Chapter 143
"Do you have any other questions? Ask them all together?"
Tai Xu Biyun Laozu looked at the other Golden Core stage elders around him.
Then, he drank his tea on his own.
"He Pingsheng!" A Golden Core stage Daoist nun spoke up. This Daoist nun was also the only woman in the main hall. Although he knew she must have lived for who knows how many hundreds of years, looking at her suddenly, this woman looked like she was in her early twenties, appearing extremely young: "I am an elder of Tianyi Peak, you can call me Elder 【Jianzhu】!"
He Pingsheng's heart moved suddenly.
This was his first time seeing Elder Jianzhu, but not his first time hearing of her.
Legend has it that this elder's sword technique is divine, and she is an extremely formidable sword cultivator. Although her rank among the sect's Golden Core elders is relatively low, her combat power is extremely formidable, suppressing everyone else.
She is also Tai Xu Biyun Laozu's most proud and favorite disciple.
"Disciple pays respects to Elder Jianzhu!" He Pingsheng didn't dare to be negligent and hurriedly bowed.
Before Jianzhu could speak, Tai Xu, who was drinking tea above, waved his hand and said: "Everyone here is your elder, no one cares about these tedious formalities. Answer whatever is asked, and don't bow anymore from now on!"
"It's too troublesome!"
After speaking, Tai Xu continued to drink tea.
He Pingsheng said: "Yes!"
"He Pingsheng!" Jianzhu spoke: "This palace asks you, you said before that Daoist Changping left by sword-flying, you chased him from behind, and then knocked him off the flying sword with a Falling Rock Talisman, is that right?"
He Pingsheng said: "Yes!"
"That's not right!" Jianzhu said: "As far as this palace knows, the speed of sword-flying is extremely fast, it is absolutely impossible to catch up with him using a paper crane!"
"I absolutely do not believe that you knocked him off the flying sword!"
"Oh..." Tai Xu put down the teacup in his hand and said: "This question is good, He kid, explain it!"
He Pingsheng took a deep breath and said: "Reporting to the Elder, disciple... was also sword-flying!"
He originally didn't want to reveal the fact that he could sword-fly.
Why?
Because it's very strange.
Theoretically, a Qi Condensation stage disciple cannot sword-fly unless your spiritual sense is powerful.
Now that you admit you can sword-fly, you have to explain why your spiritual sense is powerful.
Every extra link adds some risk.
But why did He Pingsheng still admit it?
Very simple: because he would have to explain why he could sword-fly anyway later.
He Pingsheng is not stupid. Tai Xu Biyun Laozu had just said that he had passed the Soul Searching Technique and had already searched Hou Muling's soul.
Soul searching is extracting a person's memory at a certain time node.
Hou Muling had watched He Pingsheng sword-flying with her own eyes.
Since Hou Muling saw it, Tai Xu Biyun Laozu saw it too.
Would he not ask?
Rather than waiting for him to ask later, it's better to admit it early. That way, it can appear more sincere.
"Nonsense!" Jianzhu's face turned pale and she said: "He Pingsheng, you are only at the eleventh layer of Qi Condensation, how can you sword-fly?"
"Hey..." Tai Xu Biyun Laozu was like a straight man setting up a joke, making a sound at the right time: "Don't be so absolute, nothing is absolute. Whether a cultivator can sword-fly depends not on cultivation base, but on spiritual sense!"
"Once spiritual sense reaches one hundred zhang, one can sword-fly!"
"If this kid's spiritual sense is powerful, it's not impossible for him to sword-fly!"
"Then that's even more wrong!" Jianzhu said: "After a cultivator reaches the twelfth layer of Qi Condensation, the strongest spiritual sense is only sixty zhang, it's impossible to reach one hundred zhang... This is the power of the rules of heaven and earth, no one can break it!"
"Unless..."
Jianzhu's eyes flashed, sharp as a sword, looking at He Pingsheng: "Unless, you cultivated that spirit-refining technique!"
"Did you cultivate a spirit-refining method?"
"Yes!" He Pingsheng nodded and admitted it.
"What technique, take it out and let me see!" Jianzhu was very impolite, her jade hand reaching out to demand it from He Pingsheng.
Swish...
Almost everyone turned their gaze toward He Pingsheng.
Spirit-refining techniques are truly too rare and strange in the Cultivation World.
Many cultivators who reached the Golden Core stage had never seen one.
"This..." He Pingsheng knew that it was impossible not to take out the spirit-refining technique today, but he still pretended to be reluctant and said: "Elder Jianzhu, can the disciple refuse?"
He said it very tactfully.
But he was telling you clearly: I won't let you see it!
At this, Jianzhu had no reason to ask again.
After all, it was someone else's property, and as a senior, she couldn't demand it.
"Cough, cough, cough..." At this time, Tai Xu Biyun Laozu spoke again: "He kid, she is not coveting your treasure, it's just that this spirit-refining method has both righteous and evil paths. Some techniques, after cultivation, do more harm than good for the improvement of spiritual sense!"
"It's good to let your Grand-Uncle check it for you!"
"Right, right, right!" Master Chongyang also followed up: "He kid, take it out. Rest assured, it will be returned to you after reading, no one will covet your things, right?"
Chongyang also knew it had to be taken out today.
Because the Biyun Laozu had spoken.
He Pingsheng took a deep breath and opened his storage bag.
That's right, he had known he couldn't escape today, so he had prepared it long ago.
He took out two books.
Not just the 【Mysterious Sect Heart-Calming True Art】, but also a 【Heavenly Demon Body-Refining Method】.
Why take out two at once?
Very simple.
The Heavenly Demon Body-Refining Method is useless to him!
Taking out two makes him appear sincere.
Of course, He Pingsheng wasn't that honest either. His 【Mysterious Sect Heart-Calming True Art】 had six chapters in total, from the Qi Condensation chapter to the Void Refinement chapter.
The one he took out was a handwritten copy.
It only had three chapters: Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment, and Golden Core.
And in the Golden Core chapter, he had deliberately copied some things wrong.
As for the 【Heavenly Demon God-Seizing Method】, he also copied three chapters.
He placed the two books respectfully beside Jianzhu and said respectfully: "Disciple was able to identify it, so I cultivated this 【Mysterious Sect Heart-Calming True Art】. I did not cultivate that demonic technique!"
Jianzhu picked up the books and started reading.
After about a dozen breaths, she looked up in shock and said: "This... is really a spirit-refining method!"
"And the tier... I think... this tier is absolutely extraordinary!"
"Let me... let me see!"
"Let me see too!"
Several Golden Core stage elders couldn't wait to take He Pingsheng's techniques and read them.
Only Tai Xu Biyun Laozu remained motionless, sitting there drinking tea slowly.
It seemed he had no interest in these techniques at all.
"Biyun Laozu!" Finally, after everyone had read them, Jianzhu presented the two techniques to the Biyun Laozu and said: "You take a look..."
Tai Xu waved his hand: "I won't look... He kid, this technique of yours is not simple, it shouldn't be an item of this sect!"
