For a moment, He Pingsheng was deeply moved.
After all, his Master was thinking for him.
And she had thought of everything so thoroughly.
But after the emotion, he was filled with deep worry again.
In this world, the most unpredictable thing is the human heart.
Although He Pingsheng was not old, just a little shy of twenty, he had experienced quite a lot of unpredictable human nature.
Not to mention distant examples, just take Luoyu as an instance.
When Linglong wanted to kill him back then, Luoyu stepped in to stop her.
In He Pingsheng's heart, Luoyu was pure and flawless.
Even when he fought against Luoyu in the Secret Realm, Luoyu didn't use her full strength, and he even thought Luoyu was intentionally holding back.
Why hold back? Wasn't it because Senior Sister Luoyu was kind-hearted?
She was a good person.
But who would have thought that such a good person, almost perfect in He Pingsheng's heart, would ultimately launch a sneak attack on him, leaving his Divine Thought still unrestored to this day?
Although Yu Ning was his biological Master, who could guarantee that her sincerity was genuine and not feigned?
If she knew I had a gathering treasure basin, would she make a move against me?
It's really hard to say.
If one cannot see through the human heart, then one can only do one's best!
He sat down cross-legged!
The Formation was activated.
After confirming everything, He Pingsheng took out the porcelain bottle Yu Ning had given him, randomly picked out a Spirit Recovery Pill from it, and swallowed it in one gulp.
No enhancement.
No matter what, he wouldn't enhance it at this moment.
First, ensure safety.
When he had the chance later, he would go to Matou Mountain to buy a Two-Rank Fire Talisman, which, after enhancement, should be able to deal with Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators.
One must not harbor intentions to harm others!
But one must absolutely not be without the intention to guard against others.
He Pingsheng focused wholeheartedly on restoring his Divine Thought, disregarding everything else.
One day!
Two days!
Three days!
In the blink of an eye, three months passed.
In three months, his Divine Thought had only recovered by half.
There was nothing he could do; Divine Thought recovery was just that slow.
However, good news arrived.
That was, after repeated review and investigation by the Law Enforcement Hall, no evidence was found that He Pingsheng had killed Linglong and Yu De.
Therefore, He Pingsheng was released from all Restrictions.
He Pingsheng breathed a sigh of relief.
The sword hanging over his head was finally removed.
After three months of carefulness, He Pingsheng's courage also loosened up a bit.
One day, lying in his quilt, he secretly took out the gathering treasure basin and placed a Spirit Recovery Pill into it.
After a night of enhancement, one Spirit Recovery Pill became two.
And the quality also became top-grade.
After swallowing this top-grade Spirit Recovery Pill, He Pingsheng's Divine Thought healed rapidly.
Three days later, his Divine Thought was fully restored.
With his Divine Thought recovered, many things could be done.
He could continue cultivating formless Cultivation Techniques like the Li Fire True Method, or Body Refining Cultivation Techniques like the Nine Poison Golden Body.
He could also practice Spirit Refining!
He Pingsheng found another time to secretly sneak into his bed, pulling out a new Storage Pouch from his hidden Storage Pouch.
This Storage Pouch belonged to Yu De.
This Storage Pouch had been in He Pingsheng's hands for a long time, but he hadn't opened it.
Because his Divine Thought hadn't recovered, many items were useless even if obtained, and couldn't be refined even if enhanced.
Now he could open it.
With a gentle swipe, the few remaining imprints of Yu De on it were completely cleaned away.
The items within the Storage Pouch were then revealed before his eyes.
First, this Storage Pouch was not small; it was a High Grade Storage Pouch.
The space within a High Grade Storage Pouch was a full ten feet in circumference.
So, He Pingsheng saw many Spirit Stones at a glance.
A sweep of his Divine Thought gave him a rough count: about thirty thousand.
Thirty thousand Spirit Stones.
For He Pingsheng, this was an astronomical figure.
That Old thing, Yu De, was truly rolling in wealth.
Collected!
These thirty thousand Spirit Stones were placed by He Pingsheng into his hidden Storage Pouch.
Besides the Spirit Stones, there were also some Cultivation Techniques, Spells, and the like.
He Pingsheng didn't fancy these, nor was there any need to enhance them.
However, a green Jade Slip caught his attention.
He Pingsheng took out the Jade Slip, held it to his brow, and saw that it was an essential text on Formations.
Its name was 'Tracing the Origins of the Solitary Formation Method'.
This is good!
He Pingsheng was currently completely ignorant of Formations; when setting up First Grade Formations, he followed the instructions precisely.
As for why they were set up that way, he just didn't know.
In cultivation, one cannot neglect Formations.
This thing is too useful!
He could keep this.
Then he continued looking!
Medicinal Pills, Spiritual Plants, and also Pill Formulas, Pill Furnaces, and so on.
Besides these, there were some Talismans.
He Pingsheng was pleasantly surprised to find that Yu De's Storage Pouch contained Two-Rank Talismans.
Three in total.
One Falling Rock Talisman, earth attribute.
Two Fire Talismans, fire attribute.
All three Talismans were attack-oriented.
Besides the Talismans, there were also several Treasure Artifacts.
A green Medium Grade Spiritual Artifact Shield, with six layers of Restrictions on it.
He Pingsheng had seen this item before; Yu De had used it once when he brought it out to block his Myriad Swords Dao Talisman.
There was also a black spear the size of a palm!
This spear was also a Medium Grade Spiritual Artifact, with six layers of Restrictions on it.
Hiss, hiss...
He Pingsheng took a deep breath.
It now seemed that being able to kill Yu De could truly only be described as a complete coincidence.
It was truly a stroke of Opportunity.
If only Yu De had made the first move, casually using any of his methods, He Pingsheng would have surely died.
Whether it was Talismans or Magic Treasures.
If Yu De had gone all out, no, even if he had just shed thirty percent of his arrogance, He Pingsheng would not have had the chance to activate the Dao Talisman.
But Yu De, due to his arrogance and overconfidence, did not seize the initiative and thus lost his life.
He Pingsheng's heart pounded, and he secretly warned himself: no matter when, never be careless.
Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit!
If one is careless, death is not far off.
He ran his hand over the small spear, and a wisp of Divine Thought extended.
The information about this small spear appeared in He Pingsheng's mind.
Name: Black Wind Spear.
Grade: Medium Grade Spiritual Artifact.
Can be enhanced!
He would find a time to enhance it; his abilities in all aspects could then improve significantly.
However...
He Pingsheng waved his hand and took out a small shield.
This small shield was bestowed by Ancestral Master Chongyang Immortal Master.
This item absolutely cannot be enhanced.
What if it's enhanced, and then Master asks me where the small shield I gave you went?
How would he explain?
In the time that followed, He Pingsheng cultivated while secretly enhancing items.
Of course, he didn't enhance them every day; he would take out one item to enhance only after many days.
Another two years passed like this, and by the time He Pingsheng's cultivation reached Qi Refining Stage Eight, all these items had also been enhanced by him.
The Fire Talisman was enhanced into a Skyfire Talisman.
The Falling Rock Talisman was enhanced into a Mountain Moving Talisman.
The shields were enhanced into top-grade spirit tools; one became a Holy Wood Shield, and the other a Tie Mu Shield.
The small spear, after enhancement, became a top-grade spirit tool; one became the Nine Luminaries Dragon Slaying Banner, and the other a Lightning Spear.
That 'Tracing the Origins of the Solitary Formation Method' was also enhanced; one part became Three-Rank Arrays, and the other became the Myriad Arrays Compendium.
