Chapter 271 Invitation

reet were rough stone houses.After touring Green Warbler Island, Qin Sang bought the most detailed nautical chart of the surrounding islands from a local vendor. Having easily pinpointed Crimson Leaf...Qin Sang didn't know how to comfort him.

A traveler need not evoke Qin Sang's sympathy, he quickly put aside his melancholy and smiled: "Just a moment of sentimentality, I apologize for troubling my brother Qin."

Qin Sang shook her head.

"Senior's resolve is steadfast, junior admires."

The Cloud-Traveling Wanderer let out a hearty laugh, and suddenly his spirit soared with boundless passion. “The Great Dao is unfeeling! Naturally, we cultivators should possess an indomitable spirit, otherwise, how many talented individuals would there be in the world Out of all those who strive for power, how many can truly forge the Golden Core Why should it be you or me Only by doing so can we stand tall before heaven and unashamedly face ourselves. Even if our bodies perish and our spirits dissipate, we can still smile as we enter the Yellow Springs.”

(The original sentence comes from Mencius's "Chapter on Diligence": Looking up, one is not ashamed before heaven; looking down, one is not ashamed before people.)

He tilted his head slightly, his eyes shining brightly. Although he was deep underground, his gaze seemed to pierce through the ancient ruins and fix on the blue sky above.

Qin Sang fell silent, reminiscing about the forty years that had passed. He had come to be where he was today, just like Yun Youzi said, by seizing every opportunity and never giving up.

Only four words.

Remember the original intention!

"Qin younger brother, it's not the old Daoist exaggerating. The two words "Golden Core," Gold refers to a strong and everlasting thing that is indestructible; Dan refers to something complete, pure, and flawless. Qin younger brother has an injury in his Qi Sea, which might make it difficult for him to achieve completeness. You should seek medicine to heal your injuries as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you wait until you reach the Nascent Soul realm and then hastily treat your injuries, time will not be on your side, and it will be too late to regret."

The cloud traveler retracted his gaze and offered a word of caution.

Qin Sang asked in a grave voice, "Has your predecessor ever given an example of this"

He searched ancient texts on Shao Hua Mountain and found that everyone's cultivation journey was different, making it difficult to determine the extent to which his damaged foundation would affect his dan formation.

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

Twenty years of experience proved that the "Yuen Shen Yang Jian Zhang" was feasible, and could even be said to be the most suitable method for him.

If nothing goes wrong, he will surely be able to break through to the False Core Realm before his lifespan runs out and衝擊結丹. There is no need for Yun Youzi to remind him, Qin Sang also knows that the matter of forming a core must be considered from now on.

It is better to prevent than to cure.

The Cloud Wanderer slowly shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. The path of cultivation is like thousands of horses crossing a single plank bridge, all vying for a sliver of hope. Only one out of ten cultivators who attempt to form their golden core succeeds. Therefore, failure in forming the golden core is the most common occurrence. It's difficult to say exactly how much damage to your Qi Sea will affect you. However, every cultivator strives for the Golden Core, going through great lengths and even risking everything to find ways to increase their chances of success, even if it's just a slight improvement. They wouldn't miss any opportunity. As for us, we naturally have to find a way to make up for this, and ideally achieve a perfect outcome."

Qin Sang pondered for a moment, then spoke, "To be frank, Senior, I've also been looking into healing methods. I found out about three kinds of pills that might be useful for my injuries: He Yun Dan, Wu Zhi Shen Gao, and Xue參 Yu Sheng Dan. Coincidentally, all three were auctioned off by your master's sect at Tai Yi Dan Ge. Do you have any knowledge of them, Senior"

"These..."

Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Yun Youzi glanced at Qin Sang, “Qin younger brother, the three kinds of pills you’re interested in do have the effect of nourishing your foundation, indeed they are among the best in this category. However, for Qin younger brother to buy these pills in Taiyi Dan Ge, it will be difficult. The formulas for these pills require several main ingredients that are said to have been found in an ancient medicine garden, which are already limited. Because some senior brothers wanted to improve their alchemy skills, they only refined a small number of such pills. Since the sect has put these pills up for auction, there have been countless people seeking them, including major forces and some scattered cultivators who have formed their Golden Cores, it is almost impossible for them to circulate again. Qin younger brother can go to Taiyi Dan Ge and ask in detail, the pill auction was decades ago.”

Hearing this, Qin Sang's heart sank. Twenty years ago, when he inquired with the manager at Taiyi Dan Ge, he had noticed that several auctions had taken place a long time ago. He already had some premonition, and now Yun Youzi confirmed it.

Currently, in the cultivation world, spirit herbs are scarce, especially high-grade elixirs like He Yun Dan. The main ingredient for this elixir is nurtured by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It's virtually impossible to find it outside the realm, making it incredibly rare. It can only be found on ancient battlefields where immortals fought. That's why it's so scarce.

If you come to seek medicine...

Qin Sang also heard the subtext in Yun Youzi's words. The Taiyi Danzong's dispensing of medicine was not just about seeing how much they could charge, but also about making connections. As a cultivator at the early stage of foundation building, how could he compete with those major forces and Jindan cultivators

Unless he is willing to spend a fortune, and be slaughtered, producing something that could move the heart of the Taiyi Danzong.

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

The aged earth mage is preparing to refine the Primordial Unity Heart Ring. The spirit creatures he has collected are each of great value. If he were to offer some, it would definitely be enough to persuade the Taiyi Pill Sect.

However, unless he was backed into a corner, Qin Sang didn't want to offer these things up.

The elderly man had painstakingly collected these for so long, which shows the rarity of these spiritual creatures. Once offered, they may not be found again.

Qin Sang had seen the refining method of the Mixed Yuan Heart Ring and found that it was only missing two kinds of spirit creatures. That is to say, after he formed his alchemy pill, he only needed to find these two kinds of spirit creatures, and he would have another magic weapon by his side. This temptation was too great.

Of course, if one cannot form a golden pill, everything is like a mirage. In the end, one has to make the change. But Qin Sang is only in the early stage of foundation building now, and he still has a long time to prepare.

Thank you for your guidance, senior. I understand now.

Qin Sang politely expressed his thanks, secretly calculating in his heart how he should proceed.

At this time, Yun Youzi hesitated for a moment and said, "Qin younger brother, if you are interested in finding such spiritual herbs, I have a place here, but I don't know if Qin younger brother is willing"

>

Qin Sang looked at Yun Youzi in surprise.

"Please speak, senior."

The Cloud Traveler nodded, "Brother Qin, do you still remember our first meeting six months ago at Changyangfang Market At that time, I was preparing to head west because I had come across a rumor, saying that someone found a secret passage in the cave dwelling of an ancient cultivator. It might lead to the cultivator's medicine garden. I spent half a year investigating and believe there is a seven or eight out of ten chance this rumor is true. Since the garden has just been discovered, the medicinal herbs inside haven't been harvested yet. There might be what you and I need. However, going alone would be too risky for me. That's why I came back to find help. When I met Brother Qin in the Tianjing Secret Realm, I wanted to tell him about this, but my mission got in the way. If Brother Qin is interested, you can count yourself in."

Qin Sang recalled when they first met the Cloud Wanderer in Changyangfang Market. The Cloud Wanderer had indeed mentioned receiving news about a solution to the hidden danger and going to investigate it.

However, since Yun Youzi suddenly invited him, Qin Sang didn't feel comfortable directly accepting or rejecting.

He also wanted to go back to the Taiyi Dan Pavilion to ask if there was really no auction of these three types of pills: He Yundan.

Seeing Qin Sang hesitate, Yun Youzi didn't urge him, and said again: "Brother Qin, don't feel pressured to answer right away. Entering that cave isn't easy, and the time it opens is still two or three years later. It's better to wait until after we escape this danger before discussing it in detail."

Address:o the right place! Anything about the Boundless Sea can't escape the ears of our Nine Star Society!""Don't speak too full!"Qin Sang snorted coldly, "I ask you, near Jiujie Island, has anything major h...
