ur way, we will fight and retreat, looking for an opportunity to escape. When the time comes and the sect investigates, we can find excuses. What do you all think…”Everyone formed a simple battle form...Inside the cave dwelling.

Qin Sang set up many restrictions and then laid a defensive spirit array before feeling at ease.

Then, he sat cross-legged before his avatar, breaking the tip of his finger to squeeze out a drop of blood and perform the Great Blood Sacrifice.

After swallowing the essence blood, the avatar's complexion flushed red for a moment, its aura suddenly surged by a large margin, then gradually stabilized.

Qin Sang opened his eyes, thought for a moment, and just like before, forced out several drops of blood, injecting them into his external physical body to slowly refine it. Then he sealed the cave dwelling and quietly left.

Months later, Qin Sang returned to this sea area.

He first returned to that island.

The island was lush and green, the place where the Kui Dragon's blood had splattered. The grass and trees grew exceptionally vigorously there, and the traces left by the great battle had long been concealed.

Qin Sang appeared before a mountain, gazing around and reminiscing about the past. The Qilin Dragon had come from the clouds, and those people had rushed to support it after discovering it was under attack. It wouldn't take long for them to reach their cave dwelling given how quickly they arrived.

In order to prevent any of the people from Heishen Mountain who hadn't left, Qin Sang's actions were very cautious.

It took him half a month, he almost walked all the islands around, to his surprise, he found no trace at all.

>

Not even a spirit-infused island would do.

Qin Sang was unwilling to accept this, so he ordered the Heavenly Eye Butterfly to keep its Heavenly Eyes open and investigate more carefully. However, the result was still the same.

The mysterious person seemed to appear out of thin air.

"Could it be that those people came through a teleportation array Or is their hidden lair's concealment formation too powerful, even deceiving the Sky-Watching Butterfly"

>

Qin Sang expanded his search area, even diving underwater to look for islands hidden beneath the surface, but he was still unsuccessful.

For such a long time, there have been no signs of activity from Heishen Mountain.

With no other choice, Qin Sang could only temporarily give up and wait for the Sea of Demons to return to normal. Then he would go back to hunt down the disciples of Heishen Mountain, seeking revenge while gathering information.

Having made up his mind, Qin Sang withdrew from this sea area and returned to Lan Dou Island.

The market.

The avatar is diligently cultivating, its cultivation progressing rapidly. It has already broken through to the seventh layer of the Qi Refining Period.

“Faster than when I cultivated with Soul Pills back then…”

Qin Sang shook her head and didn't stop, busy with her own affairs.

Rays of light poured into the cave dwelling, filling it almost instantly. The outer form had no choice but to retreat to a corner of the wall to cultivate.

Qin Sang's fingers danced, drawing those brilliant lights and rapidly arranging them into a large formation. Then, with a wave of his hand, three jade boxes appeared in his palm.

The high-grade spirit stones have been gathered, so the remaining Xuan Iron pillars can be refined into a banner pole.

Qin Sang's eyes were filled with anticipation. The flagpole was successfully forged, signifying that the preparation for refining the Ten Directions Yama Banner was complete. All he needed now was for the Qisha Hall to open, and he would possess a top-grade magic treasure.

In addition, his skill in alchemy will also make a leap forward during the process of refining the flagpole.

The Xuan Tie pillar concealed an extremely intricate formation within. Even if Qin Sang could only perceive a small part of it, it would be enough to make him comparable to those renowned weapon refining masters.

Three high-grade spirit stones were laid out in a row.

The spirit formation was complete. Qin Sang added another layer of barrier restrictions outside, then took out the Xuan iron pillar and placed it in the center of the spirit formation. Next, he struck a high-grade spirit stone.

The second refinement, Qin Sang was noticeably more skilled than last time, with a higher efficiency in utilizing spirit stones.

In a short time, the Xuan Tie column began to "melt." Qin Sang's expression tightened. His fingertips popped out a jade bottle containing the essence of a monster's soul.

Thanks to the previous improvement in his refining skills, Qin Sang was very skilled and the refining process went very smoothly. A flagpole gradually took shape.

Then comes the second, third...

The separated parts grew larger and larger, while the main body of the Xuan Tie Pillar became smaller and smaller. In the end, only a small clump remained, refined into the last banner pole.

'Hold!'

Qin Sang let out a low growl, and the light on the banner pole swept across, finally condensing into shape.

Beside him, there were fourteen flagpoles set up, and with the last one added, there were a total of fifteen!

Qin Sang's face lit up with joy, and he beckoned his hand to check it out. Suddenly, there was a crisp sound, and upon closer inspection, he saw that the top-grade spirit stone in the center of the formation had shattered.

The spirit stone's spiritual energy has been depleted and consumed.

As he had expected, this was precisely the third top-grade spirit stone that had been used up, barely enough to support him in refining the Xuan Iron Pillar.

Fifteen flagpoles have been completed…

Qin Sang brought the staff together and found that their energies were still connected, as if they were one. During the refining process, he had only used a trick to separate the Xuan Tie pillar without damaging the restrictions inside.

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

It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I can't.

Even the revered ancestor Lian Kui Yin couldn't achieve it. After a century of deep thought, and because the Xuan Tie Pillar was originally broken in two, he finally had a brilliant idea to use this roundabout method.

"It's a pity that the whereabouts of the other Ten Directions Yama Flags are unknown. If all the flag staffs were gathered, it might be possible to restore the Xuantie Pillar. This kind of treasure is not something ordinary people can refine. Even the ancestor Kui Yin couldn't see through the restrictions inside, and it is most likely an ancient treasure left by a powerful being from ancient times. If the Xuantie Pillar could be repaired, one could only imagine its immense power. Currently, refining the Ten Directions Yama Flags, while a top-grade magic weapon, feels like underutilizing their potential..."

Qin Sang murmured to herself.

It is said in the Quiyin Sect's truyn that the Ancestor Quiyin failed during his tribulation, causing five of the banners to be destroyed. But Qin Sang felt that the Xuan Tie Zhu was extraordinary, and the Yuanying Heavenly Tribulation should not have destroyed the banner poles, just lost somewhere.

Now, the Quyi Sect has been destroyed for over a hundred years.

>

Before he left, the battle between Xiao Han Yu, Tian Xing Meng, and Zui Yuan was imminent. Now who knows what has become of it Even if he returned to Xiao Han Yu, the hope of gathering the flag poles is slim.

"Forget it, don't overthink things! A top-grade magic treasure is already a priceless treasure that even the world's cultivators dare not dream of. Even if it's not a relic left by an ancient powerful being, just a legendary spiritual treasure above magic treasures, it's incredibly rare. With my strength, I can't even activate it, I can only watch helplessly."

Qin Sang put away his thoughts, checked that the flagpole was in order, and carefully stored it away. Then he settled into meditation, savoring the insights gained during the process of refining the flagpole.

The restrictions within the Xuantie Pillar were mysterious and vast, causing Qin Sang to feel a sense of insignificance.

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

Such an understanding cannot be achieved overnight.

The next day at noon, Qin Sang woke from his meditation. His eyes flickered with both excitement and confusion, but he had only glimpsed a superficial layer. He lowered his head and pondered for a moment before stepping out of the cave.

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

He rented a shop in the marketplace, hung up a sign for blacksmithing, and prepared to settle down there permanently.

On one hand, he cultivated Xingyuan's body refinement and weapon refining, comprehending the restrictions of the Xuantie Pillar. On the other hand, he made friends with local cultivators to inquire about the Lan Dou Gate. His avatar could also quietly cultivate, without neglecting any aspect.

The small shop has opened.

Qin Sang hired someone to watch the shop and often went back and forth between the shop and his cave dwelling.

Thanks to his superb blacksmithing skills, even without using the Nine Nether Demon Fire, the magic weapons he forged were more powerful than those of others. His reputation quickly spread.that if you don't have the strength of a late-stage alchemist, it's not recommended to hunt monsters in that area. Otherwise, once you alarm the monster horde, you won't even be able to run away.Altho...
