I cannot handle them alone, so I invite you to join me in killing them and harvesting the flower!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But don’t worry—I’ve already invited three others as well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When we five go together, after harvesting the Mist Soul Flower, we’ll refine the pill—I’ll give you one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you say?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng smiled. “Why did you choose me, Xuan Yuan?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Yuan Changgeng did not answer, but asked instead: “May I ask your cultivation name?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng bowed. “I am of the He clan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, so you are Brother He!” Xuan Yuan Changgeng looked at him with sincere expression. “Though the Mist Soul Flower is only a second-rank material, it is an exceedingly rare rule-based spirit herb. I dare not casually recruit anyone—especially not disciples of great sects or noble families; they’d bring trouble.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t seem like a disciple of any great sect—you’re a lone cultivator, aren’t you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng said: “Correct.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm…” Xuan Yuan Changgeng said. “So my guess was right. Brother He, rest assured—I mean no harm. I simply feel that lone cultivators like us are less likely to cause complications.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Moreover, what I need is your poison.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re a poison cultivator—if used properly, your poison could achieve twice the effect with half the effort.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng thought for a moment. “Very well… but I must first meet the other three companions before deciding whether to join you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Yuan said: “No problem. Then let’s meet at the peak of Shuiyang Mountain, outside the East Gate, in three days.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you’re willing to go, we’ll follow our agreement.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If not, we’ll go with just the four of us—it may be harder, but we can still take it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good!” He Pingsheng then discussed further details with Xuan Yuan Changgeng regarding the purchase of second-rank Poison Pills, settling on fifty spirit stones per pill, plus an extra ten spirit stones per pill as additional payment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did He Pingsheng depart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving the elixir shop, He Pingsheng did not immediately return to his small courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, his conversation with Xuan Yuan Changgeng made him realize his shortcomings in elixir refinement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relying solely on the Thirty-Six Formulas was far too inadequate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He decided to buy some foundational texts on elixir refinement to fill the gaps in his knowledge, so he wouldn’t appear foolish later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So He Pingsheng entered the Coral Trading Society again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Dingxiang City, there were dozens of trading societies, but only three top-tier ones: the Imperial Trading Society, the Dingxiang Trading Society, and the Coral Trading Society.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What can I help you with, Elder?” A seventh-stage Qi Refining shopkeeper, sharp-eyed, hurried over to He Pingsheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng said: “I seek a text on cultivation-era elixir refinement. Do you have such a book?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Elder. Follow me!” The shopkeeper led He Pingsheng to a bookshelf: “These are all elixir-related texts—take your pick.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng looked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A familiar title appeared before him: Thirty-Six Elixir Formulas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides the Thirty-Six Elixir Formulas, there were other texts. Following the principle that price reflected comprehensiveness, he spent sixteen thousand spirit stones to purchase a jade slip titled Ten Thousand Herbs Elixir Canon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its contents were indeed extremely rich.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It contained roughly tens of thousands of spirit herbs, from first to fourth rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition to spirit herbs, it included over three hundred refined elixir formulas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them was the method to refine the Double Soul Pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What followed was simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in his courtyard, he quietly strengthened the Ten Thousand Herbs Elixir Canon using the Treasure Basin, doubling it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One remained named Ten Thousand Herbs Elixir Canon, but its contents were now different—its records of spirit herbs were far more detailed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three hundred-plus formulas were also improved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other copy was named Golden Core Collection—same effect, but with even more exhaustive descriptions of the spirit herbs, further refined formulas, and numerous substitute alternatives included.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One could say the two books were equal—reading either was the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After studying the Golden Core Collection for two days, the day arrived to meet Xuan Yuan Changgeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That day, after gathering his gear and making all preparations, he left his courtyard, passed through the East Gate, and flew toward the peak of Shuiyang Mountain on his sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he landed, he saw several cultivators already there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Led by Xuan Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as his gaze swept over the others beside him, his pupils sharply contracted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For he saw a familiar face—no, a sworn enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>",1088,"2026-06-21T04:08:57.694Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","58b4b2995ef6dad422122b35592901ea43765d4f51c019433268b344c20a415c","the-treasure-immortal-basin-chapter-183","the-treasure-immortal-basin-chapter-181",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-treasure-immortal-basin-cover.jpg"]
