Meng Guan seemed to have anticipated He Song’s praise, and before He Song could speak, he was already introducing the wonders of the spirit tea here.
Seeing this, He Song nodded slightly, his heart touched by Meng Guan’s thoughtfulness.
Knowing his love for spirit tea, Meng Guan brought him to taste it as soon as he arrived in Cloud State Mansion.
Needless to say, Meng Guan’s gesture made He Song feel quite comfortable.
“Indeed, the spirit tea here has a unique flavor and also has the effect of refreshing one’s mind. It’s truly rare.”
“As expected, Cloud State, being the location of the state mansion, has things that can’t be compared to remote places like Heaven Power Immortal City.” “This journey has been quite an eye-opener for me.”
After praising the spirit tea, He Song shook his head, recalling everything he had seen in Heaven Power Immortal City and feeling quite moved. Cloud State Mansion and Heaven Power Immortal City are vastly different in many ways.
Even the Treasure Pavilion in both places is divided into main and branch pavilions.
Moreover, there is a Golden Elixir Master in Cloud State Mansion, with even Golden Elixir families residing there.
Given these circumstances, the prosperity of Cloud State Mansion is indeed beyond the comparison of Heaven Power Immortal City.
Furthermore, Cloud State Mansion governs more than twenty immortal cities, supported by their collective strength, which explains its bustling prosperity.
After comparing Cloud State Mansion with Heaven Power Immortal City in his mind, the winner was clear.
As for Meng Guan, he didn’t say much more, only smiling, and then pouring another cup of tea for He Song.
Afterward, their conversation mostly revolved around the prosperity of Cloud State, the distribution of major forces within it, and some other hidden matters.
He Song’s purpose for coming here was to attend the main pavilion’s auction of Treasure Pavilion in Cloud State.
Meng Guan was well aware of this.
After He Song set out, he told Meng Guan about it.
Attending an auction is not a secret matter, so He Song naturally didn’t conceal it too much.
Moreover, informing Meng Guan of this would allow him to potentially help He Song at critical moments due to his many years of experience and understanding of Cloud State Mansion.
He Song would certainly not let go of such an opportunity that would benefit him without any harm.
After a pleasant conversation,
Meng Guan took He Song back to his residence in Cloud State Mansion.
From today until He Song’s departure, they would be staying together.
Fortunately, Meng Guan’s residence was large enough for the two of them to live together without disturbing one another too much.
In Cloud State Mansion, with a Golden Elixir Master present, Foundation Establishment Masters, like Meng Guan, could be considered prominent figures, but still pale in comparison to a Golden Elixir Master.
As a result, Meng Guan’s residence in Cloud State Mansion, although already quite large, was still far from being comparable to that of a Golden Elixir Master.
During their conversation, He Song learned that the mountains and lakes within Cloud State Mansion actually had their These Golden Elixir Masters inhabited these areas, and their disciples, as well as noble family members, also multiplied and thrived there.
It could be said that those mountains and lakes, which could be seen from afar as a symbol of status and position, were all occupied.
If not related to a Golden Elixir Master, it would be impossible to live there. At this, He Song felt a bit emotional, but also found it quite normal.
As a Golden Elixir Master, having a spacious residence posed no problem.
After all, even Foundation Establishment Masters could own a massive residence with pavilions, artificial mountains, and flowing water.
Being a Foundation Establishment Master himself, he had naturally enjoyed such luxury.
Therefore, he didn’t find it too surprising that Golden Elixir Masters occupied mountains and lakes.
Under Meng Guan’s guidance, they arrived at his residence, where he arranged accommodations for He Song. After settling in,
Meng Guan took his leave.
He Song,
quickly remembered the jade slip he had received from Master Luo Jing in Heaven Power Immortal City.
Now that he was in Cloud State Mansion, it was indeed time to give the jade slip to the friend mentioned by Master Luo Jing.
With that thought, He Song’s hand moved, and the jade slip he had kept in his storage bag instantly appeared in his hand.
As his gaze swept over the jade slip, a trace of curiosity unconsciously emerged in He Song’s heart.
What exactly was recorded in this jade slip?
However, his curiosity was quickly snuffed out.
He had promised Master Luo Jing before leaving Heaven Power Immortal City that he would not look into the information within the jade slip.
Wouldn’t it be stealing if he looked at it now?
After all, this jade slip was from Master Luo Jing, not his own possession.
Taking something without permission is stealing.
With this thought in mind, He Song shook his head, and put the jade slip back into his storage bag.
Then, a thin piece of paper appeared in his hand.
The mana at the tip of his fingers surged, and lines of text appeared on the paper immediately.
“I am entrusted by Master Luo Jing to deliver a jade slip to Cloud State Mansion. I hope you, my friend, can reveal yourself so I can properly hand over the jade slip.”
“He Song.”
With the appearance of the writing, He Song placed the paper in the Sound Transmission Amulet, and then a spurt of mana caused the thin sheet within the amulet to vanish.
At this very moment.
In the Cloud State Treasure Pavilion, a gorgeously dressed woman took out her Sound Transmission Amulet and removed a thin sheet of paper from it.
Her beautiful eyes scanned the lines of writing on the sheet, and her eyebrows raised slightly.
“He’s here so soon? It seems that this fellow daoist, as my senior sister said, hasn’t stopped along the way.”
“According to my senior sister, this daoist loves tea.”
“She also says that he has a good character and is worth befriending.”
“In that case, let’s meet at the Flowers Tea House.”
“On the spot, I’ll verify the goods and see if he truly is a person of good character as my senior sister said.”
Muttering a few words under her breath, the gorgeously dressed woman released mana from her hand, and the paper instantly turned to dust and dispersed with the wind.
Once that was done, the gorgeously dressed woman took out another thin sheet of paper, greeted He Song on it, and set a meeting at the Flowers Tea House.
After sending the paper in her hand to He Song through the Sound Transmission Amulet, she left the Treasure Pavilion.
From the direction she was heading, it seemed that she was going directly to the Flowers Tea House.
At Meng Guan’s mansion.
Having received the communication for the meeting at the Flowers Tea House, He Song didn’t know where the tea house was, but that was not a problem for him.
After asking Meng Guan, He Song quickly learned that the distance between Flowers Tea House and Meng Guan’s mansion was not far.
Following some directions, He Song found the exact location of the Flowers Tea House in his mind.
After confirming the position.
He Song bid farewell to Meng Guan and headed toward the Flowers Tea House.
When a Master of Foundation Establishment travels, as long as he doesn’t encounter a Golden Elixir Master, the journey is smooth and unimpeded.
Although He Song’s displayed strength was only Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, even if he were at that stage, he would still be considered an established Foundation Establishment Master.
Mortals and Qi-refining cultivators alike would still bow respectively when they saw He Song and address him as Master.
But He Song was already used to this and paid little attention to it.
On this journey, He Song had not met even a single Foundation Establishment Master.
Consequently, He Song, who had previously thought Foundation Establishment Masters were not so special in the Cloud State Mansion, subconsciously elevated the status of Foundation Establishment Masters in this place.
Established Foundation Masters were still regarded as such, even in the Cloud State Mansion; the number of Foundation Establishment Masters wasn’t as high as He Song had imagined.
His previous impression was simply because he assumed that since there were Golden Elixir Masters presiding over the area, there would be many Foundation Establishment Masters.
Now it seemed that the number of Foundation Establishment Masters was not as great as he initially thought.
The status of Foundation Establishment Masters in the eyes of other cultivators had not changed much; they still remained aloof and revered.
The dividing line between Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment was indeed a watershed that blocked countless cultivators.
While there are many Foundation Establishment Masters in Cloud State Mansion, it is only because there are even more cultivators in Cloud State Mansion.
Considering the immense size of Cloud State and its vast cultivator population, it is natural that there will be more Foundation Establishment Masters.
The ratio between Foundation Establishment Masters and Qi-refining cultivators has not changed significantly anywhere. Understanding these facts, He Song continued on his way.
Soon.
He arrived at the location of the Flowers Tea House.
As soon as he entered.
A gorgeously dressed woman appeared before He Song’s eyes.
Her face was delicately made up, making her features appear extremely refined, with a hazy charm in her eyes that made one want to take a closer look.
Her red dress accentuated her perfect figure, and with her nearly flawless body paired with her exquisite face, she was extremely eye-catching.
However, most immortal cultivators had beautiful appearances, so not many people paid attention to her.
In the Cultivation World, beauty was not a rare commodity.
Any Yin cultivator one could find on the side of the road, when placed in the mortal world, would be a peerless beauty.
For immortal cultivators, it is one’s cultivation level that is more important.
Glancing at the gorgeously dressed woman, He Song perceived the aura on her body and recognized her as the Yin cultivator who had contacted him earlier.
She was Master Luo Jing’s junior sister.
Seeing that He Song appeared to recognize her, the gorgeously dressed woman grinned and promptly spoke.
“Mr. He, please follow me. I have prepared tea and have been waiting for you.” As the gorgeously dressed woman spoke, she proceeded to the second floor of the tea house.
Seeing this, He Song naturally followed along.
On the second floor.
In a luxuriously decorated private room.
He Song and the gorgeously dressed woman sat face-to-face, sipping tea. The surrounding attendants had already been dismissed by the two.
“My dharma title is Yun Jing.”
“I heard from my senior sister that you came to Cloud State Mansion this time to attend the once-in-ten-years auction. Is that true, Mr. He?”
As the scent of tea filled the air, Master Yun Jing’s crisp voice echoed within the private room..
