Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation - Chapter 540 - Chapter 540: Chapter 472 Departure of an Old Friend_2

Chapter 540: Chapter 472 Departure of an Old Friend_2

Initially, He Song deliberately informed Su Qian and An Ning that he would be focused on comprehending the Golden Elixir Concealment Array and asked them not to disturb him. Once he had completed his task, he would naturally contact them.

Subsequently, after ten years of effort, He Song fully understood the Golden Elixir Concealment Array and gained a great opportunity from it.

However, after those ten years, the signatures on the messages he received had all changed to An Ning’s name.

Previously, He Song didn’t pay much attention to this matter.

That’s because he knew that Su Qian was only at the Qi Refining Great Perfection, and it had been many years since her failed Foundation Establishment attempt. So, it was normal for An Ning to act as the messenger instead.

But as more than a decade had passed, He Song suddenly pondered upon this.

He suddenly felt that something was off.

Wasn’t this period too long?

Frowning, He Song calculated the time.

His expression instantly became slightly gloomy.

“Seventy-three years… It’s been so long since you failed at Foundation Establishment.”

“Considering the time, I’m afraid that the ten years I was studying the Golden Elixir Concealment Array was when your lifespan was about to run out, right?”

“Now, another thirteen years have passed, but I don’t know why your disciple An Ning hasn’t informed me of this.”

“Forget it.”

“Leave seclusion and head to the Flying Cloud Immortal Mansion.”

After calculating and sighing, He Song was initially contemplating whether to bring Su Qian and An Ning to the Green Moon Immortal State as well. But at this moment, he suddenly stood up and began to pack his things.

When Su Qian failed her Foundation Establishment breakthrough, she was sixty years old.

Now, it had been a full seventy-three years since Su Qian’s failure.

Ordinary great-perfection Qi Refining cultivators would have a lifespan of around 115 to 120 years.

Taking an average value.

If we assume that Su Qian lived till 117 years old, she would have been dead for over ten years.

But during these ten years, He Song failed to notice this matter, still thinking that Su Qian was alive.

This mentality was actually because He Song had become accustomed to the fact that his own lifespan wouldn’t decrease with the passage of time.

As an everlasting being.

He Song’s own lifespan couldn’t increase.

At the same time, he subconsciously thought that Su Qian’s lifespan should not have reached its limit yet.

And it was precisely because of this subconscious thought that He Song finally remembered the delicate young girl who had been searching for news for him since she was at the first-tier of Qi Refining.

However, what puzzled He Song was.

Although, according to the timeline, Su Qian died during the ten years he was studying the Golden Elixir Concealment Array, and they couldn’t contact him during that time.

But after obtaining the opportunity and returning to his cave mansion, he quickly resumed communication with An Ning.

Why, after Su Qian’s death, had An Ning never mentioned this matter to him?

Could it be that Su Qian had accidentally obtained a Longevity Elixir and was still alive after taking it?

With various thoughts flashing through his mind, He Song quickly shook his head.

After so many years, the probability that Su Qian was still alive was extremely low.

Perhaps, there were other reasons for this.

With these thoughts in mind, He Song quickly came out of seclusion, prepared his belongings, and left his cave mansion. He officially emerged from seclusion and headed north towards the location of Flying Cloud Immortal Mansion as quickly as possible.

He wanted to see what exactly happened in the Flying Cloud Immortal Mansion.

Why had he never received any news of Su Qian’s death?

Why had An Ning concealed this matter from him?

By the way, during this trip, he could also take away the descendants of Lin Cong.

The location of the Flying Cloud Immortal Mansion was in the north of Cloud State, adjacent to the God Locking Sect.

That place might soon be in chaos.

As such.

After rushing at a breakneck pace.

On the tenth day.

He Song’s figure quietly arrived near the Eight-vein Immortal City.

At this time, He Song had already put away his flying boat, and even used the Earth Tunneling Skill to reach this place underground.

Upon arriving here, He Song’s divine sense surged out, and he soon found An Ning, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time, in a courtyard within the Flying Cloud Immortal Mansion.

No other cultivators in the Flying Cloud Immortal Mansion were disturbed.

He Song was underground, easily arriving at the courtyard where An Ning was.

Last time, He Song sent members of the Lin Family to this place, and now, He Song has come to the Flying Cloud Immortal Mansion once again.

During this time, thirty years have passed.

In these thirty years, An Ning’s cultivation has progressed from the fourth-tier of Qi Refining to the Qi Refinement Great Perfection Realm.

Moreover, An Ning’s age seems to be under sixty, and there is still a possibility for her to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Although He Song does not know her exact age, he deduces that it must not exceed sixty based on his calculations.

Now, An Ning, who has already reached the Qi Refinement Great Perfection Realm, naturally lives in the courtyard in the center of the Flying Cloud Immortal Mansion.

When He Song arrived here.

An Ning was sitting in the attic, looking at the distant view with a subtle scent of tea pervading her surroundings.

He Song approached quietly, and upon smelling the subtle aroma of tea, he had a familiar feeling.

Whether it was Su Qian or An Ning in front of him, the letters they sent to him seemed to carry this scent of tea on the paper.

Although faint, it was indeed present.

He Song sighed inwardly and stepped forward, silently sitting beside An Ning.

On the side.

As a cultivator, An Ning naturally detected the anomaly at her side very quickly and turned her head to look at He Song.

“An Ning has seen Sir; I didn’t expect Sir’s sudden arrival. Please forgive me for not welcoming you from afar…”

She recognized He Song.

As soon as she recognized He Song, she immediately stood up and bowed, paying respects to He Song.

An Ning was not prepared at all for He Song’s arrival.

She only noticed someone appearing beside her while she was enjoying her tea.

If her mentality was not strong, she would have been startled and jumped three feet into the air.

Now, as soon as she recognized He Song, she bowed her head and performed the rites, which was her best effort at the moment.

He Song waved his hand slightly, signaling her to stand up.

Then he asked directly.

“An Ning, how is your master now…”

He Song didn’t directly ask why An Ning hadn’t informed him of Su Qian’s death.

He didn’t ask if Su Qian had left any last words either.

He didn’t even ask if Su Qian was still alive.

Such questions would be more appropriate to let An Ning reveal herself to He Song.

He Song’s sudden arrival here was naturally to investigate the matter.

And to take the Lin family members away from here.

As for his inquiry, He Song already had the answer in his heart.

Now, he just wanted to hear from An Ning herself.

“Sir, my master has passed away more than a decade ago. However, my master has told me not to inform you of her death.”

“This is a letter she gave me before she passed away, saying that when Sir arrives, I should give it to Sir.”

“My master also said that once Sir reads this letter, he will surely know her intentions.”

“Sir, please forgive me. At that time, my master didn’t disturb you because you had important matters to attend to.”

When An Ning heard what He Song said, a flash of sorrow appeared on her face, and she gently took out a fire-sealed letter from her storage bag.

The letter was sealed with a well-preserved fire seal, suggesting that An Ning had never read it herself.

Seeing this, He Song had a sudden thought and took the letter.

He peeled off the fire seal, opened the envelope, and took out the letter inside.

He glanced over the letter, and the delicate handwriting filled the paper before him.

This was Su Qian’s handwriting, which He Song had seen countless times.

“Qian’er pays respects to Sir.”

“Wishing Sir a boundless life.”

“By the time Sir arrives, I’m afraid I can no longer meet you in person and say goodbye to you with a salute.”

“Before, I had thought that when my lifespan was about to end, I would put my pride aside and entrust An Ning to Sir’s care, thus finding a great support for An Ning.”

“Unfortunately, my time is running out, and Sir has important matters to attend to, making it difficult for me to entrust her myself.”
