this demonic beast was because a friend of mine leading a merchant caravan was attacked by it. Not only were the goods destroyed, but my friend almost lost his life to the beast's fangs. He managed to...Qin Sang rented a stone house and set up several layers of barriers inside. He took out the 'sheepskin' from his mustard seed bag.

On the outside, 'Sheepskin' still looks the same.

When Qin Sang urged his spiritual power onto it, a faint white light immediately appeared. Before the Ziwei Secret Scripture could fully unfold, Qin Sang withdrew his spiritual power, and the 'sheepskin' returned to normal.

Holding the Purple Violet Secret Scroll in her hand, Qin Sang fell into deep thought.

At this moment, he was unable to decide what to do with it.

At this moment, the spiritual tide is just beginning to show signs. These signs are slowly brewing and will gradually lead to frequent celestial phenomena and outbreaks of cloud beasts.

Until the ancient battlefield entered a period of complete chaos, celestial phenomena occurred day and night, cloud beasts went mad, and unless one was extremely powerful, other cultivators would find it difficult to survive on the ancient battlefield.

At this time, the Seven Heroes' Pass will be closed off, and only then will the Spiritual Tide arrive gradually.

As usual, the speed at which a spiritual tide brews varies each time. This process can take decades, or even close to a century.

If the spiritual tide came late, and he could enter the Nascent Soul stage before opening the Purple Micro Palace, it wouldn't be a bad thing to take a look. But Qin Sang knew deep down that this possibility was extremely small.

He now has no idea how to form a pill.

Gifted as Qiyuan Hunting Master Brother, he was the best below the Jindan stage in Hua Mountain. When Qin Sang just entered Xuanlu Pass, he had already stepped into the False Dan Realm. Nearly thirty years have passed, and he has yet to form a golden elixir. This shows how difficult it is to form a golden elixir.

Go back to Xuanku Pass and, with the help of our sect's power, we will discuss what happened after the Purple Microcosm Palace in detail.

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

Thinking about these things, Qin Sang secretly sighed and put away the Ziwei Secret Scroll. He took out all the gains from this auction and placed them in front of him.

Several kinds of spirit wood were bought for the Ebony Sword, kept to be slowly consumed by it.

The top-grade spiritual artifact, the Yellow Sand Banner, is not difficult to control. Qin Sang spent a little time refining it and could use it freely. This added another method for him to deal with enemies.

Then there were three soul-attracting herbs.

Qin Sang opened one of the jade boxes and carefully took out the soul-attracting grass.

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

Three blades of grass intertwined, forming a 'bud' at the top. It was as long as an adult arm, yet light as a feather.

Qin Sang's nostrils twitched as he sniffed the fragrance emanating from the spirit medicine. There was no distinct aroma or strange odor, but once this breath entered his body, he felt a subtle stirring in his soul and spirit.

He did not touch the restriction on the soul-drawing grass, deciding to wait until things calmed down before attempting to refine the heavenly corpse talisman.

Three plants of Soul-Drawing Grass, with nine leaves each, can allow him to practice a few more times, but he shouldn't waste them carelessly. This kind of elixir is rare and hard to obtain.

After the auction ended, it was already the time of the tiger. Qin Sang waited for an hour in the stone house.

After the sky was bright, Qin Sang walked out of the stone house.

Many experts were drawn to the auction. Today's items were clearly a notch better than before, and Qin Sang was also interested in browsing around, with a good harvest.

Among them, there were unexpectedly two items of Yin objects from the Five Elements, which was a pleasant surprise.

Unknowingly, a day passed. Qin Sang had walked all over Shi Dao, and almost every moment he could hear people discussing the auction last night. Most of the topics were related to Ziwei Palace and the Purple Micro Celestial Record.

These messages will spread like wildfire throughout the entire Xiaohan Domain, quickly igniting a craze for the Ziwei Secret Scroll.

A "sheepskin" could have a chance to be exchanged for a magic treasure, who wouldn't be tempted

Even without this auction, news of the Ziwu Secret Scroll would have eventually surfaced, just not this quickly. After all, the struggle for the Ziwu Secret Scroll is actually confined to cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage.

Moreover, the major forces such as the Eight Sects of Righteous Path, with Yuan Ying ancestors in charge, would not participate in controlling Xiaohan Domain. They didn't need the Ziwei Secret Treatise and could enter the Purple Micro Palace under the protection of their Yuan Ying.

What truly needs the Zi Wei Secret Scroll are those small sects, or Golden Core cultivators among independent practitioners.

As twilight approached, Qin Sang found a secluded spot and activated the jade pendant's restrictions with his spiritual energy.

A glimmer emanated from the center of the jade pendant, transforming into a dagger-shaped light arrow that pointed southeast. This indicated that the location of the secret market convened by the elder was in that direction.

"Won't you leave Shijima"

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

Qin Sang frowned secretly, following the jade pendant's guidance all the way to the edge of Shi Island, and found that the light dagger pointed to an inconspicuous stone house.

After observing silently for a while, people gradually entered the stone house. Qin Sang waited until the appointed time before stepping forward.

The storefront outside the stone house was hung with a curtain, with no customers. Qin Sang tightened his cloak and walked in. He didn't see the old man; the shopkeeper was a beautiful young woman with the cultivation of the Qi Condensation stage.

"May I ask what you require, sir..."

The young woman lay lazily inside, the moment she opened her mouth she saw the jade pendant revealed in Qin Sang's palm, and immediately changed to a smiling face, whispering, "Please come with me, Daoist friend"

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

Entering the back room, there was unexpectedly a hidden door. Behind the hidden door lay a deep and dark passage, with restrictions flashing faintly within its depths.

Qin Sang stood at the entrance of the secret passage, staring intently at these restrictions.

The young woman chuckled, covering her mouth. "Don't worry, Daoist friend. These are hidden restrictions to prevent outsiders from discovering the secret market. We don't have the deterrent power of Yinshan Pass, so we have to resort to this." She continued, "Those who participate in our secret market also don't want to be exposed publicly."

"Indeed, this is a concealed prohibition. Qin Sang nodded lightly and said in a calm tone: 'Please lead the way, friend.'"

After walking down the dark passage for a short while, a small stone chamber appeared at the end. Inside the chamber was a long table and some chairs, and at this moment, the room was almost full of cultivators dressed in various attire.

So many people, yet the stone chamber was utterly silent, an eerie stillness.

The old man sat at the head of the long table. When Qin Sang entered, he immediately got up to greet him, beckoning with a smile and saying, "Another Taoist friend has arrived. Please sit down for a moment, the secret market is about to begin."

Qin Sang nodded and randomly found a chair to sit down.

She keenly sensed a few probing gazes fixed upon her. Qin Sang feigned ignorance while also subtly observing the others.

Without exception, they were all at the Foundation Establishment stage. Among them were even experts in the later stages of Foundation Establishment. The elder's charisma surprised even Qin Sang.

Among these people, there are likely many familiar faces from yesterday's auction.

However, everyone was wrapped up tightly, more carefully than at an auction.

Today, I expect to find some good items, but my spirit stones are running low. Thankfully, I still have the spoils of war I looted from Yu Da Yue and the others. Hopefully, I'll have a good haul.

Qin Sang thought to herself.

Then, several more cultivators arrived one after another.

The time of the Dog Hour is approaching; it's almost time for the Secret Market to begin.

The old man straightened up, coughed lightly, and was about to speak when a heavy and unusually hurried set of footsteps suddenly came from within the darkness.

What kind of person can't hold their temper like this

Qin Sang turned her head and saw a burly figure rushing in from outside the door. It was the strong man she had seen yesterday!
