Chapter 564: Eighth Layer of Soul Transformation

"Indeed not bad!"

He He Pingsheng returned the jade box to Golden Rat: "Speak... after going around in such a big circle, what exactly do you want with me?"

Golden Rat put away the jade box with a grin, then looked at He He Pingsheng with a flattering expression: "Senior... this little one just heard the discussion about this Rootless Grass in the spirit teahouse over there, and knew that Senior also needs this thing!"

"So, I want to make a trade with you!"

He He Pingsheng asked: "What trade? Do you have fifth-tier ones?"

"I don't!" Golden Rat said: "But, my master has them... my master is the same as me, also a Treasure-Seeking Rat!"

"He has obtained quite a few fifth-tier Rootless Grass stalks during this period!"

"But... when he was seeking treasure, he accidentally went to the deepest part of the Heavenly Abyss and was injured by the Yin-ghost things inside!"

"Because he is carrying an injury, it is inconvenient for him to come here, fearing that groups of cultivators will take advantage of his misfortune!"

"So, if Senior wants to obtain this Rootless Grass, please take a trip with me; when the time comes, you can meet my master, and then you can discuss the trade!"

"I wonder if that is possible?"

Golden Rat looked at He He Pingsheng.

He He Pingsheng's brow furrowed slightly.

What this fellow said was reasonable, but to run so brazenly onto someone else's territory, if there were a scheme involved...

Hmm...

Forget it!

I'm not afraid of schemes.

This fellow's master couldn't possibly be a Void Refinement stage existence, could he?

If he really were a Void Refinement stage expert, he wouldn't be targeting Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

It's like a great Golden Core targeting a Qi Condensation stage disciple; it's really quite unlikely.

"Senior, rest assured!" Golden Rat said solemnly, a trace of sincerity appearing on his ugly face as he pointed to a large mountain not far away: "My master is not far from here; cross the Chilang Mountain ahead, and that is the temporary cave dwelling where my master is located!"

"Of course, if Senior doesn't want to go, please keep it a secret for me!"

"Fine!" He He Pingsheng nodded: "Lead the way, I'll go meet your master!"

"Hey!" Golden Rat was overjoyed and said: "Senior, follow me!"

The two turned into streams of light, one after the other, heading toward Chilang Mountain.

Although He He Pingsheng was not afraid, some basic preparations still had to be made.

For example, first swallow a few mouthfuls of "Xuanhuang Tian Song Xuanhuang Dew," then communicate with the "Earth Root Talisman" using spiritual sense.

Who knows what kind of person he will encounter?

The two were very fast, and in about half an incense stick of time, they crossed Chilang Mountain and arrived at a higher mountain in front of Chilang Mountain.

The mountain was lush and green, filled with dense forest.

In a valley under a cliff, a cave dwelling was exposed, and outside the cave dwelling, a formation had been erected.

"It's here!" Golden Rat pointed to the formation.

He He Pingsheng took a look; the level of the formation was not high, it was fourth-tier.

The two landed outside the formation.

"Master!" Golden Rat cupped his hands toward the formation and said: "This Senior wants to trade with you, are you free now?"

"Hmm..." The voice of an old man came from inside.

Then the golden formation was opened.

"Come in!" A hoarse voice came from inside.

He He Pingsheng did not enter immediately, but released his spiritual sense to scan slightly.

When he saw that the withered old man inside actually possessed the cultivation of the eighth layer of the Soul Transformation stage, he was quite shocked.

But it was only a moment of shock!

Eighth layer?

I haven't killed one!

But I have killed a twelfth layer one.

Killing this eighth layer one probably won't put any pressure on me.

"Senior!" Golden Rat said: "Please go in, I won't go in!"

"I'll just wait for you outside!"

"Good!" He He Pingsheng nodded, then walked into the formation.

He was bold because of his high skill, he was not afraid!

As for the formation!

This kind of formation, for him, could be broken with a wave of his hand.

He He Pingsheng still maintained a high level of vigilance, walking forward within the formation.

Finally, he entered a mountain cave.

This mountain cave was very large.

It was also very luxurious inside.

He He Pingsheng couldn't help but narrow his eyes: This didn't look like a temporary cave dwelling at all; if it were temporary, who would spend such a high price to make such a luxurious cave dwelling?

But if it were permanent, it didn't make sense either.

In the middle of nowhere, there were no spirit veins here; wouldn't it be crazy to set up a permanent dojo here?

"Please sit!" An old man with white hair and beard, who was not very tall, pointed to an empty seat opposite him.

He He Pingsheng sat down and said: "Long Zhe, pays respects to Senior!"

"No need to be polite!" The old man waved his hand and said: "Actually, my cultivation is only a little higher than yours; I am currently at the twelfth layer of the Nascent Soul stage!"

"You don't need to call me Senior, let's just address each other as peers!"

He He Pingsheng sneered inwardly.

Clearly at the eighth layer of the Soul Transformation stage, what's with pretending to be at the Nascent Soul stage?

Of course, he himself had pretended to be a low-tier disciple; there was no need to judge this behavior, just be careful.

"Very well, fellow Daoist!" He He Pingsheng said: "I heard from your disciple that you have fifth-tier Rootless Grass here?"

"Not bad!" The old man nodded: "We are a Treasure-Seeking Rat family; I found six stalks of 'Rootless Grass' in the Nine Nether Heavenly Abyss back then!"

"Wanting this thing is easy, but I want to see first, what price can you offer?"

"No need to take out spirit stones!"

"I have no interest in spirit stones!"

After speaking, the old man also nudged his chin at He He Pingsheng.

He He Pingsheng thought for a moment!

What should he take out?

This Rootless Grass is a fifth-tier heavenly treasure!

Hmm...

He He Pingsheng wanted to use the "Earth Root Talisman" to trade.

But no rush!

This is his bottom price.

So, he took out a porcelain bottle for the first time.

Inside the porcelain bottle were ten drops of spirit liquid: Xuanhuang Tian Song Xuanhuang Dew.

"Fellow Daoist!" He He Pingsheng said deliberately: "Inside here is fourth-tier spirit liquid, Xuanhuang Tian Song Xuanhuang Dew... just one drop can instantly fill your dantian!"

"Even if your magic power is exhausted, it can be filled!"

"As long as you are at the Nascent Soul stage, you can use it!"

"At critical moments, especially when fighting others, this drop of Xuanhuang Tian Song Xuanhuang Dew is a life!"

"I have ten drops here!"

"See if this works?"

You are pretending to be Nascent Soul, right?

I'll see what you say.

"Hehehe..." The old man was very cunning and said: "Fellow Daoist, this thing is excellent, but in terms of tier, this is fourth-tier!"

"My treasure, however, is fifth-tier!"

"Fine!" He He Pingsheng was just teasing this Soul Transformation expert; at this moment, he finally took out his trump card.

A talisman: Earth Root Talisman.

"This is the Earth Root Talisman... a fifth-tier talisman!"

"And it's the top-tier among fifth-tier talismans!"

"Once activated, it possesses incomparable defensive power!"

"Within one hour, even a master at the twelfth layer of the Soul Transformation stage cannot break this talisman!"

"Fellow Daoist, take a look!" ===== CHAPTER 565 =====
