Chapter 1694: The Dove Occupies the Magpie's Nest
fire jade centipede, but very rare nonetheless.Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!The moth doesn't possess formidable power and its lifespan is short, akin to that of or..."I have something I would like to ask the fairy."Entering Manzhou, after walking for a while, Qin Sang remembered something and took out the ice tray and offered it to Liuli, "Can the fairy sense any special features of this treasure's energy"
>
In terms of ice magic mastery, Qin Sang was incomparable to Liuli.
Having learned about the origins and purpose of the ice tray, Liuli looked up and down at it, then sank into contemplation, sensing the icy aura within.
Qin Sang watched quietly as Liuli withdrew her mind, then said: "The avatar is just comprehending these cold and evil powers, cultivating the Bing Po Divine Light, and obtaining a breakthrough opportunity from it."
>
Liuli suddenly understood, no wonder the divine light emitted by her transformed body was so strange.
"It doesn't seem to be purely the power of ice, but rather a natural blend, not something deliberately fused together. It's even able to weaken the Heavenly Tribulation. Could it be that I am too ignorant..."
Liuli pondered for a moment, then shook her head. "Our paths are not aligned, but we can serve as references for each other."After that, Liuli walked while contemplating the ice disk, and Qin Sang silently followed beside her.
After traversing mountains and rivers.
Finally, the two arrived at the lakeshore of a large lake.
This lake spans a thousand miles in every direction, but it's not the largest in the Barbarian State. What makes this lake truly unique is that its water appears a deep indigo. Any cultivator familiar with the customs of the Southern Barbarians would immediately recognize the presence of deadly poison upon seeing it.
The lakeshore was lush with vegetation, but it was all kinds of poisonous plants.
Except for a few creatures born with poisons, no other beings could survive here. Most of the territory of Manzhou, except for the northern part near the Central Plains, was like this. Not only were there no people, but even living creatures were hard to see.
"The entrance is right here!" Qin Sang flew to the center of the lake, scanned the surface, and flew westward for a hundred miles. He nodded to Liuli and jumped into the lake.
Liuli followed behind.
The two of them protected themselves with their true energy and plunged towards the bottom of the lake at top speed. The deeper they went, the bluer the water became, and coupled with the dim light, the surroundings quickly plunged into complete darkness.
I don't know how deep I had sunk. The surface of my protective true energy began to hiss and crackle. The toxins in the lake water were already able to corrode it.
However, the two of them had deep cultivation bases and were not afraid.
As they neared the lake bottom, they encountered some strange creatures swimming in the lower depths of the water. These creatures were bizarre in appearance and fed on poison, thriving on the very toxins that made others recoil in fear.
These poisons were deliberately left behind by the master of Qiling Cave. They couldn't stop top-tier masters, but they could scare away those with slightly inferior cultivation, so as to prevent anyone from rushing in. The master of Qiling Cave's caution didn't end there.
The bottom of the lake contains countless large and small holes, connecting underground rivers. The water network is complex and runs in all directions.
Qin Sang groped around for a while and found a seemingly ordinary hole. He dove into the dark river and continued downward, plunging into the depths of the earth, before finally sensing a special fluctuation.
"Here we are..."
Qin Sang's voice transmission reminded him, and he suddenly quickened his pace.
Liuli followed closely behind, and under Qin Sang's guidance, she deciphered the protective spirit formation around the mansion. Then, it was as if she had passed through an invisible barrier. Suddenly, there was a feeling of freshness, and the lake water was blocked behind them.
Before them lay a cavern shrouded in blood-red and gray mist. The moment they stepped into this place, a chill seeped into their bones, spreading like an icy hand through their very marrow. The sound of the swirling mist was like the mournful whispers of countless tormented souls.When they finally made out what lay within the mist, Qin Sang and Liuli were both struck silent.

Rather than a medicine garden, it's more like an altar.
In the medicine garden, white bone was piled into a towering tomb, much like an imperial display of martial prowess by soldiers in the mortal realm. Surrounding this ossuary were canals shaped like the character "hui," but instead of clear water, they flowed with blood as crimson as rubies.
Rivers of blood connected, forming a shape like a bloody formation.

These bloody fluids had no trace of bloodshed, instead they could smell a fragrant aroma.
Yixiang originates from the top of a bone tomb.
It's difficult to find real-world counterparts for these remedies. They were all cultivated by the Lord of Weeping Spirit Cave using secret arts, nourished with souls, and have long since transcended their original forms to become "blood tonics".
Luli looked at Qin Sang.
Qin Sang understood what Liuli meant. This medicine, would it really be fine if eaten

If the soul searching yields no discrepancies, the Blood Elixir was painstakingly cultivated by the Crying Spirit Cave Master. Its cultivation process can be likened to alchemy, a unique and unconventional method.
Unless one wishes to cultivate the way of the Corpse Devil, consuming it will have some impact on oneself, but as long as one diligently refines it, it can be resolved.
The appearance is strange, but the medicinal effect is real. Compared to the benefits, this price is completely acceptable. The Blood Medicine from the Bone Tomb hasn't matured yet, so its effectiveness is greatly reduced. However, Qin Sang urgently needs a spiritual medicine to heal his wounds and doesn't plan to use the Soul Cultivating method to water the Blood Medicine. He decides to directly harvest it.
The information obtained from soul searching was incomplete, and some blood medicines Qin Sang didn't recognize. Liuli went out to catch demonic beasts and poisons to test the medicinal properties, classifying them into categories.
Cleared away the bones and blood from the herb garden, it started to look a bit like a cave.
In the silent cave.

Qin Sang took medicine to heal her injuries.
Lu Li was by the side, pondering over the ice disk.
Time passed slowly.
Qin Sang's condition was improving day by day, but after all, his foundation had been injured, and it wasn't something that could be cured in a short time.

My body is recovering in the Manzhou region, protected by the Glassy Guardian.

The avatar ventured confidently north, entering the Northern Wilderness.
The snow disaster has just ended, and the weather is clear.
A blanket of white snow. The snow had covered the land and mountains completely, with the wind whipping up fine snow that danced and swirled in the air, creating a vast expanse of whiteness.
Transforming himself, he sped across the snow-covered peaks. After hours of travel, he stopped atop a snowdrift, gazing down for a moment before forming a hand seal and striking it into the ground beneath the snow.
"Who is it!"
The積雪suddenly cracked, revealing a mountain silhouette below. A figure soared up from it.
"Senior, it's me."
With a low voice, I said that it seemed the Ghost Mother and the Dumb Nun were unharmed. Finally, I could rest assured.
"The one who arrived was none other than the Ghost Mother. She smiled ambiguously and said, "So it's the Fire Demon Lord who just turned the Zhongzhou upside down! You have quite a reputation for yourself - slaying the divine son of Hualing and annihilating the phantom body of Saint King. Well done! I underestimated you." "Senior, please don't tease me," replied Huai. "I'm already like a stray dog, targeted by powerful enemies."
He smiled wryly.
Now, rumors about the Wuxiang Immortal Sect have spread throughout Zhongzhou. Even the capture of the ancient demon and the fall of Purple Thunder are not as captivating as the stories about Qin Sang.
He was described as a once-in-a-millennium, peerless villain.
The rumors were spreading out of control. Just listening to the descriptions, Qin Sang felt that he didn't even need to escape. Even defeating the two powerful cultivators and single-handedly suppressing the ancient demon sounded like something he could achieve with ease.
Several more people walked out of the cave dwelling.
Others were startled by the noise and came out of their cave to investigate. With a sweep of his gaze, he saw three people.
One was his cheap apprentice Shen Chen, and the other boy was holding a little girl. The little girl looked to be six or seven years old, her features delicate and lovely, she peeked at the transformed man with curious and fearful eyes. The boy beside her seemed to be twelve or thirteen years old, his demeanor calm and composed.
"You even dare to provoke a celestial being. The Xie family and Loutai Guan have been implicated by you, and the outcome is uncertain. With too many people, there's a high risk of exposure. This palace can only bring these few out. Besides, both families secretly sent away several promising disciples. As for the rest, it's difficult to relocate them. So, I let their entire families rent a dharma boat from Longju Cave and openly go to the Ganlu Chan Temple to cry at the gate. As for these three, you figure out how to arrange them."
The Ghost Mother, experienced and wise, received a warning and took care of Qin Sang's affairs on the home front. Such an arrangement would ensure that, even in the worst-case scenario, the incense of the Xie family and Loutai Temple could continue.
The boy's name was Xie Yi. Qin Sang remembered him, saying he was a once-in-a-lifetime genius who was highly anticipated by the Xie family.
>
The incarnation fell to the ground, Shen Chen stepped forward to bow, Xie Yi also led the girl to kowtow, both already knowing the true identity of the incarnation.
Looking at the girl's features, he felt a sense of familiarity. "Are you Zhou Jin and Ruan Yu's daughter"
When the Zhou and Ruan couple met, they mentioned their worry about being unable to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. They prepared to leave behind a bloodline first and had been conditioning it with secret arts for many years. They deliberately mentioned this in front of Qin Sang, hoping to see if there was a possibility of becoming his disciple.
Qin Sang simply remained silent and dared not mention it again.
“My name is Zhou Li. My parents told me to listen to my ancestor well from now on,” the little girl said crisply, bowing her head respectfully towards Qin Sang.
Huashēn pointed at Zhou Li and Xie Yi, and said to Shen Chen: "From now on, they will be your disciples."

The Sealing Demon Stake has already been sent out, but the Meteor Iron God Whip is still here, and Qin Sang can't go back on his word.
Luckily, this apprentice is still somewhat useful. "This... disciple obeys!"
Shén Chén was dumbfounded, looking at his two cheap disciples, feeling a headache coming on. He still had to take care of the children first.
But the master had ordered him, he dared not disobey.
Especially after learning about Qin Sang's deeds in Nan Zhou from Gui Mu, Shen Chen felt even more respect and awe for his master.
The master waved his hand to dismiss his disciples.
The avatar and the Ghost Mother walked into the quiet room. Seeing the mute girl lying on the ice bed, breathing steadily, her breath seemed to have a few more layers of heaviness than before.
"I hear you had a bountiful harvest this time"
Guǐmǔ raised an eyebrow, not shying away from the question.
"He bowed deeply: 'Many thanks to the senior for informing me in time, or I would have missed this opportunity! Through the mark left by the Wuzhu elder, I found the remains of the Wuzhu incarnation in the ancestral tomb. He seems to be like a master from the Wu Xiang Xian Men, struck by demonic corruption during the Demon Tribulation and sealed himself on Di Shou Shan, meeting an unfortunate end...' "
It is extremely difficult to cultivate to the Huashen stage in this realm. The Wuzhu's Huashen was about to break free from its cage, but it met with misfortune and died in a foreign land.
The Ghost Mother said calmly, "It's a matter of time and fate."
"The heirloom of that senior contains a map to the Canglang Sea. Would the senior be interested in going to see the descendants of the Witch Clan"
Qin Sang found a nautical chart in the clutter.
The Canglang Sea is actually located in the southeast direction of Zhongzhou, farther away than the North Sea. Qin Sang doesn't know the exact location of Guixu, so he's unsure where the Canglang Sea corresponds to it or in what direction it lies.
>
With a mute woman around, what use is there This palace has no clear path ahead, let alone the energy to help others. Fellow clansmen may not be of the same lineage. Will you look upon the Zhongzhou humans differently
The Ghost Mother's expression was cold. After a moment, she continued, "Dumb Widow's state is better than expected. Her progress over this period has been very smooth! This Palace is already preparing to cross the void, and once everything is ready, we will choose a day to ascend."
>
"So anxious" He frowned.
The Ghost Mother shook her head and murmured, "This palace has waited for too long."
Crossing the void uses the secret art of the Wu Clan. The transformed self couldn't speak, looking outside the cave dwelling and saying: "If there is anything junior can do for you, senior just needs to ask, I will strive to ensure that Madame Dumb Remains unharmed. However, before that, let's first find a safe place to rest."
As he spoke, the avatar flicked his sleeves, and two wisps of ethereal light flew out from within.
One wisp enveloped a broken banner, while the other contained Su Zinan's infant form, both brought here by the avatar.
The infant's eyes were tightly shut, unconscious.
Su Zinan was first poisoned, then burned, and after being imprisoned by Qin Sang, he almost died from the poison. Fortunately, his avatar discovered it in time and suppressed the toxin, keeping him alive.
Qin Sang only wanted to keep the infant for soul searching.
However, after finding the cultivation method from Su Zinan's belongings and checking the status of the San Shi Mo Shen Banner, he changed his mind.
>
The Sansi Mortal God Banner gathers three Nascent Soul stage demon souls, completely taming them. It can be used as a foundation for three souls to assist in breaking through the Divine Transformation realm. The problem is that the three souls breakthrough must be combined with a specific technique to achieve this effect.
These are all products of Lu Lao Mo's experiments, combining the blood path, the Three Corpse Death God Banner, and Lu Lao Mo's own martial arts.
Su Zi Nan's collected two demon souls were destroyed by the Sun Bird, the banner was broken, and the third soul survived, but it was still in the form of a faceless head, without merging into a nascent infant.
Qin Sang was preparing to leave this position for Su Zinan.
He had no intention of changing his cultivation technique. The Three Corpse Annihilation Banner falling into his hands could only serve as a weapon for killing, and the difficulty of repairing this treasure was extremely high.
Su Zi Nan relied on the blessings of the Divine Transformation, and under his command were Wu Lao and the Moon Guards of Hades. Gathering the necessary spiritual materials was also extremely difficult.
However, if he could simply mend it and integrate Su Zinan into his demon soul, he wouldn't only gain a powerful combat force but also easily obtain the secrets Su Zinan knew.
On the way north, after immersing himself in the comprehension of the Demon Banner, he gradually made some progress but encountered a new challenge.
Su Zinan's realm surpasses that of his incarnation by a layer, making his chances of failure extremely high. He needs the Ghost Mother to lend him a hand.
The Ghost Mother learned the details and took the Demon Banner and the remnant infant. Opening her mouth, she mocked, "A dignified son of a Nascent Soul falling to such a state, even if Old Devil Lu knew, he would only find it shameful and embarrassing. He probably wouldn't have the face to seek revenge from you."
"Huh"
The Ghost Mother held the Three Corpse Death God Banner, carefully examining it. It seemed quite interesting to her. "This tattered banner has some potential," she said.
As he thought about it, he recalled that the Heaven Corpse Talisman was indeed created by the Ghost Mother. His eyes held a strange look.
To imprison a living infant and control corpses, wouldn't the Ghost Mother have some unusual kinks
More than ten days later.
As the crowd left Xuefeng and headed east, their destination was Luye! From Su Zinan's mouth, they learned about the origin of Luye.
Lushiyuan was an ancient cave dwelling discovered by Lu Lao Mo while traveling in the North Sea.
Since Luoyano's original residence roamed between the Northern Wasteland and the North Sea without a clear pattern, and the Luoyan Great Formation was extremely secretive, this hidden estate only reappeared after being occupied by Lu Lao Mo, becoming his dojo.
Untouched by human hands, no one knows where the Luye Forest is located. There is no better hiding place than Luye.
Su Zinan left his Luye at the seaside of the East China Sea. Now it is ownerless.
