Chapter 1248: Watch My Acting

Three days later, He Pingsheng strolled out of the formation and returned to Zhou Yiren's presence.

Seeing He Pingsheng, Zhou Yiren let out a breath of relief.

"How did it go?" he asked with some anxiety.

He Pingsheng shook his head: "Can't tell!"

He handed the black stone disk in his hand back to Zhou Yiren and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, I know what you mean. You want to trade this stone disk for one top-grade Fuji Jietian Pill from me, right?"

Zhou Yiren hurriedly nodded and asked, "Just... I don't know if you still... have any, Fellow Daoist He?"

His expression was tangled to the absolute extreme.

He both hoped He Pingsheng would give an affirmative answer and feared He Pingsheng would give a negative answer.

This kind of split expression on the same face even made He Pingsheng find it somewhat funny.

He Pingsheng said with a smile: "Your luck's pretty good, I still have one!"

"Really!" Zhou Yiren trembled all over with excitement: "Really? You really still have one?"

"Mm, why would I lie to you?" He Pingsheng took a deep breath, then continued: "Fellow Daoist Zhou, speaking honestly, I can't figure out this stone disk of yours, but I know it's definitely something peculiar. Why don't you keep it yourself? Why must you bring it out to trade for this Fuji Jietian Pill?"

"Also, being able to obtain this kind of stone disk shows your fortune isn't bad!"

"Your future achievements will be limitless!"

"Truth be told, trading with it, I'm afraid you'll regret it later!"

"No!" Zhou Yiren shook his head and said: "Fellow Daoist He, you might not understand me!"

"I, this person, have cultivated all my life, seeking only the word 'steady'!"

"I never make enemies with people, nor do I like to fight fiercely with others!"

"Since I began cultivating the Dao, the people I've crossed hands with can be counted on one hand, and the enemies I've killed wouldn't exceed the fingers of one hand either!"

Hearing this, He Pingsheng immediately rose in solemn respect and said: "Fellow Daoist truly is an anomaly!"

Cultivated to the Xuanxian realm, yet the number of people killed is actually less than one hand?

He Pingsheng thought about himself: Hmph... almost too many to count, right!

"So, this immortal artifact doesn't have much use for me!" Zhou Yiren continued: "Rather, this Fuji Jietian Pill can guarantee I enter the Taiyi Jinxian realm!"

"You just said it yourself, my fortune isn't bad!"

"Indeed, this younger brother's fortune is not bad!"

"But Fellow Daoist He... you also know, us Dao cultivators, our wisdom roots can sever at any moment!"

"Even if I don't sever in the Xuanxian stage, what about after entering the Jinxian stage?"

"After Jinxian, fortune is reshaped. Where would I have such good luck to obtain a heaven-defying fortuitous root and bone?"

"So, ninety-nine percent chance, I cannot enter the Taiyi Jinxian realm!"

"Now there's a direct-pass item to enter the Taiyi Jinxian realm. Not to mention a mere stone disk, even two disks, I would trade with you without the slightest hesitation!"

"Hehehe... put it like this, can you understand?"

He Pingsheng nodded and said: "Understandable!"

"Alright then, since Fellow Daoist Zhou puts it that way, I'll fulfill your wish!"

Finished speaking, he produced another top-grade 【Fuji Jietian Pill】, handed it to Zhou Yiren, and said: "I don't want people knowing I still have top-grade Fuji Jietian Pills, and you probably don't want others knowing about our trade either. So, when we go out in a bit, you'd best not show a smug expression!"

"Rest assured!" Zhou Yiren said: "My acting is great, others definitely won't be able to tell!"

"Fellow Daoist He, let's go!"

Finished speaking, Zhou Yiren left delightedly.

He Pingsheng also prepared to leave.

He began dismantling the formations in this grand hall.

First he put away several formation talismans.

Then he left the grand hall!

Not long after walking out of the grand hall, he ran head-on into Tang Sheng.

Tang Sheng asked: "Young Friend He, what happened just now? Did you beat up Zhou Yiren?"

He Pingsheng blanked: "Beat him? No... what happened to him?"

Tang Sheng said: "This bastard left bawling his eyes out... I thought he offended you and got a beating from you!"

He Pingsheng said: "Senior Tang Sheng jokes. He's Xuanxian fourth layer, I'm only first layer. How could I possibly beat him? Probably because he didn't get what he wanted, so he's heartbroken, right?"

"Oh oh oh..." Tang Sheng nodded: "So that's how it is!"

"Young Friend He, next you plan to..."

He stopped mid-sentence.

He Pingsheng smiled and said: "Han Houzhi's matter has blown up huge. This bastard definitely hates me to death now. Who knows, he might come to your Chamber of Commerce side looking for trouble with me!"

"So I can't stay on this side anymore. This junior plans to go wander a bit, then return to Tianmao Xiancheng to cultivate!"

What he said was also the truth.

Through this auction, He Pingsheng's basic objective had already been achieved.

Got a stone disk, and a lump of sixth-grade Space Origin!

At the same time, made that despicable villain Han Houzhi have nowhere to hide.

Enough!

But his original intention hadn't been reached yet.

He Pingsheng originally went out to wander because he wanted to raise his comprehension.

And the methods to raise comprehension were either drawing talismans, or through the Jin Dan.

Very unfortunately, he hadn't managed to get either of these two.

He Pingsheng also didn't want to handle all these remaining matters with Tang Sheng in one go; after all, he needed to keep some privacy for himself, and couldn't let others see right through him.

So, he planned to go out and travel for a while first; at the very least, he should get his hands on a pill formula or a talisman formula.

He Pingsheng believed this shouldn't be difficult.

Whoosh—

Before he could even leave the city, He Pingsheng directly transformed into a streak of light and flew out beyond the city walls.

Almost in the span of a breath, he flew out of Wanliang Immortal City; He Pingsheng instantly took out the Heavenly Moon Warship and deployed it, then piloted the Heavenly Moon Warship into the atmosphere and headed for interstellar space.

Traveling across the vast Tianmiao Immortal Enclosure, the Heavenly Moon Warship was naturally the fastest.

However, compared to the area of the entire Tianmiao Immortal Enclosure, even with the Heavenly Moon Warship deployed, He Pingsheng's speed appeared slow to the extreme.

He had just reached the void not long ago when he saw fourteen or fifteen streaks of light flying in from behind in succession.

He Pingsheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and his vast Divine Sense swept backward.

These people behind him were all participants from the previous auction.

There were Mystic Immortals, and also Golden Immortals!

Naturally, Mystic Immortals were the majority; there were only two Golden Immortals.

One could guess with one's ass what those people came for.

He Pingsheng paid them no heed, instead pushing the Heavenly Moon Warship's speed to the maximum and continuing to fly wildly.

However, it was of no use.

Before he could even rush out of the atmosphere, someone behind him had a starship more advanced than his, and quickly intercepted He Pingsheng.

This was a woman, dressed in a green long skirt, with a fair complexion and beautiful features.

She could be called a beauty capable of toppling nations and cities.

He Pingsheng was stopped in the void; soon those behind him caught up, each taking position around him, front, back, left, and right, as if afraid He Pingsheng would escape.

"He Pingsheng, right?" the woman who stopped him said, "We have no intention of making an enemy of you... we only want to befriend Fellow Daoist He!"

"Hehehe... Fellow Daoist He, what you have on you shouldn't be as simple as just one top-grade Fuji Jietian Pill, right?"
