Chapter 847: Void Void Linggen, Moved

After forming the Golden Core, He He Pingsheng waved his hand and sealed away the seventh-rank 【Jin Jianxian Talisman】.

There's no need to use this talisman against a Body Integration cultivator anymore.

"Hmph…" The Body Integration sixth-layer Lei Long, seeing the tide had turned, let out a cold snort and vanished in a streak of light.

"Master Tai Xu!"

"Greetings, Master Tai Xu!"

"Master Tai Xu's alchemical skill is truly divine—unparalleled in my lifetime!"

Several nearby alchemists who hadn't left yet each bowed to him, lavishing praise.

He He Pingsheng was no petty grudge-holder; he casually waved his hand and said, "Thank you all for your kind words. Today my disciple is undergoing tribulation and breaking through—I won't linger. I'll visit each of you personally another day!"

"Good, good, good!"

Those present all turned into streaks of light and departed.

"Master!" Luo Luo Bingyao walked up to He He Pingsheng and bowed deeply.

He He Pingsheng said, "First, come back to my shop. We'll discuss everything once we're at the Guild."

He took Luo Luo Bingyao's hand and used two instantaneous teleports to reach the entrance of his shop.

"Earlier it was too rushed—Master, may I now perform a proper initiation ceremony for you?" Luo Luo Bingyao gazed at He He Pingsheng, her expression unusual.

Gratitude!

And astonishment!

And disbelief!

Had it not been for He He Pingsheng, she might not have died—but she certainly wouldn't have passed this trial so easily.

Especially after witnessing He He Pingsheng fight across realms, she felt a flicker of admiration: So my Master isn't ordinary after all.

"No need for that," He He Pingsheng shook his head. "This concerns the heart, not formality. Let's go inside."

Passing through the shop, the two arrived at the small courtyard behind.

With a wave of his hand, the fifth-rank array surrounding the courtyard sealed itself layer by layer.

"Sit down."

Master and disciple sat facing each other.

He He Pingsheng looked at Luo Luo Bingyao: "Luo Bingyao, since we're now master and disciple, I'll tell you a little about myself."

"I'm not from Lei Huang Continent. I come from Tianhuo Continent—but I angered someone powerful there, and now I can't return, or I'll be killed."

"Master, don't worry!" Luo Luo Bingyao said earnestly. "When I've cultivated to mastery, I'll escort you back. Anyone who dares disrespect you, I'll cut down their entire clan with one sword!"

He He Pingsheng: …………

"Don't talk like that. Killing entire clans at the drop of a hat—what kind of talk is that?"

"Let me finish."

Luo Luo Bingyao smiled. "Yes, Master, please continue."

He He Pingsheng continued: "So, 'Tai Xu Zi' isn't my real name. I have no Dao title. You only need to know my surname is He."

"But this must never be spoken to outsiders."

"Yes!" Luo Luo Bingyao nodded.

He He Pingsheng asked: "What kind of spiritual root do you have?"

He wondered—if suitable—he might grant her a few cultivation techniques or divine arts.

But Luo Luo Bingyao chuckled and said: "Master, I'm a Void Void Linggen."

"What?" He He Pingsheng's mouth dropped open: "Void Void Linggen?"

Void Void Linggen?

That's that powerful?

In that instant, He He Pingsheng recalled a childhood rival: Xiao Xuan!

That peerless Void Void Linggen had repeatedly failed against him, then was later tricked to death by two Masters from Wen Shan.

Tragic.

Had it not been for that, Xiao Xuan might have achieved something great.

"Master has heard of Void Spiritual Roots?" Luo Luo Bingyao asked curiously.

He He Pingsheng said: "Not just heard—I had a rival when I first entered the cultivation world. He was a Void Void Linggen: formless, invisible, his cultivation surged daily, and he knew no bottlenecks."

"Truly heavenly-rejecting!"

"What?" Luo Luo Bingyao gasped: "Your rival… when you first entered the cultivation world, didn't he crush you utterly?"

He He Pingsheng smiled: "Not really. He eventually perished at the Nascent Soul stage."

"So, no matter what spiritual root or heavenly fortune you have, what matters is surviving and continuing to cultivate."

Luo Luo Bingyao was utterly stunned: Even a Void Void Linggen could die?

Could it be… Master killed him?

"Enough of that," He He Pingsheng said. "Tell me—do you have any cultivation methods?"

"I have several Heaven-grade techniques. If you need them, I can give them to you."

But Luo Luo Bingyao shook her head immediately: "I have my family's ancestral cultivation method. I don't need others."

He He Pingsheng was slightly surprised by this.

She refused Heaven-grade techniques.

Clearly, her ancestral method must be extraordinarily powerful.

"Then… do you need any divine arts?"

Luo Luo Bingyao shook her head: "No, thank you, Master."

"Then… do you have any Spirit Refinement methods?"

Luo Luo Bingyao snapped her head up: "Master, you have such a thing?"

In the Spirit Realm, Spirit Nerve techniques were exceedingly rare—far rarer than Body Refinement methods.

Many Demon Emperors lacked Spirit Refinement methods.

He He Pingsheng nodded: "Yes… and it's Heaven-grade. Called the 【Xuan Men Jing Xin Zhen Jue】. Take it and cultivate."

He gave her six scrolls at once—from Qi Refining to Void Refinement.

"When you reach Body Integration, I'll give you the Body Integration scroll. But know this: my technique must not be passed on casually."

"Yes yes yes!" Luo Luo Bingyao was overwhelmed with excitement.

A Spirit Refinement technique—and Heaven-grade at that!

"This technique is called the 【Zi Fu Jiu Dun Fa】. It's a Spirit Nerve divine art. After cultivation, it forms nine unparalleled shields within your dantian."

"This divine art is also Heaven-grade."

"Take it and cultivate."

He He Pingsheng gave his disciple a Spirit Nerve defense technique.

He did not teach her the 【Wu Xiang Bei Dou Ding】 offensive technique.

"What?" Luo Luo Bingyao gasped in shock: "Another Spirit Nerve technique? And again, Heaven-grade?"

"Master… you're this incredible?"

He He Pingsheng ignored her praise and waved his hand, producing another magic treasure.

Upper-grade Xuantian Spirit Treasure: Silver River Flying Shuttle.

"This is an upper-grade Emperor's weapon," He He Pingsheng placed the Silver River Flying Shuttle before his disciple. "It's a travel treasure. After refining it, you can fly with it—its speed is extreme. Even a peak Body Integration cultivator can't catch you."

"I'm lending this to you for now."

"When you reach Body Integration, return it to me. Then I'll teach you a technique to pierce spatial barriers—after that, you won't need this Emperor's weapon anymore."

"Sssss…" Luo Luo Bingyao went completely numb.

Emperor's weapon?

And an upper-grade one?

He just gave it to me?

"Master, this gift is too precious—I… I can't accept it!" Luo Luo Bingyao's eyes filled with tears.

He He Pingsheng smiled: "This item is now rather useless to me."

"Enough. You've just broken through—go stabilize your cultivation first. In a few days, once it's steady, I'll give you this Jipin 【Jing Ye Dan】."
