rusted weapons—the Binding Spirit Rope."Whoosh!"The Spirit Shackle turned into a streak of green, incredibly agile, about to fly into the mire and bind the man, when suddenly a strange light shot out...Time flies.
Fifty years have flowed by.
In the ethereal realm of Qingxu, there has always been a region shrouded in mist. Apart from Qin Sang's avatar who enters it every decade or so, no one else is allowed to enter.
...including Xie Qian and Xie An, disciples of the Xie family, entered the Qixu Fantasy Realm for cultivation. Though curious about this mysterious place, they only dared to steal glances, not daring to overstep in any way. They walked in an orderly fashion along the small forest path, entering the wooden houses prepared for them...
Unbothered, I cultivate in peace, my cultivation steadily improving.
From the advanced Nascent Soul stage to this retreat, excluding the thirty-seven years in the storm belt, there were also several decades in between. Every time Qin Sang had time, he would seize every opportunity to cultivate, but various affairs always distracted his energy, making it impossible for him to practice with peace of mind and limiting his progress.
Compared to before, the benefits of refining relics are obvious.
A long journey from afar to Zhongzhou is definitely worth it.

During his seclusion, Qin Sang hardly encountered any major difficulties that had plagued him for decades. Even when he hit a bottleneck, as long as he patiently pondered for a while, or temporarily stopped practicing his techniques and instead cultivated the "Seed of Fire Lotus" to shift his mindset, he could successfully break through upon returning to his practice.
Unless something unexpected happens, in another thirty to forty years, his cultivation level will reach the peak of the Yuan Ying mid-stage, and he will be ready to break through.
Thanks to the seven sword talismans of his natal spirit sword and the cleansing pool.
At most, the true time for silent meditation is only about a hundred years. Even with heaven-gifted roots, a genius is still just that—a genius with the prerequisite of receiving an opportunity akin to the empowerment from Buddha relics. Otherwise, being stuck at a bottleneck for hundreds of years is commonplace.

The bottleneck of the Yuan Ying later stage is estimated to not be as easy as before.
But Qin Sang was full of confidence!
I wonder if there's a chance to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage before the first tribulation arrives.
Throughout the entire cultivation world, those who can achieve this are undoubtedly peerless geniuses.
The fat silkworm and the mute woman who retreated with me into seclusion did not undergo much change.
As for her own beloved insect, the Tianmu Butterfly, Qin Sang hadn't even found the best breeding method yet. She couldn't help the fat silkworm; all she could do was feed it a Myriad Spirit Fruit.

After the fourth molt, the fat silkworm could clearly feel that the chrysalis was getting better and better, but it was still a long way from waking up.
The Tianmu Butterfly has also improved, but it can't keep up with the master's speed.

Qin Sang not only used the Blood Feeding Method learned from the Wuzhu clan, but also combined the Gu Controlling Techniques he had collected in Beihai before, as well as the Zhongzhou Inheritance Techniques purchased by his avatars through various channels over the years. He cross-referenced and summarized them, creating a unique cultivation method of his own.
The cultivation speed of the Heavenly Eye Butterfly was indeed faster, but it was definitely not as fast as the secret arts of the Witch Clan.
The deity is in seclusion.
Manifest in plain sight.
The name of Qing Feng Dao Chang, the ancestor of the Xie family, gradually became known to various forces in Zhuozhou.
Back then, Qin Sang and Cheng Huanzi fought once. Qin Sang only used swordsmanship to defeat Cheng Huanzi completely.
In the beginning years, this news spread like wildfire. Many people were curious about Qingfeng Daochang's magical powers, as he was a close friend of Qin Sang, and they anticipated a showdown between the Xie family and Liu Xu Men.
To the disappointment of outsiders, both parties were very restrained.
Members of the Xie family have always only operated within the borders of Fudao County, seemingly forgetting about the half of Hongping County they won in a gambling match. In reality, it is still controlled by the Liu Xu Men.
At first, the Six Void Gates were very wary. Seeing that the Xie family only operated in Floating Pass County and did not show too much ambition, they did not know how to take action against them.
...each living in peace and harmony, the Xie family developing steadily, which is exactly what Qin Sang wanted to see.
Qin Sang wrongfully occupied Xie's cave dwelling.
Even Xie Family Ancestor's role as a stand-in was quite responsible.
Not only did she personally heal Xie An's wounds, but she would also set up a dharma altar at the Xie family home every once in a while to give lectures. Though the content was very basic, it was exactly what the Xie family children needed.
>
Now, there is a talented junior in the Xie family who has successfully formed his core. However, he is still far from reaching the Nascent Soul stage, and many things still require Qin Sang's personal attention.
Whenever Qin Sang lectured, Zhou Jin would bring his family to listen.
According to Qin Sang's prescription, a pill was refined and given to Ruan Yu. It successfully cured her chronic illness, and her cultivation level made rapid progress.
Zhou Jin was deeply grateful to Qin Sang, often regarding himself as Qin Sang's named disciple. Loutai Guan and the Xie family also had a close relationship.
With these two factions under his command, he was powerful enough.
Qin Sang knew that he was new here, his foundation was shallow, and establishing a school was not something that could be done overnight. He didn't plan to recruit many disciples in the Central Plains, and still focused on his own cultivation.

The progress of "Ice Soul Divine Light" was unsatisfactory, and the avatar spent most of the time on "Compendium of Treasures".
The cultivation of progressed smoothly, reaching a certain level of proficiency. His avatar could already manipulate the Four-Headed Serpent Seal to attack enemies.

Although the complete Tōngbǎo Jué was obtained, it was not as compatible with Liuli as before. However, its power was stronger than when it was in Tóng Língyù's hands.
Through the 通寶訣, you can control 靈寶, and it won't directly drain its master like the 太陽神樹. Its advantage lies in its flexibility, making it more convenient to use than the 太陽神樹.
Apart from cultivation, Qin Sang also did not forget the mission he came to Zhongzhou for this time.
The Incarnation wasn't always staying in the ethereal realm of Qingxu. From time to time, it would leave the realm, make friends with other cultivators, and even personally visit Lu Zhang at Mount Bu Nian, experiencing the grandeur of a super sect in Zhongzhou.
Through a recommendation, I met several Yuan Ying cultivators who don't revere mountains.
In addition, the avatar also proactively contacted several top-tier trade guilds, including Liu Zhutang, and commissioned them to inquire about the Ghost Mother's whereabouts.
There are many cultivators in Zhongzhou who are known as the Ghost Mother, but that's not what Qin Sang is looking for.
This was somewhat beyond Qin Sang's expectations.
According to common sense, the Ghost Mother is also new to Zhongzhou and has no grievances or ties with the Zhongzhou forces. There is no need to hide her identity. As long as she comes out to move around, she will definitely leave some traces.
Qin Sang even began to suspect that Guimǔ might have been unfortunately attacked by a ferocious beast while traversing the storm belt, suffering serious injuries or even falling.
On the bright side, she's probably healing somewhere right now.
Unable to find the Ghost Mother, Qin Sang couldn't just sit around and wait. After careful consideration, he selected some information that might interest the Ghost Mother and actively spread it outwards, waiting for her to follow the trail.
After being rescued from the water dungeon by Tan Hao, Gui Mu did not betray him. Although she couldn't save Tan Jie, she had done her best and even helped Tan Hao obtain the chance to become a nascent infant. At least, she wasn't entirely evil.
Unless the Ghost Mother has already advanced to the level of a deity, Qin Sang and his incarnation, wielding two spiritual treasures together, would not fear her turning against them.
As for the Tiantong Hall and Xiangtang Hall, there was no progress either.
Before meeting Lü Zhanyi, Qin Sang had a hunch that these two celestial palaces in Zhongzhou probably held extraordinary secrets, otherwise, why would they be sealed off so tightly.
During the subsequent investigation, Qin Sang was cautious and proceeded step by step, avoiding revealing his true purpose.
When this deity returns from seclusion and advances to the late Nascent Soul stage, it will not be too late to conduct a large-scale investigation.
A realm of ethereal purity.
Qin Sang's incarnation was also in meditation.
Before the Ice Godlight is fully refined, his avatar relies only on its spirit treasure as a trump card. His methods against enemies are not abundant enough in his usual state. Qin Sang plans to continue improving his avatar's cultivation before considering going out to travel.
In the morning, Mount Pushan is a flourishing sight.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Xie family disciples either soared through the clouds or stood atop mountains, basking in the morning sun and absorbing the purple qi.
It was Xie's turn to handle mundane affairs outside.
Looking at these energetic younger generations, Xie Qian couldn't help but smile with anticipation. His anticipation was for the future of the Xie family.
He is nearing the end of his life.
In the ethereal realm of cultivation, under Qin Sang's guidance, his cultivation had progressed. However, due to the limitations of his lifespan, he had already lost the chance to form an infant soul.
Before his death, Xie Qin was able to see the Xie family rise again, and he felt content. He believed that he had not lived in vain and would not shame the ancestors of the Xie family who were buried beneath the earth.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Xie Jiashu.
Everything today, is given by Him!
Is this person truly the ancestor of the Xie family
Xie Qin had no doubts about this, because he never thought about it.
>
Just as he was about to return to the hall, Xie Qian suddenly noticed that beneath the orange-red sunrise, there seemed to be a cloud drifting towards Mount Pu.
The sky is clear and bright, with wispy clouds in the air.
Only this cloud mass condensed and did not disperse, moving with great speed.
Xie Qian stared intently, realizing that the clouds were actually white. Thinking of a person, she immediately withdrew her relaxed expression, urged her true essence, and her voice echoed throughout Pushan: "Everyone return to your cave dwellings immediately. No one is allowed to leave without permission!"
The Xie family disciples were in an uproar, but dared not disobey their ancestor's command. In the blink of an eye, the mountain was deserted.
Xie Qian then cast an invisibility spell and hurried into the Qingxu Illusory Realm to report, "Ancestor, Elder Lu Chang of the Unthinking Mountain has arrived."
Beyond Mount Pu.
On the white clouds, two figures stood side by side.
Among them was Lü Zhang.
The other person, however, was a monk in saffron robes.
The monk had a majestic appearance, with thick eyebrows and large eyes, ears like wheels. He looked quite like a Buddha statue. He didn't seem to be over twenty years old, but the aura he radiated was extremely powerful, not inferior to Lu Zhang at all.
The monk stood on the cloud head, his eyes half-closed, twisting a string of beads in one hand, muttering to himself, it was unclear whether he was reciting scriptures or doing something else.
>
Lu Zhang did not disturb the monk, remaining silent until he saw Pushan. He raised his hand and pointed: "Master Xiao Xing Chan, ahead is Pushan."
>
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Xiaoxing Zen Master’s movements paused, he put down his palm and looked intently. His gaze swept over Pushan, a hint of doubt appearing in his eyes.
Lu Zhang saw through it, smiled slightly, and made a witty remark, “Could a Zen master also be deceived by appearances”
"Amitabha Buddha."
Xiao Xing Chan master recited the Buddha's name, "The mountain is not high! I believe there must be another world in the mountains, capable of keeping the wind and Taoist friends."
Lu Zhang nodded, "Master Zen, rest assured, Daoist Qingfeng's cultivation is not inferior to ours, and Daoist Qin is even more extraordinary, unmatched by cultivators of the same rank. He must be someone important. Finding them is definitely the right choice. Look, Daoist Qingfeng already knows of our visit..."
Please note that the provided content was empty. I have simply returned an empty paragraph tag as requested.
Before the words could even fall, the mystical light of the Hushan Grand Formation parted to the sides, and a figure emerged from outside the mountain.

Lu Zhangyang said loudly, "Daoist Qingfeng, we have come uninvited, hoping not to disturb your cultivation."
"As what Daoist Lu said…"
Qin Sang and Lü Zhang were already very familiar with each other, they laughed and shook their heads, having long noticed the monk beside Lü Zhang, "Who is this high monk"
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
"The poor monk's dharma name is Xiao Xing."
Xiao Xing Chan Master stepped forward, "Greetings, Daoist Qingfeng."
But what about Xiaoxing Zen Master of Ganlu Chan Monastery
Qin Sang was slightly startled, and inwardly felt a chill.
In the Central Plains for many years, Qin Sang had already inquired about the major super forces in the Central Plains, and he would never be unfamiliar with the Ganlu Chan Institute.
There is a Nascent Soul cultivator, the Holy Light, in the Ganlu Zen Temple of this world!
Gaanlu Zen Temple is located in Liujiao Prefecture, the wealthiest region in the world.
In the Six Prefectures of Jiangzuo, there was also a Taoist immortal sect no weaker than the Ganlu Chan Monastery. It was the Eight Views Pavilion that Qin Sang encountered in the storm belt. The True Monarch's dharma name was Dan Yu, and he was as famous as the Saint Hui Guang.
Qin Sang sought the opportunity to ascend to the divine realm and explore the secrets beyond the Storm Belt. He knew he would inevitably have dealings with them in the future, but he never expected the Ganlu Zen Monastery to come to him first.
He shouldn't have any dealings with the Gulan Zen Monastery, could it be that he is seeking justice for Zhu Lan Temple
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Countless thoughts flashed through my mind in an instant.
Qin Sang consulted Lu Zhang, but didn't receive any hints. His face was filled with joy, "The two of you visiting my humble abode brightens it up! Please come in!"
As they spoke, Qin Sang led the two into the main hall of the mountain gate and had them each take a seat.
"Don't worry, fellow cultivator. It was I who introduced you to Master Xiao Xing Chan, and I would like to ask you a few questions," Lu Zhang bowed slightly, explaining.
Qin Sang replied with an "Oh," and said, "I wonder what this poor Taoist can do to help the Zen master"
He was also observing the two people on the opposite side secretly.
Before, I hadn't heard of any connection between Bu Nian Shan and Ganlu Chan Temple. Perhaps the two had a private relationship.
