Chapter 531: Chapter 468: Successfully Elixir Establishment

A few days later, when the date matched, it wouldn’t arouse Meng Guan’s suspicion.

Otherwise, He Song had closed up for cultivation a few days later than Wei Fan, but both of them had broken through to the Golden Elixir Realm at the same time.

Moreover, from Meng Guan’s point of view, He Song could not compare to Wei Fan in terms of familiarity with the Golden Core Path.

Before that, Wei Fan had already attempted to break through once, so he was naturally more experienced than He Song.

If He Song had broken through to the Golden Elixir Realm at the same time as Wei Fan, it might give rise to questions.

Although it was a trivial matter and not a major one.

He Song, who fully understood the principle that details determined success or failure, would never leave significant flaws in such matters.

Therefore, when He Song learned that Wei Fan had stepped into the Golden Core Realm and successfully became a Golden Elixir Master, he didn’t reply to Meng Guan’s letter right away.

Instead, a few days later, He Song casually took out a piece of thin paper and left row after row of handwriting on it.

“Thank you for your concern, my friend.”

“My Elixir Establishment went very smoothly this time. However, the two Golden Congealing Elixir Pills in my hands have been consumed.”

“I suppose, if there had been only one Golden Congealing Elixir Pill this time, my breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm would not have been so smooth.”

“As for the Golden Congealing Elixir Pill left by Wei, I no longer need it, and you can keep it.”

“Furthermore, please inform Wei of this matter and congratulate him on my behalf for successfully stepping into the Golden Core Realm and becoming a true Golden Elixir Master.”

“In addition, I happened to obtain a Golden Elixir Realm cultivation skill and several secret skills in this opportune place.”

“Even low-grade spirit artifacts were nearby.”

“Although I have broken through to the Golden Elixir Realm, I want to change my cultivation skill, learn a few secret skills, and refine the low-grade spirit artifacts before I leave seclusion.”

“As such, it doesn’t seem like I’ll be able to celebrate with you in the short term.”

“What a pity.”

“However, once I successfully leave my closed-door cultivation, I’ll certainly celebrate with you.”

In his reply to Meng Guan, He Song made up his story, not mentioning that he had already broken through to the Golden Elixir Realm. He pretended to have just reached the Golden Core Realm.

At the same time, he stated his intention to change his cultivation skill, learn secret skills and refine spirit artifacts.

In this way, it would be impossible for He Song to leave seclusion without spending a decade or more.

The celebratory gathering Meng Guan previously mentioned can now only be empty talk.

It’s likely that Meng Guan can understand such behavior.

After all, when Meng Guan first broke through to the Golden Elixir Realm, he had refined two low-grade spirit artifacts in Master Xing Yan’s cave mansion, and learned two Golden Core secret skills before leaving seclusion.

Meng Guan spent more than ten years in Master Xing Yan’s cave mansion after successfully breaking through to the Golden Core Realm, consolidating his cultivation and strengthening his combat power.

Now, He Song has successfully broken through to the Golden Elixir Realm.

Given the conditions, with secret skills to learn, cultivation skills to change, and spirit artifacts to refine, it is natural that he would take a similar path.

With this reasoning in place,

Both Meng Guan and Wei Fan could probably understand the reason for He Song’s decision.

Actually, He Song did so to avoid suspicion.

His cautious character had always been apparent in the eyes of Meng Guan and Wei Fan.

A very cautious person would naturally spend a considerable amount of time strengthening their combat power before venturing out after their cultivation had broken through.

Although He Song’s strength had greatly increased after successfully breaking through to the Golden Core Realm compared to his time at the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection,

The opponents he would face were no longer the Foundation Establishment Masters but the Golden Core Masters.

What if he were caught by a Golden Core Master while passing by their cave mansion?

With He Song’s recently achieved Golden Elixir Realm strength, his life or death would be uncertain.

With his cautious nature, He Song would surely think of this possibility.

He retreated early after breaking through to the Golden Core Realm and went to a hidden cave mansion he had previously opened, mainly to avoid drawing the attention of the Thick Earth Sect’s Golden Elixir Masters.

If he didn’t run away, he might be in danger.

Naturally, He Song wanted to leave the Thick Earth Sect’s sphere of influence as quickly as possible, even if it meant risking being intercepted and killed by other Golden Elixir Masters along the way.

Fortunately, He Song had managed to avoid detection by other Golden Elixir Masters as he traveled to his hidden cave mansion.

But, he would not try something like that again.

If he hadn’t been in danger, he certainly wouldn’t have run around in the outside world just after breaking through his cultivation base.

Meng Guan, who knew He Song well, would naturally think of this.

Once he understood He Song’s cautious nature, Meng Guan wouldn’t suspect that He Song had already stepped into the Golden Elixir Realm and was only mentioning it now.

He Song knew this well, and made sure not to leave any loopholes.

After writing back to Meng Guan, He Song soon immersed himself in the art of artifact refinement once more.

Meanwhile, Meng Guan, who was far away, didn’t say much after receiving He Song’s reply, and accepted He Song’s decision to enter seclusion again without question.

Instead, he informed Wei Fan of He Song’s decision.

After discussing it with Wei Fan, they wrote back to He Song with a letter.

In the letter.
