"Master, and me!"
Tian Xiaoqing, who had a rather sweet appearance, raised her hand and said with some lack of confidence, "This Disciple also wants to go to Matou Mountain!"
Yu Ning said, "Why are you going to Matou Mountain?"
Tian Xiaoqing said, "I'm going to Matou Mountain to buy clothes made of heavenly silk. I feel like several Senior Brothers have been peeking at me recently!"
Pfft...
As soon as these words came out, several Senior Brothers, represented by Hou Muxian, immediately spat blood.
"Don't slander us!"
"Junior Sister Tian, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Who peeked at you?"
"We're only at the Qi Refinement Stage, how could we peek at you?"
Hou Muxian and the other Senior Brothers were flushed.
Yu Ning also said, "That's right, your Senior Brothers are all Qi Refinement Stage Disciples and cannot use Divine Thought to scan your body through clothes. What are you worried about?"
Tian Xiaoqing said, "That's still not good. Senior Brother is about to advance to the Foundation Establishment Stage. When he reaches the Foundation Establishment Stage, won't he also peek at me?"
Uh...
Yu Ning rubbed her forehead: "Others aren't that idle!"
"There's also the Old Ancestor!" Tian Xiaoqing said, "Chongyang Old Ancestor is a Golden Core Stage Cultivator. He can see me clearly with just a single thought..."
Watching the seriousness on Yu Ning's face grow stronger, Tian Xiaoqing decisively shut her mouth.
"Scram!" Yu Ning roared in anger.
The nine Disciples ran out of Yu Ning Palace like a swarm of bees.
Zhao Ling'er even pulled Tian Xiaoqing and ran at the very front, saying as they went, "Junior Sister Tian, can't you use your brain a bit? Can you just say anything?"
"You even dare to gossip about the Grandmaster's affairs?"
"Hiss, hiss, hiss..." Tian Xiaoqing said, "Be gentle, it hurts! Didn't you say last time that you were afraid the Grandmaster would peek at you?"
"You..." Zhao Ling'er wished she could just slap Tian Xiaoqing twice.
Behind them, Xu Kunlun was laughing so hard he was bending over.
"What's going on?" He Pingsheng looked bewildered: "Senior Brother, what are they talking about?"
"Heh..." Xu Kunlun said, "Ninth Junior Brother... Let me ask you, can you use Divine Thought to peek at Sixth Senior Sister's body?"
He Pingsheng quickly shook his head and said, "No, my Divine Thought can't pass through clothes!"
That's right, although the Divine Thought of Qi Refinement Stage Disciples can be released, it cannot pass through objects.
It can easily scan the situation behind them, making everything clear at a glance, preventing sneak attacks.
But if there's an object in the way, it cannot penetrate the object to scan the scene behind it.
This was just like when Luoyu couldn't see the situation inside the jar with her Divine Thought in the Secret Realm and was thus tricked by He Pingsheng!
If her Divine Thought could penetrate the jar, she wouldn't have opened it so easily.
As for using Divine Thought to penetrate clothes and see a girl's body, of course, that's also impossible.
As long as the other party's clothes are tied tightly enough.
But if one reaches the Foundation Establishment Stage, that's different.
A Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage experiences a significant growth in Divine Thought, and a qualitative change, allowing it to penetrate some thin objects to see what's behind them.
Like clothes.
If one reaches the Golden Core Stage, this Divine Thought will advance another level, able to directly pass through walls.
In front of such Cultivators, ordinary Qi Refinement Stage Disciples are like naked dolls.
However, there isn't necessarily no way to defend against it.
For example, clothes made of heavenly silk can defend against Divine Thought.
The hundred treasure sack that all Inner Sect Disciples of the Tai Xu Sect have is also made of this heavenly silk, so even Golden Core Cultivators cannot see through the items inside another person's hundred treasure sack.
After Xu Kunlun's explanation, He Pingsheng suddenly understood.
So that's how it is.
heavenly silk has such a benefit?
"Ninth Junior Brother, what are you going to do next?" Zhao Ling'er, Tian Xiaoqing, and Xu Kunlun all looked at He Pingsheng.
He Pingsheng said, "My Divine Thought is damaged now, so I can't Cultivate. There's no other way, I can only wait for Master to buy me a Spirit Recovery Pill!"
"This period has been quite tiring, I plan to rest first!"
"Okay!" Zhao Ling'er said, "We won't disturb you either. Everyone go back to their own places!"
"Little Junior Brother, thank you for the Water Essence Spirit Apricot!"
"Right, thank you, Ninth Junior Brother!" Xu Kunlun patted his body hard: "If anything happens in the future, I, Old Xu, will not hesitate to die ten thousand times!"
Tian Xiaoqing said with a chuckle, "Thank you, Junior Brother, we all benefited from you this time!"
He Pingsheng said, "What benefit or not, we are all Senior Brothers and Junior Sisters, like one family. But speaking of which, you should still be careful, it's best to listen to Master's words and not leave Xiuzhu Peak casually!"
"Who knows how many people outside are plotting against us!"
The four separated and returned to their respective courtyards.
He Pingsheng directly hung a "Cultivating" sign at the courtyard gate, then locked the courtyard door from the inside.
The First Grade Formation was activated.
Back in the room.
Sitting down, He Pingsheng exhaled deeply.
The matter of killing Luoyu and Yu De in the Secret Realm, and then killing Yu De after coming out, was basically over.
Next, he needed to consider Cultivating.
However...
He frowned slightly.
Tian Xiaoqing's words just now had reminded him.
On Xiuzhu Peak, there were not only Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators, but also Foundation Establishment Stage and Golden Core Stage Cultivators.
Especially the Old Ancestor at the Golden Core Stage, whose Divine Thought was powerful enough to easily pass through walls.
That meant that as long as the Old Ancestor wished, he could see the situation of any Disciple.
This made one's back feel cold.
Before, He Pingsheng was just an ordinary Disciple, not showing off, so the Old Ancestor might not have paid attention to every detail.
But now, He Pingsheng had become the focus of Xiuzhu Peak.
What if the Old Ancestor became interested and sent a thought over, wouldn't my secret be exposed?
What to do?
What to do?
For now, he could only refrain from taking out the gathering treasure basin.
Or, find something that could block the Old Ancestor's Divine Thought!
He Pingsheng thought for a while, then left his small courtyard again and came to Tian Xiaoqing's courtyard.
"Junior Brother... Weren't you going to rest?" Tian Xiaoqing let He Pingsheng into the courtyard while closing the Formation.
The two sat down in Tian Xiaoqing's boudoir.
"Senior Sister, actually... I also want some heavenly silk!" He Pingsheng explained his purpose.
Tian Xiaoqing immediately laughed and said, "You're a big man, why do you need heavenly silk? Are you afraid of others looking at you?"
He Pingsheng said, "Why wouldn't I be afraid?"
"What if Master... peeks at me?"
"Pfft..." Tian Xiaoqing directly burst out laughing: "Gaga ga... Saying Master peeks at you, you might as well say Senior Sister Zhao and I peek at you!"
He Pingsheng suddenly looked up and said, "You really peeked at me?"
"No way!" Tian Xiaoqing's face was flushed, and she said, "How could that be? I'm only at the Qi Refinement Stage now, how could I have such powerful Divine Thought to peek at you? Alright... What do you want me to help you with?"
"Just say it directly!"
"Okay!" He Pingsheng said, "Since the Matou Mountain Chamber of Commerce has silk clothing, they should also have silk bedding, right!"
Tian Xiaoqing nodded: "They do!"
He Pingsheng asked, "How many Spirit Stones does a set cost?"
Tian Xiaoqing said, "It's not cheap... A set costs about one hundred Spirit Stones!"
