Daoist Bai Long looked at He Pingsheng expectantly.
He Pingsheng glanced at him and, after a little thought, said, "Hard to say, but I should have better than a fifty-percent chance!"

He Pingsheng's request for three days of seclusion was not excessive.
It was perfectly reasonable.
Were Xuanyuan Chang Geng in his shoes, he would not have begun refining immediately either. He would
