Chapter 248: Wu Xiang Bei Dou Ding

First thing: set up the array!

After He Pingsheng arranged several layers of arrays on Qiao Huizhu's first floor, he did the same on his own third floor.

With this, he could cultivate in peace.

He sat cross-legged on the mat, waved his hand, and pulled out several items.

Dan Fire!

God-Slaying Technique!

Golden Thunder Talisman!

Ku Ma Zi!

These were several items He Pingsheng obtained at the Jiaoyi Society.

Back at Skull Mountain, he dared not bring them out for enhancement; now, it was time.

First, toss in one Dan Fire.

The next day, the Dan Fire had been enhanced into two.

Both clusters of Dan Fire had become top-grade.

One was a blue flame, the other a red flame.

He Pingsheng kept the red flame aside and began refining the blue one.

Once refined, he could use it for alchemy from now on.

No more firewood.

Using too much firewood would make people laugh at you.

While refining the flame, He Pingsheng tossed more items into the Treasure Basin.

This time, he dumped everything in at once: the jade slip, two Golden Thunder Talismans, and a pile of Ku Ma Zi.

Next, He Pingsheng used the residual warmth of the Shuang Shen Dan to refine the flame.

Because his spiritual sense was now strong enough, the refinement progressed quickly.

Five days later, he fully refined the blue flame.

"Out…"

With a thought, a cluster of flame appeared before him.

The blue flame radiated heat that gathered and did not disperse.

It could instantly adjust its size, intensity, and more under spiritual sense control.

Using this for alchemy was perfect.

Of course, this required a sufficiently strong spiritual sense.

"Retract!" He Pingsheng drew in his spiritual power, and the blue flame vanished instantly.

"Huh…" He Pingsheng muttered: "Let's see what the Treasure Basin enhanced!"

He took out the Hundred Treasures Bag from his storage pouch, then pulled out another storage pouch from within it.

He looked closely—the items inside the Treasure Basin had multiplied.

The two Golden Thunder Talismans had been enhanced into four.

One jade slip had become two: one black, one white.

As for Ku Ma Zi, the quantity had doubled, and all had been upgraded to top-grade.

"Retract…" He first stored away the Ku Ma Zi.

Then He Pingsheng picked up one talisman.

Name: Jī Lei Talisman

Quality: top-grade

Rank: Third Grade!

Effect: After activation, it summons a Jī Lei to strike the opponent, capable of easily erasing a Jin Dan cultivator.

Sssss…

Seeing this description, He Pingsheng's whole body went numb.

Good heavens, it could easily erase a Jin Dan cultivator?

Too powerful.

So happy!

Next time I meet that bastard Bai Shangli, I'll just kill him outright.

All four talismans were Jī Lei Talismans.

Store them away.

Finally, only two jade slips remained in the Treasure Basin.

One black, one white.

The black one looked sinister!

The white one radiated vast, pure energy.

Let's check the white one first.

He Pingsheng reached out, picked up the white jade slip, and pressed it to his forehead.

Quickly, its contents surfaced in his mind.

It was a spiritual sense technique.

Name: Zi Fu Nine Shield Method.

Rank: Heaven!

Effect: After cultivation, nine permanent spiritual shields form in the Zi Fu of the spiritual sea, constantly blocking external spiritual attacks.

This…

Sssss…

Unnatural.

He Pingsheng was utterly stunned.

Everyone knew spiritual attacks could not be blocked.

Like the Soul-Erasing Bell—when it struck, you couldn't stop it.

No method, whether magic treasure or technique, had ever been heard of that could block spiritual attacks.

Now, good.

I have a technique that blocks spiritual attacks.

And once cultivated, it forms nine chaotic shields permanently anchored in the spiritual sea.

As long as they don't shatter, they remain forever.

Constant protection for the spiritual sea.

Excellent…

Perfect.

He Pingsheng was overwhelmed with excitement, eager to begin cultivating this spiritual sense technique immediately.

And this spiritual sea defense technique could also be taught to Qiao Huizhu, to shield her from spiritual attacks.

Wait!

Let's see what's written on the black jade slip!

He Pingsheng tossed the white jade slip back into the basin and picked up the black one.

He pressed the black jade slip to his forehead.

Again, its information flooded his mind instantly.

Name: Wu Xiang Bei Dou Ding.

Rank: Heaven.

Effect: After cultivation, one can condense seven invisible, formless Bei Dou Star Nails with spiritual sense, used to attack an opponent's spiritual sense; once formed, they permanently reside and are nurtured in the Zi Fu spiritual sea.

Oh…

Though he had anticipated it, after understanding this technique, He Pingsheng was again utterly stunned.

This was a technique!

Like the nine shields, these seven spiritual nails were permanent, nurtured in the spiritual sea, and when released, one nail could kill instantly.

So vicious.

But I like it.

With this, I won't fear Jin Dan cultivators anymore.

"Cultivate…"

But which one to start with?

That was the question.

One attack, one defense—both treasures in my hands!

In the end, He Pingsheng decided to begin with the Wu Xiang Bei Dou Ding attack technique.

Let's go!

While the Shuang Shen Dan's effect still lingers, keep cultivating.

He Pingsheng opened the Wu Xiang Bei Dou Ding and began studying it.

When cultivating cultivation techniques or divine abilities, the stronger one's spiritual sense, the faster the speed.

After eight days passed like this, He Pingsheng had brought the Formless North Star Nail to the threshold level.

Reaching the threshold is not difficult; after thoroughly reading it, if one can move it with spiritual sense, that is the threshold.

But to fully cultivate the spiritual sense nail, it is not something achieved in a short time.

He Pingsheng gritted his teeth and pulled out another top-grade Dual-Spirit Pill, then swallowed it in one gulp.

His spiritual sense increased tenfold.

Continue cultivating!

After nearly two months passed like this, He Pingsheng had consumed three Dual-Spirit Pills and finally brought the Formless North Star Nail's spiritual sense ability to minor accomplishment.

Minor accomplishment meant his spiritual sense had condensed seven nails.

These nails formed the arrangement of the Big Dipper's seven stars and were normally nurtured within his mind sea.

At critical moments, with a single thought, they could strike enemies invisibly from afar.

"Release…"

Swoosh… swoosh… swoosh…

Seven invisible, formless spiritual sense nails shot swiftly from He Pingsheng's mind sea and slammed hard against the wooden doorframe on the third floor.

Bang… bang… bang…

Seven sounds echoed from the empty wooden door.

The seven spiritual sense nails left seven deep marks on the door.

He Pingsheng's face instantly turned pale.

The power of this spiritual sense ability was certainly there—he could now easily kill any Foundation Establishment cultivator with a single thought.

Yet, its consumption was immense.

Put simply, he could only use it once.

After one use, his spiritual sense would be exhausted and drained.
