Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation-Chapter 309 - 301: Master’s Disciple
Chapter 309: Chapter 301: Master’s Disciple
Translator: 549690339
He Song was not too surprised as to why Master Yun Jing would know the purpose of his visit.
The auction catalog that he had previously obtained from Master Luo Jing probably came from Master Yun Jing’s hands as well.
It was normal for her to guess, hear, or ask something about it.
Since Master Yun Jing and Master Luo Jing were from the same sect, He Song had been mentally prepared.
Thus, after hearing Master Yun Jing’s self-introduction and inquiry, He Song nodded slightly and took out the jade slip he had brought along from his storage bag.
“I have seen Master Yun Jing. My name is Cang Song, and I am indeed here for the once-every-ten-years auction.”
“This is the jade slip entrusted to me by Master Luo Jing, for me to deliver to you.”
“Please accept it. Master Luo Jing has already paid the reward, so there’s no need for you to worry.”
He Song placed the jade slip on the table and pushed it towards Master Yun Jing, thereby delivering the item.
Seeing this, Master Yun Jing was slightly startled.
She didn’t expect He Song to be so straightforward.
But recalling Master Luo Jing’s high praise for He Song, Master Yun Jing’s thoughts shifted.
It seemed that this Master Cang Song was indeed a person worth making friends with, just as her Senior Sister had said.
However, although such a thought flashed through her mind, Master Yun Jing did not reveal anything and simply picked up the jade slip from the table.
She then sent her divine sense into it, checking the information inside.
A moment later…
With a slightly flushed face, Master Yun Jing opened her eyes again, having thoroughly memorized the information within the jade slip.
“Master Cang Song is truly trustworthy. My senior sister once told me that you are an upright person worthy of befriending. Now it seems that her words were not false.”
“I do not wish to conceal from you that there is a hidden forbidden art within this jade slip. Without our sect’s secret skill, if anyone attempts to forcefully view it, the information within the jade slip will be destroyed.”
“By then, the jade slip that falls into my hands will become a useless object.”
“Master Luo Jing did not inform you beforehand. I hope you can forgive our oversight.”
“It was a small-mindedness on our part.”
“If you don’t mind, I have a generous gift I’d like to offer, in the hope of you pardoning and allowing us to make up for our mistake.”
The moment she opened her eyes, Master Yun Jing stood up, saluted He Song, and apologized repeatedly, saying that she had a great gift to make up for her and her sister’s mistake.
As she said, there was indeed a forbidden art within the jade slip. Had He Song been unable to resist peeking at it during the journey, the jade slip would be rendered useless in her hands.
By that time, although He Song would have already received more than 10,000 spirit stones as a “reward” from Master Luo Jing, he would have messed up the task.
Taking someone’s “reward” of over 10,000 spirit stones in advance but failing to fulfill the task wouldn’t result in anything good for He Song.
Nevertheless, even though he knew that the jade slip contained some kind of secret, He Song did not show any interest in the information inside it.
It’s worth noting that He Song was not aware of the forbidden art hidden within the jade slip.
Even if he had taken a look, he would have done so under the premise that nobody would find out.
He Song had remained true to himself and did not pry into the contents of the jade slip.
Under such circumstances…
It was no wonder that Master Yun Jing apologized immediately when she realized that He Song had not attempted to access the information inside the jade slip during the journey.
She also promised to present He Song with a great gift in an attempt to make up for their oversight and to maintain a good relationship between them in the future.
Upon hearing Master Yun Jing’s words…
He Song frowned slightly.
There was a forbidden art in the jade slip?
Forcibly accessing the jade slip would lead to the destruction of the information inside?
Forbidden art?
Could Master Luo Jing really set up such a thing?
The word “forbidden” flashed through He Song’s mind, and he began to suspect Master Luo Jing’s identity.
However, he did not care about Master Yun Jing’s apology.
That’s because he had already received the reward from Master Luo Jing before coming to Cloud State Mansion.
More than 10,000, almost 20,000 spirit stones, just to have him deliver a jade slip to the Cloud State Mansion.
So many spirit stones…
That’s a Foundation Establishment Master’s annual salary!
If someone could give an annual salary for just delivering a jade slip…
Would he still want to peek at the contents of the jade slip and lose his integrity?
It was like in his previous life when someone paid a hundred thousand yuan for him to deliver a letter to another city.
If you received a hundred thousand yuan in advance, would you still want to read someone else’s letter?
If there were any damage to the letter, you wouldn’t feel at ease with the hundred thousand yuan you took, right?
Given the chance for such a good deal, how could He Song possibly peek at the contents of the jade slip?
In other words, He Song actually did not think that Master Yun Jing’s apology was necessary.
It was a trivial matter.
Who doesn’t use some sealing wax to prevent letters from being read?
However, the mention of the “forbidden art” by Master Yun Jing aroused some thoughts in He Song.
According to Master Yun Jing’s description, Master Luo Jing was capable of setting up forbidden arts.
He Song had heard of such things before, but he had never seen anything like it in reality.
Even the simplest forbidden art, He Song had never seen before in any place.
As a Foundation Establishment Master, he had never come into contact with the prohibition, which showed how rare and valuable such things were.
So, why was Master Luo Jing, a sub-pavilion master, able to learn what He Song, a Foundation Establishment elder of the Golden Core Sect, had never learned?
Moreover, Master Luo Jing and Master Yun Jing were senior and junior sisters.
Naturally, this also meant that there must be a master above them.
Could it be that their master was a Golden Elixir Master?
If that were the case, it would also make sense that Master Luo Jing could set up the prohibition.
This thing.
Should come from that Golden Elixir Master.
A flash of insight crossed his mind, and He Song’s gaze at Master Yun Jing in front of him suddenly carried a different glint. The person in front of him, Master Yun Jing.
Seemed not so simple.
Her identity might be a disciple of a Golden Elixir Master.
A disciple of a Golden Elixir Master, huh.
In this Cloud State Mansion, would her words be more effective than any Foundation Establishment Master?
Especially in the Treasure Pavilion where she works.
A bold idea flashed through his mind, but He Song’s face remained calm, just quietly looking at Yun Jing.
Seeing that He Song simply looked at her without speaking, Master Yun Jing’s face turned red, and she hurriedly explained a few more words in a low voice.
Seeing that Master Yun Jing seemed a little overwhelmed.
As if she would soon share the information in the jade slip with him.
Seeing this, He Song waved his hand to stop Master Yun Jing’s words.
“There’s no need to worry, since I’ve accepted Master Luo Jing’s payment, I’ll naturally handle this matter properly.”
“You have done nothing wrong; it’s all human nature.”
“It’s just… I thought I was straightforward, but I didn’t expect to be guarded against in the end.”
“Sigh.”
Shaking his head, He Song showed a dispirited expression on his face.
Looking at him, it seemed like he was really hurt.
However, although He Song showed a dispirited look on his face, in his heart, he was quite satisfied with his performance.
Although he didn’t care about the prohibition in the jade slip, such things have been done, and if there was a mistake, he had to admit it.
Master Yun Jing’s apology was commendable.
But that’s not the reason for He Song to forgive her directly.
Since you know you’re wrong.
Then show your sincerity.
Present the big gift you mentioned earlier with both hands.
He’s already said so much and even showed a hurtful look on his face.
Isn’t it time for you to offer a big gift to soothe my wounded heart?
As He Song expected.
Since this matter was the fault of sisters Yun Jing and Luo Jing.
Of course, after hearing He Song’s words and noticing the change in his expression, Master Yun Jing immediately waved her hands.
At the same time, there was also a hint of embarrassment on Master Yun Jing’s face.
He Song’s words were too hurtful, as if pointing their fingers at them and calling them petty people.
He just spoke a little more tactfully.
To reverse He Song’s impression of them, it was naturally time for a big gift to come forth.
After all, when He Song came, Master Luo Jing had already told her that they should try to befriend him if possible.
Befriending an upright Foundation Establishment Master was always a good thing.
“This… this is not right, this matter is indeed the fault of me and my sister, Master, please forgive us.”
“Since Master has come here, why not listen to what the big gift is?”
“I once heard from my senior sister that Master came here because he was interested in one of the items being auctioned at the Treasure Pavilion.”
“Is it true?”
With a hint of embarrassment, Master Yun Jing finished speaking and her beautiful eyes immediately stared unblinkingly at He Song.
She wanted to see his reaction.
Unfortunately.
He Song’s expression didn’t change much.
After hearing her words, he only nodded calmly and said yes.
Seeing this, Master Yun Jing felt a little regretful in her heart.
Why did she mention this earlier?
If she didn’t mention it, she could have had a nice chat with He Song, but she didn’t realize that by saying it, she seemed to have offended him.
However, if she didn’t say it, it would be a waste of He Song’s effort to come all this way without any ulterior motives.
In that case, it would seem even more disrespectful to He Song.
After some thought, Master Yun Jing finally decided to continue speaking.
At least, after presenting this gift, she could certainly mend their relationship; otherwise, what if He Song went back and broke off relations with her senior sister?
Thinking of the scene of her senior sister coming to confront her, Master Yun Jing wanted to take back the words she had said earlier..
