Chapter 313: Chapter 305: Eager to Return
Translator: 549690339
After her moment of realization, a mix of complex emotions flashed across Master Yun Jing’s face, she then hurriedly invited He Song to a welcoming banquet that she had long prepared.
The banquet to welcome and refresh He Song.
It wasn’t something she planned on a whim.
Instead, it was a feast she had prepared when Master Luo Jing informed her to take good care of He Song.
Faced with Master Yun Jing’s invitation, He Song hesitated slightly.
To tell the truth.
After he got the jade slip, he wanted to leave Cloud State immediately.
The banquet, the invitation, and other menial things were not his concerns.
Since he had achieved his goal, why should he continue to stay in Cloud State? However, seeing the look of expectations in Master Yun Jing’s eyes, and hearing her say that the banquet had been prepared in advance.
Moreover, it was specifically prepared for him.
He suddenly felt that it was inappropriate to leave at this moment.
She was specially prepared a banquet for him, he couldn’t just turn around and leave.
Doesn’t a disciple of the Golden Elixir Master have any dignity? If Master Yun
Jing held a grudge against He Song for this, this matter might not be over yet.
Realising that he couldn’t be so disrespectful, He Song swallowed the refusal he was about to say.
Subsequently, He Song nodded, agreeing to attend Master Yun Jing’s banquet prepared especially for him.
Due to Master Yun Jing’s arrangements, the standards of this welcome banquet were still quite high.
The banquet was held inside the Treasure Pavilion.
Most of the people who attended were internal staff of the Treasure Pavilion.
In respect of Master Yun Jing, many people came to meet He Song, to familiarise themselves with him.
As for this, He Song didn’t care too much.
He only greeted these people casually.
He was about to leave Cloud State immediately, even if he met a lot of people at this banquet, he probably wouldn’t see them again.
So why bother?
However, He Song did not forget his manners.
He also greeted each person who came to meet him in return.
As time passed, fewer and fewer people were present in front of He Song.
Until the banquet ended.
Master Yun Jing even escorted He Song out of the Treasure Pavilion.
At the entrance of the Treasure Pavilion.
He Song gave a bow to Master Yun Jing, then opened his mouth to speak.
“Thank you for your gracious hospitality. Since I have achieved my goal, I will take my leave now and prepare to leave Cloud State and return to Heaven Power Immortal City.”
Since he has obtained the “Purple Sky Meditation Formulas”, there is no reason for He Song to stay in Cloud State any longer.
In this way, to embark immediately back to Heaven Power Immortal City to practice the “Purple Sky Meditation Formulas” is the most pressing task for He Song at the moment.
As long as he becomes adept at the “Purple Sky Meditation Formulas”, he can head to the location of the Golden Elixir Array and commence his research on it.
With the help of the “Purple Sky Meditation Formulas”, even if the Golden Elixir Master is present in the Golden Elixir Array, He Song will not be discovered by him.
And, if the Golden Elixir Master is not present in the Golden Elixir Array.
After He Song starts the “Purple Sky Meditation Formulas”, his camouflage would prevent him from detection, greatly enhancing his concealment.
Under such circumstances, as long as He Song is patient and studies the Golden Elixir Array diligently, he will eventually master it.
Once he masters the Golden Elixir Array, the process of entering it can be said to be effortless.
By then, wouldn’t everything inside the Golden Elixir Array be within his reach?
With this thought flashing through his mind, He Song suddenly felt an urgent desire to return to Heaven Power Immortal City and start his studies on the “Purple Sky Meditation Formulas”.
He Song announced his departure.
Upon hearing this, a look of “just as I thought” flashed across Master Yun Jing’s eyes.
Master Yun Jing had only just met He Song today.
However, when He Song set out from Heaven Power Immortal City to Cloud State, she had heard his name from Master Luo Jing’s conversation.
In fact, she had learned various pieces of information about He Song from Master Luo Jing.
According to Master Luo Jing, He Song is cautious in character, dislikes conflict, but is swift in action.
At present, the previous two traits of He Song – being cautious and conflict averse – have been fully confirmed.
The third trait, his swiftness in action, was confirmed by her when He Song announced his farewell.
And because of this, she was not surprised when He Song announced his departure.
According to Master Luo Jing’s understanding of He Song,
it would be strange if He Song did not leave immediately after obtaining the “Purple Sky Meditation Formulas”.
His departure at this time was the normal reaction.
Having foreseen this, Master Yun Jing naturally was not surprised by He Song’s sudden announcement to leave.
On the contrary, after hearing He Song announce his departure, she nodded in agreement.
“Your actions are indeed swift and efficient, friend. Since you are in a hurry to return to the Immortal City, I will not keep you any longer. Travel safe.” With Master Yun Jing wishing him well, He Song nodded gently in reply.
Then, with a final bow, He Song turned and left.
At the entrance of the Treasure Pavilion.
Upon seeing He Song’s figure disappear from her sight, Master Yun Jing quietly retreated to the interior of the Treasure Pavilion.
In a luxurious room, Master Yun Jing dismissed everyone else. When she was left alone, she took out a delicate blank jade slip from her storage bag.
With a thought passing through Master Yun Jing’s mind, the Dual Cultivation Skill, previously gleaned from the jade slip that He Song brought, was immediately engraved in the blank jade slip.
Once she finished recording the mana formulas in the jade slip, Master Yun Jing waved her hand, and an object appeared in the room, filled with tiny compartments like a puzzle.
The object was large and entirely made of jade, and many delicate jade slips have already been placed in the numerous compartments.
After carefully examining the patterns on the object, Master Yun Jing put the jade slip she held, carefully into one of the small compartments.
When the jade slip was put in, the small compartment was immediately filled, fitting perfectly.
After all this, Master Yun Jing looked at the enormous puzzle in front of her, a satisfied smile dancing across her face.
“Very good, another formula was added into the Formulas Drawing, adding yet another method.”
“One step closer to collecting ten thousand mana formulas.”
“Let me think… I still lack seven thousand three hundred and fifty-two formulas.”
“These years, it’s been quite laborious to gather all these diverse and bizarre formulas.”
“Sigh, mana formulas are getting harder to collect nowadays. My elder martial sister searched for so long and only managed to bring one.”
Mumbling to herself, Master Yun Jing gave the Formulas Drawing one last glance before finally putting it back into her storage bag.
After He Song left the Treasure Pavilion, he was entirely ignorant of what happened inside.
He didn’t know that Master Yun Jing was actually in possession of an object named Formulas Drawing.
It was precisely because of this Formulas Drawing that He Song obtained the jade slip from Master Luo Jing, carried it all the way to Cloud State, and finally, into Master Yun Jing’s hands.
If it weren’t for the Formulas Drawing, He Song would never have gotten the “Sky Meditation Formulas” from Master Chang Kong so easily, and he might not even have met Master Yun Jing.
After leaving the Treasure Pavilion, He Song quickly returned to Meng Guan’s residence.
After finding Meng Guan, and telling him that he would soon be leaving,
Meng Guan was taken aback.
“You’ve been here only for a day, fulfilled your purpose, and you want to leave already?”
Looking at a sincere He Song in front of him, Meng Guan discovered that He Song had suddenly become extremely mysterious.
He Song had only been here for a day,
No.
To be precise,
Just a few hours.
Because when He Song entered the Cloud State Mansion, it was Meng Guan who personally went to receive him.
From the time he picked up He Song at the city gate until He Song stated his intentions to leave, only a few hours had passed.
During these few hours, He Song spent more than an hour with him.
Entering from the city gate, drinking tea at the tea house, and then returning to Meng Guan’s residence to rest took more than an hour.
It was only later, after He Song inquired about the location of the Flowers Tea House, that the two split up.
However ,
Three hours had passed since they split up.
In these three hours, Meng Guan had even planned to take He Song around Cloud State Mansion for a good tour.
So that He Song could see the prosperity of Cloud State Mansion and the difference between it and the Immortal City under the control of the Thick Earth Sect.
He had even thought that after returned, he would make an appointment with him for a good tour.
Indeed, three hours later, He Song did return.
However, upon returning, He Song announced that the matter he came to Cloud State for was already resolved and he was prepared to leave.
This….
Seeing He Song in front of him, wearing an embarrassed expression, and apologising, Meng Guan’s astonishment was delayed in leaving his face.
The fact was, He Song’s words were too strange.
Keep in mind.
Traveling from Heaven Power Immortal City to Cloud State.
By He Song’s travel speed, he’d taken a full one and a half months.
In these one and a half months, He Song had been rushing day and night, finally arriving at Cloud State Mansion.
However, the time he spent traveling for a month and a half was gravely disproportionate to the time he spent here on his business.
One and a half months of travel.
Three hours of business.
Then another one and a half months to return to Heaven Power Immortal City.
If it were not for He Song solemnly telling him that he indeed finished the task he came to Cloud State for,
Meng Guan might have thought He Song was joking.
Who would travel for three months, only to conduct business for three hours?
“Forget it, forget it, originally wanted to take you for a good tour.”
“Didn’t expect you’d finished your business upon arrival, and are in a hurry to leave..”
