Time, at this moment, seemed to freeze.
He Pingsheng looked at the Old Man in front of him, and this ancient shelf, and the various bottles and jars on the shelf, and for a moment he felt dazed.
His long-held impressions and conjectures also seemed to be wavering.
However, after three breaths, he shook his head sharply.
Reality returned to reality.
“This is the key to the left side hall!” The Old Man gave He Pingsheng a long, white Jade Slip.
This Jade Slip could control the surrounding Formations, allowing him to enter this left side hall at any time.
“Take this Jade Slip!” Taixu Old Ancestor then gave He Pingsheng a crimson Jade Slip: “It records a Three-Rank Formation. I’m going to set up this Three-Rank Formation in a while!”
“You set it up, and I’ll assist you from the side!”
“During this time, study it carefully, deduce it meticulously, and if there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask me!”
“Go!”
He Pingsheng walked out of the Tai Xu Divine Hall holding the Jade Slip.
Because he was already inside this illusion Formation, the scene he saw was completely different from what was outside.
In He Pingsheng’s eyes, everything here remained unchanged.
After coming out of the Tai Xu Divine Hall and returning to his Dao field on the right, He Pingsheng took out the crimson Jade Slip, and his Divine Thought spread out, delving deep into it.
The Old Man was right; a great Formation was recorded inside.
The great Formation was named: Nine Yang Formation.
After reading the introduction, this Formation was extremely rigid and Positive. As for its purpose?
There was only one point: it could dispel Yin evil!
Why set up this thing?
He Pingsheng was puzzled.
But since the Old Man didn’t say, there was no need to dwell on it. He could just ask him when he set it up later.
In fact, the method for setting up this Nine Yang Formation was not difficult!
He Pingsheng spent a few days and understood it.
Before it was time to see Taixu Old Ancestor, He Pingsheng received a message from Zhao Ling’er.
This day, he left the Tai Xu Great Hall, and with a whoosh, transformed into a streak of light, heading towards Xiuzhu Peak.
The Taixu Old Ancestor had confined him, not allowing He Pingsheng to leave the Tai Xu Sect, but within the Tai Xu Sect, between the ten peaks, he could still move freely.
A magnificent great hall.
He Pingsheng looked up at the plaque of the great hall: True Spirit Hall.
Uh… this name!
Ever since the Old Ancestor ordered that all Foundation Establishment Stage Disciples could build great halls, the various Foundation Establishment Stage Disciples on the mountain began a frantic construction spree.
And they also frantically recruited Disciples.
The door of the True Spirit Hall opened, and Zhao Ling’er walked out from inside.
Behind her, more than twenty Disciples followed, both male and female.
“Come quickly!” Zhao Ling’er waved to the Disciples behind her, saying, “Come and pay respects to the Ancestral Master!”
“Greetings, Ancestral Master!”
Whoosh…
The Disciples behind them knelt on the ground one by one.
Zhao Ling’er said, “This is Ancestral Master He. He is a Personal Disciple of the Grand Elder and is on the same generation as my Master’s Master!”
With that, everyone became even more respectful.
He Pingsheng, however, had a wry smile on his face.
This seniority was indeed quite high.
“Alright, you all can leave!” Zhao Ling’er dismissed the Disciples one by one.
He Pingsheng said, “It’s only been a few days, and you’ve found so many Disciples?”
“Mm…” Zhao Ling’er said, “The Old Ancestor said, at least twenty, no less than that number, and a maximum of fifty!”
He Pingsheng asked, “How many have you recruited?”
“Thirty-three, I think!”
“Hehehe… Junior Brother, you don’t know, the Sect even has rewards for recruiting Disciples. For every Disciple over twenty, you can receive two more Spirit Stones each month!”
“Guess how much my current stipend is?”
He Pingsheng said, “I can’t guess!”
Zhao Ling’er said, “A fixed one hundred Spirit Stones, plus a reward of twenty-six, for a total of one hundred and twenty-six. That’s every month!”
“Alright, quickly give me my things!” He Pingsheng wasn’t interested in how many Spirit Stones she got each month. He was interested in something else.
Qiao Huizhu had news.
She had obtained a Baiyin Talisman.
“Mm…”
Zhao Ling’er took out a Talisman from her Storage Pouch and said, “This is it!”
He Pingsheng reached out and took it.
A Three-Rank Talisman.
Black.
It felt like a piece of Jade Slip in his hand, very textured.
Unlike a paper Talisman.
After obtaining the Baiyin Talisman, He Pingsheng immediately put it into his Storage Pouch.
After a brief conversation with Zhao Ling’er, He Pingsheng returned to his side hall.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, his brows furrowed slightly.
According to He Pingsheng’s previous conclusions from various tests on the gathering treasure basin, the gathering treasure basin could enhance all things, but the grade could not be too high.
It could not exceed two levels!
When he was in the Qi Refinement Stage, he could at most enhance two-rank items.
Three-rank items could not be enhanced.
This Talisman was Three-Rank.
Fortunately, He Pingsheng’s cultivation had now broken through from the Qi Refinement Stage to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
He himself didn’t know if the gathering treasure basin could now enhance items of Three-Rank.
He could try it, though.
How could he put this thing into the gathering treasure basin?
This was a problem.
After all, he was constantly within the scope of the Old Ancestor’s Divine Thought. Once the gathering treasure basin was used, who could guarantee that it wouldn’t be discovered by the Old Ancestor?
Therefore, he needed to find a location and a time that could avoid the Old Ancestor’s Divine Thought as much as possible.
He Pingsheng already had an idea in this regard.
So, when the sun set, He Pingsheng came to a deep pool behind Yu Long Peak.
Then he stripped off all his clothes, and with a splash, jumped into the water.
He soaked comfortably.
Refreshing!
He Pingsheng lay in the pool with his eyes closed. At this moment, he simultaneously communicated with the Jade Talisman in his Storage Pouch with his Divine Thought.
Using the power of Divine Thought as a guide, he threw the Jade Talisman into the gathering treasure basin.
The gathering treasure basin was also in the Storage Pouch.
Finally, He Pingsheng moved both the gathering treasure basin and the Jade Talisman into a hundred treasure sack.
The hundred treasure sack, naturally, was also in the Storage Pouch.
Thus, the current order was like this:
There was a hundred treasure sack in the Storage Pouch, the hundred treasure sack contained the gathering treasure basin, and inside the gathering treasure basin was a Three-Rank 【Baiyin Talisman】.
He Pingsheng believed that the Old Ancestor shouldn’t be so perverted as to keep his Divine Thought constantly covering him while he was naked and bathing here.
And bathing was the only opportunity.
The most likely opportunity to avoid the Old Ancestor’s Divine Thought.
As for whether it could be avoided, that could only depend on fate.
Early the next morning, before He Pingsheng had even gotten up, he stealthily extended his Divine Thought into his Storage Pouch.
That Three-Rank Jade Talisman had turned into two.
It was still black, but its quality had improved.
And this Baiyin Talisman had also become an 【Invisibility Talisman】.
Item Name: Invisibility Talisman.
Grade: Three-Rank (Supreme Grade).
Function: After activation, it allows a person to enter an invisible state. In the invisible state, both form and aura are imperceptible.
He Pingsheng was excited.
Originally, he only sought to hide his aura so that the Old Ancestor couldn’t scan him with Divine Thought.
Now, it was even better; his form was imperceptible too.
Wonderful!
Excellent.
