Chapter 1394: A Losing Business

He Pingsheng reached out, pulled Luo Bingyao back, and walked to the front himself, saying, "Fellow Daoist!"

"We came here this time because we have an extremely high-tier material that needs Master Shen Mo to appraise!"

"I have a jade slip here!"

"You hand this jade slip to Master Shen Mo!"

"Once Master Shen Mo sees the jade slip, he will definitely see me immediately!"

He Pingsheng was very certain.

Because he had written five words in his jade slip: Ten Thousand Willow Ghost-Binding Wood!

He felt that after Master Shen Mo saw these five words, he would definitely see him.

After all, this Ten Thousand Willow Ghost-Binding Wood was a material that even the Treasure Basin couldn't strengthen, so its tier was at least seventh-tier!

It might even be eighth-tier!

The key was that this thing was the main material for making 【Death-Substitution Puppets】. Which artifact refiner wouldn't be moved by such a thing?

Of course, the prerequisite was that the other party recognized this item.

"Apologies!" However, the Golden Immortal guarding the gate shook his head indifferently and said, "It's already full today, Master Shen Mo will not see anyone!"

"Report your name, queue up honestly here, and in three months, I will send your name to Master Shen Mo!"

"You are courting death!" Luo Bingyao said, "Why do we have to wait three months?"

"Senior!" The Golden Immortal said, "This is our rule. If you want to take action, please feel free!"

"Hehehe..." He Pingsheng chuckled and said, "Fellow Daoist, I only have one day. Moreover, the material in my jade slip is extremely expensive, reaching the ninth tier... If you don't report it and we leave today, I hope you can withstand Master Shen Mo's thunderous rage!"

"What?" The Golden Immortal was shocked when he heard He Pingsheng say this, "Are you sure your material is ninth-tier?"

"Sure!" He Pingsheng nodded.

He wasn't sure, but to save time, he had to lie!

However, he could be sure that Master Shen Mo would definitely not regret seeing this material!

"Fine!" The Golden Immortal said, "The Master did say that if it's an eighth or ninth-tier immortal material, it can be reported in advance. But if you are lying, hehehe... you will bear the consequences yourself!"

After speaking, the Golden Immortal took the jade slip and walked into the mountain gate.

After about twenty breaths of time, the Golden Immortal returned. At this time, his attitude had become exceptionally respectful. He bowed to He Pingsheng and said, "Fellow Daoist, follow me!"

He Pingsheng took Luo Bingyao and Xin Baobao and entered the mountain gate together.

After a few breaths, they arrived in front of a golden hall!

The array in front of the hall was open, and the door was also open.

A tall Daoist wearing black robes with red edges walked out of the hall in a hurry, smiling, "Distinguished guests have arrived. Which fellow Daoist has the Ten Thousand Willow Ghost-Binding Wood?"

This person was Shen Mo!

Shen Mo's gaze swept over He Pingsheng, Xin Baobao, and Luo Bingyao.

He Pingsheng bowed, "Senior, it is this junior who has the Ten Thousand Willow Ghost-Binding Wood!"

"Oh..." Shen Mo said, "Please... come inside and speak!"

The four of them walked into the hall.

The array outside the hall rumbled shut.

He Pingsheng's spiritual sense swept over the old man, because Shen Mo had just swept over him, and not returning a favor is impolite.

Just as the shopkeeper said, this guy Shen Mo's cultivation had reached the twelfth layer of the Taiyi Golden Immortal, only a sliver away from a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

However, this sliver of a gap was also a chasm.

Just like Ming Riyue back then!

For a Taiyi Golden Immortal to enter the Great Luo Golden Immortal stage, they need to comprehend their own Dao laws, condense a Dao seed with the Dao laws, and plant the Dao seed in the auspicious clouds.

Only after blooming three flowers can one be considered to have entered the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

This process is not that easy.

From the twelfth layer of the Taiyi Golden Immortal to the first layer of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, it seems like only a line's distance, but this distance, Immortal King Tianmao walked for almost half his life and ultimately never reached it!

In other words, out of a hundred cultivators at the twelfth layer of the Taiyi Golden Immortal, ninety-nine might never be able to break through in their entire lives.

This is not a lack of wisdom, but simply an inability to comprehend one's own Dao.

Of course, this also has to do with one's own roots and destiny.

"Sit!"

The four of them sat down.

A small, low table; Shen Mo sat on one side, and He Pingsheng sat on the other.

Luo Bingyao and Xin Baobao stood beside He Pingsheng.

This scene surprised Shen Mo a little.

He had thought that these two Taiyi Golden Immortal women were the protagonists, but he didn't expect the Golden Immortal Stage male immortal to be the backbone.

Interesting, to actually have two Taiyi Golden Immortal-level maids?

This guy's background must be quite good.

"Who among you has the Ten Thousand Willow Ghost-Binding Wood?" Shen Mo looked at He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng didn't waste words and directly took out the stump of the Ten Thousand Willow Ghost-Binding Wood and placed it in front of Shen Mo.

"This... this..."

"My god!"

"It's so big!"

"In this world, how could there be such a large and complete Ten Thousand Willow Ghost-Binding Wood?"

The moment he saw this wood, Shen Mo became crazy, and his voice even trembled.

His withered hands reached out tremblingly and grabbed the stump.

He held the stump and looked at it for a long time before reluctantly putting it back. He took a deep breath and asked, "This... little friend, you came to find me, do you want to use this wood to craft a divine weapon, or do you want to sell it?"

He Pingsheng said, "Senior, I want to craft a 【Death-Substitution Puppet】."

He Pingsheng had a life-saving move called 【Severed Arm for Survival】. After strengthening, it could condense a mass of demonic blood in the body, which could resist a fatal blow at a critical moment.

But this thing could only withstand one blow from the opponent.

What if they launched a second attack?

Wouldn't he still die?

A Death-Substitution Puppet is different. If you have a Death-Substitution Puppet, not only can you use it to block a fatal blow at a critical moment, but you can also use the opportunity to escape.

Without a trace, no marks, the kind that cannot be tracked.

This is a life.

However, after hearing He Pingsheng's words, Shen Mo shook his head and said, "That's right, this Ten Thousand Willow Ghost-Binding Wood is indeed a material for making 【Death-Substitution Puppets】, and it is one of the main materials!"

"But to craft this Death-Substitution Puppet, it's not enough to just have this stump!"

"It also requires many other materials!"

"You only gave me a Ten Thousand Willow Ghost-Binding Wood now, I have no way to craft a Death-Substitution Puppet!"

"Of course... even if you gave me all the materials, I wouldn't be able to craft a Death-Substitution Puppet!"

"This thing belongs to the eighth tier, and I am only a sixth-tier Taiyi Golden Immortal. Little brother, you think too highly of me!"

"Is that so!" He Pingsheng frowned and waved his hand to put the stump away.

At the very least, this trip wasn't in vain; he knew this thing was eighth-tier.

Eighth-tier!

When my cultivation reaches the Great Luo Golden Immortal stage, I can strengthen it.

Thinking of this, He Pingsheng frowned again: It seems the value of this thing far exceeds my spirit-refining cultivation technique.

Why would Master Liuyu make such a losing deal? ===== CHAPTER 1395 =====
