If I had, I wouldn’t be standing here before you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Ning nodded; she had no suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Yude was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and besides, that uncle of his had a Foundation Establishment python assisting him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good!” Yu Ning’s gaze swept over He Pingsheng again. “Where’s your Hundred Treasures Bag?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng had put his Hundred Treasures Bag inside his Storage Bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made it easy to carry during travel, but now that his master asked, he suddenly didn’t know how to explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lowered his head and saw the deep, dark valley below. “I dropped it in that cave, Master. Wait a moment—I’ll go get it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without giving Yu Ning time to react, He Pingsheng leaped several times into the ravine, quickly putting distance between them. Once he confirmed he was over a hundred zhang away, he pulled the Hundred Treasures Bag out of his invisible Storage Bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why a hundred zhang?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because beyond that distance, a Foundation Establishment cultivator’s spiritual sense couldn’t reach. No matter what he did, his master couldn’t see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After retrieving the bag, He Pingsheng leaped a few more times and landed beside Yu Ning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All set?” Yu Ning asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng said: “All set!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Ning still seemed uneasy. “If there’s anything incriminating in the bag, don’t keep it. I’ll give you a little more time—deal with it yourself!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng shook his head: “Thank you, Master, but no need. Everything in my bag is clear and legitimate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good!” Yu Ning nodded in satisfaction, then waved her hand, sending a flying sword hovering in midair. Instantly, it expanded with a bang, growing to over ten feet long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Ning stepped forward and landed atop the sword. “Get on. Hold tight!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!” He Pingsheng stepped onto the blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Ning reached out and took his hand, then activated her magic power. The two soared into the sky. The sword flashed several times and vanished into the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speed of flying sword travel was incomparably faster than He Pingsheng’s paper crane, and even quicker than the flying vessel of a Jin Dan elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a little over an hour, Yu Ning and He Pingsheng landed on Xiuzhu Peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come here!” Yu Ning called He Pingsheng into her palace, then sealed all the palace arrays. “You need to come up with an excuse—why didn’t you return with the main group from the secret realm?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What will you say?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng bowed. “In the secret realm, Linglong tried to kill me several times. I was terrified, so I used a Disguise Talisman to dress as a woman and escaped. Later, I boarded a ship from the Tianfu Mountain sect.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If the sect doesn’t believe you, ask the Tianfu Mountain disciples!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Ning nodded. “That’s good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Someone will come to question you soon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“According to Grand Void Gate’s rules, if you kill an outer disciple, Xiuzhu Peak handles it internally—no need to report to the sect. Just inform Elder Chongyang, and it’s fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But if you injure an inner disciple, you must go through the Sect’s Law Enforcement Hall. They’ll send someone to interrogate you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But don’t worry—I know they have no evidence. If you deny it outright, they can’t touch you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m just afraid your uncle Yude might act behind the scenes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng smiled inwardly: Yude?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Act?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dream on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Zhao Linger’s voice came from outside the palace gate: “Master, Master, are you back?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The palace gate’s array opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Linger entered the palace. When she saw He Pingsheng, she was both surprised and delighted, her eyes still carrying a trace of worry. “L-Laojiu… oh no, Brother—you’re back…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm.” He Pingsheng nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Linger said: “You’re safe—that’s all that matters!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master!” Zhao Linger bowed to Yu Ning. “Just now, Hongde Courtyard sent word—Uncle Yude’s spirit tablet shattered two hours ago!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?” Yu Ning’s heart jolted. “Shattered?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You mean… Uncle Yude… is dead?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Linger said: “Yes, Master.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You little fool!” Yu Ning’s face turned stern. “Your uncle is dead—how can you smile like that? Don’t you know others will talk?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Be serious!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!” Zhao Linger snapped to attention, her expression instantly turning solemn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough!” Yu Ning waved her sleeve. “Both of you, return to your quarters. I’ll go to Hongde Courtyard first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three left Yu Ning’s palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Linger and He Pingsheng returned to He Pingsheng’s small courtyard. Soon after, Tian Xiaoqing and Xu Kunlun arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, Laojiu…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What did you do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Kunlun said: “Everyone’s saying you killed Linglong, that bitch! Tell me—did you do it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All three stared at He Pingsheng, eyes gleaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng gave a bitter smile and spread his hands. “Do you think I could beat Linglong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, the three sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Man, I thought you’d done it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone says you did, but I figured it couldn’t be—you’re at Level Seven, she’s Level Eleven!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, Linglong had several bodyguards!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Impossible!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all believed He Pingsheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Linger asked: “Brother, you were alone in the secret realm for so long—did you find anything good?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, yes, yes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All three turned back to He Pingsheng, each face filled with anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng grinned. “Sister, Brother—look at what I brought you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he opened his Hundred Treasures Bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three yellow apricots lay clearly visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are these?” Xu Kunlun stared intently at the apricots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gul…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gul-gul-gul…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng heard the sound of several people swallowing saliva.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, though uncertain, they all suspected what they might be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng grinned. “What else could it be? Of course—Water Elemental Spirit Apricots…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?” Xu Kunlun’s small eyes flashed with sudden light. “This—this… really is Water Elemental Spirit Apricot?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You actually got them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got them!” He Pingsheng grinned and pulled out the three apricots, handing one to each. “One each!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1002,"2026-06-21T04:08:57.694Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","f03874e4a8f22994616025332860d01afee09355e62b9871823bb89e41ed1562","the-treasure-immortal-basin-chapter-103","the-treasure-immortal-basin-chapter-101",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-treasure-immortal-basin-cover.jpg"]
