the giant bat landed on the ground, and with a flick of her wrist, she retrieved it into her spirit beast pouch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at He Pingsheng, who stood on the slope with a puzzled expression, Jin Lan’s fiery lips parted, revealing two rows of even, white teeth: “Little brother, we meet again?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng bowed: “Greetings, Immortal Jin Lan!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, He Pingsheng was tallying up his possessions!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the two days since entering General Mountain, he had fully enhanced all the talismans he brought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two Fire Talismans were upgraded into four top-grade [Heavenly Fire Talismans].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two Rockfall Talismans were upgraded into four top-grade [Mountain-Moving Talismans].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two Disguise Talismans remained Disguise Talismans after enhancement—four in total—but their rank had changed, all now top-grade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, after using these enhanced Disguise Talismans, even Golden Core cultivators could not detect the deception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng, while examining his talismans, had not expected to suddenly encounter Jin Lan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why so formal?” Jin Lan smiled at him. “Don’t call me Immortal—call me sister!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng looked embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go on… call her,” she urged from nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While He Pingsheng was still thinking how to respond, the woman broke all rules of combat and casually flicked out an ice-blue magic treasure sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could not tell how many seals adorned the blade, but a piercing blue sword light shot toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He assumed the blue light was ice-elemental—but it wasn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was fire-elemental.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blue fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because her strike came too fast and too suddenly, He Pingsheng had no time to summon any defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only pour spiritual power into his shoes and instantly dash away at five times his normal speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he dodged the sword strike, the residual shock still struck him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, he wore the [Seven-Clasp Dark Gold Armor], and the spiritual energy of one of its clasps activated a shield, effortlessly blocking the residual force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Lan’s expression turned solemn. “Let me see what the great destiny-bearer is truly capable of!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword light from her blade surged forth, relentlessly striking at He Pingsheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, He Pingsheng had experience—and thus time to react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, he was still being overwhelmed by Jin Lan’s attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng frowned: Her cultivation base was clearly only Foundation Establishment seventh layer—why did her attacks feel like those of a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fighting this woman was like fighting Xiao Xuan, the Void Spirit Root cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, He Pingsheng used the advantage of his five elemental dantians to exhaust her spiritual power, and only then did they cease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Impressive!” Jin Lan sheathed her sword. “Little brother… stop!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me talk to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng bore no deep grudge against the woman from the Coral Trading Society; moreover, though her attacks were fierce, she clearly had no intent to kill, so he ceased his defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still had six other clasps storing defensive power, so he wasn’t afraid she’d strike again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you want?” He Pingsheng’s expression was calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Lan turned, and her blue Daoist robe instantly transformed into crimson red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as it had during the trading fair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Coral Auction, another trading fair had been held, and at that time, Jin Lan had worn this red robe, seated at the center of the table, making countless male cultivators swallow hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng had thought she’d simply changed clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he saw: this robe of hers was no ordinary garment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For during their fight, when he unleashed the Holy Wood Poisonous Dragon Art, the robe had blocked his poison attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, it was no ordinary item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother, do you prefer this robe of mine… or the one I wore before?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she moved, she closed the distance until she stood before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng hastily stepped back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This woman was too dangerous—he feared he might lose his resolve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tell me,” Jin Lan’s beautiful eyes fixed on him, “why did Long Yuan want to capture you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng sneered: “I don’t know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehehe…” Jin Lan sneered in return. “Do you think I’d believe you?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1233,"2026-06-21T04:09:00.242Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","e70f5cadb81d2fe21538795c16a4a1d2ae17410602b48862c8d558910f4cb163","the-treasure-immortal-basin-chapter-219","the-treasure-immortal-basin-chapter-217",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-treasure-immortal-basin-cover.jpg"]
