range for his subordinates' guard squad to patrol around the sect.Entering the inner sect of Qingyang Demon Sect, one must first pass through a check by an elder or patrol guards.Every so often, a pat...The golden fruit indeed contained a liquid, a viscous mass of pulp flowing in the Elder's palm. It wasn't gold, but rather red like magma.

Even now, Qin Sang has yet to smell the fragrance of the spirit fruit.

He stared at the viscous liquid, a puzzled expression clouding his eyes. For some reason, this drop of fluid gave him a sense of familiarity, though he was certain he had never seen it before. The only possibility was that he had come across something similar in ancient texts.

The mass of viscous liquid was enveloped by the Earth-Lack Elder's spiritual energy, suspended in mid-air, radiating a mesmerizing luster like jade. More astonishingly, within the viscous liquid, golden flashes appeared intermittently.

The golden glow was extremely subtle, so if you didn't observe carefully, you might overlook it.

Qin Sang quickly discovered that these golden rays were not simple. They were like runes born from heaven and earth, something that no human could carve, extraordinarily mysterious.

Could this be...

Qin Sang suddenly thought of something, her eyes narrowed, with an expression of extreme surprise.

"Crimson Gold!"

The old man's gaze was lost in the viscous fluid before him, muttering to himself and revealing the true name of the substance, confirming Qin Sang's suspicions.

Crimson gold.

A strange and rare creature found throughout the world, it resembles liquid gold but is crimson in color, like flowing fire. It is therefore called "Crimson Fire-Kissed Gold."

Qin Sang was so surprised because in the records he had seen, this kind of spirit creature was not a spiritual herb, but a kind of refining material for magical artifacts, and it was a precious material that could be used to refine magic treasures!

Ancient texts clearly state that Chi Huo Liu Jin was a miraculous object born between heaven and earth. How could it possibly grow from vines

At the same time, Qin Sang also discovered that this mass of mucus was not exactly the same as the real Chi Huo Liu Jin. The golden glow on it was not as dense as described in ancient texts.

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

Just when Qin Sang was at a loss, the Earth Lack Elder reached into his spirit beast bag with his other hand and released both fire jade centipedes. Then he split a drop of red fire gold in the palm of his hand.

Two centipedes, seeing the incredibly delicious food, rushed forward eagerly and devoured it.

That drop of crimson fire, gilded like molten gold, shrunk at a speed visible to the naked eye and was swallowed by the two fire jade centipedes. Then, the Elder of Di Que placed his palm in front of him, watching with eager anticipation the fire jade centipede in his palm.

Qin Sang also turned his gaze to the Fiery Jade Centipede.

The Huoyù centipede, after swallowing the Chi Huo Liujin, suddenly became sluggish and lost its former vitality. Soon, a new change occurred on their bodies—a tiny flame sprouted at the tip of each leg. The centipedes seemed to walk on fire, and their jade-like bodies appeared even more crystal clear.

However, these flames didn't last long. The fire jade centipede returned to its original form, but the Earthless Elder's expression grew increasingly excited.

Is this... metamorphosis

Qin Sang had been in possession of the Fire Jade Centipede for a long time, and had consulted numerous sources. He was very familiar with its habits and knew that the Fire Jade Centipede's fiery footprint indicated it was about to begin its molt!

The metamorphosis of a strange insect is similar to a cultivator breaking through a barrier.

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

Every metamorphosis is a leap in quality of strength.

But similarly, the difficulty of a Qi Chong's metamorphosis is extremely high, even more difficult than a human cultivator breaking through a bottleneck!

Moreover, each kind of strange insect has different conditions for achieving metamorphosis.

The Yuling Sect is most skilled in the way of beast taming. It is said that they also know very little about the strange insects of the world. Coupled with the fact that almost all kinds of strange insects in the current cultivation world have disappeared, no one has gone to study them anymore.

The Fire Jade Centipede is now equivalent to the peak of the Profane Demon Stage, which is the peak of the thirteenth level of the Qi Refining Stage for human cultivators. In fact, twenty years ago when Qin Sang obtained the Fire Jade Centipede, it already had this strength.

If we were to judge solely based on ability, the Fire Jade Centipede should have already started its metamorphosis.

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

Over the years, having consumed so many dry yang quartz and fire origin stones, not only has my strength not improved, but I haven't seen the slightest sign of metamorphosis. It seems that the transformation of a strange insect is truly difficult.

Of course, Qin Sang didn't dare to let the Fire Jade Centipede transform easily. After transforming, the Fire Jade Centipede's strength would be comparable to his. Without a master, it would be difficult to subdue it with only external restraints.

After consuming a single drop of the Crimson Fire Golden Liquid, they showed signs of transformation! Of course, these are just signs for now. Whether or not they will successfully transform and how long it will take remain to be seen.

But this still surprised Qin Sang. His gaze shifted, fixing on the mass of viscous fluid.

Undoubtedly, the fire jade centipede's metamorphosis is definitely due to the red golden vine fruit.

...it's just unknown whether the Fire Jade Centipede's metamorphosis was triggered by the viscous fluid, or if it had consumed enough spiritual creatures and, coincidentally, underwent a qualitative change after ingesting this drop of fluid, causing the metamorphosis.

The old man suddenly burst into laughter.

“Haha... Sure enough! It really is like that!”

Immediately, he put the fire jade centipede into his spirit beast bag and turned to look at Qin Sang, his eyes playful.

It seems that Old Ghost was overjoyed to receive the Crimson Vine Fruit and took the initiative to explain, "This old man loves collecting strange insects from all over the world. I once heard that the ancestor of Kui Yin Sect obtained the ancient demonic insect Heart-Eating Worm. So, I lurked near the Kui Yin Sect for over thirty years until I found a chance to capture someone controlled by the Heart-Eating Worm. Unexpectedly, the Heart-Eating Worm was just a dead thing! The ancestor of Kui Yin used his unique skills to refine the worm corpse into a Gu worm, but it was just a shell, wasting this old man's time for so long. I didn't expect Easy Old Ghost to be so ambitious, not only attacking Yuanzhao Sect, but also plotting against Shaohua Mountain. He doesn't even think about what kind of person he is! Without the domineering ancestor Kui Yin, the Kui Yin Sect is just a shell. He dared to act as if he were swallowing an elephant! As expected, he overreached himself... What is Easy Old Ghost's purpose in sending you to infiltrate Shaohua Mountain"

Qin Sang's eyes flickered. The old man from Di Que recognized him as the mole of the Yi Lao Gui faction in Shaohua Mountain, which was the best outcome imaginable.

He didn't have any ulterior motives, he just wanted a place to stay.

“This junior didn’t know, back then Master Yi didn't make it clear. Afterward, this junior heard the news that the Quyin Sect was destroyed by Yuangong. Since then, Master Yi hasn’t contacted this junior again…”

Qin Sang replied.

The old man chuckled, "Old Ghost Yi is finished, of course he couldn't contact you. Not only Old Ghost Yi, but the Guiyin Sect was hated by the Yuanzhao Sect to the core and has been relentlessly pursued ever since. Only a handful remain, almost wiped out. Out of the three great Jindan cultivators, there's only one left. He was captured on the Ancient Immortal Battlefield by the new headmaster of the Yuanzhao Sect and his men. His Jindan was severely injured, forcing him to abandon his body and flee for his life. Now he is probably hiding in some dark corner, barely clinging to life. He might have already died under the celestial phenomena of the Ancient Immortal Battlefield. So you don't have to be afraid, no one from the Guiyin Sect will come to bother you."

Qin Sang was also secretly investigating the current state of the Quinyinzong and Yuanguangmen, but his channels were limited, and Yuanguangmen seemed to be deliberately blocking information. The news he received was ambiguous.

>Especially at the Jindan level, most of it is hearsay and unreliable.

It was only from the old man's mouth that I learned for the first time the true whereabouts of the last Nascent Soul cultivator of the Quyin Sect.ers also reacted, realizing that Zui Yuan was merging with the demonic force and setting an ambush at Ziwei Palace. They marched to attack the Tianxing Plateau. All of this happened after the demon ki...
