How could this have happened?
He Pingsheng held the damaged Formation Plate, stunned.
He did not believe anything had gone wrong with his Treasure-Gathering Basin.
The Treasure-Gathering Basin had never gone wrong before.
"I get it..."
He Pingsheng drew a deep breath.
It was not actually difficult to guess.
There was only one possible reason the Treasure-Gathering Basin had failed to enhance this item: its grade was too high.
It could not be enhanced yet.
At present, the Treasure-Gathering Basin could only enhance items up to the third grade. In other words, this Formation Plate was very likely fourth grade or higher.

He Pingsheng put everything away, then stepped out of the great hall.
He flew on his sword straight to Bamboo Peak.
The old man was dead. The sect's Golden Core cultivators still respected He Pingsheng only because they all thought the old man was alive.
Taixu was He Pingsheng's backer.
But what would things look like if they learned Taixu was already dead?

Now that he had two supreme-grade Origin-Reaching Pills, he naturally had to bring
