Chapter 2013 Jade Knife
Seeing that Qin Sang didn't mind Butler Luo's offensive words, Deacon Ruan tactfully shut his mouth and looked at Butler Luo.
Steward Luo seemed calm, but he was actually extremely nervous. The other party was not only a powerful cultivator in the Void Refinement Stage, but also an elder of the Five Elements Alliance. He had a high status and should not be offended. If he had not had to, he would not dare to insist on his own opinion.
With his mind relaxed, Steward Luo hurriedly took out a piece of purple stone and said, "Senior, you can quench the impurities of this purple source stone and refine the purest purple divine iron, which is enough to prove it."
Qin Sang was a little surprised when he saw the stone in Butler Luo's hand.
Of course he knew that the Purple Sky Divine Iron was a precious spiritual material, but he had never heard of this Purple Source Stone, and there was no record of it in the Five Elements Alliance's classics.
According to records, the Purple Sky Divine Iron exists in the universe in the form of crystal grains. As long as a mineral vein is discovered, the most refined Purple Sky Divine Iron can be obtained. However, the Purple Sky Divine Iron has a very troublesome characteristic. These crystal grains are independent, and it is very difficult to melt them into a whole piece of Purple Sky Divine Iron. The Purple Sky Divine Iron in the form of crystal grains cannot be used directly to refine tools.
"Where did you get this purple source stone?"
Qin Sang took the stone into his palm and probed into its interior with his spiritual sense. He immediately made a new and surprising discovery. The Purple Source Stone was far less pure than the Purple Sky Divine Iron crystals, but the Purple Sky Divine Iron extracted from it could be directly formed into blocks, saving the pain of smelting.
"It is said that the Purple Source Stone comes from an area in the wilderness. Due to the special environment, a mineral vein was formed. Unless there is a similar environment somewhere else, only there will be Purple Source Stone produced," replied Manager Luo.
"Wild?"
Qin Sang looked at Butler Luo deeply. No wonder there was no record of the Five Elements Alliance.
How could the master family behind Steward Luo be able to take out the treasures from the wilderness? Could it be from the chaotic area between the Great Zhou and the wilderness?
In just a few breaths, Qin Sang had a general understanding of the properties of the Purple Source Stone. It was not a difficult task to extract the Purple Sky Divine Iron from it. The key was how much loss was caused during the refining process and how much pure Purple Sky Divine Iron could be extracted. The ability of the refiner could be seen from this.
Especially for those who have just come into contact with Purple Source Stone, only with deep accumulation in the art of refining can the loss be minimized. This is a clever method of verification.
Qin Sang stood where he was, his eyes slightly closed, holding the Purple Source Stone in his hand, and was about to temper it on the spot.
Seeing this, Deacon Ruan quietly opened the formation in the courtyard, pulled Butler Luo aside, and watched Qin Sang's actions silently.
The true energy gradually gathered in Qin Sang's palm, and a cloud of mist visible to the naked eye enveloped the Purple Source Stone.
The purple source stone tumbled up and down in the mist.
There is no need to use fire to temper the Purple Source Stone, it can be done purely with true energy. On the one hand, it requires powerful cultivation and precise control of every change inside the Purple Source Stone. On the other hand, it requires relying on past accumulation to conduct a sophisticated analysis of the Purple Source Stone and extract the Purple Sky Divine Iron like peeling off silk from an onion without being contaminated by impurities.
Deacon Ruan and Butler Luo held their breath and watched as wisps of foul air escaped from the mist. The Purple Source Stone gradually shrank in size, but its luster became increasingly pure. They could not help but reveal expressions of amazement.
In the end, the fist-sized purple source stone became the size of a fingernail, like a piece of the purest amethyst, shining with purple light.
"Elder Qin's skills are amazing. I admire him!"
Steward Luo took a step forward, his demeanor becoming more respectful. "This piece of Purple Heaven God Iron is a gift from the master to Elder Qin. Elder Qin, please wait for a moment. I will go back and ask the master to come in person. However, the master was injured not long ago and is using a secret technique to heal his wounds. If I have been disrespectful, I hope Elder Qin will forgive me."
With that, Steward Luo bowed and took his leave. Not long after, he personally drove a carriage to the gate of the Five Elements Alliance.
The carriage was pulled by an exotic spirit horse. Various strange spirit beasts could be seen everywhere in Yumen Pass, so it did not attract much attention. Only people with sharp enough spiritual perception could vaguely sense that the aura of the spirit horse and the carriage was a little special. When they were about to take a closer look, the carriage had already been invited in by Deacon Ruan.
The carriage drove into Qin Sang's courtyard. Steward Luo landed lightly and stood beside the carriage. He whispered, "Young Master, this is Elder Qin of the Five Elements Alliance."
Then he bowed to Qin Sang, who was sitting in the yard and playing with the Purple Sky Divine Iron. Just as he was about to speak, the curtain of the carriage shook slightly.
"My surname is Xin, my given name is 'Sheng', and I am here to see Elder Qin. Due to my poor health, I have no choice but to use my family's secret technique, which has caused me to be unable to move and look strange. I dare not show it to others. If I have been disrespectful, I would like to apologize to Elder Qin first."
Qin Sang raised his eyes and looked towards the carriage.
The carriage was facing him, with only a thin curtain between them. He seemed to be able to see the scene inside the carriage through the gap, but he could only sense a vague breath and was unable to determine the cultivation level of this Young Master Xin.
The other person's voice was very hoarse and he did seem to be short of breath. I didn't know if it was real or just a pretense.
Looking at the spirit horse pulling the carriage, it is clearly an illusory creature. It is obvious that the carriage must be a rare treasure that can isolate the spiritual perception of the Void Refining Monk.
Of course, Qin Sang did not use his spiritual sense to forcefully attack, otherwise he might not be able to stop him, but in this way it would be impossible to continue the conversation calmly.
Qin Sang naturally couldn't believe everything the other party said. The words and actions of Manager Luo and Young Master Xin made Qin Sang feel as if they were deliberately hiding some secrets. The identities of the two might not be true. Are they avoiding some enemy?
However, it was extremely rare to ask a master weapon refiner to go to Fengju Yumen to refine treasures. Qin Sang had long anticipated that the other party might be involved in something behind the scenes.
He has always been practical and not concerned with empty formalities. Besides, the other party's words were quite sincere, so he did not delve into it. He placed the Purple Sky Divine Iron on the table, sat down, and said calmly, "You have seen my abilities. Since Young Master Xin has come here in person, he must be sincere. Let's get down to business."
"Yes!"
Young Master Xin was silent for a moment, as if he was organizing his words. "This is a matter of great importance. Before we reach our destination, we cannot reveal the exact location to the outside world. We can only tell Elder Qin that it is a small world inside Fengju Yumen..."
……
Ten days later.
An inconspicuous horse-drawn carriage drove out of Yumen Pass and was gradually swallowed up by the wind and sand.
On the city wall, there were several malicious and hidden gazes, staring at the carriage.
As soon as the carriage disappeared in the wind and sand, several figures quietly rushed out and tried to follow behind.
Unexpectedly, after they chased for a while, the carriage in front disappeared without a trace. This group of guys from different forces finally lost their target and stood in the desolate desert staring at each other.
"Elder Qin, do you want to get rid of those guys?"
On a hill, Qin Sang, who had already left the city, was standing here, with a dozen people standing behind him.
Among the dozen or so people, there were some who had reached the stage of Divine Transformation and some who had Nascent Soul. All of them had a fierce look and a strong murderous aura. They were the members of the Hengsha Society.
Different locations inside Fengju Yumen have different degrees of danger. Yuanying cultivators can explore the outer areas alone, but to go deeper, they must be led by a Shenhua cultivator.
Six of them were Jinhua cultivators. The one who spoke was their leader, named Qu Zhen, who was in the late Jinhua stage. Those Yuanying cultivators were also smart and capable, and they were a strong force wherever they went.
"No need," Qin Sang looked up at the sky.
A dragon and phoenix carriage was coming through the air.
After leaving Yumen Pass, the carriage finally showed its true power, and the horses pulling the carriage turned into eight-headed dragons and phoenixes.
The four dragons and four phoenixes are extraordinary and magical. The structure of the carriage has also changed. In addition to the independent quiet room opened up by Young Master Xin, a spacious hall supported by more than a dozen dragon and phoenix stone pillars has also appeared. There are gauze curtains outside and jade tables inside, filled with fairy fruits.
"Elder Qin, fellow Taoists, please get on board. It will save some energy if you ride in the treasure carriage," Young Master Xin invited.
Qin Sang was not polite either. He took Qu Zhen and others onto the dragon and phoenix carriage, and each of them found a jade table to sit on.
The dragon and phoenix chariot shook and just as it set sail, Qin Sang's eyes suddenly focused and he looked towards the north.
Deep in the wind and sand, a green rainbow broke through the air at a high speed. It was a sword cultivator who seemed to have sensed Qin Sang's breath. The green rainbow paused slightly, but did not come over. It quickly recovered its speed and continued to fly towards Yumen Pass.
Qu Zhen and the others only sensed a sharp sword intent flashing in the distance, but they were not aware of the subtle changes. Qin Sang secretly observed Butler Luo and saw that Butler Luo looked normal and greeted Qu Zhen and the others warmly, as if he was completely unaware.
If Young Master Xin was also a Void Refining cultivator, he would definitely be able to notice the actions of the sword cultivator.
Up to this point, Qin Sang had only met two members of the Xin family.
"Didn't Young Master Xin say that the other members of the Xin family were stationed outside the city? When will they join us?" Qin Sang looked around and asked.
"If they all enter the city, they will be too conspicuous and easily targeted by those interested. So they are lurking outside the city and rushing to Fengju Yumen in batches. Steward Luo has already sent out a talisman, and they will definitely arrive before they enter. Don't worry, Elder Qin, after entering Fengju Yumen, I will immediately order them to obey Elder Qin's orders and help Elder Qin find the Dihua Jade Vine," Young Master Xin explained.
This was one of the conditions for cooperation between the two parties. In addition, Qin Sang also required the other party to share with him the internal information of Fengju Yumen, and other rewards had not yet been determined.
As for the condition of hiring the Hengsha Society, it is to refine a treasure for Qu Zhen and others again. As for the degree of refinement, it depends on their contribution.
The eight-headed dragon and phoenix pulled the cart with all their might, and the cart moved quickly through the wind and sand, heading towards the northwest.
We flew for more than ten days without stopping and discovered several towns of varying sizes along the way.
That evening, while they were galloping, Qu Zhen stepped forward and said, "Elder Qin, the town ahead is Huaisha Town. I know a know-it-all who lives here. Whenever something big happens in Fengju and Yumen, this person always gets the news the fastest."
"Let Butler Luo accompany you down," Qin Sang ordered.
"Yes!"
The two men got off the car and the carriage stopped in the sky waiting. Two hours later, the two men returned and told the news they had obtained.
Fengju and Yumen are the same as usual, and nothing noteworthy has happened, so you can go there with confidence.
As he approached Fengju Yumen, Qin Sang felt vaguely that the void of heaven and earth seemed to be constantly shaking, and could even affect people's minds.
The wind and sand became stronger, and occasionally one could see waves of spiritual tides howling.
Fengju Yumen is extremely vast, and there are certain rules for entering from which position. The dragon and phoenix chariot continued to fly north with them. It was obvious that the Xin family's target was in a relatively northern location.
However, it is said that Fengju Yumen is adjacent to the Wu Clan in the west and the wilderness in the north. Even if they fly for ten days, they will not be able to reach the northernmost tip of Fengju Yumen. Instead, they may encounter danger and die along the way.
On the twentieth day, Qin Sang, who was resting with his eyes closed on the Luan carriage, suddenly changed color, straightened his body abruptly, as if he had discovered something unusual, and stared at the north with his eyes flashing.
Everyone in the carriage immediately noticed something was wrong with Qin Sang. They followed Qin Sang's gaze, but only saw endless yellow dust. They couldn't help but feel nervous, thinking that danger was approaching.
'Shuh! '
Qin Sang's figure flashed, and he escaped from the Luan car and disappeared in an instant.
The reins on Long Feng suddenly straightened, and Young Master Xin stopped the carriage.
At this time, everyone just vaguely sensed several auras in the north, chasing each other. It seemed that one group of people were chasing another group of people, and the highest cultivation level was only at the Spirit Transformation Stage.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. A female cultivator asked in a low voice, "Among those being hunted, are there any descendants of Elder Qin?"
This was not the first time that Elder Qin had encountered a fight, but he had never paid any attention to it.
Qu Zhen shook his head and pointed out all the gods to fly over.
Butler Luo hesitated, "Young Master, we..."
"Wait!"
Young Master Xin only uttered one word.
……
at the same time.
In the wind and sand, three beams of light were chasing each other. It seemed that the two people at the back were working together to hunt down the person in front.
All three were cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Stage, and their pursuers were two men in black robes. The man in front had a disordered aura and was already injured.
This person was a woman, with a jade knife flying up and down beside her. She was extremely agile and repeatedly blocked the opponent's attacks.
The woman's face was filled with anxiety. Each of the pursuers was more powerful than her. If she hadn't had the jade sword, she would have been defeated long ago. Now she was being stuck to the enemy and had no chance of escaping. Sooner or later, she would be exhausted and die.
'when! ’
An ice arrow was bounced off by the jade knife and broke into pieces.
A man in a black robe didn't care at all, instead he had a greedy look on his face, "I didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain this time, a little guy in the early stage of transformation actually has a precious sword that will soon transform into a spiritual treasure!"
"If we take this knife, we brothers will soon be able to possess a magic treasure," another man licked his lips, revealing an evil look, "The little girl is not bad looking, it's a top-grade cauldron, but it's a pity there's only one, so we brothers can only take turns to enjoy it!"
"Hahaha……"
The two men laughed wildly and used words to shock the woman's mind.
The three of them didn't notice that a figure appeared silently in front of them.
Qin Sang stared at the woman, or to be more precise, at the jade knife beside the woman.
Although the jade knife is very different from what it was back then, this knife was forged by him, and a familiar aura still remains in the blade.
'Shuh! '
Qin Sang raised his right hand, and the jade knife suddenly broke away from the woman and flew towards him automatically.
The woman also saw Qin Sang and discovered that the jade knife was not under her control at all. In an instant, the blood in her body almost froze and her eyes were filled with fear.
Qin Sang gently stroked the jade knife, as if he was communicating with an old friend, or reminiscing about the past. He looked at the terrified woman and asked faintly, "Who is the Binghan Sect Master of the Xu Ling Sect to you?"
