Originally, Xuan Yuan Chang Geng invited He Pingsheng over not considering him a primary force, but only valuing his poison arts.
Unexpectedly, He Pingsheng's attack power was so high.
Since he could kill Qin Mingyue, he could naturally compensate for Qin Mingyue's combat power.
He was even stronger.
"Come... let me introduce him!" Xuan Yuan Chang Geng pointed at He Pingsheng and said, "This is Fellow Daoist He. Fellow Daoist He is not only proficient in poison arts but also an impressive Alchemist, capable of refining second-grade Medicinal Pills!"
Xuan Yuan didn't actually know if he could refine second-grade Medicinal Pills, nor did he care. He just had to boast.
"This is White Dragon, Fellow Daoist White!"
"This is Fellow Daoist Zi Xian!"
After introducing He Pingsheng, Xuan Yuan began to introduce the other two.
The hunched old man who had just offered to help Qin Mingyue was White Dragon.
He Pingsheng was not polite. His Divine Thought opened again and swept over the two of them.
White Dragon, a Foundation Establishment Stage Seventh Layer Cultivator.
The middle-aged man, Zi Xian, was a Foundation Establishment Stage Ninth Layer Cultivator.
"Fellow Daoist He!" White Dragon cupped his hands towards He Pingsheng and said, "Qin Mingyue and I are not actually familiar; we merely know each other. This old man had no other intentions just now, please forgive me!"
He Pingsheng nodded and said, "No worries!"
The old man was indeed greedy for wealth just now, wanting to help Qin Mingyue suppress him.
But he couldn't fall out with the old man over this matter.
After all, the other party was a Foundation Establishment Stage Seventh Layer Late Stage Cultivator, and He Pingsheng had no certainty of killing him.
These fellows who had been in the Foundation Establishment Stage for many years each had one or two trump cards. If they fought to the death when reaching a fatal Realm, the outcome would be uncertain.
"Good, good..." Xuan Yuan said, "That's good. I'll state it again: according to our previous agreement, after we refine the Medicinal Pills, each of you gets two, and I get four. Do you all have any objections?"
"No objections!" White Dragon was the first to express his stance.
He Pingsheng and the Cultivator Zi Xian also nodded, indicating no objections.
After all, Xuan Yuan Chang Geng discovered this item. Also, refining Medicinal Pills doesn't just require this one Mist Divinity Flower; other types of Materials also need to be prepared.
Xuan Yuan was responsible for all of these.
It was reasonable for him to take four Medicinal Pills.
Xuan Yuan said, "Now that Qin Mingyue is gone, her share is two Medicinal Pills. These two Medicinal Pills will be comprehensively evaluated and their ownership determined later based on how much effort each of you contributes when dealing with the Yao Beast!"
"Everyone, follow me!"
Whoosh...
Xuan Yuan Chang Geng flew into the sky on his sword.
The three streaks of sword light behind him naturally followed closely.
He Pingsheng didn't know where the destination was, but seeing the Cultivation Realm of these people, he wasn't afraid.
He still had some trump cards on him. Even if Xuan Yuan had a scheme, he wasn't afraid.
Firstly, he was immune to all poisons. Secondly, he had many Talismans that could deal with Foundation Establishment Stage Disciples. Moreover, due to his powerful Divine Thought, the time it took to activate a Talisman had been greatly reduced; he could do it in a single breath.
In such circumstances, he naturally wasn't afraid of Xuan Yuan.
Xuan Yuan Chang Geng, leading the way, secretly increased his flying speed.
His speed grew faster and faster, attempting to widen the distance between himself and the others.
It wasn't that he was deliberately showing off his strong Cultivation Realm, but rather using this to determine who among the three behind him was the strongest.
Don't underestimate the speed of sword flight.
The faster the speed, the stronger the Divine Thought, and at the same time, the deeper the Magic Power.
These two are indispensable.
And when these two aspects are strong, the combat power naturally cannot be bad.
Whoosh...
Whoosh whoosh...
The three people behind naturally dared not fall too far behind, each desperately increasing their speed.
Gradually, the hunched old man, White Dragon, was the first to fall behind.
After another half an hour, the Cultivator named Zi Xian also fell behind.
Finally, only He Pingsheng could keep up with Xuan Yuan in front.
"Good lad!" Xuan Yuan smiled and thought to himself, "This fellow is indeed powerful. A mere Foundation Establishment Stage Second Layer, his Divine Thought and Magic Power are almost catching up to mine!"
"I still don't believe it!"
Again...
Boom...
The surging Magic Power within Xuan Yuan's body burst forth, and his speed increased by another three tenths.
In almost one or two breaths, he could pass over a mountain Peak.
Flying all the way over mountains and ridges, the weather between heaven and earth changed frequently; sometimes it rained, sometimes it snowed, sometimes the sky was clear for thousands of miles, and sometimes dark clouds pressed down.
After flying continuously for two hours, He Pingsheng did not fall behind.
However, Xuan Yuan Chang Geng in front was almost unable to bear it.
Because the Magic Power in his body was almost exhausted.
Bang...
Xuan Yuan landed on a certain mountain Peak.
He Pingsheng followed closely and landed.
Looking back, the two people behind were still nowhere in sight.
"Fellow Daoist He's Magic Power is profound, I admire you..." Xuan Yuan smiled and sat cross-legged on the ground, saying, "They two will probably need some more time to arrive. To prevent them from getting lost, let's wait here for a while!"
He said 'wait', but it was actually Xuan Yuan Chang Geng himself who couldn't bear it anymore.
He secretly swallowed a Medicinal Pill and began to refine it.
As for He Pingsheng.
After the previous struggle, his three Dantians were already exhausted.
That's right!
He wasn't as relaxed as he appeared.
Xuan Yuan was shocked by his profound Magic Power, and He Pingsheng likewise envied the large Dantian of a Foundation Establishment Stage Peak Cultivator.
Good heavens, your one Dantian is equivalent to my three.
The key is that my Dantian is much larger than that of Cultivators at the same Realm.
This also made He Pingsheng clearly see the gap between himself and high-level Cultivators.
No wonder he couldn't defeat Feng Daogu back then.
He Pingsheng took out a drop of sacred fluid and swallowed it in one gulp.
After a few breaths, his three Dantians, which had been depleted, were fully restored.
The two waited for a full incense stick of time before Daoist White Dragon and Daoist Zi Xian finally arrived late.
When they landed on the mountaintop, their gazes towards He Pingsheng changed again, becoming even more reverent. Daoist White Dragon even felt fortunate, fortunate that he hadn't helped Qin Mingyue earlier.
Otherwise, who knew what would have happened now.
"Do you two need to rest?" Xuan Yuan asked them.
Daoist White Dragon asked, "Fellow Daoist Xuan Yuan, how much further is it?"
Xuan Yuan said, "It's still quite far. The distance we've traveled is less than one-third!"
"Alright!" White Dragon said, "May we two rest a little more here?"
He Pingsheng said, "No need to rest... Everyone, let's get on the boat!"
With a bang, he unfurled the Chuan Yun Boat he carried with him.
The Chuan Yun Boat was a top-grade Magical Artifact with four layers of Restrictions.
If driven by Spirit Stones, although its flying speed couldn't compare to a Foundation Establishment Stage Disciple flying on a sword, it was much faster than an ordinary paper crane.
Moreover, this Chuan Yun Boat was very large, a full ten feet long, enough for four people to stand or ride on it.
"Good, good, good... Thank you, Fellow Daoist!" White Dragon landed on the Chuan Yun Boat and immediately sat cross-legged: "This humble Daoist will rest first!"
