t there was no danger and the ravine was bottomless, Qin Sang could only speed up as continuing this way would waste too much time.“It’s been almost half an hour, and we’re still not at the bottom of..."No, no..."

Cui Xuanzi shook his head again and again, not quite sure what Qin Sang meant. He stroked his beard and smiled, "This old man would be delighted if the young lady were to join the Five Insects Sect, but I'm afraid our humble abode wouldn't be worthy of the young lady's discerning eyes."

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

Unexpectedly, the mute woman stood up directly, walked to Cui Xuanzi's side, and knelt down to pay her respects, "Disciple greets Master!"

Qin Sang didn't stop him, sighing inwardly.

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

The mute woman is very clever, she has already understood what he means.

In front of him, bowing to become a disciple of Cui Xuanzi was undoubtedly the best choice. Agatha's move was also decisive.

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

After settling down the mute woman, Qin Sang and Cui Xuanzi discussed the matter at hand.

"As a junior, I followed your instructions and contacted many friends to do my best to investigate for you. However, most of them came up empty…"

Cui Xuanzi's expression was a bit embarrassed.

"I know the head of a trade association, one with a mysterious background. Their business spreads across most of the Western Borderland, and they have very good connections. According to him, in the past two hundred years, only one Nascent Soul cultivator has emerged from the Western Borderland. They left the Western Borderland afterward, betrayed their master, and joined a large sect outside. Only then did they manage to break through and successfully form a Nascent Soul. Our Wu clan isn't particularly adept at swordsmanship, and it's even rarer in the Western Borderland. There's no one who matches the description given by our predecessors. Even outside the Western Borderland, I haven't heard of any Nascent Soul ancestor named Qingzhu."

Qin Sang frowned secretly. Senior Qingzhu was known as the Sword Demon in Xiaohan Domain, deeply immersed in the path of killing, and his swordsmanship was so unique. If he had also been in Xizhang back then, just one public appearance would have made him unforgettable.

There wasn't even a single piece of news.

To cultivate "Yúan Shen Yáng Jiàn Zhāng", one must participate in slaughter, comprehend the Dao of Killing. Even if one wants to be low-key, it's difficult.

>

Back then, Senior Qingzhu wouldn't have made a transmission error and died accidentally, right

Qin Sang shook her head, finding it too absurd.

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

And what about the rest

"I also asked him to help procure Myriad Ages Cedarwood and Soul-Calling Grass. A friend of mine mentioned he'd heard of them. But, according to him, these two are extraordinary items found nowhere in the world. Even the Chamber of Commerce has no records of anyone ever purchasing them. Finding them in Xijiang would be like searching for a needle in a haystack. Even…"

After a moment of hesitation, Cui Xuanzi cautiously glanced at Qin Sang's expression. "As far as he knows," she said, "spiritual materials and elixirs of this level are hard to find even throughout the entire Canglang Sea. It seems the only way for your predecessors to find them is by luck."

Hearing this, Qin Sang's eyes flashed, with surprise beyond compare.

Even the immortal camphor tree can be excused. After all, it's a wonder of the world.

How come there are so few ghost-calling plants

In the Xiaohan domain, although soul-attracting grass is rare, it occasionally appears at the Demon Sect's auctions. Some Demon Sect cultivators use it to aid their cultivation.

The Canglang Sea's range is vast; just the Wushen Continent is enough to rival several small, cold realms.

This guild master actually dares to say that it's difficult to find Soul-Attracting Grass throughout the Canglang Sea.

If this person were not a worthless ignoramus, spewing nonsense...

Qin Sang suddenly had a bad premonition and asked in a low voice, "Your friend is highly learned and should hold an important position in the Chamber of Commerce. I wonder if he has any connections to gather medicinal herbs for assisting in alchemy. I want to buy them to give to my junior disciples. Price is no object."

"Auxiliary Dan Formation"

Cui Xuanzi smiled wryly, "To be frank, senior, I once had that same thought. Later, I inquired with the person in charge and learned the truth. Even if this divine medicine could offer a slight help to forming golden cores, it would attract countless forces vying for it, even among humans. It's even rarer for our Witch Clan, how could it possibly appear in Xiliang"

Hearing this, Qin Sang finally realized where the problem lay.

It seems that the Canglang Sea is much more barren than the Xiaohan Realm!

Xiaohan Domain has ancient immortal battlefields, where you can occasionally unearth some primordial secret realms. Sometimes, with good luck, you might even find an entire herb garden. Precious spiritual creatures are often born here.

>

For example, spirit beasts that assist in the formation of the Golden Elixir, alone Hua Shan could provide its disciples at the false Golden Elixir realm with one. Each disciple would be given a Kun Li Jin Dan, and the other righteous sects and demonic cults wouldn't differ much either.

Only snow lotus and iris, such treasures of heaven and earth, would reach the point of scarcity.

Qin Sang originally thought that the storm outside the Canglang Sea was similar to an ancient fairy battlefield. Moreover, with Canglang Sea being so vast, its resources should be richer than the Xiaohan Domain.

Now I know, the spiritual herbs and materials in Canglang Sea are so scarce!

Qin Sang had eaten enough of the bitter pill, knowing how difficult it was to form a core. Even with auxiliary medicinal herbs, what were the chances for cultivators in the Canglang Sea Region to form a core

If the Wuzhu clan have their natal insects, wouldn't the Human clan have other methods

In such a barren place to cultivate, how much potential could there be Qin Sang suddenly missed Xiaohan Domain immensely.

However, right now I'm only hearing one side of the story from Cui Xuanzi. Seeing is believing.

Qin Sang's heart was in turmoil, but her face remained calm.

"The Cui Xuanzi continued, "As for the firebird demon beast you inquired about, there's none in Xizhang either. However, that official said that there were rumors of a firebird appearing in the Storm Sea region. You could perhaps look there..."

Cui Xuanzi spoke quickly, detailing all the information she had gathered to Qin Sang, and then handed him a jade slip.

The Jade Scroll is a concise map of most of the western regions, with scattered markings indicating some perilous and secret locations in the region that have been passed down for generations. This is exactly what Qin Sang desired.

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

However, these places are all deep within the Western Regions. Could I have drifted here from so far away

Qin Sang secretly thought.

Besides, there are a few more rumored to be the lairs of spirit worms. Cui Xuanzi has all been collecting them according to Qin Sang's list of strange insects.

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

Qin Sang's eyes lit up. The resources here were scarce, yet there were quite a few strange insects that were not found in the Xiaohan domain.

He was now at a loss, unable to decide which kind of strange insect to choose as his natal worm. Each species possessed extraordinary supernatural powers, and Qin Sang felt that they were all suitable.

However, these strange insects are endowed with peculiar talents and are deeply concealed. Their whereabouts are erratic and difficult to locate, and they exist only as rumors and hearsay. Whether they can actually be captured remains a mystery.

"Well done, you really put your heart into it..."

Qin Sang nodded, said halfway, suddenly frowned, turned his head to see outside the hall.

But then, outside the Wuchong Gate, among the mountains, dozens of colorful streaks of light shot towards the Wuchong Gate, coming in a mighty surge.

At this moment, Cui Xuanzi finally sensed the strangeness outside. She flashed out of the palace and saw the menacing uninvited guests, her face changing drastically.

“All disciples, listen up! Activate the Mountain Protection Array!”

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

Cuixuanzi shouted urgently.

The disciples of the Five Insects Sect also sensed something was amiss and flew out of the mountains in a panic.

'Boom!'

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

Each peak surged with activity, igniting dazzling beams that converged in the air, ultimately coalescing into a real lotus flower.

At this moment, a burst of frenzied laughter echoed from outside. "Old Cui Xuan, with esteemed guests arriving, you wouldn't come out to greet them but instead activated the Hu Shan Great Formation. Is this how you treat your guests"

Qin Sang sat motionless in the hall, taking a sip of clear tea.den. They were all ordinary flowers and grasses commonly seen in the mortal world. Yet, the old man was extremely focused, his movements gentle and absorbed in what he was doing.For a long time.Let me...
