Chapter 727: Playing the Pig to Eat the Tiger?

"At the beginning, when the senior opened his mouth and said that he could offer 150,000 middle-grade spirit stones."

“That Ghost Face Master was very excited, and seemed to be very shocked by the offer of 150,000 middle-grade spirit stones.”

"Later, when the senior gave him 150,000 mid-grade spirit stones, the Ghost Face True Lord's behavior was also very suspicious."

"Even a junior like me could sense something was wrong from the changes in his expression these two times."

"This is not the reaction a Jindan Zhenjun should have when seeing 150,000 middle-grade spirit stones."

"Even if I am just a foundation-building cultivator."

"But I have been in the Treasure Pavilion for a long time, so I am considered to be knowledgeable."

“It is impossible to be as shocked as he is when seeing these 150,000 middle-grade spirit stones.”

"From this, it can be seen that this person's identity must not be what he said. He is a Jindan Zhenjun."

“Perhaps, this person is a foundation-building cultivator, and a cultivator who does not have much experience.”

"Such a foundation-building monk."

"How can I possibly obtain such a cultivator's golden elixir?"

"Unless, this person is extremely lucky and finds a golden elixir cave and takes away all the treasures inside."

"Only then can we explain why this person really has a cultivator's golden elixir."

While chatting, Xiaoqing's sudden words made He Song recall everything he had seen in the mansion of the Ghost-faced True Lord before.

According to what Xiaoqing said.

He Song did see the abnormality of the Ghost-faced Master.

No matter what happened after he mentioned the 150,000 mid-grade spirit stones, the Ghost-faced True Lord's expression changed.

After his expression changed, he immediately agreed to sell the cultivator's golden elixir to He Song for 150,000 medium-grade spirit stones.

Or perhaps, it was the wonderful expression on his face when he finally received the 150,000 medium-grade spirit stones.

All of these quietly appeared in He Song's memory at this moment.

At that time, He Song had doubted the true identity of the Ghost-faced Master in his heart.

However, at that time, He Song was focused on the cultivator's golden elixir and did not speculate too much.

But now, when Xiaoqing also talked about this matter and expressed her own guess.

He Song then recalled the incident again.

The strange expression on the Ghost-faced Master's face flashed through his mind.

He Song's face remained calm.

But deep down in his heart, he had some judgment on his own thoughts before and Xiaoqing's current thoughts.

According to He Song's idea.

The probability that the Ghost-faced True Lord is actually not very high.

Judging from his reaction when faced with the 150,000 medium-grade spirit stones, it is more likely that the Ghost-faced True Lord is actually a Foundation Establishment True Man.

However, even if I feel that this is the fact.

But He Song didn't think there was anything wrong.

Just let him be the Foundation Establishment True Man.

He Song would not care about his specific cultivation level even if this Ghost-faced True Lord was really just a Foundation Establishment True Man, as it would save him tens of thousands of spirit stones.

After all, if the Ghost-faced True Lord's cultivation level is really the Golden Core Realm, it would be quite difficult for him to obtain this cultivator's Golden Core at the price of 150,000 medium-grade spirit stones.

According to He Song's estimation, the price of this cultivator's golden elixir is actually between 150,000 and 200,000.

If the Ghost-faced True Lord's cultivation level is really the Golden Core Realm, he will definitely bargain with himself.

At that time, He Song would definitely have to pay a greater price to be able to take this cultivator's golden elixir from the other party.

And that's why.

When He Song realized this.

He Song actually felt a little relieved about the true cultivation level of the Ghost-faced Master.

so far so good.

Because of his own cultivation level, the Ghost-faced True Lord did not bargain with me.

Otherwise, He Song might have to pay a higher price to obtain this golden elixir from the Ghost-faced True Lord.

As for this Ghost-faced True Lord, his cultivation level is only at the Foundation Establishment stage, but he possesses a cultivator's golden elixir.

He Song actually had some guesses in his mind.

Just like what Xiaoqing said, He Song also felt that the Ghost-faced True Lord might have really found a golden elixir cave on his own.

Moreover, the Jindan Cave was completely looted.

This is the only way to explain why there is a cultivator's golden elixir on his body.

As for what Xiaoqing said at this moment and the purpose of her saying these words, He Song quickly had the answer in his mind.

The reason why Xiaoqing only told me about the matter of Ghost-faced True Lord after she learned so much from me, including the information about how to break through the Golden Core Realm.

Perhaps he wanted to return the favor and draw the attention of the Ghost-faced True Lord.

after all.

According to Xiaoqing's own judgment, the Ghost-faced True Lord must be a foundation-building cultivator without a doubt.

Moreover, there is a great possibility that he is just an independent cultivator and does not have much knowledge.

That's why he lost his composure when he saw the 150,000 medium-grade spirit stones.

According to He Song's investigation, Xiaoqing's strength had already broken through from the initial stage of foundation building to the middle stage of foundation building.

Nowadays, I’m afraid I’m not far from the late stage of foundation building.

Xiaoqing is now a powerful cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building.

If the two golden-armored guards on her body are added, she actually has the ability to surround and kill a cultivator in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

Simultaneously.

Because Xiaoqing is from Jubao Pavilion.

She must have good friends inside Jubao Pavilion or outside.

Moreover, her friend’s cultivation level is probably not too low.

In this situation.

If Xiaoqing was more cautious, she could have directly asked a few friends to go with her to surround and kill Guimian, whose cultivation level was probably only at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Then, Xiaoqing's success rate of this action will also greatly increase.

After all, the cultivation level of that Ghost-Faced Monk is most likely just that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Moreover, it is very likely that he is just a casual cultivator.

Even if we assume that his cultivation level has reached the great perfection of foundation building.

With Xiaoqing's own strength, plus the siege of two golden-armored guards and several friends she invited.

This ghost mask is definitely not going to end well.

There was even a high possibility that he would be surrounded and killed by Xiaoqing and the monks she invited.

By that time.

All the treasures related to the Jindan Cave on this ghost face must belong to Xiaoqing, right?

With Xiaoqing's current strength, plus the protection of two golden-armored guards, she will definitely be safe after obtaining these treasures.

After all, Xiaoqing is a member of Jubao Pavilion. If she were really killed by someone, I'm afraid True Lord Yinghu would not sit idly by.

In this way, you can ensure your own safety.

Xiaoqing actually has the ability to kill Ghost Face completely and obtain the treasures on his body.

just.

Xiaoqing told He Song the news at this moment, and directly pointed out that the Ghost Face's cultivation level might only be at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Such things are telling He Song.

If He Song had any ideas about the ghost mask, he could actually do it.

With He Song's cultivation level at the Golden Core Realm, wouldn't it be easy for him to defeat a Foundation Establishment cultivator?

Xiaoqing probably wanted to return the favor by leaving the treasure on the ghost face to He Song.

However, He Song heard the thoughts behind Xiaoqing's words.

However, he did not agree directly, but shook his head and then spoke.

"I have also paid attention to this matter."

"When the Ghost Face Master faced the 150,000 mid-grade spirit stones, his behavior was indeed quite strange, just as you said."

"I have also thought about the cultivation level of the Ghost Face Master before."

"At the same time, I have come to the same conclusion as you."

"That Ghost Face Master, his true cultivation level is very likely only at the Foundation Establishment stage."

"However, things like killing people to steal treasures are not what people in our Jubao Pavilion should do."

"What if there is some conspiracy here?"

"For example, the Ghost Face Master is just pretending to be like this, but his cultivation is actually at the Golden Core stage."

"Have you ever thought about what would happen if you went there rashly?"

"If you want to surround and kill a Jindan Zhenjun with the power of foundation building, you may not even know how you died."

"Even if what you and I speculate is true, the cultivation level of that Ghost Face True Lord is indeed only at the Foundation Establishment stage."

"But if that Ghost Face Master is lucky enough, he can escape the encirclement by saving his life."

"Or if there are other monks who can help."

"It is not easy to surround and kill it."

"If we let him escape and the truth comes out, we will both be ruined."

"Moreover, this move will also affect Jubao Pavilion and damage its reputation."

"By that time, even if you and I return to the Treasure Pavilion, we will probably be pushed out to appease the anger of the crowd."

"Even if I personally take action on this matter, I cannot guarantee that it will be foolproof."

"It's better not to do something like this where the success rate cannot be guaranteed."

"besides."

"People from Jubao Pavilion shouldn't be like this."

"Relying on one's own identity to obtain information about treasures and then killing people to steal treasures is not something we, the people of Jubao Pavilion, would do."

"If you are looking for an opportunity openly and honestly, fighting with others, even if it is a sneak attack, it is not included in this category."

"This matter was actually revealed because of our identities."

"So it's better not to do it."

As He Song glanced at Xiaoqing in front of him, a hint of emotion flashed in his eyes.

He Songben agreed with Xiaoqing's idea.

It is common sense for those who practice Taoism to fight for opportunities when they see them.

However, He Song's cautious nature throughout his life made him usually observe the matter more carefully when he was about to do something.

They may even act based on their instincts.

After all, people's instinctive feelings will not deceive themselves, and they can also obtain many situations that they are not aware of, analyze them, and finally draw conclusions.

This time, Xiaoqing said that the cultivation level of the Ghost-faced True Lord was questionable, and he was most likely a foundation-building cultivator.

He Song actually thought so originally.

but.

When Xiaoqing opened her mouth and explained the matter to He Song.

He Song's heart was quickly covered with a layer of gloom.

The emergence of this feeling made He Song immediately alert to what Xiaoqing said.

After thinking it over carefully in his mind, he confirmed that the Ghost-faced True Lord that he and Xiaoqing had seen in his mansion was indeed abnormal.

He Song also had some guesses in his mind.

That Ghost-faced True Lord.

Maybe he made this gesture on purpose.

To lure others into taking action against him.

Do you want to use your powerful skills to kill the opponent?

This kind of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is not uncommon in the world of immortal cultivation.

Therefore, He Song's subconscious mind reacted immediately after hearing Xiaoqing's words.

After making this guess, He Song immediately became alert to the Ghost-faced Master.

If so.

Then, it seems that the golden elixir of the cultivator in his hand also needs to be polished.

Otherwise, what if the Ghost-faced True Lord failed to wait for me to rob and kill him, and instead used his tricks on this golden elixir to attack me?

That wouldn't be pretty.

With this idea in mind, He Song immediately decided to start polishing the golden elixir in his hand before sending Xiaoqing away.

In this way, after being polished by powerful attacks for many days, any tampering with this cultivator's golden elixir will completely disappear.

He Song only needs to put this golden elixir into the Tiangang Divine Thunder Array, and then manipulate the Tiangang Divine Thunder Array to continuously attack the golden elixir.

After so many days, He Song was naturally able to obtain a flawless golden elixir of a cultivator that had not been tampered with by anyone.

And because of this, He Song became wary of the Ghost-faced True Lord.

Therefore, He Song spoke up at this moment and persuaded Xiaoqing not to do such a thing.

If He Song had not noticed something strange and had not made his own judgment on the matter later, he would never have said this.

After all, if the Ghost-faced True Lord is really just a foundation-building cultivator as Xiaoqing said, then

Then, He Song's action can be said to have blocked Xiaoqing's path to wealth.

Cutting off someone's wealth is like killing one's parents.

This kind of thing would never be done by He Song unless he really realized that something was wrong.

Because he knew that as soon as he opened his mouth, Xiaoqing would never do it again for his sake.

And if Xiaoqing's guess is true, and the Ghost-faced Master is taken advantage of by others, even if Xiaoqing does not blame herself in the future, it will still leave a grudge in her heart.

When that time comes, how should He Song deal with it?

But now it's different.

After clearly noticing that there was something abnormal about Ghost-faced True Lord, it was very likely that this person was deliberately pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger.

He Song was sure that the Ghost-faced Master must have bad intentions.

Otherwise, the Ghost-faced Master would not have shown such weakness in front of himself and Xiaoqing.

He even sold the cultivator's golden elixir directly to He Song for 150,000 medium-grade spirit stones.

In He Song's opinion, the Ghost-faced True Lord probably thought that this cultivator's golden elixir would soon return to his hands again.

That's why he put on such a generous show for He Song.

Because in the eyes of Ghost-faced True Lord, if one realizes that He Song, an early Jindan cultivator, is only at the foundation-building stage.

They will definitely take action against it.
