When I call your name, step forward!” said Xuan Yang Elder. “Disciples from Lotus Peak, step forward!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of Lotus Peak disciples rushed forward in a rush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You lot!” Xuan Yang Elder pointed to a group. “Come over here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Each of you gets a Hundred Treasures Bag!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bring back every spirit herb you see—remember, even the lowest-grade first-rank spirit herb must be collected!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Yang Elder handed each of them a new Hundred Treasures Bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He feared their bags wouldn’t be enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After distributing the bags, Xuan Yang Elder waved his hand; his magic power condensed into a speck of light that fell, instantly expanding into a barrier that enveloped the dozen or so before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Yang Elder roared, and the light membrane lifted the dozen or so people into the air, then shot them swiftly into the secret realm’s entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the secret realm’s entrance opened—a dark, swirling vortex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elders nearby kept tossing their disciples, one by one, into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This method of entering the secret realm opened He Pingsheng’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lotus Peak disciples were tossed in by groups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came Sunset Peak, Dawn Peak…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, it was Xiuzhu Peak’s turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiuzhu Peak brats, come here!” Xuan Yang Elder’s face was pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, using magic power to transport disciples into the secret realm was physically taxing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having sent so many disciples already left him nearly drained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Xuan Yang Ancestor showed no sign of displeasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Disciples of Yuxuan Gate and Yude Gate were sent in, one squad after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Yang Ancestor wiped sweat from his brow, glanced at He Pingsheng, and said: “Phew… only one left. I’m exhausted… This is even more tiring than fighting for my life!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come on, all four of you!” Xuan Yang Ancestor handed He Pingsheng and the others each a new Hundred Treasures Bag. “Stand firm—I’ll just toss you in.

Thud! Thud! Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four of them landed on the ground like a human pyramid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it!” Zhao Linger cursed. “Fatty, Xu Kunlun, get off me—you’re crushing me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Xiaoqing’s face flushed red: “He Dijie, you’re lying on me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two men scrambled awkwardly to their feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four looked around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each wore a wary expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky was crystal clear, not a single cloud in sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blazing sun blazed overhead, its light blinding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Endless mountains stretched in every direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spiritual energy here was thick beyond measure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What a place!” He Pingsheng said. “If I could cultivate here, I’d make double the progress!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dream on!” Xu Kunlun cut in immediately. “You’ve got a Five Element Spirit Root—no matter how dense the spiritual energy, you can’t absorb it… You can’t even take it in, Old Nine…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng smiled awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True enough—that was the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Linger gripped her treasure sword, scanning the surroundings warily. “With this much spiritual energy, there must be countless spirit herbs here. Let’s go find them…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, by the way—whatever we find, we split it evenly, two to one, between the four of us!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Any objections?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at the other three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other three had lower cultivation bases than Zhao Linger, so they all nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Xiaoqing pulled a bottle from her Hundred Treasures Bag and poured out a heap of seeds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She grabbed a handful and casually scattered them around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Sister!” He Pingsheng said. “Those are Seven-Leaf Spirit Herb seeds, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!” Tian Xiaoqing replied. “I’m planting them here first—this place’s spiritual energy is so rich, in thirty years, a whole grove of Seven-Leaf Spirit Herbs will grow, and future cultivators can harvest them!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Kunlun gave a thumbs-up. “Senior Sister Tian, you’re truly noble!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Xiaoqing rolled her eyes. “You think all these spirit plants in the secret realm just appeared out of nowhere?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isn’t it always the case—earlier generations plant trees, later generations enjoy the shade?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If we only take and never plant, wouldn’t this secret realm have died out long ago?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Before we came, my Master summoned me alone and told me to scatter seeds along the way!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve got plenty more seeds—let’s go!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four walked together through the secret realm, and Tian Xiaoqing kept scattering seeds as they went.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they were all Qi Refining cultivators and hadn’t yet learned to fly on swords, they could only walk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The upside: they were cultivators—each step covered several zhang, so they moved quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They leapt and twisted through the mountains as if walking on flat ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after about half an hour, they hadn’t encountered a single spirit plant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do we have a map? Let’s check where we are,” He Pingsheng suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Linger said: “I already checked—it won’t help. We need to walk first, confirm the terrain’s characteristics before we decide.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If we still find nothing after another half hour, I’ll release a flying crane to scout.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they walked, Fatty Xu Kunlun suddenly raised his hand excitedly. “Look! Look! What’s that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was so excited, spittle flew from his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng whirled his head toward where Xu Kunlun pointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance lay a lush, emerald bamboo grove.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Kunlun said: “Immortal Bamboo… It’s Immortal Bamboo!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What a vast patch of Immortal Bamboo!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did the others realize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immortal Bamboo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immortal Bamboo itself had no special value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when it first sprouts from the ground, it’s called [Immortal Sprout].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this Immortal Sprout is one of the four ingredients needed to refine first-rank [Spirit Gathering Elixir].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go take a look…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four sprinted toward the bamboo grove.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the grove’s edge, they saw—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So many Immortal Sprouts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hundreds of them poked up densely from the ground beneath the bamboo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were first-rank spirit herbs!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t stand there—each of you take a side, collect them all!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leave not a single one!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1104,"2026-06-21T04:08:57.694Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","58e462a8f3c412fa6fda55329adc96921ed5ee1b8268fbf6d2bfd613ff1274e8","the-treasure-immortal-basin-chapter-72","the-treasure-immortal-basin-chapter-70",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-treasure-immortal-basin-cover.jpg"]
