Chapter 2197: You Have Been Thoughtful

After finishing his own affairs, He Pingsheng set out again.

From Spring City to Peach Mountain.

This time, thanks to his God King Realm flying speed, He Pingsheng arrived on Peach Mountain in less than half a day.

He swept out with his Divine Sense and found no major changes around him.

Even so, He Pingsheng did not directly enter the Peach family, but instead had Gu Baipin take the jade tablet there.

Gu Baipin went to the Peach family.

It went smoothly; in about the time it takes to burn half an incense stick, she brought the items back.

Not only did Gu Baipin come, but Peach Yaoyao also followed her.

"Husband... Fellow Daoist He..." Her eyes held both expectation and apprehension; upon seeing He Pingsheng, they seemed to turn into relief.

She bowed her hands to He Pingsheng: respectful yet helpless.

He Pingsheng smiled and said: "Why this expression?"

Peach Yaoyao said: "Recently, the entire Divine Realm has been issuing a warrant for your arrest; it's said you obtained the Seven Curses Book—is that true?"

He Pingsheng nodded: "Yes!"

"But later, I sold the Seven Curses Book to the God Emperor, so no one is hunting me anymore!"

"Good!" Peach Yaoyao beamed.

He Pingsheng asked: "Did I bring you any trouble? Has anyone from Spring City come looking for trouble with your Peach family?"

Peach Yaoyao did not hide anything: "At first, yes—they arrested our whole family to force us to reveal your whereabouts!"

"The Shang family too!"

"But not long after—just a few years—they released us again!"

A flash of killing intent passed through He Pingsheng's eyes: "Who?"

Peach Yaoyao shook her head: "I don't know; the one who captured us was a God Emperor, but I don't know if anyone stood behind him!"

"But... Fellow Daoist He, you're unharred, right? Hehehe... You're already at the fourth layer of the God Lord Realm?"

"This... this soon?"

"You're too fast!"

Peach Yaoyao's expression turned again to utter astonishment.

She knew best, for when He Pingsheng first met her aunt, he was only at the first layer of the God Lord Realm.

In all this time, how long has it been? And now he's at the fourth layer!

Such speed!

He Pingsheng gave a bitter smile: "You only see my cultivation breakthrough, but you don't know what I've endured these years."

"You've suffered!" Peach Yaoyao said, saying he had suffered, but her eyes swept over the three delicate women beside He Pingsheng.

"Our Peach family keeps its word; this is what we promised you then..." As she spoke, Peach Yaoyao handed over two jade boxes: "The spatial attribute one is from our Peach family; the other, wood attribute, is from the Shang family!"

He Pingsheng accepted the two jade boxes without hesitation.

The spatial attribute jade box from the Peach family needs no explanation; this one from the Shang family is what He Pingsheng won from Shang Yong after their bet.

He Pingsheng opened the jade box to take a look.

He had seen the Shakyamuni Divine Fruit before; last time in Ice Pole City, he had Gu Baipin buy one, though it was ice-attribute.

Now, there came spatial-attribute and wood-attribute ones.

Let's strengthen first!

"Thank you!" He Pingsheng bowed his hands.

Peach Yaoyao looked somewhat downcast and said: "Big Brother He... you... after you leave this time, will you never come back again?"

He Pingsheng took a deep breath and said: "Perhaps we can still meet in the future!"

At that moment, Peach Yaoyao's tears flowed out.

He Pingsheng did not know what to say!

After about several breaths, Peach Yaoyao wiped dry her tears and said: "Well... Big Brother He leaving is your freedom, but our family elder said she wants to see you!"

"If you're willing, come sit a while at our Peach family home!"

By now, He Pingsheng had basically confirmed the Peach family posed no danger.

Earlier, he had let Gu Baipin go first precisely to avoid the aftermath of the last warrant affecting the Peach family, and then he himself would walk into the net.

Since the aftermath has now passed, it doesn't matter anymore.

Several people turned into streaks of light and flew into the void; after a while, they landed before the guest hall of the Peach family.

Li Yue Ren personally came out to greet them.

"Greetings, Senior Li!" He Pingsheng bowed his hands.

Li Yue Ren, however, shook her head and said: "Not dare... Fellow Daoist He, we should still treat each other as peers!"

Where would she dare to act as an elder?

Besides, not to mention that He Pingsheng once, right under her eyes, beheaded Gongsun Shi Liu with a single slash, and now, with the three God King Realm women beside him, Li Yue Ren dares not treat them lightly.

"Please come in; I just recently brought a batch of divine tea from Spring City, and its taste is excellent—it not only refreshes the mind but also dispels obsession!"

"Fellow Daoist He, please try some!"

Li Yue Ren laughed heartily and invited everyone into the main hall.

Then, host and guest took their seats, cups of clear tea were served, and for a moment, the entire hall filled with tea fragrance.

"Not bad!" He Pingsheng smiled: "Fellow Daoist Li, your divine tea tastes wonderful!"

"I heard Yaoyao say that someone once caused trouble for the Peach family!"

"Ah..." Li Yue Ren waved her hand and said: "Just a minor incident; Fellow Daoist He need not take it to heart, and we Peach family do not intend to pursue it!"

"Actually, there isn't much loss when you think about it!"

"He Daoist... I heard you've been searching for that method of transforming blood into soul, I don't know if you've found it yet?" Li Yue Ren set down the teacup in her hand on the table, looking at He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng shook his head: "No!"

"Hehehe..." Li Yue Ren laughed, saying: "Look at this!"

He took out a blood-red jade slip and personally handed it to He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng took it and glanced at it.

Title: Birth Soul Blood Scripture!

It truly is a method that transforms blood into living soul.

However, it is incomplete, and its grade is low—only middle-tier Xuan rank.

But all of this is no problem for He Pingsheng, who possesses the Treasure Gathering Basin.

"Really?" He Pingsheng felt a surge of warmth in his heart: "Li Daoist... where did you obtain this?"

Li Yue Ren said: "Back then, I sent my clan's people to search everywhere, but they found nothing!"

"Later, I thought that the Peach Blossom Divine Kingdom should have this, so I dispatched disciples from my clan to go to the Peach Blossom Divine Kingdom to search!"

"After countless years—tens of millions of years in total—I finally found it!"

"I know, you want to use blood to transform into living soul, then cultivate a fourth-grade Soul-Nurturing Divine Object, the Shan Gua Zi—unfortunately, this is merely a divine ability similar to a cultivation method, incapable of being transformed by a grand formation; it can only strengthen one's own soul!"

"It can be considered a clever method of soul cultivation!"

"I don't even know if it can be used!"

He Pingsheng looked solemn: "Thank you, Li Daoist, this gift is too precious..."

"You also meant well—this kindness, He Pingsheng will surely keep in heart!"

"No need to say that!" Li Yue Ren said: "Back then, when my Tao clan was on the brink of extinction, it was precisely He Daoist who acted, allowing us to turn danger into safety; now we have even risen to the top ten clans above Tao Mountain—everything is thanks to your merit. Helping you find a cultivation method or divine ability is actually nothing!"

"Moreover, privately, you are still our Tao clan's son-in-law!"

Tao Yao Yao instantly blushed.

He Pingsheng thought for a moment, then said: "Thank you... how about this: in the coming period, I plan to seclude myself in the Tao clan to cultivate—on one hand, to comprehend this method, and on the other, to refine the formation!"

"If I can truly evolve a formation that transforms blood into soul, then I will cultivate this 【Shan Gua Zi】 in your Tao clan; whatever we gain, we shall share the benefits equally!"

"Really?" Tao Yao Yao, upon hearing this, became excited and straightened her chest, overjoyed.

"Good, good, good..." Li Yue Ren also laughed happily: "I'll immediately have someone prepare a cultivation ground for you... no, no, no... you should still stay in Yao Yao's cultivation ground!"

Only, the two were happy for different reasons.
