ning for a long time. He knew that if he was entangled by two powerful demons during the beast tide, he would be slowly drained of his life force. The best way to break the situation was to divide and...Qilong Island.

The island is long and narrow, shaped like a reclining dragon, hence its name. Although the island is not large, it is rich in spiritual energy and is an excellent place for cultivation. It was already somewhat famous before being occupied by the Liu brothers, after which its reputation as Qilong Island became even louder.

The Liu brothers practiced the same martial arts technique. What's rare is that they both have good talent. At a young age, they both broke through to the thirteenth level of the Qi Refining Period. If they are lucky, there's even a possibility of building a foundation.

They were able to join forces against Foundation Establishment cultivators even when they were in the Qi Refining period. If they broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage, their strength would be even greater, so they were very famous among lone cultivators and no one was willing to provoke them.

The people of the Liu clan lived on Qilong Island. Under the protection of the Liu brothers, they lived a peaceful and contented life. However, this tranquility was destined to be broken after the death of the Liu brothers.

That morning, the usually composed steward of the Liu residence suddenly looked anxious and rushed into the inner courtyard. He stumbled over the threshold and almost fell, looking utterly disheveled, and not caring in the slightest about his appearance.

Liu Jiang's wife heard the commotion and came out of the room. Her brows furrowed, she questioned Wu Bo with some displeasure, "Wu Bo, what urgent matter could have you rushing like this"

"Madam, disaster has struck! Disaster!"

Wu Bo ran quickly to his wife's side and whispered a few words in her ear.

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

Mrs. Liu's face changed dramatically, and she exclaimed in horror, "Is this true"

Wu Beru was devastated, "The two masters'... are right in the ancestral hall!"

Qin Sang hid in the shadows, not appearing. Seeing that the Liu family had already discovered the bodies of the Liu brothers, he drifted away. As for what would become of the Liu family after losing their pillars, it was none of his concern.

Having entrusted Wu, the shopkeeper, with finding the ghost-carved feather and the refining of the Devourer Cone, Qin Sang left the market to wrap up his trip. He was going to Mingqin Island to bury his senior sister Qing Ting and her husband, passing by Qilong Island on the way to send back the bodies of the Liu brothers.

Without mentioning how the Liu family was startled, Qin Sang traveled south for ten days and finally found that unassuming small island in the area mentioned by Qing Ting's senior sister.

The name "Mingqin Island" was given by the Qingting couple. It is not a famous island; it's just a mountain. There are no distinctive features or mystical qualities about it except for the steep cliff face on its eastern side facing the water.

On the cliff face, there was a gigantic mural or sculpture carved from a sword.

A man and a woman embrace sweetly, gazing east, able to share the sunrise together every day.

The statue must have been there for a while, weathered and worn, but you can still make out that it's depicting Master Jiang and Senior Sister Qingting.

Beside the statue, there was a stone room with a few simple household items.

Qin Sang could imagine that after Brother Jiang's accident, his primordial spirit was increasingly deteriorating. Sister Qingting, in order to find a way to treat Brother Jiang, ran around the cultivation world every day, seeking help from all parties. She held onto a glimmer of hope and dared not relax even for a moment.

Only when I return here, watching the sunrise and recalling past sweetness, can I have such a short respite, showing a smile.

One word of love, truly makes people feel perplexed.

Qin Sang let out a soft sigh and wielded his sword to dig a grave beneath the statue. He buried the couple of Qing Ting there, erecting a tombstone upon which he had inscribed only "Joint Tomb of Jiang Yi and the Couple of Qing Ting," then laid out several prepared talismans.

Two small formations, one is a smokescreen, and the other is a protective barrier.

Qin Sang should have left directly, but he stood there, looking at the statue, unable to move. Memories that had already been discarded surged up one after another.

Since entering this world, the only woman he admired was Dongyang County Princess. Dongyang County Princess once said that they were a kind of people, both seeking a glimmer of possibility in impossibility, with thorns all over the way but unwavering. Perhaps this is why Qin Sang admires her.

Unfortunately, the two who admired each other had different aspirations. He was determined to seek immortality, while the Eastern Yang County Princess remained steadfast in her pursuit of power's pinnacle.

What would have happened if I had chosen to stay back then

A harmonious life, filled with abundance, is it not more meaningful than the pursuit of ephemeral immortality

For countless years, countless Yuan Ying cultivators in the Xiaohan Realm met the same end, none escaping death. Not even one managed to break through to the stage of dividing their spirit, let alone become an immortal.

>

A flicker of confusion crossed Qin Sang's eyes, before it cleared swiftly. He shook his head vigorously, his gaze fixed firmly eastward with determination.

There, the sun rises with a blush of crimson across the sky.

No ifs!

Choose this path and walk it steadfastly, without regret even in death.

Qin Sang accompanied the Qingting couple in watching the sunrise, then drifted away.

Back at the cave, Qin Sang sorted out the spoils of war obtained in the underground tunnel. He kept what he found useful and planned to dispose of the rest when he got the chance.

After several life-and-death battles in the cave, Qin Sang also gained something in his cultivation techniques. However, he didn't rush to practice, but planned to study the Heavenly Yin Corpse Scripture thoroughly, hoping to achieve success in refining a corpse demon once.

Five days later, Qin Sang opened his eyes and nodded silently.

Currently, he only has the body of a Baiyunshan cultivator in his hands. There are no living Foundation Establishment cultivators. The most common Corpse refinement doesn't need a Heavenly Corpse Talisman. As long as all the required spiritual materials are gathered and patience is exercised during the refining process, the only thing to worry about is Di Sha Qi. It's very dangerous; a single misstep could destroy the corpse and injure him himself.

Of course, this danger couldn't stop Qin Sang. Baiyunshan people were originally about to break through the middle stage of the Qi refining period. With his refined zombie's strength, he wouldn't be bad. In the future, he would definitely be a good helper.

In the cave, Qin Sang encountered Corpse Fiends that didn't seem difficult to deal with. But those were mindless Corpse Fiends, lacking intelligence and without anyone controlling them. They only acted on their instincts of killing and bloodlust. If someone controlled them, the Corpse Fiends would be completely different. Their flesh would become hardened, they'd carry corpse poison, and they wouldn't fear pain or death. In the right hands, they could be incredibly useful.

Even if it's just to entangle the opponent, delay time, and prepare the Ten Directions Hell Formation, it's worth it.

Today was the day Master Wu had promised to deliver the goods, so Qin Sang sealed his cave and flew ahead on his sword to Huilong Temple. There were no new sound transmission talismans, and Old Lady Jing had sent no word either.

Upon arriving at Wu Dianshi's shop, Qin Sang saw the things he wanted: ten Ghost Carving Feathers and two Devouring Yuan Cones!

Please note that the original content within the > tags was empty. I have retained the HTML tag structure as requested.

The Ghost Carving Feather resembles the legendary black phoenix feather. A giant eye-shaped pattern adorns its feathers, with a jet-black "pupil" in the center of the "eye." This "pupil" is actually a ball of black flames, a strange and eerie yin fire.

Wu, the shopkeeper, agreed to Qin Sang's request and ordered six ghost carving quills. With such a short timeframe for delivery, the price was naturally exorbitant.

Qin Sang also paid the mercenary who forged the Devourer's Cone.

All in all, from buying the Nine-Aperture Stone and Azure Void Gold on Pagoda Peak to now, over eight hundred low-grade spirit stones have been spent like flowing water. Of course, this is also related to his foresight and preparation of several sets of Yin materials.
