u. With his sword qi and thunderous sounds, his escape techniques could now easily surpass those of ordinary Jindan stage cultivators in the middle period.When facing danger, his ability to escape wil...Sizhou.

Liuzhou Hall.

Qin Sang held a jade cup in his hand, gazing at the river flowing eastward outside the window, his thoughts drifting.

At this moment, the door creaked open and the manager walked in, returning the token to Qin Sang. "I've found out, Daoist friend. Your friend left the token at Zhuozhou Fudao County seven years ago. For more detailed information, we'll need some time. We'll contact the branch in Zhuozhou and wait for their reply."

Zhumadian.

one of the four states in northern China.

The Four States of the North are roughly distributed in a rhombus shape.

Zezhou is located in the northwest, bordering Sezhou, and of course, it also borders Beihhuang. Qin Sang and Zhou Jin walked out of Beihhuang and arrived at Zezhou for the first time.

However, in the nineteen states shrouded in smoke and rain, the northernmost state is actually Zhaoyao State. Its name originates from Mount Zhaoyao, a renowned mountain whose range stretches across most of the northern lands of four states. It also serves as one of the prominent dividing lines between the Central Plains and the Northern Wilderness.

Situated in the eastern part of the Four States, Jinyu Prefecture, as a coastal prefecture, has always been bustling with trade and is considered the most prosperous prefecture among the Four States. It is also known as "Little Jiangnan of Northern Territory."

Jinyu Prefecture is home to the renowned Great Jin Family, known throughout the Central Plains for its wealth. The family's name and that of the prefecture itself share a striking similarity, prompting one to wonder about their shared origins. However, the details of their connection remain lost to history.

Zhuozhou is located in the southernmost part of the four states of Beidi, and it's closest to the six states of Jiangzuo. Although it's not as prosperous as the six states of Jiangzuo, it's still one of the Nineteen States of Smoke and Rain, which makes it stronger than Ximo and Beihuang.

Even in the most prosperous places, there are inevitably impoverished and desolate areas.

Floating County is one of them.

However, this is precisely the superior Daoist temple mentioned by Xiao Xiangzi, and Qin Sang had previously instructed Zhou Jin to thoroughly investigate it.

Seven years ago, Zhou Jin entered Fudao County. In the following seven years, he did not move. Either something unexpected happened or he discovered a clue and is currently investigating it.

Qin Sang seemed thoughtful, rose and said her thanks, just about to walk out of the quiet room, her steps paused slightly, she turned back and asked, "Recently, has there been any major event in the Central Plains"

The official smiled and replied, "The world is peaceful and the rivers and lakes are calm."

“Peace is hard to come by…”

Qin Sang nodded lightly and walked out of Liuzhou Hall.

The Tiansuo River originates in the Xueling Mountains, flows through Sezhou, and connects to the Dazze wetland of Zhezhou.

In Zezhou, a major river branched off and flowed southwards before turning east. It traversed the Six Prefectures of Jiangzuo and ultimately emptied into the East Sea.

Some people consider these two sections to be parts of the same great river, but as times changed, they came to have different names. The upper section remains Tian Tuo River, while the lower section is called Fu River.

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

The Six Prefectures of Jiangzuo are situated on both banks of the Fu River.

"Sir, we have arrived at the county town."

>

There came the voice of the second mate from outside the cabin.

In the Four States of the North, traveling by water was the most convenient way. Although it wasn't as fast as Qin Sang's escapism, it was less strenuous and wouldn't attract attention.

>Traveling by boat, we passed through Zezhou and took a detour along a tributary of Fujiang River. We smoothly arrived at Zhuozhou Fudao County City.

>

Qin Sang woke up and looked at his avatar who was sitting opposite him.

An outer avatar, with hands clasped and resting on the knees, palms facing upwards. Above each palm hovers the Four-Times Teng Snake Seal, radiating a faint chill.

The light and ripples of the Lingbao were all confined within the tiny cabin by Qin Sang's spirit array.

Along the way, Qin Sang assisted his avatar in cultivating the "Tongbao Jue" and refining spiritual treasures.

>

Since setting out from the North Sea, his avatar has been trying to cultivate the "Ice Soul Divine Light" technique, but with little success. Qin Sang simply had his avatar stop cultivating divine abilities and focus on refining spiritual treasures instead, aiming to master a powerful technique as soon as possible.

Get up and open the window.

Qin Sang stood by the window with his hands behind his back, unable to see the Western Desert anymore.

The sunlight streamed into the cabin and fell on his face.

As on that day, golden clouds filled the sky.

After Liuli left, whenever Qin Sang saw such a scene, she would think of the figure that disappeared into the sunset.

He could understand LiuLi, because if he were in her shoes, he would make the same choice.

So, he wouldn't dissuade him.

Only silently offer blessings, and steadfastly seek one's own path. The future will always have a time to meet again.

When refining the Buddha's bone relics, Qin Sang persisted for a long time, and the benefits he received were also the greatest.

>

He had a premonition that breaking through the bottleneck would be much easier in the future. Coupled with the double-fold enhancement of talent by his killing move and the cleansing pool, he could reach the later stage of Nascent Soul anytime soon.

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

The only thing left to do is to find a peaceful monastery and practice diligently until you break through!

As for the avatars, both Kan Shenzhu have been refined and are solely used to enhance cultivation. It's estimated that they will hit a bottleneck in the later stages sooner than the main body. But breaking through won't be easy.

Qin Sang didn't expect to have an avatar of the same realm at the same time as he broke through to the later stage.

He had a plan.

After this, he would stay in his cave dwelling to cultivate diligently, prioritizing the Dao. When his avatar had mastered the Tōngbǎo Jué, it would venture out and travel throughout Zhōngzhōu, searching for various clues.

For this reason, Qin Sang has always been thinking about how to strengthen the main body's control over the avatar, preventing the avatar from giving birth to demonic thoughts and backlashing against itself.

When the avatar and the main body are too far apart, if any accident occurs, it's impossible to respond in time. In a severe case, they could even be controlled by powerful enemies, leading to eternal ruin.

>

Of course, an avatar wielding a divine treasure wouldn't be so easily captured, unless they provoked a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage. However, Qin Sang's purpose was merely to investigate information and he wouldn't easily make enemies.

During his time on the boat, Qin Sang was mostly busy with this matter. He carefully studied the various magical techniques and secrets he had obtained from Xuan Tian Gong before, and it showed results. His external avatar only needed to return to the cave dwelling every once in a while, and the second Yuanying returned to its main body. His mind and spirit would then return to harmony.

In total, there's quite a bit to do.

Through the channels of Liuzhou Tang, no news about the Ghost Mother's whereabouts was found. Qin Sang retreated and asked if there were any Wu Clan cultivators in Zhongzhou.

If the Ghost Mother safely reaches Zhongzhou, she will certainly be looking for the Witch Clan.

Liuzhou Tang truly had vast magical powers, finding several ancient books and uncovering some records about the Witch Clan. Unfortunately, they were all vague and unsubstantiated legends from the ancient times.

At least there are no Witch Clans in mainland China.

As for overseas, the reach of Liuzhou Hall extends beyond.

The ship docks.

The hull was shaking.

Qin Sang retracted his incarnation and stepped off the boat.

In the distance, green hills stand like paintings, while the pier is bustling with people. Peddlers, travelers, boatmen, and merchants come and go endlessly.

Qin Sang squeezed into the crowd, appearing crowded but in reality, not a single leaf touched his body. He kept a certain distance from the people around him, and ordinary people couldn't detect anything unusual.

After entering the city, Qin Sang sensed the aura of cultivators within the government office as he passed by.

This is the biggest difference between Zhongzhou and other places. The walled cities and county towns of Zhongzhou not only serve as gathering places for cultivators, but also shoulder the responsibility of governing and educating the common people. Moreover, they are run by cultivators who hold the position of Fu Zun, preventing mortals from establishing their own dynasties and ruling independently.

Whether or not cultivators in Zhongzhou truly value mortals, Qin Sang doesn't know.

But he knew that with these Immortal cultivators' sects stationed everywhere, free cultivators and small factions would be greatly restricted, daring not to act recklessly anymore. Every move they made had to be within the rules, acting cautiously.

Even in a remote place like Fudu County, there is actually a Foundation Establishment stage Manor Lord. It's no surprise that this person should come from Bu Nianshan, the first largest sect in Zhuozhou.

Qin Sang didn't visit the mansion owner. He quietly entered the market area and found a small courtyard. Fudao County was too remote to be within the reach of the Liuzhou Hall, so they only set up a base in the county seat for contact purposes. However, the courtyard was elegant and charming, located in the heart of the market area, showing their wealth and generosity.

I met the manager of Liuzhou Hall in the courtyard.

Qin Sang took out the token and made his intentions clear.

Manager Shi paid his respects and immediately went back into the inner hall to retrieve the other half of the token. After verifying its authenticity, he bowed and said: “The friend your Daoist companion mentioned did not leave any other messages. However, he comes to my place once every year. This has been the case for seven years now. Counting down, there are less than two months until his next visit. Senior if you don't mind our humble courtyard, you can choose a nice room...”

>

It seems Zhou Jin didn't turn out as expected and was held back by something.

Upon seeing him, the truth will become clear.

Qin Sang nodded and tossed a bag of spirit stones to the manager, "This poor Dao has some things I need to ask you."

The manager nodded his spirit stone, a smile plastered across his face. "Senior, please speak, the junior will certainly know no secrets."

Qin Sang was just about to speak when his expression changed slightly, and he let out a soft cry of surprise.

Then, Qin Sang apologized to the steward. He rose to his feet, hurried out of the courtyard, and disappeared outside the county city in a few flashes.

When the officials came looking, there was no sign of Qin Sang on the street.

The foreman shook his head, puzzled. “That’s strange!”

After leaving the county town, Qin Sang looked left and right, chose a direction, and hurried away. In a short while, she entered the deep mountains and old forests, and people gradually became scarce.

At the same time, he reached into his spirit beast bag and pulled out a fat worm from it.

After devouring the amber worm crystal, the fat silkworm was fatter than before.

Over the years, the fat silkworm had been sleeping silently within the dumb gourd. Finally awakening, it kept rolling in Qin Sang's palm, letting out whimpers as if enduring immense pain.

Circles of multicolored aura constantly emanate from the fat silkworm, extremely unstable.

This aura...

It seems like metamorphosis!

The Fat Silkworm, having exhausted its essence to make a deal with the Corrupted Phosphorus Firefly King, fell into weakness. Qin Sang thought that the Fat Silkworm needed time to recuperate before it could recover.

It's definitely going to take time to refine the Insect Crystal, even hundreds of years wouldn't be surprising. I didn't expect it to break through so quickly.

What's even weirder is that Qin Sang felt like this guy was about to attract a tribulation, directly crossing it!

Why is there no process of spinning a cocoon

Qin Sang recalled the process of Fat Silkworm's previous two moltings. Each time, it had to first spin its own cocoon and sleep for at least several years before it could complete the transformation.

This time, however, an unexpected event occurred.

Could it be that the poisonous pill consumed by the fat silkworm before swallowing the frog fish was already on the verge of breaking through, just one step away from success During its journey through the storm belt, it slumbered within the mute's body, effectively equivalent to spinning a cocoon

Qin Sang pondered silently, it seemed like there was only this explanation.

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

After the fusion of Feicang and Yaigu in Qisha Dian, both parties underwent unknown changes.

...Chirp chirp...

The cry of the silkworm pulled Qin Sang back from his contemplation.

Qin Sang urged his divine sense, scanning the fat silkworm's entire body. He saw that the creature was in relatively good condition and suspected that it hadn't completely absorbed the amber worm crystal before undergoing metamorphosis.

Therefore, it can be seen that amber insect crystal is indeed a treasure.

It's always good to be able to transform. The fire jade centipede was still stuffing its belly with fire-melting pills, but there were no signs of it transforming.

However, Qin Sang was a little worried. This fat silkworm was so useless, only knowing how to detoxify, could it withstand the thunder tribulation He wasn't the fat silkworm's master, he could only use a spirit formation to weaken the thunder for it.

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

Many thoughts are useless. Qin Sang scattered his divine sense, rushing towards a desolate and remote area where few people ventured, so as to avoid the unknown impact that the heavenly tribulation might bring.

Just then, the fat silkworm exhibited new changes.

The seven-colored halo on its body stopped expanding and began to shrink, eventually converging into a seven-colored orb. The fat silkworm forcibly raised its head and swallowed the orb in one gulp.

Immediately, a new seven-colored aura flowed out from within his body.

It seems it can't control its own power anymore.

Then Qin Sang discovered that the new multicolored aura was much more solid than before, and soon covered the fat silkworm in a thick layer.

If previous armor was just a thin layer, now it's the real deal!

"Every spirit insect has its own way of protecting itself."

Qin Sang pondered silently.

After the formation of the Poison-Proof Armor, the aura of Heavenly Tribulation on the fat silkworm became even more intense. Clouds of tribulation began to gather in the air.

Qin Sang looked up and sensed the heavenly tribulation.

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

As expected, the power of the Heavenly Tribulation was not strong, much like when the Sky-Gazing Butterfly faced it back then.

As the celestial tribulation approached, Qin Sang looked around and swiftly flew to the peak. Glancing down, he saw that the fat silkworm was completely enveloped by a thick layer of seven-colored light, forming a cocoon-like structure.

As Qin Sang placed the fat silkworm on the ground, she began to bustle about. Her Qianjun Bell continuously flashed, shooting out pieces of golden talismans the size of palms.

Before his departure, he prepared for the sudden tribulation of the fat silkworm and took some precautions.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of golden talismans were assembled into a great formation, merging into the void.

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

‘Boom boom boom!’

Dark clouds gathered, and thunder boomed through the heavens.

In the mountains and forests, birds and beasts were startled.

Qin Sang swiftly completed the last seal, then retreated. As soon as he reached a nearby mountain, a blinding light filled his vision, and a streak of silver lightning descended from the sky.

The sun dimmed.

'Click!'

The bolt of lightning struck straight and true, hitting the fat silkworm.

As they traversed the Jin Ling Grand Formation, strands of gold thread were woven into a net. However, due to the unique nature of the heavenly tribulation, imbued with the might of Heaven's Dao, even the most intricate formations could not completely block it.

The thunderous strike pierced through the formation, its immense power crashing down upon the plump caterpillar!

'Boom!'

>

The earth cracked and split apart.

The hill where the fat silkworm was located was directly leveled, with massive rocks rolling down the cliff.

After a bolt of lightning struck, the dark clouds gradually dissipated.

Qin Sang hurriedly flew over. With a sweep of his divine sense, he found a fat silkworm in a stone crevice. He flashed past and took it into his hand. After a brief examination, he showed a look of surprise.

After being struck by lightning, the silkworm's cocoon seemed to have suffered no damage. Perhaps it was too sturdy, or its recovery was simply too fast.

“Click!”

The silkworm cocoon split open, and a fat silkworm poked its head out. It had no visible injuries, just an air of fatigue about it.

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

With a sucking sound, it swallowed the colorful aura into its belly. The fat silkworm rubbed against Qin Sang's finger and swayed its plump body, ready to go back to sleep.

Qin Sang would certainly not let it go so easily. He moved quickly, trying his best to erase all traces of himself and disappear. Then, he pinched the fat silkworm in his fingers, brought it to his face, and ordered it to display a new supernatural ability.

He had been living with the silkworm for a long time, and though they hadn't reached the point of understanding each other perfectly, he could at least get the silkworm to understand simple commands.

The fat silkworm swayed its head and opened its mouth, spitting out a familiar rainbow halo that transformed into a Detox Armor, enveloping Qin Sang.

Besides being a bit thicker, it feels like it offers stronger protection. Other than that, there don't seem to be any other changes.

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

Two pairs of eyes stared at each other.

Qin Sang remained expressionless.

The fat silkworm had a look of innocence on its face.
