I’ll tell you everything I know!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Ping asked: “When I entered your guild, from the moment you handed me that seventh-rank Thunder Origin, until I was trapped by the Mahayana Emperor-level Tianyuan Thunder Emperor with his Imperial Artifact—everything unfolded too smoothly, too conveniently. It’s suspicious!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I want to know: how did you know I’d come to your guild?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How did you know in advance that I needed the Wood Origin and Thunder Origin?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Ping stared at the Peach Blossom Immortaless, demanding an answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought of one possibility: someone had leaked information ahead of time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Wu?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Wu is unlikely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Bingyao had already left; she’s unlikely too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then it must be Hu Chen!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that Hu Chen is scheming against me behind my back?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehehe…” the Peach Blossom Immortaless chuckled. “Actually, I didn’t know you were coming to our guild. To be honest, it was pure coincidence!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We were planning to target you anyway!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Our original plan was to lure you here under the pretense of business negotiations, then capture you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But we hadn’t settled on a suitable excuse—you walked right in on your own!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehehe… it’s that simple. That’s just how lucky it was!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you believe me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Peach Blossom Immortaless looked at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Ping nearly spat blood: could this really be true?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d walked into the trap for no reason at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since he was already captured, the Peach Blossom Immortaless had no reason to lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it really was just coincidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough talk!” the Peach Blossom Immortaless said. “You can’t escape anyway. Just state your terms!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm!” He Ping said. “My alchemy technique is unusual—I don’t allow anyone to spy on me while I refine elixirs!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My alchemy technique also requires absolute immunity from any spiritual sense interference!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So if you want me to refine high-grade elixirs, you must surround me with a barrier that completely blocks spiritual sense!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For example, an eighth-rank Spirit-Blocking Array!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Otherwise, I won’t be able to produce top-grade elixirs!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Ping didn’t just want to block spiritual sense with the Treasure Basin’s enhancement—he needed to merge with the Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once his avatar reached the peak of Void Refinement, he’d have to merge with the Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Merging with the Dao isn’t instantaneous—it requires a process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if someone saw him during this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wouldn’t they rush in to interrupt him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, his avatar can cultivate insights within the magic treasure’s space—but merging with the Dao can’t happen there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If both he and his avatar entered the treasure space, leaving only a lonely staff outside—what do you think would happen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your demand is outrageous!” the Peach Blossom Immortaless said coldly. “Do you even realize how rare an eighth-rank array is?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t care!” He Ping said. “If you agree, my elixirs will flow endlessly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For sixth-rank elixirs, I guarantee every batch succeeds, with at least six top-grade pills per batch!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For seventh-rank elixirs, I guarantee one successful batch out of two, with at least six high-grade pills per batch!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you agree, set up the array. Three days later, you’ll get the elixirs!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you refuse, use your thunder to torture me—see if I’ll break!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine!” the Peach Blossom Immortaless said. “You asked for it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t blame me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, she rose and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crackling…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after she left, silver lightning serpents slithered across the prison bars, coiling around He Ping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Ping lay on the ground, howling in agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the howling was fake—he felt no pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This pain was less than a ten-thousandth of what he endured when fusing the Nine Heaven Mystic Fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, as the thunder struck him, he quietly siphoned it away, feeding it to Doushen Thunder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps to teach him a lesson, the Peach Blossom Immortaless didn’t return to the hall for three full months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tai Xu Zi, give me back that seventh-rank Thunder Origin!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first thing the Peach Blossom Immortaless said upon seeing He Ping was demanding the origin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Ping yawned. “Why should I give it to you? Isn’t this my payment for refining elixirs for you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You—” the Peach Blossom Immortaless said. “Understand this: we’re the ones holding you captive. What right do you have to make demands?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Ping, utterly unbothered, shrugged. “Then keep using thunder on me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can endure this pain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And by the way—increase the thunder’s intensity. This won’t kill me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You—” the Peach Blossom Immortaless nodded in fury. “Fine, fine, fine… Tai Xu Zi, you win.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ll set up the array as you requested—today!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Peach Blossom Immortaless spoke through gritted teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph…” she turned and stormed off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, several array masters arrived and began setting up the array around He Ping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The array enveloped both He Ping and the Imperial Artifact prison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Ping watched from the side, chatting with the array masters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These arrays weren’t simple—each master was proficient in at least seventh-rank arrays, worthy of being called seventh-rank array masters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey… Elder, did you make this array core?” He Ping asked an old man with white hair and skin like withered wood, pointing to the array’s center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man was at the eleventh layer of Body Integration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No,” the white-haired elder shook his head. “Due to my cultivation level and spiritual sense, though I’ve studied eighth-rank arrays, I cannot construct one—or even forge the array core.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This eighth-rank array core was taken from Tianyuan Thunder Emperor’s Dao hall.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this eighth-rank array disc was not crafted by this old man, but taken apart from the Daoist sanctuary of Tianyuan Leidi!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn, Tianyuan Thunder Emperor really went all out—he actually dismantled this for me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well I’ll be, Tianyuan Leidi really went all out—he actually took it apart himself and gave it to me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That means the array is legitimate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, though confined in his prison, He Ping watched the array masters as they worked, silently studying, and openly asking questions when confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The array masters were willing enough, happy to answer his queries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, they all wanted to know why he was imprisoned—but none dared ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three more months passed, until finally, the eighth-rank Spirit-Blocking Array roared to life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus another three months passed, and the eighth-rank Spirit-Blocking Array finally roared open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only thirty meters across—just enough to cover He Ping and the prison artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the array was complete, the Peach Blossom Immortaless approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your demand has been fulfilled!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now, refine your elixirs!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Two thousand years—no breaks. Four batches daily—can you manage?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Ping said: “Fine. Four batches daily. Prepare the materials in advance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Send me one month’s worth of materials at a time. Come once a month to collect the elixirs.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One month’s worth of materials—just come once a month to collect your elixirs!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, set a chapter for now; four more chapters before 12 o’clock, Sunday, five updates.\u003C\u002Fp>",1176,"2026-06-21T04:09:01.327Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","57f6d95d3f1644787bafe31aa2895ddff0892a3a99926153bdedd2eed46ff04f","the-treasure-immortal-basin-chapter-871","the-treasure-immortal-basin-chapter-869",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-treasure-immortal-basin-cover.jpg"]
