Chapter 165: Tracking

They were all old foxes who had lived for hundreds of years; who couldn't see clearly?

He Pingsheng nodded.

To use the Biyun Laozu's words, these people had eaten in the Tai Xu Men for so many years, they had long since eaten their fill.

And now, the rules of the entire Tai Xu Men had changed, there wasn't much profit to be made, and they had to bear huge risks, so why would I stay here?

He Pingsheng was not qualified to judge.

Seeking profit and avoiding harm is human instinct.

Hadn't he, He Pingsheng, also wanted to escape early on?

"Alright, I wish Senior Brother a bright future. After Master comes out of seclusion, I will report it to him truthfully!"

He Pingsheng did not have the capital to persuade Xuan Yang to stay.

"Then many thanks to Junior Brother!" Xuan Yang said with a grin: "Also, the Internal Affairs Hall is the core of the entire Tai Xu Men and concerns the operation of the Tai Xu Men. Since I am leaving, someone needs to be able to take responsibility. I would like to recommend someone to Junior Brother!"

"If you think it's okay, you can appoint him!"

"If you think it's not okay, you can choose someone else!"

After speaking, Xuan Yang clapped his hands.

In the distance, a withered old man flew over on a sword.

After this person saw He Pingsheng, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "Greetings, Junior Feng Shishu!"

He Pingsheng looked; wasn't this True Person Elder Ku Mu?

Back then, he worked for True Person Elder Ku Mu in the Spirit Herb Valley, responsible for looking after the Fierce Sun Flower.

And Wang Dun.

But Wang Dun was killed by someone later.

Seeing He Pingsheng, True Person Elder Ku Mu was also stunned.

He naturally knew that the Biyun Laozu had taken in a small disciple named He Pingsheng, but he had forgotten what the youth who helped him collect Fierce Sun Flower pollen looked like back then, so he didn't connect the two.

Now that they met, he suddenly realized, shocked beyond measure.

"You, you, you..." Elder Ku Mu didn't know what to say.

Xuan Yang's face sank: "Rude!"

"Yes!" Elder Ku Mu bowed to He Pingsheng again.

He Pingsheng said: "No need for formalities. Are you familiar with the many affairs of the Internal Affairs Hall?"

True Person Elder Ku Mu said: "Familiar, familiar, this disciple grew up in the Internal Affairs Hall since childhood. Junior Feng Shishu, rest assured, I will definitely manage this Internal Affairs Hall to your satisfaction!"

"That's good!" He Pingsheng nodded: "From now on, you are the Deputy Hall Master of the Internal Affairs Hall, acting on behalf of the Hall Master!"

Back then, he had secretly hidden a bottle of pollen from True Person Elder Ku Mu, and now he was giving him a Deputy Hall Master position.

It could be considered settling the karma.

Returning to Yulong Peak, He Pingsheng continued to cultivate.

He didn't go to the main hall but cultivated in the side hall where he was located.

He took the 【Spirit-Gathering Elixir】 prepared by the Tai Xu Biyun Laozu, strengthened it unscrupulously, and then swallowed it to improve his cultivation.

Step by step, just like before, he first raised all five dantians to the first layer of Foundation Establishment, then went to refine his spirit, refine his body, and practice magic techniques.

Unknowingly, another two years passed!

He Pingsheng's five dantians had all reached the first layer of Foundation Establishment, and his spirit refinement had also kept up.

Only his body refinement had not kept up.

Because his poison elixirs were not enough.

When practicing 【Nine Poisons Refining Golden Body】, one needs poison elixirs of the corresponding level. To practice the 【Foundation Establishment Chapter】, one needs poison elixirs from Foundation Establishment demonic beasts.

But He Pingsheng didn't have any.

The entire sect didn't keep this stuff either.

"Hmm..." He Pingsheng stepped out of the main hall, "It's time to go out for a walk. First, go to the Matou Mountain market to see if I can buy second-tier poison elixirs!"

He waved his hand to deploy his flying sword, stepped onto it, and flew away with a *whoosh*, heading toward the Matou Mountain market.

His speed was incomparably fast.

This sword-flying speed was much faster than when he was in the Qi Condensation stage.

Tianyi Peak, in a magnificent main hall.

True Person Jianzhu looked at the Daoist nun in front of him and said indifferently: "This is your last chance!"

"He only has the cultivation of the first layer of Foundation Establishment. If you can't take him down, then I'm afraid you won't have another chance in the future!"

"Yes!" Daoist Nun Feng gritted her teeth and said: "Master, rest assured, this disciple will definitely slay him!"

"Hmph..." Jianzhu snorted coldly: "Don't drag me into this. Killing him is for your own private revenge; I have no grudge against him!"

"Remember, whether you live or die has nothing to do with me!"

"If you kill him, run. How far you can run depends on your luck!"

"If you can't beat him and are killed by him, I definitely won't intervene!"

"This is your Feng family's own business!"

Daoist Nun Feng said: "Master, rest assured, I know the gravity of the situation!"

A few breaths later, a stream of light flew out from Tianyi Peak with a *whoosh*, heading in the direction of He Pingsheng's sword flight.

Originally, Daoist Nun Feng had thought that after catching up to He Pingsheng, she would slay him quickly and then flee, never to return to the Tai Xu Men.

After all, He Pingsheng was the Biyun Laozu's disciple.

But what she didn't expect was that she couldn't catch up to He Pingsheng at all.

He Pingsheng's sword-flying speed was simply too fast.

"Damn it..." Daoist Nun Feng cursed while flying on her sword: "This guy's spiritual sense is actually so powerful now, it's already on par with mine!"

"As expected of someone who refines their spirit!"

"I'll have to be careful when we face off later!"

"But it doesn't matter, if I can't catch you, I'll block you on your way back!"

Anyway, knowing that He Pingsheng was heading to the Matou Mountain market, Daoist Nun Feng wasn't in a hurry.

Less than an hour later, He Pingsheng landed at the entrance of the Matou Mountain market.

He put away his flying sword.

Walking into the market, he saw that it was exactly the same as it had been many years ago, with almost no changes.

At the very front were the stalls.

The stalls had everything, including talismans, elixirs, talisman paper, materials, array discs, and so on.

He Pingsheng's spiritual sense surged forth, sweeping across unscrupulously.

Anyway, with so many people, as long as he wasn't facing the other party, others wouldn't know who was peeking with their spiritual sense.

At a glance, most were Qi Condensation stage, and there were Foundation Establishment stage ones, but they were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

The middle-aged cultivator who was selling elixirs at the stall was still there.

Compared to twenty years ago, this cultivator had aged a bit.

His cultivation had also reached the eleventh layer of Qi Condensation.

He Pingsheng came to the side of the middle-aged cultivator's stall; his two spirit-refining cultivation techniques had been obtained by strengthening the incomplete techniques purchased from this middle-aged cultivator's stall.

"Hello, little bro..." The middle-aged cultivator saw He Pingsheng was young and called out casually, but before he could finish the words "little brother," he suddenly discovered that he couldn't see through the cultivator's cultivation in front of him at all; his spiritual sense swept into the other party's body like a clay ox entering the sea, disappearing without a trace.

He immediately felt something was wrong and hurriedly bowed in a panic, saying: "Senior, I have offended you!"

"It's fine!" He Pingsheng said: "Besides these things, do you have any other items here?"

The middle-aged cultivator said: "What does Senior want?"

He Pingsheng said: "I want poison elixirs from demonic beasts!"

"And, they must be poison elixirs from second-tier demonic beasts!"

"This... I don't have any!" The middle-aged cultivator's face turned bitter, saying: "Poison elixirs are something very few people need. Even if some people slay second-tier demonic beasts, they don't necessarily go and take the poison elixir!"

"However, you can check other stalls, or the chambers of commerce inside!" ===== CHAPTER 166 =====
