Chapter 209: Ascending Heaven Inn

He spent tens of thousands more spirit stones, purchasing even more materials for making spirit puppets.

Refining spirit puppets wasn't always successful.

Naturally, it was impossible to only prepare one set of materials for making spirit puppets.

Since he was here, he bought more to avoid having to leave the immortal market again to buy materials if his refining failed.

That would be too troublesome.

It was better to buy more at once and start refining spirit puppets after returning to the immortal market.

Preparing several sets of puppet refining materials cost tens of thousands of spirit stones.

He Song pondered for a moment and then purchased some defensive spirit talismans and life-saving spirit talismans used by Foundation Establishment cultivators at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

The price of defensive spirit talismans that could be used by Foundation Establishment cultivators was much higher than that of defensive spirit talismans used by Qi Condensation cultivators.

The defensive spirit talismans and life-saving spirit talismans he purchased, combined.

Cost him a full several thousand spirit stones.

Such a terrifying expenditure made He Song gasp in astonishment.

However, as a talisman master, he also understood the difficulty of the talisman path.

Foundation Establishment spirit talismans were so expensive, their cost shouldn't be too low.

As for the specific cost, He Song would probably only know after he became a Foundation Establishment talisman master and personally drew one.

Currently, He Song's study of the talisman path was far from reaching the level where he could draw Foundation Establishment spirit talismans.

Right now, it wasn't difficult for He Song to quickly improve on the talisman path.

After Foundation Establishment.

Having learned the Aura Observation Technique, the difficulty of understanding the talisman path and mastering the method of drawing spirit talismans would be greatly reduced.

The Aura Observation Technique was incredibly useful for almost all cultivation skills.

And because of this.

After learning the Aura Observation Technique, True Persons of Foundation Establishment only needed to study a little to completely master the introductory chapters of those cultivation skills that didn't require talent but only diligent study.

But that was all.

As for introductory texts like the Introduction to Formation Dao and the Introductory Path of Talisman Techniques, the difficulty of studying them only slightly decreased after learning the Aura Observation Technique.

The gap between the introductory chapter and the initial chapter was still very large.

It was like the gap between the Qi Condensation stage and the Foundation Establishment stage.

Like a chasm.

He Song was able to learn the Minor Spirit Gathering Formation, the Mist Veil Formation, and the Seven Kill Skyfire Array from the Introduction to Formation Dao because he had some talent in the formation path.

In addition, his soul was strong, and his learning speed for cultivation skills was much faster than that of ordinary cultivators.

It was precisely because of these two points that He Song's study of the Introduction to Formation Dao was so smooth.

After spending thousands of spirit stones to purchase some Foundation Establishment defensive spirit talismans and life-saving spirit talismans.

He Song took his leave, amidst the confused and puzzled gaze of Jiang Fei.

After He Song's back disappeared from the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

A trace of doubt flashed in Jiang Fei's eyes.

"He's a cultivator at the Great Perfection of Qi Condensation, why is he buying Foundation Establishment spirit talismans?"

"Could it be that he's buying them for his master?"

"The materials he bought before seem to be used by True Persons of Foundation Establishment."

"Hiss, could this be a disciple of a True Person?"

"Or..."

Looking at He Song's receding figure, Jiang Fei thought carefully and realized that he hadn't done anything out of line during his transaction with He Song.

Only then did Jiang Fei breathe a sigh of relief, a trace of lingering fear flashing across his face.

"Fortunately, fortunately, I recently took a concubine, and my life is comfortable and my mood is good, so I didn't speak wildly and offend this person."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have caused a big disaster."

While feeling fortunate, Jiang Fei also tried to squeeze out a smile.

It seemed as if he wanted to use this smile to remind himself that he must smile at every customer who came in.

Not paying attention to Jiang Fei's actions behind him.

After purchasing several sets of puppet refining materials and Foundation Establishment spirit talismans, He Song left the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

He found another inn nearby.

He was going to change his outfit so he could leave Green Wall Immortal City.

But.

Just as He Song casually stepped into an inn and took out ten spirit stones to book a room for ten days.

The shopkeeper in front of him smiled and spoke.

"Esteemed guest, this is the Ascending Heaven Inn. The room rate is ten spirit stones per day."

Although he didn't explicitly refuse.

Judging from the shopkeeper's smiling expression, He Song knew that the shopkeeper in front of him was probably obsessed with money.

All other inns were one spirit stone per day.

His place actually required ten spirit stones per day?.

And it was also called the Ascending Heaven Inn?.

What?.

Could staying at the Ascending Heaven Inn for one night allow one to ascend to heaven and become an immortal?.

Although He Song had many spirit stones, after some spending, he still had more than 100,000 spirit stones left.

But he wouldn't spend them like this.

Save when you should, spend when you should.

For his own strength, He Song could casually spend tens of thousands, or even more than 100,000 spirit stones, without batting an eye.

But in this situation, he didn't want to give even one more spirit stone.

"Guest, don't be like this. More than ten years ago, the Ascending Heaven Inn produced a True Person of Foundation Establishment. That True Person ascended to heaven in one step and successfully established his foundation here."

"Therefore, my inn was renamed Ascending Heaven Inn."

"With that senior's precedent, if you break through to Foundation Establishment here, it might increase your success rate."

"Ten spirit stones a night is really not expensive. If it were a few years ago, you would have to queue up to book a room."

Seeing that He Song seemed to want to turn around and leave, the shopkeeper quickly explained.

As he spoke, he puffed out his chest, seeming to feel that the name Ascending Heaven Inn had brought him glory.

But.

Listening to the shopkeeper's explanation.

He Song felt that something was increasingly wrong.

More than ten years ago?.

Successfully established his foundation here?.

What was this... How was this so similar to himself?.

Scanning his surroundings, a trace of astonishment flashed in He Song's eyes.

This inn seemed to be the inn where he had "broken through to Foundation Establishment".

Although the various decorations of this inn had changed, the overall layout had only undergone some minor changes.

It was because He Song had just casually chosen an inn to change his appearance and leave Green Wall Immortal City, without paying attention to the surrounding environment.

He also hadn't carefully examined this inn.

Otherwise, He Song would probably have recognized it before even entering the inn.

This inn.

Was indeed the inn where he had "broken through to Foundation Establishment" more than ten years ago.

But he hadn't expected.

He had just casually chosen an inn to "break through to Foundation Establishment", and after the breakthrough, this inn was actually renamed Ascending Heaven Inn.

Now.

More than ten years later.

Not only did this Ascending Heaven Inn still exist.

But it was also charging him, the originator, a high room rate.

Thinking of this, He Song's gaze towards the shopkeeper suddenly became a little strange.

Then.

He didn't say anything else.

Instead, he took out a hundred spirit stones and gently placed them on the table.

"Give me a room for ten days."

And at the moment He Song gave the spirit stones.

He Song only felt that everything in front of him seemed a little unreal.

Himself.

Because of an unintentional small matter.

Had become a legend in people's mouths.

This Ascending Heaven Inn, the legend of ascending to heaven in one step, would probably exist in Green Wall Immortal City for a long, long time, right?.

But probably no one knew that the person who left this legend.

When he returned here by chance, he also needed to pay ten times the spirit stones to stay here because of the legend he had left behind.

Thinking of this, He Song couldn't help but look strange.

His gaze towards the shopkeeper also contained a trace of wry amusement. 

This shopkeeper.

Was truly a wonderful person.

"Alright, esteemed guest, please come in."

Seeing He Song put out a hundred spirit stones, the shopkeeper's face beamed with joy, and he quickly greeted He Song and checked him into the inn.

Seeing this situation.

He Song didn't say anything more.

He just glanced around, comparing the furnishings of this inn with what he had seen when he established his foundation more than ten years ago.

Sure enough, apart from some small details, everything matched up.

Even the room he had lived in, He Song also heard the price from the shopkeeper.

"You're talking about this room? This is the room where that True Person lived when he broke through to Foundation Establishment. The price is not expensive. Give me a hundred spirit stones, and I'll arrange it for you for one night."

A room he had casually chosen.

Now it cost a hundred spirit stones a night.

This made He Song somewhat speechless.

Waving his hand to refuse the shopkeeper's invitation, He Song quickly entered his newly opened room.

He closed the door.

Activated the formation.

And concealed all his aura.

After that.

He Song shook his head, took off his black robe, and burned it.

Then he took off all the other things on his body, washed himself and his various items with magical power.

Only then did he take out another black robe from his storage pouch and put it on.

He stuffed the things he had taken off back into the black robe.

After doing all this.

With a thought, He Song's appearance changed drastically from before.

When his appearance was completely different from before, and he couldn't be recognized or tracked.

He Song walked out of the inn and headed towards the distance.

But.

After walking out of the inn, He Song didn't forget to look back at the name of the inn.

"Ascending Heaven Inn."

"It really is the Ascending Heaven Inn."

"I didn't expect that a random choice could leave a legend here."

Sighing inwardly, He Song turned around and walked slowly towards the outside of Green Wall Immortal City.

This time.

The things he needed to do in Green Wall Immortal City were completely finished.

The puppet-making materials were enough for him to refine several spirit puppets.

His defensive spirit talismans and life-saving spirit talismans were also fully prepared.

There was no longer any value in staying here.

Therefore.

After thinking about it, He Song left Green Wall Immortal City and headed towards the Earth Sect's mountain gate.

Next.

He needed to return to the Earth Sect's mountain gate and go to the Scripture Pavilion to find a spirit plant that could be cultivated, so that he would have enough spirit stones after Foundation Establishment.

Whether it was spirit rice that could improve cultivation after being consumed by Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Or other spirit medicines that could bring him benefits, they could all be cultivated.

He had been a spirit farmer since he entered the cultivation world.

He was naturally no stranger to these things.
