wmen.While Yuanzhen, the Abbot, watched soldiers empty Xiezhi Temple's treasury, box after box of gold and silver treasures flowed downhill, he remained impassive. Truly, what a composed mind!Zhou Mi...Qin Sang's thoughts tumbled, the more she thought about it, the more feasible this plan seemed. The problem was how could her outer body be chosen by Yan Miao Pavilion and infiltrate it.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
This body's talent is very ordinary, with only four spiritual roots. In his lifetime, he was lucky enough to receive a chance encounter once, and at a young age, he cultivated to the fifth layer of the Qi Refining Period, but then he was trapped by the bottleneck of the sixth layer.
Even if one were lucky enough to break through the bottleneck in the future, it would be difficult to achieve much.
The outer avatar mainly relies on blood feeding and secret arts to improve. "Cultivation of Primal Demon Embryo" doesn't require talent in physical constitution, that's why Qin Sang chose this corpse as his physical body.
With such talent, it's impossible for Yān Miǎo Gē to take notice. Then, only cultivation can be the victor.
The three major bottlenecks in the Qi Refinement Stage are three difficulties that cultivators must face.
If one can successfully overcome these three bottlenecks, even if their talent is a bit lacking, it at least shows that this person either has a strong will or deep good fortune. Perhaps in the future, they will have the opportunity to lay a solid foundation.
These are enough reasons to be chosen.
With this kind of mentality, even if one's foundation building fails, they can turn to learning a miscellaneous skill and still achieve some success, contributing to the sect. They wouldn't end up with a useless disciple.
After all, Yānmiǎo Gē isn't like Lán Dòu Mén, a renowned and powerful sect. Its requirements for selecting disciples couldn't possibly be extremely strict; otherwise, it probably wouldn't attract many people.
The cultivation of the avatar is progressing at an astonishing rate, now almost reaching the peak of the seventh layer of Qi Refining.
It's only been a month since the Yānmǐué Pavilion's grand ceremony for accepting disciples, and breaking through to the ninth level in a month is quite difficult. Qin Sang had to push himself to the limit, even sacrificing his own blood essence.
“Continued blood cultivation should be able to forcefully push to the ninth layer of Qi Condensation within a month. However, rushing for quick results could lead to instability in the physical and mental state. But with such low cultivation, the Sword Soul still carries a trace of Jade Buddha's power, it is impossible to backlash…”
Qin Sang had a plan in mind. He instructed the shop assistant to buy up demon corpses at a high price, then returned to his cave abode and sat opposite his external avatar in meditation.

A month later.
Qin Sang stopped the secret technique and slowly opened his eyes.
His face flushed pale for a moment, then quickly returned to normal.
His avatar's aura was somewhat unstable at this time. In just one month, his cultivation level had reached the peak of the eighth layer and was in the process of breaking through.
"Boom!"
The avatar's Zhenyuan in the Qi Sea suddenly expanded and then abruptly compressed inward, followed by a swift return to calm.
There was a cracking sound from his bones, and his flesh also underwent refinement in the process of breaking through. As his breath returned to stable, the tempering was quickly completed.
At this time, his cultivation had successfully broken through to the ninth level of the Qi Refining Period.
If other cultivators saw such a relaxed and effortless breakthrough process, especially at the bottleneck of the ninth layer, they would definitely be envious to tears.
Qin Sang checked the state of his avatar and confirmed that there was nothing wrong. His expression relaxed slightly.
This past month, the most tiring thing wasn't his avatar but his true body. Not only did he have to maintain the magical art, but he also had to provide blood essence. Fortunately, the effect was good.
However, this method of raising cultivation through blood feeding becomes less effective as the gap between the avatar and the main body narrows. When their cultivations are almost equal, there is only one way to quickly boost the avatar's power: for the avatar to become a true demon and devour the essence energy of other cultivators.
《The Bloodline Demon Embryo] was originally a devilish magic art. After being improved by Senior Qingzhu, it became less sinister, but its essence remained bloody.
Qin Sangmo calculated the time, "Six days later is the Yānmiǎo Ge ceremony to accept disciples. It's best to go early. Let my avatar stabilize its cultivation base, and I'll quickly refine the Devouring Origin Cone, preparing more self-defense methods for him."
>
Qin Sang set up a barrier, separating his avatar from the outside world. He then summoned the Nine Netherfire to refine the demon corpse brought by the innkeeper. From his Qianjun Ring, he retrieved several luminous and peculiar demon bones.
To ensure the safety of her avatar, Qin Sang spared no expense and brought out all her treasured demon bones. These were the bones of demon beasts at the Demon Core stage, used to refine the Devouring Primal Cone. It was a bit wasteful, but its power was undeniable.
He didn't rest, he started refining without stopping.
The demonic fire gathered into a ball, floating before Qin Sang.
Now, his mastery over demonic fire and his refining abilities were vastly improved. He calmly watched as the demon bones tumbled in the flames, impurities purged, melting into the purest materials until they finally took the shape of the Devouring Yuan Cone.
Based on past experience, he layered other insidious methods onto the Devourer's Cone, such as poison needles, etc.
After much busyness, Qin Sang had dozens of Sha Yuan Jui before him. Putting them into his mustard seed pouch, Qin Sang selected some artifacts suitable for his avatar's identity and handed them over to be refined.
Qin Sang looked at the avatar outside his body, pondering what other flaws there might be.
Three nights later.
Qin Sang set off with his avatar.
The bustling market was still a long way from Yan Miao Pavilion, but it wasn't much of a distance for Qin Sang. He had already entered Lan Dou Mountain by dawn.
Lán Dòu Mountain is the territory of Lán Dòu Mén, and some smaller sects affiliated with Lán Dòu Mén also occupy various parts of the mountain.

A mountaintop.
Qin Sang gazed at the endless mountains ahead, his emotionless outer avatar following beside him.
"Let's part ways here. Take this."
Qin Sang turned around and gave his avatar a copper coin. He decided to separate from his avatar here, letting him go to Yan Miao Pavilion alone while his true self secretly protected him.
His outer form remained impassive, accepting the ingot of silver without a flicker of emotion.
At this time, Qin Sang summoned the Heavenly Eye Butterfly, his lips moving slightly as if giving it orders. The Heavenly Eye Butterfly fluttered around his true form, seeming reluctant to leave.
Finally, when the avatar sensed a similar aura to Qin Sang, it was no longer so repulsive. Its butterfly wings fluttered, its figure flashed, and it darted into the qi sea.
"With its butterfly-like camouflage, it's capable of hiding from even the most careful scrutiny. However, it’s best not to summon it lightly…"
Qin Sang's expression was solemn.
Both were important to him, but now they had to be apart.
The avatar bowed to the true self, then tapped its foot and brought out a bamboo leaf-shaped artifact. The artifact flew into the air and soon disappeared into the morning mist of the mountains.
Zhen Shen took a breath, his figure vanished into thin air, silently following.
Bamboo leaves, light and graceful, flit like phantoms through the mountains.

The avatar outside his body wore an ordinary gray tunic, a jade belt around his waist, and a long sword on his back. The long sword was a high-quality magic weapon with considerable power. But its peculiarity was that it was crafted by Qin Sang from a mysterious jade. When activated, it had the ability to become invisible, appearing and disappearing like a ghost when facing an enemy.

Besides the sword, the other magical artifacts of his external avatar were quite ordinary. For an itinerant cultivator, it was already quite good.
身外化身捏了捏青蚨錢，將之收進芥子袋，凝目看向煙淼閣方向，自語道：“從現在起，我叫張越。”

His eyes and expression are very similar to Qin Sang's.
After all, they are one entity.d.Suddenly, thousands of stone swords trembled at once, and the hall echoed with the long cries of their blades.The ebony sword was also affected, its sword qi rippling and humming.With the ebony swor...
