Chapter 814: In Charge

ly, “Please wait a moment, senior. I’ll go to the storeroom to check. If we don't have it here, you may need to wait a little longer. I will send someone to contact the various merchant guilds on Tian...Qu Hengdao.

After entering the city, Qin Sang disguised himself and inquired about secrets. It didn't take long for him to zero in on a person.

Even an island as large as Qu Heng Dao, it would be rare to find masters of the late Dan stage. Unless they had always chosen to live in seclusion, it would be impossible for them not to leave any trace or news behind.

This person's name is Luo Dao Tong. He does not cultivate on Qu Heng Island, but is the island master of an island called Qing Qiu Island, which matches the identity of Lord Luo mentioned by the master of Han Hai Gate.

>

But strangely, Qin Sang couldn't find out his background, seeming to be just a wandering cultivator.

This person obviously couldn't be a lone cultivator; he just hadn't exposed his origins.

At the same time, Qin Sang also heard that the island master of Qu Heng Island was not one person, but two, respectively from the righteous and demonic paths. Both were powerful Yuan Ying ancestors.

The righteous and demonic factions both recognized Qu Hengdao as the main island of the Leifeng Archipelago. They based themselves here to govern the archipelago, forming a situation where the two lords kept each other in check. This also prevented major upheaval or conflict.

After all, the Riftwind Archipelago is far from reaching a state of stability and division of spoils, especially in the southernmost chaotic region where neither the righteous nor the demonic factions can extend their influence.

Faced with those threats, the two island lords could only maintain cooperation.

Otherwise, not only will they miss out on the benefits, but they may also cause places that have finally been settled to become chaotic again. At that point, all their efforts will be in vain, and the leader of the alliance will certainly not let them off easily.

Qin Sang put in a lot of effort but couldn't find out which island lord was behind Luo Dao.

He's not a fledgling just entering the cultivation world anymore, he understands very well that there is no clear boundary between righteousness and evil. Those with grand ambitions are all the same; whoever wins becomes the righteous party. Simply viewing them as two opposing forces is sufficient; one shouldn't assume that the ambush of Senior Qingzhu was definitely orchestrated by demons.

He wouldn't dare to cause trouble for the master of Qu Heng Island.

To uncover the truth, we still need to start with Lo Dahu.

Lu Dao Tong's cave dwelling was on Liangqiu Island, right there for all to see.

Directly going to his door won't work.

Qin Sang believed that with powerful means like Xingluo, Xuehui Divine Light, and the two-headed dog, if he could catch this person off guard, it shouldn't be a problem.

But moving against them in their own territory introduces too many variables.

Moreover, the opponent's background is mysterious, and they certainly won't be short of treasures. If he makes a mistake or gets stuck in a stalemate, giving the other party a chance to call for help, things will get complicated.

The distance between Liangqiu Island and Quheng Island wasn't far, so Patriarch Yuying could arrive very soon. By then, Qin Sang wouldn't only fail to catch anyone, but he would also be implicated himself.

At least you should choose when he leaves the island.

Even if it misses, you can quickly get away.

Such an opportunity isn't easy to come by. Qin Sang sat in a tavern, pondering for a long time before deciding to first find a cave dwelling to settle down in and plan things out carefully.

Leaving the winehouse, Qin Sang used his light skills to fly towards the mountain.

The best cave on Qianshan Island is located at the summit.

Not long after, he arrived at the place where the rented cave dwelling was located. On the middle of the mountainside, there were several magnificent pavilions standing tall, with an aura of prohibition floating outside, and from time to time, cultivators entered and exited, their lights flickering on and off.

Here, it serves as a boundary, where ordinary people are forbidden to enter higher grounds. There, one finds numerous hermitages of cultivators.

Qin Sang looked around and saw the nameplates on these buildings, finally choosing one to walk into.

In the vast hall, there were a dozen sand tables. Each sand table had miniature mountain peaks identical in shape to the main peak of Qu Heng Island.

The mountain peak was dotted with countless glowing points, each a different color. Qin Sang understood at once; these light spots represented the numerous cave dwellings.

At this time, some cultivators surrounded the sandbox.

"Fellow Daoist, are you looking to rent a cave dwelling"

A young cultivator came up to Qin Sang. Upon closer inspection, Qin Sang was surprised to find that this person was actually a Qi Refining cultivator.

>

"Correct," Qin Sang said with a calm expression, nodding. "As I'm new here, I'd like to find a place to stay. What do these lights signify How can I rent a suitable cave dwelling"

The young monk sized Qin Sang up, "Forgive my boldness, Daoist friend, but where did you cultivate on which island before Do you have a jade decree"

Qin Sang's face darkened, "What Does one still need a jade order to rent a cave dwelling I am not a cultivator from the Qūhé Islands nearby. I came from the south."

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

Being a matter of great importance, he did not want to expose his identity and urged the Tunling Jue to conceal his cultivation. To outsiders, he only appeared to be in the early stage of foundation building. Unless one met someone with a higher level of cultivation than him, they would not be able to see through his disguise.

The Jade Decree is a unique identity token exclusive to Quxing Island.

The content is empty. Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!

The young monk looked enlightened, "Friend, you misunderstood. I had no such intention. Since you came from the south, you must also admire Wang Hua's way of life. With your cultivation level, to disregard danger and travel thousands of miles across the sea is truly remarkable."

Qin Sang's expression eased slightly, and he sighed, "That's right, I only want to find a place to live and cultivate peacefully. I'd rather take the risk."

“My friend speaks the truth. We ordinary people just want peace and stability.”

The young monk, hearing Qin Sang's words, felt a sense of kinship. He suddenly pulled Qin Sang outside the pavilion and whispered, "To tell you the truth, fellow cultivator, I have had a similar experience to yours. As a newcomer, you may not be aware of certain things. Renting a cave dwelling is actually not cost-effective. The cave dwellings on the island are too expensive and offer little in return. I initially suffered a huge loss, quickly depleting my savings and almost ended up homeless on the streets. Fellow cultivator, if you intend to stay here for a long time, listen to my advice. Don't just look at the main island. I can guide you on the right path."

At this point, the young cultivator's voice faltered slightly.

Qin Sang saw through him at once, and by now he had guessed most of it.

The young monk pretended to be mysterious. Seeing Qin Sang's lack of response, he continued, "With your cultivation level, you could easily manage a small island nearby. Not only would there be a cave dwelling and spirit stones to earn, but why not take advantage of it All you have to pay is some time, and when storms and sea beasts attack, lend a hand to defend the mortals. The spiritual energy on other islands is a bit thin, but it's barely enough to support cultivation."

Hearing the young cultivator say this, Qin Sang secretly nodded. Schemeing against Lu Dao was not something that could be accomplished overnight. Finding a legitimate identity and lurking near Liangqiu Island was a good idea.

"I don't know how to become a leader. I really wish for guidance from you esteemed friends. Please point me in the right direction."

“My friend, you could apply to those large islands, but firstly, you'll have to wait until they recruit managers, and secondly, you'll have to compete with others, making it full of uncertainties.”

The young monk lowered his voice: "I happen to know a senior who has some influence. As long as it's not a core island, he can speak up. But that senior won't help for nothing. This..."

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

Saying that, the young monk rubbed his fingers.

Qin Sang secretly smiled. He didn't care about these spirit stones, as long as he could get things done.

He wasn't afraid of being cheated, he took out a small bag of spirit stones and handed it to the young cultivator. The man's face immediately lit up with joy.
