Chapter 69: Copper Skin and Golden Bone Scripture

"Did you see those eighteen Foundation Establishment stage disciples in the back?"

Zhao Linger pursed her lips toward the eighteen golden-clothed people.

He Pingsheng's gaze looked toward the back of the square again.

Eighteen disciples wearing golden Daoist robes, each of them was at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Of course, He Pingsheng couldn't see their cultivation base, he just couldn't see through them, so he guessed it was the Foundation Establishment stage.

Now that Zhao Linger said it herself, he was finally certain.

"I see..." He Pingsheng nodded: "What's wrong, Qiao Shijie?"

"Nothing!" Zhao Linger said: "These eighteen people come from eighteen different sects, guarding this entrance together!"

"If an individual sect wanted to enter in advance, it would be impossible!"

He Pingsheng was immediately shocked and said: "Isn't it opened once every thirty years? Can it be entered at ordinary times?"

"Junior brother, you are naive!" Zhao Linger smiled, then pulled him over and whispered: "To put it bluntly, this so-called Mystic Realm, isn't it artificially created?"

"It's just that within a radius of a thousand miles here, there are many spiritual veins exposed, so senior experts used great magic power and large arrays to seal this place!"

"And this large array is not opened only once every thirty years, but can be opened at any time!"

"It's just for the exploration of various sects that the opening day is artificially set to thirty years!"

"If there were no guards, wouldn't some sect expert be able to secretly open the array and send their descendants in? Then there would be no fairness to speak of in the Mystic Realm of the Dao Xuan Alliance!"

"So, to ensure fairness and justice, eighteen Foundation Establishment stage disciples were placed here to guard it!"

"And these eighteen Foundation Establishment stage disciples come from eighteen different sects!"

"I heard from Master that there is even a senior uncle from our Tai Xu Men guarding here, but I can't recognize which one is the senior uncle!"

He Pingsheng nodded.

Now, he finally understood what this so-called Mystic Realm was.

"Junior brother, senior sister!" The fat Eighth Senior Brother Xu Kunlun ran over and said with a smile: "Look, there are people setting up stalls over there, should we go over and take a look?"

He Pingsheng raised his eyes and indeed saw some cultivators setting up stalls at the edge of this huge square.

This was not strange.

Because those who came this time were all Qi Refining stage disciples from major sects and families, everyone was at the same level, so it was more convenient to exchange what they had.

Someone set up a stall, and instantly quite a few people were attracted over.

Then more people started setting up stalls.

"Let's go... let's go take a look..." He Pingsheng hadn't set off yet when he saw Hou Muxian had already walked over.

So He Pingsheng also hurriedly walked over.

If he saw something good, wouldn't he be able to get it first if he arrived early?

He Pingsheng walked to the front of the stall and took a look; the things sold by these Qi Refining stage disciples were mostly the same.

Elixirs!

Mainly Golden Bone Pills!

At this time, no one would buy things like Spirit Gathering Pills.

Because Spirit Gathering Pills are for cultivation, who would come to the Mystic Realm to cultivate?

Golden Bone Pills are different; if you happen to get injured in the Mystic Realm, swallowing this thing would have great benefits.

Besides elixirs, there were talismans.

And some people were selling all kinds of strange things.

He Pingsheng was not lacking in talismans and elixirs.

Right now, he had fourteen offensive talismans on him, and they were the strengthened kind.

One strike could kill any disciple at the Qi Refining stage.

As for Golden Bone Pills, there was even less need; He Pingsheng had two bottles of twenty-four top-tier Golden Bone Pills on him.

He also had some ordinary mid-tier and low-tier ones.

It was enough.

However, he encountered an acquaintance here.

It couldn't be called an acquaintance, just someone he had met, the beautiful woman who sold talismans in the Matou Mountain market.

He didn't expect to meet her here again.

She was still setting up a stall, selling talismans.

Before, He Pingsheng thought she used a Disguise Talisman, which is why she was so beautiful; now it seems that shouldn't be the case...

Because the Disguise Talisman is extremely precious, and it only has a validity period of two hours; although this woman is wealthy, how could she use a Disguise Talisman to maintain the same appearance all year round?

Eight out of ten, she is just that beautiful.

"This junior brother, do you want talismans?" The beautiful woman raised her head and glanced at He Pingsheng.

It was really because he had been staring at others for a long time.

He Pingsheng immediately blushed, sheepishly touched his nose, and said: "No, no..."

"Hehehe..." The beautiful woman smiled and said: "I recognize you, you bought my Disguise Talisman in Matou Mountain before, right?"

He Pingsheng didn't expect the other party to recognize him, and a burst of inexplicable excitement arose in his heart, saying: "Yes, yes, yes!"

After saying that, he cursed himself for being useless.

Why am I so excited just because a beautiful disciple talked to me?

After speaking, He Pingsheng hurriedly quickened his pace and left, heading toward other stalls.

"Junior brother..." Zhao Linger followed behind He Pingsheng and said: "Heart-moved? Hehehe... I see her Daoist robe, she is a disciple of Tianfu Mountain, hehehe... and our Tai Xu Men are a good match!"

He Pingsheng's face turned even redder.

He didn't know how to respond to Zhao Linger, so he hurriedly pretended to look at things, squatted down at a stall at random, and picked up a green jade slip, putting it to his forehead.

This was a cultivation technique.

Of course, there was only an outline here.

The cultivation technique was called 【Copper Skin and Golden Bone Scripture】.

Looking at the introduction of the general outline, this is a body-refining cultivation technique; after cultivation, it can improve the body's defensive power, turning it into copper skin and golden bone. If cultivated to the extreme, one can even resist the attacks of same-rank cultivators using only the body without external objects.

That strong?

He Pingsheng was somewhat heart-moved.

"This junior brother, I have a complete body-refining cultivation technique here!" The stall owner was a Daoist nun who looked to be about forty years old; she looked at He Pingsheng kindly.

He Pingsheng was also tongue-tied; she was so old and still at the Qi Refining stage?

But after thinking about it, he felt it was normal.

After all, there were quite a few male disciples in their seventies or eighties whose cultivation base was still at the Qi Refining stage.

"Don't want it!" Zhao Linger grabbed the jade slip and said: "Junior brother, your cultivation is already not easy, you should put all your energy into improving your cultivation base, how can you dabble in such side-door left-path things?"

"Cultivating this thing takes too much time!"

He Pingsheng smiled, took the cultivation technique back from Zhao Linger's hand, and said: "I want to try!"

Waste of time?

For others, it might really be a waste of time.

But for He Pingsheng, it really wasn't a waste.

In order to get stuck at the realm, he was cultivating all five elements, and now he was already at the seventh layer.

Even so, he was afraid that his cultivation base would break through too quickly.

If he had this body-refining cultivation technique to practice, wouldn't it just fill the spare time? ===== CHAPTER 70 =====
