Chapter 2090: Lu's Shop, Formerly Arrogant, Now Respectful

He Pingsheng thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "Okay... I agree!"

Regarding the Sheng Zha Zi matter, he has already run around many places.

Indeed, he couldn't get it.

Sheng Zha Zi is still manageable, but when he reached the God King Realm to refine his spirit using Kunlun Blood Slaughter Child, that was truly difficult!

"Alright!" Tao Bifu said: "Next is the appraisal. I will give you a fair price for these divine artifacts!"

"However, the merchant guild also needs to be dealt with!" Tao Bifu casually picked out a flying sword from He Pingsheng's over a hundred divine artifacts and said: "Sell this to the merchant guild; I'll take the rest!"

He Pingsheng was not worried about the appraisal.

Because the price of top-grade fifth-rank divine artifacts is basically transparent, with little fluctuation, as long as the offered price is within an acceptable range, it's fine.

Two days later, the appraisal was completed, and He Pingsheng and Tao Bifu agreed to meet in a room at Xiankeju.

"Alright!" Tao Bifu threw a ring in front of He Pingsheng: "Inside is the divine gold you requested, all of lower grade—take a look!"

He Pingsheng swept his Divine Sense into the ring, and indeed, it was all lower-grade divine gold.

Hehehe...

This divine gold is enough for him to strengthen a hundred epochs.

He Pingsheng also handed over the remaining over a hundred fifth-rank divine artifacts to Tao Bifu.

Tao Bifu said: "Now I can tell you... here!"

She took out a jade slip, handed it to He Pingsheng, and said: "In Spring City, there is a shop called 【Lu's Shop】, which specializes in selling pills and various alchemy materials!"

"This place does not sell Sheng Zha Zi!"

"However, the Lu family behind this shop is a family that cultivates Sheng Zha Zi!"

"This is a human family, with a God Emperor Realm expert holding the fort behind them. If you want to buy Sheng Zha Zi, just go to them directly!"

"Stop the nonsense—take out whatever you think can move them, and naturally, Sheng Zha Zi will be given to you!"

"If you cannot move them, then pretend I never said anything!"

"Okay!" He Pingsheng nodded, put away the jade slip, and glanced at it casually.

The jade slip contained some basic information about the Lu family, as well as a method for cultivating 【Sheng Zha Zi】.

"This is the method for cultivating Sheng Zha Zi?" He Pingsheng was somewhat surprised.

Tao Bifu said: "An extra gift for you... but... for you, it should be of little use, because although this cultivation method exists, its conditions are extremely harsh, requiring a large amount of 【Sheng Hun】 as nourishment!"

"Hehehe... this is not something just anyone can obtain!"

He Pingsheng nodded.

Indeed so.

Can't I just kill people every day?

But, where do these families cultivating Sheng Zha Zi obtain such large amounts of Sheng Hun?

"Finally!" Tao Bifu took out another token and said: "This is our Tao family's entry and exit token. Take it to the Tao family, and naturally someone will arrange your participation in the competition!"

"However, I need to tell you in advance: the competition is still far off!"

"It will begin after sixteen yuan!"

"The specific time is sixteen yuan plus thirty-four thousand nine hundred thirty-two years later!"

"You need to arrive at our Tao family at least one year in advance!"

He Pingsheng nodded: "I've remembered it, but... using outsiders—doesn't that break the rules?"

After all, it's a family competition.

"No!" Tao Bifu said: "Almost all families seek external help; this has already been an openly permitted rule!"

"Remember, Chengnan Taoshan!"

"See you later!"

Tao Bifu left with over a hundred divine artifacts, and before leaving, she reminded He Pingsheng not to speak of today's transaction.

He Pingsheng naturally would not say anything.

He Pingsheng put away the token and took out the jade slip again.

The contents recorded in the jade slip are very simple, divided into two parts.

The first part is an introduction to the Lu family, stating that their business is very large, the family keeps a low profile, and there is a God Emperor Realm elder ancestor sitting in charge.

The second part is the method for cultivating 【Sheng Zha Zi】.

He Pingsheng estimated that this cultivation method is probably a common one; otherwise, Tao Bifu wouldn't be so generous as to give it to him for free.

He carefully read through the cultivation method again.

The method is not difficult—it's basically just planting—but the difficulty lies in the nourishment required during its growth: Sheng Hun.

This is indeed nowhere to be found.

Let's strengthen it first!

He Pingsheng threw the cultivation method into the Treasure Gathering Basin for strengthening, then walked out of Xiankeju and went to Lu's Shop.

This shop is indeed low-key, located in a relatively remote part of the city.

The shop is small, only three bays wide.

Behind the counter sat an old man, whose cultivation was not low—he had already reached the peak of the God Venerable Realm.

Just one step away from advancing to God King.

"Young man, what would you like?" The old man stepped out from behind the counter; he neither flattered nor was impolite.

He Pingsheng quickly clasped his hands: "Greetings, senior. I, the junior, have come to request the purchase of a special item!"

"Oh?" The old man's eyes flickered slightly: "How special could it be?"

Before He Pingsheng could speak, the old man suddenly seemed to realize something: "Hehehe... I understand!"

"Youngster, you have quite a few tricks, actually managing to find our Lu family!"

"But you've come to the wrong place!"

The old man's face slowly turned cold: "Some things are not for you to obtain, nor are they for me to decide!"

"You... go away!"

After saying that, the old man waved his hand.

He Pingsheng did not leave, but stood before the old man and said: "Senior, why must you keep people at arm's length?"

"I can afford the price!"

"Hmph..." The old man let out a cold snort: "In this world, there are plenty who can afford the price!"

"Some things cannot be bought just because you have money!"

He Pingsheng said: "Won't you take a look at my things?"

The old man shook his head.

A Divine Lord realm cultivator, and only at the first layer of Divine Lord, what good thing could you possibly produce?

"Please just take a look!" He Pingsheng said with a confident expression!

He took out a jade box from his ring: "Senior, please look at this..."

But the old man was extremely stubborn: "No need to look... no need to look at all!"

"Now, at this very moment, immediately, right away... disappear from before my eyes!"

"Otherwise, I will not be polite!"

Killing intent almost showed in the old man's eyes.

He Pingsheng shook his head with a smile, thinking to himself that this old fellow was too stubborn.

Then he changed his approach: "How about this... today, this junior also wishes to purchase something, and would like to ask the senior to look at what's in this jade box, and by the way give me an appraisal!"

"How about it?"

"You surely cannot refuse to accept a guest's belongings here, can you?"

He Pingsheng offered this reason, and the old man could only grit his teeth and nod, saying: "Alright!"

"You'd better have something worthwhile!"

He brusquely took He Pingsheng's jade box, then opened a slit, and extended his Divine Sense into it.

"This... this is..." The old man was instantly shocked and dismayed: "Young Master... please..."

"Let's discuss the details inside!"
