Chapter 126

"Thanks, Old Nine!" Xu Kunlun put away the high-tier pill and patted He Pingsheng on the shoulder: "Although a great kindness doesn't need thanks, I still have to say thank you!"

"Old Nine, wait for me to reach Foundation Establishment!" Zhao Linger patted her chest: "Once I reach Foundation Establishment, I'll give you whatever you want!"

"Enough talk, I'm going into seclusion to adjust my state first!"

"I'll make my breakthrough to Foundation Establishment in half a year!"

"I'm off!"

After the three chatted for a while, they left one by one.

He Pingsheng put away the two Foundation Establishment Pills and continued to sit cross-legged on the ground, refining his magic treasures.

The magic treasures he refined before only had four layers of restrictions.

Those were easy to refine, and generally, he could refine one per month.

Now that He Pingsheng's spiritual sense and cultivation base have improved, his refining speed is definitely faster, but these top-tier spirit weapons have four more layers of restrictions.

The restrictions have doubled, but the difficulty is not just doubled.

Because the further you go, the harder the restrictions are to refine.

For example, the first layer of restrictions can generally be refined in a day.

But the eighth layer might not even be refined in a month.

It's just that absurd.

However, he doesn't know exactly how long it will take.

He Pingsheng picked up the Soul-Extinguishing Bell to continue refining.

Time flowed by unconsciously.

In the blink of an eye, half a year passed.

Of the three top-tier spirit weapons, He Pingsheng had refined two.

One was the Soul-Extinguishing Bell, and the other was the Nine-Radiance Dragon-Slaying Flag; as for the Sacred Wood Shield, he hadn't had time to refine it yet.

Now, with He Pingsheng's ability, it takes three months to refine any one of them.

He didn't continue to refine the Sacred Wood Shield because He Pingsheng already had many defensive skills.

And he had been refining treasures for the past half year, which made him feel a bit sick of it.

Let's take a break first.

On the other hand, his offensive skills were still somewhat lacking.

Because currently, besides talismans, He Pingsheng's only offensive skills were the Fire Crow Art, the Yellow Turban Warrior, and the Sacred Wood Poison Dragon Art.

The Nine-Radiance Dragon-Slaying Flag was refined, but there was no matching spell for it.

It would be great if there were a spear technique.

He Pingsheng reached into his storage bag and pulled out a cyan jade slip.

This jade slip was obtained after he killed the male disciple of the Zhuang family in the Mystic Realm of Cui Ping Mountain; it recorded a secret technique of the cultivation family, the Zhuang family: the Zhuang Family Thirteen Spears.

Since obtaining it, He Pingsheng hadn't cultivated it and just tossed it into a corner.

Let's try now to see if it can be strengthened into a powerful spell.

He crawled under the covers, appearing to be sleeping and resting, but in reality, he secretly took the Treasure-Gathering Basin out from under the covers and tossed the cyan jade slip into it.

After one night, the strengthening was complete.

Two jade slips were strengthened in the Treasure-Gathering Basin.

One red, one black.

He Pingsheng took out the red jade slip first and pressed it against his forehead to take a look.

Name: Fire Cloud Sacred Spear Art

Tier: Heavenly Tier

Function: Spear technique, used in conjunction with spear-type magic treasures, power is doubled!

This is good!

Once I learn this, I should be able to use it with the Nine-Radiance Dragon-Slaying Flag.

However, I still need to see what the other one is!

He reached out again, took the other cyan jade slip, and pressed it against his forehead.

The information inside also instantly emerged.

Name: Great Flag Thunder-Rolling Art

Tier: Heavenly Tier

Function: Branch of spear technique, used in conjunction with spear and flag-type magic treasures, power is doubled.

He Pingsheng smiled.

This is too coincidental.

He Pingsheng picked up the Treasure-Gathering Basin and looked at it, thinking to himself: No way, does this Treasure-Gathering Basin have a memory function?

It strengthened a flag for me earlier, and now it strengthens a spell related to flag weapons?

"This is the one!" He Pingsheng made his decision right then: "Great Flag Thunder-Rolling Art, I want to see how it rolls thunder!"

He Pingsheng put away the Treasure-Gathering Basin, took out the cyan jade slip, and began to study it.

It wasn't much.

One general outline, one spell.

It took about half an incense stick of time to read it, and half an hour to memorize it.

Next was cultivation.

Generally, ordinary spells take a month to learn, but this Great Flag Thunder-Rolling Art doesn't look ordinary, and he doesn't know how long it will take to learn.

He Pingsheng hadn't even started learning it when Zhao Linger's voice called out from outside.

After half a year of preparation and seclusion, she and Xu Kunlun had reached a perfect state, and they were preparing to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

This call was to invite He Pingsheng to witness the ceremony.

"Will there be tribulation lightning?" He Pingsheng asked.

"No!" Master Yu Ning shook her head and said: "Where would tribulation lightning come from?"

"Only when breaking through from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core is there tribulation lightning; there won't be any for Foundation Establishment, don't worry!"

"Oh!" He Pingsheng nodded.

"Begin!" Yu Ning waved her hand.

Then, Zhao Linger and Xu Kunlun each took out a high-tier Foundation Establishment Pill and tossed them into their mouths.

"Boom..."

Countless energies collided within their bodies.

Wisps of white mist rose from the tops of their heads.

Yu Ning was slightly startled and looked at He Pingsheng: "Old Nine... did you give them the high-tier Foundation Establishment Pills?"

Yu Ning's voice was very low.

"Yes, Master!" He Pingsheng said: "The disciple has hit a bottleneck and doesn't know when I'll be able to break through to the twelfth layer, so I gave the pills to Wang Shixiong and Qiao Shijie first!"

"Hoo..."

Yu Ning let out a deep breath and said: "Silly child... fraternal love is good, and Master is very happy, but you must be careful when walking the world in the future; you can't be so... so..."

She almost said the words "dim-witted."

He Pingsheng looked serious and said: "The disciple understands, Master, don't worry; if it weren't for Wang Shixiong and Qiao Shijie, the disciple wouldn't be so silly!"

"It's good that you know!" Yu Ning replied with a huff.

On the other side, the two disciples broke through their physical barriers with a bang almost simultaneously.

Foundation Establishment, achieved!

Both succeeded.

"I did it?" Xu Kunlun jumped up happily: "Master, I'm at the Foundation Establishment stage..."

"Hahaha..."

Zhao Linger also seemed unable to believe her eyes: "I'm at Foundation Establishment too?"

"Yes!" Yu Ning said: "You have both reached Foundation Establishment... however, you must thank your Junior Brother; if it weren't for these two Foundation Establishment Pills from Old Nine, how would you two have had such an opportunity?"

The two bowed respectfully to He Pingsheng: "Thank you, Junior Brother!"

Master was right.

If He Pingsheng hadn't brought the Water Origin Spirit Apricot, they wouldn't have known when they would have broken through their bottlenecks.

Or perhaps, they would never have been able to break through in their entire lives.

And for that final breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, if it hadn't been for the high-tier Foundation Establishment Pills, they might not have been so smooth.

"It's nothing!" He Pingsheng said with a grin.

Yu Ning asked: "You two, try it out and see how your spiritual sense strength is?"

Xu Kunlun closed his eyes, and his spiritual sense surged in his mind.

The next moment, he opened his eyes and said: "Master, my spiritual sense can now reach a hundred zhang!"

Beside him, Zhao Linger said: "Mine too!"

"Good, good, good!" Yu Ning said: "A hundred zhang is just right; you two can now fly on swords!"
