Chapter 191
"Alright, many thanks to Fellow Daoist Xuanyuan for the explanation!"
He Pingsheng cupped his hands: "In that case, I have no hope of going to this Divine General Mountain, farewell!"
He stood up and was about to leave.
However, Xuanyuan said: "It's not completely hopeless, if you know those cultivators in the top one hundred on the Dragon Chant List, you also have a chance!"
"Because according to the rules, everyone who gets a spot can also bring one extra person into the Divine General Mountain!"
He Pingsheng still shook his head.
He didn't know anyone in the top one hundred.
Go back!
After returning to his small courtyard, He Pingsheng didn't continue to go into seclusion to raise his cultivation, but took out a poison pill and began to strengthen it.
Strengthen the poison pill, refine the body.
In a flash, ten days passed.
Ten days later, He Pingsheng brought the Xuanyuan family token that Xuanyuan had given him and arrived at the Coral Chamber of Commerce.
Because the auction in the chamber of commerce was about to begin.
He Pingsheng participated in the auction not to buy things, but to broaden his horizons and see what kind of things would be auctioned in this chamber of commerce.
Another reason was to see the prices of third-tier treasures.
For example, third-tier elixirs, third-tier talismans, and so on.
Because, in ordinary chambers of commerce and shops, one cannot see third-tier treasures.
"Please..." The shopkeeper personally led He Pingsheng upstairs and said, "This floor is the auction, this is your token!"
"Fellow Daoist, I wish you a full return!"
"Hehe..."
People were coming and going in the fifth-floor hall, and cultivators were constantly walking into the auction venue from outside.
Just by looking at their clothing and the aura on their bodies, one could tell that these people were not simple.
He Pingsheng naturally didn't dare to use his spiritual sense to scan others at will.
If he accidentally angered a Golden Core powerhouse, it would be a loss that outweighed the gain.
He followed behind others, passed through the hall, and entered the auction.
This was a large venue, the ground was paved with red carpets, and there were hundreds of tiered seats.
And this was just the hall.
Above the hall, there was a suspended floor, and there were over a hundred seats on the suspended floor.
One could see that the hundred or so seats on the suspended floor were large and soft, which were clearly higher-end seats.
What He Pingsheng could think of was VIP seats.
It was impossible for him to have a VIP seat; after comparing with his token, it was just an ordinary seat.
And it was in the corner.
In terms of the venue, this was a bottom-tier seat, but for He Pingsheng, it was just right.
After all, his main purpose for coming was to gain experience, not for a specific item.
Not long after sitting down in the corner of the venue, He Pingsheng saw a familiar figure enter the door.
Holy crap...
Seeing that figure, He Pingsheng was simply stunned: Not dead?
This guy is still alive?
Seeming to notice He Pingsheng's gaze, that person also looked over at him.
Upon seeing him, he was also startled.
"Junior Brother He?"
Wang Dun walked toward He Pingsheng with some surprise, and then sat down beside him without any ceremony.
"Why are you here?"
"This is Dingxiang City, right?"
"And... how come... you've reached Foundation Establishment?"
Wang Dun's spiritual sense swept over He Pingsheng, truly shocked: "I thought I would never see you again in this life!"
"Hoo..." He Pingsheng took a deep breath and also used his spiritual sense to scan Wang Dun.
The result of the scan was nothing.
"Hehehe..." Wang Dun chuckled, revealing his white teeth, and said, "Junior Brother He, you can't see my cultivation base, I am now..." He lowered his voice and said, "Twelfth layer of Foundation Establishment... only one step away from forming a Golden Core!"
"I... I..."
"Holy crap..."
After holding it in for a long time, He Pingsheng could only use these two words to express the shock in his heart.
Too shocking.
His own cultivation speed was already fast enough, and he was only at the second layer of Foundation Establishment.
Wang Dun was already at Perfection.
A full ten small levels higher than him.
Heaven-defying!
One layer per year?
Otherwise, it couldn't be this fast?
"Hehe..." Wang Dun smiled and said, "Junior Brother He, I came here this time to buy a Chaoyuan Pill... I heard that there are Chaoyuan Pills for sale at this auction!"
"I just don't know how high the price will be pushed in the end!"
He Pingsheng nodded.
Wang Dun continued: "Speaking of which, I seem to owe you a few spirit stones, Junior Brother!"
"Hi..." He Pingsheng said: "How is it that you owe me? You left that pill furnace with me. At that time, I heard that you were killed by an inner sect disciple when you were fighting with someone, so I sold the pill furnace. If anyone owes anyone, it's me who owes you... By the way, Senior Brother Wang, what happened to you back then?"
Wang Dun's face immediately sank, and he said: "Damn Profound Heaven Sect, if I hadn't faked my death back then, I would have been truly dead!"
"A place like the Profound Heaven Sect is rotten to the core from top to bottom. The lower-level disciples have no resources and rely entirely on scraping from the even lower-level disciples. That old thing Ku Mu stared at me every day... Damn it!"
"Fortunately, I'm smart!"
"Forget it, let's not talk about the past!"
"It's boring!"
He Pingsheng's heart shook violently.
This kid Wang Dun is indeed smart enough to fake his death and escape the Profound Heaven Sect, saving his life.
However, this kid must also have a big secret.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to break through so much in such a short time.
But it doesn't matter if others have secrets, it has nothing to do with me.
"What about you?" Wang Dun sat beside He Pingsheng, reached out and slapped him hard on the shoulder, saying: "You kid has been doing well these years, you've actually reached Foundation Establishment!"
"How is it?"
He Pingsheng shook his head and said: "I learned alchemy, later entered the inner sect of Xiuzhu Peak, and became a disciple under True Person Master Yu Ning!"
"Later, the Profound Heaven Ancestor ascended to immortality, the Beast-Taming Immortal Sect annexed the Profound Heaven Sect, and the Profound Heaven Sect was destroyed!"
"So I ran away!"
"Oh!" Wang Dun said: "So that's how it is... hehehe... serves them right!"
"A sect like the Profound Heaven Sect that has been rotten for a long time should have perished long ago!"
"Alright, let's not talk about these annoying things!" Wang Dun had a lewd smile on his face: "Cough, cough... that, Junior Brother He... do you have many spirit stones on you?"
"Lend me some!"
He Pingsheng:............
Damn it, is it that you borrow money as soon as you see me?
Are you addicted?
But He Pingsheng still nodded and said: "Yes... how much do you want to borrow?"
Wang Dun patted his storage bag and said: "I don't know... let's see later, I don't know what price this Chaoyuan Pill will be pushed to!"
"It's not necessarily that I have to borrow!"
"If my spirit stones are not enough, I will ask you to borrow them!"
"Alright!" He Pingsheng nodded.
Wang Dun asked again: "How much do you have on you?"
He Pingsheng thought for a while and said: "About forty or fifty thousand low-tier spirit stones!"
He didn't lie.
After running out of the Profound Heaven Sect, he spent a lot of spirit stones, and now the remainder is only a few tens of thousands.
Of course, this refers to low-tier spirit stones.
If you count mid-tier spirit stones, he still has quite a lot.
