Tao Zhenren expressed understanding, choosing the Fa Lu is the most serious matter in a cultivator's life path, and no matter how careful they are, it is not too much.

Leaving the Hall of Investiture, the two returned to the main hall. Tao Zhenren then mentioned some more benefits and increased the stakes.

After staying in the mountains for several days, Qin Sang expressed his intention to leave. Tao Zhenren tried to persuade him to stay, but to no avail. He personally escorted Qin Sang out of the mountains.

Looking at Qin Sang's receding figure, Tao Zhen knew that the hope of recruiting him was slim. He shook his head and sighed softly.

After leaving Taoheng Mountain, Qin Sang returned directly to Yunfeng City without stopping and then used the teleportation array to head north.

After several journeys, they finally arrived at a fairy city built on water, called Youdaiguan.

>

Pillar after pillar of stone plunged into the water, rising hundreds of feet above the surface. Streets and houses were built between the pillars, forming a magnificent immortal city.

Each stone pillar is engraved with runes, protecting it from the erosion of water currents. Once an enemy invades, the pillars can instantly transform into the cornerstones of a powerful protective array. The layout is ingeniously designed.

Qin Sang walked down the street, gazing at the river with a lowered head, paying particular attention to those stone pillars.

When there weren't many lines, he looked up.

This fairy city had no walls. Qin Sang was at the edge of the fairy city, and could see outside with one glance.

Looking into the distance, one can see a grand river like a jade belt. Its wide surface glitters with ripples, and the vast flow of water rushes in from the southwest, flowing under the Immortal City.

This river is exactly the San Yuan River under Mount Xuánjī.

This river flows through Baishi City, absorbing countless water systems. It finally merges into the west side of Xinjia Fairy Lake. The confluence of rivers and lakes is only ten miles away from this fairy city.

>

It is said that there is also a large river comparable to the Three Springs River on the east side of Star Island Fairy Lake.

The Star Island Fairy Lake is vast and boundless, with countless rivers converging into it. The two largest rivers are particularly impressive, resembling two ribbons floating across the Star Island Fairy Lake.

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

This fairy city happens to be located at the junction of various rivers and lakes, hence its name, Youdaiguan. To the east, there is a corresponding Zuodai Pass as well.

Because of their location, these two fortress cities are second only to the City of the Pot in fame.

The City of the Crucible is located in the Star Island Immortal Lake, second only to Mount Heemin as the most important Xian city in the world of Gushan. It is considered the number one Xian city by cultivators of Gushan.

This city is also one of Qin Sang's travel destinations.

Having arrived at the You Daituan, Qin Sang couldn't continue advancing any further. He had to fly into Xingdao Xianhu.

According to his understanding, it would take about ten days of flight to reach the teleportation array that could transport them to Xinjia Xianhu's hinterland. Then they would have to fly for another distance before reaching Chuzhong City.

The layout of Star Island Immortal Lake is like several layers artificially cut out. Such an arrangement would only be made to defend against enemies. Once an incident occurs, it can immediately cut off the inside and outside, setting up layers of defense.

>

After leaving the city, Qin Sang followed the San Yuan River to its estuary, enjoying the beautiful scenery where the river met the sea. Then, he rode his escape light into Immortal Lake.

Star Island's fairy lake was vast like the sea; to ordinary people, it simply looked like the ocean.

After a burst of speed, Qin Sang couldn't help but sigh, "The name 'Star Island' truly lives up to its reputation."

This was his first time seeing an archipelago with so many lakes and seas. Islands of all sizes were scattered everywhere, and the aura of cultivators could be felt on many of them.

Xingdao Xianhu and He'ming Shan sit north and south of each other, with completely different atmospheres. People here have relaxed smiles on their faces, something rarely seen on He'ming Shan, which is filled with tension and solemnity.

In a bustling world like this, it's truly difficult to find such a peaceful and serene place.

A gentle breeze.

On the lake, sails like banners billowed in the wind. Qin Sang noticed among them a treasure ship going back and forth.

After some thought, Qin Sang pressed down on the escape light and landed at the bow of the ship. After negotiating with the boatman, he entered the cabin.

>

More than a month.

The hull shuddered.

"Reporting to the celestial immortal, we have arrived at Dujia Island."

A respectful voice came from outside the cabin.

>

Qin Sang disembarked and landed on the island. The scale of this island was similar to that of the fairy city, and it served a similar purpose. There was a teleportation array on the island. Nearby cultivators who wished to go to the depths of the Star Island Fairy Lake would have to come to Du's Island first.

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

“Finally, it’s almost here…”

In the depths of Star Island's fairy lake, Qin Sang was flying slowly at a height of a hundred zhang above the water.

Looking ahead, Qin Sang's mind flashed with the feng shui map of Xingdao Xianhu. The Pot City was just ahead.

At that moment, Qin Sang turned his gaze northwards.

The dojo of the sword master, Zhen Ren, is called Jian Xin Island, located north of Hu Zhong City. Qin Sang decided to first enter Hu Zhong City to investigate before visiting Zhen Ren.

Whoosh!

Qin Sang fell onto the lake surface, and before him was the City in a Cauldron.

Some people call Chuzhongcheng "Chuzhong Island" because the entire city is an island.

From the shore extend planks of wood, serving as a pier for boats and a gateway into the city.

Qin Sang gazed at this immortal city. The island's terrain was not flat, with undulating hills and vast tracts of forest. However, pavilions, towers, and halls could be seen on the mountains and among the trees, some densely clustered, others scattered sparsely.

The Pot City was probably even larger than Crane's Singing Mountain, Qin Sang thought to himself. He stepped onto the wooden path and paid the guard his entry fee before entering the Immortal City.

After entering the city, Qin Sang's first goal was the auction houses or chambers of commerce in the city.

Qin Sang didn't have to make much effort to find out that the biggest auction house in the city belonged to the Gushen Guild. This guild was also quite interesting, named after 'Gushen'.

The auction house will be set up on the highest peak of Juzhong City, which is also the most prosperous place in Juzhong City.

At the peak, there stood a magnificent nine-story wooden building, the most eye-catching.

Qin Sang arrived at the wooden building, glanced up at it, stepped inside, and let out a breath of air.

>

“This Immortal is courteous...”

A young man smiled and walked up.

Qin Sang asked directly, "When will the auction begin"

The young man was taken aback for a moment, but his smile remained. "The Immortal's arrival is opportune; there's an auction about to begin, just..."

Before the young man could finish his words, Qin Sang said, “Lead the way.”

The youth knew that some cultivators had eccentric personalities and didn't dare to be negligent. He bowed respectfully, led the way, and quickly explained the rules of the auction to Qin Sang.

He was racking his brains internally, the other party's aura likely belonged to an ascended Xuan True Person. This auction was of a level comparable to the Divine Cave Realm, it would probably be difficult to attract the attention of a True Person.

Qin Sang, however, did not change his decision and followed the young man into a large hall on the third floor, finding a spot at the back to sit down.

Soon, the hall was filled with cultivators. Qin Sang looked around and found that most of them were cultivators at the Golden Core stage.

After a short while, a middle-aged man walked onto the stage.

The following process was much like the auctions he had experienced before, but Qin Sang was still quite interested, watching as one after another unseen treasures were auctioned off.

"Yu Liu Jin, with its unique properties, can be used to forge many kinds of talismans. This artifact is well-known, and I'm sure many fellow cultivators have heard of it. Those whose cultivation aligns with the talismans should not miss this opportunity. The starting bid is 500,000 low-grade spirit stones..."

The middle-aged man spoke with fervor, forcefully lifting the red silk covering the jade platter. Beneath it lay a treasure of goose yellow brocade, like silk and water.

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

Qin Sang, upon hearing this, slightly bowed his head and carefully looked at Yu Liu Jin.

The cultivators in this world also use spirit stones for transactions. They can normally use spirit stones.

Yulu Jin is the most expensive treasure to date, and Qin Sang can guess the reason. In this world, spiritual objects that can be used to cast altars and stabilize the altars are the most sought after.

As soon as this item appeared, many cultivators' eyes gleamed with fervent desire.

"Five hundred and fifty thousand!"

"600,000!"

The price soared to a staggering height very quickly. Those who got their hands on it were ecstatic, but also felt a twinge of pain in their wallets.

Qin Sang looked for a while, roughly understanding the situation, then got up and walked out.

The young man had been waiting outside all along. He hurried forward and said with a smile, "I wonder if these treasures are beyond the sight of the celestial immortal It's all my fault for being blind to their value. In six months, there will be an auction of real people level. I wonder if the celestial immortal is interested"

Saying that, the young man handed over a notice.

Qin Sang spread it out and found that the post was like an invitation, listing some treasures with brief descriptions.

The young man reminded timely, "This auction is mostly done through barter, or by trading with Dao court merit. If a celestial being participates, they should be prepared in advance."

Qin Sang responded with an "um," and like a whirlwind, he said that transactions at the level of Yuan Ying cultivators rarely used spirit stones.

But this world has gained a substitute.

The treasures above, while only considered decent in the eyes of Nascent Soul cultivators, Qin Sang still decided to accept the invitation and broaden his horizons.

He inquired further, and couldn't help but feel disappointed.

This auction is already the top-tier auction of the Jue Shan Association. The next higher level is a large-scale auction held once every few decades, which will take another ten years or so.

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

The so-called "genuine person level" actually refers to ascending Xuan Zhenren, but Qin Sang wanted to participate in the trading between cultivators of the Nascent Soul stage.

"Outside the Taoist sect, there aren't many cultivators who have reached the Nascent Soul stage..."

Qin Sang thought to himself, "The Daoist sect controls the higher-level talismans and would never allow too many powerful cultivators to appear outside of their ranks."

These cultivators who have ascended to the divine realm generally do not reveal their presence, and their transactions only occur between themselves. He is still an outsider and needs an introducer.

>

The reason for wanting to participate in this kind of trade fair is that his current strength is too limited, and he wants to supplement a few self-defense treasures. It would be best to obtain a pseudo-spirit treasure or even a spirit treasure suitable for a force cultivator.

If possible, he is willing to exchange it for four copies of the Teng Snake Seal.

Since this spirit treasure fell into his hands, it was mainly used by his avatars. Although Qin Sang's main body mastered the Tongbao Jue, he couldn't unleash the full power of this treasure.

Now that my avatar has been lost, it might as well be used to exchange for a more suitable spirit treasure.

However, finding the right deal isn't always that easy.

Qin Sang thought to himself, he still had quite a few things of unknown origin in his hands, such as the three incomplete treasures he obtained from the Wuxiang Immortal Sect.

The Shadow Sword, the Shattering Drum, and the Scroll!

Even the Wu Xiang Xian Men sect was unaware of the true nature of the three treasures, so they placed them in the Lang Huan Yu Ge.

Qin Sang had spent many years researching the art of refining weapons, but these were beyond his capabilities.

However, the cultivators of this realm are far superior in both strength and vision compared to those of the Storm Realm. Perhaps a master craftsman could discern their true nature and repair them.

Thinking about these things, Qin Sang left the Ju Shan Hui and first rented a quiet cave dwelling on the island. Then he began to gather information about the forces of the Xingdao Xianhu Sect, especially those sects that granted talismans to outsiders.

He has already collected a portion of them at He Crane Mountain, this place must be more complete, verifying each other.

Several months later.

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

Qin Sang sat cross-legged in his cave abode, several jade slips arranged on the ground, and one held in his hand.

This one in my hand, Qin Sang picked out from a mess of information, not sparing any effort to verify it, basically confirming that they are all real.

The Jade Scroll recorded several sects, and Qin Sang believed that some of them might be a good fit for him and that he might have a chance to receive the Taoist initiation.

The first sect is Zhu Yan Palace.

Zhu Yan Palace is a sect in Xingdao Xianhu. The sect teaches the Seven Star Zhuyan Rune, which is precisely the Fire Department Dharma Rune Qin Sang was searching for.

The Zhuyan Palace will confer ordination to outsiders, and Qin Sang has already inquired about the conditions for conferring ordination, which are all listed.

One is rather difficult to obtain, the qualification for receiving a transmission of talismans is only available to those affiliated with the subordinate sects of Zhuyan Palace. Unless it is the descendant of someone who has done great favors for Zhuyan Palace.

If you seek the Seven Stars Zhuyan Scroll, you might have to find a way to infiltrate a subordinate sect.

Qin Sang wasn't the first time doing this, nor did he feel embarrassed. It's just that this way, he might have to lurk in Zhu Yan Palace for a very long time.

He pondered for a moment, then looked at the second sect he had chosen—Thunder Left Manor.

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

And the third sect—Lei Ting Youfu.

Here is the translation:

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

When Qin Sang first learned of these two sects, he was also quite surprised.

The two sects not only have similar names, but their mountain gates are also both located in the Star Island Immortal Lake.

Although Qin Sang didn't find concrete evidence, all signs pointed to the two sects possibly belonging to the same school in the past. For some unknown reason, they split into the Left and Right Fangs.

Now, the Left Estate of Thunder and the Right Estate of Thunder are located in the east and west of Star Island Immortal Lake respectively. They don't get along with each other, and there is often fighting between their disciples.

The Left and Right Bureaus of Thunder each possess a shrine, and are both capable of transmitting talismans. Even the names of their talismans are the same—the Gao Shang Shenxiao Talisman.

As for whether there is a difference between the talismans of the Left and Right Courts, Qin Sang is still unclear.

The Gao Shang Shen Xiao Lu is affiliated with the Lei Department of talismans and was one of the reasons Qin Sang chose them.

Both the Left and Right Palaces granted external ordination, unlike Zhuyan Palace which restricted its affiliated sects. However, it was said that the conditions were quite strict and difficult to fulfill.

The Three Great Sects are the top powers in Star Island Immortal Lake. Although it's not easy to measure the strength of talismans simply by power, it's enough to illustrate some points.

There are also several other sects as backup options. If possible, Qin Sang would prefer to obtain the talismans from these three sects.

>

Three major sects, how to choose, still need to think about.

Choosing the thunderous left or right, without bothering with disguises, might be easier.

However, Qin Sang was uncertain when he would be able to manipulate the Azure Phoenix Origin Thunderpower. What if he couldn't control it even by the late Nascent Soul stage That could be a problem.

Using the tortoise demon pill to build an altar, it's estimated that it could only support him in cultivating to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

>

Zhu Yan Palace's greatest advantage is its fire-based talismans. I have many kinds of spiritual fire at my disposal, and once the young Suzaku spirit awakens, it can also help me.

But no matter which sect he chose, there was one thing Qin Sang had to consider: these three major sects, as top forces in the Star Island Fairy Lake, very likely had powerful cultivators of the Divine Transformation level.

Initiation ceremonies should be conducted in the sect's main hall. If one attends with a lowered cultivation level, there is a risk of exposure.

While Qin Sang was deep in thought, the prohibition outside his cave dwelling was suddenly triggered.

A maidservant's voice came from outside, "I respectfully report to the Immortal Lord, that Qi Master's disciple has opened the cave dwelling's restrictions. It is said that Qi Master has completed his alchemy and just emerged."

"Understood," Qin Sang said in a deep voice, putting away the jade slip and getting up to walk outside. He decided to visit this Master Qi first.
