Chapter 181: Mist God Flower, Twin Shuang Shen Dan

In the blink of an eye, two years passed.

He Pingsheng's cultivation base had also reached the second layer of Foundation Establishment.

He had swallowed more than eighty of the original two hundred and forty top-tier spirit-gathering pills.

One hundred and sixty remained.

He Pingsheng, however, did not continue his seclusion.

He walked out of the small courtyard.

【Miscellaneous Notes on Cultivation】 recorded: After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, cultivators should not remain in seclusion for cultivation all the time.

Even if one did not encounter a bottleneck, if one remained in seclusion all the time, the cultivation base would fall into a temporary stagnation. This is because the circulation of blood and energy during cultivation is also extremely important, and long-term seclusion will cause the blood and energy to be contaminated with dirty energy. Therefore, disciples above the Foundation Establishment stage must go out to travel for a period of time after every period of seclusion.

Otherwise, how could there be any talk of traveling in the cultivation world.

After He Pingsheng broke through to the second layer of Foundation Establishment, he felt the turbid energy rising in his body.

It was time to go out and walk around.

He planned to go to the chamber of commerce first to see if there were any goods he needed, and then go out of the city to look around and inquire about news regarding the Profound Heaven Sect.

He Pingsheng walked into the 【Dingxiang Chamber of Commerce】 again.

Because of his two-year seclusion, He Pingsheng obtained four updated news sheets from the chamber of commerce in one go.

He focused on the content about the Cultivation Alliance.

There was some news about the Cultivation Alliance, but it didn't have much to do with He Pingsheng, and there was no news about the Profound Heaven Sect.

It seemed there were no reversals.

"Third-tier talismans?" The shopkeeper of the Dingxiang Chamber of Commerce looked at He Pingsheng with a smile and said: "They are not sold in the chamber of commerce. To tell you the truth, fellow Daoist, whether it is materials or supplies of this third tier, theoretically, they are not sold to disciples below the Golden Core stage!"

"Our chamber of commerce has specialized auctions and trading fairs!"

"Only there can you see items of a higher tier!"

He Pingsheng asked: "Then... when does your chamber of commerce generally hold auctions?"

The shopkeeper shook his head: "Sorry, fellow Daoist, you are not yet qualified to participate!"

He Pingsheng immediately felt insulted.

The shopkeeper didn't really insult him, but quickly explained: "Fellow Daoist, don't be angry. This rule is not aimed at you; it is just that our Dingxiang Chamber of Commerce is like this, and in the entire Dingxiang City, all chambers of commerce are the same!"

"The same rules!"

"If you want to participate in this auction, you must have an invitation!"

"And generally speaking, invitations are only issued to Golden Core cultivators, or large families, or large sects!"

"There are also those Foundation Establishment disciples who have treasures on them!" The shopkeeper looked at He Pingsheng with a smile: "If fellow Daoist can take out something that makes Golden Core cultivators tempted, I can apply to issue an invitation to you!"

He Pingsheng shook his head: "This... I really don't have!"

"Forget it, farewell!"

He Pingsheng came out of the Dingxiang Chamber of Commerce and asked the two other large chambers of commerce, the 【Coral Chamber of Commerce】 and the 【Royal Chamber of Commerce】, and the answers he got were indeed the same.

Third-tier materials were basically impossible to buy.

Not to mention that third-tier materials couldn't be bought, even the 【poison pills】 he urgently needed were not many. He swept through the three chambers of commerce and only managed to sweep up less than ten poison pills.

He Pingsheng turned around and turned back to the entrance of the 【Master Xuanyuan Alchemy Shop】.

"Ho... congratulations, fellow Daoist... two years no see, fellow Daoist has actually broken through to the second layer of Foundation Establishment, congratulations, congratulations!" The white-haired but burly Master Xuanyuan Changgeng greeted him with some shock after seeing He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng didn't expect that two years had passed, and the other party still recognized him.

"Hehe... thank you!" He Pingsheng cupped his hands and said: "May I ask, fellow Daoist Master Xuanyuan, are there any second-tier poison pills in the shop now?"

Master Xuanyuan Changgeng shook his head and said: "No..."

After finishing, he added: "This thing is very hard to find. Usually, after cultivators take poison pills, even if they sell them to the chamber of commerce, the chamber of commerce generally won't accept them!"

"Because this thing is very hard to sell, and if it can't be sold for a period of time, the poison pill will dry up, and the toxicity on it will also be lost, which is a loss that outweighs the gain!"

"Over time, there are very few poison pills for sale!"

He Pingsheng asked: "Can fellow Daoist help me collect some? I can pay some fees!"

Master Xuanyuan didn't immediately agree to He Pingsheng but smiled and said: "Is fellow Daoist really a poison cultivator?"

He Pingsheng said: "I wouldn't say I'm a poison cultivator, I just refined a poison-attribute spell!"

"Oh?" Master Xuanyuan looked very interested: "This... is it convenient for fellow Daoist to let me see your poison spell?"

"Of course, I don't have any other meaning, I just purely want to see it!"

"If it is not convenient for fellow Daoist, you can also refuse!"

He Pingsheng said: "There is nothing to hide!"

Chi...

As soon as he finished speaking, a wood-attribute vine as thick as a finger pierced out from the ground under his feet. The green branches were covered with poisonous thorns.

Every poisonous thorn could fly out to hurt people.

In fact, He Pingsheng could now condense a cluster of dozens of poisonous vines in one breath, but he only showed one, which was also considered hiding a part of it.

"Such strong toxicity!" Master Xuanyuan studied it carefully and said: "Even if this toxicity stabs a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator, I am afraid the other party will immediately lose the ability to fight back!"

He Pingsheng neither admitted nor denied it.

"Fellow Daoist!" Master Xuanyuan suddenly changed to a rather solemn expression on his face and said: "I have a good job here, I wonder if fellow Daoist is interested?"

He Pingsheng said: "Fellow Daoist, tell me about it!"

After all, he still wanted the other party to help collect poison pills, so He Pingsheng couldn't refuse outright.

Master Xuanyuan said: "It's like this... some time ago, I discovered a second-tier 【Mist God Flower】 in a mystic realm. Fellow Daoist should also be an alchemist, so you understand what this Mist God Flower is, right?"

This...

Master Xuanyuan indeed looked up to He Pingsheng too much.

Although He Pingsheng could refine pills, compared to ordinary alchemists, his alchemy common sense was a hundred thousand miles away.

Except for the medicinal herbs on the Thirty-Six Formulas, he basically didn't know any others.

"Uh... ashamed... ashamed..." He Pingsheng said: "I really don't know what this 【Mist God Flower】 is?"

"Ah?" Master Xuanyuan was a bit puzzled: "Mist God Flower... you don't know?"

"Forget it... let's put it this way, Mist God Flower is a second-tier spiritual herb, and it is a rule-based spiritual herb."

"This thing is one of the main materials for refining the second-tier pill 【Twin Shuang Shen Dan】, which is extremely rare!"

"Fellow Daoist should know about the Twin Shuang Shen Dan, right?" Master Xuanyuan asked He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng touched his forehead and said: "Uh... this, I haven't heard of it either!"

"Alright... Twin Shuang Shen Dan is a type of pill that can increase spiritual sense!" Master Xuanyuan explained: "It only has an effect on Foundation Establishment disciples. After eating it, no matter how strong your spiritual sense is, you can double the strength of your spiritual sense within an hour!"

"There is no need for me to explain the heaven-defying aspect of this pill, right?" ===== CHAPTER 182 =====
