Chapter 1827

"Apologies, Miss Duanmu!" Old Cao grabbed the Flowing Light Divine Phoenix in his hand and said: "This little guy is my immortal pet, but it actually dared to betray me?"

"Hehehe..."

"I'm going to stew it when I go back!"

"Because keeping it is useless, isn't it?"

The little peacock screamed instantly: "No, no... I don't want to be stewed, big sister save me!"

It screamed heart-rendingly.

Duanmu Yunzheng couldn't bear to watch either, saying: "Triple... no... tenfold..."

In her eyes, a sharp light flashed.

He Pingsheng waved his hand to stop Old Cao from speaking and said: "Old Cao is joking with you... Miss Duanmu, don't take it to heart!"

"How about this, I have a proposal!"

Duanmu Yunzheng said: "A proposal is fine, but you wanting to get my Heaven-Facing Crown for nothing is impossible!"

"I don't want your Heaven-Facing Crown!" He Pingsheng said: "To tell you the truth, our He family is a family that has been passed down for one hundred thousand yuan of time, and is famous for artifact refining!"

"Hmm... ancestral artifact refining techniques!"

"Now, I will give this Phoenix to you, Miss Duanmu, for free, only asking that you lend me that Heaven-Facing Crown for one year to let me contemplate it. Once I have contemplated the artifact refining methods within, I will return it to you, is that okay?"

He Pingsheng had a gentle smile on his face.

Duanmu sneered: "You wish... you must be wanting to take the opportunity to covet my treasure, right?"

He Pingsheng said: "No, no, no... Miss Duanmu, don't misunderstand. How about this... I will only contemplate it for one year, and I will do so right here in your Duanmu family, without taking the treasure away!"

"Is that acceptable?"

With He Pingsheng saying this, Duanmu Yunzheng's expression looked a bit better.

However, she did not immediately agree to He Pingsheng, but still had concerns, saying: "The three of you, two of you are at the Divine Spirit Realm cultivation!"

"Our Duanmu family is a small temple, and the only Divine Spirit Realm expert in our family is my father, who is still in seclusion!"

"If you really harbor thoughts of snatching it, wouldn't this young lady be at a huge loss?"

"For this matter, you still need to let me think about it carefully!"

He Pingsheng said: "If we were really going to snatch it, we wouldn't be putting on such a show, right?"

"How about this, Miss Duanmu!" He Pingsheng thought for a moment and said: "I heard that your 【Heaven-Facing Crown】 is only a low-tier third-tier divine artifact!"

"As long as you agree to let me contemplate it for a year, I will upgrade this Heaven-Facing Crown by one level, to mid-tier quality."

"How about that?"

Duanmu Yunzheng was instantly overjoyed: "You really can?"

He Pingsheng patted his chest and said: "Of course, I said, I am the He family's top-tier artifact refiner!"

"Our He family has been passed down for one hundred thousand yuan of time, it's not just for fun!"

"Fine!" Duanmu Yunzheng thought about it and felt there was no risk, so she took the Heaven-Facing Crown off her hair and sent it to He Pingsheng: "I have another grand hall on this mountain, you can go into seclusion there!"

"Don't think about escaping!"

"Otherwise, even if your He family has been passed down for one hundred thousand yuan, I can make it disappear in an instant!"

"Our Duanmu family's foundation is much deeper than you think!"

"Hmph..."

He Pingsheng took the Heaven-Facing Crown with a bitter smile and went to the grand hall Yunzheng mentioned.

The first thing he did upon arriving at the hall was to deploy several arrays himself to completely block all divine sense scanning from the outside.

Then, he tossed the Heaven-Facing Crown into the Treasure-Gathering Basin!

For the following time, He Pingsheng did not cultivate; whenever he was free, he took out the 【Zhongxing Family's】 artifact refining classics to read, learning some basic common knowledge of artifact refining.

At the same time, a sliver of his divine sense continuously locked onto the Treasure-Gathering Basin within his body.

Every movement within the Treasure-Gathering Immortal Basin was under his control.

After half a year passed in this way, the Heaven-Facing Crown in the Treasure-Gathering Immortal Basin became two; of course, both were low-tier.

Then he continued to strengthen them, and after another two months, both Heaven-Facing Crowns became mid-tier.

He Pingsheng took one out!

As for the other, he continued to strengthen it.

Several months later, the other one was also successfully strengthened, but it was strengthened to top-tier.

He did not go to refine it, but directly put away the array, went out, and took the mid-tier Heaven-Facing Crown he had in his hand, walking out.

Returning to Duanmu Yunzheng's dojo, He Pingsheng handed the mid-tier Heaven-Facing Crown to Duanmu Yunzheng.

"This is already mid-tier?" Duanmu Yunzheng opened her mouth wide in shock and said: "This, this, this... you really are an artifact refining master?"

Not only Duanmu, but even the two divine servants beside He Pingsheng were shocked beyond measure.

They didn't even know He Pingsheng was an artifact refiner!

Besides, even if you are an artifact refiner, you are just a small Divine Imperial Realm cultivator, how can you improve the quality of a third-tier divine artifact?

"I was born with powerful divine sense, hehe... an artifact refining family, it's not just for fun!"

He Pingsheng responded with a laugh.

As long as he dispelled Duanmu Yunzheng's doubts, that was enough; as for the doubts of the two servants, it didn't matter.

Let them doubt if they want to.

"Miss Duanmu, I have already clearly understood the principles within this Heaven-Facing Crown!"

"Take a look at this item, if there are no problems with the Heaven-Facing Crown, then I shall take my leave!"

Duanmu Yunzheng took the Heaven-Facing Crown and looked at it left and right for a few breaths, then nodded: "There are no problems at all, it really has added a layer of restriction!"

"Fellow Daoist He, thank you!"

"You're welcome!" He Pingsheng cupped his hands and then left the mountain peak with the two divine servants!

Just after leaving the mountain peak, the three did not directly deploy the divine ship to fly, but each turned into a streak of light and flew away.

He Pingsheng's plan was to deploy the divine ship after leaving the Duanmu family's territory.

But before the three reached the Duanmu family's mountain gate, they were suddenly covered by a dark cloud.

He Pingsheng, who was flying, looked up and saw a giant bird with a body length exceeding a thousand feet above his head.

The bird was colorful, with blue being the most prominent!

On its tail, besides hundreds of blue feathers, there were three golden feathers, and every movement brought the flow of fire-attribute aura, which was extremely beautiful.

He Pingsheng landed on the two legs of the giant bird and found that its left foot was deep blue, while its right foot was red.

"This is..." Old Cao said in shock: "An adult third-tier Flowing Light Divine Phoenix!"

"Three flowing light feathers!"

As soon as he finished speaking, this massive Phoenix flew over their heads, slightly exceeding their body distance by half.

On the Phoenix's back sat a beautiful woman with a three-part youthful air; the woman looked at them with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, her big eyes wide open.

Who else could it be but Duanmu Yunzheng?

"Family Head Duanmu!" Old Cao said with an angry face: "What is the meaning of this?"

"Not letting us leave?"

"Are you riding on our heads to bully people?"

"Hehehehehehe..." A silver bell-like laughter came from the young girl on the Phoenix's back; she covered her mouth and nose with her sleeve and said softly: "You have recognized the wrong person!"

"I am not the Duanmu family's family head, Yunzheng!"

"This little woman is Duanmu Yunzheng's younger sister, Duanmu Yunshu!"
