If you only point me to a lead, that information is worth far less than a Foundation Establishment Pill.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he waved his hand and pulled out a porcelain vial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a soft pop, he opened the lid and said: “Take a look yourself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yue extended her spiritual sense into the vial and immediately exclaimed in excitement: “It… it’s really a high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill… and… two of them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm…” He Pingsheng nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in Dingxiang City, he had refined many pills—he still had some Foundation Establishment Pills left, not just high-grade, but even supreme-grade ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng put the vial away again and said: “Alright, you’ve seen the pills—now tell me what you can do for me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes…” Liang Yue said: “First, I can help you buy 【Dong Xiao Hua】 and 【Xu Yu Guo】 from other guilds in Hongshi City—you won’t need to go out yourself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng asked: “And?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yue said: “You bought a map from our guild—you’re an outsider, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have you heard of the Skull Mountain Gathering?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng shook his head: “No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yue said: “Tens of thousands of miles from Hongshi City lies a great mountain called 【Skull Mountain】. Every thirty years, the Skull Mountain Gathering is held there—a gathering and trading hub for low-rank cultivators.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When the gathering opens, tens of thousands of Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators from the entire Hongshi Commandery travel there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They exchange what they have for what they need.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you’re willing to go, you might just find what you’re looking for.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even if you don’t find them right away, you can set up a sign there to buy them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That would greatly increase your chances.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng nodded: “True—but this information still doesn’t seem worth a high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yue said: “Hmm… what I mean is, not everyone is allowed to enter the Skull Mountain Gathering. To enter, you must have a token issued by Skull Mountain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you’d come here half a year ago, getting such a token wouldn’t have been hard.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But now, it’s nearly impossible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because token sales have been closed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The price of each token has been inflated to astronomical levels.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you want to go, I can get you a token.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Would that be worth one high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng didn’t know if Skull Mountain tokens had truly reached astronomical prices—but it didn’t matter; he had no time to investigate such trivial matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just one high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright…” he nodded. “Go. I’ll wait here for one hour. In one hour, tell me where to find 【Dong Xiao Hua】 and 【Xu Yu Guo】…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I need two of each.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!” Liang Yue bowed and left immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng returned to the guild and sat down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rested while studying the map he’d just bought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Less than an hour passed—half an hour later—Liang Yue rushed back, panting: “Senior, I found them!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please follow me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng followed Liang Yue straight to a guild and purchased 【Dong Xiao Hua】 and 【Xu Yu Guo】.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two heavenly treasures weren’t expensive at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two 【Xu Yu Guo】 and two 【Dong Xiao Hua】 cost less than five hundred spirit stones total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good,” He Pingsheng said. “Now give me your Skull Mountain token.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes… Senior!” Liang Yue reached into a storage bag and pulled out a black, glossy token.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The token was pitch-black and polished, with a solid feel—icy cold in the hand, made of some unknown metal, but bearing a skull’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng asked: “Can only one person enter with this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No,” Liang Yue said. “Once you have the token, you may bring one other person inside.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t forget—the Skull Mountain Gathering is held on Skull Mountain, half a year from now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The exact location of Skull Mountain is marked on the Hongshi Commandery map you bought.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1059,"2026-06-21T04:09:00.242Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","773441410dd6189ce4c51d0acae376edd198f0a17eccf644f7809a331524f672","the-treasure-immortal-basin-chapter-237","the-treasure-immortal-basin-chapter-235",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-treasure-immortal-basin-cover.jpg"]
