for many years finally met again after a long time,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He personally presented them with the Gold Core Defense Spirit Talismans that he had drawn himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once this happened,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>whether it was Master Luo Jing or True Monarch Yun Jing,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they both felt a warm current surging in their hearts at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had He Song given them any other gift, even if it was an incredibly precious treasure,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>having seen and known a great deal within the Treasure Pavilion, and certainly not lacking in various treasures, they wouldn't have taken it too much to heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps, they would even have had doubts about the purpose of He Song's visit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Decades apart, and a lavish gift upon the first meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such behavior, to say there is no kindness without a cause, or it's either treachery or thievery, would not be too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, if there is no favor to ask, why bother selecting a precious gift to give?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>no matter how precious the treasure, if it were of no use to them, they wouldn't give it another thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless the item could indeed be of help,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>then perhaps,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they might refuse to accept it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or they might just place it high up in a cabinet after acceptance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, they certainly wouldn't have the thoughts they were having right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They might even suspect He Song's intentions behind the gift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>when the gift He Song personally presented\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was not some extremely valuable item, but rather Defense Spirit Amulets he had drawn himself, whose value wasn't high and were merely for personal protection,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>both Master Luo Jing and True Monarch Yun Jing immediately understood why he had given this particular gift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed He Song truly cared for their safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing that the Sun Faction and the God Locking Sect had been at war time and again, which could potentially involve them,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Song had spent the past decades improving his skills, and now he had specifically brought the Defense Spirit Amulets he created for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could such sincerity make anyone doubt his motives?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps, He Song's progress over the years was not because of this reason alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the sentiment he showed, the two of them truly felt it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To remember them after he had advanced his own skills,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and to personally draw a large number of Gold Core Defense Spirit Talismans for them,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>now he had even presented all of these talismans to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such consideration for their well-being, and concern for their safety, how could there be any ill intentions?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon receiving the jade box from He Song, Luo Jing and Yun Jing exchanged glances, each seeing a deep joy in the other's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being inside the Treasure Pavilion, they had received numerous gifts on ordinary days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially after both had successfully stepped into the Golden Elixir Realm, all kinds of gifts were even more endless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even very valuable gifts weren't new to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>like today, to receive a thoughtful gift from an old friend that could make them safer, was indeed a first in their history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Song's gift truly brought surprise to their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consequently, their perception of He Song greatly improved as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, neither Master Luo Jing nor Master Yun Jing opened the jade box in front of He Song, instead, they both directly placed the boxes into their storage bags.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Cultivation World, gifts from unfamiliar people naturally need to be checked on the spot to avoid being fooled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for close friends, receiving a gift is not something to be opened right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even extending one's divine sense to inspect what the gift truly is while facing the giver is quite offensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the relationship between friends is not the same as with others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Giving a gift could really just be a way to show care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the value is not high, but the sentiment is strong,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>to others, it may invite mockery or criticism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Jing and Yun Jing, being Jubao Pavilion monks, were naturally clear about this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With their experience, since they had already heard from He Song about what was inside the jade boxes, they would naturally not check them right then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's not that they didn't want to open the jade boxes immediately to see what gifts they contained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that the place where the three of them were gathered was crowded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Song could give out gifts despite the public gaze,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but they could not open and display the gifts to everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although He Song said that what's inside the jade box was all Gold Core Defense Spirit Talismans,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he didn't mention the quantity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if they opened the box and found only a dozen or twenty? Wouldn't that be a joke to onlookers?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Golden Elixir Master giving such a meager gift would certainly affect He Song's reputation negatively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if opening the box revealed a large quantity of talismans, it might at most evoke some admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if it annoyed He Song who had come to give the gift, the loss would outweigh the gain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though this place was inside the Treasure Pavilion,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and virtually no such situation would arise under the deterrence of the three Golden Elixir Masters,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>having spent a long time with He Song, the two understood the word \"caution\" a bit more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Better to be safe than sorry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, to avoid such a scenario, they both tacitly chose not to open the jade box, completely extinguishing that possibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, if the aforementioned situation did occur,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>this gift, which was precious in their eyes, might become proof of He Song's stinginess in the mouths of others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"`\u003C\u002Fp>",956,"2026-06-10T05:03:23.907Z",1,"novelbin.me","40f02da5c80f914591206dad35e99e3a6940c1963e0d7c787ac3e15895c279b4","i-live-forever-in-the-world-of-cultivation-world-chapter-683","i-live-forever-in-the-world-of-cultivation-world-chapter-681",1957,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-live-forever-in-the-world-of-cultivation-world-cover.jpg"]
