The Great Martial Saint!

The fourth-tier longevity pills are rare and extremely valuable. Chen Ping'an categorized them and put them away properly.

Besides the Longevity Pill, the two Spirit Clarity Pills are also quite remarkable. They can be stored in a treasury as part of a power's foundation, available for exchange. They can also be used in the Celestial-Human Trade, serving as core resources to acquire desired materials.

Among martial arts masters, there is a need to nurture and support younger generations. Elixirs that can enhance breakthroughs and improve the chances of ascending to the highest level are always in high demand.

Especially for those sects whose lineage is declining and who are anxious about the succession of the next generation, such items are simply the foundation that determines the rise and fall of the sect.

Even a celestial cultivator has a need to gather spiritual items to aid their bloodline descendants and younger generations in breaking through to higher realms.

However, most cultivators at the Celestial Realm level have connections with high-level alchemists and might not go to great lengths for such items. But if the opportunity arises, they are not reluctant to make a deal.

In addition, there is the Divine Soul Secret Pill, which can be used to enhance burst damage. Its grade is roughly equivalent to the one traded with the Gu family. After acquiring this pill, Chen Ping'an will have a much wider range of methods for unleashing burst damage.

Even at his current level, the burst of power brought by a single Divine Soul Secret Pill should not be underestimated.

Like a seasoned second-realm celestial being, after consuming the Divine Soul Secret Pill, although he might not be able to cross realms and launch a counterattack, his combat power would definitely surpass most of those in the same realm.

Even a second-realm Celestial being like Master Gu, who is not good at killing, may not be weaker than a perfect second-realm Celestial being by using the Divine Soul Secret Pill and other powerful methods and treasures.

Furthermore, they have other trump cards to protect them, so it's not impossible for them to escape unscathed from the hands of the Celestial Master.

The only difference is the amount of money spent.

Compared to the previous items, the remaining Rejuvenation Pill is considerably less valuable, but it is still an extremely rare item for ordinary celestial beings. For example, Ying Congyun's sole purpose in scheming was to obtain a Rejuvenation Pill. If he were injured, his true essence would be depleted, and his spirit would be exhausted, he could take this pill to restore his combat ability to the greatest extent possible.

In such dangerous situations, this precious pill can be used to save lives; this is no joke.

Chen Ping'an possesses an astonishing physique and terrifying endurance, so his need for Rejuvenation Pills isn't particularly high. However, it's never a bad thing to always carry one or two with him.

Compared to the Rejuvenating Elixir, he was more concerned about the bottle of Ice Soul Cold Water, which was served in a crystal jade bottle like a bottle of sweet dew.

The moment the bottle cap was opened, a chilling cold emanated from it, and the surrounding temperature dropped by several degrees Celsius in an instant. Moreover, as time went on, it continued to plummet.

"As expected of the Ice Soul Cold Water, its mere dispersion is so powerful. If it were to directly permeate the soul, it might affect the spirit."

Looking at the emanating chilling aura, Chen Ping'an was in a good mood and quite satisfied.

The deep-sea realm formed by the icy, frigid waters is unbearable even for a celestial cultivator. Such coldness will soon cause numbness in the limbs, stagnation of qi and blood, and even severely affect the soul and true essence, making them extremely sluggish.

This feeling reminded him of that ice jade hairpin.

This chill is quite similar in its effect!

"Could there be some connection between these things?" Chen Ping'an wondered. "And what about that silver-haired girl?"

However, he soon stopped speculating about it, sealed the bottle cap, and properly stored the bottle of Ice Soul Cold Water.

His initial perception was primarily for examination and detailed verification; he would take further action later when he had more free time.

If he weren't worried about some loose ends left behind and some hard-to-detect traces, he probably would have already returned to Beishan Pass. Why would he stay here any longer?
All the pills were in good condition, and Chen Ping'an's gaze fell on the last acquisition, a fiery red flying boat.

This flying boat was exquisitely crafted. It appeared before Chen Ping'an like a red leaf, fiery red, as if dyed by a rosy sunset.

hum~
Chen Ping'an's soul rippled, and the flying boat slowly circled, then suddenly swelled, transforming into a size of several zhang.

This size is not the ultimate for an airship, but it is just right for sensing and inspection.

Although he had only just begun to learn and had not yet truly refined the flying boat, Chen Ping'an had gained a basic understanding of it.

The largest flying boat can reach twenty zhang (approximately 33 meters) in size, and has two levels with detailed divisions and cabins that can be arranged according to one's own preferences.

Perhaps considering the need for alchemy during the journey, this flying boat is not small in size.

However, when traveling normally, it can be like a small boat, carrying one person, which is also when the escape light is at its fastest.

The situation should be as it was in ancient times.

The flying boat was quite large, and Chen Ping'an sensed it with great detail. His divine soul was vast, and although he was only at the sixth level of the Piercing Rainbow Realm, his foundation was not necessarily inferior to that of a Celestial Realm cultivator.

Some covert methods are also difficult to hide from his eyes.

This harvest was incredibly rich. Master Gu's nearly one million crystals in earnings, along with the earnings from Cangjian, Shen Linyuan, Zhenyue, and Hongfeng, all easily exceeded two million crystals.

Of course, most of the gains are not cash flow, but they are definitely hard currency that is even more cash flow-like than cash flow.

In terms of cash flow, this gain, plus what he had on him, comes to roughly 400,000 to no more than 500,000 yuan.

But when all his assets are taken into account, they are extremely terrifying.

Even excluding invaluable treasures like the Dream Pearl, his current net worth is definitely over three million yuan crystals.

Three million!
Among martial arts masters, this is an extremely eye-catching sum of money.

Even among those at the highest level of cultivation, a significant number may not possess such a terrifying amount of wealth.

Although the Celestial Beings are more capable and have more channels for acquiring resources, accumulating such a fortune is by no means an easy task.

Even with the help of a sect's resources, it might not alleviate the burden too much.

After all, the relationship between cultivators and sects has never been one of mutual assistance. Apart from a few exceptional talents who receive extra resources from their sects, most cultivators believe in the balance between obligations and rights, and between responsibility and reward.

Even the most outstanding talents, once they rise to prominence, must give back to the sect to a certain extent in order to maintain the sect's normal operation.

Furthermore, martial arts cultivation, reaching the Celestial Realm, requires an enormous amount of resources. It's not simply about accumulating gains without any expenditure.

Even if a Celestial Realm cultivator possessed such a vast fortune, most of it would likely be tied up in protective treasures and life-saving trump cards.

It is not like Chen Ping'an's extra resources that can be flexibly monetized.

Just like that kind of wealth, although it is wealth, it is more of a number, and it is difficult to use it to plan for corresponding things.

Three million.

Chen Ping'an's gaze was calm as he meticulously sensed the flying boat before him.

Three million crystals was just a rough estimate; the actual value would only be known after the sale. Furthermore, the value of some spiritual items fluctuates and is not static; this was merely a general range.

While cultivators in the Profound Light Realm were still fighting tooth and nail for a few Yuan Crystals, he already possessed enormous wealth and looked down upon the world.

In the past, even as a high-ranking official, his wealth, despite all his careful planning, amounted to only a few hundred or a few thousand yuan crystals. But now, tens of thousands of yuan crystals are readily available to him.

Even if it were hundreds of thousands of yuan worth of crystals, it wouldn't be impossible for him to do it if he wanted to.

The differences were so stark, it was as if I were in a dream.

The world's diversity is beyond compare.

In the past, when Princess Bicang came of age, some powerful figures presented her with a formidable divine weapon as a congratulatory gift, which was quite a respectable addition among the many congratulatory presents.

This matter remained in his heart for a long time, especially the feelings he had when he first heard about it, which he found unforgettable.

But without realizing it
He has grown to this level.

If he wanted to, he could easily hold a similar ceremony for Er Ya, with the same grandeur and scale, which might not be much inferior to the original.

If he were to reveal his true combat prowess, the grand occasion of his only younger sister's coming-of-age ceremony would likely surpass even that.

However, Er Ya had already come of age, so such a thing was obviously unfounded.

But perhaps.
This is the meaning of growth.

People who were once just rumors are now appearing in reality. People we've only heard about can actually live in our lives and our paths cross.

Princess Bicang, whom I first heard of, is a member of the royal family, a descendant of a noble lineage, holding a high and unapproachable position.

But not long ago, the other party had a conversation with him, promising him great benefits and obtaining his promise.

That bright, youthful look seems so vivid in my mind. And that "Uncle" still lingers in my ears like a gentle whisper.

Chen Ping'an's thoughts shifted, and the detection of the Red Leaf Flying Boat in front of him indicated that the progress was already more than halfway complete. This time, in addition to all the resources, he also obtained more than a dozen Thousand-Machine Bags, many of which were of high quality, and the storage space was extremely abundant.

The Thousand-Machine Bag, which was once a treasured possession of a grandmaster family, has now become something that can be obtained at will.

These exquisite pieces are of considerable value.

When all the numbers are put together, it's not a small amount.

Taking stock of his past gains, he now possesses nearly twenty Thousand-Machine Bags. They're good for categorizing things, but the sheer number makes them rather inconvenient.

"The Magic Bag." Chen Ping'an's gaze sharpened slightly, his thoughts drifting away.

Unfortunately, even highly experienced Celestials like Cangjian and Zhenyue in the second realm have never been equipped with a Myriad Spirit Bag.

The Myriad Spirit Bag is extremely rare, and its value is no less than that of ordinary treasures, and may even surpass them.

However, unlike precious treasures which are essential, even a celestial cultivator might not necessarily possess all of them.

The specific choice depends on actual needs and a comprehensive consideration of cost-effectiveness.

The expenditure of hundreds of thousands of crystals is not a small amount, even for a Celestial Master.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some martial arts masters with extremely deep roots have such equipment when they first enter the realm of masters, but that is an extra category and is not included in the regular calculation.

However, with this gain, Chen Ping'an now has many more things to plan.

Although the Magic Bag is precious, he would immediately trade and purchase it as long as there is a suitable channel.

His possessions are becoming increasingly diverse, and he's been exposed to higher and higher levels of knowledge. Without high-level storage items, he feels uneasy. If he encounters someone skilled in sensing techniques, he'll have absolutely no privacy.

For someone like him with multiple identities, a lack of security is unacceptable.

With the lessons of the past still fresh in his mind, he naturally wouldn't repeat the same mistakes.

"Myriad Spirit Bag, True Skill Scroll, Ice Soul Spiritual Object, Heavy Water and Cold Water, Top-Tier Treasures"

Chen Ping'an's thoughts shifted, and the things he planned and scheming emerged one by one in his mind.

Although the transaction was successful and the desired items were obtained, the needs did not stop there.

In addition, I also gained some secret techniques from this experience. When I have time, I will study them in detail, as they can serve as resources for my cultivation.

In addition, there are some miscellaneous books that he wants to read and digest, but he needs time to process them.

There is still a lot to be done.

He'll be busy for a while if he wants to fully digest and absorb it, turning it into a foundation.

This move gave him a clearer understanding of his own combat capabilities.

The Qingyang Blood Refinement, in its final stage of the third refinement, involves physical strength that, from an outsider's perspective, would fall into the category of major cultivation.

He could defeat highly experienced Celestials like Cangjian and Zhenyue Zhong, who were at the second level of cultivation, relatively easily. However, killing them would require some effort.

The specific circumstances depend on the actual situation, such as the cultivation method, secret techniques, and the environment at the scene.

Each situation is different.

Such combat power, even if not as great as a true master cultivator, is probably not far off.

This
This is not his full fighting strength.

All the methods have yet to be used, such as the Ice Jade Hairpin, the Evil Extreme Eye, and the Deep Sea Pearl. The Seven Deadly Forbidden Techniques, the Mystic Bloodline, and even the Three-Part Return to Origin have not been employed.

And then there's the true essence, the Dream Pearl, with its three divine wonders: Bewitching, Distortion, and Glowing Light!
If they were to exert their full strength and use all their methods, then such combat power would be formidable.
What heights will it reach!?
Chen Ping'an's face revealed ambition, and his heart was filled with boundless pride.

Although he has not yet achieved the Great Cultivation Realm, nor has he reached perfection in the Second Realm, his combat strength has definitely reached the Great Cultivation level. In some aspects, he has even surpassed it.

另外
Chen Ping'an's gaze sharpened, and the specific information about the Azure Sun Blood Refinement appeared before his eyes.

The Azure Sun Blood Refining Technique, third refinement, is nearing completion!
With the Crimson Sun Golden Fruit, his last piece was complete. Under the influence of fire essence, his bloodline mutated, granting him the ultimate power of true blood!

hum~
Before Chen Ping'an's thoughts had even settled, a flash of inspiration struck him, and a dark red mark appeared beneath the cabin of the flying boat in front of him. Then, under the shock of his divine soul, it turned into wisps of red smoke and dissipated into the air.

"Tracing the Imprint!"

Chen Ping'an's voice was calm, but a hint of coldness appeared on his face.

This Master Gu truly has some impressive skills!

If it weren't for his solid foundation, deep knowledge, and meticulous investigation, he wouldn't have been able to discover the other party's methods at all.

A very well-hidden tracking mark was left on this airship. Its general location can be vaguely sensed within a certain range.

"Old dog, you really want to!"

Clearly, Master Gu has suffered a great loss of face today and does not intend to let the matter rest. He outwardly cooperates, but secretly harbors ulterior motives.

I'm afraid that once they've settled down, they'll want to use their connections to get revenge.

That's incredibly bold!
One defeat wasn't enough!

Chen Ping'an remained calm and used his divine soul power to erase the mark.

In fact, if he hadn't been concerned about the impact on his original body and worried about being exposed, he really intended to leave this mark to see what kind of powerful reinforcements that ancient dog could summon!
Once he has completed the three refinements and mastered body tempering, he will not be afraid even if a celestial cultivator personally comes to him.

They are even eager to fight!
But ultimately, the public impact must be considered; the identity of the alias cannot be exposed, and it absolutely cannot be associated with the "Mangdao" (a martial arts technique).

Even if there are mistakes, try to delay the process as much as possible to give yourself more room to develop.

This mark was left discreetly, using a subtle technique, with no noticeable fluctuations. Correspondingly, the tracking and positioning were not very precise, only providing a vague sense.

Regardless, this is a risk for him, and it's best to eliminate it as soon as possible.

hum~
Chen Ping'an's soul rippled, and the black and white intent stirred. The wisps of red smoke that had been rising were completely annihilated in the air and disappeared without a trace.

Chen Ping'an remained calm, his eyes deep. After discovering the markings and traces on the flying boat, his examination became even more thorough.

Even after checking it thoroughly once, he checked it twice more to make sure there were no mistakes before he felt relieved.

Out of consideration for past influences, and for any oversights, he went through the resource spirits he had previously checked with his divine senses again.

If you want your identity to be stable and avoid any mistakes, don't be afraid of trouble.

After re-inspecting all the supplies and confirming that there were no problems, Chen Ping'an's expression relaxed slightly.

Staying here to take inventory instead of going straight back to Beishan was undoubtedly the right choice.

If they went back directly, even with a perfect disguise, they could still be traced back to him through the clues. At that point, all their disguises would be exposed without them even noticing. All their efforts would have been in vain.

Indeed, when you're out and about, you can never be too careful. A moment of carelessness can lead to a mistake that's hard to recover from.

Learn from your mistakes; every detail that follows requires special attention.

Chen Ping'an's emotions shifted, his gaze narrowed slightly, and he reviewed the gains and losses of this experience.

At this point, with all supplies in perfect order, he could finally relax.

With his current spiritual foundation, even a Grandmaster cultivator would find it difficult to avoid flaws after repeated checks. Let alone someone like Gu, in this situation, there's no need to worry.

"It's time to go back to Beishan. However..."
Before that!

Chen Ping'an's gaze sharpened slightly, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, and something appeared before him.

The sun shone brightly, its light as red as a fist.

Crimson Sun Golden Fruit! (End of Chapter)
