He Pingsheng let out a deep sigh of relief as he watched Feng Daogu perish from the Talisman, without even a chance to struggle.
Then, he ran to where Feng Daogu had fallen, picked up her Storage Pouch, and also a Flying Sword.
The intense fire generated by the Skyfire Talisman, after attacking Feng Daogu, had remaining unused energy that exploded in the distance, instantly igniting a massive mountain fire among the numerous ancient trees.
He Pingsheng dared not linger; after drinking a drop of Golden Bee Holy Nectar to replenish his depleted Dantian, he took out his Chuan Yun Boat and soared into the Void Realm with a whoosh.
The Vajra Talisman was still active around He Pingsheng's body and had not been retracted.
After all, Feng Daogu had a Master.
Who knew if the Golden Core Stage Jianzhu would be nearby? If she ambushed him with a sword, that would be disastrous.
He had to leave quickly!
Fortunately, the journey was peaceful, and he did not encounter any enemy attacks until he landed on Yu Long Peak.
He Pingsheng hurriedly entered the large formation and arrived at his Daoist temple.
Phew...
Upon returning to his Daoist temple, he finally completely relaxed.
"As long as I don't admit to killing Feng Daogu, what can anyone do to me?"
"Anyway, no one saw it!"
After comforting himself, He Pingsheng's gaze fell upon Feng Daogu's Flying Sword.
The quality of the Flying Sword was quite good.
It was a Spiritual Artifact of High Grade quality.
There was no need to enhance this item; he would give it to his Master later.
Hiss...
He Pingsheng swiftly moved his Divine Thought and erased the mark on it.
Then, he opened Feng Daogu's Storage Pouch.
When one wins, one must definitely tally the spoils of war.
First of all, the grade of this Storage Pouch was very high.
It wasn't an ordinary Low Grade Storage Pouch, but a High Grade one!
That's right!
It was the kind of High Grade Storage Pouch that was ten feet long and ten feet wide.
Inside the Storage Pouch, the most conspicuous item was a large pile of Spirit Stones. He Pingsheng's Divine Thought swept over them, and the number of Spirit Stones was revealed: approximately forty thousand.
He Pingsheng was stunned.
How could this woman, working in the Law Enforcement Hall, have so many Spirit Stones?
How did she embezzle these?
Ignoring the Spirit Stones, he continued to look.
Materials, Medicinal Pills, Treasure Artifacts!
He Pingsheng did not examine these closely either; instead, he sent out a thought, taking out all the Jade Slips and books from the Storage Pouch.
During their previous confrontation, He Pingsheng had noticed that the "Ice Thorn" Spell used by the Old Daoist Nun was quite good.
Taken by surprise, it could certainly give an enemy a big surprise.
He hoped to find the Ice Thorn Spell among these Jade Slips.
He Pingsheng examined them one by one.
In fact, searching was easy; he only needed to look for Cultivation Techniques and Spells of water and ice attributes.
There weren't many records in this regard, only one in total.
It was a cyan Jade Slip.
Only one Spell was recorded inside the Jade Slip.
Name: Ice Thorn Technique.
Grade: Profound Rank.
Function: Driven by a water-attribute Dantian, spiritual power can continuously condense one hundred and eight giant ice thorns to attack enemies.
This was it!
He Pingsheng happily singled out this Spell.
However, thinking of this, he replayed the battle with Feng Daogu just now.
The entire battle process was not a big problem.
Feng Daogu had been attacking continuously, and he had even found a gap to counterattack once while defending.
After all, the Realm gap was too large; before using the Talisman, achieving such a result could be considered a perfect performance.
However, He Pingsheng also had a concern.
That was, his wood-attribute Dantian was depleted.
This was a very annoying matter.
Although he had five Dantians and Cultivated all Five Elements, the wood attribute was his primary attribute.
Holy Wood Shield, Sacred Wood Poison Dragon Technique, and Great Banner Rolling Thunder Technique all consumed wood spiritual power.
Although he had Golden Bee Holy Nectar to replenish spiritual power at any time, in a battle that truly decided life and death, there was simply no time to consume the Holy Nectar.
At such times, it was very awkward.
He Pingsheng deeply missed the Taixu Great Xuan Scripture mentioned by that Old Man, Taixu.
According to the Old thing, once this thing was Cultivated, it could transform all the chaotic myriad phenomena into formless and intangible states.
The other earth spiritual power, fire spiritual power, metal spiritual power, and water spiritual power within his body could all be instantly converted into wood spiritual power.
If he had this Taixu Great Xuan Scripture, then his magical power would truly be endless!
What a pity.
The Old Man died, and he took the Taixu Great Xuan Scripture with him to another world.
He organized the Jade Slips!
Then He Pingsheng went on to sort out the rest of the items, and he found an unexpected item in Feng Daogu's Storage Pouch: a Nascent Origin Pill.
Although it was only Low Grade, this Nascent Origin Pill was a third-grade Medicinal Pill.
What was a Nascent Origin Pill?
Its function was similar to a Foundation Establishment Pill; it could be used to Breakthrough major Realms.
The Nascent Origin Pill was for Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage twelve layer Peak; once consumed, there was a certain probability of advancing to the Golden Core Stage.
"How strange!" He Pingsheng looked at the Medicinal Pill before him, muttering to himself in confusion: "Feng Daogu was already a Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage Peak, why didn't she just swallow this Nascent Origin Pill to attempt to Breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm, but instead kept it?"
What He Pingsheng didn't know was that Feng Daogu had already taken three Nascent Origin Pills before.
Of course, they were all of Low Grade quality.
Unfortunately, none of the three had enabled her to Breakthrough.
This one was the last one she had; taking it again would likely be useless, so Feng Daogu kept it, thinking of consuming it when the Opportunity arose in the future.
Unexpectedly, it was obtained by He Pingsheng.
"I can enhance it!"
He Pingsheng finished clearing out Feng Daogu's items, then also brought out the items he had purchased at Matou Mountain Market.
There were four items that needed to be enhanced.
First: the Spell, "Ice Thorn Technique."
Second: the Nascent Origin Pill.
Third: a second-grade Talisman, "Sharp Metal Talisman."
Fourth: an unknown, damaged "Formation Plate."
Next was the enhancement, one by one.
On the first day, the "Ice Thorn Technique" was enhanced into two books.
One was named "Glazed World," a Heaven Rank Spell. Once cast, it could instantly form a massive ice palace in the air to freeze the opponent.
However, similarly, this item consumed a considerable amount of spiritual power.
It could instantly drain a water-attribute Dantian.
The second book was named "Poison Thorn Ice Cone Technique," a Heaven Rank Spell. When cast, it could instantly form massive ice thorns that would stab out from underground, and the ice thorns could also carry poison.
Which one to Cultivate?
He Pingsheng hadn't decided yet; both of these ice Spells were extremely powerful.
As for which one to specifically Cultivate, he would decide later!
Continue enhancing!
Next, the Nascent Origin Pill.
One Low Grade Nascent Origin Pill was enhanced into two High Grade Nascent Origin Pills.
Two second-grade "Sharp Metal Talismans" were enhanced into four High Grade "Heaven Metal Talismans."
On the last day, what was enhanced was the old, broken Formation Plate that he had bought for ten Spirit Stones at a street stall.
He Pingsheng had originally thought that after this item was enhanced, it should be restored to completeness and become two.
But...
It didn't.
A night passed, and the Formation Plate still lay quietly in the gathering treasure basin.
The quantity hadn't changed, nor had the degree of damage.
It was exactly the same as before it was put in.
Seeing this scene, He Pingsheng's eyes narrowed slightly.
