Chapter 1876: Recognizing a Master, Old Tong

"Old slave Tong Haotian, greets the Young Master!"

"From today on, this old slave is willing to follow all of the Young Master's instructions and follow your lead!"

Master Tong knelt in the void and kowtowed to He Pingsheng nine times.

He Pingsheng smiled: "Good…… from today on, you are this seat's slave!"

"However, there are a few points you must observe!" He Pingsheng thought for a moment and said: "First point, the greatest taboo for a cultivator is greed; unprovoked greed is better avoided. I do not wish for you to become my slave and then go around causing trouble!"

"Second point, do not act on impulsive thoughts; caution and low-profile are the true path!"

"If not for your impulsive greed today, you wouldn't have ended up in this state!"

"Yes!" Master Tong said respectfully: "This old slave will keep the Young Master's teachings in mind and never forget them!"

"Third!" He Pingsheng extended his third finger: "Do not be lecherous; I see you are a bit excessive in this regard. How could you listen to the words of two women with no insight when facing a life-and-death matter?"

"If these two were decisive people, that would be one thing, but the key is that they had no insight!"

It could be said that Master Tong reaching this point today had something to do with the two women by his side.

"Yes, this old slave is ashamed!" A look of shame truly appeared on Tong Haotian's face.

"Enough, let's not talk about this!" He Pingsheng looked around: "This place is not suitable for staying long. Where is your family? Let's go to your family first and talk!"

Tong Haotian said: "Reporting to the Young Master, this old slave's family is in the city; I have a residence in the city!"

"In the city, huh!" He Pingsheng's brow furrowed slightly, feeling some hesitation.

After all, the City Lord and Deputy City Lord of Heavenly Water City should both be Spirit Sovereign Realm experts.

If he moved into Heavenly Water City, using the Treasure-Gathering Immortal Basin wouldn't be as convenient.

"Young Master, rest assured!" Tong Haotian seemed to see through He Pingsheng's concerns and said: "If the Young Master has any inconveniences, it doesn't matter; my family has a fourth-grade Divine-Blocking Array, and no one can spy on the Young Master in the slightest!"

With Tong Haotian saying this, He Pingsheng felt relieved.

"Young Master!" Tong Haotian asked another question: "May I ask the Young Master's name and Daoist title, so this old slave knows?"

"Hmm!" He Pingsheng nodded and said: "This young master's name is 【He Pingsheng】……"

"He Pingsheng?" Tong Haotian felt a slight shock in his heart after hearing this name and said: "You…… you are He Pingsheng?"

"What is your cultivation?"

He Pingsheng was very surprised by his reaction and said: "I am at the fourth layer of the Spirit Control Realm, what's wrong? Have you heard of my name?"

"Hiss, hiss, hiss……" Tong Haotian took a deep breath and said: "Young Master, that Spirit Sovereign Realm expert Lu Shigü of the Lu family in the Scorpion King City, was he personally slain by you?"

He Pingsheng was both surprised and terrified: "That is indeed the case; where did you get this news?"

He was surprised that Tong Haotian had actually heard of his name.

He was terrified because if Tong Haotian had heard of his name, wouldn't that mean many people in the Scorpion Divine Continent had heard of his name?

Then it would truly be difficult to move an inch in the future.

"Young Master, do not worry!" Tong Haotian said quickly: "I know the Lu family is searching for you everywhere, wanting to capture you!"

"However, they have no clues as of yet!"

"When this old slave went to Scorpion King City to help a large family forge weapons, the patriarch of that family once told me personally that a Spirit Control Realm expert named He Pingsheng had slain a Spirit Sovereign Realm expert of the Lu family!"

"This news is extremely hidden because the Lu family has sealed it off!"

"So not many people know about it!"

Hearing this, He Pingsheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright!" he said: "Old Tong, no need to be subservient to me; take me and Han Houzhi back to the city, and act as if you have captured the two of us!"

"Do not arouse anyone's suspicion!"

"And do not tell anyone that you have become this young master's slave!"

"Yes!" Tong Haotian waved his hand, expanded his flying boat, and took He Pingsheng and Han Houzhi back to Heavenly Water City.

After arriving at Heavenly Water City, he walked in front with a swagger, while He Pingsheng and Han Houzhi followed behind him with their heads lowered.

In this way, those watching the show would think that He Pingsheng and Han Houzhi had been captured by Tong Haotian.

……

Tong Haotian's sect, or rather his family, was located right in the middle of Heavenly Water City, behind the extremely prosperous commercial street.

A piece of territory three hundred zhang in length!

And two hundred zhang in width.

Inside, there were nine towering great halls, and layers of arrays covered them.

The Tong family was also an old-established family, so there were many disciples in the family.

Not to mention outer sect disciples, Tong Haotian alone had over a hundred direct descendants.

"Master……"

"Greetings to the Patriarch!"

"Greetings, Master!"

"Paying respects to Grandfather!"

Seeing Tong Haotian, everyone bowed one by one.

Tong Haotian said: "From today on, the two halls at the very back are designated as forbidden areas; no one is allowed to approach!"

"Yes!"

Everyone responded respectfully.

Some Tong family disciples who thought they knew something looked at He Pingsheng happily, thinking these were divine slaves brought back by their grandfather.

Tong Haotian brought He Pingsheng to the very back of the Tong family residence.

"Young Master!" Tong Haotian said: "The two halls at the very back are for you and Young Master Han to reside in!"

He Pingsheng nodded: "Good…… you come with me as well."

The three walked into the hall, and He Pingsheng took out several third-grade arrays.

Tong Haotian had an incomparably powerful spiritual sense and could engrave fourth-grade array disks, so setting up third-grade arrays was even faster.

It was all done in half an hour.

Rumble……

After the three great arrays were expanded, He Pingsheng felt even more at ease!

The three sat down in order of importance, He Pingsheng in the head seat, Han Houzhi and Tong Haotian in the lower seats.

"Young Master, please instruct me!" The red-haired Tong Haotian cupped his hands.

He Pingsheng took his Heavenly Poison Crossbow and placed it in front of Tong Haotian: "Old Tong, take a look at this thing first!"

"This is a top-tier third-grade divine artifact…… it can condense the poison within third-grade poison pills and then fire it out!"

"Take a look, can this thing be upgraded to fourth-grade?"

The Heavenly Poison Crossbow was simply too useful.

If it could be upgraded to fourth-grade, he would have some trump cards for when he encountered Spirit Sovereign Realm fellows in the future, right?

"This…… no……" Old Tong shook his head and said: "Young Master, fourth-grade falls into the category of Dao artifacts; in the process of forging this type of thing, one needs to add corresponding Dao power!"

"This old slave does not have this ability yet!"

"Alright!" He Pingsheng thought for a moment and asked again: "I ascended from the lower realm, or rather, a small world!"

"When I was in the small world, I had a staff named 【Primordial Hongmeng Hongmeng Zijin Staff】……"

"This staff is quite special; it was made primarily from a piece of Primordial Hongmeng Hongmeng Zijin and upgraded by devouring various materials from the lower realm!"

"Later, I brought it to the Divine Realm, but…… as soon as this object entered the Divine Realm, it would automatically crack!"

"Can this…… still be repaired?" ===== CHAPTER 1877 =====
