Chapter 2059: Nine Aspects
"Lately, this Young Master doesn't really want to go into seclusion either!"
"I want to take a stroll around Xuanji City, but I'm afraid of being exposed!"
"Does the family have any divine talismans that can disguise me for a long time?"
He Pingsheng looked at Old Cao and asked.
Back in the Equal Zone of the Collapsed Dao Fallen Yellow, everyone waited together for the opening of the Heavenly Coffin Daoist's inheritance; at that time, he was called out by name once by the Big-Mouthed Fish!
After it opened, he was called out by name once more by the Heavenly Coffin Daoist's soul.
Finally, he also participated in the struggle for the Grand Primordial Ultimate Dao Bell.
At that time, there were piles upon piles of thousands upon thousands of God Kings all around!
Moreover, He Pingsheng was almost certain that one hundred percent of those God Kings from before included people from Xuanji City's side; if he were recognized by these people, it would absolutely be no good thing.
Better to find a way to conceal himself.
"Uh... no!" Old Cao shook his head and said: "There are a few fifth-grade divine talismans, but those things can't block a God King's Divine Sense scan!"
"If one really ran into a God King, they'd see through it at a glance!"
"This kind, does the Young Master need it?"
He Pingsheng shook his head: "Forget this kind, I don't need it!"
"Then this side of mine does have a mask!" Old Cao said: "Last time it was borrowed by Lady Su; I'll go fetch it right now, Young Master, wait for me!"
Finished speaking, Old Cao walked straight out of He Pingsheng's dao arena!
In a dozen or so breaths, he returned again, presenting a pink mask before He Pingsheng.
He Pingsheng picked up the mask and asked: "What is this?"
"A divine artifact..." Old Cao said: "This divine artifact is named 【Nine Aspects】, roughly equivalent to eighth-grade among divine artifacts... once worn, it conceals the original features, and even a God Emperor cannot see through it!"
"However, Nine Aspects also has a flaw: it can only be used nine times!"
"Nine times?" He Pingsheng's brows furrowed slightly: "Isn't this a divine talisman?"
"No no no..." Old Cao waved his hand and said: "It's that this old servant didn't explain clearly; not nine times, but nine individuals..."
"This item requires no refining, yet can only let nine people use it!"
"When I obtained it back then, it had already been used three times!"
"Wrong wrong... it had been used by three people!"
"Later, I gave it to Lady Su; every time Lady Su went out she would wear the mask, transforming into an ordinary appearance to go out!"
"Lady Su used it, occupying one slot!"
"Later, Lady Qiao, Lady Wen, and Lady Ming King all used it too!"
"Now there should still be two slots left!"
"Want to try it, Young Master?"
"Mm..." He Pingsheng nodded.
His Divine Sense spread out, entering inside.
Inside, figure after figure of statues were revealed.
There were seven in total!
As for specifically which one was used by whom, He Pingsheng didn't know.
But as he sent his Divine Sense into this mask, some information within the mask also surfaced.
Just as Old Cao said, this thing's grade was roughly equivalent to an eighth-grade divine artifact.
Within the mask, nine 【Aspects】 can be branded, and this mask recognizes its masters; each person can only brand one Aspect.
And each person can only use their own Aspect, unable to use an Aspect branded by someone else.
Equivalent to: one divine artifact, nine masters.
Everyone can use it.
No refining needed!
Tsk tsk tsk...
He Pingsheng immediately exclaimed in admiration: "Old Cao... there's actually such a miraculous divine artifact in the world?"
"Where did you get it from?"
Old Cao said: "It wasn't me who got it; it was a certain disciple of our He family who presented it at a family trade fair; I compensated him with a sufficient amount of divine gold!"
"Awesome!" He Pingsheng said: "Is that disciple still around?"
Old Cao said: "Don't know; I've forgotten which one it was!"
"Fine!" He Pingsheng nodded and said: "Then I'll try using it too!"
"How exactly do you use it?"
Old Cao explained the usage method to him again.
Next was molding his own features inside the mask.
Half an incense stick later, a figure handsome enough to compel, carefree and elegant, appeared before Old Cao.
"Good heavens..." Old Cao gaped, saying: "Young Master... this is too handsome, isn't it?"
He Pingsheng said: "Since birth, this Young Master has been ordinary in looks; now that I finally have a chance to change my face, can't I make myself a bit better-looking?"
"Hahaha..."
"Let's go, let's go..."
"Off to stroll around Xuanji City!"
Twilight activated; He Pingsheng brought Old Cao along, transforming into a streak of light, flying toward Xuanji City.
Of course, there was no worry about the Peng family suddenly attacking the He family.
Old Cao had arranged everything; should anyone from the Peng family come to attack, Old Diao would send word at the first moment.
Old Cao also carried a small teleportation talisman on his person that could return him to the clan instantly.
One day later, the spirit boat descended at the city gate.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh…
He Pingsheng's spirit boat had just touched down when several golden spirit boats flew straight into Xuanji City right above his head.
He Pingsheng was filled with envy.
"Is that the thing?" He Pingsheng asked, looking at those spirit boats.
"Yes, Young Master, that's the thing!" Old Cao grinned broadly. "The spirit boats sold by the City Lord's Mansion are gold all over, vulgar beyond endurance, but that is their mark!"
"Let's go!" He Pingsheng brought Old Cao into Xuanji City.
Step one: first find a demon beast to carry them and send them to the designated teleportation hall.
Then queue at the teleportation hall and wait, teleporting to the destination one by one.
Because the teleportation array cannot transport continuously — each use requires a cooldown of half an incense stick's time — overall it is still quite time-consuming.
At this moment, He Pingsheng truly wished he also had one of those vulgar-beyond-endurance spirit boats sold by the City Lord's Mansion.
After several transfers, the two finally arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.
From afar, the plaza of the City Lord's Mansion was densely packed with tens of thousands of spirit boats!
Each spirit boat was ten zhang in size, two zhang in width.
And beneath each spirit boat there was also a stone stele.
The steles were not tall, only three zhang high, their area merely a circle larger than the spirit boats!
"Those are the boat numbers…" Old Cao chuckled. "There is an expert in this City Lord's Mansion… with this arrangement, these vulgar-beyond-endurance spirit boats actually sold for sky-high prices!"
He Pingsheng said: "No way, these spirit boats don't even have space arrays installed, unable to shrink?"
"Isn't this too crude?"
"Who says it isn't?" Old Cao said. "Not only that, their flight speed is also very ordinary, and their appearance isn't good-looking either!"
"But inside the city they are indeed very convenient!"
He Pingsheng nodded: "That is true!"
At the very least, from now on when entering the city there's no need to find a demon beast at the city gate to carry oneself running through the city; one can just pilot the boat and land here directly.
That would eliminate a lot of trouble.
On the other hand, having one's own boat number on the City Lord's Mansion plaza is also a symbol of status.
"Buy…" He Pingsheng decided on the spot: "Old Cao… go buy a boat number!"
This thing is truly too convenient.
Mm…
However, if every major chamber of commerce entrance also had such a place to park spirit boats, that would be even more convenient!
