What elixir do you need?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Dong stepped closer. “Actually, I don’t need any elixir. Our auction house is preparing a major annual auction, and the more high-grade and diverse the items, the better!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve come to ask if you could provide a few treasures for our auction?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng’s expression darkened instantly. “Sorry… my Emperor-grade weapon, the Silver River Flying Shuttle, I already gave to my disciple!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can’t give it to you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah…” Elder Dong looked disappointed. “I see. Well, no Emperor-grade weapon is fine—I heard you once refined an Jipin  [Pure Karma Pill]. How many do you still have?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could I beg for one?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng said: “I do have some, but… I’m not interested in spirit stones. As a pill master, I’ll never lack spirit stones!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come on!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sixth-rank Pure Karma Pill—and Jipin  at that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, Pure Karma Pills are extremely rare—so rare you could say they’re virtually nonexistent, let alone Jipin  ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Auctions here are priced in spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Take it to an auction?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sell for spirit stones?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m not insane!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I keep them in my shop—anyone who wants one must bring sufficient heavenly treasures to trade with me!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehehe…” Elder Dong chuckled. “You misunderstand… this auction is different—it doesn’t use spirit stones.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s a barter exchange!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you understand now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng suddenly understood. “I get it, I get it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Dong continued: “Place your Pure Karma Pill in our auction. We’ll invite you over. Whatever item you want, we’ll arrange the exchange.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And we charge no transaction fees!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your pill is just a draw to boost the auction’s appeal!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehehe… Is that acceptable?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng now understood. He nodded. “Fine…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here’s one [Pure Karma Pill]. Take it…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He handed one to Elder Dong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Dong bowed repeatedly in thanks before leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, He Pingsheng continued meditating on talisman crafting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he still refined pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The number of people coming to request his pill refining grew daily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, his shop had to post a purchase limit: only four batches of common elixirs sold per day!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, He Pingsheng refined two batches in the morning, then strengthened them in the Treasure Basin—making four batches total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone came specifically for rare elixirs, that was a separate matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, He Pingsheng reserved at least half a day each day to meditate on the [Heavenly Talisman Scripture].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After two years, his understanding of the Heavenly Talisman Scripture deepened—he could now effortlessly craft fourth-rank talismans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, mastering fourth-rank talismans in two years wasn’t due to innate talent; it was simply because his cultivation base was high, his comprehension sharp, and his spiritual sense powerful—all supporting the result.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One day, a short, white-haired old man arrived at the counter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re the owner of this shop, Taixu?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man stared at He Pingsheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His spiritual sense swept over him without restraint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng, naturally, didn’t hold back—he shot out his own spiritual sense, scanning the old man in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man’s cultivation was high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Body Integration, Level Eleven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just one level away from the peak of Body Integration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you’re a senior!” He Pingsheng bowed quickly and stood up. “What do you need, Senior?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t call me senior. I’ve inquired around Dinglu Street—I know your abilities are extraordinary!” the old man said. “I’m Elder Cangqiong. From now on, address me as ‘Dao Friend.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Cangqiong had clearly granted He Pingsheng great respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng smiled, not refusing. “Since Dao Friend Cangqiong is so generous, I won’t be formal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem,” said Cangqiong. “I came to ask you to refine a special elixir for me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A special elixir?” He Pingsheng asked. “What kind?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cangqiong said: “I have a formidable opponent—a terrifying lightning cultivator. Every time we fight, I lose. So I’ve come to ask you to refine a batch of [Lightning-Avoiding Pills]. When I swallow them during battle, they’ll reduce his attacks by thirty percent!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahahaha… Then I’ll win!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But… I have one requirement: the quality of these Lightning-Avoiding Pills must be at least high-grade.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng smiled. “Senior, you’re putting me to the test. [Lightning-Avoiding Pills] are seventh-rank elixirs—beyond my current realm to refine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And you want high-grade from a realm-overstepping refinement?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That… seems a bit excessive.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1082,"2026-06-21T04:09:01.327Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","6040b7d1a0c823307aa500fcd455eccd564d7ad1fb91b28d210edf7e972f2f6f","the-treasure-immortal-basin-chapter-850","the-treasure-immortal-basin-chapter-848",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-treasure-immortal-basin-cover.jpg"]
