Chapter 632: Daoist Brother Gu Song

"I didn't expect Fellow Daoist... oh no no no... it's Senior!"

"I didn't expect Senior to have such an opportunity?"

The elder sighed: This guy went later than others, how did he get such a big opportunity?

If he hadn't gotten a big opportunity, how could he have broken through to the sixth layer of the Soul Transformation Stage in less than a hundred years?

Amazing!

"Hehehe..." He Pingsheng smiled without saying a word.

The elder said: "I don't know what your needs are for coming here this time?"

He Pingsheng said: "I want to buy some materials, of course, the higher the level, the better!"

"This is my material list!"

He Pingsheng gave a jade slip to the old man.

The old man held it to his forehead and looked at it, then hurriedly said: "Please wait a moment, I don't have the authority for some of the items in here, I ask Fellow Daoist to come with me and sit for a while, I will arrange for a higher-level elder to contact you immediately!"

He Pingsheng said: "Fine!"

Chambers of commerce, especially large ones like the Holy Fire Chamber of Commerce, had many items.

Ninety percent of them were materials used by Golden Core and Foundation Establishment cultivators, but high-level materials were not absent; they were just hidden deep in the chamber of commerce, and ordinary customers couldn't touch them.

Unless the cultivation base was high enough.

The value of these things was generally floating, and they were all traded by 【barter】, not accepting spirit stones.

Therefore, ordinary chamber of commerce elders couldn't handle this; it required an elder with sufficient strength.

Because he needed the strength, eye for detail, experience, etc., to bargain with the other party.

Before long, a middle-aged cultivator walked into the room where He Pingsheng was resting.

The middle-aged cultivator's cultivation was even higher than He Pingsheng's, already at the ninth layer of the Soul Transformation Stage.

"Fellow Daoist... hehehehe... sorry for keeping you waiting!" The middle-aged cultivator greeted him with a smile while sitting down: "This poor Daoist is the Third Elder of this Holy Fire Chamber of Commerce, responsible for your shopping this time!"

"These are the things you need, please take a look!"

A storage bag was sent over and placed in front of He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng took a look and then said: "It seems one is missing!"

"Hehehe..." The Third Elder said with a smile: "That's right, one is indeed missing. We really don't have this 【Fire-Shining Tiger Blood Stone】 you need!"

"We have the rest!"

He Pingsheng's brows furrowed.

He came here this time to purchase materials for refining the 【Substitute Puppet】.

He had the Dragon Scale Immortal Wood, but the other auxiliary materials were still needed.

In order not to let people discover the details, He Pingsheng even specifically mixed in some other materials to buy, and he split the sixteen materials for refining the Substitute Puppet into three parts, buying only a few of them at each chamber of commerce.

In this way, no one would discover the clues.

And the Fire-Shining Tiger Blood Stone was a key material in the Substitute Puppet, and an irreplaceable one at that.

This thing wasn't very precious, but it was extremely rare.

"Fine..." He Pingsheng said: "Many thanks!"

"No problem!" The Third Elder waved his hand: "Our chamber of commerce doesn't have this thing, but I do know where it might appear. How about this... you go and take a look at the other large chambers of commerce in this Imperial City. If you happen to run into it, you can buy it; if you don't run into it, come back and find me, and I'll give you a message!"

"Fine!" He Pingsheng nodded and then had a trade with the Third Elder.

Walking out of the Holy Fire Chamber of Commerce, he went to the other chambers of commerce.

There wasn't just one chamber of commerce in the Imperial City, but over a dozen.

He Pingsheng strolled slowly, buying a portion of the materials at every chamber of commerce he arrived at. After walking through seven chambers of commerce, the materials were collected.

Hmm... except for that Fire-Shining Tiger Blood Stone.

After walking through over a dozen chambers of commerce and strolling through all the chambers of commerce in the Imperial City, He Pingsheng didn't buy the Fire-Shining Tiger Blood Stone.

This was troublesome.

The Fire-Shining Tiger Blood Stone was very critical; it couldn't be replaced by other materials.

"Forget it, forget it..." He Pingsheng didn't want to return to the Holy Fire Chamber of Commerce, but since he didn't get this stone after a round, he had no choice but to go back.

As for whether the Third Elder had other intentions, He Pingsheng wouldn't care for now.

Let's see what he has to say first.

"Hehehe... Fellow Daoist, please sit!" Seeing He Pingsheng return, the Third Elder introduced him to a new private room with a smile and served spirit tea: "Your pills are very good; I have already reported them, and it has been decided to put them into our chamber of commerce's auction!"

The pills he spoke of referred to the two fifth-tier Gathering Dao Pills He Pingsheng gave him during the trade, and the quality was top-tier.

"Did you buy the Fire-Shining Tiger Blood Stone?"

"No!" He Pingsheng shook his head: "I still have to ask for your advice, Third Elder!"

"Hmm!" The Third Elder nodded: "The reason I said there is a place that has it is because I received news that 【Master Brother Gu Song】 on Brother Gu Song Mountain outside the city is going to hold a small-scale trading assembly in the refining circle, and the items traded are mainly various refining materials!"

"This Fire-Shining Tiger Blood Stone you need is also a kind of refining material, so go to that trading assembly and take a look; perhaps you can obtain this thing!"

Having said this, He Pingsheng understood.

"Then..." He asked the Third Elder: "May I ask, Fellow Daoist, what is Master Brother Gu Song like? What is his cultivation base?"

"Cultivation base!" The Third Elder thought for a while and said: "Peak of the Soul Transformation Stage, eleventh or twelfth layer, he should be stuck at that bottleneck now!"

Hearing this cultivation base, He Pingsheng breathed a sigh of relief: As long as it wasn't the Void Refinement Stage, it was fine.

If it were really the Void Refinement Stage, He Pingsheng would have just given up.

"As for his character?" The Third Elder shook his head: "Master Brother Gu Song, his refining technique is supreme; he is a true master who can refine low-tier 【Ancient Treasures】. Perhaps it is because he has true skills, but this person is extremely arrogant, and he has many magic treasures in his hands, and his combat power is also extremely fierce, so under normal circumstances... hmm... how should I put it!"

"It's very difficult for you to reason with him; he is very overbearing!"

"I won't hide it from you, Fellow Daoist, I'm just telling the truth; whether you want to go or not, you decide for yourself!"

After the Third Elder finished speaking, he took a sip of spirit tea and left it for He Pingsheng to decide.

He Pingsheng wasn't afraid of those overbearing people, smiled, and said: "Then... how can I enter their trading assembly?"

"This is simple!" The Third Elder said: "Some time ago, Master Brother Gu Song also sent a token to our chamber of commerce!"

"Our chamber of commerce originally didn't want to participate, but he has commercial interests with our chamber of commerce, so it wouldn't be very good to refuse directly. If you are willing, Fellow Daoist, you can represent our chamber of commerce and go!"

He Pingsheng asked: "May I ask, Fellow Daoist, are there any Void Refinement seniors participating in this trading assembly?"

"There are not!" The Third Elder shook his head: "That Brother Gu Song is extremely overbearing; he wouldn't invite Void Refinement cultivators to suppress himself. Don't worry."
