Xianxia :I live for ever in Cultivation World

As a Golden Core True Lord, it was impossible for him to remain unaware of the emergence of a new Foundation Establishment cultivator within the sect. 

Previously, he had taken some time to explain the internal factional struggles of the Earth Sect to Wei Fan. 

Now that everything was clear, it was time to meet with the Sect Master. 

When Meng Guan urged him to leave, Wei Fan stood up as well.

After informing He Song to wait for their return in the small courtyard, the two set off toward the main peak of the Earth Sect. 

As for He Song, after seeing them off, he shook his head and continued drinking tea. 

He understood the intentions of his two friends. 

The last time Meng Guan broke through to Foundation Establishment, the Sect Master had specially bestowed two Foundation Establishment Pills due to their friendship.

Now, Wei Fan had successfully reached Foundation Establishment using one of those pills, along with another pill the trio had purchased together. 

With Wei Fan's breakthrough complete, when the two went to see the Sect Master again, it was highly likely that the Sect Master would bestow another Foundation Establishment Pill. 

Out of the three of them, two had already achieved Foundation Establishment.

Even if only to win over these two cultivators, something would have to be left for the third person.

Additionally, rewards for Wei Fan and Meng Guan would naturally not be lacking. 

Meeting the Sect Master, however, was not something an outer disciple at the Qi Condensation stage like He Song was qualified to do. 

Even seven years ago, when the three had just joined the sect, it was True Person Clear Moon who had taken Meng Guan to meet the Sect Master.

He Song and Wei Fan, on the other hand, had followed Pinger and the others to seek out an outer elder and become outer disciples. 

Now, with Wei Fan breaking through to Foundation Establishment, it was only natural that Meng Guan would take him to meet the Sect Master. 

As for He Song, before he broke through to Foundation Establishment, he would have no opportunity to meet the Sect Master. 

But He Song didn't care much.

Coming from an era where information exploded, he didn't feel much reverence for these so-called "big shots" in the eyes of others.

Cultivators were still human; before ascending to immortality, they were merely stronger humans.

Whether it was Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, or Nascent Soul—none of them were anything more than powerful individuals in He Song's eyes. 

If he encountered any of them directly, He Song would certainly follow the etiquette of the cultivation world and show respect as a junior without revealing any flaws.

But to genuinely admire these powerful individuals from the bottom of his heart, like others in the cultivation world did, was utterly impossible for him. 

As someone pursuing immortality, in He Song's view, all of these people were destined to be surpassed by him someday.

How could he feel reverence for someone he was bound to surpass? 

Of course, he would still maintain appearances and ensure no one could discern his true thoughts. In the cultivation world, it was common for disputes to end in bloodshed.

He Song certainly didn't want to lose his life over such trivial matters. 

An hour later, Meng Guan and Wei Fan returned to the small courtyard. 

He Song opened the door and welcomed them inside.

Soon after, a small jade bottle appeared in front of him. 

"Fellow Daoist, please don't refuse. The Sect Master has generously rewarded us this time. This Foundation Establishment Pill was specifically mentioned by the Sect Master to be given to you." 

Placing the small jade bottle into He Song's hands, Wei Fan's face was filled with joy. It seemed he had gained quite a bit during his meeting with the Sect Master. 

Beside him, Meng Guan also looked radiant. 

Wei Fan's breakthrough to Foundation Establishment was a significant achievement, and Meng Guan, having brought Wei Fan into the Earth Sect, had undoubtedly received substantial rewards as well. 

Seeing both of them glowing with satisfaction, He Song, after some thought, decided to graciously accept the gift.

After thanking his two friends, he stored the jade bottle in his storage pouch. 

At the same time, he couldn't help but marvel at the generosity of True Lord Fa Xuan.

Rewards that satisfied both Wei Fan and Meng Guan, plus the two Foundation Establishment Pills he had received for free—it was clear that True Lord Fa Xuan was willing to invest heavily in his faction. 

It was likely that seven years ago, True Person Clear Moon had also received considerable benefits.

Of course, it was also possible that True Lord Fa Xuan wanted to win over hearts or attract more Foundation Establishment cultivators to his side with such generous rewards.

Such rewards likely had the intention of expanding his influence. 

However, regardless of the reasoning, the benefits were real.

Only by being generous with subordinates could one attract more people.

This principle was something True Lord Fa Xuan clearly understood. 

For such benefits delivered to his doorstep, He Song naturally wouldn't refuse.

Neither would Wei Fan or Meng Guan.

With this newly acquired Foundation Establishment Pill, He Song now had two such pills in his possession. 

Considering the income he would receive over the next decade from the hundred mu of spirit fields, along with the annual stipend from the sect, even if He Song failed his first attempt at Foundation Establishment and wasted six pills, he would still have enough spirit stones to exchange for six more pills in the sect's treasure vault. 

With this thought, a weight lifted from He Song's mind as he placed the jade bottle into his storage pouch.

From now on, as long as he tended to the hundred mu of spirit fields each year, he would never lack resources for his Foundation Establishment.

At the very least, he would never lack Foundation Establishment Pills. 

This harvest was quite satisfactory. 

With this thought in mind, the three sat down again in the courtyard.

This time, the atmosphere in the small courtyard quickly grew lively.

Having all received significant benefits, the three enjoyed themselves immensely as they exchanged toasts. 

Finally, Meng Guan gave Wei Fan some advice regarding matters to be mindful of after reaching Foundation Establishment and recommended several cultivation methods for him to study.

Afterward, he bid farewell and left. Seeing this, He Song also took his leave. 

After leaving Wei Fan's courtyard, he soon returned to his own.

However, as he glanced back at Wei Fan's courtyard, a thought crossed He Song's mind. 

"This is likely the last gathering in that courtyard. Now that Wei has broken through to Foundation Establishment, he will be able to establish a cave dwelling within the Earth Sect." 

"I wonder where he will choose to build it." 

"Will he become neighbors with Old Meng, or will he seek a quiet place to focus on cultivation?" 

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, He Song's gaze swept over his own courtyard, and a desire to establish a cave dwelling arose within him. 

This wasn't a sudden whim but rather the result of careful consideration.

Now, all He Song needed to do was purchase some materials, craft formation flags and plates, and inscribe the array patterns for a Minor Spirit Gathering Formation.

Once that was done, he could begin setting up the formation.
