Chapter 269 - Late Foundation Establishment
Leaving his own mansion.
He Song's figure quickly arrived in the mansion where Meng Guan lived not far away.
Meng Guan's cultivation breaking through the late stage of Foundation Establishment was a great joy.
Therefore, both Wei Fan and Xuan He had received an invitation from Meng Guan to come to Meng Guan's residence to celebrate.
However, apart from He Song, the other Qi Practicing Stage cultivators were nowhere to be seen.
Meng Guan did not invite them.
Inside a small pavilion in Meng Guan's residence, four people sat opposite each other, and only after some pleasantries did they open their mouths to congratulate him.
"Congratulations on your cultivation breaking through the late stage of Foundation Establishment, from now on, Golden Dan can be expected."
Raising his teacup, He Song lifted it slightly towards Meng Guan, and with that, he drank the tea in the teacup in his hand.
Only then did He Song put down the teacup in his hand, and his eyes also looked toward Meng Guan's location.
Today was not the day that Meng Guan broke through the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
Rather, it was the time when he had stabilized his cultivation at the late Foundation Establishment stage.
When a cultivator's cultivation broke through, if he didn't close the door in time to stabilize his cultivation, it was very likely that his cultivation would fall.
Although the cultivation could be made up very quickly afterwards, it would always take quite a bit of time.
In this way.
After a cultivation breakthrough, the first thing a cultivator would do was close the door to stabilize his cultivation.
After their cultivation was stabilized, they would then come out of seclusion and do other things.
He Song had previously done the same thing when his own cultivation broke through.
Now that Meng Guan's cultivation had broken through from the mid Foundation Establishment stage to the late Foundation Establishment stage, he naturally did the same thing.
"Many thanks, fellow Daoist."
Arching his hand slightly towards He Song, a smile flickered on Meng Guan's face.
Then, Wei Fan and Xuan He also expressed their joy, but they did not send any congratulatory gifts, just like He Song.
For the four people present.
Cultivation breaking through the late Foundation Establishment stage was not too difficult.
Therefore, there was no need to pay too much attention to one of them when their cultivation broke through.
Otherwise, in the future, if all four of them broke through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, wouldn't the other three each have to send a gift?
It was too troublesome.
It was also too cumbersome.
Because of this, each of the four had not sent any congratulatory gifts.
Just like when Realist Bai Yun left Heavenly Power Immortal City and was transferred to the Thick Earth Sect, he only sent them off in person and did not take any other action.
Other than He Song, who needed to send a gift because he needed to take over the position of the White Cloud Mage, the other three did not do much.
By the time each of them finished their courtesies.
The four of them then talked freely in the pavilion.
Meng Guan, whose cultivation had broken through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, had also taken out quite a few things from his own collection for the hospitality of He Song and the others.
However.
When the time was almost up, Realist Xuanhe also took his leave and prepared to leave.
He Song sat on the side.
He just wanted to also take his leave as Xuanhe did.
However, he saw Meng Guan make a covert wink towards himself.
At that instant, He Song stopped his movements of saying goodbye and chose to continue sitting where he was.
On the other side.
Wei Fan also remained motionless and continued to sit here.
Only after Meng Guan sent the Xuanhe Realist out of the mansion and then returned to He Song and the two of them did Wei Fan open his mouth.
"That Genghis Khan Xuanhe is an elite of the sect, although he is familiar with us, there are some hidden matters that it is still not appropriate to inform him."
"This time, Old Meng has made a breakthrough in his cultivation, so I'm afraid that he will soon be transferred out of this place."
"Now, it's also time to talk about the next move."
Gazing towards He Song, Wei Fan said seemingly without thinking, but in fact, there was a meaning of explaining to He Song within.
On the side, after hearing these words, He Song also nodded his head, which was considered as recognizing Wei Fan's words.
The three of them, He Song, were always different from the sect elite, Daoist Xuanhe.
It was also true that it was not appropriate to inform him of some hidden matters.
This was especially true when Meng Guan's cultivation had successfully broken through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment and was about to be transferred to the place where the mountain gate was located.
In the unlikely event that Realist Xuanhe knew something and then informed his backers within the Thick Earth Sect.
I'm afraid that things would become unpleasant.
At that time, I'm afraid it would be too late to even regret it.
Instead of that, it would be better to exclude him.
If he couldn't hear it, naturally, he wouldn't be able to leak it.
Realist Xuanhe was sent away to leave by Meng Guan.
Next.
He Song's three people's conversation was naturally much more casual than before.
After ensuring that the trio's conversation would not be overheard by others, the thoughts in Meng Guan's mind after his cultivation breakthrough were then revealed to He Song.
"This time, after breaking through from the middle stage of Foundation Establishment to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, I've already felt a deep sense of lack of residual strength."
"Previously, when I broke through from early to mid Foundation Establishment, the time I spent was just over twenty years."
"Now, when my cultivation broke through from the middle to late Foundation Establishment stage, it took a full thirty-five years."
"Thirty-five years."
"If it were a mortal, thirty-five years might be all he or she has seen in a lifetime."
"Even if one lives longer, it's still most of one's life."
"Even for a Foundation Establishment Mortal such as myself, if we don't have life-extending elixirs to take, our lifespan would be no more than two hundred years."
The three of them sat and talked to each other, but Meng Guan sighed under his breath as he spoke.
Longevity.
It was something that every cultivator needed to face up to.
Although he was no longer a mortal now, but a Foundation Establishment Realist.
However, the lifespan of a Foundation Establishment Real Person was only two hundred years, and if there was a Life Extension Pill, I'm afraid that he could have a three hundred years.
Two hundred loads, three hundred loads.
For mortals, it is already a long lifespan that they dare not even think about.
But for cultivators, especially foundation realm cultivators, this life span is not generous.
Practicing spells takes time.
It takes time to raise one's cultivation level.
Searching for a chance requires time.
Visiting relics naturally required needs as well.
In that case, was this two hundred or three hundred years of longevity really enough?
According to what Meng Guan thought, it was obviously not quite enough.
After sighing, Meng Guan then spoke again.
"At the time of Foundation Establishment, I was already sixty years old, and now that my cultivation has reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment, it has taken me another sixty years or so."
"Calculating like this, I am now over one hundred and twenty."
"After so many years have passed, whether or not I can cultivate to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment in my remaining lifespan, I do have some confidence."
"After all, there are at least seventy years, if not longer, for cultivation."
"But if I want to step onto the Jindan Avenue and get a glimpse of that Jindan's might, I don't have the slightest confidence in my heart."
"Condensing Jindan, the secret method of Jindan, how difficult it is to find."
Speaking here, Meng Guan once again stopped, his eyes looking towards his two best friends beside him.
He Song and Wei Fan, are in the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Workshop, will be good friends with him, the next three is all the way to support each other, until now.
However, the cultivation level of the three of them nowadays was not something that could be compared to before.
Now, the original cultivation of the highest Wei Fan, the cultivation reached the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.
Now, He Song, who had the lowest cultivation, had also reached the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.
Now, Meng Guan, whose cultivation was between the two of them but had not broken through for a long time, had the highest cultivation at the moment, reaching the late Foundation Establishment stage.
Meng Guan at the time, in the cultivation delayed to break through to the late qi cultivation, the heart of the sadness who knows.
Good in.
He chose to fight.
After a fight, the sky is the limit.
He went from the original five spirit root cultivator who found it difficult to break through to the late stage of qi cultivation.
Now the cultivation has reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment, Foundation Establishment real person.
The difference is obvious.
But nowadays.
He was experiencing the same dilemma that he had faced a long, long time ago.
According to his guess, according to his cultivation progress that had begun to slow down nowadays, there was naturally no problem in wanting to successfully break through to the Great Circle of Foundation Establishment.
However, it would be a fool's errand to still have expectations for the Jindan.
It was impossible for the Thick Earth Sect to hand over the precious Gold Condensation Pill, as well as the Secret Method of the Golden Pill, to a loose cultivator to build the foundation.
Therefore, knowing all of this, he actually had a choice in his heart.
Seemingly having made a certain decision in his heart, Meng Guan gazed at the two He Songs in front of him and slowly spoke again.
"Today's cultivation breakthrough, the two friends are here."
"Does it look like once in that Spirit Building Pavilion, when the three of us sat down to sip tea and heard the news of that Red Spirit Gold Mine?"
Speaking here, there was a brilliant light flickering in Meng Guan's eyes.
However, He Song and Wei Fan, who were listening attentively on the side, each raised their heads and glanced at each other at this moment.
Immediately afterward, their gazes were once again placed on Meng Guan's body.
"But today, there isn't another Red Spirit Gold Mine around here either."
Wei Fan was the first to open his mouth and spoke his doubts.
If you want to fight, you have to have a target, right?
Without a target, where to fight?
With such a doubt, Wei Fan gazed at Meng Guan, the doubt in his eyes never dissipating.
However, beside him, He Song slightly narrowed his eyes.
He was different from Wei Fan and Meng Guan.
For the sake of his own safety, he had stepped out of the sphere of influence of the Thick Earth Sect and traveled to other Jindan sects.
Even within the sphere of influence of the Yiyang Sect, an upper YuanYing Sect, to open hidden caves for himself as a way to ensure his own self-safety.
If he were to choose a place where he could obtain the Gold Condensation Dan, as well as the Secret Method of the Gold Dan.
He would definitely choose to head to the sphere of influence of the Yi Yang Sect.
The Yi Yang Sect, after all, was a Yuan Ying Upper Sect.
There were an unknown number of Golden Dan forces within it.
The Condensed Golden Dan, as well as the Golden Dan Secret Methods that existed within it, were naturally more numerous and easier to obtain.
Under such circumstances, when he suddenly heard what Meng Guan had said, He Song's mind immediately flashed back to what he had seen and heard in the Yi Yang Sect.
Within the sphere of influence of a YuanYing Upper Sect such as the YiYang Sect.
Opportunities and such things could be much more abundant than a Jindan sect like the Thick Earth Sect.
He had received more than one message from Su Qian, saying that there were opportunities within Yunzhou.
However, even though He Song had his own opinions about the Yi Yang Sect and had even personally traveled there, He Song did not open his mouth to say anything more.
It just listened silently.
"Nowadays, although there is no more another Red Spirit Gold Mine to fight for, there is another path."
"And that Red Spirit Gold Mine back then wasn't as simple as it looked, the things contained within it were something that even a Jindan True Lord would have to have an eye for."
"At that time, it was considered a fluke of luck that I was able to walk out of that Red Spirit Gold Mine."
"I only truly learned about this matter when I went back to the middle of the Red Spirit Gold Mine later on, having been kept in the dark before."
