Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 631: Chapter 517: Guardian Spirit Beast _2

But after some thought, he awkwardly smiled, swallowing back the words of complaint he had initially intended to share with He Song.

Instead, his face took on an added tint of satisfaction.

“That is only natural.”

“When I was at the Foundation Establishment Realm, fighting against others, I always had the strength of two great Foundation Establishment warriors. Ordinary cultivators could only flee upon seeing me.”

“And it was precisely because of this that I seized the opportunity to break through to the Golden Core Realm, henceforth stepping into that realm.”

“It can be said that if not for this Foundation Establishment Spirit Tiger, I would probably have had no chance of reaching Golden Elixir.”

“Therefore, even after breaking through to the Golden Core Realm, I still kept it by my side.”

The pride on True Monarch Fei Hu’s face did not linger for too long.

He spoke only this much, and then the tone of his speech shifted, followed by a sigh.

He continued.

“However, it is a pity.”

“After reaching Golden Elixir, whenever I fought against others, I had to be mindful of the Spiritual Tiger’s safety, inevitably distracting me during battles.”

“Alas.”

“After many attempts, I now have the idea of raising it within the Family, allowing it to become the guardian spirit beast of the Zhao family.”

“Perhaps, after continuous nurturing over time, this tiger might also reach the Golden Core Realm, protecting our clan.”

“But before that, it will be hard for it to stay by my side any longer.”

“I will certainly have to fight others in the future, and it’s not possible for me to always be distracted by ensuring its safety.”

“If it were truly killed in battle, it would be better to raise it within the Family, with the hope that one day it might break through the Golden Core Realm.”

“This way, at least it may die a natural death, not having lived this life in vain.”

True Monarch Fei Hu’s gaze wandered to the Foundation Establishment Spirit Tiger outside the pavilion. After recounting past events, he began to speak of his subsequent arrangements for the Foundation Establishment Spirit Tiger.

According to his thoughts, since the Foundation Establishment Spirit Tiger could no longer assist him and still required his protection, it naturally could not stay by his side anymore.

This is a decision almost all cultivators would make.

And he chose not to abandon it outright but rather to leave it within the Family to be raised as a guardian spirit beast.

By doing so, he did not abandon it; instead, he gave it an opportunity to reach the Golden Core Realm and protected it from further danger.

In such a case.

True Monarch Fei Hu felt that informing He Song of his subsequent arrangements for the Foundation Establishment Spirit Tiger should not cause any displeasure.

Even more, it might make He Song affirm his thoughts.

In doing so, when he later spoke to He Song about capturing a Gold Core Spirit Beast, He Song might even be more supportive.

Having used the art of language to forcefully bring the previously derailed conversation back on track.

True Monarch Fei Hu let out a sigh of relief within his heart, his look towards He Song no longer carrying the awkwardness of disrupted plans.

And after hearing what True Monarch Fei Hu had said.

A flicker of admiration naturally crossed He Song’s face.

True Monarch Fei Hu’s approach, obviously, could not be considered heartless or disloyal.

At the very least, True Monarch Fei Hu did not directly abandon the Foundation Establishment Spirit Tiger; instead, he planned to raise it within the Family as a guardian spirit beast.

In this way, the danger this Foundation Establishment Spirit Tiger would encounter in the future would be greatly reduced.

Better than keeping it at his side and having it carelessly killed by some Golden Elixir Master during a battle.

In that case, it couldn’t be said he had mistreated the Foundation Establishment Spirit Tiger.

As the guardian spirit beast of a Golden Core Family, its previous master being True Monarch Fei Hu himself.

The treatment of this Foundation Establishment Spirit Tiger within the Zhao family could naturally be imagined.

If true to what True Monarch Fei Hu had said, with such arrangements, in a number of years, this Foundation Establishment Spirit Tiger might indeed reach the Golden Core Realm.

By then, wouldn’t the Zhao family possess two Golden Elixir Masters?

Ideas of this nature flashed through He Song’s mind, and as he looked at True Monarch Fei Hu, admiration naturally filled his eyes even more.

This True Monarch Fei Hu seems not to be as heartless and unprincipled as I thought.

However.

It was when He Song mulled over this in his heart, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes and a slight nod, thinking that True Monarch Fei Hu’s idea was completely feasible.

Seeing He Song’s response, True Monarch Fei Hu’s expression also revealed a hint of delight.

Since He Song showed approval, it naturally meant that he acknowledged True Monarch Fei Hu’s actions.

Now that He Song had approved of his method of raising the Foundation Establishment Realm Spiritual Tiger within his family as a protective spirit beast.

Then, it should be likely that He Song wouldn’t refuse to help him capture a Golden Core Realm spirit beast next, right?

With this thought, True Monarch Fei Hu immediately spoke up, seizing the moment to press his advantage.

“It’s regrettable that after losing the Foundation Establishment Spiritual Tiger, I currently don’t have another spirit beast at hand that can provide help, leaving me quite helpless.”

“The name of True Monarch Fei Hu may soon be in name only.”

After sighing, True Monarch Fei Hu saw a thoughtful look cross He Song’s face and immediately felt joy.

He hurriedly continued.

“However, there is a way to remedy this situation.”

“Previously, while in a certain place in Purple River State, I accidentally encountered a Twin-winged White Tiger.”

“This Twin-winged White Tiger doesn’t seem especially powerful, apparently having just broken through to the Golden Core Realm, and it is in the process of getting used to its own strength.”

“At most, it might be comparable to an Early Jindan Stage cultivator.”

“But as a Golden Elixir demonic beast with formidable strength, I, alone, am helpless against it.”

“Having no other choice, when I discovered this tiger, I had nothing to do but retreat.”

“However, if someone could assist me from the side and help me capture that Twin-winged White Tiger, the chances of seizing the beast would be greatly increased.”

“Fellow cultivator, rest assured, if you agree to accompany me to capture the Twin-winged White Tiger, I will certainly offer a generous reward.”

“Also, I will discuss the matter with a few other Gold Core cultivators from Zichuan Prefecture Government, and we will head there together, at least four of us, or even five.”

“With four Golden Elixir Masters, or even five, joining hands, that Twin-winged White Tiger will hardly be able to escape.”

“In this way, not only do you not need to worry about any danger, but you will also obtain substantial rewards from me.”

“I wonder if you would be willing?”

“If you have any doubts, please feel free to express them, and I will surely provide you with a satisfactory answer.”

Having said that, True Monarch Fei Hu fixed his gaze on He Song, eagerly anticipating his response.

He Song was crucial to his plan this time.

If He Song were to agree, then the mission could be considered half successful already.

But if He Song refused.

I’m afraid I would need to consider the long-term and see if there are other methods to carry on.

As for whether He Song would spread the word about this after being informed, leading to a leak of information and wasted effort on my part—

True Monarch Fei Hu had his own sense of judgment.

Having interacted with He Song over these past few months, he had gained some understanding of He Song’s character.

Even though he had shared this matter with He Song, even if He Song chose not to accept, it was unlikely he would broadcast it.

For a Gold Core cultivator like He Song who came from a powerful background, such a trivial matter was not significant enough to concern him.

Those from great powers are not the same as ordinary cultivators.

Just as those from Treasure Pavilion normally wouldn’t covet the treasures of other cultivators,

those who come from the Nascent Soul Upper Sect wouldn’t find ordinary possessions too precious either.

When he first learned that He Song came from a powerful force, True Monarch Fei Hu had already thought of this.

This was why he talked about this matter and sought consultation with He Song, despite not knowing whether He Song would agree.

Because he knew.

Even if He Song was informed of this matter, he wouldn’t do anything excessive under my request.
