The spiritual Qi concentration here was also similar to where Wei Fan lived.
It made He Song feel as if he had returned to Wei Fan’s house as a guest.
Fortunately, that feeling was just an illusion.
After He Song moved all his belongings into his new residence, he made some minor changes to the house.
Soon, the entire small courtyard was refreshed, and compared to before, it had gained a trace of earthly warmth.
It was now noticeably different from Wei Fan’s courtyard.
“In the future, I will probably live here for a long time, so I need to prepare for safety measures.”
He secretly thought about digging a hole under the courtyard in the future.
But soon, He Song shook his head.
He decided to wait until he returned from the Green Wall Immortal City before digging the hole.
He would leave for Green Wall Immortal City tomorrow. If he started digging now, he couldn’t dig too deep.
Instead, it would be better to wait until he came back and then start digging.
By then, he could design a deeper hole than the one outside the Immortal Pavilion.
If something went wrong, he could hide underground.
Now, the most important thing was to go to the Artifacts Pavilion to exchange the two lower-grade artifacts on his body—one for attack and one for defense—to two middle-grade artifacts.
With two middle-grade artifacts on his body, along with some spirit amulets, there would be no mistakes in this trip to the Green Wall Immortal City.
After taking out all his belongings and putting them in his new home, with only spirit rice left in his cargo storage bag, He Song stepped out of the courtyard and headed towards the Artifacts Pavilion.
The Artifacts Pavilion was located on the outer perimeter of the Immortal Pavilion.
Rather than that,
Most shops that sell items to the public are located on the outer perimeter of the Immortal Pavilion.
Barely any Qi Refining Late Stage cultivators, their maidservants, attendants, or friends were allowed in the inner circle of the Immortal Pavilion.
For ordinary loose cultivators, entering the inner circle was not easy.
So, shops like the Artifacts Pavilion, which conducted transactions with the public, were generally found on the outer perimeter of the Immortal Pavilion.
He Song arrived at the Artifacts Pavilion along the way.
“Mr. He…. Sir He, congratulations on your great progress in cultivation. Your Foundation Establishment is imminent. Please take a seat.”
As soon as He Song stepped into the Artifacts Pavilion, a figure appeared next to him.
At first, this person naturally addressed He Song as Mr. He when he saw that an acquaintance had come.
But halfway through his greeting, a flash of insight caught his eye and he quickly corrected himself, changing from calling He Song, Mr. He, to Sir He.
To his surprise, He Song, who had been at the sixth-tier Qi Refining stage two years ago, had successfully advanced to the seventh-tier Qi Refining stage and was now a Qi-refining late stage cultivator.
The gap between the Qi-refining mid stage and the Qi-refining late stage was enormous in terms of cultivation and status.
so,
The person who had been calling He Song “Mr. He” quickly changed his tone and respectfully invited him once he realized that He Song had broken through to the Qi-refining late stage.
He Song recognized this person.
His name was Lv Yang, and his cultivation level was the same as He Song’s before—sixth- tier Qi Refining. He was the manager of the Artifacts Pavilion.
Two years ago, when He Song had an abundance of spirit stones, he came here to buy two lower-grade artifacts—one for attack and one for defense—and was received by Lv Yang.
Naturally, Lv Yang was the first to greet He Song when he arrived this time.
However, he couldn’t believe it.
In just two short years, He Song, who could only afford two lower-grade artifacts, had broken through to the seventh-tier Qi Refining stage. The envy in Lv Yang’s gaze was so intense that it was almost overflowing.
Qi Refining Late Stage, eh?
Its status and position were beyond comparison to that of a cultivator who had been stuck at the Qi Refining Mid Stage for a long time but hadn’t yet broken through.
As far as he knew, He Song’s age wasn’t too high.
Such a young cultivator who had broken through to the Qi Refining Late Stage would certainly attempt Foundation Establishment before the age of sixty.
If unsuccessful, a Qi Refining Ninth Stage cultivation would still be enough for He Song to live an unimaginably happy life for the rest of his days.
If successful…
“Well, bring me some middle-grade artifacts. The lower-grade artifacts I have on hand are not enough. I need to change them.”
Following Lv Yang’s invitation, He Song came to the VIP lounge where Lv Yang respectfully served tea. He Song then stated his request.
As for Lv Yang, He Song barely knew him—they had just met once and been served by him once.
The two of them weren’t really familiar with each other, they only knew of each other.
As such, He Song didn’t have any intention of making small talk with Lv Yang. Instead, he just wanted to get his business done as quickly as possible, adjust his state, and be ready to set off for Green Wall Immortal City tomorrow morning.
“Please wait a moment, sir. I will go get them right away.”
As He Song instructed, Lv Yang didn’t dare to slack off.
After pouring a cup of tea for He Song, Lv Yang respectfully responded and then turned to leave.
However, soon after his departure, a beautiful young girl entered the VIP Lounge and offered He Song a refill on his tea.
During this time, she inquired softly with apprehension, fearing that something might go wrong.
Seeing this situation, He Song was taken aback but didn’t object.
He couldn’t help but sigh inwardly at the same time.
When he was at the Qi Refining Early Stage, he didn’t even dare to enter the Artifacts Pavilion’s door.
At that time, he only dared to go to the Spirit Skill Pavilion to buy some basic skills and look at some books on cultivation knowledge.
When he was at the Qi Refining Mid Stage, he also spent a significant amount of time not setting foot in the Artifacts Pavilion.
Even when going to the Spirit Skill Pavilion, he had to carefully weigh the amount of spirit stones he had on him.
Moreover, despite getting to know Ping’er, a steward of the Spirit Skill Pavilion, he never enjoyed the service of the girls in the VIP room.
However,
When he arrived at the Artifact Pavilion during the Qi Refining Sixth Stage to buy two lower-grade artifacts—one for attack and one for defense—the treatment he received was completely different.
At that point, Lv Yang simply walked away while He Song had to wait for his return.
But when he entered the Qi Refining Late Stage,
Although he had just broken through to the seventh-tier Qi Refining stage,
The moment he entered the Artifacts Pavilion, he was greeted by Lv Yang’s respectful smile.
After that, he was invited directly into the VIP lounge without any questions asked.
At the same time, he didn’t forget to arrange for the beautiful girl to serve tea and water to He Song during their waiting time.
The difference in treatment made He Song realize the connection between cultivation and status.
It also made him realize that,
As long as his cultivation improved, anything that he couldn’t enjoy before would become available to him.
At the same time, it made him understand one thing.
As long as he lived long enough and his cultivation was high enough, he could continue to enjoy a beautiful life that ordinary people could only dream of.
“This kind of longevity is what our generations should pursue.” He let out a sigh in his heart, and He Song suddenly felt refreshed.
His cultivation had reached the Qi Refining Late Stage.
At least in this small Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion, with his current cultivation, he was definitely among the very few people at the top of the pyramid.
As such, besides being careful in his daily life, he should try to make his life a little better too.
A Qi Refining Late Stage cultivator,
Would it be too much to ask for a slightly better life?
