Chapter 66: Final Preparations

The four people knelt on the teleportation square.

The scorching sun was overhead, dazzling and blinding, making it almost impossible for anyone to lift their heads.

The handyman disciples and outer sect disciples on Xiuzhu Peak naturally dared not watch here, but the inner sect disciples coming and going all started to giggle.

Especially the disciples under Yude of Hongde Garden.

"Yo!" Linglong, dressed in pink clothes, held a sword and stood smiling in front of the four people, saying: "What mistake did you commit to be sent here for reflection?"

"He Pingsheng, didn't you kill someone?"

He Pingsheng ignored her.

Linglong didn't care either; she just stayed on the side, mocking them with a sentence here and a sentence there.

Fortunately, this situation didn't last long.

Master Yu Ning had originally punished the four of them to reflect for seven days, but only half an hour had passed before her heart softened, and she sent her eldest disciple, Hou Muxian, here.

"Junior brothers and sisters, get up quickly!" Hou Muxian looked at the four of them indifferently and said: "Master said, this time your seven days of reflection are waived; if there is a next time, you will be directly expelled from the sect!"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

He Pingsheng and the other three slowly stood up, looked at each other, and quickly left the teleportation square, heading toward their respective residences.

The first thing He Pingsheng did when he got home was to hang up the sign that said 【In Closed-Door Cultivation】 at the door, then opened the array and walked inside.

He had never taken such a small matter as being punished by his Master to heart.

What was such a small grievance?

Compared to the vengeance for his parents, it was simply insignificant.

He Pingsheng sat cross-legged on the ground, first calming down for the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, letting all the negative emotions in his body dissipate, and then he opened his eyes.

There was less than a month left before this Mystic Realm would open.

The preparations were already mostly done.

However, he still needed to do a final consolidation.

His cultivation base could no longer be improved, remaining at the seventh layer of Qi Refining.

For spells he wasn't proficient in, or hadn't practiced, he could take this opportunity to continue practicing them.

Then, there were the various treasures.

Especially the talismans he bought from the Matou Mountain market this time; they needed to be properly strengthened.

He Pingsheng took out all the talismans.

There weren't many, six in total.

Ice Needle Talisman: two!

Lightning Talisman: two!

Earth Shield Talisman: two!

Disguise Talisman: one!

He Pingsheng didn't say a word and threw all the talismans into the Treasure Gathering Basin.

Then, he started to familiarize himself with various spells.

First, take stock of the spells.

Two Metal-attribute spells: Huang Jinlishi, Jin Gang Shield.

Wood-attribute spell: None!

One Water-attribute spell: Ren Water Evasion Technique.

Two Fire-attribute spells: Fire Crow Technique, Fire Shield Technique.

One Earth-attribute spell: Earth Armor Technique.

There were six spells in total, two of which were offensive: Huang Jinlishi and Fire Crow Technique.

He had learned both of these.

Three defensive ones: Jin Gang Shield, Fire Shield Technique, Earth Armor Technique.

Only the Jin Gang Shield hadn't been learned.

Of course, He Pingsheng felt there was no need to learn it either.

With the Earth Armor Technique and Fire Shield Technique, it was enough.

One escape spell: Ren Water Evasion Technique.

Hmm...

This one needed to be learned.

For the next period of time, He Pingsheng kept practicing this 【Ren Water Evasion Technique】.

After more than ten days, he had mastered this spell.

Only after becoming proficient did he realize the power of this spell.

Simply put, in places with water, one could hide in the water and quickly escape.

The speed of traveling in water was extremely fast, almost no different from sprinting on land.

Another point was that one could become invisible.

Hiding in the water.

Unless the opponent's divine sense was strong enough, they wouldn't be able to discover it at all.

It was just that heaven-defying.

During this time, He Pingsheng not only mastered the Ren Water Evasion Technique, but the talismans were also strengthened one by one.

Ice Needle Talisman was strengthened into the Ice Arrow Talisman.

Lightning Talisman was strengthened into the 【Heavenly Lei Fu】.

Earth Shield Talisman was strengthened into the 【Stubborn Stone Talisman】.

Disguise Talisman remained a Disguise Talisman after strengthening.

However, the quality of the Disguise Talisman had improved after strengthening.

Before strengthening, according to that beautiful woman, this Disguise Talisman could be used three times, each time lasting only two hours, and could deceive disciples at the twelfth layer of Qi Refining.

After strengthening, the talismans became two, each of which could be reused twelve times, and the duration of each time became one day.

As for whether it could deceive Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, He Pingsheng didn't know.

But he knew it would definitely be an improvement.

Simply summarize, the talismans he could use on his body now were:

Ice Arrow Talisman: seven.

Fire Bomb Talisman: three.

Heavenly Lei Fu: four.

Stubborn Stone Talisman: four.

Disguise Talisman: two.

As for magic treasures, those He Pingsheng had refined were: one top-tier flying sword, one top-tier magic treasure Green Wood Shield, one set of top-tier confinement arrays, and one top-tier magic treasure 【Cloud Piercing Boat】.

Adding all these things together, he wouldn't say he was armed to the teeth, but it was enough for He Pingsheng to use.

Other materials were put into the storage bag, and these magic tools and talismans that needed to be used at any time were put into another storage bag for easy access.

After doing this, He Pingsheng opened the door and walked out.

There were only seven days left before the Mystic Realm opened.

"Junior brother, you've finished your closed-door cultivation?"

Just after leaving the door, he saw the sixth senior sister, Zhao Linger, running over from afar: "Quick, quick, quick... Master is asking me to find you, hurry up and go to Master's arena for a meeting!"

He Pingsheng dared not delay and hurriedly followed Zhao Linger in a rush to Master Yu Ninggong.

He found a meditation cushion and sat down.

On the stone lotus platform sat a Daoist nun who looked to be about fifty years old; she was Master Yu Ning.

Seeing the disciples arriving one by one, a smile appeared on Yu Ning's face, and she said: "Well done, this time all nine disciples of our Master Yu Ninggong have the qualifications to enter the Mystic Realm!"

Eldest Wang Shixiong Hou Muxian cupped his hands and said: "It is all thanks to Master's excellent teaching!"

The other disciples, including He Pingsheng, also cupped their hands and flattered: "Master's teaching is excellent!"

"Hehehe..." Yu Ning smiled and said: "Stop flattering me. There are seven days left until the day the Mystic Realm opens, and the sect has decided that we should go there in advance; we will set off in a group this afternoon!"

"There are a few key points in this that I need to make clear to you!"

"First, all inner sect disciples of our Tai Xu Men must wear moon-white sect robes to facilitate quick identification by fellow disciples!"

"Second, I don't care about other disciples, but for my disciples, you had better travel together."

"Hou Muxian, you are the eldest senior brother, I leave this team to you to lead!"

"Master!" Hou Muxian's face immediately turned bitter, and he said: "My cultivation base has been stuck at a bottleneck for thirteen years, and this time I finally waited for the Mystic Realm to open, so I was preparing to take a risk and head to the core area to see if I could obtain the 【Water Origin Spirit Apricot】 to break through the bottleneck. If I take them with me..."

While speaking, Hou Muxian looked at He Pingsheng and the others, his face full of a desire to survive. ===== CHAPTER 67 =====
