Chapter 1042: Chapter 723 Tempting with Profit
Afterward, when Ghostfaced True Monarch appeared,
he only introduced his name and rank, without giving He Song a chance to speak.
Therefore, even now,
Ghostfaced True Monarch still didn’t know what title to use when addressing He Song.
He only knew
that He Song seemed to be a Guest Elder of the Treasure Pavilion.
As for why He Song had come and what his dharma title was, he remained completely in the dark.
Under these circumstances, when Ghostfaced True Monarch’s gaze turned to He Song, it also signaled for He Song to take the initiative to introduce himself.
Without an introduction, the upcoming conversation couldn’t begin at all.
In response to this, He Song obliged and spoke,
“I am Xuan Gui, a Guest Elder of the Treasure Pavilion.”
“I’ve come here because there’s an important matter I wish to discuss with you, Fellow Daoist. I wonder if it would be convenient for you at this time?”
As he introduced himself, He Song didn’t delve into his identity or background in detail.
He did not mention that he wasn’t a Guest Elder from the Treasure Pavilion within the Smoke-Cloud State mansion.

Instead, he broadly defined himself as a Guest Elder of the Treasure Pavilion.
In doing so, if Ghostfaced True Monarch wasn’t familiar with the Treasure Pavilion, the identity He Song claimed at the moment could indeed be rather intimidating.
After all, if He Song were a Guest Elder from the Treasure Pavilion in the Smoke-Cloud State mansion, then it’s likely he’d have extensive connections within the Smoke-Cloud State mansion.
As a Golden Elixir Master, he’d receive respect wherever he went.
And a Golden Elixir Master who resided in a place and also served as a Treasure Pavilion Guest Elder,
sought to foster normal relationships with the local guardian and other Golden Core Families.
Under such circumstances, it wouldn’t be surprising if He Song could also be referred to as a local power broker.
In the territory of a local power broker, it would generally be quite difficult to outright refuse him.
In initiating this conversation, He Song not only introduced himself but also laid a trap, hoping to increase the chances of success for his visit.
Then, he stated that he had important matters to discuss and inquired if Ghostfaced True Monarch was available.
By speaking thus,
coupled with the fact that He Song had personally come to visit, he showed considerable respect to Ghostfaced True Monarch.
According to He Song’s thinking, even if Ghostfaced True Monarch had no previous intention to sell his Cultivator’s Golden Core, he now had to carefully consider it.
However, even though that was what He Song thought,
the true state of Ghostfaced True Monarch’s mind was still completely unknown to him.
Upon hearing He Song’s words, a slight contemplative expression briefly crossed Ghostfaced True Monarch’s face.
Soon, Ghostfaced True Monarch emerged from his reverie and once again looked at He Song.
“Could it be that Fellow Daoist Xuan Gui has come for that Cultivator’s Golden Core in my possession?”
As he finished speaking, although his face still showed uncertainty,
he seemed to have confirmed his own suspicions.
Previously, Ghostfaced True Monarch had pondered at length but never felt he had recently offended anyone,
nor had he encountered anything that would warrant a personal visit from a Treasure Pavilion Guest Elder.
Therefore, after much deliberation, he could only consider the matter of consigning the Cultivator’s Golden Core at the Treasure Pavilion.
Perhaps, it was his previous action of consigning the Cultivator’s Golden Core to the Treasure Pavilion that had drawn the attention of True Monarch Xuan Gui before him.
Indeed, having this thought flash through his mind,
Ghostfaced True Monarch asked his question after hearing He Song’s self-introduction and claim of having business with him.
After all, in his mind,
if not for the Cultivator’s Golden Core,
he couldn’t imagine encountering True Monarch Xuan Gui at his mansion.
A Treasure Pavilion Guest Elder with Golden Elixir cultivation
would not casually seek him out.
Therefore, it must have been the Cultivator’s Golden Core that attracted the attention of True Monarch Xuan Gui.
However, he couldn’t discern True Monarch Xuan Gui’s exact purpose for their meeting.
With countless thoughts flashing through his mind, Ghostfaced True Monarch maintained an impassive expression, yet in his gaze at He Song, a faint inquisitive intent appeared.
But soon enough, the inquisitive look in Ghostfaced True Monarch’s eyes faded away.
Based on his understanding of the Treasure Pavilion,
people from the Treasure Pavilion wouldn’t engage in forceful seizure or robbery.
Consequently, there was no need to be too wary.
Perhaps, True Monarch Xuan Gui had simply come to purchase the Cultivator’s Golden Core from him.
Ghostfaced True Monarch’s thoughts were unknown to He Song,
but since Ghostfaced True Monarch had spoken and revealed the purpose of He Song’s visit,
He Song naturally didn’t continue to conceal it and straightforwardly nodded in agreement.
“Fellow Daoist indeed has a discerning eye, I am impressed,”
“Indeed, I have come for the Cultivator’s Golden Core that is in your hands.”
“Fellow Daoist might not know, but I am currently attempting to refine a Treasure, and that Cultivator’s Golden Core is the most precious item needed for its creation.”
“Although I have not yet gathered all the required materials, nor do I plan to begin the refinement immediately,”
“upon unexpectedly learning from Xiao Qing that you possessed such a Cultivator’s Golden Core, I also realized that such Treasures are rare opportunities not to be missed.”
“Thus, I specifically came to trouble you, Fellow Daoist.”
“I wonder if you have any intentions of parting with it?”
“Of course, as people of the Treasure Pavilion, we would naturally not resort to forceful demands or theft.”
“If it is inconvenient, Fellow Daoist, please speak frankly; I will certainly not persist in disturbing you.”
“However, if Fellow Daoist also harbors such inclinations…”
