I’ll refine them for you, but it’ll take some time—you’ll have to wait.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man didn’t answer He Pingsheng; instead, he stated his demand: “I need at least one supreme-grade pill—can you do it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I didn’t need supreme-grade, I wouldn’t come to your shop!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng smiled. “Fine. But for supreme-grade, you must give me at least ten batches of material. I don’t produce supreme-grade in every batch—sometimes even ten batches yield only one supreme-grade.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, not every batch is supreme-grade—just two or three at most.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand that,” the man nodded, then handed He Pingsheng ten batches of material. “What if you don’t produce any supreme-grade?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng said nothing, simply took the ten batches, then waved his hand and produced a porcelain bottle, handing it directly to the middle-aged man: “Take it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This…” The man stared at the bottle, utterly stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside were two supreme-grade pills, plus ten upper-grade pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng said: “I happened to have one batch on me… take it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good, good, good!” The man beamed, leaving in high spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng then stored the ten batches into the Treasure Basin and resumed studying talisman arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, whenever pill supplies ran low, he would go to the back cultivation hall to refine more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from refining pills, He Pingsheng spent nearly all his time in the shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He studied the Heavenly Scripture of Talismans while interacting with all kinds of people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shop’s business grew steadily better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And since the Grand Void Pill Shop dealt only in high-end, high-grade goods, low-level disciples rarely came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, He Pingsheng’s business differed from others’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They weren’t competing on the same level, so there was little conflict of interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One day, a tall, breathtakingly beautiful woman entered the shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And she was human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her cultivation was at Soul Transformation, yet flashes of red light occasionally flickered in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Esteemed guest, please come in!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Wu, a Body Integration cultivator, personally escorted her inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman’s gaze swept over He Pingsheng and Feng Wu, then walked straight to the counter and looked at He Pingsheng: “Are you the owner?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng smiled. “How do you know I’m the owner?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically, this woman was only Soul Transformation—she couldn’t see through his cultivation, nor Feng Wu’s—so how did she instantly know he was the owner?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what the woman said next stunned He Pingsheng further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said: “Though he’s Body Integration first layer, higher than you, you sit calmly behind the counter, relaxed, while he’s cautious and attentive. I deduced you’re the owner—he’s merely your subordinate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng was even more astonished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soul Transformation, and she saw through Body Integration’s cultivation in one glance?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can’t even do that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remember, even with the Heavenly Eye Cosmology Scripture, He Pingsheng could only perceive cultivators one major realm above him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This woman saw through two major realms at once?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes,” He Pingsheng nodded. “You’re Soul Transformation twelfth layer, about to break into Void Refinement. You need a Tuiying Pill?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have upper-grade and even supreme-grade ones—if you can pay the price.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng smiled at the woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shook her head. “I already have Tuiying Pills. I don’t need any.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, when I break through, when have I ever used supreme-grade or upper-grade? A single lower-grade suffices.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only trash uses supreme-grade.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holy shit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So fierce?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A genius?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng gaped, his spiritual sense sweeping over her again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t spy on me,” the woman pointed a jade finger at him. “Don’t think your higher cultivation lets you dominate—I’ve killed higher-level cultivators before.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn. Damn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng quickly withdrew his spiritual sense. “Ah, so I’ve met a genius! Luo Bingyao, right? Fine, fine—I won’t scan you with my spiritual sense.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little goddess, what do you want?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Bingyao said: “I want you to refine a pill.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm,” He Pingsheng said. “Finally, we get to the point?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, tell me—what pill do you want refined?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plop…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman said nothing, merely raised her hand and placed a jade box before He Pingsheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng opened the box—inside was one set of material.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is…” He frowned. “What pill are you refining?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve never seen this material before.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait… I have seen it… hold on… this is… Jingye Pill material?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And a sixth-grade Jingye Pill?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Bingyao’s face broke into a faint smile. “Good. You know your stuff. I asked several others to refine it—they didn’t even recognize the material.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Some recognized it, but refused to refine it for me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you willing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng nodded. “I’m not afraid. But I have three questions I must ask before proceeding.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1011,"2026-06-21T04:09:01.327Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","f1112bf86308072fbb24b2c17b68a5bcc1c35c3886623382f221ff70b550b61e","the-treasure-immortal-basin-chapter-843","the-treasure-immortal-basin-chapter-841",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-treasure-immortal-basin-cover.jpg"]
