“I can’t accept undeserved rewards, and besides, I did indeed set up the restrictions within the jade slip.”

“Although I originally intended to entrust it to someone else to bring to Cloud State, I placed the restrictions only to keep the information within the jade slip hidden from others.”

“I didn’t expect that Master would say he was going to Cloud State, so I gave it to Master at the last minute with the restrictions still in place, but I never meant to be suspicious of Master.”

“However, since things have come to this, I have wronged Master.” “Since I already feel guilty, how can I accept the gift from Master?” “Really, I can’t accept this.”

“This time, it is indeed my fault, so I hope Master can be lenient.”

“Please take back the gift, I am not worthy of accepting it.”

The embarrassment on Master Luo Jing’s face was sincere, not feigned, and she appeared to be genuinely sincere.

She had prepared the jade slip beforehand, and she herself had engraved the Dual Cultivation Skill within it.

However, since she originally intended to have someone else deliver it to Master Yun Jing, she placed restrictions in the jade slip to prevent anyone from peeking.

But as a result, she made a last-minute decision to entrust this task to He Song when she saw that he was also heading to Cloud State.

So the restricted jade slip ended up in He Song’s hands.

However, the restriction within the jade slip was only there to prevent others from seeing its content, and was not specifically aimed at He Song.

One could say that it wouldn’t have really mattered if the restriction was revealed.

However, Master Yun Jing didn’t know the inside story and was not aware of the twists and turns, so he mentioned the restriction in the jade slip to He Song.

As a result, He Song naturally misunderstood.

When Master Luo Jing faced He Song again and saw that he had specifically brought a gift as thanks, she felt her face heating up and was incredibly embarrassed.

Naturally, after declining He Song’s gift, she immediately explained the situation to him thoroughly.

She wanted He Song to know that the restriction was not targeted at him, it

was just a coincidence.

On the side.

After hearing Master Luo Jing’s explanation, He Song nodded his head in realization.

Although he wasn’t sure whether Master Luo Jing’s story was true or false, the jade slip was indeed entrusted to him on a whim, just as Master Luo Jing had said.

Before the jade slip was given to him, it made sense to place a restriction within it to prevent others from peeking at its contents.

After all, not everyone is like He Song, who wouldn’t look without permission.

If someone wanted to steal a glimpse at the contents, the restriction within the jade slip would prevent them from doing so.

In this way, He Song somewhat believed Master Luo Jing’s explanation.

However, He Song didn’t have too many thoughts about it in the first place, and since Master Yun Jing had already given him a big gift, this matter was already resolved.

At this moment, He Song felt even more favorably towards Master Luo Jing after listening to her explanation.

Although it was just a misunderstanding.

But she still admitted her mistake and had a great attitude.

Such behavior made He Song appreciate Master Luo Jing even more.

No wonder she was a golden elixir disciple of Treasure Pavilion, her way of dealing with people was truly perfect.

At least now.

After hearing Master Luo Jing’s explanation, the little grievances He Song had in his heart were dispelled.

As for the restriction within the jade slip, he didn’t care about it one bit.

“Fellow Daoist, please accept the gift. You ‘ve been a great help during my trip to Cloud State, and I cannot bear to inconvenience you further if you don’t accept it.”

Master Luo Jing didn’t want to accept the gift, but He Song didn’t want the debt between them to keep growing.

Therefore, no matter how Master Luo Jing tried to politely refuse, He Song kept trying to put the storage bag into her hands.

After a while.

Under He Songs relentless persistence, Master Luo Jing finally accepted the gift.

Seeing that she had accepted his gift, He Song instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

There must be both giving and receiving in a relationship.

Master Luo Jing helped him a great deal this time, so if He Song didn’t give something in return, the debt owed would only grow larger. If this continued, he might not be able to pay it back.

If it reached that point,

If Master Luo Jing asked for something in return for the favor, would he do it or not?

If he did, who could guarantee his safety?

If not, could he just let such a significant debt go unpaid?

It was precisely because of these thoughts that He Song insisted on repaying this favor.

This way, without incurring a huge debt, He Song wouldn’t need to worry about Master Luo Jing making any unreasonable requests in the future.

On the side.

Master Luo Jing, who had no choice but to accept the gift, sighed and shook her head helplessly at He Song.

She really didn’t want to accept the gift.

After accepting the gift, He Song thanked Master Luo Jing in person.

In response, Master Luo Jing didn’t take credit but instead thanked He Song for his help in delivering the jade slip to Master Yun Jing.

The two of them kept thanking each other for a long time.

Afterwards, when He Song felt that the time was almost right, he bid farewell and left.

He left the Treasure Pavilion.

Soon, He Song returned to his residence.

This time.

Undisturbed by other matters, He Song quickly immersed himself in the cultivation of the Purple Sky Meditation Skill.

Time passed slowly.

Years went by.

In the blink of an eye, two years had swiftly gone by.

During these two years, the mana inside He Song’s body had increased significantly with the passage of time.

As the mana in his body increased, He Song’s own strength naturally grew as well.

However, since He Song’s current cultivation base had already reached the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, he only spent two years in seclusive cultivation.

Therefore, the mana in his body did not increase too much compared to two years ago, just a small amount of growth. Overall, although his mana had increased slightly,

It didn’t increase much.

On the other hand, He Song’s power had undergone earth-shaking changes compared to two years ago.

In these two years,

He Song had completely refined the two high-quality Artifacts he had purchased at the Treasure Pavilion.

Spirit Snake Bone Seal.

Vajra Shield.

These two high-quality artifacts for Late Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators had been completely refined by He Song a year ago, and were now stored in his Elixir Field for nourishment.

With the continuous infusion of mana, the power of these two high-quality artifacts was also slowly increasing with time.

With the help of these handy high-quality artifacts, He Song’s combat power soared.

If it were not for the presence of these two high-quality artifacts, with only two high-quality artifacts in hand, He Song would have been an ordinary cultivator among fellow Late Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators.

After refining the two high-quality artifacts, He Song’s strength, even among Late Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, had become relatively strong.

If his other means were taken into account, his strength was even stronger than that of most Late Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators.

Under such circumstances, if He Song went out again to visit Cloud State Mansion, his safety would naturally be greatly enhanced.

At the same time, since both the Spirit Snake Bone Seal and Vajra Shield had been fully refined, with the increase in He Song’s combat power,

He naturally began to crave even more powerful strength for himself. Thus, when he had enough personal power to travel around freely, He Song would occasionallv out down his cultivation of the Purole Skv Meditation Skill and go shopping outside during these two years.

Not to buy other things, but just to purchase some materials for refining spirit puppets.

At present, He Song had Qing Feng, Mingyue, Xianyun, and Ye He, these Four Great Spirit Puppets under his command.

However, the refining materials and the spirit puppet cores inside these Four Great Spirit Puppets were nothing more than Foundation Establishment materials that He Song had purchased a long time ago.

Now that his cultivation base had reached the Late Foundation Establishment Stage,

He naturally expected to encounter enemies mostly of Late Foundation Establishment Stage or even Foundation Establishment Great Perfection in the future.

In such circumstances, the previously barely sufficient combat power of the Four Great Spirit Puppets was now on the brink of elimination.

Of course,

Unlike other things, spirit puppets could not be quickly upgraded in quality, so they would have to be eliminated once they were deemed obsolete.

Spirit puppets can be made more powerful by continuously adding precious materials to them after they are refined.

At the same time, the process of continuously adding various precious materials to the spirit puppets is quite complicated, and the materials required are extremely valuable.

However, for He Song,

As long as those materials can be purchased, he would not be too concerned about it with his current wealth.

He Song was only raising a total of four spirit puppets, and no matter how precious the materials required for the four puppets were, how many spirit stones could it cost?

As a result,

When He Song realized that the strength of Qing Feng, Mingyue, Xianyun, and

Ye He, the Four Great Spirit Puppets, was no longer keeping up with his pace, He immediately set about buying various precious materials and tirelessly began to improve the strength of these Four Great Spirit Puppets. The Four Great Spirit Puppets were an important part of He Song’s combat power.

The stronger the spirit puppet, the stronger He Song’s own power would be.

For He Song, who was currently craving for powerful strength, enhancing the power of the Four Great Spirit Puppets was tantamount to enhancing his own power.

Meanwhile, He Song’s cultivation of the Purple Sky Meditation Skill did not lag behind at all.

The cultivation of the Purple Sky Meditation Skill did not require any valuable materials to assist, as He Song only needed to sit quietly and meditate.

Just like the name of the Purple Sky Meditation Skill.

With his mind on the law formulas, He Song felt that his body was floaty as if he were soaring into the sky and reaching the heavens.

His mind silently maintained a meditative state in mid-air, as if his entire being had become empty, and even divine sense scanning could not detect his whereabouts.

Such was the origin of the name of the Purple Sky Meditation Skill.

He Song practiced every day, feeling his progress with each passing day..
