"A secret technique or spirit medicine to enhance Divine Sense?"
Upon hearing Xu Ping's request, He Chen's eyebrows instantly furrowed.
Such things are considered rare not only among cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Realm but even within the Golden Core Realm.
After a moment of silence, He Chen's eyes turned as if he had thought of something, and he slowly opened his mouth to say, "To be honest, Fellow Daoist Xu, techniques like these are extremely precious, and within our Luoyun Sect, they are a closely guarded secret..."
Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed across Xu Ping's eyes.
As it was a non-transferable secret of the Luoyun Sect, the other party probably didn't have the courage to secretly sell it to him.
Moreover, with the resources and means at Luoyun Sect's disposal, they would certainly have numerous safeguards to prevent such techniques from leaking out.
However, just when Xu Ping was filled with disappointment, thinking he would leave empty-handed, He Chen suddenly changed his tone:
"However, although the Luoyun Sect's technique for enhancing Divine Sense cannot be taught to you, I have a friend who possesses a similar technique."
"Though his technique is somewhat inferior to Luoyun Sect's, it's still quite extraordinary."
"Elder He, is this true?"
Xu Ping could not conceal his delight and eagerly inquired.
He had thought all hope was lost, but unexpectedly, the situation took a turn for the better, presenting an opportunity.
"This is indeed true."
He Chen smiled with confidence, his expression resolute, "My friend is a Fake Pill cultivator, and this technique was acquired by chance in a mysterious secret realm. Having practiced it for years, his Divine Sense is far beyond what ordinary Fake Pill cultivators can compare to."
"I see!"
Xu Ping's eyes were filled with joy, and he immediately asked, "So does Elder He's friend have any interest in selling the technique?"
He Chen pondered for a moment and then slowly shook his head, "I can't be certain, as he has always regarded this technique as his prized possession, unwilling to easily show it to others."
"However, if Fellow Daoist Xu is interested in purchasing it, I could ask my friend on your behalf to see what he thinks."
Upon hearing this, the joy in Xu Ping's eyes slightly faded, but he quickly clasped his hands in a respectful bow, sincerely saying, "Then I must trouble Elder He to inquire."
Even though it's uncertain whether the other party would sell it, it's still worth making an effort.
Saying this, without waiting for He Chen to indicate, Xu Ping lightly turned his palm, and a storage bag appeared in his hand, which he then extended towards He Chen, "This is a token of my appreciation. I hope Elder He doesn't mind."
He Chen's way of dealing with matters was completely different from Yang Hong's, and Xu Ping knew well that to get things done, he had to cater to He Chen's preferences.
He Chen reached out to take the storage bag, and his Divine Sense swept lightly over it. After seeing the number of Spirit Stones inside, his smile grew even brighter. He patted his chest confidently and promised:
"Rest assured, Fellow Daoist Xu, after I return to the sect and complete my duties, I will contact my friend as soon as possible and bring him to Thousand Leaves Mountain to meet you."
"Then you two can discuss the matter in detail privately."
As he spoke, He Chen's hand moved swiftly, his palm turned over again, and the storage bag vanished instantly.
"Then many thanks to Elder He!" Xu Ping said with a smile.
If he could communicate with the friend in person, the likelihood of closing the deal on the secret technique would undoubtedly increase greatly.
"It's a small matter." He Chen, satisfied, stored away the bag and waved his hand dismissively.
"While it might be a small effort for Elder He, to me it concerns a major issue," Xu Ping replied with a smile.
His Spirit Stones were not easily given. If He Chen indeed had such a friend and connected them, it would naturally be a cause for celebration.
But if He Chen intended to deceive, Xu Ping certainly wouldn't let him off easily.
Although defeating a Fake Pill cultivator posed no trouble for him, doing so without arousing Luoyun Sect's suspicions would indeed be tricky.
After a few more casual exchanges, He Chen rose to take his leave, "Then I shall take my leave. After returning to the sect and completing my report, I will promptly contact my friend for Fellow Daoist Xu."
"Take care, Elder He," Xu Ping politely escorted He Chen out of the pavilion.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, stay here," He Chen responded cordially and then spread his figure, riding the Escape Light, swiftly departing from Thousand Leaves Mountain.
"I hope He Chen can bring back good news!" Xu Ping thought silently as he watched He Chen's figure gradually disappearing into the distance.
The benefits of mastering a secret technique that enhances Divine Sense are immense.
Not only would it allow for better control over the Three Talents Array, but a stronger Divine Sense also greatly aids in breaking through one's own realm.
"However, since He Chen will definitely not be back immediately, the current focus should be on quickly mastering the 'Earth Master's Gaze'."
Once He Chen's figure completely disappeared, Xu Ping turned and headed towards the cultivation chamber.
After persistent research during this period, he was now just a step away from mastering the "Earth Master's Gaze."
Once mastered, he would be able to start upgrading the Spirit Veins.
...
...
Time flowed silently like a gentle stream.
During this period, Xu Ping immersed himself in the arduous study and practice of the "Earth Master's Gaze" at Thousand Leaves Mountain.
Meanwhile, the sect's cultivators were also reaching the crucial final stage of their campaign against the malevolent forces.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.
Deep within the Wanzhe Waters.
"Roar!"
"Roar!" A powerful fiend at the Perfection Level of the Golden Core fiercely roared at the cultivators in front of it, sending waves of ominous aura expanding outwards.
Its body was covered in dark azure scales, tough and cold, while in its eye sockets, green flames danced maniacally, exuding a fearsome aura.
