Chapter 1802: Fists and Swords

Lingxu Master's Residence.

Qin Sang left the Beiji Exorcism Institute and rushed straight here. When he saw Master Lingxu, he heard some good news.

"A mere few years have passed, and yet, my friend, you've risen to become one of us. Congratulations! Congratulations!"

Lingxu Master saw Qin Sang and sighed in admiration.

“Many thanks to Master Lingxu for his help back then, I invited the esteemed Zhenren Xingqiong out of seclusion. It was only then that I could achieve what I have today.”

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

Qin Sang was telling the truth.

If it weren't for Beigong Nandou giving him a talisman to help his star power infuse into his body, who knows how much effort he would have had to put in to break through, or how smoothly his tribulation would have gone.

"This is something that concerns the older Daoist, little brother. You needn't be so polite."

Master Lingxu pulled Qin Sang down to sit beside him, his expression kind and eager. "After my younger brother left last time, this old Daoist shamelessly wrote letters to several old fellows asking for one hundred bamboo joints. Luckily, I got news."

"Oh I wonder which fellow Daoist currently possesses the hundred-section bamboo"

The Tianmu Butterfly broke through on its own and didn't need the Qing霜 Dan.

Qin Sang had been collecting the ingredients for so long, the only thing missing from the prescription was one kind of spiritual herb. Naturally, he didn't want to give up halfway. After refining the Qing Shuang Dan, he could give it to the Huo Yu Centipede.

“That old man’s dharma name is Guzhen. He hails from the Tianchu Court Heavenly Physician Division. His skill in alchemy surpasses even mine, but he rarely opens his furnace outside of the Dao Court, so his fame isn’t widespread. It’s possible you haven’t heard of him, younger brother.”

Lingxu Master: A brief introduction to this person.

"People from the Dao court"

Qin Sang's expression tightened slightly.

In this realm, the Daoist school flourishes, with the Dao Court holding the highest status. Whether it be strength or various external practices, the Dao Court undoubtedly possesses numerous masters.

Visiting these people, I believe all of Qin Sang's problems will be solved.

Qin Sang intentionally avoided Daoting. Lingxu Master and Gu Master were both from the imperial palace line.

Although the imperial palaces and Daoist temples are closely related, after spending time in both, one can still feel the difference.

The strict structure and immense power of the Dao Court put immense pressure on people, but Qin Sang always avoided it whenever possible.

“Would Master Guzhen be willing to give up love” Qin Sang asked, frowning.

Lingxu Master nodded. "A hundred-section bamboo stalk is rare, but the elixir in our Daoist court is even more precious than it. The old daoist, Guzhen, has seen many things and knows a lot. Even if we take out better treasures, it would be difficult to move him. However, Guzhen Lao Dao is interested in the Qingxiang Dan formula. Without my younger brother's consent, the old daoist dares not act rashly."

He had made an agreement with Qin Sang that the medical formula should not be spread outside.

Ah, I see.

Qin Sang secretly thought, isn't this a case of selling more than one side A single pill recipe in exchange for a hundred pieces of Hundred Joints Bamboo and the Master Lingxu refining pills.

Value and non-value, all within oneself.

As long as the Panhu Zhenjing is not leaked, selling a few prescriptions should not bother Guimu.

Qin Sang thought for a moment and said, “Master, please don't reveal my origins. Just say that the prescription was something you discovered accidentally.”

Lingxu Master was slightly startled, seeing that Qin Sang had reservations about the Dao Court.

This is also normal. Anyone facing something as imposing as the Dao Court would have to be cautious, let alone someone like Qin Sang who comes from a background of martial arts.

“Great!”

Master Lingxu nodded, then suddenly looked at him with eager anticipation, "Younger brother, in these years of searching for similar pill recipes, have you made any new discoveries"

The old Taoist priest before him now looked like a child eagerly anticipating a new toy. Qin Sang couldn't help but marvel at the allure of a good elixir recipe for alchemists.

"After I returned, I carefully searched for it and managed to compile a prescription. However, I don't know if this formula can be refined," Qin Sang took out a jade slip that had already been prepared.

The jade slips record a kind of elixir called Yinghuadan.

Yinghuadan is one of the elixirs recorded in *The True Classic of Panghu*. Its efficacy is slightly weaker, but it is the easiest to refine. When a spirit worm reaches the fifth transformation realm and takes it, it can improve its cultivation base to a certain extent.

However, this effect is secondary. The most important function of this medicine is that as the insect spirit continuously consumes it, it can subtly weaken the barriers between small realms, laying a solid foundation for future breakthroughs.

This medicine needs to be used in conjunction with the Panhu Zhenjing to achieve its full effect, otherwise it will be significantly less effective.

Before relying on his avatar, Qin Sang had dabbled in alchemy and gained some proficiency. If he were to continue to delve into alchemy, one day he could also refine the Yinhua Dan himself.

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

After weighing his options, he realized his accumulation in alchemy was far less than his expertise in forging. Qin Sang decided to temporarily abandon the path of alchemy.

The avatar is still available, and I can still manage it. I find it difficult to focus on anything else myself.

Reforging one's physical form to achieve the Divine Transformation realm is a long and arduous process, requiring countless years of cultivation. Without sufficient cultivation, true achievement remains elusive.

To seek the path of ascension, he must quickly improve his strength. Comprehending the Tao of alchemy, gathering spiritual herbs, and refining pills would all consume a great deal of time and energy. It's better to entrust these tasks to others.

Lingxu Master was overjoyed, took the prescription, and eagerly looked it over.

"All are spirit flowers, this should be the nine-tailed serpent core. Well, the spirit flowers needed here are more precious, fortunately, they are not uncommon..."

Lingxu Master was immersed in it, muttering to himself, as if he had forgotten Qin Sang in front of him.

When he came to his senses, he found an jade box on the table in front of him. He opened it and saw a demonic pill.

“This is…”

Lingxu Master showed surprise.

The aura of the demon pill indicates that it belonged to a powerful demon at the middle stage of the Void-Returning realm. Moreover, there is no trace of the ferocious intent characteristic of fierce beasts within the demon pill.

Because of this indelible ferocity, the monster core of a ferocious beast is less valuable than that of a normal beast.

This demonic pill belonged to a demon marquis in life!

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

Lingxu Master looked at Qin Sang with eyes full of shock, "Younger brother, you killed a demon marquis in the middle stage of Dongxuan"

It is Li Hou's demon pill.

"It's fortunate that I encountered a severely injured demon marquis," Qin Sang said calmly, "How many spirit medicines in the pill recipe could this elixir be exchanged for"

“This…”

Even Lingxu Master couldn't answer at that time.

Here is the translated text:

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

Qin Sang decisively said, "Could Master please help exchange for spirit medicine, all of it to be used to refine the Yinghua Dan As many as possible! This demon pill is not enough. The poor Daoist will go back to the source of evil to hunt down ferocious beasts."

Cultivating the Pan Hu Zhen Jing allows one's own cultivation to increase, and it can also help the natal spirit insect grow rapidly. However, there are still bottlenecks between realms, and the master can only provide certain assistance to the spirit insect. If there is a sufficient supply of Ying Hua Dan to aid in cultivation, before the sixth transformation, one needn't worry about the Tian Mu Butterfly.

Qin Sang's tone was brimming with confidence, as if the ferocious beast demon pill was within easy reach.

Lingxu Master was confused, could he really just have entered the profound mysteries

Examining Qin Sang, Lingxu Master thought to himself that he needed to get to know his younger brother again. He was going to personally refine this pill anyway, so there was no reason to refuse.

Qin Sang originally wanted to discuss the reward for alchemy with Lingxu Master, after all, he wouldn't just open one furnace, and he might need to ask Lingxu Master to take action repeatedly in the future.

As per tradition, when a master alchemist refines alchemy, it is tacitly understood that the formula will be presented as a gift.

Unexpectedly, he was firmly rejected by Lingxu Master.

After discussing the matter, Lingxu Master decided to visit Guzhen Master in the coming days to exchange for one hundred sections of bamboo and begin refining Qingxiang Pills.

Qin Sang and Dan Cheng continued their journey, they borrowed a fire chamber from Lingxu Master, who readily agreed.

Inside the fire room.

Qin Sang sat quietly for a long time.

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

Lingxu Master was no longer in the manor. A Taoist boy guarded the gate, and Qin Sang was undisturbed by anyone.

Several things were laid out before him.

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

Return Wind Armor.

The scales of the Mu Jiao.

The lateral bone cone of the Marquis and a pair of claw covers.

Apart from that, there were some spiritual materials and ferocious beast bones found by Li Hou in storage devices.

He considered how to refine them for his own use.

The claw sheaths and bone cones, after years of refining by the wandering hermit, have similar auras. With the method of forging, there is a chance to melt them together.

Even the power of a single bone spur is comparable to that of a fake spiritual treasure.

Qin Sang possessed the Grey Nightingale Sword and the Four-Headed Serpent Seal. His Cloud Wandering Sword was also nearing completion. Deciding to forge a pair of gauntlets powered by qi and blood, he reasoned that one couldn't rely solely on bare fists for battle.

On this matter, he had consulted Master Gu and already had a general idea.

Here's the translated text, keeping only the content and HTML tags:

Making his own boxing gloves and learning from Master Gu, as well as personally repairing the broken drum, were all about honing his skills as a craftsman.

The ultimate goal is to cultivate the Yunyou Jian sword to its full potential as soon as possible, and to repair the Taiyi Star Chart at an early date.

When seeking the path to ascension and the gate to enlightenment, this treasure may also be of help.

He fell into deep thought, the outline of a boxing glove forming in his mind. His gaze swept over the treasures before him, finally settling on the returning wind armor, which he put away.

Originally, Qin Sang intended to incorporate the scales of the Mu Jiao into his Feng Jia armor. However, after deliberation, he decided to use them all for forging a pair of boxing gloves.

The first step is shaping.

Qin Sang urged the spiritual fire in the furnace, first refining all the spirit materials to remove impurities.

Here's the translation:

When faced with something difficult to refine, the Nine Nether Demon Fire is invoked.

Gradually, the room filled with balls of varying sizes floating in the air. Some were liquid and others were pure, round orbs.

Only the scales, bone cones, and claw sheaths of Mo Jiao remained.

Each piece of green scales flew into Qin Sang's palm, gradually shrinking in the refining fire, but their luster became even more dazzling.

Then came the bone cone and claw sheaths.

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

These three materials, when smelted together, form the structure of the boxing gloves. Finally, a pair of preliminary boxing gloves appear in front of Qin Sang.

The boxing gloves were only the size of a fist, with a blue light shimmering on their surface, revealing a beautiful fish scale pattern as if they were made by layering scales together.

At the edge of the boxing glove, three sharp spikes protrude, slightly curved, gleaming with a cold light, extremely sharp, easily piercing through an enemy's defense, it is undoubtedly a deadly weapon!

Looking at his own work, Qin Sang made some adjustments again, nodded in satisfaction, and induced those spheres to integrate into the boxing gloves, reinforcing the structure and enriching the details.

After the shaping is complete, the next crucial step is to engrave the restrictions and runes. This step determines the power of the gauntlets.

This step is equivalent to opening up the meridians for boxing gloves. The prohibition runes are like meridians, and the armorers call them through-flowing Qi meridians.

The choice of what kind of prohibition runes to use, how to combine them, and whether they are suitable for the user all require careful consideration.

Qin Sang refined it himself, which was relatively simple, but the progress was extremely slow. Over the past few months, he only got one embryo.

During the refining process, Qin Sang gained many insights and had a lot of thoughts that needed to be clarified. He realized that it was impossible to achieve everything at once, so he decided to stop the refining.

>

Lingxu Master returned at an unknown time, saw Qin Sang coming out of the gate, and immediately pulled him into the hall. He set out a jade bottle and stroked his beard with a smile, "Fortunately, I did not disappoint you!"

Inside the jade bottle were three pills of elixir.

The green elixir had a fine layer of white frost on its surface, like faint white clouds drifting in the azure sky.

Three pills of Qingxiang Dan!

To Qin Sang's surprise, he admired Lingxu Master greatly.

Here's the translated text, keeping the HTML tags:

According to the prescription, one furnace of Qingxiang Dan, if all the medicinal herbs are of superior quality, and other conditions are almost perfect, can be formed into four pills.

Qin Sang knew that the medicinal herbs he had collected were of uneven quality. Master Lingxu's alchemy was superb, evidenced by the three pills he crafted.

Thank you, Master!

Qin Sang excused himself, secretly thinking that if taking three Qing Shang Pills with the Fire Jade Centipede still didn't allow him to break through, he could only accept his fate.

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

Since it would take time to gather all the required herbs for Jihua Dan, Qin Sang bid farewell to Lingxu Master and left.

The north of Zhongmao is under construction.

Zheng Xing Jing, Miaotong Dan.

Leaving Lingxu Master's residence, Qin Sang came to this Dutian.

He is going to visit a powerful faction called Di Jin Shan.

Dianjingshan is quite famous in Taoism for its skill in refining artifacts. The sect's business, Dianjinge Pavilion, has branches in many places where altars are set up.

However, the gate to Mount Jianding is not located in Jingtang but in a more secluded area under the jurisdiction of another temple called Dutang.

After some investigation, Qin Sang chose Dianjingshan as his destination.

At this time, he changed his appearance and flew from the Jingshan to the capital city. He entered the fairy city and found the Point Gold Pavilion.

Upon entering the hall, Qin Sang merely said he wanted to have a magic treasure appraised. Led by a maidservant into the back hall, he saw a blacksmith who specialized in refining artifacts from Mount Jin Shan.

At a glance, you can see through the other person's cultivation level.

Qin Sang sat down boldly and said, "I heard that the head of Dianshan is a master of refining weapons. This poor Daoist came here admiringly, with a treasure to show the esteemed headmaster. However, I don't know how to see him"

The other party said impassively, “As long as your treasures are rare enough, the headmaster will meet with you personally.”

Qin Sang took out a wooden box and placed it on the table, "If you want to see it, Daoist friend, just take it."

The blacksmith held it in his hand, and after a while, beads of sweat formed on his forehead. He couldn't even break the seal on the wooden box, and he suddenly understood.

He glanced at Qin Sang with reverence, then hurriedly got up and said respectfully, "Please wait a moment, Immortal. I shall go invite the Headmaster down the mountain!"

The maidservant brought fragrant tea.

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

Qin Sang waited for a stick of incense in the quiet room. A Taoist priest with a national character face knocked on the door and walked in.

The Taoist did not smile, his bearing was solemn. Upon entering, he bowed in respect and said, "My subordinate is unmannerly and has been slow to attend to the True Person."

Qin Sang got up and smiled politely, "Forgive this poor monk for the intrusion."

The Taoist priest was precisely the headmaster of Dianshan Monastery. He sat opposite Qin Sang without asking about his identity or the origins of the treasure. With permission, he opened the wooden box.

The box seemed to contain nothing, and one could directly see the wood grain at the bottom.

The headmaster of Dianjingshan looked at the sword intently. He cautiously stretched out his hands and carefully lifted the Chengying Sword.

The Shadow-Chaser Sword in his hand, its transparent blade unseen by the eye, left only a faint shadow trace on the table.

"After getting some more alchemical texts from Mount Di Jin Shan, to confirm what I've learned before, forging gauntlets should be foolproof..."

>

Qin Sang savored the spiritual tea, lost in thought.

Only to see bursts of gold light surging from the palm of Point Mountain's hand, his hands seeming forged from gold and iron. The golden light flowed towards the Shadow Receiving Sword, illuminating its blade with a brilliant sheen. It was clear that he was using a unique secret art to investigate it.

Then he went on to change several kinds of secret arts one after another.

A flicker of doubt passed through the headmaster's eyes, and he hesitated: "This might not be a sword."

“Not a sword” Qin Sang was surprised and somewhat confused.

Dienshan's Sect Leader nodded, "At least it doesn't belong to any kind of sword I've ever seen. Perhaps it's my limited vision. But I suspect it's not a magic treasure or spirit treasure, nor like the legendary true treasures. It's a special kind of treasure. Maybe... finding an expert swordsman could reveal more."d in cinnabar, identical to the pattern Qin Sang had originally copied.The pattern in the image carries a strange power flowing within it, its waves resonating with the binding rope in Qingjun's hand....
