I’ll give you all a chance—hope you retreat while you still can!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Otherwise, don’t blame me for opening the slaughter!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, He Pingsheng stood still in empty space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few breaths, four streaks of light landed before, behind, left, and right of him, nearly blocking all escape routes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right, Young Master—this is the man!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A familiar voice came forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speaker was none other than the manager of the Bamboo Joint Trading Society: Manager Cui!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Manager Cui’s eyes gleamed with greed as he smiled warmly: “A stranger from afar, so careless—don’t blame us for being ruthless!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng said: “You mean heartless and ruthless, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Manager Cui had been a manager for over a hundred years—what kind of people hadn’t he seen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his sharp eyes, he instantly recognized He Pingsheng as an outsider; otherwise, why would he come here and spend such a vast sum on a map?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, since He Pingsheng addressed him as “fellow cultivator,” he must also be at Golden Core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps slightly higher than him, but certainly not Nascent Soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone at Nascent Soul would know how to teleport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had one high-grade spirit stone, he must have more than one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had only one, he’d guard it like his life—why would he waste it on a map?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All these signs led Manager Cui to fix He Pingsheng’s cultivation and identity—and thus sparked this tale of murder and theft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Excellent!” A middle-aged man, seemingly in his forties, glanced at He Pingsheng and laughed loudly: “Kid… you’ve got more high-grade spirit stones on you, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hand them all over!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll spare your life!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait… what’s this… damn… amazing treasure!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What level of treasure is this? Even I can’t tell!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he finished speaking, the Young Master turned his gaze to the Silver River Sky Shuttle in He Pingsheng’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This?” He Pingsheng waved the Silver River Sky Shuttle. “An Xuantian Spirit Treasure—though you could call it an Emperor Weapon…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And a high-grade Emperor Weapon at that!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, a sliver of magic power surged into the Silver River Sky Shuttle, forcing open its thirty-one sealing layers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the thirty-one sealing layers, the Young Master erupted in excitement: “Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit… Emperor Weapon… damn, it’s an Emperor Weapon!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng revealed the Emperor Weapon to give them a chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To make them retreat while they still could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That way, he wouldn’t have to strike down the weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But instead of making them retreat, the Emperor Weapon only deepened their greed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Quick—what else do you have? Bring it all out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let us see!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Young Master’s face was thick with greed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng’s expression remained calm; he waved his hand and produced another golden banner: the Golden Time-Space Banner!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thread of magic power sank into it, and the banner unfolded as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another Emperor Weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“More!” He Pingsheng waved again, and tens of thousands of supreme-grade spirit stones floated around his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing these, Manager Cui instantly realized his mistake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face darkened; he bowed to He Pingsheng. “Fellow cultivator… we apologize. You may go—this was all our fault. We were blinded by greed!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please, fellow cultivator, show mercy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, anyone with even a shred of sense would let He Pingsheng go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, who could afford to offend someone who could produce such things in one breath?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One man, possessing two Emperor Weapons?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where did he come from?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He must be gifted by a senior clan member—only the Qilin Clan could produce such a person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Manager Cui nearly regarded He Pingsheng as a prodigy of the Qilin Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the Young Master had already lost himself in the wealth before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s to fear?” He waved his hand and produced a golden longsword: “Even if he’s a Qilin Clan prodigy, so what? Fortune favors the bold—kill him, and who’ll know it was us?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is an Emperor Weapon!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heaven offers it, and you refuse—then you’ll suffer the consequences!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brothers, attack!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Young Master raised his sword to strike, he suddenly saw his three companions explode into pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Puddles of flesh and blood scattered in empty space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet He Pingsheng stood motionless, not moving a muscle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You you you…” The Young Master finally felt fear: “You’re not Golden Core—you’re Nascent Soul?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re pretending to be weak?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng said coolly: “Say so if you like.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t kill me… my grandfather is the Lord of Bamboo Joint City. Kill me, and you’ll die too!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before He Pingsheng could speak, the Young Master ignited a talisman, which instantly transformed into a streak of light and fled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had He Pingsheng moved to stop it, the light could not have escaped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since he wanted to send word, let him send it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mere Soul Transformation cultivator? Easy to kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fellow cultivator, stop!” A withered voice echoed from the horizon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was too late!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng slapped his hand forward—the Young Master turned instantly into pulp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn you… you’ll die…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man, voice thick with rage, appeared beside He Pingsheng in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lord of the city, the old man was not as reckless as his grandson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not strike immediately; instead, he waved his hand and retrieved his grandson’s soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What happened?” The old man asked his grandson’s soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soul replied: “Grandfather… kill him! He has Emperor Weapons! I thought he was Golden Core—he’s actually a Nascent Soul pretending to be weak!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Grandfather, you must kill him for me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good… good… good…” The Lord gnashed his teeth in fury, his spiritual sense sweeping over He Pingsheng—only to find his cultivation truly remained at Golden Core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you’re pretending to be weak? Old man, today—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he finished speaking, He Pingsheng raised his hand and waved it. “Withdraw now, and you live.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Otherwise, you won’t even know how you died.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bullshit!” The old Lord roared, and a white spiritual thought-knife shot from his mind-sea, piercing straight toward He Pingsheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His first move was to strike down the weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sought to crush He Pingsheng with spiritual pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>",1094,"2026-06-21T04:09:01.327Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","a31ef7873ed2c1de712c395161168da2e76c2eba636319756688c2e254b5f2ce","the-treasure-immortal-basin-chapter-831","the-treasure-immortal-basin-chapter-829",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-treasure-immortal-basin-cover.jpg"]
