this moment.

He Song took out a thin paper from his storage bag.

“Thank you for your concern, Junior Sister. I am currently in the Herbs Immortal Workshop. If you arrive, you can directly enter the mansion.”

“He Song.”

After placing the thin paper inside the Sound Transmission Amulet.

As he emitted mana, the thin paper inside the Sound Transmission Amulet instantly disappeared.

Presumably, it was transmitted into Ping’er’s Sound Transmission Amulet.

Seeing this, He Song didn’t continue to cultivate.

Instead, he left the quiet room, found a reception room in the mansion, and began to wait for Pinger’s arrival.

Pinger was returning to the sect this time, and intended to visit him along the way.

While He Song was somewhat flattered, he naturally would not neglect Ping’er’s arrival.

Although it was on the way.

Coming to see him still proved that Ping’er didn’t regard him as an outsider.

In this case.

If he neglects her again.

It might leave a bad impression on others.

This would be very disadvantageous for He Song’s future in the Cultivation World.

In that case, it would be better to wait in the reception room early, arrange spirit fruits and spirit tea, and wait for Ping’er’s arrival quietly. By doing so, he could express his importance to this matter.

Ping’er didn’t make He Song wait too long.

Within a short tea time, Ping’er, dragging a long aqua blue escape light, descended from the sky and entered He Song’s mansion.

The Herbs Immortal Workshop outside the mansion suddenly burst into noise.

Seeing this situation.

He Song naturally came out to greet her and led her into the reception room, which had already been prepared with spirit fruits and spirit tea.

When the two settled in the reception room.

The noise outside the mansion disappeared at this moment.

After the outside noise disappeared completely, He Song then raised his hand and beckoned.

“Junior Sister, please.”

As for the noise outside the mansion, He Song didn’t need to think about it; he knew the reason.

It was nothing more than the Qi Refining stage cultivators outside detecting Pinger’s escape light descending, causing a discussion.

In the Immortal Pavilion.

Apart from the Master Guardian of the Immortal Pavilion itself.

It is actually difficult to see other Foundation Establishment Masters at other times.

For example, when He Song was at Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion, he never saw any Foundation Establishment Masters visiting besides Master Cheng Shan.

He Song stayed at Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion for many years.

For so many years, he hadn’t seen the second Foundation Establishment Master.

It is imaginable how difficult it is to see the second Foundation Establishment Master in the Immortal Pavilion.

Now.

Ping’er’s sudden visit caused the Qi Refining cultivators outside not to discuss it would have been strange.

“Thank you, Brother.”

Facing He Song’s invitation, Ping’er’s eyes swept over the spirit tea and spirit fruits in front of her, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

When did her brother become so polite?

He even took out spirit fruits and spirit tea to entertain her specifically.

Although in the past, when He Song had entertained her, there was indeed spirit tea every time.

But such spirit fruits.

This was the first time they appeared.

Could it be… because she took the initiative to visit this time?

Such a thought flashed through Ping’er’s mind.

After some thought, the more he pondered, the more it seemed to be the case.

In the past, when he went to see He Song, he was basically accompanied by Chu Shuangshuang, and it was not the same as this time, where he came specifically to visit.

Although it was on the way this time, it was actually considered a special trip.

Otherwise, he could have just returned to the sect directly, so why bother coming here?

When he thought it through, the surprise in Ping’er’s eyes gradually dissipated, but a faint delight emerged in her heart.

It seemed that.

The treatment between the two was not the same.

The special attention given to the former was clearly higher.

Ping’er glanced at He Song, a thoughtful expression flashing through her eyes.

However, He Song didn’t pay attention to these details, and after exchanging pleasantries, he quickly asked the question in his heart.

“Junior Sister, when you return to the sect this time to attend the ceremony, isn’t the Wolf Immortal Pavilion going to be unguarded?”

If Ping’er goes to the ceremony, the guarding Master of the Wolf Immortal Pavilion would be gone.

If something happened to the Wolf Immortal Pavilion while Ping’er was away for the ceremony, it would likely be a problem for her to return.

What if the Wolf Immortal Pavilion had become ruins when Pinger came back?

That scene… could it make one collapse directly?

Thinking of that, He Song looked at Ping’er, wanting to know what she was

“The Wolf Immortal Pavilion doesn’t need to be worried about. If Master intends for me to attend the ceremony, she will naturally also take care of the Wolf Immortal Pavilion for me.”

“However, this time, both explicitly and implicitly, Master wants me to return to the sect to take on a young apprentice. But finding an apprentice isn’t that easy. ”

“Sigh.”

“I didn’t expect that just after I established my foundation, I might have to accept an apprentice.”

“I don’t know how to teach apprentices.”

As He Song casually asked, Ping’er’s face turned bitter and she began to complain directly.

She.>

Ping’er.>

She’s still an apprentice herself.>

She had already been advised by her Master, Master Qingyue, to accept an apprentice.

She had only just established her foundation, and she hadn’t enjoyed her great life yet.

She had to take an apprentice and teach them how to cultivate?’

Wasn’t this a bit too fast?’

What if the apprentice was taught wrong?’

Moreover, she was only in her seventies for now, which was not considered old given the 200 -year lifespan of the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.’

Under such circumstances, it’s no wonder Ping’er would sigh about being arranged to attend this ceremony and, in passing, recruit an apprentice to return.’

Upon hearing Ping’er’s description. >

He Song felt speechless in his heart. >

In the Cultivation World, the relationship between master and apprentice is much closer than that of teacher and student in the previous world.’

In the Cultivation World, acknowledging a master means having a new elder in one’s life.’

Usually, this elder will teach you various knowledge about cultivating immortality.’

They will provide you with many resources for your cultivation.’

They will introduce you to their connections.’

They will stand behind you and keep you safe.’

Even the Foundation Establishment Elixir will be handed to you if they have the ability.’

Just like Master Qingyue.’

She gave each of her two apprentices a Foundation Establishment Elixir.’

And it was because of Master Qingyue’s careful guidance, coupled with various cultivation resources and Foundation Establishment Elixirs, that Ping’er was finally able to establish her foundation.’

Because of this.’

When this elder speaks of a task, how can you, who have already accepted so much, refuse?’

This is why, although Ping’er seems reluctant to talk about this matter with He Song, she has actually followed Master Qingyue’s instructions, preparing to return to the sect to attend the ceremony.’

If she meets someone predestined during the ceremony, it’s not impossible for her to take them as an apprentice.’

Her current state is a classic case of her body being very honest.’

He Song saw everything.’

But since Ping’er had already started complaining, he didn’t forcibly interrupt.’

Instead, he sat listening quietly to it all while holding his tea.’

Finally.>

It seemed Ping’er had finished venting and stopped talking to appreciate the tea.’

He Song then spoke.’

“It’s not urgent for the matter of accepting an apprentice. Such things rely on fate, and when it’s time, it will naturally happen.”

“However, during this once-in-thirty-year Outer Disciple Competition, the disciples who will be competing should be at least at the ninth-tier Qi Refining stage, right?”

“Isn’t it a bit…excessive to accept someone at the ninth- tier Qi Refining stage as an apprentice?”

“Shouldn’t an apprentice be raised from a young age and grow up beside you?”

He Song didn’t finish what he had to say, and halfway through, he looked at Ping’er.’

An apprentice at the ninth-tier Qi Refining stage.+’

Without much bonding, a Foundation Establishment Elixir would already be consumed.’

And it’s not even guaranteed that they’ll successfully establish their foundation.’

This deal.+’

Is simply a great loss.+’

It’s only because He Song is an everlasting being without any interest in accepting an apprentice.’

If it were any other Foundation Establishment cultivator who wanted an apprentice, they would probably not have any thoughts about it once they realized it could only be done this way.’

Although the relationship between master and disciple in the Cultivation World is unbreakable, it’s indeed quite inhumane to invest so much in a disciple you don’t have much emotional connection with.’

At least He Song couldn’t do it himself..>
