Chapter 668: Chapter 536: Golden Core Middle Stage_1

By that time, he would no longer need to worry about encountering unavoidable conflicts with others while traveling outside.

Before that, even though He Song had reached the Golden Core Realm, he had always been trying to avoid conflicts with others.

After all, the former He Song, despite not being weak,

could at least ensure his life was not threatened when fighting with cultivators of the same level.

But He Song never had any particularly strong offensive techniques.

He was unable to pose a great threat to cultivators of the same level,

let alone kill them.

Although He Song could ensure he could escape at any time,

similarly, a Golden Elixir Master who was his enemy could do the same.

Before this, He Song had no means to capture the opponent.

Without overwhelming offensive techniques to capture the opponent, it was only natural for He Song to avoid conflicts with others.

When fighting, one had to use every method at one’s disposal.

If one couldn’t kill the opponent outright, wouldn’t all one’s techniques be revealed to them?

If after the fight the opponent wasn’t killed and managed to tell others about one’s abilities,

and then the information was passed from one to ten, ten to a hundred,

it wouldn’t take long for all of He Song’s techniques to become known to countless cultivators.

Even more so, if he used Array Skills or other techniques during the fight, it could expose He Song’s various identities as well.

These identities, although not that important for He Song who had already reached the Golden Core Realm, were still problematic.

A Golden Elixir Master skilled in Array Tao, Elixir Tao, Artifact Tao, Amulet Tao, and so on

was bound to attract the attention of others.

If even more people started paying attention to He Song,

the attention he would draw when traveling in the future would certainly not diminish.

Moreover, He Song’s lifespan issue might also draw the attention of others.

In such a situation, it was natural for He Song not to rashly engage with other Golden Elixir Masters without having the ability to capture them.

However,

once He Song had crafted several Talismanic Treasures and possessed the strength to kill a Golden Elixir Master, although he would still be as cautious as before,

if he really encountered situations that he couldn’t avoid, or if the other party was insisting on seeking death, He Song would naturally not continue to choose to evade as before.

To have a sword in hand but not use it

is a completely different mindset from having no sword and being unable to use one.

About this, He Song was very clear in his heart.

Continuing to absorb the outside spirit Qi and swiftly refining it into his own mana,

He Song thought about the matters he needed to attend to urgently after his successful breakthrough to the Golden Core Middle Stage, feeling moved.

It seems, after his cultivation’s successful breakthrough, he needed to start crafting Talismanic Treasures without delay.

Currently,

He Song only had one set of materials for Talismanic Treasure crafting on him.

This set of materials was obtained from the Treasure Pavilion in Zichuan Prefecture Government.

If he wanted to continue crafting Talismanic Treasures later on, He Song would have to visit other Immortal State Mansions to purchase some materials for Talismanic Treasure crafting.

But although this thought flashed through He Song’s mind, it did not capture too much of his attention.

Materials for crafting Talismanic Treasures were minor concerns.

Only the main materials for crafting Talismanic Treasures were the truly valuable items.

However, for He Song, with the promises of Meng Guan and Wei Fan, he was not particularly concerned about the main materials for crafting Talismanic Treasures.

According to He Song’s thinking,

by the time he successfully broke through to the Golden Core Middle Stage and consolidated his cultivation, quite some time would have passed.

After that time, he would send a message to Meng Guan and Wei Fan, giving them sufficient resources so they would hand over the cultivators’ Golden Cores they had obtained to him.

By then, after such a long time had passed,

the number of cultivators’ Golden Cores Meng Guan and Wei Fan possessed might be more than He Song had imagined.

Naturally, after obtaining these cultivators’ Golden Cores, the number of Talismanic Treasures he could craft would also increase.

However,

when he thought of this point, He Song’s brow furrowed slightly.

The number of cultivators’ Golden Cores Meng Guan and Wei Fan possessed, according to He Song’s estimates, would probably be quite substantial.

With so many cultivators’ Golden Cores,

if he were to exchange them with the two at market price, he feared that even if He Song sold his entire fortune, it wouldn’t be enough.

In other words, if he couldn’t obtain enough Golden Core Items for the exchange with Meng Guan and Wei Fan,

then He Song might end up owing them a huge favor.

When unable to provide an equivalent value for those cultivators’ Golden Cores,

the remainder of the value of the cultivators’ Golden Cores would be a substantial debt of favor He Song owed.

Once this favor was owed,

according to He Song’s estimates, he would likely have to provide Meng Guan and Wei Fan with equivalent goods worth two to three cultivators’ Golden Cores to pay it off.

Moreover, Meng Guan and Wei Fan were so good to him, the moment he asked, they had kept all the cultivators’ Golden Cores they had obtained, ready to give them all to He Song.

Therefore, it was imperative for He Song to acknowledge this favor.

This kinship couldn’t be measured with spirit stones.
