Chapter 379: Absolute Wisdom

He Pingsheng walked to the counter in front.

Xiaohe was startled: "Master, are you a zombie... how come you came out of seclusion so silently?"

He Pingsheng frowned: "You..."

"You're already Golden Core?"

"When did you form the core?"

"And didn't tell me?"

He Pingsheng's brain wasn't enough.

He usually neglected his concern for his disciples, but wasn't Xiaohe just at the Qi Condensation stage?

How come she became Golden Core in a flash?

Unreasonable!

He Pingsheng hurriedly turned his brain: he had been in seclusion a bit too much recently; counting from the end of the Five Dragon Gully Mystic Realm, he had been in seclusion three times, totaling twenty-five years.

"Master... do you know how old I am?" Xiaohe looked at He Pingsheng with a dissatisfied pout.

He Pingsheng frowned: "How old? You wait... Master will calculate..."

"Don't calculate!" Xiaohe said: "The year you cured my illness, I was seventeen; from that year until now, forty years have passed, and your precious disciple is three years away from being sixty!"

"I am a single-spirit-root cultivator, gifted, and have so many elixirs given by you, Master; is it not normal to achieve Golden Core?"

Being rebuked by his disciple, He Pingsheng looked bitter: "Normal, normal..."

The context of Xiaohe's breakthrough also became clear in He Pingsheng's mind.

After the Five Dragon Gully Mystic Realm ended, he obtained two 【Blood Jade Purple Skin Dates】, one of which he swallowed himself, and the other was strengthened into two, one given to Xiaohe, and the other to Old Cheng.

It's not strange that Xiaohe broke through to Golden Core.

It's just... disciple at the first layer of Golden Core, Master at the fifth layer of Golden Core, it feels a bit weird.

"Where did you undergo the tribulation?" He Pingsheng asked with concern: "What tier of Heavenly Tribulation was it?"

Xiaohe said: "Last year, I ran to a remote forest outside the city to undergo the tribulation, um... it was the Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation... woo woo woo... Master didn't give me any defensive treasures; your precious disciple was almost split into a ghost by the heavenly thunder, but luckily I had one breath left and didn't die, and later was strengthened by the falling Creation Golden Light, only then did I pick up a life!"

He Pingsheng looked guilty: "Xiaohe, Master let you down..."

"Don't worry, there will definitely not be a next time... next time when you undergo the Nascent Soul tribulation, tell Master in advance, I guarantee I will gather all the defensive things for you!"

"Wait a moment, Master will give you something now!"

He Pingsheng waved his hand and took out the Fire Origin Reflecting Blood Armor: "This is a fire-attribute defensive top-tier magic treasure, possessing twelve layers of restrictions; I have wiped out my spiritual sense, you take it and refine it!"

"And this, Nine Radiance Dragon-Slaying Flag, although it is only a top-tier spirit artifact, you can also use it for a period of time!"

"Soul-Extinguishing Bell is also given!"

He Pingsheng stuffed three treasures to his disciple in one go: Fire Origin Reflecting Blood Armor, Soul-Extinguishing Bell, and Nine Radiance Dragon-Slaying Flag.

These things were very precious, but for He Pingsheng, they were already dispensable.

First, he had the 【Seven-Buckle Sharp Metal Armor】, so the Fire Origin Reflecting Blood Armor could be discarded; secondly, he had the supernatural power 【Faceless Big Dipper Nail】, so the Soul-Extinguishing Bell was also not needed; finally, with the Heaven-Defying Divine Spear, the Nine Radiance Dragon-Slaying Flag was also unnecessary.

All given to the disciple.

Xiaohe then pouted: "This is more like it!"

"Hehehe..." He Pingsheng laughed: "Practice well..."

Xiaohe stretched out her jade hand toward him.

He Pingsheng asked: "What do you want again?"

Xiaohe said: "Cultivation technique is gone!"

Xiaohe's fire-attribute cultivation technique only went up to the 【Foundation Establishment Chapter】, and there was no Golden Core Chapter at all.

He Pingsheng hurriedly took out the Golden Core Chapter and Nascent Soul Chapter and gave them to Xiaohe.

Now he didn't need this Five Elements cultivation technique either.

He Pingsheng practiced the 【Five Elements Mixed One Heavenly Scripture】.

"By the way..." After the items were given, He Pingsheng asked again: "Is your grandfather back?"

He sent Old Cheng out to inquire about the situation in Dingxiang Commandery, and he hadn't seen this old man until now.

"No!" Xiaohe shook her head: "No news yet... but he should be in no danger; I go to see every day, his life token is intact!"

He Pingsheng said: "That's good; if Old Cheng completes the mission, he will certainly return the first time!"

"Oh, by the way..." Xiaohe said: "Master, that Elder Ling Zhiwang from the commercial chamber next door came to look for you several times, but because you were in seclusion, I sent him away!"

"This guy has also broken through to the Golden Core realm!"

Xiaohe added another sentence.

"Elder Ling Zhiwang is still not bad; he has helped me many times!" He Pingsheng said: "You go call him over; perhaps he has something to look for me!"

After an incense stick of time, Elder Ling Zhiwang followed Xiaohe to He Pingsheng.

"Congratulations, Daoist Ling!" He Pingsheng said with a smile: "You are also a Golden Core great cultivator now..."

"Sigh..."

Elder Ling Zhiwang's face was uglier than a butt: "Daoist He, don't mention it... I'm absolutely... absolutely wise!"

"What?"

He Pingsheng was shocked: "Absolutely wise?"

This news really shocked He Pingsheng.

What does absolutely wise mean?

It means the immortal path of the Great Dao is severed.

This is different from a bottleneck; after reaching a bottleneck, although practice and eating elixirs have no effect, as long as you get that specific immortal fruit, you can still break through the bottleneck.

But absolutely wise means, eating anything is useless.

There is only one path: wait for death.

Wait for the lifespan to be exhausted.

Of course, in this world, ninety-nine percent of cultivators will eventually reach the moment of their absolute wisdom.

It's just that some people's absolute wisdom comes early, and some people's comes late.

Like Elder Ling Zhiwang, reaching absolute wisdom at the Golden Core stage, he is actually considered a lucky one.

At worst, he still has five hundred years of natural lifespan to enjoy.

And some people reach absolute wisdom at the Qi Condensation stage!

"Daoist friend, what are your plans for the future?" He Pingsheng asked.

Elder Ling Zhiwang said: "No plans; anyway, I don't plan to practice immortality... return to my hometown, buy land and houses, beautiful wives and concubines, and multiply descendants!"

"That's all!"

"Daoist He!" Elder Ling Zhiwang took out a storage bag: "These are some properties I've accumulated over the years; although there are no treasures, there are quite a few spirit stones!"

"I heard you have that 【Ice Origin Jiazi Dew】, which can increase a person's lifespan by sixty years!"

"I want to buy a drop, do you think it's okay?"

"Hehe!" He Pingsheng smiled: "Everything is negotiable, Daoist Ling. If you are interested, please come to my dojo to talk!"

"I guarantee you will be satisfied!"

"Good..."

Elder Ling Zhiwang followed He Pingsheng to the small hut behind the elixir shop.

The two sat down as host and guest.

He Pingsheng said: "Actually, I have better things!"

"Take a look!"

He Pingsheng waved his hand and took out a drop of Ice Origin Divine Dew, throwing it into the void in front of Elder Ling Zhiwang. ===== CHAPTER 380 =====
