Chapter 621: Trading with Ghosts

Rumbling...

The surrounding Yin evil energy was sucked away.

A thousand-zhang Ghost King body condensed in front of He Pingsheng.

At this very moment, He Pingsheng held the talisman in his left hand and a black divine spear in his right hand, which was the Sky-Deficiency Divine Spear.

"Fellow Daoist, you must keep your promise!"

After the Ghost King condensed his body, he lowered his head, and the scarlet fire in his eyes jumped continuously, as if staring at He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng said: "Don't worry... I am not a person who loves to kill. As long as you agree to my request, I will not only not hurt you, but also give you a good thing!"

"Good thing?" Ghost King: "What thing?"

He Pingsheng said: "Don't worry about what thing first!"

"I have two points!"

"First, help me feed moves, let's see how powerful my full-strength shot is?"

"No no no..." Before He Pingsheng finished speaking, the Ghost King was so scared that he waved his hands and shouted: "Fellow Daoist, don't, when you were Soul Transformation first layer, I couldn't take that blow, now you are Soul Transformation sixth layer, if you use full strength, I will definitely die!"

"Please, don't do this!"

"How is this different from killing me?"

He Pingsheng thought for a while and nodded: "That's true, forget it, I won't ask you to feed moves!"

He estimated that if he used that 【Ten Thousand Extinctions Return to Origin】 shot now, this Void Refinement Stage Ghost King would probably die.

But if this shot was against a real Void Refinement Stage human or demon race, it probably still wouldn't be enough.

"Phew..." The Ghost King breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Fellow Daoist... what do you need?"

He Pingsheng said: "To tell you the truth, our purpose in coming here is for that Dragon Scale Immortal Wood!"

"Last time I saw you fuse this wood into your body!"

"Can you give me two sections?" 【621-2

"This..." The Ghost King's expression turned bitter, and he said, "For so many years, this Dragon-Scale Wood has been picked away by you itinerant cultivators, and there are basically very few left. That's right, the few that remain today have all been fused into my own body!"

"But... this thing has already fused into a part of my body and turned into my bones; it is not easy to take it out!"

He Pingsheng smiled, waved his hand, and tossed out a pill bottle: "Look... can this item be exchanged for two of your ribs?"

The Ghost King took the porcelain bottle, opened it, and took a look, saying with slight shock: "This... what kind of pill is this?"

He Pingsheng said: "Saint Origin Pill, and it's top-tier!"

"After swallowing one, it can increase a Void Refinement stage cultivator's lifespan by a thousand years!"

"It should be useful to you as well!"

"What?" The Ghost King was suddenly shocked: "You... are you telling the truth?"

"I don't recognize pills, nor do I recognize quality, you must not lie to me!"

He Pingsheng said: "I will not lie to you, swallow it first and try."

"Alright!" The Ghost King swallowed the pill directly.

The next moment, the two flames in his eye sockets jumped violently a few times, and he said in shock: "It's actually true?"

"Great, I really have increased my lifespan by a thousand years... Hahahaha..."

"Great, great... Fellow Daoist, can you give me some more of this pill?"

He looked at He Pingsheng with a look of longing.

He Pingsheng shook his head: "Heavenly treasures that increase lifespan are rare treasures and are all bound by the rules of 'a single encounter,' meaning that swallowing one is useful, but swallowing a second, third, or fourth one has no effect at all!"

The Ghost King felt a sense of loss and said: "Forget it, forget it, a thousand years is enough!"

"Many thanks, Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment!"

The Ghost King took two bones from his own body and presented them to He Pingsheng.

The bones were large and did not look like human bones; they were pitch black all over, and black light flickered on them.

On that black surface, there were patterns like dragon scales.

This thing was the Dragon-Scale Immortal Wood.

The main material for refining a Substitute Puppet.

The two bones in his hand were enough for He Pingsheng to refine two puppets.

If he strengthened them, that would be four.

"Ghost King... I have one more question I'd like to ask!" He Pingsheng said: "Legend has it that these bones are the bones of the Nether Empress, but they don't look like it to me. Do you know whose bones this Dragon-Scale Immortal Wood turned into?"

The Ghost King said: "These should be the bones of the Nether Empress's enemy; I don't know the specifics either!"

An enemy?

Could it be that the Nether Empress had even killed a Mahayana-stage Demon Emperor?

Is she that strong?

The Ghost King looked at He Pingsheng and continued: "After I was born, I never saw the Nether Empress; I only grew up in her small world!"

"I am only eight thousand years old!"

"The Nether Empress probably ascended who knows how many tens of thousands of years ago!"

He Pingsheng nodded: "Thanks!"

He had no other questions, so he turned directly into a stream of light and left the abyss.

Half a day later, he returned to Qiao Huizhu's side.

Next, wait!

"Fellow Daoist Long Zhe..." As soon as He Pingsheng returned, Crown Prince Chongming walked over, his face full of smiles: "Could I ask you to help me refine a batch of pills?"

"Look!" He gave the materials to He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng took a look; it was the fire-attribute 【Dao-Gathering Pill】.

And it was fifth-tier.

However, there was only one batch of materials.

"Fellow Daoist Long Zhe, can you refine top-tier ones..." This kid was quite greedy; he asked for top-tier right away.

He Pingsheng smiled: "Top-tier... that shouldn't be a big problem; my cultivation base has improved, and my spiritual sense strength is higher now. However... according to the rules of the Spirit Realm, it should be five portions of materials to give you one portion of pills... how do you expect me to manage with just one portion of materials?"

Crown Prince Chongming said: "After this thing is refined, I only want three top-tier pills... the rest all belong to you!"

"Is that okay?"

After the source of Dao law is refined into pills, if they are top-tier, this one top-tier 【Dao-Gathering Pill】 is equivalent to the Dao law content in the original source.

Swallowing the pill makes breaking through Dao barriers faster.

It can save a lot of time.

Although he only wanted three top-tier pills, it was still very cost-effective for Crown Prince Chongming.

He Pingsheng thought for a moment and said: "Alright... wait for me a few days!"

After speaking, He Pingsheng took the items and walked into the 【Dual God Array】.

The first step, strengthen the materials.

One portion of materials was strengthened by He Pingsheng into two.

Then, refine the pills!

The first batch... failed pills!

Didn't succeed?

This surprised He Pingsheng a little.

But it didn't matter!

Failed pills can also be strengthened, right?

Continue, second batch.

The second batch was successfully refined by He Pingsheng.

Two high-tier, ten mid-tier.

Afterwards, these twenty-four pills were placed by He Pingsheng into the Treasure-Gathering Basin and directly strengthened into forty-eight top-tier ones.

Top-tier fifth-tier 【Dao-Gathering Pill】.

Three days later, He Pingsheng walked out of the array and sent a pill bottle into Crown Prince Chongming's hand: "Hehe... Crown Prince Chongming, I have not failed your commission!"
