Chapter 1967

"Thank you for your trust, Young Lady Gu!" He Pingsheng cupped his fists and said, "Then... I shall take my leave!"

After speaking, He Pingsheng gathered his things and prepared to leave.

Gu Ruyi said, "Young Master, please wait!"

He Pingsheng asked, "Does Young Lady Gu have any further instructions?"

Gu Ruyi said, "I wish to presumptuously ask a question: Fellow Daoist He, are these Heavenly Heart Divine Pills you purchased for your own use?"

Not waiting for He Pingsheng to speak, Gu Ruyi continued, "If I am not mistaken, Fellow Daoist, you have already opened your Divine Apertures!"

He Pingsheng's pupils contracted slightly.

Gu Ruyi continued, "So when Fellow Daoist first stepped into the Divine Spirit Realm, you had already swallowed the 【Nine Apertures Exquisite】, do you still have any of this thing on you?"

"If you do, I wish to trade for one stalk!"

"I am sincere!"

He Pingsheng did not deny it either!

But he did not admit it either, instead asking blandly, "How are you so certain that I swallowed the Nine Apertures Exquisite and opened my Divine Apertures?"

Gu Ruyi said, "My constitution is special, and I cultivate a special method, so I can tell!"

"Fellow Daoist He, please don't worry, I harbor no ill will, I merely wish to conduct a trade with Fellow Daoist!"

"Of course, I will not tell anyone about Fellow Daoist opening your Divine Apertures, including my father!"

He Pingsheng spread his hands and asked, "You can see other people's Divine Apertures?"

"Then... how many Divine Apertures the other party has opened, what level of genius they are, this also cannot escape you, right?"

Gu Ruyi shook her head: "This... I cannot do. I can only tell whether Fellow Daoist has opened apertures or not. As for how many apertures were opened, I cannot tell!"

"No!" He Pingsheng shook his head, directly refusing: "A thing like the Nine Apertures Exquisite, how could it be easily obtained?"

"That one stalk of mine was still gifted to me by my Senior Brother!"

"Young Lady Gu, please don't think about it anymore!"

He Pingsheng directly refused.

Although he still had five stalks, he still had to leave them for Qiao Huizhu, Wen Buwan, Xin Baobao, Taizhen and the others!

Even if one stalk remained in the end, He Pingsheng would rather keep it for his future descendants than trade it away.

After all, he doesn't lack cultivation resources, does he?

"Alas... what a pity!" Gu Ruyi said, "Fellow Daoist He... I'll see you out!"

"Mm!" He Pingsheng nodded.

The two left the Gu clan and arrived at the mountain gate.

He Pingsheng cupped his fists again: "Thank you for seeing me out, Young Lady Gu. He takes his leave!"

"Fellow Daoist He... wait a moment!" Gu Ruyi smiled and said, "When Fellow Daoist arrived just now, the flying boat you rode was quite extraordinary. May I board it to experience it?"

He Pingsheng nodded: "You may..."

He waved his hand and produced the flying boat.

At the same time, his Divine Sense swept over Gu Ruyi.

Not scanning you before was out of politeness; scanning you now is to ensure my own safety.

It does not count as rude.

Gu Ruyi's cultivation was laid bare under He Pingsheng's scan; she was a Divine Spirit Realm cultivator, but her cultivation was much higher than He Pingsheng's.

She was already at the seventh layer of the Divine Spirit Realm.

Bang—

He Pingsheng waved his hand and the flying boat unfolded.

The flying boat was not large; even unfolded, it was only three zhang long front to back, and six chi wide!

There was nothing on it.

No defensive formations, no buildings.

For the sake of extreme speed, this flying boat had only a single black shell.

He Pingsheng stepped onto it with one foot.

Behind him, Gu Ruyi also boarded.

The flying boat activated, slowly lifting into flight, its speed becoming faster and faster.

"Wow..." Seeing this speed, Gu Ruyi exclaimed in shock: "This fast?"

"I just saw your flying boat is of supreme grade, so I knew its speed was extraordinary, but it is still much faster than I imagined!"

"Big Brother He, may I try controlling it?" Gu Ruyi's form of address changed.

He Pingsheng noticed, but did not correct her.

He nodded.

Gu Ruyi walked to the flying boat's control console and began operating it.

"Big Brother He, what does this red button do?" she asked He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng said: "Press it, and the flying ship will enter a rapid rush state!"

"You must not press it..."

But He Pingsheng spoke too late.

Before his words fell, the woman's small hand had already pressed down.

Whoosh—

The next moment, the flying boat erupted with a powerful thrust!

He Pingsheng was fine; having learned from past experience, he steadied his figure.

But the Gu family's Young Lady had it worse — she rolled face-first across the flying boat several times!

If He Pingsheng hadn't been quick-eyed and fast-handed to grab her, this woman would already have been thrown off the flying boat.

The flying boat rushed forward for the span of a breath, then slowed down again.

"Is Miss Gu alright?" He Pingsheng looked at her with a hearty laugh!

Gu Ruyi's face flushed red as she said: "This flying boat is not bad, extremely fast, and during the rush it can even dodge attacks and accidents!"

"Excellent, excellent……"

"Fellow Daoist He, where was this flying boat bought?"

He Pingsheng said: "It was crafted by an elder of mine!"

"Ah?" Gu Ruyi said: "Self-made, this powerful?"

"Then…… are there more? I want one……"

"I can offer items of corresponding value in exchange!"

She looked at He Pingsheng with a face full of anticipation.

He Pingsheng said: "Don't mention it, I actually do have this thing!"

"What a coincidence!"

He waved his hand and produced a second 【Shen Xuan Tian Zhou】.

A black little boat, palm-sized.

Fourth-grade, supreme quality!

"You really have one…… wonderful, Big Brother He, what do you want?" Gu Ruyi said: "Spirit artifacts, pills, Dao law origins, or divine abilities and cultivation methods — all work!"

As a Shuang Shen Dan master clan, the Gu family's cultivation resources were certainly extremely abundant.

He Pingsheng hadn't spoken yet when he suddenly sensed energy fluctuations appearing at the flying boat's rear.

He whipped his head around, only to see in the distant sky a streak of red light flying rapidly toward them.

Even a cry for help rang out: "Fellow Daoist…… save me……"

Beside He Pingsheng, Gu Ruyi instantly turned pale with fright and said: "Run…… it's a Divine Lord!"

But He Pingsheng didn't move!

His pupils contracted slightly.

Although they were still too far away for him to discern the other's cultivation or appearance, he recognized the voice: Lian Nihong!

This was Lian Nihong's voice.

It was her!

"No rush!" He Pingsheng said: "This is a friend of mine!"

"From this far you can see her cultivation?" He Pingsheng was also convinced.

"Over here!" He Pingsheng waved at Lian Nihong and said: "It's me…… come quick……"

Upon hearing He Pingsheng's voice, Lian Nihong instinctively flew toward him at high speed.

But after a single breath, this woman suddenly veered off, heading to the side.

Right at this moment, He Pingsheng finally saw that behind Lian Nihong, two streaks of rainbow light were flying rapidly, chasing after her.

"Phew……" Gu Ruyi said: "Another two Divine Lords, your friend is considerate — she changed direction to avoid dragging you into it!"

He Pingsheng's pupils shrank, his expression incomparably grave, as he said: "Miss Ruyi, hold on tight…… I'm going to rush!"
