I'm determined to become an immortal!

"Fellow Daoist Xiang, this is the divination talisman I obtained for you. The head of the association did not have any talismans on hand, but I had to plead with him to have one drawn and given to me."

Inside the main hall, Feng Lingzi, still maintaining his mysterious demeanor, handed He Sheng a talisman shimmering with a pale golden aura.

The talisman has faint, flowing star patterns along its edges, giving it a rather mysterious appearance.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Feng."

Is there any particular significance to this talisman?

He Sheng recalled the many requirements that Feng Lingzi had mentioned for the Five Thoughts Communication Talisman that day, and couldn't help but ask another question.

"Of course there are many intricacies involved."

This talisman must also be used in a quiet, secluded place. Once the talisman paper begins to burn, the image of destiny will appear before your eyes.

If you see towering green mountains, then you naturally belong to the "Gen Earth" destiny.

If you see rivers, lakes, or seas, then it is most likely a "true water" destiny.

If you see...

As Feng Lingzi explained, he took out a jade slip and handed it to He Sheng, saying:

"This jade slip contains a detailed description of various destinies. Fellow Daoist, you may wish to read it carefully and gain some understanding before using the destiny-predicting talisman."

He Sheng accepted the jade slip and thanked him repeatedly.

This seemingly insignificant jade slip was quite important to him, allowing him to finally gain substantial access to the contents of the Qi-absorbing Divine Passage.

"It's a trivial matter, not worth mentioning."

Feng Lingzi waved his hand rather boldly and said:

"Thanks to your help, fellow Daoist, I barely managed to defeat that old bastard Jin Zhaofa. In the future, we should help each other even more."

He Sheng picked up the spirit tea and offered it to Feng Lingzi, while pondering whether he should ask Feng Lingzi for advice on matters related to Core Formation.

After all, he was completely clueless about matters related to Core Formation. Not only did the "Qinglan Water Element Technique" not mention it at all, but all the techniques in the He family's Transmission Hall, including the "Thousand-Ren Jade-Severing Technique" that he gave to He Ziyang, also made no mention of Core Formation.

That's enough.

Let's wait a bit longer. My relationship with Feng Lingzi is still quite superficial, and it would be presumptuous to ask about such a core secret as Core Formation without knowing each other well.

Even if they answer, it's hard to say whether it will affect their previous promises.

He Shengke still remembered Feng Lingzi's previous promise to help him acquire the materials for Core Formation at the next auction.

In a flash, He Sheng changed the subject, smiling as he asked:

"By the way, I heard you mention before that sinking water can be used to condense primordial heavy water. I wonder how much sinking water you have left?"

"If we only have those three hundred drops, I'm afraid it won't be enough to condense even a single drop of Primal Heavy Water?"

"Fellow Daoist, are you interested in sinking water?"

Feng Lingzi's eyes lit up, and she quickly said:

"I have a full nine hundred drops of sinking water in my hand!"

Furthermore, for a period of time afterward, I should be able to supply one or two hundred drops every few months. If you are truly interested, I can sell them all to you.

Feng Lingzi wanted to buy the Golden Jade Branch, so the more spirit stones he had on hand, the better. He really wanted to convert all the spirit stones in his possession into cash.

The two immediately began to discuss the matter, and after some bargaining, they finally agreed to pay three low-grade spirit stones for each drop of water that sinks.

He Sheng spent 27,000 low-grade spirit stones to buy all 900 drops of agarwood, and agreed to continue trading at the same price.

After the transaction was completed, Feng Lingzi, in high spirits, asked He Sheng what his plans were, seemingly wanting to invite him to go out and seek opportunities.

However, He Sheng only said that he would be going into seclusion to cultivate and refine weapons, and politely declined the offer.

After Feng Lingzi left happily with the spirit stones, He Sheng looked at the fortune-telling talisman in his hand, but didn't rush to use it. He just muttered to himself:

"This trip to Yuanxia Immortal City has been very fruitful. There is only one last thing to do, and after that, I can return home."

that night,

He Sheng quietly left the mansion. Once he reached a secluded spot, he changed his appearance and temporarily regressed his rank from weapon refiner to Foundation Establishment Great Perfection before heading towards Liu Xuanyi's residence.

Liu Xuanyi's cave dwelling was also in Tongyuanfang. He Sheng went directly to the door, and a slightly immature voice came through the phonograph:

"A passing cultivator, having heard of Fellow Daoist Liu's illustrious name, has come to pay a visit and respectfully requests that Fellow Daoist Liu meet at Juxianlou at noon tomorrow."

After leaving a message, He Sheng slipped away and hid in the shadows. Seeing the recording bell vibrate slightly, indicating that someone in the mansion had recorded the message, he turned and left.

The next day at noon, He Sheng, disguised as a young swordsman who bore a slight resemblance to Ye Shao Chen, arrived early at Ju Xian Lou and reserved a private room to wait quietly.

When there was still a quarter of an hour before noon, Liu Xuanyi indeed arrived.

"Fellow Daoist Liu, please come to Ningxiang Residence on the second floor."

As soon as Liu Xuanyi arrived downstairs, He Sheng immediately sent a telepathic message.

Liu Xuanyi lived up to Feng Lingzi's reputation for being unconventional, and he went straight upstairs.

Upon opening the door and seeing He Sheng's youthful swordsman appearance, he was momentarily stunned. However, sensing the aura of a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the Great Perfection stage emanating from He Sheng, his expression immediately became solemn, and he bowed respectfully, saying:

"Greetings, fellow Daoist. May I ask your honorable surname?"

"My surname is Yun."

"May I ask what business Fellow Daoist Yun has with me?"

"Naturally, it's something that can make Fellow Daoist Liu rich."

As he spoke, He Sheng invited Liu Xuan to sit down. After a few toasts, he took out ten magical artifacts.

These magical artifacts were taken from the He family's secret treasury, mainly consisting of mid-grade artifacts, with only one high-grade artifact.

"Fellow Daoist Liu, please take a look at this batch of magical artifacts."

He Sheng played it safe and didn't directly bring out the batch of goods from the Xiajiang branch. Instead, he used the magical artifacts from the He family's secret vault as a test.

Liu Xuan took the magical artifacts and examined them, saying only:

"What do you mean, Fellow Daoist Yun? These magical artifacts look like ordinary stuff."

"Fellow Daoist Liu, aren't you interested?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xuan chuckled and then revealed his own shortcomings:

"Fellow Daoist wishes to sell this batch of magical artifacts to me?"

However, Liu is a reseller, so this price is definitely far below the market price.

"Fellow Daoist Liu, please feel free to offer your price."

After considering it for a moment, Liu Xuan quoted a price of 190 spirit stones for a mid-grade magic weapon and 720 spirit stones for a high-grade magic weapon.

According to the market price that He Sheng learned from the Sitong Chamber of Commerce, the price Liu Xuanyi offered was only about 60% of the market price.

Clearly, Liu Xuanyi had probably guessed that there was something wrong with this batch of goods, and was desperately trying to drive down the price.

"Okay, this batch of goods will be sold at this price."

He Sheng's straightforwardness surprised Liu Xuanyi, but there was no reason for him not to do a job that would earn him spirit stones for free.

After completing the transaction with He Sheng, the two ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was quite lively.

Seeing that the banquet was nearing its end, He Sheng slowly began to speak:

"Fellow Daoist Liu, those magical artifacts were just appetizers; the real main course is yet to come."

I have many more like this; does Fellow Daoist Liu have the capacity to consume them all at once?

Upon hearing this, Liu Xuan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly replied:

"I wonder how much you mean by 'a lot,' Fellow Daoist Yun. If it is truly too much, I will need more time to gather the spirit stones."

"Around two hundred pieces."

Liu Xuan was slightly disappointed upon hearing this. He had thought it would be a big deal, but it turned out to be just goods worth 50,000 spirit stones.

He patted his chest and said with great pride:

"I, Lao Liu, dare not say more, but if it's just a mere two hundred items, I can make a cash transaction right now."

As soon as Liu Xuan finished speaking, a storage bag was slapped in front of him with a "smack".

Then the young swordsman said in a slightly high-pitched voice:

"A total of 192 mid-grade magic artifacts, 21 high-grade magic artifacts, and more than 30 low-grade magic artifacts will be given to Fellow Daoist Liu."

How about we stick with the price we just discussed?

They're even giving away over thirty low-grade magical artifacts? Is there some real deal?

Liu Xuanyi was somewhat suspicious, but after carefully scanning the magical artifact in the storage bag with his divine sense and confirming its quality, he was overjoyed and exclaimed:

"make a deal!"
