Chapter 840: Senior Sister Qu

"Sorry, Senior!"

He Pingsheng shook his head: "I don't want a seventh-rank talisman—I only want a higher-level scripture on talisman crafting!"

"If anyone has one, I can offer other items to make up the difference!"

He Pingsheng knew his set of array materials could never exchange for something so advanced.

But he wasn't worried!

As the saying goes, throw a brick to attract jade—if someone truly wanted to sell, they'd come to him.

"Very good!" The Qu Senior Sister from Mount Baimu nodded and said, "Your items are excellent, but exchanging them for a high-rank talisman scripture is impossible!"

"Moreover, our Mount Baimu naturally possesses high-rank scriptures, but these are secret heirlooms passed down through generations—ordinary people could never obtain them!"

"To be blunt, even our own Void Refinement disciples may never get a chance to see them!"

"Impossible!"

After speaking, this senior sister shook her head.

"But!" the Qu Senior Sister added, "I still want to know—if someone really does bring you the scripture you seek, what kind of treasure would you offer in exchange?"

He Pingsheng smiled.

He had many treasures on him.

Right now, there were plenty of items his Treasure Basin couldn't strengthen.

But under normal circumstances, he wouldn't reveal them.

Still, some items could be traded without issue, so He Pingsheng waved his hand and produced one.

Upper-grade Xuantian Magic Treasure: Silver River Sky Shuttle!

And it was an imperial weapon.

Its main function was travel, but it could also be used for attack in critical moments.

It was rather mediocre.

Now, the Silver River Sky Shuttle was mediocre to He Pingsheng—he already possessed the 【Spatial Wormhole】 technique, effortlessly tearing through space with a mere gesture!

The Silver River Sky Shuttle had become unnecessary.

If possible, he truly wished to replicate it before trading it away.

Unfortunately, his current cultivation level was too low to replicate it.

One's life can never be perfect in every way.

Enough already!

Just bring it out.

Hummm… hummm… hummm…

He Pingsheng sent a thread of magic power into it.

The Silver River Sky Shuttle instantly expanded, revealing thirty-one sealing layers.

"My heavens… it's an imperial weapon—and an upper-grade one, just one sealing layer away from a supreme imperial weapon!"

"Sssss…"

"Holy shit…"

"This is too terrifying!"

"An imperial weapon? And you're willing to trade it?"

Nearly everyone in the trading hall was stunned silent.

He Pingsheng said: "Don't be shocked, seniors. Though this is an imperial weapon, its value is limited—it's called the 【Silver River Sky Shuttle】, a flying vessel whose sole function is travel!"

"Its speed is ultimate!"

"Though it can be used for attack, it's… rather mediocre; its offensive power doesn't even match a single Heaven-Piercing Magic Treasure!"

Hearing this, the crowd's enthusiasm dropped sharply.

Honestly, this was an imperial weapon a Mahayana Emperor would ignore!

After all, Mahayana Emperors could directly open space portals—why need a flying vessel?

Yet it still held immense appeal for Body Integration cultivators.

"A fine item!" the Qu Senior Sister sighed. "I'd even want to trade for it—but though I possess talisman scriptures, I once swore a Heavenly Oath not to pass them to any disciple outside Mount Baimu. What a pity!"

Many others echoed her regret.

Someone asked: "Young cultivator, could I exchange other heavenly treasures for your Silver River Sky Shuttle?"

He Pingsheng shook his head: "Sorry, senior. I don't lack spiritual resources—I only lack this talisman scripture. Without it, I won't trade at all."

"Alright then!"

"Young friend!" A Body Integration female Daoist in green robes stood up, her jade hand waving as she produced a milky-white mushroom glowing with nine-colored light: "I see you're at Void Refinement Level Eleven—you've surely hit a bottleneck, haven't you?"

"I have here one 【Cangnan White Mushroom】. After consuming it, you'll instantly break through your bottleneck—the Dao Union realm won't be far off!"

"Can I trade this Cangnan White Mushroom for your Silver River Sky Shuttle?"

He Pingsheng replied politely: "Sorry, senior. I wish to break through my bottleneck on my own—I won't rely on heavenly treasures."

That was being polite.

If He Pingsheng were Wang Dun, he'd have stormed out and shouted: What is this trash, and you think it's worth my imperial weapon?

The Silver River Sky Shuttle may be mediocre, but it's still an upper-grade imperial weapon.

This Cangnan White Mushroom is merely a seventh-rank heavenly treasure.

The value difference is over a hundredfold, isn't it?

Several others made offers next, but He Pingsheng rejected them all.

The crowd had no recourse.

He Pingsheng retracted the Silver River Sky Shuttle.

Others began trading.

From start to finish, He Pingsheng found nothing he was interested in.

Only when the trading ended did he stand up, somewhat listless.

Still, he wasn't truly disappointed.

If high-rank scriptures were that easy to obtain, it would be strange indeed.

As he stepped out of the trading hall, he was immediately followed.

The follower was none other than the Qu Senior Sister from Mount Baimu.

"Young cultivator… wait… I'd like to make a deal with you!" The Qu Senior Sister stepped before him.

He Pingsheng assumed she coveted his Silver River Sky Shuttle, so he swept his spiritual sense over her—and found she was merely Body Integration Level Six. He instantly relaxed.

Such a cultivation level was easy to kill, as long as she wasn't absurdly overpowered.

But soon, he realized he was wrong.

The Qu Senior Sister didn't want his Silver River Sky Shuttle—she wanted his array.

"I'm sorry," she said. "Mount Baimu has strict rules: we cannot transmit high-rank talisman methods outside our sect. We all swore Heavenly Oaths. But I truly desire your Twelve Nirvana Shared Lifespan Array!"

"Young brother, how about this—I have a very high-rank talisman scripture, but it's a fragmentary copy!"

"It contains only sixty percent of the eighth-rank talisman formulas; forty percent is missing. Some foundational principles are also absent!"

"This is authentic—I found it two thousand years ago in an ancient ruin!"

"Though incomplete, the remaining portions can benefit beginners in talisman crafting immensely. Its talisman concepts are still worth studying!"

"How about we trade?"

As she spoke, the Qu Senior Sister handed over a piece of demonic beast hide.

He Pingsheng picked it up and examined it—indeed.

The hide was severely damaged, covered in dense script and talisman patterns, clearly showing extensive wear and loss.

Yet some sections remained intact.

He Pingsheng immediately frowned: Damn, this isn't sixty percent missing—it's sixty percent gone!
