Chapter 1936

"Senior... please follow me!"

The Lu family elder bowed respectfully to Yusi and performed a salute.

Then he led Yusi and He Pingsheng out of the main hall and walked toward the Lu family's treasure vault.

To He Pingsheng, whether it was a treasure vault or not made no difference; his main purpose was to settle karmic debts with the Lu family.

With the Lu family threat gone, future cultivation and family management could finally proceed smoothly.

"Yusi, what realm is this old fellow in?" He Pingsheng secretly sent a divine sense transmission to Yusi.

Yusi's voice also came via divine sense: "God Venerable Realm, twelfth layer!"

"Only one minor level below me!"

He Pingsheng nodded: this old thing is truly strong.

However, advancing from God Venerable Realm to God King Realm is not that simple; this is not merely crossing a minor level, but involves a major realm elevation.

Such elevation requires not only divine pills for assistance, but also sufficient fortune and a qualitative improvement in understanding the Dao and laws.

Although it seems easy, in reality it may take dozens or even hundreds of eons to break through.

"Please..."

The Lu family elder brought the two to a massive metal door.

It is unknown what metal this door is made of; it leads underground, like the entrance to some underground palace.

Outside the door, there are three layers of restrictions, and several disciples at the Divine Spirit Realm stand guard.

Boom...

The gate opened, the formation activated.

For a moment, countless treasures' light shot out from within the gate.

Following the Lu family elder, He Pingsheng slowly entered the treasure vault; with a God King Realm servant present, he had nothing to worry about.

Safety could be entrusted to her.

After the three entered the treasure vault, the rear gate slowly closed again.

The underground space is very large.

Also very spacious.

Such a vast underground area contains only four shelves for storing treasures.

One shelf is filled with various divine artifacts, another with various pills.

Another shelf holds various jade slips, and the last one holds various materials.

Besides these four shelves, the treasure vault also features several specially constructed display stands similar to those in a merchant guild, each three feet long and wide, towering high, with items placed upon them.

Needless to say, anything placed on these display stands is extraordinary.

"This is my Lu family's treasure vault... Young Master may freely choose three items!"

The Lu family elder appeared extremely generous.

He Pingsheng nodded: "Good!"

His divine sense surged outward as he began to patrol the treasure vault.

Soon, everything came fully into his view.

He Pingsheng quickly walked toward one of the display stands.

Behind him, the Lu family elder followed closely.

"Young Master... within this formation lies a divine vein!" The Lu family elder laughed heartily and waved his hand; the formation on the display stand deactivated, exposing the contents—indeed, it was a divine vein.

This divine vein is larger than the medium-grade divine vein He Pingsheng had strengthened using the Treasure Gathering Immortal Basin earlier, and also appears more advanced.

He Pingsheng asked: "Is this... top-grade?"

"Young Master has discerning eyes like a torch!" The Lu family elder replied: "Exactly top-grade!"

"Not bad!" He Pingsheng said: "I'll take it!"

"No problem!" The Lu family elder personally picked up the top-grade divine vein and handed it to He Pingsheng.

He breathed a sigh of relief; the value of this item is actually not as high as imagined.

Of course, He Pingsheng is not foolish; he knows this item is quite commonplace.

But it doesn't matter, because he currently needs it.

And urgently so.

As the family grows larger and disciples increase, plus the need to cultivate the Three Zhang Valley, medium-grade divine veins are proving insufficient.

Only top-grade will suffice.

He Pingsheng's Treasure Gathering Basin wishes to be strengthened to top-grade, but it's unknown when that will happen—year of the monkey, month of the horse; the key is, divine veins are not easy to purchase.

Especially top-grade ones.

Otherwise, the Lu family would not have placed this single top-grade divine vein alone on a display stand.

Next, He Pingsheng continued inspecting.

Divine artifacts from first to fifth grade are all present!

No sixth grade.

Of course, He Pingsheng believes that as a mid-level God Venerable Realm cultivator, the Lu family elder certainly possesses sixth-grade divine artifacts on his person.

Divine artifacts need not be selected; He Pingsheng is not lacking in such items.

As for pills and the like, he is also not lacking.

While wandering through the treasure vault, He Pingsheng suddenly felt his Hongmeng Purple Gold Staff and purple gold gloves transmit a simultaneous throbbing sensation.

???

Good stuff?

He Pingsheng followed the throbbing sensation in a leisurely manner, searching along its direction.

Then, as a matter of course, he arrived beside a rack filled with various materials.

"Young Master... Young Master... fragment..."

"Left side of the rack, the bottom layer, in the corner..."

"A blue-green fragment!"

"There's something good inside this fragment!"

"Young Master, Young Master, absolutely cannot miss it!"

The voices of Hong Ling and Zi Ling rang out in He Pingsheng's mind.

He crouched down, and in the corner of the left side of the rack, he indeed retrieved a fragment.

The fragment was neither large nor small, roughly half a chi square.

Overall it presented a triangular shape, its edges extremely irregular; one look showed it was a trace of shattering.

Divine Sense swept over it — ordinary, nothing remarkable.

"I'll take this one..." He Pingsheng shook the fragment in his hand.

"Good!" the Lu Family Biyun Laozu agreed at the first moment, but then he asked another question: "This object was obtained by this old man back when he was at the Divine Lord realm, from within the Tian Gu Ruins!"

"It looks ordinary; does Young Master He know what this thing is?"

He Pingsheng said: "A fragment, it should belong to a high-grade Divine Artifact!"

"Might even be a fragment of a Ninth-Grade Divine Artifact!"

"Oh!" the Lu Family Biyun Laozu nodded: "Then that's extraordinary..."

So what if it's extraordinary?

A fragment of a Ninth-Grade Divine Artifact is still just a fragment, not the Ninth-Grade Divine Artifact itself.

Regarding He Pingsheng taking this fragment, he did not have too much hesitation.

After obtaining the second item, He Pingsheng returned once more to the place where those several display platforms were located.

Turning a circle, he discovered a golden Divine Bone on a certain display platform.

This looked like a section of a small forearm bone from some living being.

"What is this?" He Pingsheng pointed at the bone and asked.

The Lu Family Biyun Laozu said: "It should be from the ancient era, the Divine Bone of some demon race; a type of extremely formidable body-refining method is engraved upon the bone!"

"What a pity, what a pity... this bone is broken, missing half, so the body-refining method is naturally incomplete as well!"

"Young Master, please look!"

The Lu Family Biyun Laozu deactivated the formation, took out the bone, and handed it into He Pingsheng's hand.

He Pingsheng's Divine Sense probed into it, and an extremely profound runic pattern flashed in his mind.

"That's right... it's a body-refining divine ability that uses lightning as a catalyst!"

The name of the divine ability is: Stripping the Ultimate to Give Birth to Recovery Scroll Thunder Method.

It is a supreme method that empowers one's own body with the power of lightning, forging the physical body.

Although it is only a remnant chapter, judging from the remnant chapter's content, this is at least a Heaven-Grade cultivation method.

And an extremely high-grade Heaven-Grade cultivation method at that.

Good stuff.

"This one... I'll take it too!" He Pingsheng shook the half-section of bone in his hand.

Fellow Daoist, three chapters for three releases isn't too much, right...
