Unconsciously, He Song turned his gaze to Wei Fan, wanting to hear what would follow.
Wei Fan did not beat around the bush.
After asking a casual question, without waiting for He Song to speak, he continued to speak on his own.
"The so-called Golden Core Great Dao is the path to the Golden Core realm after Foundation Establishment Great Perfection."
"If you want to break through from Foundation Establishment Great Perfection to Golden Core realm."
"You need to gather all the magical power in your body together, and use secret methods to temper it, so that it condenses into a Golden Core."
"This process of condensing a Golden Core is the Golden Core Great Dao."
"Without special magic techniques or pills to assist, it is extremely difficult for ordinary Foundation Establishment True Persons to break through to Golden Core."
Speaking to this point, Wei Fan shook his head and sighed, a trace of desire for cultivation level flashing in his eyes.
But soon.
The light in his eyes quickly dimmed again.
Seemingly thinking of something, Wei Fan paused before speaking again.
"These special magic techniques, and special pills, are the tools to hack through thorns and brambles on this Golden Core Great Dao."
"If there are no such tools, how can one talk about stepping into the Golden Core realm?"
"Whether it is Earth Sect, or other Golden Core sects, as long as it is a power that has ever produced Golden Core cultivators, there must be such secret methods within their doors."
"At the same time, spending huge amounts of resources, can also exchange for some Golden Core Condensing Pills from Nascent Soul Upper Sects."
"This Golden Core Condensing Pill, is the pill needed in addition to the secret method."
"With sect secret methods, and Golden Core Condensing Pills, one then possesses the confidence to embark on the Golden Core Great Dao."
"However, these things are destined to be out of our reach."
"The sect has orders, only sect elites are qualified to participate in the competition for these things."
"Like us wandering cultivator Foundation Establishment, we can only rely on ourselves."
After speaking.
Wei Fan looked at He Song.
A bitter look flashed in his eyes and disappeared.
When he got this news at the time, he only felt that the road ahead was bleak, and even had the idea of leaving Earth Sect and going elsewhere to find other opportunities.
However, in the end, after discussing with Meng Guan, they decided to continue to stay in Earth Sect for the time being.
After all, Earth Sect had provided the two with many resources and conveniences.
Both emotionally and rationally, they should reciprocate a little.
However, after learning of this news, if they still wanted to make them listen to Earth Sect as obediently as before.
Then it could only be said to be wishful thinking.
If you treat me as a national scholar, I will repay you as a national scholar.
If you do not treat me as a national scholar, I have no need to repay you as a national scholar.
Although the two had received many benefits from Earth Sect, with the identity of Foundation Establishment True Persons in Earth Sect, guarding Immortal Markets and Immortal Cities for it for so long, was that not a repayment?
In recent years, the income from the Immortal Markets and Immortal Cities they guarded was not low.
But they only took an annual stipend of three thousand spirit stones each year, and did not take a single cent more.
Moreover.
When Meng Guan was attacking Foundation Establishment, he did not see Earth Sect send a few Foundation Establishment Pills.
It was only later, after Meng Guan established Foundation Establishment, and brought He Song and Wei Fan into Earth Sect, that it could be considered that they had truly received Earth Sect's favor.
But that was also established after Meng Guan had already established Foundation Establishment and had utilization value, that they gave the investment.
Later, after Wei Fan failed to establish Foundation Establishment for the first time, the second Foundation Establishment Pill, was still that the three of them emptied their family fortune, and gathered spirit stones to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill.
Although the price was much cheaper than outside, after Wei Fan established Foundation Establishment, didn't he immediately become an elder of Earth Sect?
He Song was also the same.
Although he exchanged for many Foundation Establishment Pills, he also spent spirit stones.
And even more, after successfully establishing Foundation Establishment, he quickly became an elder of Earth Sect, guarding one side for Earth Sect.
Over the years, had Hundred Herb Immortal Market ever had any troubles?
No.
Even if He Song did not join Earth Sect, he would still be able to establish Foundation Establishment on his own.
It was just that subsequent Foundation Establishment cultivation methods and the like, needed to go elsewhere, and join other sects to obtain, it was not troublesome.
A Foundation Establishment True Person guarding Immortal Market diligently for more than twenty years, the favor was probably already repaid a lot.
Meng Guan and Wei Fan established Foundation Establishment even earlier than He Song, and they also participated in the great war against Seven Stars Sect.
Rolling and crawling in the great war, risking their lives to fight.
Then, they also helped Earth Sect guard Immortal Markets and Immortal Cities for more than twenty years.
Twenty years of a Foundation Establishment True Person's time.
How much value could be created, naturally, there was no need to say.
Calculating it like this.
This favor was even more already repaid by almost the same amount.
Earth Sect had some favor to the three of them.
But it was not considered a great favor that needed to be repaid with their lives.
Since they had already received unfair treatment in Earth Sect, they would naturally not continue to be foolishly work for Earth Sect.
And it was precisely because of this, that after truly knowing the difference between wandering cultivator Foundation Establishment and sect elites, the two people's concept of Earth Sect, also changed again and again.
After feeling that the favor was almost repaid.
Their attitude towards Earth Sect, also changed from the original strong advocacy, to the current killing time and apathy.
This change only took a short few years.
However, when facing others, the two people's attitude was still the same as before, and there was not much change.
The change in their hearts, was only in their hearts.
It would only be revealed when the two met in private.
Now, several months after He Song came here, the two finally revealed the thoughts in their hearts, and also spoke to He Song about the Golden Core Great Dao, wanting to see He Song's reaction.
Listening to Wei Fan's voice, He Song's brows furrowed slightly.
Golden Core Condensing Pill.
Golden Core secret method.
These two things that were essential for stepping onto the Golden Core Great Dao, he did not have either of them.
Moreover, if he continued to stay in Earth Sect, probably even if he stayed until the end of time, these two things would probably be difficult to obtain.
After all, Earth Sect was not a charity hall, such invaluable things that were related to the sect's lifeline, would definitely not be given to wandering cultivator Foundation Establishment.
Even sect elites, wanting to obtain Golden Core Condensing Pills and Golden Core secret methods, it was probably also extremely difficult.
In Earth Sect, there were not a few sect elites.
And there were also many cultivators whose cultivation levels had already reached Foundation Establishment Great Perfection long ago, but were suffering from not having these two things, and were directly stuck at Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, unable to progress an inch.
They.
Were the most urgent demanders for these two things.
Even if one day, Earth Sect really spent a huge price, and obtained Golden Core Condensing Pills, there would probably be a bloody competition within the sect.
This was an opportunity to step into Golden Core realm!
Golden Core realm, lifespan of five hundred years, taking some longevity-enhancing natural treasures, pills, etc., lifespan could be even higher.
Such an opportunity, probably no one would be willing to give up.
But, the number of Golden Core Condensing Pills was definitely not large, perhaps only one.
Under such circumstances, the issue of the ownership of this Golden Core Condensing Pill, would probably really be a bloody competition.
Even sect elites would fight bloodily for it.
Wandering cultivator Foundation Establishment like him, did not even have a chance to compete.
Looking at his two friends in front of him, He Song sighed in his heart.
Only at this moment.
Did he truly understand why the attitude of the two towards Earth Sect had changed so greatly.
"It's not scarcity, but uneven distribution that causes resentment."
Sighing inwardly, He Song also understood the change in attitude of his two friends.
Objectively speaking.
If it were him, upon learning that there was a huge opportunity right in front of him, but because of his identity, he found that he was completely excluded, He Song would probably also lose his mental balance.
What Meng Guan and Wei Fan were doing, which was just starting to kill time and being apathetic, preparing to turn around and leave after repaying the favor, was already quite good.
After repaying the favor, and leaving Earth Sect, they would naturally continue to embark on the path of seeking opportunities.
However, at that time.
Their ties with Earth Sect, would also be erased along with it.
This point, He Song naturally also understood.
In this vast Earth Sect, they were originally outsiders.
He Song was also the same.
"So that's how it is, this Golden Core Great Dao, is actually like this."
"Golden Core Condensing Pill."
"Golden Core secret method."
"These two things, are the two mountains before the Golden Core Great Dao."
"If you want to continue to improve your cultivation level, these two mountains must be removed."
"However, it is a pity, we, as wandering cultivator Foundation Establishment, it seems, are unable to find a way to continue to improve our cultivation level in Earth Sect."
"Brother Wei's previous actions, are because of this matter, right?"
Sighing softly, He Song looked up at Wei Fan, what he said was a question, but in his heart, he was already certain.
Everything Wei Fan had said before, was related to this matter.
The change in attitude of Wei Fan and Meng Guan towards Earth Sect, was also related to this matter.
This matter.
Was the matter that really concerned Wei Fan and Meng Guan.
As for words like running away when encountering enemies, safety first, etc., were all words based on this premise.
If they could also participate in the competition for Golden Core Condensing Pills and Golden Core secret methods, perhaps the situation would be completely different.
It was not scarcity but uneven distribution that causes resentment, that was the portrayal of the two's hearts at this moment.
He Song at this moment, could be considered to have truly understood the inside story.
"Yes, I originally thought that after joining Earth Sect, it would be smooth sailing all the way."
"But I didn't expect, our identities to be so awkward."
"As Foundation Establishment True Persons, we are even completely disallowed to compete."
"Although if it were me, I would also do the same."
"But."
"The pent-up frustration in my heart, is slow to dissipate."
Shaking his head, Wei Fan looked at Meng Guan beside him, and then looked at He Song on the other side, finally letting out a long sigh.
"Alas!"
"."
Faced with this situation, He Song was silent.
Meng Guan and Wei Fan, were different from him.
They were just ordinary cultivators, although perhaps they possessed opportunities, but judging from the two people's cultivation progress, they were probably not big opportunities.
In this way, wanting to break through the Foundation Establishment realm, and step into Golden Core realm, was probably not easy.
Therefore, their pursuit of Golden Core Condensing Pills and Golden Core secret methods, was naturally also extremely eager.
However.
Earth Sect's rules, directly cut off the desire in their hearts, making everything fall into nothingness.
Without a channel for upward mobility.
In this way, their mentality change, was also natural.
If it were He Song, in the case that he was not a longevity practitioner, and encountered such differential treatment, he would probably also have such a change in mentality.
Then next, having the idea of leaving Earth Sect, and going elsewhere to seek opportunities in his heart, naturally would not be surprising.
No one wanted to make themselves ordinary forever.
This point.
Whether it was ordinary people.
Or cultivators.
Were completely consistent.
Everyone wanted to climb up, climb to the highest point.
But now, the channel for upward mobility had been artificially separated.
Continuing to stay in Earth Sect, probably their whole lives would only be wasted here.
Not going to seek other opportunities.
Could it be to sit and wait for death?
Wei Fan and Meng Guan did not want to just wait for death.
They wanted to compete for the opportunity that belonged to them, did not want to let their lives just be submerged in the rolling river of time.
Therefore, after repaying Earth Sect's favor.
Leaving Earth Sect, became a path that was becoming clearer and clearer in the two people's hearts.
