Chapter 241 - 241: 233: Play a Steady Hand
If the Foundation Establishment cultivator guarding the Golden Snake Immortal Mansion covets the spirit stones on his body and tries to take them
away.
With his current capabilities, he might find it difficult to kill such an opponent.
In that case, he might have to use the Blood Escape Skill to flee this place.
Although such a situation is unlikely to happen, it is better to be prepared.
After some consideration, He Song decided to take precautions and set up three arrays in a small valley several tens of miles away from the Golden Snake Immortal Mansion.
A Smoke Array.
A Seven Kills Heaven Fire Array.
A Sea-Stabilizing and Spirit-Orienting Array.
With the assistance of these three arrays, combined with his current mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation and the assistance of the Four Great Spirit Puppets.
Even if the extremely unlikely situation he thought of occurs, he would be able to effortlessly kill the intruders under the circumstances.
Even if nothing happens, there will be no loss in making such arrangements.
With this in mind, He Song, after setting up the three arrays, once again confirms that his outward appearance is that of a seventh-tier Qi Refining cultivator, and there are no obvious marks on his black robe.
He then changes his appearance and stature again.
After transforming himself into an ordinary cultivator in a black robe with a well-proportioned figure and wearing a black hat,
He Song nods his head in satisfaction with his current disguise.
At this moment, He Song appears to outsiders as a seventh-tier Qi Refining, well-proportioned figure who likes to hide his face under a black robe.
Such a disguise is quite common in the Cultivation World.
Naturally, no one would associate him with a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Which of the ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators isn’t high and mighty, and how could they possibly, like He Song, deliberately hide their cultivation level?
After completing all this, He Song uses the Mountain Wind Riding Skill, and his entire person instantly heads towards the direction of the Golden Snake Immortal Mansion.
Dozens of miles pass by in the blink of an eye.
Soon enough, He Song enters the Golden Snake Immortal Mansion.
As his outward cultivation base is at the seventh-tier Qi Refining stage, he does not encounter any troublesome people on his way.
Spiritual Medicine Pavilion.
Upon entering, He Song, clad in a black robe, is quickly invited into a VIP room by a steward of the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion.
Inside the VIP room,
“I am Sun Yu, the steward of the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion. May I know the purpose of your visit?”
Sun Yu bows to He Song, asks inquisitively while brewing tea for him at the same time.
As the fragrance of tea fills the VIP room,
He Song opens his mouth as well.
“I am a loose cultivator named Chen Zhou. I am here to sell some spirit rice. Is that possible?”
Without hiding anything, He Song directly states his purpose.
At this point in time, he is no longer the same person as before.
If, when he was at the Qi Refining stage, he was always apprehensive about selling spirit rice for fear of attracting the covetousness of Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators,
Now, his cultivation has reached the mid-stage Foundation Establishment stage.
With the backing of his mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, He Song naturally has no significant concerns about selling some spirit rice.
There are more than a dozen tons of spirit rice on his body, which amounts to just over ten thousand spirit stones.
If a Foundation Establishment cultivator couldn’t protect over ten thousand spirit stones, what kind of immortal cultivation would that be?
Even if he attracts the covetousness of the Foundation Establishment cultivators here, he has already set up arrays in advance.
By then, luring the other party into the array,
Perhaps,
The Foundation Establishment cultivator here would become the first one to die at He Song’s hands.
It is precisely because he has taken all aspects into consideration and feels that there will be no danger, that He Song has come here boldly for the transaction.
“Yes, of course, how much spirit rice do you have? Our pavilion’s purchase price is 90% of the market price. Would that be acceptable to you?”
Seeing that He Song is not here to buy items but to sell them, Sun Yu initially shows a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
But when he hears that He Song is selling spirit rice, the disappointment in Sun Yu’s eyes disappears instantly, and a smile spreads across his face.
His attitude also becomes warmer while speaking.
Upon seeing this,
He Song feels a slight surprise in his heart, but he only becomes slightly cautious and then puts it out of his mind.
Regardless of where this attitude comes from, he is just here to sell spirit rice.
If any incidents occur afterward,
With his cultivation and the preparations he has made, there is nothing to worry about.
With this thought, He Song nods his head.
“I have a total of more than ten tons of spirit rice. Please hand me a bigger storage bag, otherwise there won’t be enough space.”
“As for the price, 90% will do.”
Regarding the Immortal Pavilion’s purchase price for the spirit rice, He Song has sold spirit rice many times before and naturally knows the price.
However, because he doesn’t have any other storage bags on him. he has to ask
Sun Yu to come and fetch a larger storage bag for him for the spirit rice.
He had a large storage bag but as a cultivator, He Song would never let other people examine his personal storage bag.
To sell it, he could only ask Sun Yu to fetch another storage bag, then transfer the spirit rice into that bag for the transaction.
Upon hearing this, Sun Yu immediately nodded.
“Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment, I’ll go get it now.”
Sun Yu bowed to He Song, handed him a cup of tea, and then left the room.
Seeing this, He Song pondered for a moment, and his divine sense hidden in the Mud Palace Pellet slightly probed out, sensing the surroundings.
Before, without divine sense, even if He Song wanted to know other people’s actions, he could not do so.
But now…
As a Foundation Establishment Master, all he needed to do was probe out with his divine sense to learn other people’s actions.
Of course, after probing out with his divine sense, he must not directly contact other cultivators.
Otherwise, they would instantly notice it.
He needed to probe out with his divine sense, bypass the shadows of every cultivator and sense their movements using the sensitivity of his divine sense to the surroundings.
By doing so, even though He Song was still in the VIP room, he could still know Sun Yu’s movements and even hear the sound of him talking.
Although this method wasn’t as precise as vision.
But it was enough to grasp other people’s actions.
With divine senses.
No matter what Sun Yu did, He Song would know immediately, and could respond accordingly without the other party noticing it.
Of course, He Song could do this here because the cultivators in the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion had low cultivation levels.
If it were in a place with Foundation Establishment Masters, He Song’s actions would likely be noticed in an instant.
By that time…
Under He Song’s divine sense perception.
Sun Yu quickly went straight to the storage room after leaving the VIP room.
In the storage room, he took out a large cargo storage bag.
Then he headed back to the VIP room.
Seeing Sun Yu’s actions, He Song’s eyes flashed with understanding.
This person…
Apparently, he didn’t have any bad ideas about the hundreds of thousands of jin of spirit rice in his hands.
If he had, he would have taken action when leaving the VIP room or even when arriving at the storeroom of the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion.
Not like now, where he just walked from the VIP room to the storage room without any actions along the way.
Realizing this, He Song withdrew his divine sense and waited for Sun Yu’s return.
Soon.
Sun Yu appeared at the entrance of the VIP room.
He handed the cargo storage bag he had just fetched to He Song, while his expression remained unchanged, and his gaze fell on He Song.
It seemed he wanted to see where He Song had stored the hundreds of thousands of jin of spirit rice.
As for this, He Song didn’t hide it.
He directly took the cargo storage bag and with a thought, the hundreds of thousands of jin of spirit rice stored in his own storage bag immediately fell into the cargo storage bag.
When all the hundreds of thousands of jin of spirit rice had fallen into the cargo storage bag, He Song handed the cargo storage bag back to Sun Yu. As Sun Yu took the storage bag, he plunged his divine sense into it.
Suddenly, astonishment flashed across his eyes.
However, he quickly concealed the surprise, and a smile appeared on his face.
“Fellow Daoist is selling a total of one hundred and twenty-one thousand jin of spirit rice, which should be worth twelve thousand one hundred spirit stones. According to the market price of 90%, it’s worth ten thousand eight hundred and ninety spirit stones.”
“As a steward of the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion, I can help Fellow Daoist add ten spirit stones, making it a total of ten thousand nine hundred spirit stones.
How about it?”
Saying this, Sun Yu looked at he Song to see his reaction. To this, He Song merely showed an astonished expression, seemingly in agreement.
However, deep down, He Song thought of the stewards who traded spirit rice with him in the past.
Those without ill intentions would usually try their best to get some kickbacks.
Those who didn’t want kickbacks usually had ulterior motives.
This Sun Yu in front of him…
Seemed to not be as good as he thought.
This thought flashed through his mind, but He Song remained expressionless and didn’t say anything.
Seeing He Song agree to the price, Sun Yu nodded, placed the cargo storage bag back on the table, and smiled at He Song again.
“Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment. I will go to the warehouse once more to fetch your spirit stones.”
After saying this, Sun Yu turned to leave.
However, the moment Sun Yu left the VIP room, He Song probed out with his divine sense again, sensing Sun Yu’s every move.
Sun Yu didn’t do anything out of the ordinary just now.
Even the cargo storage bag containing the spirit rice was unreservedly placed on the table in front of He Song.
But He Song had already grown suspicious.
He himself had once been a steward of the Immortal Pavilion, and although he hadn’t held that position for long, he knew the twists and turns of various Immortal Pavilions.
Now, not only did Sun Yu not take any kickback, but he also displayed no abnormalities, naturally arousing He Song’s suspicion. Could it be that Sun Yu had greater schemes in mind?
