n the Xuan Tie Pillar, his refining skills saw a great leap forward. He utilized some precious monster bones and spiritual materials he had saved up previously to successfully forge his first magic tr...Qin Sang's purpose was to win Yu Kong's trust. The first thing he had to do was demonstrate his value and show off his abilities, ideally attracting Yu Kong to him proactively.

Another purpose was to let Yu Kong and the others know that he was not someone to be trifled with, so that they wouldn't be pushed out as cannon fodder when facing danger.

This was Qin Sang's long-prepared plan. Otherwise, according to his true intentions, he would never be so high-profile and attract attention.

Show your capabilities, but don't overdo it.

The ebony sword is enough to intimidate them.

All the means, such as the Ten Directions Hell Banner, Jade Ruyi Talisman Treasures, and Nine Dragons Celestial Palanquin Talisman, must not be exposed.

The Ebony Sword forced Yanwu back, 'whoosh' it flew back, with a flash it was retracted into Qin Sang's body.

At this moment, the circular sword formation was still hovering in the air. The next instant, the sword qi dissipated, but the sharp sword intent lingered in everyone's hearts, unable to dissipate for a long time.

The expressions on everyone's faces were varied.

The moment the ebony sword appeared, Shangguan Lifeng's eyes lit up. He fixed his gaze on the ebony sword until Qin Sang sheathed it within himself, then his eyes fell on Qin Sang again, a strong fighting spirit flickering in his eyes before being quickly suppressed.

“Good sword!”

>

The Xiu sisters looked at each other, out of respect for the strong. Regardless of Xiu Zhiying's aloofness or Xiu Zhirui's coquettishness, their attitudes softened somewhat as they bowed to Qin Sang in greeting.

“Master Qingfeng's swordsmanship is divine, the little woman admires it.”

>

Only Yan Wu was left with his face covered in shame, his face turning ashen.

If he had positioned himself properly, Yanwu wouldn't have been so disheveled.

He wanted to regain his lost face, but deep down he knew that since the Taoist dared to expose his natal spirit sword, this person likely had methods even more powerful than the spirit sword itself.

To rush headlong into something is to court humiliation.

Yan Wu glanced at Qin Sang with a gloomy expression, let out a cold snort without saying a word, turned and walked into the room, 'bang' shut the door.

Then, Xiu's sisters and Shangguan Lifeng also returned to their own rooms. After all, they were all strangers and not familiar with each other, so there wasn't much to talk about.

Facing Yan Wu's hatred, Qin Sang remained composed. Yu Kong also seemed to ignore Yan Wu's actions and cupped his hands in salute, praising: "Daoist Master, what a fine sword! What masterful swordsmanship! With Daoist Master and several fellow Daoists assisting us, how could we not succeed in great matters"

“Master Dao, please stay in this room first. Just open the restrictions of the room, don't worry about being disturbed, you can cultivate with peace of mind.” Yu Kong led Qin Sang into an empty room and pointed him on how to manipulate the restrictions in the room.

Qin Sang looked around and found the room was narrow, and the furnishings were extremely simple. It was mainly too small, only one-fourth the size of an ordinary house, and there was only a cushion inside.

Yu Kong explained: “The cave dwellings in Xihang Town are incredibly expensive. Yu has only a small fortune, which is enough to rent this small courtyard. The largest room was given to the Xiu sisters, and the others are indeed rather cramped. I hope Daozhang won't mind."

As cultivators, we only need a place to reside.

>

Qin Sang shook his head, indicating he didn't mind. Then, with a hint of curiosity, he asked, "Daoist Yu, I heard from the old shopkeeper that you are proficient in a certain formation that can allow for over 90% certainty of safely passing through the Guardian Formation and entering the Qiuhongfang Market. What is the name of this formation When will you begin practicing it"

Yu Kong lightly patted his forehead and shook his head with a wry smile, "Master Dao, you didn't mention it, and I almost forgot! Thinking about it, seeing Master Dao's powerful strength, Yu received such great help from Master Dao, I was too excited and completely forgot the most important thing..."

Although they understood that Yu Kong was putting on a show, under his seemingly sincere compliments, even an ordinary person would feel secretly pleased if they could resist the flattery.

This person is good at winning people over.

Qin Sang's heart was wary, repeatedly saying he didn't dare. "My humble skills are far inferior to yours, Daoist Yu. As long as you, Daoist Yu, don't find my abilities too weak, I will do my best to maintain the formation and follow your lead..."

Yu Kong nodded slightly.

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

“To be honest, the old shopkeeper exaggerated a bit. My formation is called the Returning Yuan Formation. It’s not as powerful as the old shopkeeper said, but because I once entered the Qiu Hongfang market and have some understanding of guarding formations, my grasp is quite good. Besides, this formation requires at least nine people to exert its full power. Including you, we now have six. Don't worry, sir. Just recruit three more people, and we can start practicing the formation.”

Like the Nine-Star River Array and the Returning Yuan Array, it also requires nine people to form the array.

But 'nine' is the ultimate number, it's perfectly normal. Qin Sang nodded and didn't ask further.

Yu Kong seemed very interested in Qin Sang and didn't leave in a hurry. Instead, he subtly inquired about Qin Sang's background.

“As a wandering Taoist, I have been active outside the Xuanling Pass. Later, I heard that an ancient medicine garden was discovered here, with miraculous herbs emerging. That's why I rushed over. Unexpectedly, there are so many hidden techniques in Qiuhongfang Market. If I had known earlier, I would have invited three or two friends to join me, and I wouldn't be so embarrassed…”

Qin Sang said with a frustrated expression.

Yu Kong shook his head and sighed, "I didn't expect the rumors to have reached Xuanling Pass already"

“Is Daoist Yu also saying it’s a rumor”

>

Qin Sang feigned astonishment, his voice urgent as he pressed, "Is there really no spiritual medicine at Qiuhongfang Market"

Yu Kong's eyes flashed, he glanced at Qin Sang without changing his expression and said with unusual certainty: "It is indeed a rumor, and every time a secret realm like the Qiu Hongfang Market emerges, there are rumors like this. Only this time it has spread widely, causing many friends, just like Dao Chang, to be misled. If someone said that there were a few elixir hidden in a pagoda or ancient building in Qiu Hongfang Market, it would be possible, but the rumor actually said that there was an undiscovered medicinal garden, and anyone who had entered Qiu Hongfang Market wouldn't believe it. I don't know what the intentions of those rats spreading this rumor are."

From Yu Kong's words, one couldn't tell anything. After he entered Xiwang Town, he inquired many times, and the information he received was similar to what Yu Kong had said.

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

Qin Sang's mind flashed with this thought, but he didn't forget to play along with Yu Kong. His brows furrowed tightly, and he remained silent.

Yu Kong comforted, "Master Daoist needn't worry. Even if the rumors about the herb garden are false, there are many places in Qiu Hongfang market that hide treasures, including elixir and immortal pills. Coincidentally, I know a thing or two about them. If Master Daoist is interested, after entering Qiu Hongfang market, we might as well continue to cooperate. We can each take what we need from the treasures we find and divide them fairly. What do you think"

“This…”

I didn't expect the Ebony Sword to be so effective. Just on the first day, Yu Kong took the initiative to invite me.

Qin Sang was willing to accept, but it went against the cautious personality he had cultivated in front of the old shopkeeper. He had to give up this opportunity, a look of hesitation appearing on his face.

"The Taoist doesn't need to reply hastily."

Yu Kong raised his foot and walked out, saying as he went, "We still have a long time to spend together. By then, Dao Chang will know Yu's character."

Qin Sang let out a big sigh of relief and nodded vigorously.
