Chapter 182: Conquest

Master Uncle Yue, and Master Uncle Wu."The middle-aged man with the hawk nose was Master Dong. His gaze was like a knife, piercing their eyes, making them wince and lower their heads in fear.Master D...The creation of two Yishao Yuan Cones from the corpse of a black tiger was an unexpected delight. Wu, the owner, also admitted that if it weren't for his rapid progress in the art of refining weapons recently, it would have been impossible to refine two Yishao Yuan Cones.

These two Devouring Cones are comparable in power to the previous one, but without the venomous fangs of the demon snake, they lack the insidious and unpredictable means.

However, Qin Sang was very satisfied with this.

After that, Qin Sang stayed in the Wen Yue Fang Market for a few more days and attended a secret shop gathering. Not every member of the secret shop attended every gathering, and this time there were only ten people present, including Qin Sang. There were three cultivators at the Qi Refining Stage, one independent cultivator, two cultivators from other Xianxiu sects, and most of the Qi Refining cultivators, like Wu Zhuangshi, had a notable skill.

Qin Sang found out that every one of them had a good reputation and no bad deeds. It was even more strange that Granny Jing let herself in so easily.

"Wu, the shopkeeper, said: 'Amongst the many large and small sects of Yuncang Dazi, Shaohua Mountain is one of the Eight Righteous Sects and has a reputation for being well-respected. Perhaps Elder Jing thinks that with her sect's influence, Qin Daoist friend would not dare to act recklessly.'"

Qin Sang thought about it, and it made sense. His footprints were plain as day; a simple check would reveal everything.

Shaohuashan prides itself on righteousness, but its disciples dare to do evil. If they were discreet in their actions, perhaps it would be ignored. But if they tarnish the reputation of the sect in the cultivation world, Shaohuashan will clean house before Jing Po's grandmother even has to lift a finger.

In the secret shop, those participating in the gathering were either looking for help hunting demons or exploring treasures, some were buying magical artifacts and weapons. One cultivator at the foundation-building stage invited Qin Sang to go deep into Yuncang Marsh to hunt demons, but Qin Sang politely declined.

Finally, Qin Sang asked several Daoist friends to help him find the remnants of the dried-up spirit spring and offered a reward. Then he left the Wen Yue Fang market and returned to his sect for a visit. This time, he finally saw Senior Brother Wen again. Just like before, he asked him to inquire among their familiar fellow disciples whether there was any relevant information. The price is negotiable.

The ground sank.

The oppressive, sinister Qi continued to relentlessly assault the various barriers, but within the sunken depths of the earth, an atmosphere of utter stillness and desolation prevailed.

Qin Sang was familiar with the place, avoiding the restrictions and slipping in through an inconspicuous crack. With a sweep of his divine sense, he discovered that the depths of the cave dwelling had been opened, indicating that someone was cultivating inside.

He absorbed the earth-shaker's qi for his corpse refinement, hoping to avoid disturbing anyone. He quietly hid himself and slipped away to the most secret corner of his memory.

Shortly after, Qin Sang came to a stone wall with some tiny crevices that were hard to see with the naked eye. Qin Sang reached out and pressed against the stone wall, confirming the location before silently activating his escaping technique. His figure flickered for a moment, then he 'squeezed' through the crevice.

To everyone's surprise, as they went deeper into the stone wall, the cracks grew wider and wider, eventually becoming large enough for two or three people to pass through. The cracks led straight down into the depths of the earth. Qin Sang appeared and didn't hesitate at all, quickly descending downwards. The deeper he fell, the more intense the evil aura became, and the colder it felt. Even though he was already a Qi Refining period cultivator, this level of coldness was still bearable.

Finally, it burst out from the yin-sha qi. Between the yin-sha qi and the di-sha qi, there was a blank space. The two kinds of cold and sinister qi were clearly separated and did not merge.

Because Yin Sha's Qi is merely the gathering of a sufficient amount of death qi, resentment, and yin qi over many years, evolving into one entity. Its essence is merely a more treacherous form of yin qi. While Di Sha's Qi is the ultimate yin and evil qi nurtured by heaven and earth, the two are incomparable. Yin Sha's Qi, when encountering Di Sha's Qi, will be easily devoured.

Qin Sang swept his gaze around and found a stone platform. He activated the Wen Yang Zhu and several other warming artifacts, feeling some warmth return before taking out a dozen long-necked silver bottles from his pouch.

This is a continuation of the previous response.

This silver vase is called the Shaoyin Magnetic Vase, a special artifact that cannot be measured by ordinary means. The vase contains magnetic light which can collect and appease the violent earth evil energy, preventing it from exploding the vase.

Of course, the Shaoyin magnetic bottle is not only able to collect the earth's evil qi but also has many other uses.

The method for refining the Shao Yin Magnetic Bottle was found by Qin Sang on Baota Peak. Only one type of special magnet was difficult to find, while other spiritual materials were not particularly rare. He bought all the magnets from Tianhen Lou and asked Wu shopkeeper to refine dozens at once, under the pretense of collecting as much Di Sha Qi as possible.

After returning from the cave, Qin Sang reviewed the classics and learned about the earth's evil energy. He realized that this kind of evil energy was actually rare and must have a special reason for its birth. It was even harder to find than the five elements' yin objects. If he didn't prepare some earth's evil energy beforehand, entering the ancient immortal battlefield would require him to be distracted to search for it, and there was no guarantee that he would even find any.

Arranging these Shaoyang magnetic vials in a row before him, Qin Sang reached out and grabbed one. He opened the vial, and behind him, his spiritual energy transformed into a hand that grasped towards the pitch-black darkness below.

A wisp of sinister Qi was grabbed by the palm infused with spiritual power. It struggled violently, like a living creature, clashing against the palm. Then, a terrifying chill surged along the connection between Qin Sang and the palm, invading his body.

Qin Sang's expression changed slightly. This was when he truly experienced the terror of the Earthly Fiend Qi. He hurriedly used all his strength to activate the Warm Sun Pearl and other items, then without hesitation, unleashed wave after wave of prohibitions against the Earthly Fiend Qi. As layers of prohibitions suppressed it, that strand of Earthly Fiend Qi finally became docile, transforming into a black mass of energy.

But Qin Sang still didn't dare to directly contact the demonic energy with his flesh. He waved his hand, summoning the Shaoyin magnetic bottle, aiming its mouth at the clump of demonic energy and absorbing it into the bottle.

Only a sliver of silver magnetic light flashed within the bottle. After the earth-killing Qi entered the glass bottle, the bottle swayed slightly before quickly calming down.

Qin Sang patiently waited for a while, confirming that the Shao Yin magnetic bottle could suppress the evil spirit energy. Then, he repeated his trick, carefully collecting the earth evil energy bit by bit.

Time passed slowly, Qin Sang sat motionless on the stone platform like a sculpture. After a long time, Qin Sang suddenly opened his eyes and reached out to summon the Shao Yin magnetic bottle back into his hand.

Looking into the bottle from the mouth, it was filled with shimmering silver light. A faint black mist could be seen deep within. Though the magnetic bottle wasn't full yet, Qin Sang decided not to collect any more, lest something unexpected happen.

At this time, his face turned slightly pale. He hurriedly leaped upwards, expelling the cold air from within his body before returning to continue absorbing the earth's sinister energy.

Ten days later.

A fissure in the ground suddenly flashed with a phantom figure. The disciple guarding the sinkhole remained oblivious, still secluded in his cave dwelling for cultivation.

Qin Sang filled over ten Shao Yin Magnetic Jars. After his Corpse Refining Technique became proficient, he could successfully refine two to three Sha Corpse with each jar of Earthly Evil Qi. As long as he wasn't refining living corpses, it would be enough to sustain him for a long time.

After all, it's not easy to get the body of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
