Chapter 367: Entering the Valley
spiritual vein, with abundant spiritual energy. The Five Elements Breaking Sword draws upon this spiritual energy and transforms it into five azure dragons, increasing its power significantly.The Le f...After the shopkeeper introduced the two parties, he withdrew, saying, "Fellow Daoist Kong is very familiar with Wuyagou. If you have any requests, please feel free to ask Fellow Daoist Kong. I won't disturb the three of you."
Three people walked into the wooden house one after another.
There was no one else in the room.
Kong Xin had no intention of beating around the bush. He got straight to the point and asked, "Please take a seat, Dao friends. Just now, a senior sent a message asking if I knew where Huang Longcao grew. This leads me to believe that both of you intend to enter the valley to collect Huang Longcao. I wonder if you have any other purposes"

The Cloud Traveler hummed in response, and asked, "Daoist Kong, do you truly know where Huang Long Grass grows"
Kong Xin calmly replied, "You are right, I do know of a place where Huang Long Grass grows."
"However, I must inform you two friends in advance that it is not a safe place. It was originally quite dangerous, and after the beast tide ended this time, a group of tiger-winged griffins suddenly appeared and made a nearby stone mountain their nest."
“There are dozens of powerful demon spirits among this group of tiger-winged carvings, and they are very restless. Their territorial awareness is extremely strong. What's even more frightening is their demonic eyes, which can see through invisibility. It's difficult for ordinary cultivators to hide from them.”
Harvesting Huanglong Grass comes with the risk of being discovered by a Tigerwing Carving.
“I earned this money through hard work and don't want to risk my life. I can only take you both to a safe place deep within the Wúyá Valley, after which you must make your own way. If you are unwilling, I will not force you.”
"Perhaps fellow cultivator could inquire around. Other guides are the same."
The Cloud Traveler frowned and said, "Though fellow Taoist may not wish to lead the way, it's still important for you to explain the terrain and how to get there."
Sun Xin nodded, "That's right."
Qin Sang and the other person only used Huanglong grass as an excuse, not really caring if they could pick it. After learning that the location wasn't far from the second level, they agreed to join Sun Xin's team.
Sun Xin had two more business deals, and couldn't help but beam with delight.
However, the face was unnaturally pale, and the smile only made it seem more eerie.
“There are three more fellow cultivators who will arrive tomorrow morning. The two of you might as well rest in my humble abode for a while and adjust yourselves. We’ll set off tomorrow. Also, entering the Wuyagu Valley requires some auxiliary items. I've made a list for you both, prepare everything on it to avoid getting halfway through and failing.”
Qin Sang and the other could not be better.
Sun Xin has spent years mingling in the Wuyagou Valley, knowing its inner workings even better than a wandering scholar. The items listed on his single sheet of paper are exceptionally detailed, and each one clearly states its purpose.
The total cost wouldn't be much spirit stones, they had purchased all of them just in case.
Just as they were about to return to the wooden house, Yun Youzi suddenly sent a voice transmission, “Qin younger brother, what are your impressions of that Sun Xin”
Qin Sang paused, looked at Yun Youzi, "What do you mean, senior"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
His complexion was unnaturally pale, likely due to his cultivation techniques.
The Cloud Wanderer pondered, “I can’t sense any demonic qi or blood qi from him. I can’t tell what kind of cultivation technique he practices. The way it affects his physical body so obviously suggests some kind of heretical devil sect art.”
“This is the Endless Valley, so it's normal for Sun Xin to be a demonic cultivator. I see that his mind is clear and he has no blood煞 qi on him. Since Senior says Tianfeng Tower has a good reputation, and the shopkeeper of Tianfeng Tower dares to vouch for him with his own reputation, it means this person is at least not a rampant demon on the surface…”
Qin Sang recalled his own Tun Ling Jue, and pondered, “It’s also possible that he’s disguised himself too well. As long as we keep an eye on his every move, once we find anything amiss, we should strike first before he has the chance to react. There's no need to be afraid.”
The Cloud Wanderer grunted, "Brother Qin is right, it's best for him to lead honestly and peacefully. If he dares to have any ulterior motives, I'll give him a lesson he'll never forget!"
I waited another night in the market.

The next morning, everyone gathered.
Apart from Qin Sang, Yun Youzi, and Sun Xin, there were four other people, three men and one woman.
The first to arrive was the woman. She wore a red dress and a veil, obscuring her face. Though one couldn't see her features, she had an excellent figure and a cold expression.
The second to arrive was a cultured middle-aged man. After joining the crowd, he took the initiative to strike up a conversation and introduced himself as Mr. Bao.

These two were both Qi Refining cultivators.
The last two were an old man and his young apprentice, a pair of master and disciple. The elder was a cultivator at the early stage of foundation building, while his apprentice was only at the Qi refining stage.

Besides the man surnamed Bao, the others had no desire to know each other. They were merely fellow travelers who came together because of Sun Xin and would go their separate ways upon reaching their destination.
Sun Xin stood up and said, "Fellow cultivators, now that everyone is here, let's set off."
The woman in red had been waiting impatiently for a while, looking at the old master and his apprentices with dissatisfaction. Her voice was sharp as she questioned: "How can there still be cultivators in the Qi Refining stage What if their inadequate cultivation attracts trouble, and we have to clean up after them"
The apprentice's face flushed red.
The old man held the disciple and said with a smile, "Don't worry, fellow cultivator. Our master and apprentice are just going to find a spiritual herb to cure an illness. We have no intention of venturing deep into the depths of Wuya Valley, so we won't hold you back."
The woman in red let out a cold snort and fell silent.
Sun Xin, seeing this, let out a breath of relief and hurriedly urged them to hurry on their way.
The bustling marketplace was not far from the Wuyagu Valley. Everyone rode their flying artifacts, and after an hour, they arrived at the edge of Wuyagu Valley.
A blood-red wall stood before them, the bloody miasma thick and viscous, rippling like water.

Standing before the blood miasma, Qin Sang immediately smelled a pungent stench of blood. He even felt a slight dizziness, which showed the severity of the blood miasma's toxicity. In haste, he channeled his spiritual energy to keep the blood miasma at bay.

Just as deadly was the biting cold that emanated from the blood miasma.
The apprentice was frozen stiff, his face almost as pale as Sun Xin's. He hugged himself tightly and huddled close to his master, shivering uncontrollably.

Sun Xin glanced at his apprentice and said, "Fellow Daoists, you can now take out your protective talismans. After entering the blood miasma, be sure not to stop activating them."
Qin Sang and Yun Youzi both took out their jade pendants, holding them in their palms.
Once activated by spiritual energy, the Azure Yang Devil Fire within the jade pendant surged out and quickly formed a layer of azure demonic fire barrier on their bodies.
Only the sound of hissing could be heard as the blood miasma was seared by the demonic flames, and the chill on his body instantly dissipated.
It's a kind of demonic fire, yet it contains an incredibly yang and masculine energy, which is truly remarkable.

It is estimated that this kind of aura originates from the Azure Yang Divine Form.
Others also used various methods.
A woman in red robes sacrificed a crimson cloth, which pulsed with red light, enveloping her whole body.
The cultivators surnamed Bao and their master and apprentices also used artifacts sealed with the Qingyang Demon Fire, but the quality was inferior to Qin Sang's jade pendant.
The most peculiar was Sun Xin.
In his palm lay a pill the size of a lychee. It was crimson red and burned with an intense fire, as if it would never be extinguished.
A thick demonic aura emanated from the dantian.
