“However, since we’re talking about it now, I might as well inform you about this matter.”

“In that Red Spirit Gold Mine, there were many spirit mines I had never even seen before, with the containing Red Spirit Gold merely being one of the most common types.”

“But in order to keep it a secret, it was only announced as a small-scale Red Spirit Gold Mine with low value.”

“Apart from Red Spirit Gold, there are many other precious spirit mines, and even mines that produce materials for refining into Golden Elixir realm spirit artifacts.”

“Therefore, several Foundation Establishment Masters would be stationed there all year round.”

“Otherwise, how could a mere Red Spirit Gold Mine deserve the presence of several Foundation Establishment Masters year after year?”

At this point, Meng Guan’s expression became slightly unusual.

It seemed that he was reminiscing about his days when he was a small leader in the Red Spirit Gold Mine, or perhaps, what he had seen and heard during his time in the mine.

He Song didn’t know what he was thinking.

But as for what Meng Guan had said, a sudden realization flashed through He Song’s mind.

He had long ago felt that something was off about the location of the Red Spirit Gold Mine.

How could a small Red Spirit Gold Mine attract several Thick Earth Sect Foundation Establishment Masters and even provoke the competition of other forces’ Foundation Establishment Masters?

All of this completely defied reason.

However, because he was too weak at the time, and the secret of the Red Spirit Gold Mine had no benefits for him,

he did not delve deeper, and even became apprehensive for a while, thinking that a great battle would break out in the vicinity of the Red Spirit Gold Mine. Although the situation later eased somewhat, as far as He Song was concerned,

he was still deeply impressed by the Red Spirit Gold Mine, which was hundreds of miles away at the time.

Unexpectedly, he now learned from Meng Guan’s words about some previously unknown news.

As these thoughts flashed through He Song’s mind, Meng Guan, who had just finished speaking such a secret in front of him, spoke again.

Putting the topic aside, Meng Guan continued.

“Never mind that, although there isn’t another Red Spirit Gold Mine now, do you two know that in the land to the south of Thick Earth Sect, there’s a Nascent Soul Upper Sect called the Sun Faction?”

“When ordinary people draw qi into their body, they become Qi Refining stage cultivators.”

“Qi Refining stage cultivators convert the spirit power within their bodies into mana, becoming Foundation Establishment Realm Masters.”

“Foundation Establishment Realm Masters condense mana in their bodies into a Golden Elixir, becoming Golden Elixir Masters.”

“Above Golden Elixir Masters… are Ancestor Yuanying.”

“In the Sun Faction, there is an Ancestor Yuanying sitting at the helm; our Sect

Leader, in the eyes of others, I’m afraid, is comparable to how we now see a Qi

Refining stage cultivator.”

“From this, it can be inferred that within the Sun Faction, the number of Golden Elixir forces must be quite a few.”

“If you go to the area under the influence of the Sun Faction, the chances of obtaining Golden Congealing Elixir Pills and Golden Elixir secrets will naturally be much greater than staying in the Thick Earth Sect.”

“Although there is no other Red Spirit Gold Mine now, there is a Nascent Soul Upper Sect.”

At this point, Meng Guan looked at the two people in front of him as if he wanted to see their surprised expressions.

Although this news was not really a secret and could be easily learned with a little more attention, it was Meng Guan’s belief that his two friends, who were usually in seclusive cultivation, couldn’t possibly know about these things.

When he mentioned the Nascent Soul Upper Sect, how could the two not be surprised?

After all, it was an Upper Sect above the Golden Elixir stage.

But to his disappointment, only Wei Fan seemed to be pondering something.

He Song, who was sitting upright next to him, did not react much after hearing his words.

He merely shook his head slightly, then took out two blank jade slips from his storage bag.

He then copied the Cloud State map and the maps of the other three states surrounding Cloud State that he had obtained from Su Qian into the blank jade slips using his divine sense.

In addition, he copied information about the distribution of forces surrounding Cloud State, the various fortunes available nearby, the forces that should not be provoked, the names of powerful cultivators, and the local customs and conditions, among other details.

After doing all of this, He Song finally raised his head and handed a jade slip to each of his two friends before him.

Under He Song’s guidance,

Meng Guan and Wei Fan each extended their divine senses and read all the information in the jade slips.

Immediately afterwards, their expressions changed dramatically.

These things-

He Song had personally gone to the Flying Cloud Immortal Mansion and asked Su Qian to find them for him.

A complete map of Cloud State and the surrounding three states.

As well as the distribution of forces around Cloud State, the locations of surrounding opportunities, etc., all obtained from her. Although the value of these things was not high, they cost He Song only a few spirit stones at the time.

Moreover, once Meng Guan and Wei Fan went to the area under the influence of the Sun Faction, they could easily obtain this information from various Immortal Pavilions.

In other words, these things were neither expensive nor precious,

and could be obtained at any time by visiting an Immortal Pavilion or Immortal City.

Under such circumstances, instead of letting his two friends guess blindly here, it was better to give them this information directly.

This way, they could have a certain understanding of the Sun Faction.

Then, when the two set out for adventure, they would be more at ease.

As for He Song himself, there was no loss.

As for whether the two would speculate on the origin of these things, he didn’t really care.

He could just give a casual excuse to brush it off.

“These things were something I obtained from an outsider cultivator more than ten years ago.”

“Telling you about them today will help you to understand the Nascent Soul Upper Sect.”

“This Cloud State land is the place where the Thick Earth Sect goes south, so it should be useful.”

“I’ll give them to you two.”

When He Song saw that the two had read all the information on the jade slip, he finally spoke.

Meng Guan and Wei Fan had helped him many times in the past.

It was in their hands that he had been transferred to Heaven Power Immortal City this time.

If not for the two of them, He Song would probably still be staying at the Herbs Immortal Workshop, worrying about an attack from the Demon Sect. How could he possibly be in Heaven Power Immortal City at ease?

Giving these worthless things to the two of them was just a matter of circumstance. He Song just happened to have these things.

Hearing He Song’s words,

Meng Guan and Wei Fan looked at each other and saw a sudden realization in each other’s eyes.

So that’s how it was.

Since He Song said that he had got this from a foreign cultivator more than a decade ago, these things should be genuine.

After all, such detailed information – if it wasn’t real, how could He Song possibly get it?

Knowing He Song’s character,

If he wasn’t forced to, He Song would never risk leaving the Thick Earth Sect.

When He Song left the Thick Earth Sect to create his own hidden cave mansion, he was really forced to.

If he didn’t personally go to create a hidden cave mansion and familiarize himself with the outside world,

If there really was a battle, he wouldn’t even know where to escape.

With his eyes in the dark, he would be like a headless fly running around aimlessly.

Doing so in the midst of a war would be no different from committing suicide.

It was precisely because of this that He Song had to personally come out and create a hidden cave mansion for himself.

“Alright, thank you, fellow daoist. With the map and other information you provided, I should have a better understanding of my surroundings when travelling outside.”

“This map arrived just in time.”

After thanking He Song, Meng Guan paused for a moment, and the gleam in his eyes shone even brighter.

He continued,

“Initially, I planned to wait until my Late Foundation Establishment Stage’s power was stable before setting off on my own to the south to seek out the Sun Faction for opportunities.”

“Now, with your help, I’ve obtained a map of the four states in advance, and I have a greater chance of success.”

“In the Nascent Soul Upper Sect, there are many Golden Elixir forces. So, the chances of obtaining Golden Congealing Elixir Pills and Golden Elixir techniques should be much higher than in the Thick Earth Sect.”

“In that case, after properly preparing ourselves, we will embark on the journey to find opportunities.”

“Friends, it seems we will part ways again in a few years.”

As Meng Guan’s voice fell,

In the small pavilion,

He Song remained silent, and there was no surprise in Wei Fan’s eyes.

What Meng Guan said was something both of them had expected long ago.

He Song had thought about this day ever since learning about the difference between Loose Cultivation Base Building and Sect elites.

But he didn’t expect

That Meng Guan would speak about this matter to him and Wei Fan right after breaking through the Late Foundation Establishment stage. However, thinking about it, He Song was relieved.

Meng Guan.

Master Duan Hun.

Duan Hun’s title was earned through his own skills.

With his self-confidence in his combat power, combined with his cultivation reaching the Late Foundation Establishment stage, Meng Guan should be able to walk the world with ease.

Given his character, it’s no surprise that he decided to set off in search of opportunities right after stabilizing his Late Foundation Establishment power.

He had taken a risk during the Qi Refining stage,

That time, he succeeded in the gamble,

And he had built his foundation.

Now, his cultivation has reached the Late Foundation Establishment stage.

If there were no other opportunities, he might be trapped in Foundation Establishment Great Perfection for a lifetime, never reaching the Golden Core Realm.

At this time, it wasn’t strange for him to choose to take a risk again.

He Song and Wei Fan had been prepared in their hearts, they were just waiting for Meng Guan to say this himself.

Of course, there wouldn’t be any surprised expressions.

But this time, Meng Guan was gambling on the Golden Core Realm,

If successful,

Then the Golden Core is within reach!

If failed,

Then he is nothing but bones!

He Song didn’t know if Meng Guan could succeed,

But Wei Fan was pondering on the side, if he, like Meng Guan, also risked his life to gamble, what would be his chances of reaching the Golden Elixir stage?

During the Foundation Establishment phase, Wei Fan had the four spirit roots and had one chance to try Foundation Establishment,

So, at that time, he didn’t gamble like Meng Guan did with his life on the line.

Eventually, with the help of Meng Guan and He Song, he succeeded in entering the Foundation Establishment stage.

One could say, he was incredibly lucky,

That’s why, he named himself Master Cheng Fu.

Cheng, naturally, was a reference to the blessings from his two good friends.

But now,

He had reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and his cultivation level had even reached the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment.

When he breaks through to the Late Foundation Establishment stage, could he, like Meng Guan, go elsewhere to seek new opportunities?
