Chapter 257: Heaven-Class Cultivation Technique

"Everyone, let me introduce you!"

Ling Zhiwang first looked at He Pingsheng and said, "This is my good friend Xu Kunlun!"

Xu Daozhi is at the Foundation Establishment tenth layer, but don't be fooled by his cultivation level—he's a true third-rank array master!

At these words, the four instantly showed expressions of shock.

All four bowed to He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng returned each bow politely.

Also, Xu Daozhi is a pill alchemist—his pill shop is about to open. If you need elixirs in the future, go straight to him!

By the way, Xu Daozhi, don't set your prices too high!

"Relax!" He Pingsheng said. "They'll be lower than the Jiaoyi Society's. And if you come personally, I'll give you all a ten percent discount on Ling Changlao's behalf!"

"Thank you, thank you!"

"Thank you!"

Everyone warmly bowed to He Pingsheng in gratitude.

"Alright!" Ling Zhiwang continued. "This is Baiyun Xianzi, Foundation Establishment third layer."

"This is Bainei Xianzi, Foundation Establishment ninth layer—they're sisters, hehe…"

He Pingsheng hadn't noticed they were sisters.

"This is Lin Zifang!"

"Lin Zifang is from the Lin family, whose territory lies right here in Hongshi City—don't underestimate their strength!"

"It's said the Lin family has a Nascent Soul elder!"

Hearing this, even He Pingsheng was slightly startled.

It wasn't strange for a city to have a sect—he'd once seen a sect auctioned off in Dingxiang City.

But a family with a Nascent Soul elder? That was extraordinary.

This is Mingxuan Daozhi—he's from a renowned sect, a core disciple of Tianxiang Valley, famous beyond Hongshi City!

Ling Zhiwang introduced all of them in one breath.

"Alright!" Ling Zhiwang said. "Now that introductions are done, don't hold back—bring out whatever treasures you have!"

"To show hospitality, I'll go first."

As he spoke, Ling Zhiwang pulled out a black dagger the size of a palm. "This is the Shuiqing Sword—seven sealing layers, a high-grade magic treasure, rare and hard to come by!"

"Perfect for water-attribute cultivators!"

He tossed it onto the table. "Bring equivalent treasures to trade—no spirit stones accepted!"

No one here accepted spirit stones.

After all, if you wanted spirit stones, wouldn't it be better to sell directly to the Jiaoyi Society?

"I have a batch of second-rank Zhuyan Pills for Foundation Establishment disciples to consume—if anyone's interested, take them!"

"Twelve pills total, low quality."

Bainei waved her hand and produced a pill vial.

Zhuyan Pills?

He Pingsheng knew what these were.

They preserved one's appearance indefinitely.

For example, second-rank Zhuyan Pills suit Foundation Establishment cultivators perfectly.

Most Foundation Establishment cultivators never reach Golden Core, and as time passes, aging becomes a serious issue.

Especially for female cultivators.

With one Zhuyan Pill, they can reverse aging and regain their youthful beauty.

"This is good!" He Pingsheng said. "Bainei Daozhi, I have a drop of spirit fluid—swallowing it instantly refills a depleted dantian. Would you trade this vial for it?"

His pill shop was opening soon—he needed some Zhuyan Pills to stock it.

After all, Zhuyan Pills' ingredients were hard to gather.

Of course, for He Pingsheng now, this 【Jinfeng Shengjiang】 had become somewhat useless.

He was close to Golden Core.

Already at Foundation Establishment tenth layer.

Once he reached Golden Core, a single drop of Jinfeng Shengjiang wouldn't refill his dantian anymore.

He'd need a whole mouthful.

That'd be pointless!

Bainei glanced at He Pingsheng's Jinfeng Shengjiang. "Good item, but one drop is too little."

He Pingsheng said, "I'll add two Jipin Ice Arrow Talismans—though first-rank, they're Jipin, capable of killing a Qi Refining cultivator in one strike. Perfect for disciples' survival."

He still had many unused enhanced first-rank talismans—he no longer needed them.

Perfect to trade away.

"Good!" Bainei said. "Alright, deal!"

They completed the trade.

Next, He Pingsheng pulled out a small shield. "Ladies and gentlemen, this is my 【Shengmu Shield】—eight sealing layers, a Jipin defensive magic treasure!"

"If you want it, make an offer."

"I don't have anything I particularly want."

In short: bring out your treasures—I'll trade if I like them, otherwise, forget it.

The group exploded.

Magic treasure!

Jipin!

And worst of all—it was a defensive one.

This…

Even Golden Core cultivators mostly used items like this, right?

"Xu Daozhi, I have… I have something good, take a look!"

"Xu Daozhi, I have…"

In an instant, all five before him made offers.

He Pingsheng looked them over, then shook his head. "Sorry—I don't want any of these. Frankly, their value is nowhere near sufficient."

Each of them looked bitter.

Correct—they had no comparable treasures.

Beside them, Ling Zhiwang gave Lin Zifang a glance.

Lin Zifang took a deep breath. "Xu Daozhi, Ling Daozhi told me you're an extraordinary array master!"

"Funny enough, my Lin family has a family-secret array scripture!"

"Take a look—if you're interested, make me an offer."

Pah…

A jade slip landed before He Pingsheng.

His heart surged—he picked it up and swept his spiritual sense into it.

One glance confirmed it: the array techniques went up to fifth rank.

Fifth-rank arrays!

What did that mean?

They could defend against Soul Transformation cultivators.

And wasn't Soul Transformation the highest realm on this continent?

"It's only the first half!" He Pingsheng set the jade slip down.

Lin Zifang said, "Don't worry—the second half exists."

He pulled out another jade slip. "Make your offer first."

"Alright…" He Pingsheng frowned, thinking: what could he trade?

Lin Zifang said, "I want your Jipin magic treasure—but one won't be enough!"

"You must add something else."

Jipin magic treasure?

Joke!

He Pingsheng knew perfectly well one wouldn't suffice.

Not even ten could buy such a powerful array scripture.

But…

What could he offer?

Got it…

He Pingsheng smiled. "I have a complete version of a Heaven-Class cultivation technique!"
