Despite his chubby appearance, which made him seem harmless to both humans and animals.
In the Cultivation World, to maintain such a figure, one either willingly chooses to do so.
Or there are specific cultivation skills that allow this person to maintain this shape constantly.
In other words.
Either this person has a deep mind, habitually using his appearance as a disguise to make others less vigilant.
Or this person is practicing a special skill, strong but can only maintain this shape.
Regardless of which situation Master Bi Shui is in, it means he is not as easy to provoke as he looks.
After keeping this warning in mind, He Song nodded and replied.
“My humble name is Hong Feng, I’ve met fellow Daoist Bi Shui. Please go ahead.”
This time, He Song did not mention his real name, Master Cang Song, nor did he use any previous pseudonyms.
Instead, he made up a new dharma title, Master Hong Feng, to keep his identity hidden.
The reason was, of course, that He Song’s cultivation had changed from Qi Refining stage to Foundation Establishment Realm.
As Foundation Establishment cultivators, when greeting other Foundation Establishment cultivators, most of them use dharma titles.
Such as Master Bi Shui and Master Hong Feng.
If He Song now introduced himself as Chen Zhou or any other name, it would immediately arouse Master Bi Shui’s investigative gaze.
Therefore, as a last resort, He Song had to adapt to the situation and made up a dharma title to deal with the matter at hand.
“Fellow Daoist Hong Feng, please.”
Under Master Bi Shui’s guidance, the two quickly arrived at a luxurious place within the Treasure Pavilion.
He Song guessed that this place might be specially prepared for Foundation Establishment cultivators by the Treasure Pavilion.
Whenever he visited the Treasure Pavilion in other Immortal Cities, He Song went as a Qi Refining cultivator, so naturally, he never had the privilege to enter.
Only when he was in Heaven Power Immortal City, did He Song enter a similar place when visiting their Treasure Pavilion.
It seemed that this place was the same as before, specifically designed for entertaining Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Soon.
Under Master Bi Shui’s guidance, He Song took their seats.
After tea was served and they exchanged pleasantries, Master Bi Shui began to inquire about He Song’s purpose.
“I don’t know why fellow Daoist Hong Feng is here? Is there anything I can help with?”
After some pleasantries, the atmosphere between the two was no longer as unfamiliar as before.
Now when Master Bi Shui speaks, it feels more like casual chatting between friends, and the atmosphere is quite harmonious.
Seeing this, He Song sighed inwardly.
Master Bi Shui was indeed a veteran in dealing with people. In just a short time, he managed to eliminate any previous distance between them.
On the contrary, the atmosphere turned comfortable as if chatting with a friend.
However, to become the Sub-Pavilion Master of the Treasure Pavilion here, Master Bi Shui would naturally need more than just achieving a certain level of cultivation.
Presumably, even before he became the Sub-Pavilion Master, he was already a versatile individual during the Qi Refining stage.
“I don’t have any other business here. I just happened to have some Foundation Establishment spirit elixirs to sell.”
“They are Earth Spirit Elixirs, fellow Daoist can take a good look, and then give a price.”
“If it’s suitable, I’ll sell it to you.”
“But let’s be clear, if the price you offer is not satisfactory, I’ll have no choice but to look elsewhere.”
As He Song spoke, he casually took out ten jade bottles from his storage bag and placed them on the table.
With a thought, the ten bottles of Earth Spirit Elixirs were immediately pushed towards Master Bi Shui.
This time, He Song was selling Foundation Establishment spirit elixirs, Earth Spirit Elixirs.
Not the spirit rice he sold before.
There was nothing much to say about spirit rice. With its large quantity, He Song naturally accepted if someone tried to bargain for it.
But Earth Spirit Elixirs were different.
As a Foundation Establishment elixir, Earth Spirit Elixirs had a relatively good market among Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Back then, He Song had to spend a thousand spirit stones for each bottle of Earth Spirit Elixir.
Under such circumstances, if Master Bi Shui wants to lower the price, He Song will grant him no such favor.
However, if the price is reasonable, it’s not impossible to sell all the Earth Spirit Elixirs he’s carrying here.
If the cooperation goes well, He Song might even buy the spirit medicine required for refining Earth Spirit Elixirs here.
Apart from these ten bottles, He Song still had many Earth Spirit Elixirs on him.
In total, he had more than a hundred bottles.
All of them were obtained from the Earth Spirit Elixirs he had been refining over the past three years.
Although his success rate in refining Earth Spirit Elixirs wasn’t high, the accumulated amount was still quite significant.
Consuming a vast amount of spirit medicine would naturally bring He Song some income.
Although he wasted a lot, after all, it was not all wasted.
Up ahead.
Upon hearing He Song’s words and seeing that he casually took out ten bottles of Earth Spirit Elixirs, Master Bi Shui was secretly moved.
Although the value of these ten bottles was not too high, judging by He Song’s words, he should have more than just these on him.
As for him suddenly obtaining these Earth Spirit Elixirs, Master Bi Shui just smiled faintly and didn’t take it to heart.
Which Early Foundation Establishment Cultivator, who obtained some Earth Spirit Elixirs by chance, wouldn’t take it for themselves?
Why would he instead sell them here?
In his view, He Song had the cultivation of the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, there was no reason for this.
Unless…He Song was backed by a master of elixir refining, and that master entrusted these elixirs to him for sale.
This guess was not without reason, but after thinking it over, Master Bi Shui felt that another guess was more likely.
That is, He Song himself was a master of elixir refining.
This guess could perfectly explain why He Song, after obtaining so many Earth Spirit Elixirs, didn’t use them himself, but chose to sell them here instead.
However, he couldn’t figure it out.
Why would He Song walk around with the cultivation of Foundation Establishment Early Stage?
Masters of elixir refining were usually cultivated by major powers; small powers did not have the strength to cultivate a master of elixir refinement.
Almost all masters of elixir refinement were tightly guarded in the safest places by the major powers.
How could it be possible for someone like the current Master Hong Feng, with a cultivation at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, to reveal themselves so openly?
Could it be that he had guessed wrong again?
With a trace of doubt in his mind, a hint of curiosity appeared in Master Bi Shui’s eyes as he looked at He Song.
He wanted to test whether this man was really a master of elixir refining.
But before that.
First, he would inspect the ten Foundation Establishment Spirit Elixirs in front of himself.
Thinking of this, Master Bi Shui squinted his eyes and smiled at He Song.
“Fellow daoist, please wait a moment. I will have someone come and check. We will definitely not cheat you.”
While speaking, Master Bi Shui’s fingers moved slightly.
Soon, a man walked in from outside.
After paying respects to He Song and Master Bi Shui, the man quickly began to inspect the Earth Spirit Elixirs on the table.
Seeing this, He Song remained calm and watchful as the man opened the elixir bottles one by one for inspection.
When the inspection was over, the man bowed and spoke.
“Reporting to the Pavilion Master, these elixirs are all normal Earth Spirit Elixirs, with no abnormalities.’
“According to market price, each bottle is worth about 1000 spirit stones.”
As the man’s words fell, He Song’s expression remained unchanged, while a trace of satisfaction flashed in his heart.
As expected, Treasure Pavilion was reliable in its business dealings.
At least they did not heavily cut the price of the Earth Spirit Elixirs he had refined.
According to He Song’s understanding, the price of Earth Spirit Elixirs generally fluctuated around 1000 spirit stones.
The price given by this man was exactly within He Song’s expectations.
However, just as He Song was feeling satisfied, Master Bi Shui’s face changed and he scolded,
“Who do you think you are to teach me how to do things?”
“I had you come here just to check the quantity of these elixirs.”
“Who told you to appraise them?”
“Get out!”
With a series of harsh scoldings, Master Bi Shui kicked and chased the man out.
Then he immediately put on a smiling face and bowed again and again to He Song.
“I have truly made a fool of myself in front of fellow daoist. My subordinate is ignorant; I hope you won’t take offense, Master Hong Feng.”
“I don’t know how many more Earth Spirit Elixirs fellow daoist has. I’ll buy them all at 1000, no, 1050 spirit stones per bottle.”
“I hope Master Hong Feng won’t mind and visit us often in the future.”
As he said this, Master Bi Shui continued to bow to He Song, showing his friendliness.
It seemed as if he really thought that the man had offended He Song earlier and wanted to apologize.
However, having fought his way up from the bottom, He Song, now with his cultivation and status, could have seen through the current situation, right?
This Master Bi Shui was trying to stuff him with some more spirit stones by using this incident.
So that he would remember his kindness and continue to come to him to sell Earth Spirit Elixirs in the future if he got any more.
As for him kicking and chasing the man who appraised the Earth Spirit Elixir out,
It was nothing more than a show for He Song to see, hoping that he would feel justified in accepting the spirit stones.
Although an additional fifty spirit stones per bottle might not seem like a lot, if He Song had a lot of Earth Spirit Elixirs, the total added up would not be a small amount.
From Master Bi Shui’s last sentence about visiting often, He Song could hear the hidden meaning behind it.
However,
Seeing the present situation, He Song didn’t refuse.
It’s a benefit that comes for free; there’s no reason to turn it down.
Moreover, after Master Bi Shui’s performance, He Song made up his mind.
He could sell all of the hundred or so Earth Spirit Elixirs he had refined here.
Fifty extra spirit stones per bottle would be a pity not to take.
But for the subsequent purchase of spirit medicines needed to refine Earth Spirit Elixirs, he would need to go to another Immortal City to buy them.
This place was not a place to stay for long.
Master Bi Shui had clearly become suspicious of his identity, only then creating such a scene to probe something.
In that case, how could He Song give him any more opportunities to probe?
