I’ll return there to seclude myself. If you three truly can’t trust me, come with me and supervise me there!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This…” the other three exchanged glances, then each nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine!” Xuan Yuan said: “Then let’s not delay—let’s go now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng’s request for three days of seclusion was not unreasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It made perfect sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were Xuan Yuan Changgeng himself, he wouldn’t start refining immediately either—he’d need to seclude himself first to study the Double Soul Pill formula.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four set out again, and soon arrived at He Pingsheng’s courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The courtyard was simple: just one building and a few arrays.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ladies and gentlemen…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng looked at them and said: “You may inspect it first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If everything’s fine, rest on the first floor. I’ll go to the third floor and begin refining in three days.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three thoroughly checked the small building inside and out. It was simple by nature—nothing but arrays and space, no hidden tricks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So after half a stick of incense, He Pingsheng sat on the third floor and began his meditation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He activated each array one by one, isolating the third floor completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even those below could not ascend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, during his meditation, He Pingsheng also placed the Double Soul Pill’s ingredients into the Treasure Basin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After one day of meditation, He Pingsheng gained some confidence in refining the [Double Soul Pill].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the ingredients in the Treasure Basin had doubled from one set to two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he lit the furnace and began refining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though upstairs and downstairs, the third floor was shielded by arrays, so those below could not sense his refining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old rule!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To ensure success, he added another drop of [Golden Bee Sacred Juice].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the refining failed, it would prevent an explosion—so at worst, he’d still get waste pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The result was acceptable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first batch succeeded!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the quality was low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twelve pills: only four were mid-grade, the rest all low-grade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng was not discouraged; instead, he chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Achieving this quality on his first attempt at the Double Soul Pill was already extraordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Proceed to the second batch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the second batch, He Pingsheng did not add the Golden Bee Sacred Juice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought it wasteful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden Bee Sacred Juice itself was already extremely valuable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pills without it would be lower in quality, but as long as they formed, it didn’t matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The result disappointed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The refining failed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though failed, waste pills still formed—twelve in total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After completing both batches, He Pingsheng placed the twelve waste pills and the first batch’s successful pills together into the Treasure Basin and left them in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Night fell, and lunar essence gathered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng stared intently at the Treasure Basin, waiting for its transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About an hour later, it changed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The twelve waste pills instantly became twenty-four; the four mid-grade became eight, and the eight low-grade became sixteen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng did not rush to retrieve them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another hour passed, and the pill qualities shifted again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waste pills became low-grade, low-grade became mid-grade, mid-grade became high-grade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did He Pingsheng reach out and take twelve mid-grade pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest remained in the basin for further strengthening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After one night, He Pingsheng obtained thirty-six supreme-grade pills and twelve mid-grade pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One set of ingredients became two sets, two batches became four.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perfect!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng smiled as he put away the Treasure Basin and the supreme-grade pills, then took the twelve mid-grade pills and stepped out of the array, heading downstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing He Pingsheng descend, the three seated below instantly rose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He Daofriend, have you completed your meditation?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not even three days yet—can you refine already?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How did it go?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three asked quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng chuckled and placed a jade vial on the table: “Here… it’s done.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Done?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Already refined?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Yuan Changgeng, stunned, hurried to the table and upended the vial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twelve pills total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All mid-grade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn…” Xuan Yuan Changgeng said: “All mid-grade…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Excellent!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehehe…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three rejoiced like children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had only hoped for any success at all—low-grade would have been a miracle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now they got mid-grade outright!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perfect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Impressive, truly impressive…” Xuan Yuan Changgeng was genuinely convinced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He bowed deeply to He Pingsheng: “He Daofriend’s pill-refining skill far surpasses mine.
