Hu Prefecture, Prefectural City.
Treasure Gathering Pavilion, Main Pavilion.
When He Song's figure suddenly arrived, his Golden Core Realm cultivation aura instantly attracted the attention of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion main pavilion pavilion master here.
Upon realizing He Song's destination was the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, and after the flying boat quickly stopped outside the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
Before He Song could descend from the flying boat, the pavilion master had already gracefully arrived, quietly waiting not far from the flying boat.
When He Song stepped down from the flying boat and stored it away.
The pavilion master then greeted him.
"This fellow cultivator, please."
As a clear and crisp voice rang in his ears, He Song turned his gaze and quickly saw a beautiful young woman in white robes beside him.
The young woman had skin like snow, delicate features, and a petite figure, appearing to be young.
However, upon sensing the faint Golden Core aura emanating from her, a realization quickly dawned on He Song's mind.
Cultivators are the group you can least judge by appearance.
Although the person before him looked like a young girl.
In reality, judging by her cultivation.
This young woman was at least over a hundred, or even two hundred years old.
The Golden Core Realm is not so easily broken through.
The time spent in the Qi Condensation Stage and Foundation Establishment Stage is not short.
In other words, this young woman before him, who looked young, was likely close to two hundred years old, or even older.
However, after realizing this, He Song's expression remained unchanged.
The young woman before him was not young in age.
Was He Song himself any different?
Both being Golden Core cultivators, He Song's age was probably not lower than this young woman's.
Yet, even so, He Song still maintained the appearance of a young man.
Most cultivators, like He Song, appeared very young.
"Thank you, fellow cultivator."
With a normal expression, He Song slightly cupped his hands towards the young woman, and quickly followed her into the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
Inside the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
In the reception room.
He Song and the young woman sat down separately.
As the young woman skillfully brewed tea, wisps of tea fragrance wafted through the reception room.
When a cup of spirit tea with a rich tea fragrance was placed in front of He Song.
Only then did the young woman introduce herself.
"This little girl is You Yun, may I ask for fellow cultivator's name?"
As True Lord You Yun's voice fell, He Song's somewhat doubtful state of mind also relaxed at this moment.
Before departing, True Lord Luo Jing had already informed He Song, mentioning that the person who would receive He Song here had the Daoist name You Yun.
He Song had been wondering if the cultivator with the Daoist name You Yun that True Lord Luo Jing spoke of might have a low cultivation, perhaps only Foundation Establishment.
If that were the case, how should he explain matters to this unfamiliar Golden Core cultivator before him.
However, unexpectedly, upon hearing True Lord You Yun's introduction, He Song instantly reacted.
So, the Golden Core young woman before him was Junior Sister You Yun mentioned by True Lord Luo Jing.
But what surprised He Song was.
Although True Lord You Yun's cultivation was the same as his, in the early Golden Core stage, she was indeed a genuine early Golden Core cultivator.
With such cultivation, why would she be called Junior Sister by True Lord Luo Jing?
One must know, True Lord Luo Jing had only recently broken through to the Golden Core stage.
To be called Junior Sister by her.
Could it be that True Lord You Yun broke through to the Golden Core Realm even more recently than True Lord Luo Jing?
But in that case, how could a cultivator who had just broken through to the early Golden Core stage be in charge of a Treasure Gathering Pavilion main pavilion?
One must know, the current True Lords Luo Jing and Yun Jing have not yet been dispatched to oversee a region.
Could it be that this True Lord You Yun has an unusual background?
Or perhaps.
Thoughts flashed through his mind, but after considering them, he did not ask anything.
Even his expression did not change in the slightest, as if he knew nothing about it.
After all, He Song currently had no personal relationship with True Lord You Yun before him, and their relationship was still that of strangers.
His understanding of True Lord You Yun came entirely from True Lord Luo Jing.
Thus, asking too much might provoke displeasure.
It would be better to pretend ignorance and directly reveal his identity to take away what he needed.
Thinking of this, He Song immediately stood up and slightly cupped his hands towards True Lord You Yun before him.
"So it is True Lord You Yun in person, this one is Evergreen Pine. I have come because True Lord Luo Jing informed me that a Golden Core Talisman Dao Jade Slip has appeared here, and asked me to come here to trade for it from True Lord You Yun."
"Previously, according to True Lord Luo Jing, True Lord You Yun had already set aside this item, I wonder if this is true?"
As He Song's words fell, True Lord You Yun, who had initially only intended to exchange greetings with He Song and then inquire about his purpose.
Now, her expression also changed slightly.
Originally, she really just wanted to exchange pleasantries with He Song, and then go through the transaction process according to procedure.
Generally speaking, Treasure Gathering Pavilion handles foreign Golden Core cultivators like He Song in this manner.
First, exchange pleasantries, then inquire about their needs, then verify the goods and trade, and finally see the other party off.
This set of procedures was already familiar to almost all Treasure Gathering Pavilion cultivators.
However, unexpectedly, she had just started the procedure when He Song already played his cards unconventionally, stating his purpose for coming.
And also revealed his identity.
Moreover, what He Song said was indeed not false.
Before this, she had indeed contacted True Lord Luo Jing, and promised the other party to set aside a Golden Core Talisman Dao Jade Slip, waiting for a cultivator with the Daoist name Evergreen Pine to come and trade for it.
Such internal transactions were actually very normal.
True Lord Luo Jing could find a buyer, and she could set aside the goods here.
After all, things needed by Golden Core True Lords like this were actually quite difficult to sell.
The number of Golden Core True Lords was far less than that of Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Since True Lord Luo Jing had already found a buyer, it was naturally a very normal thing for her to set aside this item and wait for the buyer to come to complete the transaction.
However, He Song's words made True Lord You Yun, who had originally only planned to go through the motions, slightly stunned.
Now, less than half a month had passed since she promised True Lord Luo Jing to set aside that Golden Core Talisman Dao Jade Slip.
In less than half a month, He Song had already rushed here from afar.
This made her, who had originally thought she would need to wait for quite some time, feel a hint of unexpected joy.
He Song came too fast.
So fast that True Lord You Yun did not expect that she would be able to wait for He Song in about ten days.
Wasn't it agreed that He Song was far from Hu Prefecture and would need a relatively long time, letting her keep it for a while?
Bearing a hint of unexpected joy and slight doubt, True Lord You Yun also stood up like He Song, and slightly bowed to He Song.
Then she said.
"Greetings, True Person Evergreen Pine, True Person's name is like thunder to my ears, this little girl is fortunate to have heard many stories about True Person from Senior Sister Luo Jing."
"Originally, I thought it would take some time before I could actually meet True Person, but unexpectedly True Person arrived so quickly."
"So quickly that this little girl has not made any preparations, yet True Person has already arrived."
"This place is simple and crude, I hope True Person will not mind."
"As for what True Person needs, this little girl has certainly set it aside for True Person long ago, please take a look, True Person."
After the two exchanged greetings, they both sat down.
As True Lord You Yun's voice fell, a jade slip was also taken out by True Lord You Yun from her storage pouch and placed in front of He Song.
After doing all this, True Lord You Yun finally breathed a slight sigh of relief, her gaze fixedly looking at He Song before her.
She had indeed heard one thing about He Song from True Lord Luo Jing.
It was about He Song going to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion to find Longevity Extension Pills to extend the life of his Qi Condensation Stage friend.
However, her words about He Song's name being like thunder to her ears were just exaggerated rhetoric.
Her understanding of He Song was limited to this matter that True Lord Luo Jing had previously mentioned to her.
Apart from this, even He Song himself, she was meeting for the first time.
So how could his name be like thunder to her ears?
It was just casual flattery.
But even so, when she first saw He Song, True Lord You Yun couldn't help but size up He Song.
She wanted to see what was so remarkable about the person valued by True Lord Luo Jing.
The relationship between True Lord Luo Jing and her was not particularly close.
Hu Prefecture, where True Lord You Yun was located, was within the sphere of influence of the Purple Cloud Sect.
Although it was not far from the One Yang Sect, it was no longer the same branch.
The sisterly title between True Lord You Yun and True Lord Luo Jing was actually just because they were both in the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
If not for the fact that they were both in the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, the chances of them even knowing each other would be quite slim.
Under such circumstances, True Lord You Yun agreeing to True Lord Luo Jing's request was already considered giving a favor.
But True Lord Luo Jing used such a favor to befriend a Golden Core Stage cultivator like He Song.
True Lord Luo Jing's behavior naturally made True Lord You Yun curious.
What exactly was so extraordinary about this True Person Evergreen Pine before her that could make True Lord Luo Jing willing to owe a favor, just to ask for help.
Although this matter was not big, it was enough to show True Lord Luo Jing's emphasis on He Song.
And just as True Lord You Yun was sizing up He Song.
He Song had already picked up the jade slip in front of him, and extended his Divine Sense to roughly scan the information within the jade slip.
After confirming that the Golden Core Talisman Dao method recorded in this jade slip was indeed what he needed.
A hint of joy flashed across He Song's face.
Golden Core Talisman Dao Jade Slip.
In hand!
Now that the Golden Core Talisman Dao Jade Slip was in hand, then next, he only needed to return to his cave dwelling and wholeheartedly comprehend it.
When he successfully comprehended the Golden Core spirit talisman drawing method within, his identity could also transform into a newly advanced Golden Core Talisman Master.
The identity of a Golden Core Talisman Master, although it was almost the most inconspicuous among He Song's many identities.
However, He Song had claimed to be a Talisman Master since the Qi Condensation Stage.
Now that He Song's cultivation had stepped into the Golden Core Realm, even if he revealed his identity as a Golden Core Talisman Master, it would be quite normal.
In this way, in the eyes of outsiders, He Song's identity was that of a Golden Core cultivator who had never given up on studying the Talisman Dao.
Even if he occasionally revealed his Talisman Dao cultivation externally, it would not be surprising.
Even in battles, others would be wary of He Song's identity as a Golden Core Talisman Master, fearing that he might take them by surprise and directly take out hundreds of Golden Core spirit talismans and bombard them wildly.
If such a situation really occurred, even Golden Core True Lords might not be able to withstand it.
Under such deterrence, He Song's own safety would naturally be more guaranteed.
The identity of a Talisman Master also became an identity that He Song could publicize.
However, after confirming that the Golden Core Talisman Dao Jade Slip in his hand was indeed what he needed, He Song did not leave immediately.
Instead, he turned his gaze to True Lord You Yun in front of him.
At this moment.
True Lord You Yun was still looking at He Song without blinking, still pondering in her heart why True Lord Luo Jing valued He Song so much.
When He Song's gaze turned over, True Lord You Yun realized her gaffe, quickly retracted her gaze, and gave He Song an embarrassed smile.
Seeing this, He Song was puzzled, but did not say anything.
The appearances of cultivators in the cultivation world were all quite good.
Whether it was Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment, or Golden Core Nascent Soul, almost all of them had excellent appearances.
He would not naively think that True Lord You Yun before him had taken a fancy to his appearance.
And thus lost her composure.
That was not logical.
Therefore, He Song just nodded slightly to her as a signal, and then asked about the price of this item.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist You Yun, this item is indeed what I need."
"However, I do not know the value of this item, can I pay with spirit stones?"
"If it is bartering, I also have some spirit pills and spirit talismans that I have exchanged from other fellow cultivators, I wonder if Fellow Daoist is willing to exchange?"
Golden Core Realm items, in fact, many things can only be bartered for.
Cultivators who can step into the Golden Core Realm generally do not lack spirit stones.
Under such circumstances, bartering was not a particularly unacceptable thing.
Especially after He Song was able to refine Golden Core spirit pills and inferior artifacts himself, bartering was no longer difficult for He Song.
Inferior artifacts and Golden Core spirit pills were both tradable items in the Golden Core Realm, and were of high value.
As long as they were Golden Core cultivators, almost all of them had this need.
With these things in hand, He Song could almost exchange for whatever he wanted.
He just did not know whether this Golden Core Talisman Dao Jade Slip in his hand was to be purchased with spirit stones, or needed to be bartered.
"Since Fellow Daoist has confirmed, this little girl will not say anything more."
"Although this item is quite precious, it is still in the category that can be purchased with spirit stones."
"For Senior Sister Luo Jing's sake, Fellow Daoist only needs to give eighteen thousand mid-grade spirit stones, which is also this little girl making friends with Fellow Daoist."
As True Lord You Yun's words came, He Song's expression remained normal, but he sighed slightly in his heart.
Sure enough, buying things from acquaintances was still more cost-effective than buying from strangers.
