Chapter 251: The Cultivation Clan Mi Family

Next, Mi Rong would pilot the flying vessel.

Qiao Huizhu watched her.

He Pingsheng took out the red ring, flicked his spiritual sense, and erased its mark.

The contents inside were clear at a glance.

Spirit stones!

Many spirit stones.

Over a million low-grade spirit stones.

More than four hundred mid-grade spirit stones.

Besides these, there were some third-grade materials and elixirs, and He Pingsheng even found two third-grade talismans inside.

One was a defensive talisman, called the Ice Shield Talisman; when activated, it formed a massive ice shield to block enemy attacks.

The other was an offensive talisman, called the 【Break Wood Talisman】, a wood-attribute talisman that, when used, sent a surge of wood energy deep into the opponent's body, continuously draining their magic power.

Both were very useful to He Pingsheng.

Besides these, there was a pile of jade slips.

Containing talismans, alchemy, cultivation techniques, spells, and more.

He Pingsheng took out the jade slips, glanced through them, found nothing he was interested in, and tossed them to Qiao Huizhu: "Sister, check if any of these suit you."

If you can't use them, sell them somewhere.

Qiao Huizhu studied them for a while, then happily picked up a jade slip on 【Talismans】: "I want this one; I don't need anything else!"

He Pingsheng continued examining.

There were also magic treasures.

One flying sword: mid-grade magic treasure.

One flying vessel: mid-grade magic treasure.

Several spirit treasure shields.

Finally, one magic treasure fell into He Pingsheng's hands.

This magic treasure was mid-grade quality, bearing ten layers of seals; at first glance, it looked like a small iron flag.

What is this?

Curious, He Pingsheng pulled the magic treasure from the ring and placed it in his palm.

His spiritual sense swept over it, and he instantly understood: Thousand Souls Banner.

It was a relatively rare magic treasure of demonic nature.

A sinister artifact, deeply malevolent.

But it was indeed powerful.

When summoned in battle, countless yin souls would burst forth to aid in combat.

If cultivated to a high enough level, once unfurled, it could turn a thousand li barren, silence all birds for ten thousand li.

It could even obscure the sky and seal off an entire realm.

Of course, that required an extremely high level.

Yet, to forge it, one must absorb spiritual souls into it, blocking the natural cycle of heaven and earth, thereby accumulating dark karma.

He Pingsheng's spiritual sense probed the Thousand Souls Banner and found hundreds of souls already inside.

It was easy to guess where these souls came from.

And they were all female ghosts.

Sssss…

As He Pingsheng contemplated this, he felt a chill run through his body.

All he could say was that Bai Shangli had committed countless evils—his death was well-deserved.

He put away the Thousand Souls Banner.

He had no intention of subjugating it.

Later, he'd place it in the Treasure Basin for enhancement; if it improved into something useful, he'd use it; if not, he'd discard it.

After all, he already had more than enough treasures.

During the flight, He Pingsheng didn't idle.

He secretly enhanced the two talismans.

The Ice Shield Talisman was enhanced into two Jipin third-grade 【Ice Origin Talismans】, still defensive.

The Break Wood Talisman was enhanced into two Jipin third-grade 【Siphon Vitality Talismans】, offensive.

After activation, the Siphon Vitality Talisman sent a surge of wood energy into the opponent's body, continuously draining their life force.

Terrifying indeed.

The mid-grade magic treasure 【Flying Vessel】 was enhanced into two: one named 【Soaring Vessel】, the other 【Eight Treasures Boat】; both were Jipin magic treasures with eight layers of seals.

Once subjugated, his flight speed would no longer be an issue.

Finally, He Pingsheng enhanced the crimson ring as well.

It was enhanced into two Jipin versions: one blue, one black.

The Jipin rings had larger storage space—each fifty zhang in diameter.

This item could be used indefinitely.

He Pingsheng chose the blue one to wear on his finger and gave the black one to Qiao Huizhu.

"Where did you get this?" Qiao Huizhu asked, astonished.

He Pingsheng said: "War loot. Don't ask questions—just put it on!"

For the rest of the loot, he gave Qiao Huizhu several dozen thousand spirit stones; he gave her nothing else.

Unnecessary.

Hummm…

After slight subjugation, the blue ring merged into his flesh and blood.

Like the Jipin storage pouches, they both had invisibility properties.

Crucially, these rings bore no seals—they could be subjugated instantly.

The flying vessel soared over towering mountains, gradually entering a world of white.

In the distance, ten thousand mountains gleamed white.

"Are we there?" He Pingsheng asked Mi Rong.

Mi Rong said: "Almost—another half hour should get us there!"

"Hmm!" He Pingsheng said: "Tell me, what kind of place is this?"

"And who owns the Tianxiang Doukou?"

As he spoke, his vast spiritual sense swept across the surrounding mountains.

Ten thousand zhang—covering nearly sixty li.

Mi Rong said: "The Mi family is a cultivation clan on Mount Tianqiang. Their strength is considerable. Their ancestral elder is a Jin Dan cultivator… I heard he's reached the peak of Jin Dan!"

He Pingsheng's eyes narrowed slightly: "What's your connection to this family?"

Mi Rong lowered her head: "Actually, I'm from this family. I once committed a transgression; the clan lord sentenced me to have my cultivation stripped. I used some tricks to escape."

"So…"

"I didn't lie you—the Mi family on Mount Tianqiang truly has Tianxiang Doukou!"

"Hmm…" He Pingsheng said: "I understand."

He asked more about other aspects of the Mi family.

But none of it helped with obtaining Tianxiang Doukou.

He Pingsheng didn't think it would be difficult.

After all, Tianxiang Doukou was only a second-grade material; requesting it wouldn't necessarily require the clan lord's approval.

Probably any ordinary disciple could decide.

After all, it wasn't a precious item.

Half an hour later, He Pingsheng's flying vessel landed on a snowy mountain.

Mi Rong said: "Senior… I'm a runaway from the Mi family. I can't set foot on their grounds—if caught, I'll be killed."

"I think you should go alone."

"I won't ask for the Holy Wood Shield anymore."

He Pingsheng sneered: "You still want the Holy Wood Shield?"

Pfft…

Green thorny vines sprang from nowhere, instantly binding Mi Rong.

Poisonous thorns pierced her; before she could cry out, she fainted.

Thud…

He Pingsheng casually dumped her into a deep valley, then left with Qiao Huizhu toward the Mi family on the mountain ahead.

As for Mi Rong?

She'd never wake up again.

This woman had to die.

After all, when He Pingsheng killed Bai Shangli, she witnessed it firsthand—such a life-or-death secret could never be allowed to spread.

After searching her storage bag, He Pingsheng left directly.

The Mi family resides on a nearby tall mountain.
