Chapter 854: Chapter 629 Nascent Soul Meeting_1
He Song’s gathered information was indeed correct.
Half a month later, within the Main Pavilion of the Treasure Pavilion in Smoke-Cloud State Mansion, a grand auction that took place once every ten years would be convened.
At this auction, the semi-finished Gold Core Puppet that He Song had heard of would be put up for sale.
Although He Song had not found out who had brought this semi-finished Gold Core Puppet,
for him, that was not crucial.
The existence of such a puppet was the important reason He Song came out of seclusive cultivation to attend the auction.
After confirming the accuracy of the news, He Song quietly returned to his mansion.
He went to his usual spot where he often sat and sipped tea.
His eyes were profound,
but his hands were swift, and he soon brewed himself a pot of Golden Elixir spirit tea.
As wisps of the tea’s fragrance began to permeate the surroundings,
He Song, smelling the aroma at the tip of his nose, couldn’t help but sigh.
“This Golden Elixir spirit tea, although its effects on improving cultivation are quite significant, that’s all there is to it.”
“What a pity that the Moon Watching Spiritual Tea given by Master Qing Feng all those years ago has been exhausted throughout these twenty years.”
“Otherwise, the effects of the Moon Watching Spiritual Tea could completely replace this Golden Elixir spirit tea.”
“Though the Moon Watching Spiritual Tea is but a Foundation Establishment spirit tea,”
“the density of spirit Qi within it is not low, indeed slightly inferior to this Golden Elixir spirit tea, but also having other effects.”
“If possible, I would truly use the Moon Watching Spiritual Tea in place of this Golden Elixir spirit tea.”
“Moreover, consuming Moon Watching Spiritual Tea over a long period can significantly aid oneself in various mind-consuming practices.”
“After twenty long years of seclusion, the Moon Watching Spiritual Tea once received from Master Qing Feng has also been utterly consumed.”
“Now, I do not know where to seek it.”
Holding a cup of spirit tea, He Song drank it in one gulp, and his mind recalled Master Qing Feng at that moment.
He had not seen him for twenty years.
Throughout the twenty years of He Song’s reclusion, to remove his own influence from this place, he had not communicated with anyone.
He would occasionally reach out with his divine sense, to check his surroundings and hear about people’s departures, nothing more.
Beyond that, he had had no interaction with anyone within Luo Feng Province’s state mansion.
In such circumstances,
He Song had no certainty about whether Master Qing Feng was still in this place,
or whether he could still, as he had twenty years ago, bring him a box of Moon Watching Spiritual Tea with just a single request from himself.
However, thinking of this, He Song shook his head.
The reason for He Song’s seclusion twenty years ago was actually to allow his reputation here to gradually fade away,
to become less noticeable.
Although He Song was out of seclusion now,
his intention remained unchanged.
Therefore, regarding those old friends within Luo Feng Province’s state mansion, He Song had not thought about immediately contacting them.
aside from the people within Luo Feng Province’s state mansion,
He Song still had several good friends elsewhere.
Thinking of Master Qing Feng and the Moon Watching Spiritual Tea gifted by him,
images of those few friends naturally flashed through He Song’s mind.
During the twenty years of He Song’s seclusion,
the situation in the outside world had changed dramatically.
On the eighth year of He Song’s retreat,
Elder Phantom Snow of the Wind Snow Palace had convened the Nascent Soul Meeting that she had spoken of before.
This Nascent Soul Meeting seemed to be extraordinarily lively.
He Song’s several friends also took the opportunity to invite him to the Area of Influence of the Wind Snow Palace for a gathering.
Meng Guan and Wei Fan both sent messages to He Song, saying they would attend the Nascent Soul Meeting with Yi Yangzi,
and they invited He Song to join them, where they could also spend time together.
It had been many decades since He Song had last seen them.
To Meng Guan and Wei Fan, this Nascent Soul Meeting was a rare chance to meet.
Unfortunately though,
at that time, He Song was in the midst of seclusion and had already decided not to participate in the Nascent Soul Meeting.
Naturally, He Song could only send messages to decline courteously, stating that he was at a crucial moment in his cultivation.
Therefore, Meng Guan and Wei Fan gave up, only telling He Song to continue his cultivation in peace.
They would discuss the matter of meeting another time.
Apart from Meng Guan and Wei Fan,
the most enthusiastic in inviting He Song was An Ning.
With Elder Phantom Snow convening the Nascent Soul Meeting, An Ning, as a disciple of the Wind Snow Palace, naturally hoped to see He Song’s name on the visitors’ list.
He Song had done a great favor for An Ning.
And An Ning held great respect for He Song in return.
In such a context, An Ning had invited He Song to the Nascent Soul Meeting many times.
Just counting the number of invitations, An Ning was definitely in the lead.
Even though He Song kept refusing, An Ning persisted relentlessly.
It wasn’t until He Song repeatedly explained that he was indeed at a critical stage of his seclusion that An Ning finally let it go.
However, even so, An Ning would still occasionally lament in her letters, saying that He Song would miss out on many treasures if he did not attend this time.
Being from the Wind Snow Palace, she had prepared quite a few nice things for He Song this time.
