Chapter 1047: Chapter 725: Golden Elixir Acquired_2
Thirty thousand mid-grade spirit stones, for He Song at that time, could actually already be considered a fortune.
Although He Song already possessed many skills and his speed of earning spirit stones was extremely fast,
the excitement in his heart when he first received those thirty thousand mid-grade spirit stones was still unparalleled.
And when He Song compared his own reaction when he first received those thirty thousand mid-grade spirit stones
to that of the Ghostfaced True Monarch before him.
A thought flashed through He Song’s mind in an instant.
This Ghostfaced True Monarch,
could it be that he is not a real Golden Elixir Master?
But merely a Foundation Establishment cultivator?
Otherwise, why would he react like this upon seeing the one hundred and fifty thousand mid-grade spirit stones?
Such a reaction was even greater than He Song’s when he, at the Foundation Establishment Realm, occasionally received thirty thousand mid-grade spirit stones.
In other words, the emotional fluctuation in the Ghostfaced True Monarch’s heart was even more intense than He Song’s when he was in the Foundation Establishment Realm and randomly came across thirty thousand mid-grade spirit stones.
And this kind of intense emotional fluctuation while facing one hundred and fifty thousand mid-grade spirit stones,
is actually not easy to see among Golden Core Realm Cultivators.
Perhaps, it can only be seen among Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Thinking this, He Song’s hypothesis that the Ghostfaced True Monarch might only be a Foundation Establishment True Person became even more certain.
If it were not so, how could the Ghostfaced True Monarch have shown such a lapse?
Previously, upon hearing He Song’s offer of one hundred and fifty thousand mid-grade spirit stones, the Ghostfaced True Monarch had already shown a slip-up.
But at that time, He Song had not thought in this direction.
However, now that the Ghostfaced True Monarch was showing a great emotional fluctuation in his heart upon seeing the one hundred and fifty thousand mid-grade spirit stones in the storage bag,
He Song could not help but think so.
The identity of this Ghostfaced True Monarch, it seems, is slightly complicated.
With such thoughts, the look He Song gave the Ghostfaced True Monarch soon carried a hint of scrutiny.
At the same time, he also had some answers as to why the Ghostfaced True Monarch had readily agreed to his price of one hundred and fifty thousand mid-grade spirit stones.
And just as these ideas flashed through He Song’s mind,
by He Song’s side,
Xiao Qing, who had been sitting quietly to the side, also felt a deep suspicion flash through her heart after seeing the Ghostfaced True Monarch’s reaction.

Before this, Xiao Qing had, like He Song, also witnessed the Ghostfaced True Monarch’s previous abnormality.
And now, when a more abnormal situation than before once again appeared before Xiao Qing,
the same suspicions as He Song quickly flashed through her mind.
Perhaps,
this Ghostfaced True Monarch in front of them, is actually not a Golden Elixir Master, but a Foundation Establishment cultivator,
because only a Foundation Establishment cultivator would become so out of control upon hearing and truly seeing one hundred and fifty thousand mid-grade spirit stones.
However, just as both He Song and Xiao Qing harbored a hint of doubt about the Ghostfaced True Monarch’s identity and cultivation,
the Ghostfaced True Monarch seemed to realize that he had lost his composure too much.
Therefore, the Ghostfaced True Monarch quickly adjusted his emotions before He Song and Xiao Qing,
and soon apologized to them with a smile,
“I just suddenly remembered a happy event from the past, which caused me to lose my composure, I hope fellow Taoist won’t take offense.”
“The number of spirit stones in this storage bag is indeed one hundred and fifty thousand mid-grade spirit stones without doubt.”
“With that, this trade can be considered complete.”
“However, if we can meet again in the future, I hope fellow Taoist will not forget what I mentioned before.”
Bowing to He Song before him, the Ghostfaced True Monarch spoke with a smile.
But the joy in his demeanor was something he just could not hide.
Even though the Ghostfaced True Monarch tried his best to conceal the joy in his eyes and on his body,
due to the large emotional fluctuation he had experienced before, he still couldn’t completely cover it up.
And as the Ghostfaced True Monarch spoke these words,
He Song also took the opportunity to thoroughly check the cultivator’s Golden Core before him, then finally put it into his storage bag.
Meanwhile, noticing the unmistakable joy in the Ghostfaced True Monarch’s eyes,
He Song’s previous suspicions were further solidified in his heart.
If this Ghostfaced individual were not a Foundation Establishment cultivator,
how could he possibly have such an intense emotional fluctuation upon seeing one hundred and fifty thousand mid-grade spirit stones?
With such thoughts in mind, after putting away the Golden Elixirs, He Song immediately cupped his fists in return and said.
“No trouble at all.”
“Since the Daoist friend is so generous, I will surely remember this day’s words in the future.”
“In the future, should there be any need for assistance, please feel free to speak up.”
“Provided I have the time, and it does not concern my own life or fortune, I will definitely not stand idly by.”
“Please be assured, Daoist friend.”
The reason Ghostfaced True Monarch spoke in such a manner, urging He Song not to forget today’s incident.
It was mainly because He Song had previously told him that if there was a need for help, he need only ask.
Although he could not guarantee his assistance for certain, if it did not concern He Song’s life or fortune, and he had the time, He Song would not ignore the situation.
Therefore, He Song openly stated this matter.
The purpose, naturally, was to put Ghostfaced True Monarch at ease.
Of course,
what He Song promised carried the ultimate right of interpretation in his own hands.
After all, the matter of offering help that He Song spoke of was subjected to many conditions before it could be activated.
Firstly, He Song needed to have time.
This availability was not merely based on He Song’s word, was it?
Whether he truly had time or not, only He Song would know, and Ghostfaced True Monarch naturally could not be aware of it unless He Song appeared before him.
Even if He Song did indeed have time, he could also claim to be in seclusive cultivation, unable to extricate himself, leaving Ghostfaced True Monarch to resolve the matter on his own.
Moreover, he could simply hide and pretend not to see.
In this way, Ghostfaced True Monarch would naturally not be able to find He Song to hold him responsible.
Secondly, the matter proposed by Ghostfaced True Monarch must not concern He Song’s life or fortune.
Life or fortune.
These four words were profound and complex.
Though merely four words, they encompassed a wide array of things internally.
For example, the safety of He Song himself.
For example, the security of He Song’s cave mansion.
For example, the safety of close friends by He Song’s side.
For example, the safety of treasures on He Song.
For example…
All these things were all included within the four words ‘life or fortune.’
That is to say, if the matter brought up by Ghostfaced True Monarch pertained to any of these aspects, He Song could use it as a reason to reject the task.
Thus, the assurances given by He Song were, in reality, not binding on him at all.
However,
if Ghostfaced True Monarch truly had some minor matter he wished to seek He Song’s assistance with, and it did not affect He Song himself,
considering the tens of thousands of mid-grade spirit stones Ghostfaced True Monarch had given him, He Song would still be willing to help once.
He wouldn’t actually behave as he had premeditated, by simply pretending not to see.
But the extent of the assistance… naturally was still within He Song’s control.
With these thoughts, He Song once again exchanged pleasantries with Ghostfaced True Monarch for a short while.
Finally, seeing there were no other matters,
He Song quickly took his leave.
Since the deal had been struck,
He Song naturally found no further reason to linger.
Nor did He Song wish to stay any longer in that place.
Therefore, after bidding farewell to Ghostfaced True Monarch, He Song quickly returned to the Treasure Pavilion with Xiao Qing, to the confines of his own mansion.
Treasure Pavilion.
Inside He Song’s mansion.
Within the exquisite pavilion.
He Song sat opposite Xiao Qing as wisps of tea fragrance spread between them.
After offering Xiao Qing another small cup of Golden Core Spiritual Tea, He Song gently waved his hand, and a Golden Armor Guard silently appeared beside him.
As for Xiao Qing, who was just about to thank He Song with the small cup of Golden Core Spiritual Tea in hand,
her expression changed immediately upon suddenly seeing another Golden Armor Guard appear next to He Song.
