gentleman!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To use this robe, you must first refine some of its seals!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t require you to refine all the seals—just at least the top eight layers!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He put away the Nine Radiance Slash-Dragon Flag, then took the blue robe in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint, sweet incense lingered, refreshing and invigorating the soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, his spiritual sense plunged into the robe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This…?” He Pingsheng exclaimed: “Sister Jiang, there are… twenty layers of seals on this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is this… an ultimate ancient treasure?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the cultivation world, treasures are ranked as magic tools, spirit tools, magic treasures…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that is not the limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magic treasures are nurtured within the dantian; as the cultivator’s cultivation base rises, so too does the treasure’s rank and number of seals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A magic treasure can evolve into a xuan treasure, which has thirteen to sixteen seal layers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond the xuan treasure lies the ancient treasure, with seventeen to twenty seal layers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, this robe bears exactly twenty seal layers—meaning it is an ultimate ancient treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!” Jiang Lan nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng said: “Sister, thank you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew how precious this treasure was; that she was willing to lend it to him meant she truly meant to help him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once I leave, how do I return this treasure to you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Lan gave a bitter smile: “Once you leave, you’ll be running for your life—there won’t be time to return it to me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then leave it with you for now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If one day I’m gone, remember to fulfill my final wish for me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good brother, sister is leaving!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Jiang Lan pulled out a Life-Death Talisman and crushed it outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng had wanted to give her some Golden Bee Sacred Elixir, but there was no chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I…” He Pingsheng said: “My real name is He Pingsheng…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had the words left his mouth than Jiang Lan was swept away by a white light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cave was left with only He Pingsheng alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything that had just happened felt like a dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng rubbed his face hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he sat cross-legged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze fell upon the robe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, refining a treasure with eight seal layers would take him two months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But here in this secret realm, he had only one month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And four days of that month had already passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What to do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a way!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng had previously swallowed an ultimate Double-Spirit Pill—his spiritual sense had increased tenfold!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the pill’s effect would last fifteen days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his spiritual sense strengthened, surely refining speed would increase too?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s try!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng took a deep breath and began refining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At once, a smile appeared on He Pingsheng’s face: “It really works…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The refining speed had increased two or three times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One day!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two days!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three days!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a flash, twelve days had passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After twelve days, He Pingsheng had refined eight layers of the Jinlan Treasure Robe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up at the nearby Treasure Basin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Treasure Basin, he had placed a black crystal the size of a fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the Spear Intent Crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng wanted to see if it could be enhanced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Result…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was enhanced!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The originally black crystal had changed color.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still black—but now streaked with purple-gold patterns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When light struck it, the crystal shimmered in dazzling hues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what had been one crystal was now two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng couldn’t help but wonder: Isn’t the Treasure Basin only supposed to enhance items below third-rank?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this crystal not high-grade?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Never mind!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just store it away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng did not immediately plan to leave—he continued refining the Jinlan Treasure Robe in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Jiang Lan had told him eight layers were enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But He Pingsheng felt it wasn’t safe enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He might as well refine one more layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet refining seals becomes harder the deeper you go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with his doubled spiritual sense, it took another ten days to refine the ninth layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Jinlan Treasure Robe was now fully refined to nine layers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twenty-two days total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adding the previous four days, He Pingsheng had now spent twenty-six days in the secret realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only four days remained before he had to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he stayed longer, the array would crush all who lingered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng draped the robe over himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blue female Daoist robe looked bizarre on He Pingsheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Change…” He Pingsheng willed it, and his appearance shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He transformed himself into the form of the former Beast Tamer Sect disciple—he had learned her name was Li Mei from looting her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After becoming Li Mei, the robe could no longer remain blue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Change…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A ripple of transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even He Pingsheng could no longer recognize himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, she wore a red long robe, held a sword in hand, and her cultivation base was simulated to Foundation Establishment ninth layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice could easily shift to a woman’s tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once everything was perfected and thoroughly checked, He Pingsheng nodded in satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he still did not leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One more thing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The small spear he had taken still had an unknown rank!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If only it bore twenty layers of seals too…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, He Pingsheng pulled out the divine spear and plunged his spiritual sense into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to He Pingsheng’s shock, he could not determine the treasure’s rank at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could not tell how many seal layers it had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be stronger than an ancient treasure?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I can’t tell, I’ll study it later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng tossed the black spear into his storage bag, then casually crushed the white Life-Death Token in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hummm… hummm… hummm…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The formation stirred to life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After three breaths, He Pingsheng was teleported away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, he landed on the square outside Shenzjiang Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he touched the ground, he was blocked by several soldiers clad in golden robes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come with us!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng was brought before the white-haired cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white-haired cultivator’s spiritual sense swept over him twice, finding nothing amiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Foundation Establishment ninth layer—you’re from Dingxiang County, right?” Long Yuan looked at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!” He Pingsheng replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice had been magically altered into a woman’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where in Dingxiang County?” Long Yuan asked further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng said: “Dingxiang City, Dingxiang County!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good!” Long Yuan waved his hand. “Go rest behind. Do not leave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several soldiers led He Pingsheng to the rear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over a thousand cultivators were already seated there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of them were from Dingxiang County.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng sat down and turned his head to look around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The once-empty square had, at some point, filled with countless soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than ten thousand of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They stood in formation—three steps apart as sentries, five steps apart as guards—forming a vast circle that enclosed everyone within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no way to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Today’s fourth update, brothers—get ready. The five updates promised for March are starting… Before the five, I’ll do four first to get used to the rhythm!】\u003C\u002Fp>",1185,"2026-06-21T04:09:00.242Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","860eede4b09ea4556d03611da002ba25bc8483fe9238c3e5f2051fbafe325017","the-treasure-immortal-basin-chapter-226","the-treasure-immortal-basin-chapter-224",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-treasure-immortal-basin-cover.jpg"]
