things.Here's the translation:Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!The guards at the city gate of Sangu City were lax. Plus, both Qin Sang and Mingyue wore Taoist robes,...Mo Xingdao took out a jade slip and handed it to Qin Sang.
Seeing the treasures listed in the jade slip, Qin Sang felt a slight ease. He was only afraid that Mo Xindao would ask for something extremely rare in the world.
> Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Collecting these treasures would be an impossible feat for Mo Xingdao now, but for Qin Sang, it would simply require venturing deeper into the Abyss once more. The rest would be a matter of spreading the word and waiting for a response.
He was preparing to visit Master Gu at Bai Shi, and taking the Dao Ting route should be faster.
Having stayed in Mo Xindao Prefecture for only an hour, Qin Sang left the prefecture and headed west until he reached a mountain at the boundary between Guishan and Baishi. There, he found the Jingtai Temple, which had relocated there.
Master originally intended to retreat to Baishi Temple, but upon considering the inconveniences of being under Dao Ting's jurisdiction and lacking a suitable location, he chose this place as a secondary option and built a villa here instead.
The high monks of Jingtái Temple and Qin Sang were already well-acquainted, so after a brief greeting, they entered the Zen hall to discuss Dharma.

Qin Sang poured out his insights without reservation, and when he asked about Buddhist teachings, the other party also gave generously.
This is equivalent to Qin Sang and all the monks joining forces to contemplate this seal.
Leaving the Jingtai Temple courtyard, Qin Sang continued westward, entering Baishi Town. He first visited Master Lingxu and finally arrived at Master Gu's residence.
Since their last parting, Qin Sang was visiting for the first time.

“My friend, you have a generous spirit to entrust such a valuable treasure to my humble abode. We haven't seen each other in a century, yet you don't fear that I might abscond with it, leaving you empty-handed” Gu Daoshi’s tone carried a hint of resentment. This time, she had still resorted to summoning him sternly through a letter.
Qin Sang smiled upon hearing this. Of course, he highly valued Gu Da Shi's expertise. Repairing the broken drum could greatly enhance his skills in refining artifacts, and he would be more confident in repairing the Taiyi Star Chariot afterward.
For many years, he prioritized his practice and could only delay his work on refining artifacts.
After all, the depths of the political arena are extremely dangerous. Even if one repairs the Taiyi Star Chart, they need sufficient strength to pass through the barrier between realms.
“Master Gu’s reputation for trustworthiness is known to everyone. If even Master Gu cannot be trusted, then I fear there are no trustworthy people left in the world...”
Before Qin Sang could finish his flattering words, he was interrupted by Master Gu's impatient voice.
"Come with me!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Master Gu invited Qin Sang into the fire room.
Inside the burning room, flames raged fiercely. A crimson orb of fire hung suspended in mid-air, and within its fiery depths lay the shattered drum.
The flames enveloped it, but no fire actually touched the broken drum. This treasure's aura was the same as it had been all those years ago.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Qin Sang couldn't understand, and looked at Master Gu with some puzzlement.
“Sit!”
Master Gu pointed to the ground, waiting for Qin Sang to sit down. After Qin Sang sat down, Master Gu sat cross-legged before him and said: "Since my friend left, I have been in constant companionship with this treasure, neglecting sleep and food..."
As Gu Daoshi spoke, Qin Sang learned about her entire experience comprehending the broken drum.
Although there had been correspondence before, it was not detailed.
>
Because of a previous appointment, Master Gu spoke about everything in detail, clearly explaining her insights into this treasure. The profound meaning contained within it touched upon the true essence of the way of refining artifacts. Some points even gave Qin Sang a sense of enlightenment, causing him to become more and more respectful as he listened with increasing seriousness.
Seeing Qin Sang's serious expression, Master Gu softened his expression and finally asked, "How much do you understand"
Qin Sang pondered, "Master is trying to tell me there are two choices for repairing this treasure"
Master Gu showed a look of satisfaction. It seemed this person had no lack of talent in the way of refining artifacts, "You are a teachable student! This is exactly what I intend, but it's up to you to choose. Firstly, continue with the original essence of this treasure and repair it completely. I am far from capable of doing so. Secondly, I can use my understanding of the path of refining artifacts to repair this treasure, but it will lose its power, and might even change its function, but it can be immediately put into use."
Hearing this, Qin Sang hesitated for a moment and continued to ask, "If we choose the second option and repair it, can it be restored to its current form afterwards"
Gu Master flashed a moment of surprise, "You mean..."
Qin Sang nodded. “Master just said that the spirit of this artifact has been extinguished. Even if we do our best to repair it, at most it will be comparable to a spiritual treasure, and there is a high probability that it will only be equivalent to a pseudo-spiritual treasure. I don't lack pseudo-spiritual treasures. Therefore, the greatest use of this treasure is to prove Master's refining method and improve my refining skills.”
After a moment's pause, Qin Sang resolutely said: "First, follow the master's method to repair this treasure and restore it to its original form. I believe it will be helpful for the next furnace opening!"
"If you're willing, I, Gu Daoshi, will accompany you," Gu Daoshi readily agreed. This proposition was most beneficial to her, and she hadn't expected Qin Sang to be so bold."
After repairing the Heaven's Spirit Treasure, the amount of spiritual materials used was immeasurable. It was a cost that ordinary people could not afford.
Qin Sang had always been decisive. He took out the beast bones and other items he had accumulated from the Qianjun戒 before, and said, "This time, let the Master take charge of the furnace. I'll just be an assistant."
A family knows its own affairs best.
Even with Master Gu's help, his chances of success in repairing the Spirit Treasure tomorrow are less than 10%.
Master Gu's expression flickered, he glanced at Qin Sang, and stopped him from taking any more treasures. "These are enough. My humble abode still has some resources, sufficient to support this furnace opening. As for the next time, I have some gains, there are a few essential things that need to be collected by my friend."
She said several names, Qin Sang jotted them down one by one.
Then, Qin Sang stayed at Master Gu's residence for an unusually long time of a year, learning the art of refining artifacts.
Master Gu had made preparations beforehand and in just one year, he gathered all the spiritual materials. He also conveniently collected everything that Mo Xindao needed.
Inside the room.
Here is the translation of your text:

The fire was blazing bright.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Both Qin Sang and Master Gu seemed to be covered in a layer of crimson gauze.
A piercing red light shone on Qin Sang's face. He stared intently at Master Gu's movements, afraid of missing even a single detail.
At this moment, Master Gu was employing a hitherto unseen method of refining weaponry. He first used his divine powers to condense eight spirit incense sticks, standing them in the eight directions.
Incense burning, the fragrant smoke gathered toward Master Gu's hands.
The fragrance merges with the spirit fire, triggering strange changes. It seems like a cloud dragon surrounds the broken drum, dancing and soaring.
As each seal was struck, the hole in the drum gradually mended.
Master Gu was as skilled in needlework as a master craftswoman, carefully weaving at the hole and gradually repairing it.
It sounds easy, but this step alone took ten days.
Until the very end, the drum face was completely restored.
Master Gu suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp and focused. With a wave of his hand, the spirit drum burst forth from the flames, gleaming as good as new!
'Whoosh!'
The flames die down.
Qin Sang flew to Gu Da Shi's side and examined the Linggu. The drumhead was almost invisible after being repaired, emitting a pearly luster like jade. The drum body was red, adorned with enigmatic patterns.
Master Gu raised his right hand, placing the spirit drum in his palm. His divine sense slowly probed into it, finding no trace of the Tongbao Jue technique, but he could still control it normally.
According to her understanding, the true treasure spirit has been extinguished and there is no such thing as a "Tongshen Jue". Whether or not a later-born spiritual treasure retains the "Tongshen Jue" depends on the relationship between the owner and the spirit, whether they can trust each other.

Qin Sang waited quietly on the side.
In a short while, the spiritual drum flew up on its own, transforming into a red ray that soared into the sky, becoming a huge drum with a diameter of several dozen zhang.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The drum body vibrates.
There was no one striking it, yet a thunderous drumbeat echoed from the drum itself.
'Boom!'
The moment the drumbeat began.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
Qin Sang's heart beat heavily. Even with his steadfast resolve, he felt a surge of excitement at this moment, as if a powerful fighting spirit was rising from within him.
Those with weak resolve, stirred by the drums, might forget their own lives in that moment and recklessly charge into battle.
Then, Master Gu tried other divine powers of the Linggu drum, all related to battle formations.
The function of this treasure is self-evident.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"It's a shame..."
Master Gu sighed.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
As a member of the Daoist sect, she naturally prioritizes the interests of the Daoist court. The appearance of this spirit drum on the battlefield would undoubtedly provide a significant advantage to their side.
If it is a perfect celestial treasure of the future, with just this treasure, the Daoist Court could increase its chances of victory by one-tenth!
If it were possible to restore the Ling Bao's power, it would be a once-in-a-lifetime treasure. Master Gu would do everything in his power to exchange for this artifact.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Unfortunately, Master Gu confirmed that this treasure is a natal spirit treasure of a previous senior. Even if fully repaired, it can only exert the power equivalent to an excellent magic treasure.
No matter how special its function, a top-grade magic treasure cannot change the course of battle.
Of course, Linggu is not entirely worthless. One day, if she fully comprehends the secrets of this treasure, she may have the opportunity to create similar artifacts.
Master Gu shook his head slightly and handed the spirit drum to Qin Sang, "This is a war drum..."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Qin Sang caught it, pondered it slightly, and understood the function of the spirit drum. His emotions weren't greatly agitated.
The spirit drum is a natal spirit treasure, and keeping it for oneself enhances the art of refining artifacts. If it's not a natal spirit treasure, it won't be much use to oneself. By presenting it to the Daoist temple through Master Gu, one wouldn't be treated unfairly.
In any case, it's not a bad thing for Qin Sang.
Qin Sang was interested in Master Gu's process of refining weaponry. He had many questions and couldn't wait to ask them.
Master Gu was also eager to comprehend his previous insights. He briefly and concisely explained them to Qin Sang, then took the spirit drum and went into seclusion, leaving Qin Sang alone in the fire room.
After Elder Gu left, Qin Sang stayed in the fire room for days, constantly refining something.
Ultimately, two fist-sized bone spheres hovered before Qin Sang.
The bone orb was black and white, transformed from Xia Hou's antlers. It had been refined by him for many days, becoming a spiritual embryo.
He decided to incorporate the bone ball into his gauntlets and reforge the treasure, but not here.
Master Gu was in seclusion and couldn't be disturbed. Qin Sang left a letter and departed from Shibi.
Before leaving, Qin Sang hesitated a little, but then he thought of the other two items in Qian Jun's amulet.
... from the Wuxiang Xianmen's Zhuyu and Baiqi who was obtained at the Lan Dou Men.
Qin Sang took out three ancient treasures, had people appraise them, and then kept them to himself, intending to ponder over them alone.
>
Over the past hundred years, his progress in the art of refining weaponry has been remarkable, yet he still couldn't fathom their origins.
As for the Yin Yang Heavenly Combat Secret Art, in the short term, he definitely wouldn't be able to split his focus again.
"Shall we ask someone else for advice"
Qin Sang hesitated and ultimately abandoned the idea.
Both Zhuyu and Baiqi are related to the "Yin Yang Heavenly Combat Secret Art". They pertain to a lineage of Taoism. If that lineage doesn't fit in with this world and is recognized by someone with ill intentions, it will cause trouble.
Qin Sang went to visit Master Qi after returning from Bai Shi.
Master Qi had never been a man of meticulous appearance, and now he could be described as disheveled and unkempt. Knowing his time was short, he dared not waste a moment.
His disciples understood their master's kind intentions, and there was sadness on their faces.
Feeling the oppressive atmosphere in the mansion, Qin Sang sighed inwardly and, without any notification, pushed open the door and entered.
Master Qi was awakened with a start, his bloodshot eyes filled with confusion.
“Master gone crazy” Qin Sang shook his head repeatedly, forcibly pulling Master Qi to the door.
As the scorching sun shone down, it gradually regained its clarity.
Master Qi fell silent for a long time, and then in a raspy voice he murmured, "This poor monk has only ten years of life left!"
Qin Sang knew his aspirations, but didn't know how to dissuade him. He sighed and said: "The poor monk came here to do everything in his power to help the master."
As he spoke, he swept his sleeve through the fire room, clearing away the debris and storing the remaining pieces of the genuine treasure in his thousand-pound ring.
Seeing the fragments of the True Treasure being taken away, Master Qi almost fought them.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Do not worry! Just look at this!"
Qin Sang waved his hand again.
Two boxing gloves, black and white orbs, and several spheres of light of varying sizes, float in the void.
Master Qi glanced at it and was immediately captivated by the black and white bone ball. With his keen eyesight, though he didn't know its origins, he could sense that it was extraordinary.
"The poor Dao has reforged this treasure and wishes to ask the Master for help. I wonder what the Master thinks" Qin Sang asked.
Before the words left his mouth, Master Qi eagerly nodded in agreement.
Seeing him staring intently at the ball of bones, Qin Sang smiled and handed it directly into his hand.
Master Qi loved it dearly and sat down on the spot. Ignoring everyone else, he used secret techniques to analyze it. After a while, his expression turned anxious. "This... I'm afraid my poor skills will ruin Daoist Friend's hard work..."
He could see that the bone ball was extremely precious, far surpassing any kind of monster bone he had ever seen.
Qin Sang didn't take it to heart, "We jointly refined the elixir. Even if we fail, it wouldn't be fair to blame a single Dao friend."
Qi Da Shi only then knew Qin Sang's painstaking efforts, took a deep breath, moved his lips, rose and bowed to the ground, "Thank you, Daoist friend, for making this happen!"
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
Then the two shut themselves in a chamber, and did not go out for several months.
For months, Qin Sang taught Qi Da Shi his thoughts and guided him in the art of refining weaponry.
Of course, what he called "guidance" was actually something Qin Sang had learned from Master Gu. He was now passing on what could be taught to Master Qi.
This content is a single paragraph ending tag.
Once Qin Sang learned from Master Qi, but now the situation has reversed. Master Qi remains indifferent, greedily absorbing everything like a starving man.
Finally, the day of the ceremony arrived. Master Qi's face was beaming with confidence, and Qin Sang sat to his left and right, flanking the square cauldron.
Qin Sang was still in charge of the fire, but this time Qin Sang also participated in the refining process. The two worked together seamlessly.
Two boxing gloves flew into Fang Ding's hands.
Then, the black and white spheres of bone and other luminous orbs merged one after another. Inside the cauldron remained only a lump of grayish jelly, expanding and contracting, no longer resembling the shape of a boxing glove.
>
The spiritual fire burns fiercely.
The qi within the cauldron fluctuated constantly. Qin Sang and Master Qi both closed their eyes tightly, continuously performing hand seals, striking towards the center of the cauldron.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
After an unknown amount of time, the Fangding suddenly trembled and made a loud ringing sound. Master Qi's face beamed with excitement as he forcefully clapped his hands on the cauldron body.
"Whoosh!"
A beam of blood light shot out, suddenly bursting with an incomparably sharp aura.
Blood light circled through the void, was caught by Master Qi in his hand, and after checking it, he laughed and struck Qin Sang.
Qin Sang took it, and suddenly felt a connection as if blood relatives. He only felt a chill enter his body, and the object in his palm had vanished.
Looking at his palm, Qin Sang's heart moved. A blood glow flickered in the center of his palm, and silently, a sharp blood thorn rose up.
Jian in the palm, or called Palm strike!
Qin Sang is now extremely powerful in the flesh, and the boxing gloves are more like icing on the cake. After careful consideration, he decided to give up the boxing gloves and refine this unexpected weapon.
Of course, this treasure also has a deeper meaning, confirming Qin Sang's previous accumulation in the path of refining tools.
Both of them gained a lot by refining this treasure.
>
After staying in Xingdao Xianhu for several months, Qin Sang returned to his cave and prepared to explore the Poisonous Cave!
