t shook the entire mountain."Wow!"This is the sound of rocks breaking.Then, a piercing shriek that tore through the heavens suddenly echoed.The sound was extremely sharp, filled with intense anger and...The escaping light landed on the WenYueFang market, Qin Sang had to first fulfill a promise made a year ago, to get the Chi Long Sword back.

It's not that he was reluctant to part with this artifact that was about to be destroyed, but he didn't want the Chi Long Sword to fall into the hands of others and attract the attention of those with ulterior motives.

"Mr. Wu returned the Chi Long Sword to Qin Sang, his face flushed with embarrassment. "Please forgive me, Daoist Qin," he stammered. "I was so eager to study the restrictions on the core of this artifact that I almost destroyed it."

Qin Sang's divine sense swept over, and he discovered that the Chi Long Sword indeed had several more cracks, and the restrictions on it were precarious. He lightly touched it with his spiritual energy, and the entire sword body shattered directly, scattering into pieces. In its core, there was only a ball of Yin Sha Qi, which dissipated in the wind.

"Master Wu's face changed slightly, and he murmured dejectedly: "Daoist Qin, I will compensate you with a high-grade magic artifact..."

Qin Sang remained silent, patted the residual Yin Qi on his palms, and looked at Wu Zhuchang and asked, "Wu Daoist has been observing for so long, have you gained anything in the way of refining tools"

Speaking of refining weapons, Wu shopkeeper seemed to immediately forget about his worries and said with excitement, "The restrictions on this sword are extremely ingenious. I had never encountered anything like it before. Unfortunately, due to my limited cultivation, I could only comprehend a small part of it. However, it has greatly benefited me in my future weapon refining! I would also like to thank Qin Daoist for this opportunity!"

Qin Sang looked at Wu Zhu with surprise.

Elder Ghost was a Golden Core cultivator. He used Yin Sha Qi and a small amount of spiritual materials to refine a top-grade magic weapon. Although it could only be used for a period of time, this refining technique was also very powerful.

Wu, the shopkeeper, was only a cultivator at the tenth level of the Qi Refining Stage. After merely observing for a year, he could grasp one-tenth to one-half of the techniques. It shows that this person is indeed talented in the way of refining weapons, and his mind is also quite good.

It's a pity that this person is rather old. He has almost no hope of establishing his foundation, unless he achieves remarkable feats in the art of refining tools, attracting the attention of Golden Core cultivators or Nascent Soul cultivators who are willing to do anything to help him establish his foundation.

This is also the plight of many cultivators. Those who practice in seclusion lack cultivation resources, and those distracted by external affairs, even if they can earn some spirit stones, will inevitably affect their cultivation progress, and may not be able to catch up later.

Unless one has the background, or is truly a genius, both cannot be possessed.

“It's just a broken spirit sword. Before it is destroyed, it can help Master Wu comprehend the way of refining artifacts. Even if it reaches its full potential, Master Wu needn't take it to heart.”

Qin Sang waved his hand dismissively, not waiting for Wu shopkeeper to speak before saying, "I have other matters to attend to. I will come another day and ask Wu Dao-friend for a cup of tea."

Having said that, Qin Sang turned and left the shop, striding out towards the market outside Wen Yue Fang.

Outside Mount Shaohua, there is an unnamed small island.

What was originally just a deserted island, today the island has gained a veil of mist, like a barrier shrouding the little island.

Chirp, chirp...

Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!

A gray bird with feathers clutched a small fish in its beak, anxiously circling the islet. Its little brain couldn't understand why its home suddenly became inaccessible. Every time it tried to enter the mist, an inexplicable force pushed it back out.

It did not give up, failing again and again. Its originally crisp and pleasant calls grew increasingly frantic, becoming grating.

At this time, a huge stone on the island was artificially smoothed out. Three people were sitting cross-legged on it, and one of them was Yu Dayue.

The other two were a woman, whose Taoist name was Qingting, and the other person was Wu Yue-sheng whom the two had invited.

"So noisy!"

Yu Da Yue glared at the bird, his eyes shining with a light like that of an arrow. In the blink of an eye, he shot out of the fog and haze.

Unexpectedly, the moment it flew out of the miasma, it was suddenly blocked by a beam of blue light. The two forces neutralized each other, vanishing silently, leaving the bird completely unaware.

Yu Daiyue looked at Qing Ting in astonishment.

Qing Ting opened his eyes and looked deeply at the birds flying around, saying in a strange tone, "All things have feelings. Let's fulfill these poor little creatures."

As he opened a crack in the fog, birds flew into the nest like arrows from a bow, feeding small fish to their mate who was tending eggs. They chirped and chattered excitedly, as if recounting their recent fear.

Yu Daiyue let out a dry laugh. "Qing Ting, senior sister, you have such a kind heart... By the way, how is Master Brother Jiang doing"

Qing Ting shook his head and sighed.

Just then, a white cloud suddenly flew across the sky from the east, and in the south, a small boat with two people aboard broke through the waves. Yu Da Yue's face brightened as he said: "Daoist Baiyun has arrived! The Liu brothers are also here."

Seeing Qing Ting's furrowed brows, Yu Dai Yue consoled her, "Sister, don't worry. Qin Shixiong's cave is in Gu Yuan Country. It will take some time for him to get here."

Before his words could fall, a tearing sound came from the north. Qin Sang rode a flying shuttle and arrived.

Qin Sang landed on the bluestone, secretly sizing up the six people before him.

Ching Ting and Yu Daiyue both know each other, and another senior brother also had a brief encounter with him.

Besides the three of them, there was also an old Taoist priest who looked to be about sixty years old. He had graying hair and a goat-like beard, giving him a rather aged appearance. His eyes were slightly narrowed, as if he always wore a smile, making him appear to be a kind and venerable elder.

The other two rode in similar flying boats, a pair of twin brothers who were almost indistinguishable from each other.

What surprised Qin Sang was that these twin brothers only had the cultivation level of the 13th layer of the Qi Refining Period, although both were at their peak. He remembered Yu Da Yue once said that the formation-breaking artifact needed a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage to manipulate it.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

"Please take a seat, fellow cultivators!"

With Yu Daiyue's enthusiastic greeting and introductions to everyone.

After the introduction, Qin Sang learned that the senior brother was Wu Yue Sheng, the Wu Shixiong mentioned before. The other three were not disciples of Shaohua Mountain, but cultivators from Yuncang Dazze.

The elder's Daoist name was Baiyunshanren, and his cave abode was on Baiyun Island. The two twin brothers, one named Liujiang and the other Liushan, practiced cultivation on Qilong Island. They were both well-known wandering cultivators in the nearby area.

Apart from the Liu brothers, including Qin Sang, they were all at the early stage of foundation building. Qing Ting and Yu Da Yue were a bit higher, not far from the middle stage of foundation building.

Qin Sang sat quietly on the side, secretly observing everyone. He found that apart from the slight alertness in the eyes of the Liu brothers, the other people remained calm and composed, showing no signs.

This is a test.

You can only tell from their positions that the Liu brothers and the Baiyunshan people are sitting close together, but this is normal.

After introducing everyone, Yu Da Yue addressed Qing Ting and said, “Qing Ting Senior Sister, besides Li Zai Junior Brother, all the fellow cultivators are here.”

Qing Ting nodded to everyone and greeted them, saying: "Li Zai, my junior brother, is at a crucial time for seclusion. I have already given him a Fire Crow Order to refine and it will not delay important matters. I will introduce Li, my junior brother, to all of you later."

As he spoke, Qing Ting's gaze swept across the crowd, finally landing on the Liu brothers. There was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

Upon seeing this, Yu Daoyue smiled and said, "Sister, there's no need to worry. Although the Liu brothers haven't reached the Qi Refining stage yet, they both practice the same unique skill passed down from their master. Working together, they can exert power comparable to that of a Qi Refining stage cultivator. Their spiritual consciousness is strong enough to withstand the impact of demonic sounds, and controlling the fire crow orders shouldn't be a problem either."
