ss some of the mute woman's thoughts.However, they were destined to have no fate together.A mute's talent in the cultivation world belongs to the bottom tier. Even with a natal insect Gu like the one...Hearing one unbelievable rumor after another, even these top experts who faced disasters with calm composure were stunned.

Are they still familiar with this place

When the revered Qin Zhenjun appeared and spoke, the three sects of Buddha, Taoism, and Demon all bore witness. When combined with the many strange occurrences, they had no choice but to believe.

Qin Sang reminded them that they had already done their best, and there was nothing more to say. As for whether the other party believed it or not, it was none of his concern. He asked them to swear that they would not reveal it, and then dismissed everyone.

The end of the grand ceremony.

Unknowing guests left happily, their faces filled with novelty and excitement.

>

Everyone is discussing the ascension platform, thinking that it has given cultivators in this world another path. Those who cannot achieve the level of a Nascent Soul and can only wait to die have gained a glimmer of hope.

Insiders, however, are worried.

>

It's not that a new path has been created, but that the old one has been broken!

The ascension platform might be the only hope left.

It can be imagined that after the grand ceremony ends, news will spread throughout the cultivation world, inevitably causing a huge wave of searching for the ascension platform.

All parties must spare no effort, scouring ancient texts and seeking hidden secrets.

Mobilizing the strength of an entire world is obviously more powerful and hopeful than the power of a single person or faction.

This is exactly what Qin Sang wanted to see.

The guests have departed.

The Poison King and Elder Wan Du Shan bid farewell to Master Xing Ji. As they reached the temple gate, about to take flight back to Mount Wan Du, they suddenly heard someone speaking from behind them.

"Wait a moment, friend."

The Poison King turned around and saw Qin Sang walking over slowly. "I've long heard about the wondrous scenery of Mount Wan Du, how it differs greatly from other sects. I just wanted to visit."

Beware, the visitor is not friendly!

The Poison King's expression stiffened slightly.

Though I repeatedly tried to reason with him, he refused to engage in conversation. It's clear that he intends to take advantage of the King of Gu.

Since the other party has achieved the True Monarch status, I acknowledge it. However, this person is now coming to me, clearly with ulterior motives.

Is the Gu King still not enough to satisfy his appetite

That's going too far!

The Poison King was secretly annoyed, twitching the corner of his mouth. "Your arrival truly brightens our humble abode. Elder Ming, please return to the mountain gate and summon the disciples to welcome Your Majesty."

Master Ming received his orders and prepared to leave.

Qin Sang waved his hand to stop him and said, "A private visit doesn't need to be so ostentatious... This poor Dao has already made an appointment with the head of the Yan family of the Qiongying sect. We should visit the Qiongying sect first. If the two fellow Daoists have no urgent matters, why not go together"

The Poison King and Elder Ming exchanged glances, clasped their hands together, and said: "Master True Monarch has decreed, we dare not disobey."

Three people lingered for a moment, waiting for the arrival of people from the瓊影門.

The Qiongying Sect is mostly populated by female cultivators, with yin energy prevailing over yang.

The Grandmaster Yan was dressed in the attire of a Taoist priestess. She had a beautiful face and spirited eyes. Having spent many years in a position of power, she exuded an aura of authority that made people hesitant to approach her.

Back then, at the Liuzhou Auction, both Qin Sang and the Grand Elder of the Qiong Ying Sect were present. Unfortunately, both parties concealed their identities and did not reveal their true appearances.

Qin Sang learned from Elder Yan that Tian Jie, the great elder of Qiong Ying Gate, was about to face a tribulation and was currently in seclusion, which is why he couldn't come.

A group of people traveled without flying machines, riding on the clouds, chatting as they walked.

Qin Sang stated his purpose.

Upon learning that Qin Sang wished to inquire about the art of refining artifacts, Sect Master Yan readily agreed and said, "True Lord Qin enlightened us all, what a great righteousness! This humble skill of refining artifacts is nothing to be concealed. I'm just afraid it wouldn't meet True Lord's discerning eye."

Qin Sang did not neglect the Poison King and his companion either, discussing the art of antidotes with them.

With the sect leader of the Colorful Palm already having spoken, the Poison King couldn't very well hide anything.

They talked and laughed together until they reached the Qiongying Gate.

The Qiongying Gate is located north of Fujiangkou, on the Qiongying Lake not far from the East China Sea. The spirit array transforms into mist, concealing the mountain gate. Outsiders can only see a spirit island in the mist and a small building in the center of the lake.

Little did they know, beyond the lakeside cottage lay another world.

Upon entering the mountain gate, Qin Sang saw that the Spirit Island in the lake was dotted with stars, each one boasting a breathtaking and serene landscape. It truly lived up to its reputation as a sect primarily inhabited by female cultivators.

The head of the Yan Sect indeed kept his promise and immediately sent someone to retrieve the sect's classics.

Among them was the Gu Ling Zhi Shu that Qin Sang had specifically requested.

> It is not just a fragment sold at that year's auction.

Qingyingmen discovered the ruins of Xuanyiqishan, and after continued collection, not only obtained most of the inheritance of Xuanyiqishan, but also through generations of masters of Qingyingmen's research, understanding, and supplementation, it has become even better than the original.

The Shui Jing Qi Dao is known for its refining, but it claims to be inferior to the Qiong Ying Men.

This "Guiling Art" not only allows for the refinement of false spirit treasures, but when cultivated to its peak, it can truly imbue magic treasures with spirituality and advance them to become true spirit treasures!

And after advanced spiritual treasures, there are follow-up nurturing methods.

However, wanting the Lingbao Birth Device to take shape was far more difficult than refining a spiritual treasure. Qin Sang couldn't even dare to hope for it right now.

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

Even if Qin Sang didn't plan to cultivate the Gray Sparrow Sword, obtaining this refining technique was still beneficial. It broadened his horizons and even some insights could be applied to his Cloud Traveling Sword.

Qin Sang lingered in the Qiongying Gate for over ten days, receiving careful guidance from Elder Yan and the master blacksmith. He vowed not to divulge what he learned but managed to secure an opportunity for Shen Chen.

During that time, King of Poisons and Elder Ming also remained at Qiong Ying Men.

Not until Qin Sang had finished inquiring about the art of refining tools did the three leave together, heading straight for Wan Du Mountain. They made no stops along the way.

Mount Wanshan is located in Manzhou, a sparsely populated region.

The land of Manzhou is full of dangerous mountains and treacherous waters. Wan Du Mountain's cave dwelling, while a rare haven, is also shrouded in colorful mist that harbors various venomous creatures. It embodies the harsh nature of Manzhou.

After Qin Sang followed the Poison King and his men into the mountains, he saw that almost every Wan Du Shan disciple had a venomous insect or beast in their hand. Some were even injured due to improper handling of poisons, leaving them with grotesque appearances as ferocious as ghosts.

It's no wonder that outsiders who mention Mount Wan Poison have a fearful look.

Unknown when the message from King of Poisons was sent, they arrived to find Master Xingji already waiting there.

“Master, I apologize for the wait,” Qin Sang greeted with a smile.

Enter the main hall.

After Qin Sang met with the elders of Wan Du Mountain, the Poison King ordered the others to step back. Master Xing Ji also knew better and saluted before retreating.

Two people sat opposite each other, with spirit fruits and fairy peaches, jade dew and qiongjiang on the table.

Qin Sang picked up the jade cup before him. This Wandu Mountain was indeed extraordinary; the spirit wine in the cup was a deep, almost black emerald green. If not for the enticing fragrance, one would have suspected it wasn't wine but poison.

“Please, Lord Qin, taste the Ten Thousand Poisons Wine of our sect!” The Poison King gestured with his hand and drank a cup himself.

>

When the liquor entered his mouth, Qin Sang suddenly felt a spicy heat that went down his throat. It was like a fire line had fallen into his stomach, and a fiery explosion erupted within him, surging towards all limbs and bones, as if his whole body had been washed over with fire. It was extremely exhilarating.

"Good wine! Thank you, friend, for your hospitality!"

Qin Sang sighed in approval, then sighed, "When my friend was trapped by the ancient demon back then, I felt very distressed for my friend's situation. Unfortunately, my strength was too weak to help."

"Your kindness, Venerable One, is deeply appreciated," said the Poison King, holding the jade cup and gazing serenely at Qin Sang.

Qin Sang's voice was full of concern as he asked, "Friend Daoist, you were able to withstand the ancient demon, you must have relied on the power of your sect's sacred artifact, right After this fierce battle, I wonder how the sacred artifact is doing. Has it been damaged"

It truly is a sacred object from the Onmyoji!

The Poison King's expression darkened slightly, "Thank you for your concern, Venerable One. The holy artifact was depleted during that day's battle and is recovering very slowly because it is an inanimate object. It is currently being nurtured in a secluded place."

The Poison King is telling the truth.

>

The true form of the relic was a five-changing bloodthirsty miasma spirit. Unfortunately, Mount Wan Du only obtained a corpse, which was later refined into a gu worm, recovering some divine abilities, but it was very different from the real living worm.

First, the user of sacred objects must be proficient in the true teachings of Mount Wan Du. Because the sacred objects have been continuously refined by the successive masters of Mount Wan Du using true methods, they possess their divine powers today.

Second, it's difficult to control. The Poison King, as the master of Mount Wan Du, personally sacrificed years to refine it and paid a price for it.

Third, it must be placed in the Wan Poison Mountain restricted area each time it is used to recover for a long time. Last time with the Wu Xiang Immortal Sect, fortunately, the sacred object had swallowed the fire poison on Huo Xi Island beforehand, otherwise, it might have suffered irreparable damage.

However, if it lacked these features, I'm afraid Qin Sang would have been taken by the Holy One of Wisdom and the Qinghu Saint King before he could even visit.

The battle of the Wuxiang Immortal Sect, the gray cocoon formed by sacred artifacts was quite impressive, able to withstand divine abilities of the Nascent Soul stage. It was a rare and valuable protective treasure.

Qin Sang nodded, pondered for a moment and said: "Then this poor monk is relieved... To be frank with you, Daoist friend, this poor monk came here to ask a few questions, which are also related to your sect's sacred objects."

The Poison King's hand holding the jade cup suddenly stiffened, almost crushing it!

"Is it because the King of Gu is of a low realm and cannot satisfy the True Monarch's requirements"

A trace of mockery flashed in the Poison King's eyes, but his voice remained calm. "It's a pity that even if I offered up the holy artifact with both hands, it would be like a useless chicken rib in True Monarch's hands, unless True Monarch is willing to change his allegiance and learn the true teachings of Mount Wan Du..."

"Oh"

Qin Sang seemed unaware of the Poison King's anger, and curiously asked, "I didn't expect that your sect's sacred object would have such a unique origin. I see that the Gu King and the sacred object are quite different in appearance, yet there seems to be some connection between them. I wonder what the reason is"

The Poison King frowned.

This is a secret of Mount Wàn Dòu, how could it be spread outside

Qin Sang said meaningfully, "When I killed that man with the monstrous face, I unexpectedly discovered something. Right before he died, he was backlashed by the Gu King, and because there was still the poison of a sacred object in his body, the two powerful poisons actually merged into one, becoming incredibly terrifying. I wanted to keep his Nascent Soul to search for his memories, but I watched helplessly as he turned to ashes, unable to stop it."

The Poison King's face shifted colors as he heard this.

Mount Wàn Dú gifted the man with a monstrous face, a cursed artifact of fur. Its purpose was to constantly incite the poison within him, forcing him into constant struggle. However, no one could have predicted that a man with such formidable strength would die at the hands of another. Even in his final moments, he was ravaged by the venomous King's own counterattack.

With a sigh, the Poison King said, "Since you have killed that traitor, you must have obtained our sect's true transmission, The Insect Classic. I wonder if you have tried refining insects"

Qin Sang calmly replied, "I have tried it and benefited from it. My Daoist friend has a spirit insect that broke through using this technique."

The Gu King was born from the art of cultivating Gu worms. However, raising the Gu King consumed not only several rare poisonous insects but also incorporated the essence stripped from the corpse of a bloodthirsty miasma spirit. After obtaining the corpse, the ancestor tried to use the Gu-cultivating technique to refine a true bloodthirsty miasma spirit. Sadly, a dead thing is still a dead thing, capable of carrying only part of its former abilities. The only way was to split the essence and take a different approach, refining a new Gu worm that could inherit the powers of the bloodthirsty miasma spirit.

"Speaking of which, the Poison King couldn't help but glance at Qin Sang, “Our sect has tried countless times, all failures, lucky to have survived this Gu King. Because the Gu King and the Sacred Object originated from the same source, their toxicity can merge.”

Then, it was stolen by the strange-faced man!

Although Qin Sang didn't inquire about the strange man's background, he guessed that he must have had a close relationship with Wan Du Shan in the past, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to contact the Gu King.

“As I understand it, Daoist friend, there is only this one Gu King, and it cannot be replicated” Qin Sang asked.

The Poison King muttered, "I don't even know how it survived...If I had known this beforehand, I would have guarded it more strictly."

Wàn Dú Shān’s repeated attempts all ended in failure. In fact, it proved nearly impossible to succeed.

The Poison King didn't think he could accomplish it, only following his master's orders step by step. Unexpectedly, he succeeded, but the finished product was stolen by a thief, leaving him regretting his actions.

“Perhaps the Gu King has some connection with the Monster-Faced Man”

Qin Sang thought to herself.

After a moment of contemplation, Qin Sang suddenly said, “Your faction has invested a lot of resources in cultivating the Gu King. It shouldn't be just for a single insect, right”

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

Before the Poison King could answer, Qin Sang continued, "This poor monk left behind the Gu King because I am interested in the art of detoxification. The Gu King has already been used by this poor monk for other purposes and cannot be returned to you, but this poor monk has an idea."

The Poison King furrowed his brow, "Please enlighten me, True Master."

Qin Sang nodded, "I want to know the true intention of your sect in refining the Gu King. Although the Gu King is not here, I can control the poison of the Gu King and might be able to help."

The Poison King shook his head and said, "Unless the True Master is willing to return the Gu King to our sect."

"Tell me more," Qin Sang said seriously.

The Poison King fell silent for a moment before saying, "Cultivating the Gu King is related to the true transmission of our sect's skills. When the Gu King reaches its peak, both I and future generations of my sect will benefit greatly... True Monarch need not say more. If you want to merge with this poison, I can give you a bottle of holy relic's venomous spray. I also wish to request some of the Gu King's venom from True Monarch."

Qin Sang's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was not at all surprised.

He was very close to Duzhu. Duzhu refined the Gu King, which was equivalent to him refining the Gu King. He had a premonition of this before.

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

Seeing that Poison King was still unwilling to tell the truth, he simply stated: "When Gu Wang is perfected, shouldn't we let Gu Wang and the sacred object merge Or even devour it. This way, not only will the two poisons be fused, because that's just superficial! You want to recreate the original poison of the Bloodthirsty Mi Ling, and use this to verify and comprehend the true meaning of the kung fu, in order to prove your enlightenment, don't I have a point"

The Poison King's face changed upon hearing this.

But before the Poison King could reply...

Qin Sang waved his hand dismissively. "You needn't worry, I have no intention of forcing things. I want to discuss a mutually beneficial solution with fellow daoist."

Now that things have come to this, even the Poison King can no longer conceal anything. He silently said: "Even if I give you a sacred artifact, Master True, it will be impossible to restore the source of the Bloodthirsty Miasma's poison if you do not cultivate your sect's techniques."

How do you know I am not

Qin Sang smiled ominously.

Although he cannot recreate the blood-sucking miasma spirit, he can devour the poison of sacred objects and restore the true essence of the blood-sucking miasma spirit's poison, rather than a simple fusion.

This is the power of the poison pearl!

Qin Sang also discovered this while refining the Gu King, and couldn't help but marvel at the fat silkworm's talent.

The Poison King was incredibly surprised to hear this.

"This humble monk wishes to borrow the poison of a sacred artifact from my fellow cultivator. I will not harm the artifact's core, and it can recover slowly afterward. After merging it, obtaining the essence of the bloodthirsty miasma spirit's poison, I would like to give some to my fellow cultivator first. What do you think"

Qin Sang proposed.

The Poison King would naturally agree. He sighed, "It's a pity that the Demon Sound blocked my path, and it's too late to obtain the true poison of the Bloodthirsty Corpse Spirit."

Several months later.

Qin Sang left Wàndú Mountain and headed southeast, arriving at Yǎn Yuè Monastery.
