Chapter 2012: Jade Sword

ring intently at a patch of shadow in the corner.At this time, the other people in the hall also filed out. Seeing the scene outside, they were all a little shocked.If Cui Ji's enemies came looking fo...Seeing that Qin Sang didn't mind Luo Guanjia's disrespectful words, Ruan Shi took the hint and closed his mouth, looking at Luo Guanjia instead.

Luo Guanjia seemed calm, but in reality, he was extremely nervous. The other party was not only a powerful cultivator of the Refining Void stage, but also an elder of the Five Elements Alliance, with a high status and should not be offended. If it weren't for necessity, he wouldn't dare to be so stubborn.

With his mind at ease, Manager Luo quickly took out a purple stone. "Senior, if you can remove the impurities from this Zi Yuan Stone and refine the purest Zixiao Divine Iron, it will prove your abilities."

Seeing the stone in Luo Guanjia's hand, Qin Sang was somewhat surprised.

Purple-gold Divine Iron was a precious spiritual material, he naturally knew that, but he had never heard of this purple source stone. The texts from the Five Elements Alliance did not mention it either.

>

According to records, Zi Xiao divine iron in the Great Thousand World exists in the form of crystals. As long as a vein is found, the most refined Zi Xiao divine iron can be obtained. However, Zi Xiao divine iron has a troublesome characteristic: these crystals are independent. It is very difficult to smelt them into a whole piece of Zi Xiao divine iron, and crystal-shaped Zi Xiao divine iron cannot be directly used to forge weapons.

“Where did you get this purple source stone”

Qin Sang took the stone into his palm and probed it with his divine sense. He made a new discovery: the Ziyuan Stone was far less refined than the Zijiao Divine Iron crystals, but the Zijiao Divine Iron extracted from it could be directly formed into blocks, saving him the trouble of smelting.

"The Purple Source Stone is said to come from a specific region within the vast wilderness. Due to its unique environment, a vein of the stone formed there. Unless there are similar environments elsewhere, only that place produces Purple Source Stones," replied Manager Luo.

“Barren”

Qin Sang took a deep look at Lao Cai, no wonder even the Five Elements Alliance didn't have a record of it.

Who could the master behind Luo Guanjia be, to bring out such treasures from the wilderness Could they come from the chaotic region between Dazhou and the Wilderness

In just a few breaths, Qin Sang had already understood the properties of the Purple Origin Stone. Extracting the Zi Xiao Divine Iron from it wasn't particularly difficult. The key was in the process of refining—how much loss would be incurred, and how much pure Zi Xiao Divine Iron could be extracted. This was what truly revealed the skill of the refiner.

Especially for those who have just come into contact with Zi Yuan Shi, only those who have a deep understanding of the way of refining tools can minimize the loss. It's a clever way to test one's abilities.

Qin Sang stood still, his eyes half-closed, holding the Zi Yuan Stone in his hand, ready to refine it on the spot.

When Ruan the steward saw this, he quietly opened the courtyard formation and pulled Lao Luo the butler aside to watch Qin Sang's actions silently.

Zhenyuan gradually converged toward Qin Sang's palm, a visible cloud of mist enveloping the Ziyuan stone.

The purple source stone tumbled in the mist.

Refining a Zi Yuan Stone doesn't require fire, it can be done purely with true essence. This requires both powerful cultivation and precise control over every change within the Zi Yuan Stone. Furthermore, it relies on past experience and meticulous analysis of the Zi Yuan Stone to extract the Zixiao Divine Iron thread by thread, without being contaminated by impurities.

Ruan and Luo, the steward and butler, held their breath as they watched streaks of murky qi disperse from the mist. The purple source stone gradually shrank, but its brilliance grew even purer. They couldn't help but express their awe.

Finally, the fist-sized zyu source stone was reduced to the size of a fingernail, like a piece of the purest amethyst, radiating purple light.

"Elder Qin is truly amazing! I am in awe of your skills!"

Luo, the steward, stepped forward, his expression even more respectful. "This piece of Zijiao divine iron is a gift from the master to Elder Qin. Please wait a moment, Elder Qin. I'll go back and ask the master to come personally. However, the master was injured recently due to an incident and is currently healing with a secret technique. If there is anything disrespectful, please forgive him."

Saying that, Luo Butler bowed and retired. Shortly after, he personally drove a carriage to the gate of the Five Elements Alliance.

The carriage was pulled by a creature of otherworldly origin, a spirit horse. In Yumen Pass, all sorts of peculiar spirit beasts could be seen everywhere, yet they were not remarkable sights. Only those with sufficiently keen spiritual awareness could faintly detect the aura of the spirit horse and carriage as being somewhat unusual. Just as they were about to take a closer look, the carriage was invited inside by Mr. Ruan.

A carriage rolled into Qin Sang's courtyard. Luo, the steward, lightened his step and landed beside the carriage, whispering softly, "Young master, this is Elder Qin from the Wu Xing Alliance."

Then, Qin Sang sat in the courtyard again, fiddling with the Zi Xiao Divine Iron. He bowed respectfully and was about to speak when the curtains of the carriage trembled slightly.

"My surname is Xin, and my given name is Ge. I am a disciple of Elder Qin. Due to illness, I was forced to use a family secret technique, which has left me with impaired mobility and an unusual appearance. I am unable to appear in public openly, and for this disrespect, I apologize to Elder Qin."

Qin Sang raised his eyes to look at the carriage.

The carriage faced him, a thin curtain separating them. It seemed as though he could see through the gaps and into the carriage, but he could only sense a vague aura, unable to determine the cultivation level of this young master Xin.

The other party's voice was very hoarse, indeed lacking in breath. It is unclear whether this was real or feigned.

Looking at the horses pulling the carriage, they were clearly transformed beings. It can be seen that the carriage itself must be a treasure, able to block the spiritual awareness of cultivators in the refining emptiness stage.

Of course, Qin Sang didn't use his divine sense to forcefully attack, otherwise he might not have been able to withstand it. But in that case, it would be impossible to talk calmly and peacefully.

Of course Qin Sang wouldn't blindly trust the other party's words. Luo Guan and Xin Shao Zhu's actions gave Qin Sang a feeling that they were deliberately hiding something. The two people's identities might not be true. Could they be evading someone

However, it was extremely rare for a master craftsman to be summoned to Fengjuyu Gate to forge treasures. Qin Sang had long anticipated that there might be some hidden motives behind this request.

He has always valued practicality over formality, and since the other party's words were sincere, he didn't dwell on it. He placed the Zi Xiao Divine Iron on the table, sat in his original position, and said calmly, "You have all seen my abilities. Since Young Master Xin has come here himself, you must be sincere. Just get to the point."

"Yes!"

Xin Shaozu was silent for a moment, as if organizing his words, "This is a major matter. Before we reach our destination, we cannot reveal the exact location to anyone else. We can only tell Elder Qin that it's a small thousand world inside Fengjuyu Gate..."

Ten days later.

A nondescript carriage drove out of Yumenguan, gradually swallowed by the wind and sand.

At the city wall, several pairs of malicious and veiled eyes were fixed on the carriage.

The carriage had just disappeared into the sandstorm, and several figures quietly emerged from behind, trying to follow it.

Unexpectedly, they pursued for a while, but the carriage ahead had vanished without a trace. The group of individuals from different factions eventually lost their target and stood in the desolate desert, staring at each other with wide eyes.

This is a test sentence.

"Elder Qin, should we deal with those fellows"

On a hilltop, Qin Sang, who had already left the city, stood there. Behind him were more than ten people.

Among the dozen or so people, there were cultivators of the Nascent Soul stage and even Divine Transformation stage. Each person had a fierce expression and an aura of ferocity, they were clearly members of the Hengsha Sect.

The interior of Fengjumen varies in danger depending on the location. The outer areas can be explored independently even by Yuan Ying cultivators, but venturing deeper requires a team led by a Huashen cultivator.

Among them were six cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage. The one who spoke was their leader, named Quzhen, a cultivator in the late stage of the Transformation God realm. Those Nascent Soul cultivators were also shrewd and capable; they were a formidable force wherever they went.

"No need," Qin Sang looked up at the sky.

A dragon and phoenix palanquin is dashing through the air.

Leaving Yumenguan, the carriage finally revealed its true power, pulling it were eight dragon-phoenix horses instead of ordinary horses.

The four dragons and four phoenixes were extraordinary, and the carriage's structure had also changed. Besides the independent quiet room opened by Young Master Xin, a spacious hall supported by dozens of dragon-phoenix stone pillars emerged. Outside were silk curtains, and inside was a jade table filled with nectar and fairy fruits.

"Elder Qin, fellow cultivators, please come up. Riding the treasure carriage will save you some effort," Xin Shao invited.

Qin Sang wasn't polite either. He, along with Qu Zhen and the others, boarded the dragon-phoenix palanquin and each found a jade table to sit down at.

The dragon and phoenix carriage shuddered, having just set off. Qin Sang's gaze instantly sharpened, fixed on the north.

In the depths of wind and sand, a blue rainbow pierced through the air at incredible speed. It was a swordsman, who seemed to have sensed Qin Sang's aura. The blue rainbow paused slightly, but did not come over. Soon, it resumed its speed and flew towards Yu Men Guan.

Qú Zhēn and the others only sensed a flash of sharp sword intent in the distance, but they were unaware of the subtle changes. Qin Sang secretly observed Luò Guānjī, seeing that he appeared calm and warmly greeted Qú Zhēn and the others, seemingly unaware as well.

>

If Master Xin were also a cultivator of the Realm of Refinement, he would certainly have noticed the sword cultivator's actions.

Up until now, Qin Sang had only ever met two members of the Xin family.

"Didn't Young Master Xin say that the other members of the Xin family were arranged outside the city When will they come to meet up" Qin Sang looked around and asked.

"They all entered the city, their targets were too big and easy to be targeted by malicious people. So they all lay in wait outside the city, going to Fengju Yu Men in batches. Steward Luo has sent out talismans, he will arrive before they enter. Elder Qin, rest assured, after entering Fengju Yu Men, I will immediately order them to obey Elder Qin's orders and help Elder Qin find the Earth Flower Jade Vine," explained Young Master Xin."

This is one of the conditions for cooperation between the two parties. In addition, Qin Sang also asked the other party to share information about Feng Ju Yu Men's internal affairs. Other rewards have not yet been decided.

As for the conditions of hiring the Sand Corps, it is to help Zhen and others reforge a treasure. The degree of refinement depends on their contributions.

Eight heads transformed into dragons and phoenixes, pulling the chariot with all their might. The chariot sped through the wind and sand, heading northwest.

After flying for over ten days without stopping, they discovered several towns of varying sizes along the way.

That evening, as they were racing along, she truly stepped forward and said: "Elder Qin, ahead is Huashan Town. I know an all-knowing person who lives there. Once something major happens at Fengju Yumeng, this person always gets the news first."

"Let Luo Butler accompany you down," Qin Sang instructed.

"Yes!"

Two men received their orders and got off the chariot. The chariot waited in the sky, and after two hours, the two men returned, reporting what they had learned.

Fengjuyu Gate remains as usual, with no noteworthy events occurring. You can proceed there with peace of mind.

Near the Fengju Yumen Pass, Qin Sang faintly sensed that heaven and earth seemed to be constantly trembling, even affecting people's minds.

The wind and sand grew fiercer, with occasional surges of spiritual energy whooshing past.

The vast expanse of the Jade Gate was unusually wide, and there were specific considerations for which location to enter from. As the dragon-phoenix palanquins carried them northward continuously, it was evident that the Xin family's target was a location further north.

However, it is rumored that Fengjuyu Gate faces the Witch Clan to the west and enters the desolate lands to the north. It would take them ten days of flight to reach even the northernmost point of Fengjuyu Gate, and they might encounter danger along the way and perish.

On the twentieth day, as Qin Sang was closing his eyes and resting on a carriage, he suddenly changed color. He straightened up abruptly, as if he had discovered something unusual. He stared intently at the north, his eyes blazing with sharp light.

All the people on the carriage immediately noticed Qin Sang's abnormality. Following Qin Sang's gaze, they only saw endless yellow sand and dust, their hearts tightening involuntarily, thinking that danger was approaching.

"Whoosh!"

Qin Sang's figure flickered, and he vanished from the Luan carriage in an instant, disappearing without a trace.

The reins on the dragon and phoenix chariot suddenly tightened, and Shao Xin stopped the chariot.

At this moment, everyone faintly sensed several auras from the north pursuing them. It seemed like a group of people were chasing another, and the highest cultivation level among them was only in the Divine Transformation Stage.

Everyone looked at each other in surprise. A female cultivator whispered, "Among those being chased, could there be a descendant of Elder Qin"

It wasn't the first time he had seen people fighting, Elder Qin had never paid attention to it.

He truly shook his head, pointing out all the Nascent Soul cultivators as they flew past.

"Young master, we..." Luo Guanta hesitated.

"Wait!"

Here's the translation without the HTML tags:> Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Young Master Xin only uttered one word.

Meanwhile.

In the midst of wind and sand, three streaks of light were chasing each other, seeming as though the last two were working together to hunt down the one ahead.

All three were cultivators of the Nascent Soul stage, while the pursuers were two men in black robes. The man ahead had a disordered aura and was already injured.

This person was a woman, with a jade knife in her hand that flew up and down, incredibly agile, she continuously parried the opponent's attacks.

The woman, however, was full of anxiety. Every pursuer's cultivation surpassed hers. If it weren't for the jade sword at her side, she would have already been defeated. Now, she was tightly stuck by them, with no chance to escape. She would eventually exhaust herself and die.

“Bang!”

>

An ice arrow was deflected by the jade knife, shattering into pieces.

A man in black robe remained unfazed, instead wearing a greedy expression. "Unexpected harvest this time," he said, "a small cultivator at the early stage of Nascent Soul actually possesses a blade about to transform into a Spirit Treasure!"

“Seize this sword, and soon our brothers will have a spiritual treasure too,” the other man licked his lips with a lascivious grin, “This little vixen isn't bad looking either. She's a top-notch cauldron, pity there's only one, so our brothers can only take turns enjoying her!”

"Hahaha..."

The two laughed wildly without restraint, using words to shock the woman's mind.

None of the three noticed a figure silently appearing before them.

Qin Sang stared at the woman, or more precisely, at the jade sword by her side.

Though the jade knife is vastly different from what it once was, it was forged by his hand. Within its blade, a familiar aura still lingers to this day.

'Whoosh!'

Qin Sang raised his right hand, and the jade knife suddenly flew from the woman, coming towards him automatically.

The woman also saw Qin Sang and discovered that the jade knife was completely out of her control. In an instant, her blood almost solidified, and her eyes were filled with fear.

Qin Sang gently stroked the jade sword, as if talking to an old friend or reminiscing about the past. Looking at the woman's terrified face, he asked softly, "Ice Flame Sect Master of Xu Ling Pai, who are you"
