Chapter 839: Opening

He Pingsheng still had many elixirs on him.

Most of them had been enhanced by him, at least superior grade!

He had no seventh-grade elixirs for now, but plenty of sixth-grade ones, such as 【Ji Dao Dan】, 【Ji Dao Qiong Dan】, 【Feng Shen Dan】, and 【Tui Ying Dan】.

Each of these had many quantities.

Fifth-grade elixirs were even more numerous, including Ji Dao Dan, Shen Po Dan, Hua Xing Dan, and others.

Besides these, He Pingsheng also possessed many lower-grade elixirs, meant for Golden Core and Foundation Establishment cultivators.

But he did not take them out.

Because it was unnecessary.

He Pingsheng had decided: if he was going to do it, he would focus only on high-end elixirs, and avoid the lowest-grade ones entirely.

Because they offered little profit and consumed too much time.

"And these—these are fifth-grade 【Bing Yu Pi Pa Gao】. Each pill can instantly refill the dantian of a Soul Transformation cultivator!"

This Tian Song Xuan Huang Lu is fourth-grade and has the same effect—all of them are top-grade!

"Set the pricing yourself after you inquire around—I don't know the exact market value!"

After entrusting the front-line operations to Feng Wu, He Pingsheng went to the back.

Feng Wu was at Body Integration Level One, a high-level cultivator even in the Spirit Realm; with him watching over the shop, problems would rarely arise.

He Pingsheng walked into the courtyard behind and spent some time cleaning it, then made a simple layout and planned to set up a fifth-grade great array.

Of course, it was only a plan.

A fifth-grade great array could not be built in a short time.

After finishing everything, He Pingsheng returned to his small room and tossed the five 【Qi Cai Sheng Lian Zi】 he had just obtained from the Shanquan Trading Society into the Treasure Basin.

This item also needed enhancement.

The next morning, he had enhanced the seven-colored holy lotus seeds into ten.

He took out all materials needed to brew Seven-Colored Holy Lotus Tea—enough for exactly ten batches.

He Pingsheng did not brew any; he stood up, patted his buttocks, greeted Feng Wu, and headed back to the Shanquan Trading Society.

Because the Shanquan Trading Society held a small trading assembly this morning.

He Pingsheng was quite looking forward to this trading assembly.

"Friend Tai Xu Zi has arrived… hahaha… come right in, most people are already here!"

Elder Dong led He Pingsheng to the entrance of a grand hall.

He Pingsheng walked in by himself.

The hall was already filled with many cultivators; each sat on a seat, roughly two hundred chairs arranged in a large circle, with a raised platform in the center—currently empty.

He Pingsheng's spiritual sense swept through and found most cultivators here were at Body Integration.

Some were at Void Refinement, similar to him.

Of course, when He Pingsheng extended his spiritual sense, others also curiously sent theirs his way.

He found an empty seat and sat down.

Then he waited.

After sitting for about the duration of an incense stick, nearly everyone had arrived.

Elder Dong walked to the center of the circle formed by all the cultivators and bowed respectfully to those around him: "Fellow cultivators, respected elders, I offer my greetings. Let's skip the formalities and get straight to the rules!"

"Each of you may bring items to exchange for what you desire, but one rule: our Trading Society holds priority right of first refusal!"

"Second, our Trading Society will charge a handling fee for every transaction!"

A minimum of five percent of the transaction value, but never exceeding the worth of one top-grade spirit stone!

As he spoke, he glanced at He Pingsheng.

"Any questions?"

"If none, we may begin!"

"Who goes first?"

Elder Dong looked around.

No one volunteered.

He Pingsheng thought for a moment, then stood up from his seat and said: "Respected elders, let this junior go first!"

"I have here a complete array: the 【Twelve Nirvana Shared Longevity Great Array】, the foundational array of the Phoenix Clan of the Divine Race on the Flame Continent!"

"The array disc, array core, array flags, and array diagram are all complete—please observe!"

He Pingsheng waved his hand and summoned forth the complete materials of the Twelve Nirvana Shared Longevity Great Array.

Long ago, in that Grand World, he had broken the Phoenix Clan's array and slain their heavenly prodigies one by one.

The complete materials of this array naturally fell into He Pingsheng's hands.

Then he enhanced them with the Treasure Basin.

One set became two.

Since the array was already top-grade, enhancement did not improve its quality—only duplicated it.

He kept one set for himself and now brought out the other for sale.

He was not worried the Phoenix Clan would find out—this was Lei Huang Continent, a world apart from the Flame Continent; ordinary cultivators' information did not spread so quickly.

Only top-tier secrets reached the Flame Continent swiftly.

He Pingsheng tossed the materials into the void and continued: "This array is extraordinary—if twelve Body Integration cultivators operate it together, they can summon the power of a Semi-Emperor, formidable in both offense and defense!"

"If your clan lacks a Mahayana Emperor but has many Body Integration cultivators, consider acquiring it—it will yield unexpected results!"

As soon as he revealed it, many became interested.

"Let me see!"

"This old man wants a look too!"

"Let us see!"

After a while, someone asked: "Young friend, what are you seeking in exchange for this array?"

All eyes turned to He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng replied: "I seek a classic scripture on 【Talisman Crafting】, one that must include methods for crafting eighth-grade talismans!"

There was no choice!

Talismans were vital to He Pingsheng.

His wife had ascended; now he had to craft them himself.

Since seventh-grade talismans were already hard to buy, eighth-grade Mahayana Emperor-grade talismans would be even more impossible to obtain!

Better to craft them himself.

With so much free time during his bottleneck, not learning some esoteric skills would be a waste.

"Hahaha…" An old man chuckled, stroking his beard: "Young friend, you're being greedy… I admit your array is excellent, but it's still seventh-grade!"

"Yet you seek an eighth-grade scripture on talisman crafting!"

"There's a gap in grade—just as there's a gap between Body Integration and Mahayana Emperor!"

"Forgive me, but this exchange won't happen."

"How about this? I have two seventh-grade talismans here—we could trade them for your array."

The old man stared intently at He Pingsheng.

He was Body Integration Level Eleven.

Very strong!

Others chimed in.

"Yes, that's right—you can't trade for an eighth-grade scripture!"

"Exactly…"

"Two seventh-grade talismans are no small thing!"

"Qu Shi-jie of Baimu Mountain, your family is a talisman clan—what do you say?"
