encounter with him.Besides the three of them, there was also an old Taoist priest who looked to be about sixty years old. He had graying hair and a goat-like beard, giving him a rather aged appearanc...In front of the courtyard.

Qin Sang, disguised, had just presented his visiting card and stood with his hands behind his back, sizing up the courtyard.

The forest was lush with trees, birds singing and flowers fragrant. It was a truly wonderful dwelling place, wherever one went.

This is the residence of Master Qi.

In a short while, a young Taoist boy rushed out and bowed. "Master Mingyue, Master requests your presence."

"Thank you, Master Dao."

Qin Sang smiled brightly and thanked them, then was led into the reception hall by a boy attendant.

The boy attendant presented the incense tea and spirit fruits, "Please wait a moment, senior. Master still has some things to attend to, he will be here shortly."

Qin Sang nodded, "Master Dao, please go ahead."

After the Daoist children left, Qin Sang savored his fragrant tea and pondered deeply.

When visiting this Master Qi, Qin Sang's purpose was not to ask the other party to refine magic weapons. There were two reasons for his visit.

Firstly, I would like to ask about the art of refining.

His natal spirit sword, Yun You Jian, has been untouched since it absorbed the true essence of Jiao Mu. It awaits the day when Yun You Jian will birth its own spirit.

In the world of storms, Qin Sang had received some guidance and scriptures, but there was little experience to refer to.

Secondly, please have this master take a look and see what the origins of those three remaining treasures are.

Qin Sang pondered, the three remaining treasures might have come from the Immortal Palace, and their quality definitely wouldn't be low. Taking them all out would inevitably attract suspicion. If it caused any trouble, he wouldn't want that.

Given Qin Sang's current strength, facing the forces of Shizuru is not as fearful as those of Dao Ting. I'm afraid some forces may have connections with Dao Ting.

Why don't you take out one item to scout first

Qin Sang's divine consciousness probed into the Qianjun Ring, and three remnants of treasures appeared before his eyes: a sword, a drum, and a painting.

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

Qin Sang valued the Chengying Sword the most, after all, he was also a sword cultivator. It seemed that this sword was also the most complete. The more he valued it, the more cautious he had to be.

The broken drum has a hole in its surface, and it seems that repairing the hole would be enough to restore this treasure.

As for the scroll, it depicts a boundless expanse of water that is constantly in motion. It has been flowing ceaselessly to this day, producing the sound of trickling water. The treasure possesses its own unique aura.

When Qin Sang first obtained this treasure, he couldn't see anything special about it. Judging from its appearance, he thought that this treasure might be the most precious one.

Now Qin Sang's cultivation is vastly different from before. Looking at this treasure again, he has a new understanding. He suspects that the damage to the scroll is the most severe.

Just then, Qin Sang sensed someone walking towards the hall. He withdrew his divine sense, stood up, and looked out the door. Upon seeing the person, he was taken aback.

Such an unconstrained person is truly rare!

The visitor was a plump Taoist priest, with his hair bun askew and looking flustered. His Taoist robe was a magic treasure with self-cleaning abilities; it looked brand new except for a large hole ripped in the side.

Given his attire, his round physique didn't seem so out of place.

Qin Sang couldn't imagine how a Taoist with the cultivation of an infant soul could have reduced him to this state.

Some alchemists who experimented on themselves, or evil cultivators, might possibly become neither human nor ghost.

The fat Taoist priest was indeed the Qi Master he was looking for.

This person is highly skilled in the way of refining artifacts. A fake spirit treasure that appeared at the auction held by the Ju Shan Hui was crafted by this individual.

When Qin Sang saw through Qi Da Shi's cultivation, he couldn't help but feel doubtful in his heart.

"Never judge a book by its cover."

Qin Sang thought to himself, but couldn't help but wonder, "Does this person meet expectations"

"Master Mingyue"

Master Qi strode into the hall, bringing with him a gust of wind. He squinted at Qin Sang with eyes narrowed to slits and said in a gruff voice, “I thought it was some old geezer using a pseudonym to amuse himself by seeking out Poor Dao, but I see that Friend Daoist is a complete stranger.”

Qin Sang bowed and said, "I rarely visited Xingdao Xianhu before. After my breakthrough, I went out to travel and wanted to refine a handy magic treasure, so I came to visit the master."

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

"So you just broke through... please sit down."

Master Qi suddenly understood.

Given the fame of Master Qi, many real people like Zhenren Shengxuan came to visit, but not everyone could meet him personally.

Had Qin Sang not revealed the aura of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, Master Qi wouldn't have welcomed him in so readily.

"What kind of magic treasure are you preparing to refine, Daoist friend" Master Qi was truly a dedicated artisan. He didn't bother with Qin Sang's origins and got straight to the point.

Qin Sang was also a weapon refiner. Through questions, he calmly tested this person's attainments in the way of refining weapons and gradually put away his disdainful heart.

>

This person truly lives up to their reputation; sometimes, just a few words from them can make Qin Sang's mind race.

After a while of conversation, Master Qi's brows furrowed, "Fellow Daoist, it seems you haven't yet formed a clear idea."

Just now Qin Sang's questions were outlandish, if he hadn't found these questions interesting, he would have been very impatient already.

"That's why I came to ask the master for guidance."

Qin Sang smiled, "I will stay in Hutou City for a while, no need to rush. Besides, I have something else I would like to ask Master about."

As he spoke, the Qianjun Guai's light flickered. Qin Sang had a wooden box in his hand. He opened its seal.

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

“This treasure was obtained by the poor Daoist by chance. The poor Daoist has kept it for many years, but has never been able to figure it out. Please, Master, have a look.”

Master Qi realized this was Qin Sang's true intention. He was a little surprised, but his interest piqued. His eyes glinted as he looked at the wooden box.

Through just now's exchange, Master Qi saw that Qin Sang wasn't completely ignorant in the way of refining tools.

Those questions must have been a test for him. What kind of treasure was worthy of such careful consideration from this person

‘Bang!’

The content within the tags is "

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

The wooden box opened, and the sound of running water instantly filled the hall.

Immediately, a scroll flew out of the wooden box, suspended in mid-air. The shape of the scroll was irregular, with five corners.

The entire scroll was covered by water, which flowed like a section cut from the river itself, its source and end unknown.

"Wow! Wow! Wow!"

The sound of flowing water echoed in the hall.

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

"This is..."

Master Qi stared intently at the scroll, his expression somewhat vacant. He suddenly turned to Qin Sang, his voice urgent, "Could you please allow this poor Taoist to hold it and take a look"

He knew the rules and didn't ask about the origin of the treasure.

Here is the translation:

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

"It's alright."

Qin Sang nodded, a hint of anticipation in her heart. This person seemed to have truly seen something.

Master Qi raised his right hand, and the scroll flew over on its own.

Qin Sang's eyes flashed, he felt this person was performing some kind of secret technique, an invisible wave enveloping the scroll.

This is a response to your request.

As the scroll fell into the master's palm, streaks of white light shot out from his hand, quickly forming a cloud of mist that enveloped the scroll.

Regardless of the stranger beside him, Master Qi closed his eyes and immersed himself completely in the white mist.

Qin Sang lifted his spirit tea and sipped it slowly, watching quietly as Master Qi moved.

Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!

Only to see Master Qi strike several hand seals in succession before settling into stillness. White mist and a scroll hung before him, the mist swirling, the scroll appearing and disappearing within the white haze, rising and falling unpredictably.

After a while, Master Qi changed his hand gestures again. The scroll sometimes rolled up into a tube and sometimes unfurled.

Qin Sang gradually saw some patterns. The mist held a strange power, and Master Qi tried to manipulate it to seep into the scroll. It was a rather exquisite secret art of refining artifacts.

Unfortunately, the seemingly gentle flowing water repeatedly thwarted Qi Master's efforts. No matter how many seal techniques he used, they were all deflected back by the water.

However, Master Qi did not come away empty-handed. The mist gradually gathered at the edges of the scroll, forming a ring of fog.

Next, the changes in mist became increasingly subtle.

I don't know how long ago it was.

Qi Da Shi suddenly let out a long sigh and regained his composure.

Qin Sang's heart moved. Just now, Master Qi had used all his means, but the scroll remained unchanged. Could it be that he had failed

“Master, have you seen anything” Qin Sang asked eagerly.

Qi Da Shi pondered for a moment and said, "This poor Dao doesn't have complete certainty, but…"

After a moment of silence, Master Qi suddenly changed his tone and asked Qin Sang, "Friend Daoist, do you know what changes will occur after a magic treasure nurtures a spirit fetus, achieves the status of a spiritual treasure, and continues to improve its rank"

Qin Sang of course knew that what Qi Da Shi said about a spiritual fetus should be his understanding of spirit. After the birth of the spirit, it naturally had to nurture the equipment spirit.

"Birthgiver Spirit"

"This is just one example."

"Master Qi nodded and said, 'The poor monk had the good fortune to see a book that recorded that after achieving Lingbao, one could choose to help Lingbao nurture its spirit tool. It is divided into innate and acquired.'"

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

Qin Sang pricked up his ears and listened carefully. This was a secret hidden even above the spiritual treasures.

Although he only had one spirit treasure in his hand.

Since we're on the topic, Master Qi elaborated further, "The division between innate and acquired treasures is based on the origin of the treasure and its spirit. Those refined by cultivators are called acquired treasures with nurtured spirits, or acquired spiritual treasures. Legends say that there are spiritual treasures born innately, with innate spirits, their spirits nurtured by heaven and earth, called innate treasures with nurturing spirits, or innate spiritual treasures. As for the differences between innate and acquired treasures, this humble Taoist is not privy to."

Master Qi continued, "Apart from this, there is another branch called the True Treasure."

“A true treasure”

Qin Sang showed a thoughtful expression.

"That's right, it is said that at the moment when a spirit is about to be born, one could use powerful divine arts to forcibly interrupt it and completely refine the nascent spirit into the spiritual treasure. In this way, one could achieve a true treasure."

"At this point, Master Qi's face was filled with astonishment. 'After hearing this secret, I was shocked for a long time,' he said. 'I thought it was a waste of such a treasure. But according to the ancient text, Zhenbao is not inferior to acquired spirit treasures, and in some aspects may even be stronger. Above the Spirit Treasures are the innate Spirit Treasures, the acquired Spirit Treasures, and the Zhenbao. It is said that each has its own unique qualities...'

As for the distinction between the three treasures, even Master Qi couldn't say for sure. After all, he hadn't reached that level yet.

Qin Sang also knew that perhaps the Daoist sect had some relevant scriptures and traditions hidden within. Master Qi wasn't a member of the Daoist sect, so he didn't have the right to view them.

Qin Sang quickly calmed down, his eyes widening in surprise as he looked at the scroll. "Could it be that I've stumbled upon a great opportunity Is this one of the three treasures"

"...most likely pieces of real treasure..."

Master Qi hesitated, "When complete, it's probably going to be a spirit diagram, banners, and cloud garments."

"A real fragment of the True Treasure"

Qin Sang's eyes flashed with disappointment. He had thought it was a damaged genuine treasure, but a damaged genuine treasure and a genuine treasure fragment are two different concepts.

He gazed at the scroll, not expecting such a profound origin for this treasure. It seemed that the Wuxiang Immortal Sect had explored the immortal palace very thoroughly back then.

In the Yun Chi of the Lang Huan Jade Pavilion, the scrolls, the Cheng Ying Sword, and the Broken Drum are the most eye-catching three treasures.

"Would the other two items also be genuine treasures"

Qin Sang's heart suddenly felt a surge of warmth. She looked at Master Qi excitedly and asked, "Master, is there any way to repair this treasure"

>

Master Qi showed a wry smile. "Friend, you flatter me too much. Don't speak of fragments of true treasures; even slightly damaged true treasures are beyond my capabilities. To be honest with you, my lifelong ambition is nothing more than to refine a spiritual treasure."

At this point, Master Qi had been wanting to speak but held back. Finally, he couldn't help himself and disregarded any rules, repeatedly asking: "Daoist friend, could you tell me where you obtained this treasure"

"This..."

Qin Sang hesitated for a moment before saying, "Once when I was traveling in the depths of Nieyuan, I came across this by accident. It seemed rather mysterious to me, so I brought it back. I never expected its origins to be so astonishing."

This was an excuse he had prepared a long time ago.

The source of evil, the sea of suffering, is dangerous and mysterious. It's said that some have found opportunities there.

Master Qi didn't doubt him and thought to himself, "Perhaps my friend has encountered a powerful figure from the Daoist sect, maybe even a legendary True Immortal or Celestial Master engaged in combat. Only they would possess the ability to forge and shatter genuine treasures."

Qin Sang took the scroll in his hand, flipping it over and over again, and sighed softly: "In that case, this treasure can not only be repaired, but even to refine it for other purposes is also a fantasy."

"This poor monk truly cannot do it. If my Daoist friend could summon a high-ranking member of the Daoist sect, perhaps they could point out a clear path for you," Master Qi shook his head repeatedly.

I visited a high-ranking Taoist, and I will definitely go back in the future.

Since it's just a fragment of a genuine treasure, the risk of attracting covetous attention is much lower.

Qin Sang secretly thought to himself, with a turn of his palm, he was about to put the scroll away.

Qi Da Shi suddenly exclaimed, "Hold on, Daoist friend!"

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

"Master, what is the matter" Qin Sang's lips curled into a smile.

In the world of cultivation, those who are devoted to the outer path and those who strive for immortality are both fools.

He could use the shamanic formula to lure Lingxu Master, and he could also use the fragments of a true treasure to lure this Qi Master.

This method is foolproof and won't fail even if the other party doesn't take the bait.

As expected, Master Qi rubbed his palms together and said cautiously, "Since Daoist friend will be staying in Putuo for a while, I wonder if you would be willing to lend this treasure to me for a look Although I cannot refine it, if I can contemplate it, it would be of great benefit... I would be eternally grateful to Daoist friend."

Qin Sang pretended to hesitate and said, "This poor Taoist is delighted to see the Master's magical powers so advanced. It is a great blessing for us mountain-dwelling cultivators."

Master Qi's face instantly lit up with joy.

>

...but.

Under Master Qi's concerned gaze, Qin Sang said calmly, “To be frank, I am quite interested in the way of refining artifacts. Unfortunately, I lack a master and have limited knowledge. While Master contemplates this treasure, could you allow me to observe from the side and provide me with a simple explanation Also, I intend to accept disciples and have long admired the famous sects of Xingdao Xianhu. When the time comes, would Master be willing to recommend them for ordination”

> For the Alignment Master, only the first condition gave him a hard time.

The sects in Star Island Immortal Lake had all once recruited Qi masters, so there were more or less connections. Securing the qualifications for becoming an ordained disciple wasn't a difficult task.

Qin Sang's request was not merely to inform him of his insights. To comprehend the true treasure, one needed to utilize special techniques and have them explained in context. This inevitably involved delving into the core principles of Qi Da Shi's lineage, akin to guiding a direct disciple.

He is blatantly stealing techniques.

But, the temptation of Zhenbao was just too great!

Master Qi finally gave in to temptation, "Very well, as my friend suggests! But let me make it clear, I cannot guarantee how much you will ultimately comprehend."

“That depends on how quick my wit is.”

Qin Sang smiled and passed the scroll over.

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else! by the branches.But as time passed, Qin Sang's figure became increasingly calm. If you looked closely, you could see that the rhythm of his movements perfectly matched the changes in the branches. Ev...
