"What?"
Zhao Ling'er exclaimed in shock, "You actually went in?"
"Didn't that bee sting you?"
Xu Kunlun was also shocked, "How did you get in?"
He Pingsheng said, "Don't worry about how I got in. Just remember not to spread this news, otherwise, according to the Sect's rule of surrendering half, if you two are caught, your bee jelly will also be confiscated!"
"Alright!" Xu Kunlun said, "Don't worry, my lips are sealed!"
Zhao Ling'er said, "My whole body is tight, I definitely won't say anything."
There was still some trust between them.
The reason the Storage Pouch incident caused such a stir last Time wasn't because Master's lips were loose; it was because Master Yu Ning wanted to show off too much.
She was too excited.
"It's not convenient now, I'll send them to you later!" He Pingsheng said, slowly taking the Jade Box in front of him and opening it.
Inside, there were exactly two chijing ginseng.
The chijing ginseng wasn't large.
It was red, with well-developed roots.
A rich medicinal fragrance instantly filled the entire palace.
"Are there only these two?" He Pingsheng asked.
A warm smile immediately appeared on Xu Kunlun's plump face, "No, we collected seven in total!"
"My Senior Sister and I each have two!"
"You have two!"
"We also gave one to Tian Xiaoqing!"
"You'll see, Tian Xiaoqing will probably have a Breakthrough in the next two days!"
He Pingsheng nodded.
However, he didn't need so many, so he took out one and returned it to Xu Kunlun, saying, "One is enough for me. You two take these back and exchange them for some money. You can then get a Storage Pouch!"
These two were already at the Foundation Establishment Stage, but neither of them had a Storage Pouch yet.
Xu Kunlun said, "That's enough. If I sell these two, it'll be enough to buy three Storage Pouches!"
He Pingsheng said, "Then take it back to Tian Xiaoqing and let her also get a Storage Pouch. I really don't need it!"
One chijing ginseng was enough for He Pingsheng to Break through his Bottleneck.
More than that was useless.
What's more, he could also use the gathering treasure basin to strengthen it.
After sending off Xu Kunlun and Zhao Ling'er, He Pingsheng didn't immediately deal with the chijing ginseng.
He was going to Breakthrough.
But before the Breakthrough, he had to strengthen this chijing ginseng, right?
But he couldn't strengthen it under the Old Man's nose. At the very least, he had to run outside the range of that Old Man's Divine Thought.
So, he might as well continue to comprehend the Formation.
The Old Man had said that no matter what happened, he shouldn't be in a hurry.
After several more days, after He Pingsheng had thoroughly memorized the basic chapters of the Formation, he came to the garden behind the Tai Xu Divine Hall again.
"Oh…" The Old Ancestor stretched, looked at the rising sun in the east, and suddenly felt a trance, saying, "It's morning already?"
He Pingsheng asked, "Did you lie here all night, Old Man?"
Taixu shook his head and said, "More than just one night. After you left last Time, Old Ancestor fell asleep, and slept for all this Time!"
He Pingsheng asked, "Why don't you return to your Dao field, Old Man?"
Taixu Old Ancestor turned his head blankly and looked at the black and solemn grand hall behind him, saying nothing.
Seeing him silent, He Pingsheng didn't dare to speak carelessly either.
After a long while, the Old Man finally said, "The Yin Qi is too heavy, I don't like it!"
Looking at the Old Ancestor like this, a touch of sadness inexplicably arose in He Pingsheng's heart.
An Old Man who had lived for thousands of years, he once crushed mountains and parted seas, dominating the world; he was once high-spirited, feeling invincible.
But at the end of his life, it was so desolate!
He gave up cultivation, he gave up everything.
Every day, all he did was wait for death, and wait for death.
It was truly boring beyond measure.
"Come, recite it!" Taixu took the Jade Slip from He Pingsheng's hand.
He Pingsheng honestly recited it once.
He passed the test.
"Today, I'll teach you how to make a Formation Plate!" Taixu said, "Once the Formation Plate is made, the Formation is more than half set up!"
As soon as his voice fell, a commotion was heard from outside.
Taixu Old Ancestor shook his head and said, "The Formation can't be learned today!"
"Let's go, you and I will go to the front and see!"
The main gate of the Tai Xu Divine Hall opened again.
Four or five boys brought all the items Taixu Old Ancestor needed, and the Formation outside surged, as two figures walked in.
One was Taixu Old Ancestor's only female Disciple: Jianzhu.
The other He Pingsheng didn't recognize. This person had white hair and beard, was tall, and had an extraordinary appearance.
Although he didn't recognize him, he had seen him last Time, he just didn't know his name.
"Disciple Jianzhu greets Master!"
"Disciple Wuwei greets Master!"
He Pingsheng was secretly astonished.
Wuwei was Taixu's eldest Disciple.
It was said that his cultivation was extraordinary, having reached the Perfection Realm of the Golden Core Stage, and was only a hair's breadth away from Breaking through to the Nascent Soul.
But why he hadn't Broken through, only he himself knew.
"What's the matter with you two?"
Taixu sat in the Time grandmaster's chair, his gaze exceptionally sharp.
Immortal Master Wuwei said, "Junior Sister, you speak first!"
Jianzhu giggled and said, "My matters are all trivial. I don't have such great ambitions as Senior Brother."
"Master, you also know that my Disciples have very large daily expenses, and Heaven One Peak is a bit short on funds!"
"I hope Master, you can help your Disciple out and give me some Spirit Stones!"
Taixu said, "I, your Old Man, have long had no such external possessions. It's useless for you to ask me for them!"
"Master, you're lying!" The old monster, who had lived for countless years, pretended to act spoiled and pouted, saying, "Your Old Man's treasures are all hidden here!"
"I saw them all!"
Before Taixu could speak, Immortal Master Jianzhu flew up into the air and landed with a bang in front of a bookshelf on Taixu Old Ancestor's left.
She reached out her Jade hand and took a Storage Pouch from the bookshelf.
The Storage Pouch opened.
With a clatter, a soft whip fell out.
Jianzhu immediately beamed with joy and said, "Master… you still have this treasure here?"
"I remember you used it when you were young, I almost forgot!"
"This is too coincidental. A few days ago, Disciple just learned a set of 【Jade Maiden Whip Arts】 Divine Ability Spell, but I just happened to be missing such a whip!"
"Can Disciple take it and use it for two days?"
Taixu Old Ancestor's expression was indifferent, his eyelids drooping as he waved his hand, "Scram… scram, scram, scram…"
The Old Man looked weak and listless.
"Hehehehehe…" Jianzhu giggled and took the whip and the Storage Pouch together, then swooshed out of the grand hall, as if afraid that Master would regret it.
Seeing this scene, He Pingsheng was utterly dumbfounded.
Isn't this robbery?
Knowing that Master doesn't have much Time left, they came to snatch things, did they?
Taixu Old Ancestor let out a deep sigh and said, "What do you want again?"
His wise gaze fixed on his eldest Disciple, Wuwei.
Immortal Master Wuwei lowered his head and said, "Disciple… Disciple came to see how Master's health is?"
Taixu Old Ancestor said, "Hypocrite, you want to see when I, your Master, will die, right?"
Thud!
Wuwei's legs went soft with fright, and he knelt on the ground.
