Chapter 1779: Visiting
rew exceptionally vigorously there, and the traces left by the great battle had long been concealed.Qin Sang appeared before a mountain, gazing around and reminiscing about the past. The Qilin Dragon...In the hall.
Master Qi and a red-faced old man in a robe patterned with thunder sat facing each other.
The two had known each other for a long time.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Master Qi, straight to the point, said, "Poor old monk came here this time to ask Elder Li for a favor."
The red-faced old man laughed heartily, "Just now, this old Taoist told the boy that Master Qi would certainly come uninvited!"
Master Qi's face flushed with embarrassment.
The red-faced old man only chuckled at his old friend for a moment, then said seriously: "Friend, what business do you have Just speak freely. But is it related to this young friend"
As he spoke, the ruddy-faced old man looked at the young Taoist priest standing behind Master Qi with his hands clasped.
... All the disciples and acolytes under Master Qi's tutelage, he knew them all. He had never met this person before.
Unbeknownst to them, the young Taoist priest was Qin Sang in disguise. He had pretended to be a disciple of Master Mingyue and followed Master Qi here.
"Greetings, Senior," Qin Sang bowed respectfully.

The elder in question is a deacon of the Thunder Right Hall.
Grandmaster Qi nodded, “He can’t hide from your keen eyes, fellow Daoist. He is the disciple of an old friend of mine. You should also be able to see it, this child has cultivated his skills to the perfection of the moral and legal realms, wishing to break through, but he has not yet received the second-rank talisman.”
The Elder had already guessed, so hearing this, he was not surprised. He smiled and said, "I wonder which year our young friend was ordained Those ordained in my Thunder Right Mansion are destined to have a connection with our sect. Even if they are not disciples of our sect, as long as they have not done anything harmful to our sect, the sect will not make things difficult for them when they are promoted."
He looked at Qin Sang with a scrutinizing gaze.
"He's not a lu scholar from the Lei Ting Right Mansion, otherwise why would he bother you," said Master Qi, shaking his head.
“Oh”
The elder pondered for a moment and said, “I don't know what kind of talisman you initially received. Fellow Daoist, you should know that our sect’s profound Sky-Thunder Talisman has a long history and is unlike ordinary talismans. Even among lightning department talismans, not all are eligible to be promoted to our sect's talismans. There are only a few that barely match.”
Qi Da Shi said meaningfully, "The first teachings and talismans he received were indeed from the high heavens."
Li Changlao was momentarily stunned, then instantly understood.
In Guishan, besides the Right Thunder Office, only the Left Thunder Office could bestow the Gao Shang Shenxiao Scroll.
This person is a student of the Thunder Left Ministry, yet they are to be promoted in the Thunder Right Ministry. There is only one possibility: this person or their master offended the Thunder Left Ministry.

There was some hesitation in leaving the elder.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
The Right and Left Halls of Thunder are not on good terms, and he was happy to cause trouble for the Left Hall. However, if this disciple's master had a deep grudge against the Left Hall, helping this disciple provoke two overt conflicts would not be what the sect wanted.
Qi Da Shi said in a low voice, “Friend Daoist, rest assured, there is no great cause and effect on this child. If anything, I will take full responsibility for any disputes that arise.”
Li nodded slightly to the elder. This old friend was still trustworthy.
"It would be beneficial to consult Master Qi, for this individual's origins are quite thought-provoking." Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
Master Qi, hailing from the renowned Immortal Lake of Xingdao Island, was a master craftsman with a considerable reputation. Even in his early days of prominence, numerous factions attempted to recruit him, but Master Qi, possessing an independent spirit, declined all offers. He rarely sought assistance from others.
"Great!"
The elder took out a thunder talisman and said, "Little friend, remember, on the day of receiving your ordination in two years, bring this talisman back to our sect."
>
“Thank you for your understanding.”
Master Qi bowed deeply.
Qin Sang took the lightning talisman, finding that it was similar to the one from Lei Ting Zuo Fu, but with subtle differences. He also thanked them profusely.
Master Qi and Elder Li chatted for a while longer, then got up to say their farewells.
Upon returning to Hubu City, Qin Sang bade farewell to Master Qi. However, Master Qi stopped him and said, "When your master comes out of seclusion, tell him that this poor Daoist has something he wants to discuss with him."
Qin Sang was slightly surprised and replied, "Yes."
I wonder what Master Qi wants to see me for.
Qin Sang waited for several more days, disguised himself, and when he went to see Master Qi, he was directly led by a Taoist boy to the fire room. He saw Master Qi, who was unkempt and sitting nonchalantly in the fire room.
The genuine relic fragments were laid out before him, surrounded by a haphazard collection of spiritual materials.
Most spiritual materials are worldly treasures. When ordinary people see this scene, they will be dumbfounded and short of breath.
Master Qi's hair was a mess, if it weren't for the self-cleaning ability of his Taoist robes, he would look quite disheveled.
He stared at the scroll, occasionally scratching his ear and chin, as if pondering a problem, yet constantly negating himself.
"No!"
“No!”
"Yes, that's right! But..."
>
Qi Daoshi was lost in his own world, completely oblivious to Qin Sang at the door.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Qin Sang coughed lightly.
When Qi Master was awakened, he looked up, his eyes still a little dazed, as consciousness gradually returned, "Oh! It's Mingyue Daoist friend, please sit down!"
He patted the nonexistent dust off his clothes, put away the clutter, and took out two cushions, eagerly beckoning Qin Sang.
Qin Sang sat opposite him and glanced at the scroll. "Master summoned me in such haste, is there a new insight"
Only the genuine fragments of treasure could make Qi Da Shi become so engrossed and entranced.
>
Qì Dashi, however, first countered, “I remember Daoist friend, you just acquired a suit of spiritual armor”
"Very good, it is indeed this item."
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
Qin Sang nodded, his mind moved slightly, and the Huifeng Armor enveloped his body. His eyes, peering through the faceplate, curiously observed Master Qi, guessing his intentions.
Qi Daoshi gazed at Huifengjia for a moment, nodding slightly with a rare expression of hesitation. "After pondering the fragments of Zhenbao for many days, this poor monk has had an idea, but I am not entirely sure. This treasure belongs to you, fellow daoist, so we must first discuss it..."
"Master, please speak freely," Qin Sang said readily.
Master Qi then laid out his ideas.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
When Qin Sang heard this, he couldn't help but be astonished. Qi Da Shi had actually thought of a way to refine the fragments of a true treasure.
Master Qi himself admitted that even if his cultivation level advanced further, he wouldn't be able to repair the genuine treasure.
He thought of a way to melt the True Treasure fragments into a certain magical artifact.
It is impossible to merge two artifacts into one, but it is possible to connect the auras of two artifacts. With good fortune, this might activate a portion of a true artifact's power, greatly enhancing that magical item.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
However, how much power the True Treasure shards still possess is unknown to all.
This is not a translation task. You have provided me with the following:>This appears to be HTML code, specifically an empty paragraph tag (`

Moreover, Master Qi did not have much confidence.
If this fails, the artifacts will certainly be lost. The genuine treasure fragments might even be damaged, making matters worse.
The False Spirit Treasures are too precious. If a mistake were to be made and they were lost, the losses would be catastrophic. Qin Sang's Returning Wind Armor is among the best in terms of magical treasures, making it the most suitable choice.
>
“Judging from my assessment, this genuine treasure might have been a defensive treasure in its complete form. Fellow Daoist, if you agree, I can use the Wind-Resisting Armor as a base and with certain spiritual materials reforge a top-grade spirit armor, striving for something more compatible with the remaining fragments of the genuine treasure…”
>
Master Qi looked at Qin Sang with a hint of nervousness in his eyes.
After all, Qin Sang was the true owner of the True Treasure fragments. He worried that Qin Sang would retrieve the True Treasure fragments and immediately turned to ask the Taoist alchemists.
Qi Daoshi admitted that he was not as good as the true masters of Taoism, but he promised that he would do his best to protect the fragments of the True Treasure.
Qin Sang looked at the Zhenbao fragments and, without considering it too long, gave Elder Qi a response that delighted him, allowing him to go ahead and do as he pleased!
However, Qin Sang put forward a request, “Master, when refining this treasure, could the humble one assist the master by controlling the fire”
Saying it was to control the fire, he actually wanted to observe the process of refining the utensils.
Qin Sang considered that, firstly, it was not easy to invite high-ranking figures from the Taoist sect. Secondly, the Taoist sect had a vast and influential background, and it was likely that all perfect genuine treasures had been seen by them, so they might not be interested. Even if they agreed, it would be impossible for him to observe them.
A fragment of the True Treasure was an unexpected delight; failure meant only losing a suit of spirit armor, something he could afford.
Upon success, you will receive a spiritual armor whose power far surpasses any magical artifact, as well as valuable refining experience.
Master Qi will definitely use all his skills this time. In the future, Qin Sang will be considered to be half a true disciple of Master Qi.
Master Qi was overjoyed. “Thank you for trusting me! I will think carefully before taking action. Please stay here for a few more years.”
Also, Qin Sang needed to wait for the Ascension of the Golden Bell Talisman. In the short term, he wouldn't leave Xingdao Xianhu. He immediately put away the mark in Huifengjia and restored the treasure to its original form before handing it back to Master Qi.
The Huifengjia body is a set of bronze armor smaller than the palm of your hand.

Master Qi carefully put it away and discussed the art of refining with Qin Sang.
After leaving Master Qi's residence, Qin Sang's next task was simple: to constantly cultivate his essence and wait for the Right Envoy of Thunder to set up an altar and bestow the Daoist robes.
On this day, Qin Sang put away the Divine Concealment Mantra and pondered whether he should take a trip to Jianxin Island.
He had exceeded the agreed upon time with Zhishjian Zhenren. Now that he had mastered the first-tier talismans and was close to mastering the second-tier ones, it was time to consider how to ascend to the third-tier talismans.
The third level of the Gao Shang Shenxiao Lu is a secret scroll called Wulei Mi Lu.
According to his understanding, the ancestral temple of Lei Ting's left and right mansions does not bestow the Five Thunder Secret Manuals. According to Master Zhi Jian's statement, it is very likely that they are not simply unwilling to teach them externally, but rather incapable of doing so.
"It's time to visit the real Swordmaster."
Qin Sang thought secretly.
Here is the translation:

After a short while, Qin Sang flew out of the Hutou Island and headed north. Two days later, he entered a relatively open expanse of water.
The center of this body of water is only one circular small island.
The island is overgrown with a kind of spirit tree called Jianxin Orchid, and it is named after this plant.
Qin Sang saw Jianxin Lan on the island from afar, like a row of swords pointing to the sky, standing straight and tall.
Before approaching, waves suddenly arose in the water. A spirit sword formed from water shot out, blocking Qin Sang's path, and a majestic voice boomed, "Halt!"
Qin Sang pressed down on his escape light, and saw a hunched black-robed old man flying out from Jianxin Island.
Upon seeing Qin Sang, the elder's eyes lit up. "Could it be Daoist Qingfeng himself"
“It is indeed I, Qin Sang, who should heed Jian Zhenren’s invitation and come to pay a visit. I dare ask, esteemed friend, what name do you go by” Qin Sang nodded.
The old man bowed deeply, "Master is in seclusion. I am here by his orders to await Daoist Qingfeng. It was my oversight, please do not blame me, Daoist."
A hint of surprise flashed across Qin Sang's eyes.
Here's the translated content, retaining the HTML tags:

This old man was a late Nascent Soul stage cultivator, yet he called himself an old slave, so humble.
Qin Sang would not underestimate the other party because of their identity.
From the old man, Qin Sang learned that Zhijian Zhenren still needed some time in seclusion. Qin Sang stopped the old man from disturbing Zhijian Zhenren and stayed in his cave abode on Jianxin Island.
>
It's been half a year in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Qin Sang felt the restrictions of the cave dwelling being activated. He opened the door and first heard a hearty laugh.
The Swordmaster walked in with a smile, striding quickly. "Sorry to keep you waiting, Daoist friend..." He paused. "Eh"
Upon seeing Qin Sang, Master Zhijian first paused in surprise. He carefully sized him up for a while and said, "Since our last parting, Daoist friend seems to have made great progress"
Qin Sang secretly thought that this person's eyesight was indeed sharp, and smiled without answering, inviting him to take a seat.
>
"Master Zhijian sighed, 'Before, I heard from Daoist Guzhou that you have been in seclusion at Heshan for decades, unmindful of worldly affairs. Your steadfast resolve is truly admirable. A few years ago, after finishing my own affairs, I intended to visit you at Heshan. However, I received a letter from you just before then and waited respectfully in my cave dwelling. Since you didn't arrive, I dared not travel far.'"
"That's too kind of you to say," Qin Sang said, his face etched with a hint of question. "Is there something you need"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Executioner Sword Master shook his head. “It’s my fault that I owe too many favors to fellow cultivators, and my heart has always been uneasy about it. If there's anything you need help with, just let me know! Additionally, I also want to introduce some experts to you, all of whom are like-minded friends. However, they are all hermit cultivators in the mountains and forests, and I'm afraid they might not be to your liking.”
>
Since he is a friend of the Sword Master, his cultivation level must not be weak. Qin Sang wouldn't be uninterested.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
First, there was the tribulation crossing, then the receiving of the talismans, Qin Sang had been busy with these two things and hadn't properly interacted with the powerful figures of this world.
Qin Sang heard that there seemed to be something unsaid in the words of the Sword-Holding True Person. Since the other party didn't explicitly say it, he wouldn't ask proactively.
When it came time to meet, Qin Sang's tone changed, "Indeed, poor cultivator, I have something I want to ask Daoist friend."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The True Person of Zhujian looked solemn and listened attentively.
Qin Sang pondered for a moment and then asked, "Daoist friend, could you tell me about your experience in ascending to the third rank"
He has already inquired, and there is no such thing as a sword talisman in the world.
Taoist talismans and celestial deities of the Heavenly Court correspond, with deities from the Thunder Department and the Constellation Department as the main ones.
Among them, the Heavenly Gods of the Doubu encompass all things. For instance, the nine Nine-Shining Star Lords can encompass the five elements and yin and yang.
According to Taoist legends, there is no Heavenly God position named Jian Shen Zun in the Celestial Court.
>
But when the Sword-Wielding True Person wielded his sword, he did not appear at the altar of talismans. To this day, it is still unknown what kind of talismans the Sword-Wielding True Person practiced.
Upon hearing this, the sword-wielding Zhenren was first taken aback, then surprised.
"Aren't you a Daoist disciple"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He had told Qin Sang that the third-level talismans were bestowed during the Dao Court's ascension.
Previously, Qin Sang was like a powerful person hiding his strength. Even in the Ghost Fang Kingdom, he didn't seem flustered.
If it were the Cave-Hidden Real Person of Daoism, uncovering these secrets would be no difficult matter.
Qin Sang nodded.
"The Sword-Wielding True Person then said, 'No wonder. I attained the rank three talismans of ascension from the Dao Court! Do you remember what I said in Xinggu Valley I can assure you that throughout Ju Mountain, there might be sects hiding very deep, but until now, I haven't discovered any sect whose altar could bestow rank three talismans of ascension!'"
Hearing this, Qin Sang's last shred of hope shattered. It seemed he had to go to the Dao Court.
Qin Sang made no attempt to hide his intentions, and the Sword-wielding Immortal naturally saw through them. He explained in detail: "Within the Daoist sect, one should view the Dao Courts and Palaces separately. If one has a connection with a certain sect and obtains the qualifications for advancement, the difficulty is lessened. However, Palaces only have their own lineage and may not be suitable for us. Fellow Daoist should know that changing techniques halfway, even if on the same path, inevitably carries the risk of an unstable foundation."
Qin Sang heard the sound of the string and understood, his voice filled with surprise: "Could Dao Ting really integrate all the laws and talismans of the world"
"The Sword Master shook his head slightly, "Only the Immortal Officials of Daoting know! However, I truly did receive the three-level talisman I desired in Daoting. Even if I hadn't, with Daoting's capabilities, they could find the most suitable three-level talisman for you. That is unquestionable!"
Qin Sang mused, once again feeling the Dao Court's powerful control over this realm.
"It's probably difficult to obtain the qualification for receiving a Daoist ordination in the Taoist court, isn't it"
The Sword Master's voice was full of meaning, "It's not difficult or easy. It all depends on whether a fellow cultivator is willing to add another shackle to their body."
(End of chapter)emons remained silent, following closely behind.Unforeseen, just after flying out not far, a muffled sound suddenly came from the front, like an earthquake. After a moment, between the poisonous algae...
