Chapter 594 Harvest from the Secret Realm, The Thoughts of Heaven and Man (Thanks to ﹏So丶灬Low-keyˉ for the generous donation, 13 extra chapters)

hum~
In a flash of inspiration, a number of bottles and jars appeared in front of Chen Ping'an.

With a flick of his sleeve, his true essence flowed, and the spiritual spring water, as if alive, rose from the bottom and poured into the bottles and jars in front of him.

The sacred spring is precious; how could he leave it lying around?

The Holy Maiden of Tianluo, being of noble birth, wouldn't even look down on these spiritual springs, but he cherished them dearly.

Besides aiding in cultivation, restoring true essence, and nourishing spirituality, these spiritual spring waters can also be used as auxiliary materials for refining elixirs and forging divine weapons. Furthermore, they are also needed for brewing fine spiritual wines.

Nourished by the primordial energy of heaven and earth, the efficacy of this spiritual spring water surpasses that of ordinary thousand-year-old cold pool water and mysterious ice water.

It is said that the Snow Spirit Leaf of Snow God Palace was nourished by the millennia-old Xuanbing Water from the Great Snow Mountain.

Many grandmasters have died at Chen Ping'an's hands, so he naturally has no shortage of storage bags. He also has a lot of bottles, jars, wooden boxes, and jade boxes.

It's still enough to hold all this nearly empty spring water.

It didn't take long for Chen Ping'an to clean up all the spiritual spring water.

As the spiritual spring water disappeared, the thin mist that had been swirling around it also quickly vanished.

Chen Ping'an calculated that he had filled dozens of bottles and jars of various shapes and sizes with the spiritual spring water. Among them were many small urns.

All things considered, the value of these spiritual spring waters is probably at least several thousand yuan crystals!
"Not bad!"

Making another profit put Chen Ping'an in a very good mood.

This chance encounter led me to this secret place, and aside from the slight flaw in the shared damage mechanism with the Heavenly Luo Saintess, I have reaped a bountiful harvest.

Leaving aside the spiritual spring water he had just acquired, he also obtained a Dream Pearl of unknown grade in the inner palace space, as well as a scroll of dual cultivation techniques, the Yin-Yang Pivot of the Inverted Phoenix and the Yin-Yang Pivot!

The fact that this dual cultivation technique could be placed in the inner palace space by the Purple-Eyed Demon Lord, alongside the Great Luo Heart Sutra, clearly indicates that it is no ordinary item.

Its quality is probably even higher than that of ordinary True Skill Scrolls!
Whether used for personal cultivation or traded when one's strength is sufficient, it would be an extremely lucrative gain.

As for whether to cultivate or trade, Chen Ping'an will need to study it further before making a decision.

However, in principle, with the cheat-like panel at his disposal, as long as this dual cultivation technique doesn't have any major hidden dangers or drawbacks, he will definitely cultivate it.

However, what slightly bothered him was that, in normal cultivation, he would circulate his inner energy and train his body through the body to build up proficiency and accumulate experience in cultivating the technique.

If it's a dual cultivation technique, then how should he practice it to accumulate proficiency?

It can't be
This matter will be answered later; there's no rush to address it now.

Besides the dual cultivation technique and the Dream Pearl, Chen Ping'an also squeezed the Heavenly Luo Saintess out of money by exchanging a veil and a sachet.

The black iron mask he obtained in exchange for the veil was no ordinary item.

According to the Holy Maiden of Tianluo, the value of this Black Xuan Iron Mask far surpasses that of top-tier divine weapons and is no less than that of ordinary treasures.

Great treasure!

Above the top-tier divine weapons, they are called treasures!
Compared to top-tier divine weapons, they often possess even greater power and supernatural abilities.

Treasures of this caliber are normally not something a grandmaster could possess.

However, it cannot be ruled out that some grandmasters with great fortune and prosperity might possess such treasures. Furthermore, those prodigies and grandmasters from prestigious sects might also possess treasures of this caliber.

Furthermore, those Grandmasters who rank high on the Popularity Ranking might also possess such items.

Normally, most grandmasters use quasi-divine weapons as their main weapons, while some grandmasters who have accumulated experience over a long period of time, or those from better family backgrounds, will have divine weapons to protect them.

Upon reaching the mid-stage of the Jade Balance realm and becoming a senior grandmaster, one may acquire a second divine weapon. At the level of a top grandmaster, possessing two or three divine weapons is commonplace, unless one is exceptionally poor.

Some top masters who are lucky and have a deep foundation may possess powerful divine weapons.

As for those at the Grandmaster level, powerful divine weapons are standard equipment. Top Grandmasters who have been famous for many years may even possess the finest examples of powerful divine weapons.

However, regardless of the level of a Grandmaster, top-tier divine weapons are still rare items.

Generally, only those whose combat power reaches the level of a supreme grandmaster can possess top-tier divine weapons.

But this is only a possibility.

Some supreme masters who do not prioritize weapons, or who lack sufficient foundation, may not possess top-tier divine weapons.

To reliably possess top-tier divine weapons, one must at least be at a level of combat power similar to that of a Grandmaster in the game.

As for possessing two top-tier divine weapons together.
Without some foundation and experience, don't even think about it.

Only those grandmasters whose combat power reaches the top of the Grandmaster Ranking have a slight chance!
To truly possess it, one would normally be a Grandmaster on the Popularity Ranking.

Of course, this situation is a normal setup for someone who is working alone and comes from an ordinary family background.

Those who are direct descendants of powerful clans and noble families, or the holy sons and daughters of major sects and their core secrets, are not included in this list.

According to Chen Ping'an's knowledge, Ji Changkong, one of the contemporary prodigies of the Bi Cang County Prince's Mansion, although he has not yet entered the Grandmaster realm, has more than one top-tier divine weapon on his body!
In general, for grandmasters, top-tier divine weapons are extremely precious items, serving as protective objects in life-or-death battles.

As for the treasures that surpass even the top-tier divine weapons, they are truly rare and hard to come by!

It is not something that ordinary grandmasters can achieve.

Even if a grandmaster obtains a powerful treasure for protection by chance, if their cultivation method is ordinary and their foundation is insufficient, they may not be able to unleash the treasure's miraculous power.

However, the Black Iron Mask that Chen Ping'an obtained is probably not a truly valuable treasure. The Black Iron Mask is primarily designed for support, rather than being a treasure for attack, confinement, or suppression.

In terms of value, it may be similar to a priceless treasure. However, in terms of utility, there should still be some differences.

If we had to categorize it, it would be a top-tier divine weapon, or perhaps a near-treasure!
It doesn't deserve the title of a precious treasure!

If it were truly a priceless treasure, the Holy Maiden of Heavenly Net would not have allowed him to succeed so easily.

Even if there is an eventual exchange, it will definitely be one for two, not like now, where this black iron mask is exchanged for her veil.

But no matter what, Chen Ping'an made a huge profit from this transaction!
However, the Holy Maiden of Tianluo might not be considered to have lost out. She may have lost some resources, but she gained emotionally!
A black veil used to cover the face is, by any measure, an intimate item. It would be unsettling to think of such an item falling into the hands of someone else.

Being able to exchange them back while both sides were still on relatively friendly terms was a rare opportunity for the Holy Maiden of Tianluo.

If we don't seize this window of opportunity, when will we?
Chen Ping'an guessed that this black iron mask was very likely one of the treasures that the Heavenly Luo Saintess obtained in the Demon Lord's secret land.

I didn't feel so bad about trading what I just got.

Furthermore, as the current Holy Maiden of the Tianluo Sect and the number one prodigy in nearly three thousand years, the Holy Maiden of Tianluo is not like him, who was penniless and had to strive for everything himself.

They probably wouldn't care about such a small amount. Besides the veil transaction, Chen Ping'an also traded rare resources, including millennium-old stone milk and explosive Yuan True Pills, through the sachet.

The Millennium Stone Milk can enhance and restore spirituality, far surpassing the effects of the Heavenly Purification Water Chen Ping'an previously used. Furthermore, consuming the Millennium Stone Milk during combat can effectively increase stamina. In situations where spiritual energy surges, it can also help boost spirituality, thereby enhancing the power of secret techniques.

Overall, the millennium-old stalactite is considered an extremely superior spiritual object. Besides being used to restore spirituality, it can also be considered a means to unleash spirituality.

From a cost-effectiveness perspective, using millennia-old stalactite to unleash spiritual power might seem like a waste. However, from a practical standpoint, in a life-or-death situation, every bit of power is invaluable, and who cares about whether it's a waste or not?

As for the Bursting Essence True Pill, as the name suggests, its main function is to unleash true essence; it is a type of explosive pill. Its value far surpasses that of the Blood Burning Great Pill that Chen Ping'an received back then.

Qi and blood, true essence, spirituality.
It occupies a middle position in the hierarchy of burst gain types.

In addition, there are many rare elixirs, some used for healing wounds and others for detoxification.

These are all things that Chen Ping'an urgently needs.

The Heavenly Maiden's veil was replaced by a black iron mask, and as for the sachet, he was completely unaware of spiritual restrictions and could not use it at all.

For him, exchanging the two would be the optimal solution.

In this transaction, he really got a taste of the Heavenly Luo Saintess's power.

After collecting the spiritual spring water, Chen Ping'an looked around to check if he had missed anything.

"Qu Feiyan"

Chen Ping'an's eyes flashed, and in a flash, he left the place.

Although he was reluctant to admit it, the Holy Maiden of Tianluo, who had shared the dream with him, had very likely already discovered his true identity.

Although the images in dreams are different from those in reality, they still have many things in common.

Furthermore, the name in the dream is his real name, just like Qu Feiyan's name in the dream.

Name, appearance.
With these two important pieces of information, if the Holy Maiden of Tianluo investigates carefully, she will surely be able to trace it back to him.

The only thing we can hope for now is that he has a cheat-like panel to disguise himself, which allows him to present different disguise effects based on differences in cultivation level, thereby revealing different auras.

His true aura and the aura he manifested in the dream were completely different.

This matter might cause the Holy Maiden of Tianluo to have doubts and find it difficult to be certain. She might even suspect that it was the old monster's doing and scheming.

But no matter what Tianluo Saintess speculates, given her personality, if she were to encounter him elsewhere, she would most likely, without considering the consequences, take him down first.

They share the same name and similar appearance, yet their auras are completely different.
Regardless of whether Chen Ping'an is an old monster or not, taking him down is never a bad thing!

If Chen Ping'an reveals his true combat strength during the process, his identity will be exposed without any further investigation!

Even more surprisingly, the Holy Maiden of Tianluo might bring her elder protectors and come directly to our door!
Whether it is or not, a simple test will tell!
Thinking of this, Chen Ping'an suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of urgency.

"With my abilities, I might be able to handle the prodigies of my generation with ease, but if I were to encounter the older generation of prodigies, the outcome would be unpredictable!"

"Not strong enough! Still not strong enough!"

The only saving grace is the existence of the shared damage mechanism, so things might not be so bad yet.

At least, it hasn't reached that point yet.

Just as he did not want the Holy Maiden of Tianluo to die, the Holy Maiden of Tianluo also did not want him to die!
If someone were to come to her with matters like bringing along a senior protector, it's highly unlikely that the Holy Maiden of Heavenly Net would do so without absolute trust.

After all, both the Demon Lord's Secret Treasure and the Dream Pearl are extremely rare and precious opportunities.

Under such temptations, it's hard to guarantee that those so-called guardian elders won't harbor thoughts of taking it for themselves.

Even if that's not the case, they might still have other ideas.

Driven by greed, people's hearts are hard to fathom!
Not to mention within the Demonic Cult.

Although Qu Feiyan holds a superior position among the younger generation of the Tianluo Sect, she is not without other competitors.

In such circumstances, even disregarding the element of chance, the mere existence of a shared damage mechanism is enough to make Qu Feiyan think twice.

The exposure of the shared damage mechanism is definitely not what Qu Feiyan wanted to see.

Human nature is unpredictable. Within the Demonic Sect, relationships are intricately intertwined, and factions vie for power. Given the opportunity, those who wish to manipulate the current Holy Maiden might...
There are quite a lot!

The demise of saints and the fall of fairies are not things that only happen in biographies and historical anecdotes.

Qu Feiyan's ability to rise step by step within the Tianluo Sect to where she is today is a testament to the cunning and ruthless schemes she has witnessed, which is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

It can be said that with the shared damage mechanism in place, Chen Ping'an is the Achilles' heel of the Heavenly Luo Saintess.

Who would expose their vital points if it were not a matter of life and death?

Having obtained the Great Luo Heart Sutra and numerous treasures from the Demon Lord's secret treasury, her future looks incredibly bright. Under such circumstances, why would she expose herself and put herself in a disadvantageous position?
Even if Qu Feiyan wanted to control Chen Ping'an, she would have come herself, not seek out a senior protector.

Reality is not a novel. Even within a demonic cult, it is difficult to have complete trust from even one's master.

Everyone has their own calculations; that's the norm here!
Even with a very close relationship, there will still be some reservations.

After a comprehensive analysis, Chen Ping'an's anxiety eased somewhat.

However, his personality has never led him to place his hopes on others or entrust his expectations to them.

To truly be as stable as a mountain, one still needs to be strong enough on their own!

Only with sufficient power can one cope with any risk!
"Harmony between Heaven and Man, Martial Arts of Heaven and Man!"

Chen Ping'an's figure shot forward, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

Furthermore, he is the Achilles' heel of the Heavenly Net Saintess, but isn't the Heavenly Net Saintess also his Achilles' heel?

To be honest, he didn't want the Holy Maiden of Tianluo to suffer any harm.

His sincerity was more genuine than anyone else's.

at least
He truly believed this until he had broken free from the shared damage mechanism or pushed his physique to its limit.

"Qu Feiyan, please don't let anything happen to you!"
