Now that the Luoyun Sect has stepped in to deal with Song Fei, it's likely Song Fei won't dare to act recklessly for the time being.

In this way, he can finally cultivate steadily for a period.

However, he still has several pressing matters to resolve at present.

Firstly, he needs to accelerate his progress in cultivating the "Spirit Silk Skill."

He must race against time to cultivate it to the Great Success Realm as soon as possible.

Only then can he successfully construct the Three-Talents Talisman Array using the "Golden Armor-Breaking Talisman" as the foundation.

With Song Fei's mere Early Stage Golden Core cultivation, he would find it extremely difficult to resist the formidable Three-Talents Talisman Array; if not dead, he would be severely injured.

Only by completely solving the Song Fei issue in one go can potential future troubles be eliminated.

Secondly, he is eager to find a secret technique that can enhance his Divine Sense or locate rare Spirit Medicines.

Currently, although his Divine Sense far exceeds that of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, there is still a gap when compared to a Fake Pill cultivator, let alone a Golden Core Cultivator.

Only by upgrading his Divine Sense to a sufficiently strong level will he be safe from Song Fei's surprise attacks.

Moreover, only then can he better control the terrifying power contained within the Three-Talents Talisman Array built with the "Golden Armor-Breaking Talisman."

After all, the power of this array built around the "Golden Armor-Breaking Talisman" is truly overwhelming.

With his current Divine Sense strength, it's really uncertain whether he can fully master it.

The last matter is to elevate the level of the Spirit Vein and start laying out a real Third-rank Array to thoroughly eliminate worries.

However, raising the Spirit Vein's level is not something that can be done overnight. Currently, he hasn't even successfully cultivated the "Earth Master's Gaze," so everything must progress step by step.

As for matters like refining Artifact Embryos, those will have to be postponed.

...

...

After the elder with silver hair returned to the Luoyun Sect and truthfully reported the detailed situation, the Luoyun Sect quickly initiated a series of actions.

First, they significantly increased the bounty.

Regarding Song Fei, the Luoyun Sect issued an even more enticing bounty order.

Anyone who can provide accurate and true information about Song Fei will immediately receive a generous reward of five thousand Spirit Stones.

If someone successfully captures or kills Song Fei, the reward is even more astonishing—not only will they receive two magical artifacts but also an additional fifty thousand Spirit Stones.

Such a bounty might even tempt Golden Core cultivators.

However, whether they would actually fight to the death against Song Fei, a Golden Core cultivator, remains uncertain.

Besides this, the Luoyun Sect also organized a squad specifically for hunting down Song Fei.

This squad is composed of one Golden Core cultivator and several Fake Pill cultivators.

However, throughout the execution of their hunting mission, their harvest has been sparse.

They only managed to capture some remnants of the Shuize Sect, but regarding Song Fei's whereabouts, they couldn't find even the slightest trace.

As for the cultivators from the other two countries within Yue Country, most took a detached stance, just watching the commotion.

They generally believe that given the current situation of the Luoyun Sect, it's entirely impossible for them to continuously invest a lot of manpower to hunt down Song Fei.

Moreover, the evil beings in the Wanzhe Waters have been gradually wiped out, and the exploration of the Nine Nether Elder's mysterious relics is not far off.

Under such circumstances, the Luoyun Sect absolutely cannot afford to spend too much effort and resources on Song Fei.

It's just a matter of time before this squad quietly disbands after finding nothing.

...

...

Although the Luoyun Sect's event of issuing a bounty to hunt Song Fei has added additional turmoil to the already chaotic Wanzhe Waters, none of this affects Xu Ping.

At this moment, he is comfortably waiting at the Thousand Leaves Mountain, leisurely awaiting the arrival of individuals from the Luoyun Sect.

Fortunately, Xu Ping didn't have to wait too long.

One and a half months later, an elder from the Luoyun Sect with a Fake Pill cultivation arrived as scheduled.

"I am He Chen, greetings to Fellow Daoist Xu."

A slightly plump middle-aged man, with a faint smile on his rounded face, greeted Xu Ping.

"So it's Elder He, the journey must have been arduous. Why don't you rest for a moment at the pavilion?" Xu Ping warmly invited.

"That's a good idea." He Chen smiled and nodded, accepting readily.

Then, under Xu Ping's guidance, the two went to the pavilion in Thousand Leaves Mountain.

Inside the pavilion, the aroma of tea lingered.

Xu Ping personally poured He Chen a cup of Spirit Tea. The tea was clear, with Spiritual Qi billowing, clearly not ordinary.

He Chen picked up the cup, sipped lightly, and a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. He then put down the cup, smiling pleasantly, and said, "Fellow Daoist Xu, I've come this time regarding your purchase of the Purple Bamboo Mountain Spirit Vein."

"The sect has already agreed to sell you the Spirit Vein. The price is two thousand five hundred Spirit Stones, how about it?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Ping's heart relaxed slightly. This price was within his expectations and even a bit lower than anticipated.

He quickly nodded, saying, "What Elder He says is quite reasonable, the junior has no objections."

He Chen's eyes slightly narrowed, but he didn't immediately take out the Spirit Contract; instead, he said with meaning, "Fellow Daoist Xu being able to purchase the Purple Bamboo Mountain is truly commendable. From now on, you will have your own domain.

Unlike me, who had rushed on the road for half a month non-stop, only to finally arrive at this Thousand Leaves Mountain..."

Upon hearing these words, Xu Ping instantly understood He Chen's implied meaning.

He got the hint, gently flipped his palm, and a gray storage pouch appeared in his hand.

"Elder He, your long journey has truly been exhausting. This is just a small token of my regard, nothing much!" Xu Ping, all smiles, handed the storage pouch to He Chen with both hands.

Xu Ping understood very well that even if he didn't give any extra benefits, the deal to purchase the Purple Bamboo Mountain Spirit Vein could proceed smoothly.

But he knew he'd likely have to deal with He Chen in the future.

Handle each matter according to the person.

Xu Ping understood this principle.

He Chen, without changing his expression, accepted the storage pouch, scanned its contents with his Divine Sense, and saw a large number of Spirit Stones instantly appeared in his Sea of Consciousness.

Seeing this, he nodded in satisfaction and then took out a Spirit Contract from his ample sleeve, handing it to Xu Ping: "This is the Spirit Contract for this transaction, Fellow Daoist Xu may examine it carefully.

If there's no issue, you may sign and seal it; once the procedures are complete, the Purple Bamboo Mountain Spirit Vein will officially belong to you."

Xu Ping took the Spirit Contract, read it carefully, confirmed it had no issues, then signed his name and pressed his handprint.

Afterward, he retrieved two thousand five hundred Spirit Stones from his Storage Ring and handed them to He Chen.

"Congratulations Fellow Daoist Xu on officially becoming the new owner of the Purple Bamboo Mountain!"

He Chen carefully checked the quantity and quality of the Spirit Stones, confirmed everything was in order, and then beaming with a smile, congratulated Xu Ping.

"It's just a Second-stage Spirit Vein, hardly worth mentioning." Xu Ping, despite speaking humbly, couldn't help but show a hint of joy betrayed by the upward curve of his mouth.

After the transaction was completed to perfection, the atmosphere between Xu Ping and He Chen became increasingly harmonious.

After a few casual chats, He Chen's sharp little eyes suddenly gleamed and he proactively said: "Fellow Daoist Xu, do you have any other matters that need handling or are you lacking in any rare items?"

"Although my cultivation is just Fake Pill, I'm nevertheless an outer door elder of the Luoyun Sect. As long as it's not too difficult a matter, I will do my utmost to assist you."

"Needed things?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Ping couldn't help but feel a heart stir.

He instantly realized this might be an opportunity to obtain a secret technique that enhances Divine Sense or a Spirit Medicine.

Xu Ping knew well that He Chen's words were no more than a bid to solicit some benefits from him.

But as long as the other party could help him obtain a key item to increase Divine Sense, what harm in paying some price?

As long as actions are taken, it poses no problem!

Xu Ping pondered quietly for a while and then said slowly: "Since Elder He is so magnanimous, then the junior won't stand on ceremony; the junior currently does indeed need something."

"I wonder if Elder He knows where to find a secret technique or Spirit Medicine that enhances Divine Sense?"
