You’re even older than her!” He Pingsheng asked Jin Ku.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Ku smiled bitterly: “Yes… I am indeed older than her, but I’ve never set foot here. Last time this place opened, I was sealed within that small world, so… I missed it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So that was it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go!” Red Luo Woman said. “Go take a look!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you don’t move, none of them will dare advance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red Luo Woman gestured with her chin toward the rear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mahayana Emperors blown away by the Immortal Mountain tide had returned one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing He Pingsheng had not entered, they dared not proceed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng glanced behind and called out loudly: “Items within the Piaomiao Immortal Mountain are granted by fate—everyone may enter!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, He Pingsheng transformed into a streak of light and flew upward with the others toward the true Immortal Mountain range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng noticed a problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is, while flying, speed here was vastly slower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One could even say it was infinitely slower!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too slow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It gave He Pingsheng the illusion that this speed was nearly equivalent to his own during his Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment days in the cultivation world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was understandable. Though not the Immortal Realm, this place operated under Immortal Realm rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, one could imagine that after ascending to the Immortal Realm, flight speed would be much the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless streaks of light flashed past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some arrived at the nearest cluster of buildings; others flew straight past toward the rear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng and Luo Bingyao descended directly onto the first flat ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red Luo Woman also landed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Bingyao said: “Master, this place has been opened countless times—we must go further back. The front won’t yield anything valuable; it’s long been stripped clean by predecessors, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng smiled: “Your mind isn’t dull. But do you think the rear hasn’t been stripped clean too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Precisely!” Red Luo Woman said. “These structures have been ransacked countless times—front or back, the outer and inner disciples’ quarters hold nothing of value anymore.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No worthwhile items remain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But!” Red Luo’s gaze swept across the surrounding mountains. “This is still an Immortal Mountain—perhaps Immortal-grade materials grow wild in these mountains. We could search for them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yet… even if found, they’d likely be useless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because the mortal world lacks the corresponding elixir formulas to refine such substances.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Materials of Immortal grade yield Immortal Elixirs.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The mortal world cannot produce Immortal Elixirs.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Unless you find an Immortal Fruit!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Bingyao said: “Senior, that’s not right… Ninth-rank elixirs are also Immortal-grade, aren’t they?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Like… the Flying Immortal Elixir!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And my master once refined the [Earth Mother Blood Elixir]—both are Ninth-rank!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Correct!” Red Luo Woman said. “Theoretically, a Ninth-rank elixir should match the lowest-tier First-rank Immortal Elixir in the Immortal Realm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But in practice, though the rank is the same, the rules differ.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One follows Immortal Realm rules; the other follows Spirit Realm rules.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng nodded: “That’s true.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly recalled something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, when he used the Treasure Basin to enhance the Ninth-rank [Earth Mother Blood Elixir] and [Flying Immortal Elixir], there was no issue—they could be enhanced overnight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the [Qianyuan Golden Dipper], an Immortal artifact of the same rank, could not be enhanced in a single day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had taken a full year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng had never understood this before, but now, after Red Luo Woman’s explanation, he finally grasped it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh…” Luo Bingyao turned, staring at a nearby blue stone tablet. “What’s that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There seem to be inscriptions on the tablet!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But we don’t recognize these characters either!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng frowned, his gaze settling on the inscriptions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed—he didn’t recognize them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These characters were from the Immortal Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior, do you know what this is?” He Pingsheng turned to Red Luo Woman for clarification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red Luo said: “I don’t know myself, but based on this location and certain legends, some have speculated this tablet is the [Hua Xian Stele]… the inscriptions are likely the [Hua Xian Method].”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The [Hua Xian Method]?” He Pingsheng was confused again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red Luo continued: “In our Spirit Realm, cultivators absorb low-grade cosmic energy—spiritual energy. But upon ascending to the Immortal Realm, their internal magic power fails to perfectly align with the external cosmic rules, rendering many techniques unusable!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thus, the first step upon reaching the Immortal Realm is Hua Xian.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hua Xian means transforming one’s true spirit energy into the Immortal Realm’s immortal spirit energy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The [Hua Xian Method] inscribed on this stele is the technique for converting true spirit energy into immortal spirit energy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifth update delivered—please support with free love-powered electricity!\u003C\u002Fp>",1103,"2026-06-21T04:09:01.327Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","45f92cee0cec652035ed1320b475df90c47e1e2677caaaad0ff740b2a123abc5","the-treasure-immortal-basin-chapter-981","the-treasure-immortal-basin-chapter-979",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-treasure-immortal-basin-cover.jpg"]
