A quarter of an hour later.

"The remnants of the Song family and the Shui Ze Sect!!"

After thoroughly searching through Haojun's entire memory, the silver-haired elder's eyes suddenly erupted with the most intense killing intent.

In an instant, the aura around him surged and rose frantically, an immense spiritual pressure, as if materialized, swept over the entire Thousand Leaves Mountain like a raging tsunami.

The gust of wind created by this spiritual pressure formed a violent hurricane, the roaring sound deafening.

On Thousand Leaves Mountain, those precious Spirit Plants and Spirit Medicines, under the rampage of this hurricane, their branches and leaves clashed against each other, emitting a dense "rustling" sound.

From Haojun's memory, the silver-haired elder had already confirmed that Xu Ping did not lie.

Indeed, Song Fei colluded with the remnants of the Shui Ze Sect to assassinate Yang Hong.

However, this was essentially a mistaken attack, as their real target was actually Xu Ping.

"Is this the terrifying power of a cultivator at the peak of the Middle Stage of the Golden Core?"

Nearby, Xu Ping was facing this powerful spiritual pressure directly, sweating slightly, and was greatly shocked in his heart.

Even before making a move, the imposing power was already terrifying; once fully unleashed, its power would surely surpass even that of the Third-rank Middle Grade talisman, the Golden Armor-Breaking Talisman.

Unless he could construct a Three-Talents Talisman Array with the Golden Armor-Breaking Talisman, it was impossible to harm the opponent.

"Phew!"

Moments later, the silver-haired elder quickly resumed his composure, and the surging aura around him gradually began to recede.

He turned his gaze back to Xu Ping, his previously stern expression softened considerably, and his tone became gentle: "Thank you, Young Friend Xu, for telling the truth. If it weren't for you, my Luoyun Sect might still be in the dark."

Although Yang Hong was harmed due to Xu Ping, the perpetrator was Song Fei and the remnants of the Shui Ze Sect, filled with hatred.

He wouldn't irrationally transfer his anger to Xu Ping.

"Senior is too kind. Song Fei has also set his sights on me; I did this only for self-preservation."

Xu Ping replied humbly and respectfully, "Now that Song Fei is a Golden Core Cultivator, it's truly difficult for me to contend with him. In desperation, I could only seek assistance from the Luoyun Sect."

"Song Fei dared to kill an outer elder of my Luoyun Sect; I will tear him to pieces and grind his bones to dust!" The silver-haired elder's words were icy, exuding endless killing intent.

"With your intervention, Senior, Song Fei is like a cricket in autumn, not jumping around for many days." Xu Ping timely flattered.

"Young Friend Xu is not simple either. Your technique for concealing your cultivation is wonderfully ingenious.

It seems that most Fake Pill cultivators can't perceive your true cultivation, and it's no wonder you could see through Haojun's disguise." The silver-haired elder spoke with profound eyes, his words filled with significance.

Hearing this, a slight bitter smile appeared on Xu Ping's face: "Senior's insight is as sharp as a torch, nothing can be hidden from you.

My humble means are really nothing to mention in front of you, Senior."

Knowing that the other could see through his true cultivation, Xu Ping didn't feel particularly surprised nor worried about it.

After all, having reached the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment at his age was considered exceptionally gifted among cultivators.

But compared to his identity as a Third-stage Talisman Master, it seemed less remarkable.

"Young Friend Xu should not be overly modest. In my view, your aura is profound and dense, with mana immensely abundant, beyond what ordinary Late-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators can compare to." The silver-haired elder smiled slightly, his eyes bearing some admiration.

Before Xu Ping could respond, the silver-haired elder continued, "If Young Friend Xu has nothing else, then I will take Haojun back to the Luoyun Sect and further interrogate him to see if I can extract more information about Song Fei."

"Please wait, Senior."

Xu Ping hurriedly stopped the silver-haired elder who was preparing to leave and spoke with a face full of respect, "Junior does have one more matter to trouble Senior with..."

Then, Xu Ping recounted his intention to purchase the Spirit Vein of Purple Bamboo Mountain in full detail.

"This is not a difficult matter."

After listening to Xu Ping, the silver-haired elder's expression remained calm, nodding indifferently, "After I return to the sect, I will arrange for someone to come and sign a Spirit Contract with Young Friend Xu."

A Second-stage Spirit Vein is nothing significant to the entire Luoyun Sect.

Given the current situation, it's just as well to sell it.

"Thank you, Senior!" Joy flashed in Xu Ping's eyes, and he immediately thanked with respect.

Given the elder's status and position in the Luoyun Sect, this matter should be secure.

"I wonder what the price of the Spirit Vein of Purple Bamboo Mountain is approximately, so that I can make preparations and gather the Spirit Stones in advance." Xu Ping carefully inquired.

"About thirty thousand Spirit Stones." The silver-haired elder provided a price similar to Yang Hong's previous estimate.

Upon hearing this offer, a huge burden in Xu Ping's heart was finally relieved, and he fully relaxed.

Thus, he once again expressed his gratitude to the silver-haired elder with utmost respect.

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

The silver-haired elder waved his hand, "If Young Friend Xu has no other matters, then I will take my leave."

"Safe travels, Senior!" This time, Xu Ping did not attempt to detain, but instead bowed respectfully.

"Hmm."

The silver-haired elder nodded slightly in acknowledgment, casually lifting the unconscious Haojun, and then employing Escape Light, transformed into a stream of light, swiftly vanishing into the distant sky.

In the vast void, only a faint afterimage lingered.

Xu Ping gazed at the vast endless sky, feeling slightly at ease in his heart.
