She looked at the disciple and said, “I understand, Brother Qin. You may go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Qin bowed respectfully and withdrew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Linglong’s face darkened at once: “Damn it… they went as a group? Fine, I’ll let you off this time. The Cuiping Mountain Trial is about to begin anyway. Since you’ve reached Qi Refining seventh level, you’ll definitely join, won’t you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When we get to the trial grounds, I’ll settle the score with you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let you see what happens when you refuse me, Linglong!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She slammed shut the tall red door of the side hall!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two hours later, two yellow cranes landed at the entrance of Mount Matou Market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoa… so many people!” Xu Kunlun glanced inside and was startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng was startled too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were simply too many people here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I get it!” Xu Kunlun instantly understood. “Look— the Cuiping Mountain Trial is coming soon. All these disciples are here to prepare for it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, the others nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The so-called Cuiping Mountain Trial wasn’t limited to Grand Void Gate alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of sects and over a hundred families from the Daoxuan Alliance would participate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So many people!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go—crowds mean excitement, and lots of goods!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four of them walked together into Mount Matou Market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only had the number of customers increased, but so had the number of street vendors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s check out the street stalls first!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Kunlun led the way toward the stalls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The so-called street stalls were individual setups on the open ground near the market entrance—tiny, just a cloth spread out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vendors were a chaotic mix, all kinds of people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some were lone cultivators from nearby, others disciples from powerful families, and still others from major sects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Need elixirs? Very cheap… three spirit stones per pill…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qi-accumulating Elixir! Qi-accumulating Elixir!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng recognized this vendor—he’d once bought a fragmented scripture from him, which he later refined into the Spirit-Refining technique [Mystic Gate Stillness True Scripture].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But wasn’t the Qi-accumulating Elixir usually two spirit stones per pill?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why had the price gone up?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng had no interest in these elixirs and kept walking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flying swords, magic treasures, talismans, elixirs!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All kinds of items were on display—even someone was selling treasure bags and wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone was even selling [Storage Bags] right on the street—those heavenly items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crowd surrounded the vendor selling Storage Bags. He Pingsheng sent out a spiritual sense—and found he couldn’t discern the vendor’s cultivation level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant, without doubt, the vendor was a Foundation Establishment disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such a dense crowd, He Pingsheng used his spiritual sense without fear of being noticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With so many people here, who could tell whose spiritual sense had swept through?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heavens, a Storage Bag!” Xu Kunlun gazed in envy. “This is such a great item—way more convenient than a Treasure Bag!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly!” Zhao Linger added. “Too bad they’re too expensive. Only Foundation Establishment elders can usually afford them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that they couldn’t afford them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The problem was, Qi Refining disciples had limited spirit stones, and every bit had to go toward items that boosted cultivation—like elixirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So few wasted spirit stones on Storage Bags.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though precious, a Storage Bag was merely an auxiliary tool—it offered no direct help to one’s cultivation base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When I have money someday, I’ll buy one!” Xu Kunlun tore his gaze away and turned to He Pingsheng. “He Brother, you should consider it—you’re a pill alchemist. Alchemists are all rich!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng smiled. “I don’t have enough spirit stones yet—I’m saving up. Give me a few more years.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They chatted and laughed as they walked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng asked curiously, “What are you all planning to buy?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Linger said, “I want to buy a low-grade defensive magic treasure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Xiaoqing said, “Me too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Kunlun said, “Our Master gave us some low-grade offensive magic treasures, but no defensive ones—we have to buy them ourselves!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But defensive magic treasures are the most expensive!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s see if we can find one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What about you, He Brother?” They all looked at He Pingsheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng said, “I don’t need defensive magic treasures. I want to try buying some talismans.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard they’re very effective!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright!” Zhao Linger said. “You browse first. We’ll check out the shops over there. Split up, meet back here later!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mount Matou Market was bustling, and fighting of any kind was forbidden—so safety wasn’t a concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng walked to a stall and crouched down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stall was small, but covered with many talismans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young brother, are you looking to buy talismans?” The vendor was a Daoist nun, around thirty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng said, “Uh… Miss, what talismans do you have?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nun smiled. “Don’t call me Miss—I’m just a disciple of Heaven Talisman Mountain. I can’t handle such honorifics.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve only common talismans here. Look!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is [Fireball Talisman], this is [Ice Needle Talisman], this is [Entangling Talisman], this is [Lightning Talisman]…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng asked, “How strong are they?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nun said, “Take the Fireball Talisman—it matches the attack power of a Qi Refining seventh-level disciple’s Fireball Technique.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In plain terms, it was just average.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If its power was no greater than a regular cultivator’s spell, why would anyone buy it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simple: instant use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, when an enemy’s attack is already upon you and you have no time to cast a spell, you can just throw the Fireball Talisman—it delivers a full strike on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, when your spiritual power is drained, you can use these low-tier talismans as an emergency measure.\u003C\u002Fp>",1045,"2026-06-21T04:08:57.694Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","49ef98859b86b5af6eb6ee5fae8845d84bff367ca68d652ed7eb2f1a1728b1fd","the-treasure-immortal-basin-chapter-62","the-treasure-immortal-basin-chapter-60",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-treasure-immortal-basin-cover.jpg"]
