aware of this matter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a piercing gaze, Master Luo Jing expressed all the thoughts in her heart to He Song.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her invitation for He Song to join the Treasure Pavilion and become a Guest Elder,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was mainly due to the shadow that the experiences of Master Zi Shan had cast in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, when diabolism struck, Cloud State fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, as the Pavilion Master of the Treasure Pavilion, Master Zi Shan could only continue to preside over Cloud State, engaging in empty exchanges with the numerous demonic cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, she had become the Pavilion Master of the Treasure Pavilion in Cloud State as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The struggle between diabolism and the Righteous Tao seemed to be about to unfold once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, although she did not know where the struggle between the Righteous Tao and diabolism would lead,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>she was able to make preparations in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If by any chance,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If by any chance things really turned out as she had imagined,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the presence of He Song might allow her to remain more composed when facing such a scenario.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything that Master Zi Shan had gone through had a tremendous impact on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Song, on the other hand, happened to comfort her at that time, trying to dispel that shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, she chose to invite He Song to be a Guest Elder of the Treasure Pavilion and stay in the Cloud State Treasure Pavilion, just to give herself some peace of mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for other matters,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>whether it was virtually unconditionally assigning tasks to He Song every year, regardless of his whereabouts,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>or now bringing these things up with He Song,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it was, in fact, all just to have He Song stay inside the Cloud State Mansion when the demonic cultivators really attacked, to give her a sense of dependence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond that, there was nothing else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Master Luo Jing also didn't know whether all she had done could indeed make He Song stay with her in the Cloud State Mansion when the time came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, she was well aware of He Song's caution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the demonic cultivators really laid siege, He Song would probably have run off long before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, she might only be left to deal with the demonic cultivators alone in this place, just like Master Zi Shan once did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, even though she did not harbor much hope in her heart, Master Luo Jing still understood the principle that effort dictates success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether He Song would stay in the end or not, as long as she did these things, the likelihood of He Song staying would increase slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps, it was precisely because of the things she had done that He Song would choose to stay?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>although a great battle between diabolism and the Righteous Tao loomed, who would win or lose and to what extent the battle lines would be maintained were all unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the Righteous Tao truly lost, there was still the Wind Snow Palace, a Nascent Soul Upper Sect, standing firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind Wind Snow Palace, there was also the support of the Sun Faction, Purple Cloud Sect, even the Golden Snake Sect and Netherworld Blade Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this in mind, it would be extremely difficult for diabolism to break into the Cloud State Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the likelihood of demonic cultivators laying siege was actually very small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>all she was doing was just in case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The many benefits given to He Song were also due to this mindset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for other matters, she had not considered them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And He Song's personal freedom had not been hindered in fact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The position of a Guest Elder, no matter which power one is in, is one of great freedom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Guest Elder is not part of the internal membership of any power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even after joining the Treasure Pavilion as a Guest Elder, He Song could still join other powers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it's becoming a Golden Elixir Elder of a Nascent Soul Sect or a Guest Elder of another power,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>these were all things that He Song could actually do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when not taking on tasks from the Treasure Pavilion,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Song could retreat to the mountains for decades of seclusive cultivation, even a hundred years, and upon emerging, he would still be a Guest Elder of the Treasure Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It can be said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>that although He Song had become a Guest Elder of the Treasure Pavilion,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he was actually, just like before, able to freely manage his own time and do whatever he wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would not face any restrictions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless He Song wanted to earn more Contribution Value and accept tasks from the Treasure Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, becoming a Guest Elder of the Treasure Pavilion actually had no impact on He Song.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the Treasure Pavilion would provide He Song with five thousand Mid-grade Spirit Stones and five thousand Contribution Value annually as his salary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These offerings were actually just means for a power to entice a Gold Core Cultivator like He Song.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, once someone became a Guest Elder of a power, they would naturally no longer pose any threat to that power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with this salary, it was enough to completely change a Golden Elixir Master's perception of the power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, it wouldn't generate any thoughts of confrontation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He who takes a person's money becomes short of hand, he who eats a person's food becomes short of mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This saying was not to be taken lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the price of ten thousand Mid-grade Spirit Stones annually, to make a Golden Elixir Master feel goodwill toward the power and even possibly help with various matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And for this power, it only needed to pay a bit more in Spirit Stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of deal was not unique to the Treasure Pavilion; other Nascent Soul Forces would do the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like those Golden Elixir Masters who established sects within the Area of Influence of Nascent Soul Upper Sects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And He Song,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>after hearing Master Luo Jing say this,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>quickly projected his divine sense and accepted the task that Master Luo Jing had published on the Guest Elder Token.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The task was actually very simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All He Song needed to do was to be stationed at the Cloud State Mansion for one year, and he would be able to earn a full ten thousand Contribution Value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, after joining the Treasure Pavilion, He Song would be earning nearly twenty thousand Mid-grade Spirit Stones annually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, ten thousand of that was the annual salary provided by the Treasure Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the other half, that was a little gift from Master Luo Jing to He Song.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to what Master Luo Jing said, even if He Song left, it would still be counted annually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a benefit she awarded He Song.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the task period, even if He Song went out for a long time, the task would still be completed annually, providing He Song with a sufficient amount of Contribution Value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Essentially, the task that Master Luo Jing gave He Song was just a way to grant him Contribution Value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wonder if the higher-ups of the Treasure Pavilion, upon learning this, will charge Master Luo Jing with the crime of embezzling on the inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After accepting the task, He Song looked at Master Luo Jing and this thought flickered through his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as the beneficiary of this arrangement,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Song had no complaints about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, he appreciated Master Luo Jing's reliability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When there was a benefit, she truly delivered it to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, although he felt this way inwardly, He Song did not reveal it on the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he repeatedly bowed to Master Luo Jing and expressed his thanks verbally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In response,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Luo Jing waved her hand, indicating it was not necessary for He Song to do so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she talked to He Song about various matters related to becoming a Guest Elder of the Treasure Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't until He Songzhen truly understood the numerous benefits that came with being a Guest Elder of the Treasure Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Master Luo Jing finally saw him off, escorting He Song to another extremely luxurious mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Master Luo Jing had only arranged for a guest room to entertain the Golden Elixir Masters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now it was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Song had become a Guest Elder of the Treasure Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The place where he stayed was naturally extraordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the location of the Treasure Pavilion was not any famous mountains and rivers, nor did it have lakes and streams like other Gold Core forces,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the residence of the Treasure Pavilion's Guest Elders was still far beyond the imagination of countless cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entering his mansion in Cloud State Mansion,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Song bid farewell to Master Luo Jing,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and immediately projected his divine sense to survey his new dwelling from top to bottom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the mansion, spirit Qi was rich, covered by Array Skills, with various landscapes appearing endlessly within the estate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even more, a large number of servants and maids bustled about, all standing by at He Song's behest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were all preparations made by the Treasure Pavilion for a Guest Elder like He Song.\u003C\u002Fp>",1547,"2026-06-10T05:03:37.687Z",1,"novelbin.me","57824319baf51f00f61dd7c7480e119ab2c672294519f3f76e64107ec1d85caf","i-live-forever-in-the-world-of-cultivation-world-chapter-962","i-live-forever-in-the-world-of-cultivation-world-chapter-960",1957,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-live-forever-in-the-world-of-cultivation-world-cover.jpg"]
