Rest assured, Daoist Wu. I will only observe and not interfere. I simply want to learn from the process of your refining. If it involves any family secrets, please let me step aside."Qin Sang was inde...'Click! Click!'

It's like walking on a floating bridge, not needing any magical powers to tread upon lotus leaves.

The lotus leaves swayed gently, fish swam in the water, and the surrounding mist was hazy, like a dream.

Like many cultivators and mortals, they strolled amidst the lotus flowers and arch bridges, holding oil-paper umbrellas, with serene expressions and intoxicated by the unique charm of Liancheng.

'...roar...'

Occasional thunder rumbled through the clouds, its sound muffled and distant as if far away. It is said that the rainclouds above Liancheng are perpetually overcast, but lightning is rare.

Qin Sang and Jian Nu made a little reconnaissance, and they had a general understanding of the layout of the city.

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

Since the buildings in Liancheng are all built on lotus leaves, often a single lotus leaf serves as a shop, and the sign is carved onto the lotus flower next to the leaf.

Any fairy city would not be without a place for renting cave dwellings. Liancheng's most abundant spiritual energy is located in the Eastern District, where it is said that many hermits and experts reside, deeply understanding the true meaning of hiding in plain sight.

After discussing, Qin Sang and Jian Nu decided to find a remote and inconspicuous place to buy a courtyard.

Soon, they arrived at the west side of Liancheng, almost to the city border. They bought a courtyard through Yaxing and paid with spirit stones.

The courtyard was built on a gigantic lotus leaf with a radius of tens of thousands of meters. Many small courtyards were huddled together, and the spiritual energy here was also the thinnest in Lotus City. However, Qin Sang planned to use this place as a contact point for the future and would not reside here permanently. Whether the spiritual energy was dense or not was unimportant.

“Once you make contact with Tianyue Senior, you can come here to wait for me. If everything goes smoothly, I will come and meet up with you. In case something goes wrong and I am forced to flee outside the Great Zhou, I may also send a message here, seeking your aid,” Qin Sang said.

The sword slave knew that his cultivation was not enough to stop a powerful enemy for Qin Sang, at most he could only help Qin Sang gather what he needed. He nodded solemnly, "Take care, sir!"

Take care! See you later!

Qin Sang set up a spirit array and gave Jiannu a jade talisman. He personally escorted Jiannu out of the city.

The Sword Slave bowed slightly to Qin Sang, suppressed his aura, and vanished silently into the depths of the rain.

After Jiannu left, Qin Sang started making preparations in earnest. He stayed in Liancheng for a while longer, investigating the terrain and situation of Duizhou. Combining this with the purchased feng shui map, he gained a general impression of Duizhou.

Unlike Gan Prefecture, where the capital Lián City is located in the very center of Gan Prefecture, the capital city of Duì Prefecture is not situated in the heart of Duì Prefecture.

The entire region of Duizhou only occupies a part of the Great Swamp. To the north of Duizhou, beyond the borders of the Zhou Dynasty, lies a region even more chaotic and dangerous than the South China Sea. This area is located between the wilderness and the Zhou Dynasty, inhabited by a mix of humans and non-humans, with demons and monsters roaming freely. There is no order, and numerous powerful clans and factions are scattered throughout.

To the north lay the desolate Mang Huang. Legend has it that after the fall of the Yao court, the Yao clan lost its power and was driven to the Mang Huang by the Jade Emperor.

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

However, modern humans know very little about the Wasteland. It is said that the Wasteland is even more vast than the Eight Heavenly States. Beyond Fengju Yumen, the north of the Wuzhu tribes' territory is also part of the Wasteland, and it even extends further west.

The Wasteland is a broad concept. In the eyes of humanity, any place unconquered by humans can be considered an uncivilized and barbaric wasteland. One can view it as such. The Grand Thousand World is vast; even between the eight Heavenly States, there is no true connection.

What has become of the Yaozu Have they rebuilt the Yao Court Is most of the Yaozu in the north of the Zhou Dynasty, ready to launch a counter-attack south at any moment

Qin Sang tried to investigate these rumors, arranging his escape route, but only received some ambiguous and unreliable gossip. However, the location of Liancheng, the city in Duizhou Prefecture, was close to the north of Duizhou, clearly fortifying against the north.

From Liancheng to Fengju Yumen, one must travel northwest and finally reach a place called 'Yumen Pass'. Fengju Yumen is located outside of Duzhou.

As its name suggests, Yumen Pass is the last fortress on the way to Fengju Yumen. Although there's a long distance between Yumen Pass and Fengju Yumen, there are no more immortal cities in between. There are only self-organized settlements and towns formed by cultivators traveling between Yumen Pass and Fengju Yumen. These often exist for dozens or hundreds of years before being buried by the wind and sand. Yumen Pass has existed since ancient times.

It is rumored that the Dai Zhou Great Swamp stretches all the way to the Wu Tribe's territory, encompassing Fengjuyu Gate. However, the terrain near Fengjuyu Gate is different, possibly affected by ancient battlefields. This area is covered in sand and dust, desolate and barren.

Qin Sang organized the information she had collected over this period, confirmed the route, and then left Liancheng by taking the Dà Nuò Yí Zhèn.

'Crack! Sizzle!'

The clouds hang low.

The wind and rain were raging.

A raging wind whipped up a violent storm, mercilessly battering the swamp below. Amidst the flashes of lightning and booming thunder, a crimson bolt streaked across the sky.

'Click!'

A bolt of lightning illuminated the area, and it turned out to be a red-feathered spiritual eagle.

The spiritual eagle has sharp eyes and extraordinary majesty. Its wingspan exceeds a hundred feet, yet it moves as fast as lightning. Wind and rain cannot hinder its progress in the slightest.

One can vaguely see that someone is sitting on the back of the spiritual eagle.

This man is Qin Sang. After leaving Liancheng, Qin Sang traveled several times and is now on the final leg of his journey to Yu Men Pass. It is unknown what the human race was considering, but Yu Men Pass does not have a large-scale teleportation array leading to the outside world.

In Duizhou, the business tycoon wasn't Chanjin City, but a force called Yu Shou Zhai. Qin Sang employed a spirit eagle from Yu Shou Zhai and rushed to Yumenguan.

After we leave Yumen Pass, will you still be available for hire

Qin Sang spoke directly to the Spiritual Eagle.

“I’m sorry to disappoint you, but we at the Beast-Tamer Guild don’t do business outside of Yumen Pass,” Ling Ying replied in a crisp voice. Her voice was childish, like an eight or nine-year-old.

This is a paragraph.

"Oh" Qin Sang questioned, "Why is that Shouldn't there be many cultivators who leave the customs"

"Reporting back, your Lordship, we don't want to give up on business outside the pass either. But the forces in Duzhou are willing to show us some face. Even in the north of Duzhou, there are many allies. Only outside the pass..."

Ling Ying sighed, "There are many desperados who dare to enter Fengjufu and Yu Men to seek treasure. They act without any scruples. Moreover, the area outside the pass is desolate. Once they commit evil deeds, they hide in Fengjufu and Yu Men, making it impossible to trace them. It is said that there have been attempts before, which resulted in the loss of many predecessors... If you go out of the pass, be careful."

Qin Sang hummed and sized up Ling Ying's back of the head, then suddenly said, "You're not a real demon clan, are you"

The spiritual eagle hired by the Beast Tamer's Hall didn't have its master accompanying it. Qin Sang felt something strange about its aura as soon as he saw it, unlike a transformed demon beast. Along the way, his suspicions were confirmed more and more.

"You have a sharp eye, sir!"

Ling Ying replied calmly, “Guests can also regard me as Ling Ying. This is the unique beast-riding technique of our Yu Shou Zhai. The master and spirit beast share the Dao together. Ling Ying is my natal spirit beast. I am merging my primordial spirit with its essence. Even flying back and forth will allow us to become more in sync.”

These few who do business as intermediaries, their cultivation practices are all so strange Beast Taming Hall is like this, and Brilliant Gold City is like this too.

Qin Sang harbored resentment in his heart.

Under a veil of dark clouds, the sunlight was dim. After rushing through the night amidst flashes of lightning and thunder, on the second day dawn, Qin Sang suddenly saw that a magnificent sunrise appeared on the horizon.

However, 'dawn' appeared in the west.

On the edge of the dark clouds, a sudden burst of light illuminated the sky with a myriad of colors, brightening the world in an instant.

Upon closer inspection, it was not a glow of mist but a fierce sandstorm. The wind howled, cutting through the dark clouds, and sunlight refracted through the sand, casting a myriad of colors.

Between the sand and the clouds, the outline of a city appeared.

Along the way, all the immortal cities Qin Sang had seen in Duizhou resembled Liancheng and were quite elegant.

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

The fairy city before my eyes was completely different in style. It looked like a grand pass in the middle of a desert, magnificent and rough!

“Sir, you've reached Yumenguan!”

The spirit eagle opened its beak and spat out a red beam, shooting towards the Jade Gate Pass. Immediately, fine ripples appeared in the void, like opening a gate. The spirit eagle flew directly into the city, unimpeded, and no guards came up to question it.

It was as if he had arrived at the edge of a swamp. Inside and outside Yumen Pass, it was like two different worlds. Inside the pass, there was damp and humid marshland; outside, the wind carried sand relentlessly.

The architecture of Yumenguan is similar to that of the mortal world, mainly built with rammed earth and stone. The city wall facing outwards is extremely thick, and heavily armed guards exuding an aura of menace constantly patrol the ramparts. The power of the defensive formation seems to be ever-watchful, as if guarding against something unseen.

Qin Sang noticed that many people on the street were in a hurry, and he estimated that many of them were not locals, but adventurers attracted by Feng Ju Yu Men.

The western city gate was wide open, with a constant stream of people flowing in and out.

The Five Elements Alliance also had a branch here. Qin Sang inquired about its location and went straight to the Five Elements Alliance, taking out his token.

Upon seeing the elder's decree, a clerk surnamed Ruan immediately led Qin Sang to the back hall and bowed respectfully: "Greetings, Elder Qin!"

Master Ruan faced Qin Sang without any restraint, clearly not the first time he had received elders from the alliance.

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

"Which elder is presiding here"

Qin Sang looked around and asked.

The Wuxing Alliance couldn't dispatch elders to every semicolon, but at a crucial location like Yumen Pass, there would definitely be an elder stationed there.

“Reporting to Elder Qin, Elder Hong is in charge of this post, but Elder Hong is out of the city on business and is not here at the moment.”

Here's the translation:

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

Ruan Zhi didn't explain what was going on, and Qin Sang wasn't comfortable pressing for an answer. He said, "Fengju and Yumen both produce special spiritual items. You should have a list of them, right Please show it to me."

"Yes!"

Mr. Ruan wasn't surprised at all. Most people who came to Yumen Pass were here for the abundant treasures of the Fengju Yumen.

Several jade slips were quickly brought over. They were the culmination of years of effort by the Five Elements Alliance, and even within the alliance, only elders and above were qualified to read them.

Feijumen is an ancient battlefield that has existed since time immemorial. It contains divine powers left behind by powerful beings, shattered Xiaqian worlds, and countless magical places. It produces manyworldly wonders that are hard to find elsewhere.

Cultivators often hear tales about a legendary treasure or ancient inheritance found within the Yu Men of Feng Ju, leading to instantaneous ascension. Despite the inherent danger, countless individuals flock here in pursuit of this fabled opportunity.

The Five Elements Alliance has been collecting and recording any treasures that originated from the Fengju Yumen for a very long time. Some are just snippets of information, while others provide detailed accounts of the process, even specifying the location where such spiritual creatures might be produced.

Qin Sang knew that the Elder Guest would not be able to see all the data, but this was also very valuable.

"Earth-colored jade, so precious a vine, is that all the news there is"

Qin Sang, pointing to several entries in the jade slip with a frown, asked about their contents.

The rare and precious heavenly treasure, Dìhuá Yùguī Fēng, has appeared five times in records, dating back as far as seven thousand years ago, with the most recent sighting only thirty years past.

Qin Sang didn't need the Di Hua Yu Gui Teng, but rather a reason to enter Feng Ju Yu Men and conceal his true intentions.

Ruan Zhishi thought to himself, "This Elder Qin is actually here for the Dihua Jade Vine. 'I respectfully report to Elder Qin, this record was written by me. Thirty years ago, rumors spread in the city that someone had brought out a section of the spirit vine, but it quickly disappeared without a trace. I haven't been able to find any concrete information because there have been four previous records of the spirit vine appearing, which are more credible, so I recorded it.'"

"That being said, no one knows for sure which direction at Fengju Yumen the Dihua Yu Gui Teng is most likely to appear in" Qin Sang asked.

"Master Ruan nodded in agreement. "This isn't the junior flattering himself, but the junior is quite well-informed in the city. Others likely wouldn't be able to find out anything either. Since Elder Qin needs this item, the junior will put up a bounty. With a generous reward, there will surely be someone brave enough..."

"Hmph! You know nothing! The Earth Jewel Vine I need must be harvested with my special technique, otherwise its power will be diminished and useless," Qin Sang rebuked coldly.

"This... this junior is poorly educated and almost messed up Elder Qin's important matters. Please, Elder Qin, punish me," said Steward Ruan with trembling fear.

"It's alright, you have good intentions. You can put out a bounty. This old man needs the growth location of Dihua Jade Vine, plus these few spiritual objects. This old man will offer a premium price for them, the more the better. As long as the treasures are good enough, this old man can even personally forge a spirit treasure tailored for him!" Qin Sang waved his hand.

Upon hearing this, Ruan Zhishi knew that this matter would certainly cause quite a stir at Yumen Pass.

The guest elder of the Five Elements League personally opens the furnace and customizes it. Even cultivators in the Refining Void stage would be moved.

Qin Sang called after Ruan Zhi, who was about to leave. "Also, you find some more people for me. Preferably those who can protect me to Fengju Yumen and are familiar with the inside of Fengju Yumen, to help me search for spiritual objects inside."

To everyone's surprise, Master Ruan looked embarrassed. "This..."

"What Isn't there a force in the city that does this kind of business" Qin Sang frowned.

“Yes! Yes! It's just that the situation is special now. Those who are truly familiar with Fengjuyu Gate are very sought after and have mostly been hired for high prices. I wonder if Elder Qin has heard…”

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

Ruan Zhi, the attendant, glanced west. "Many years ago, there were rumors that the Sword Pavilion of ancient sword cultivators appeared in Fengju Yumen. The Sword Pavilion was a special dojo built by ancient sword cultivators to hone their sword intent and sword heart. It might contain the legacy left by ancient sword cultivators. As some fragments were discovered and confirmed to be from an ancient Sword Pavilion, the storm grew increasingly intense. Over time, rumors even spread that there was a special Sword Pavilion hidden in Fengju Yumen, which was the dojo of Ziwu Palace, the highest sword cultivator among the sword cultivators, the King of Swords, and the Supreme Sword Sovereign, Ziwei Jianzun, of ancient times. Whether true or false remained unknown, but more and more people were attracted to Yu Men Pass..."

Qin Sang seemed thoughtful, some fragments of Jian Ge had appeared.

There are five known storm realms: Ziwei, Tian Tong, Tian Xiang, Qi Sha, and the unnamed Jian Ge in Xi Tu. It is unknown whether any other realm has already been excavated.
