Chapter 1592: Soul Binding Secret Art
guidance, it would mean more to me than a thousand years' worth of elixirs. I am willing to offer the Spirit-Jade Tree as well.Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!So tha...Leaving Gong Xingqing behind, Qin Sang quickly walked out of the quiet room.
The token in hand, guides the way.
In a short while, the token led Qin Sang to a room. A servant was already guarding there, opening the door and saying respectfully, "Senior, please come in."
Behind the door was not a room, but a winding staircase leading down, a narrow stone path that stretched into the unknown.
The little servant led the way ahead.
Qin Sang sensed the fluctuations of the restrictions within Shi Dao, but they were not restrictions that confined people's movements. They were simply used to block divine sense perception.
The young attendant's cultivation was not weak, he was proficient in the art of divine movement, his speed was incredibly fast, and Qin Sang effortlessly kept up.
The dark passage seemed to stretch on forever.
Qin Sang estimated the distance and had already left Tianzhong County, feeling a little surprised.
Thus, they hurried on for a while.
Suddenly, the light ahead dimmed and a stone wall appeared.
The servant stopped and turned to say, "I respectfully inform my senior that I can only escort you this far. After leaving, senior can use the token to sense the location of the Yibao Hui. This is a disguised treasure prepared by our hall for my senior. It works in conjunction with the formations at the Yibao Hui to block divine senses and prevent others from peering."
After finishing his words, the little servant presented Qin Sang with a jade-shaped talisman, bowed respectfully, and then turned to retreat into the dark passage. The passage, along with the servant, vanished before Qin Sang's eyes as if it had never been there. The intricate mechanisms and powerful restrictions in place clearly demonstrated that Liuzhou Hall had a deep and extensive influence here, fully controlling the Tianzhong County.

The previous guesses were mostly accurate, the headquarters of Liuzhou Hall was most likely located in this city.
Qin Sang pondered for a moment, then activated the jade pendant. His figure flickered and transformed into a gaunt young Taoist priest. He then took out a prepared mask artifact and put it on.
Confirming that there is nothing unusual outside, I push the door open.
Outside the Stone Gate lies a cliff.
As expected, he was taken to a deserted field.
The yellow grass is very deep.
Birds and beasts are calling.
There is a faint glow not far ahead.
Qin Sang was just about to leave when he heard a 'ka ka' sound behind him. He turned his head and saw a graceful Taoist priestess walking out from the cliff on the opposite side.
This person must have also disguised themselves. Their appearance is meaningless; they appear to be a Taoist nun, but their true gender is unknown.
As Qin Sang walked out of the secret passage, he sensed the fluctuations of the spirit array. He had entered the formation. When he activated his divine sense, he felt an unprecedented difficulty. His spiritual awareness was restricted by something intangible.
Please note that I removed the extra "" you had at the beginning and end of your input.
The Heavenly Eye Butterfly wasn't affected, but Qin Sang couldn't be sure if the Liuzhou Hall had secretly arranged countermeasures against this kind of divine ability.
>
Those who attended the Yibao meeting had extraordinary cultivation.
Even the slightest ripple caused by the Heaven's Eye Divine Ability wouldn't escape their spiritual perception. It's best to avoid taking risks and becoming a victim of everyone's misfortune.
Their eyes met, both were startled, then as if nothing had happened, they averted their gaze and deliberately moved apart, flying towards the light.

Please come closer.
Ahead lies a tranquil pool.
The surrounding grasses and trees of the secluded pool had been cleaned, and around the edge of the pool were placed some bamboo chairs and cushions. A few people sat scattered about, some arriving even earlier than him.
Within the secluded pool, countless koi shimmer and swirl, their tails flicking as they release pearls, illuminating the place with their brilliance.
The pearly sheen is not brilliant.
However, for Qin Sang and others, whether there was light or not made no difference.
Qin Sang and the Taoist priestess approached, and the few people sitting there noticed. Some glanced at them, while others continued to close their eyes in meditation. No one made any impolite gestures of peeking.
Here is the translation:

The Taoist nun sat down by herself.
I randomly found a cushion on the edge and sat down cross-legged. Qin Sang looked around but didn't see anyone from Liuzhou Hall.
After they sat down, the number of people arriving behind them suddenly increased, with constant whooshing sounds. In just a few dozen breaths, one after another Nascent Soul cultivators arrived, and most of the seats were filled.
So many people, yet they still manage to remain silent.
Some people came together in groups, and they only communicated in secret.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
'Bang!'
Suddenly, with a splash, a cloud of mist rose from the center of the secluded pool, catching everyone's attention.
Smoke rises from the ground, and a figure suddenly appears.
A white-haired elder stood on the water, his gaze sweeping across the room. He smiled and clasped his fists in a gesture of greeting, circling everyone before saying, “I am Jiang You, greetings to all fellow cultivators. There should be among you close friends of mine, Jiang, but at present, I find myself unable to recognize your esteemed identities. Due to the sudden circumstances and humble setting, any shortcomings may be regrettable. Please, fellow cultivators, do not take offense.”
Before he could finish his words, someone from the crowd chimed in with a playful remark: "Master Jiang's reputation precedes him. Everyone here knows who you are, do you really need to introduce yourself"
“Could it be that you, Daoist Jiang, are also in disguise I have heard that your Seven Paths Soul-Scattering Spear can track and ensnare souls. Why not demonstrate it to prove your true identity” Some people spoke with a strange and ambiguous tone.
Jiang You didn't seem offended, his smile remained unchanged: "All of you are extraordinary in your abilities. There is no disguise on me, I believe you can see through it with your sharp eyes. Among you, there must be a fellow cultivator whose gun skills surpass mine. It would be embarrassing to pretend otherwise..."
Qin Sang straightened her upper body.
The Six States Hall has two deputy hall masters, and above them is a mysterious hall master. Among the two deputy hall masters, Jiang Mu admires Jiang You the most, and Qin Sang has long heard of him.
And yet another person arrived.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Jiang You glanced at the sky and said in a deep voice, "The time has come, the Yibao meeting will begin now. For those fellow cultivators who haven't arrived yet, Jiang can only express regret."
With one hand forming a seal, he struck the void. The power of the formation suddenly converged, covering only the area near the secluded pool. Even the light here was blocked, forming a hidden zone.
There was a slight stir among the crowd, all of them quite surprised.
The more qualified people there are, the better.
>
Liuzhou Tang's approach is a bit too careful, isn't it Is this the employer's requirement
"Mr. Jiang, since you're only in charge of handling this, why are you showing your face Where is the actual head of the household I've been put around by him for so long, how much longer do I have to be kept in the dark"
The person speaking loudly had a low, gravelly voice and sounded discontent.
He came with another person and sat on the left. The person on the right was motionless with closed eyes, seemingly of a higher status.
“The master is among you. Jiang, under the instruction of others, presides over this matter. The master is generous and for this trade meet, will not take any commission. When the time is right, the master will appear himself. Please be patient, friends. This hall conducts business with an open door and strives to fulfill all your requirements. If you have any requests in the future, please don't hesitate.”
Jiang You explained the reason, and he still didn't forget to promote Liuzhou Tang.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked around at each other, feeling that anyone could be the host.
This was truly the strangest time they had ever participated in an Yibao Conference.
The master's name is hidden, he doesn't dare to show his face. Either his identity is very sensitive and he has many enemies, or the treasure he is about to trade is of great importance.
This, on the contrary, has made everyone quite expectant.
"The rules of the Yibao meeting, everyone should be aware of, there's no need for Jiang to elaborate. Now, I'll only say one thing: when exchanging items, once the host makes a move, under the same conditions, the host takes priority. Please don't let this lead to any ill will." Jiang reminded earnestly.
This is the normal rule, and there is no disagreement among people.
Jiang You nodded, raised his palm, and water surged on the surface of the pond, forming a platform. With a flick of his sleeve robe, three items appeared out of thin air. “Let me, Jiang, throw out a stone to invite jade. These are three treasures.”
He first pointed to the double rings on the left, "This is a special magic weapon, the Ying Yue Ring. It is unparalleled in sharpness and specializes in breaking through protective qi barriers. As for its other abilities, they are hard to describe. In a moment, Jiang will release a bit of its restrictions, and you can all use your divine sense to investigate."
In the middle is a bead.
>
Qin Sang looked at it a few times, wasn't this the Soul Orb that Bai had obtained when hunting down the Corpse King back then
>
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Soul Reaper's orb is greenish-black on the outside, with condensed soul energy inside. It occasionally manifests a terrifying face within, though it's far less potent than the white one.
"This is a Corpse King at the Yuan Ying stage. It's a pity that the Soul Pearl was covered in dust for many years before we found it, and its power has been weakened. For cultivators of the Corpse Ghost Dao, it is still a rare treasure."
The third item was a turquoise crystal. Its blue light shimmered, transforming into a whirlwind of spectacle, giving off a sense of lightness. It would be very beneficial for cultivating the magical powers of wind control.
“Three treasures, exchange for the artifacts of the Five Elements Dao, or other easily circulating treasures. You can also trade with spirit stones, starting price of 10,000, each increase not less than 10,000,” Jiang You announced the terms.
As expected, this was a good starting point.
>
The three treasures themselves weren't cheap, but their range of use was a bit narrow. The most precious Soul Gem, because its power had diminished, couldn't fetch a high price.
As for spirit stones, just listen to it. This kind of easy treasure will appear on the market, and it is basically impossible to have a spirit stone transaction.
Qin Sang gazed at the moon reflected in his hand, his Ruyi Orb a defensive treasure similar to a magical shield. Never had he imagined that the first treasure he encountered would be effective against him.
To be honest, I've been following more recently, switching sources and changing readings. There are many voices to choose from. The .huanyuanapp is available for both Android and Apple.
Such magic treasures were not uncommon in the cultivation world. Qin Sang couldn't possibly grab them all. With his spiritual treasure and the sun god tree, as long as he could hit, an extra Moon Reflection Ring wouldn't be of much help.
By comparison, he was more interested in the Soul Society.
Back then, Bai had already refined the Soul Orb and advanced.
...Ke Yagu's spiritual intelligence has not yet recovered, Qin Sang cannot communicate with her directly. Otherwise, buying a Soul Orb and helping Ke Yagu refine it would definitely bring him great benefits.
After some deliberation, Qin Sang still did not make a move.
The mute woman's lifespan exceeded normal limits, but before she fell into slumber, she was only at the Qi Refining stage. Forcibly refining a Nascent Soul-stage Corpse Spirit Orb, no one knew what consequences this might bring.
Still searching for Ghost Mother and hoping that Fat Silkworm will advance further.
In the end, all three treasures were taken away in exchange for magical artifacts.
>
Jiang You's face was full of smiles as he flashed to the edge of the pool, "Ladies and gentlemen, please begin."
Before the words had left his mouth, a figure dashed out from the front row seat and took the lead. "Haha... This old man is a bit impatient, don't mind me! Now, take a good look. This is a Soil Yuan Pearl, carefully cultivated by this old man in a place where earth energy converges for many years using his profound skills. It's meant to assist cultivators of Earthly Path techniques who refine this pearl, with the effect being more pronounced the lower their realm... In exchange, I want a live Earth Spirit in the Nascent Soul stage."
A moment of silence.
Many coveted this treasure, but none could fulfill the elder's requirements. Those who proposed alternative conditions were all rejected by him.
The old man's face showed disappointment, and he seemed about to turn back.
At this time, the armored warrior sitting on Qin Sang's right suddenly spoke, "I don't have a living earth spirit, but a hundred years ago I saw a group. There should be an earth spirit leader there. This place is remote, and ordinary earth spirits won't move their nests, so they must still be in the original place. After the Yi Bao ends, I will personally take you there to help you capture the earth spirit... How about it"
The elder was overjoyed, "Yes!"
The two communicated silently, whispering to each other about what they were planning in secret.
The elder, satisfied, flew back to his seat, and immediately a line formed to take his place.
Next, some people returned laden with goods, just like the old man, but others returned empty-handed.

By this point in their journey, Qin Sang truly felt the vastness of Zhongzhou.
Here's the translation:
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
Most of them are various kinds of rare spiritual materials.
Rare treasures appear one after another, many of which are from the North Sea and rare or even extinct items, surpassing the previous Wanmo Grand Assembly by more than a level.
If Qin Sang hadn't had a clear goal, he would have made his move several times already.
Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!
There are also some that Qin Sang has never even heard of, so he can't judge their value.
Treasures rarely appear at trade fairs.
After all, the cultivators present were not short of top-grade magic treasures.
But surprisingly, someone brought out a fake spiritual treasure, and it wasn't the person's own natal magic treasure, which could be normally cultivated by others!
Qin Sang needed to improve on too many aspects, placing the art of refining weaponry last. After entering Zhongzhou, he didn't specifically investigate Zhongzhou's refining legacy.
As expected, there are even more profound forging techniques in Zhongzhou!
This matter was soon confirmed.
“The secret art of refining equipment, *Guiling Zhishu*, can refine fake spirit treasures and does not require a natal magic treasure,” a cyan-robed Taoist floated into the pool, taking out a jade slip.
Before he could announce the conditions, a surprised voice rang out from below, "Soul Confinement Technique But that's one of the three major inheritances of Xuanqishan, an ancient sect in the South Sea"
"Good!" the Daoist smiled and nodded.
"Having acquired the *Gu Ling Zhi Shu*, one can refine spirit treasures! A thousand years ago, the Qiong Ying Men discovered the ruins of Xuanqi Mountain on the coast of the South China Sea. They obtained half of the treasures, and it is said that a fragment of the *Gu Ling Zhi Shu* also fell into their hands. Could it be that fellow Daoist possesses the complete *Gu Ling Zhi Shu*" The man continued to ask.
"Not so," the Daoist shook his head, "The poor Dao also has only a fragment in hand. As for whether it is the same as the portion of the Qiongying Gate, the poor Dao does not know. The poor Dao can offer my own insights, but I cannot refine genuine spiritual treasures, only pseudo-spiritual treasures."
>
That man chuckled, “Fake spiritual treasures will do. Spiritual treasures are not something we can even consider, is it difficult to become a deity”
The forging of a spiritual treasure is no easy feat, it takes more than just days or months, and the effort cannot be accomplished by a single person.
The two sang in harmony, making it hard not to wonder if they had rehearsed beforehand.

After a moment of silence.
A female cultivator's voice rang out during the meal.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
“What would you like to exchange for the Spirit-Binding Art”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Qingyi Daoist's eyes lit up, and he blurted out dozens of extremely rare heaven and earth treasures, leaving everyone speechless. He then said, "Fellow Daoist, you only need to provide three of them."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The female cultivator fell silent for a moment before asking, "Three kinds of heaven and earth treasures in exchange for a fragment of the scripture The conditions are too harsh! Why doesn't fellow Daoist go directly to Qiongying Gate to trade"
The Qingyi Daoist remained silent.
The female cultivator did not press further and said, “I want to see the contents of the secret art first.”
“Sounds good!”
The Blue-Robed Daoist looked at Jiang You.
Jiang You struck out a seal, nodding slightly.
A wisp of divine consciousness silently probed into the jade slip.
Qin Sang looked at the jade slip, feeling quite moved.
But not now.

The female cultivator took out three jade boxes and threw them into the water pool. The Taoist priest in blue robes checked each one, his face filled with delight. He hurled a jade slip towards the female cultivator and returned to his seat.
Then, people went back and forth.
Still, there was no sign of the master, nor any of the powerful artifacts Qin Sang had anticipated.
Qin Sang secretly took out the Yin-Yang Puppet Crystal and stood up.e to invite everyone and make a big fuss about clearing out the monsters, just for a few spirit flowers, the cost would be too high. It wouldn't be worth it!"Qin Sang feigned a dejected tone, "What pr...
