Inquiry about immortality

Chapter 2244 Imitation

Having realized the benefits of the chapter on the harmony of water and fire, Qin Sang and Master Tongshen have been searching for other chapters of the Great Theory of the Correspondence of Yin and Yang.

After the Golden Eagle was killed by Qin Sang, the items it obtained from the cave fell into the hands of Master Tongshen. Master Tongshen took great pains to find some seemingly plausible clues, but they all came to nothing after investigation.

The clues have been cut off since then, and Qin Sang now sees a glimmer of hope, so naturally he doesn't want to miss it.

"Big Brother, you were too impulsive this time," Qin Sang looked at Qing Yan and spoke bluntly.

There was a reason why Master Tongshen asked his second disciple Qinghong to take over the mountain gate on his behalf.

Qing Yan lowered his head and said ashamedly: "From now on, I will listen to you, Junior Brother. I will do whatever you tell me to do!"

Qin Sang shook his head, "From now on, when Master is not around, Senior Sister Qinghong will be in charge of all matters concerning the sect."

"How can this be possible? Junior brother should be the one making the decision..."

Qinghong refused again and again.

In the world of cultivating immortals, strength is respected and only the most capable ones will be in power.

"It is precisely because of my high talent that I cannot waste my time on worldly affairs. Master must think so too! From now on, Senior Sister Shuang will assist Senior Sister, and Big Brother and I will be the solid backing behind Senior Sister."

Qin Sang determined the future structure of the sect with just one sentence. This was equivalent to performing the duties of Master Tongshen, but Qing Yan and the other two did not think that he was overstepping his authority, and they believed that Master Tongshen would definitely agree.

After casually arranging his master's affairs, Qin Sang seemed to have put the recent turmoil behind him and returned to his own fire room.

As a Nascent Soul cultivator, this fire room seemed a bit shabby.

Qin Sang was well prepared. He re-engraved the runes, arranged the formation, and transformed the fire chamber. It soon looked brand new.

Fire room.

The earth fire has been tempered through layers of restrictions and has become extremely pure.

Qin Sang took out various spiritual materials, activated the infant fire, and combined them with the earth fire to temper them one by one.

According to common sense, with Qin Sang's attainments in the art of refining, it should be very easy to refine spiritual materials of this level. But during the refining process, Qin Sang had to stop from time to time, frowning and thinking, and sometimes even refined the spiritual materials to waste and had to start over.

Fortunately, he had prepared enough spiritual materials and there was no need to worry about waste.

After spending many times the usual time, Qin Sang finally finished refining the last spiritual material. He exhaled a breath, looked at the clusters of spiritual material essence in front of him, and fell into deep thought again.

There was a constant flicker of spiritual light in his eyes, and then he attracted the essence of a spiritual material and threw it into the fire. He did this again and again, his movements were intermittent, and he was actually refining and deducing at the same time.

An unknown amount of time had passed, but all that was left in front of Qin Sang was a blazing flame and something like magma in the flame.

The 'magma' was divided into two parts, and then the two 'magma' showed completely different characteristics.

The flame on the surface of one of the magmas began to change, from red to light blue, like a cold flame, and the magma also cooled down and lost its original brightness. The other magma became hotter and hotter, forming a sharp contrast.

Then, both balls of 'magma' began to shrink inwards, and the flames on the surface were sucked into the interior.

Gradually, the 'magma' became smaller and smaller, only the size of a chess piece, and finally it actually turned into two chess pieces, flying around each other and slowly drifting towards Qin Sang.

Qin Sang raised his hand and caught the two chess pieces, one warm and one cold.

This was exactly the magic weapon he had refined for himself in the illusion. He did not choose the sword he was most familiar with, but instead refined two chess pieces based on his understanding of water, fire, yin and yang, imitating the black and white chess pieces.

Qin Sang's foundation of Taoism is the combination of water and fire, so it is very different from the black and white chess pieces. The two chess pieces are not one black and one white, but one blue and one red.

The blue chess piece looks like a piece of ice, and the red chess piece has flames burning on its surface.

"Let's call you Water and Fire Chess Pieces."

Qin Sang murmured.

These two chess pieces are the crystallization of his summary of the principle of the balance between water and fire. At the same time, they can also help him continue to comprehend this principle, and even comprehend the black and white chess pieces in the future.

The theory of Yin and Yang is profound and extensive. Once Qin Sang returns to the real world, it will be difficult for him to spare time to practice this art. He can only take advantage of this illusion to lay a foundation for the future.

"What a shame... Well, not bad..."

Qin Sang sensed the power of the water and fire chess pieces and made two completely different evaluations.

Unfortunately, the water and fire chess pieces only imitate a small part of the charm of the black and white chess pieces.

However, the power of the water and fire chess pieces is satisfactory enough. If Qin Sang can refine the water and fire chess pieces before returning to the mountain gate, he will be able to defeat the Tianjing Sect master without using any tricks.

Putting away the water and fire chess pieces, Qin Sang walked out of the fire room and came to the master's hall.

When Qinghong learned that he had come out of seclusion, he also rushed over, along with others including the old man named Zhou who had received a talisman and rushed to help.

"Senior Zhou."

Qin Sang is very polite.

The old man surnamed Zhou looked at Qin Sang and sighed: "Young people are really to be feared! Qingfeng, you are already my fellow Taoist, why not call me a fellow Taoist."

"Senior Zhou and Master are close friends, and I dare not overstep my authority," Qin Sang said modestly.

At this time, Qinghong handed him a jade slip, which contained information related to Tianjing Sect.

Judging from these records alone, the Tianjing Sect had no intention of expanding to the Qingtuo River. Why they intervened and framed Yuanjing Mountain remains a mystery.

"During the time I was in seclusion, has there been any unusual movement in the Qingjiang Sect?"

Qin Sang asked.

Qing Hong said: "The Qingjiang Sect has massively reduced its power and has completely withdrawn to the upper reaches. You Chen and the elders of the Qingjiang Sect have all retreated to the mountain gate. I don't know what they are planning."

Qin Sang nodded and said to the old man surnamed Zhou, "I plan to go down the mountain now. Senior Zhou, please stay at the mountain gate."

"No problem. I don't have anything important to do. It doesn't matter where I practice," the old man surnamed Zhou agreed readily.

"Junior brother, be careful when you go down the mountain this time, and don't be too aggressive. You must remember that your safety is the most important to our sect. As long as you are still here, even if our sect is defeated and we all die, there will be a day when we can revive our sect."

Qing Hong sent Qin Sang out of the mountain gate and said in a deep voice.

Qin Sang sensed the change in Senior Sister Qinghong's temperament. Her exhortations were no longer as playful as before. Of course, Qinghong's concern for him had not diminished in the slightest. She had just become more reserved and had more and more dignity as the head of the sect.

"Senior Brother needs to heal his wounds, and Junior Sister Shuang is in seclusion. I didn't wake them up. Do you have anything you want me to tell them?" Qing Hong asked.

"wait me back."

Qin Sang left four words and flew away.

After watching Qin Sang leave, Qinghong turned back to the mountain gate and saw Shuangluo standing alone on the edge of the cliff, staring outside the mountain with worry in his eyes.

"What a disaster!"

Qing Hong gritted his teeth, sighed softly, and asked, "Since Junior Sister has come out of seclusion, why don't you go and see Junior Brother off?"

Shuangluo bit her lips lightly and shook her head slightly.

……

Before Yuan Jingshan arrived, the Qingjiang Sect was the largest sect in the Qingtuo River Basin.

The gate of the Qingjiang Sect was built on the bank of the Qingtuo River. The sect's protective formation formed water mist, covering a section of the river and dozens of nearby mountains, making it look very mysterious from the outside.

Things are different now. The atmosphere around the Qingjiang faction is tense and security is tight.

However, no matter how strict the guard was or how sophisticated the detection methods were, they failed to discover that an uninvited guest had been lingering outside the mountain gate for several days.

"It seems that the man surnamed Chen is still in the Qingjiang Sect and will not leave for a while..."

By the river, Qin Sang sat cross-legged under a tree, looking at the Qingjiang Sect in the distance with a pensive look on his face.

He actually had a way to infiltrate the Qingjiang faction, but he didn't do so. Once he touched the Qingjiang faction, his intentions would be exposed, which would be detrimental to his subsequent actions.

Combining Yuan Jingshan's intelligence and various clues, Qin Sang has been able to determine the whereabouts of Chen Yuze and others.

After taking a deep look at the Qingjiang Sect, Qin Sang quietly retreated, found a quiet place, set up a large formation, gathered starlight, and continued to practice "The Heavenly Demon Refining Form".

While practicing his skills, Qin Sang kept his eyes on the sky, but the calling voice did not come.

"Did that voice just disappear like that?"

Qin Sang was a little surprised, as he hadn't figured out the origin of the calling voice.

Recalling the situation when the calling voice was interrupted, the owner of the voice may have encountered some kind of accident, such as being attacked by a powerful enemy.

Qin Sang had no idea whether this was good or bad for him, so he could only concentrate on practicing "The Heavenly Demon Form Refining" and take things one step at a time.

The good news is that although the calling voice disappeared, his cultivation speed was not affected. From then on, Qin Sang's cultivation speed could be described as advancing by leaps and bounds.

The early stage of the third level, the middle stage of the third level...

In just over a month, Qin Sang entered the late third level, which was like a dream, making others envious.

He did not stop and continued to practice, finally reaching the peak of the third level. He was only one step away from breaking through and comprehending the Heavenly Demon's Dharma.

For Qin Sang, this step was easy, but he suddenly stopped and looked up at the night sky.

That voice has not appeared again since then.

The stars are blinking and the night sky is quiet.

Qin Sang didn’t know if it was a psychological factor, but he vaguely felt that the starry sky seemed to be filled with an unsettling atmosphere.

No matter what, this step has to be taken. Qin Sang put away his distracting thoughts and condensed the virtual image of the Dharma.

Speaking of which, this is another major difference between "The Heavenly Demon Refining Form" and other demon skills.

Among all the martial arts Qin Sang had seen, there was no other one like "The Heavenly Demon Refining Form", which involved the way of Dharma as soon as it entered the transformation period.

Even though it is only a virtual shadow of the Dharma, and the master cannot control it, if other demon cultivators knew about it, they would certainly be shocked.

The process of breakthrough was uneventful. Qin Sang entered the fourth level of "Heavenly Demon Refining Form" and re-understood the Dharma Shadow, which was much more solid than before. In addition, the Dharma Shadow had a bit more charm and agility that it didn't have before. Qingluan's eyes flashed with strange brilliance, as if it could spread its wings and fly at any time.

"That voice hasn't appeared yet. It seems something unexpected has happened..."

Qin Sang thought to himself as he saw that the night sky was still as quiet as before.

But he didn't dare to take it lightly, especially the changes that happened to Qingluan Dharmakaya, which made Qin Sang even more wary.

It was clearly the Dharmakāya that he himself had comprehended, but when Qin Sang concentrated his mind and focused on the eyes of the Dharmakāya, he felt as if someone was looking at him.

It seemed that there was another Qingluan and another consciousness hidden within the body of the Qingluan Dharmakāya!

Qin Sang's thoughts were surging, and he thought of various possibilities, such as that there was a certain existence parasitic on Qingluan Dharmakaya.

Could it be possible that the other party could take over the magpie's nest and resurrect with the help of the Qingluan Dharma?

The Qingluan Dharmakāya was conceived by Qin Sang himself. The remaining soul of the Qingluan at that time had already disappeared, but if you look into it carefully, it was not entirely Qin Sang's own strength that comprehended the Qingluan Dharmakāya, but he also used the help of an external force.

The power of stars!

Starlight!

Weird Dharma images, and unreasonable cultivation speed...

Could it be that something is seeping into my body subtly through the starlight, and I am completely unaware?

This is too horrifying!

Qin Sang frowned deeply and urged his spiritual sense to scan his entire body and the phantom of the Dharma image over and over again. Apart from that, everything was normal.

Now it was just a shadow of the Dharma image. If Qin Sang continued to practice, he should be able to condense the real Dharma image earlier than before. At this speed of practice, it would probably take less than a year.

Now, the phantom of the Dharma image has little influence on the original body, but at the moment when the Qingluan Dharma image is born, will there be unexpected changes, such as the guest becoming the host?

Qin Sang felt his scalp tingling when he thought of certain scenarios. If he was not prepared when that day came, he would regret it.

At this time, Qin Sang wanted the calling voice to come sooner, and it would be best if he could communicate with the other party directly. The unknown is the most terrifying. Only when you know the other party's purpose, you will know how to defend yourself.

Now, there is only one word - wait!

Wait until the calling voice returns, or wait until you return to the Spirit Transformation Stage, then consider upgrading "Heavenly Demon Refining Form".

Our current strength is enough to handle most situations.

After removing the formation, Qin Sang returned to Qingjiang Sect again, wandered around the mountain gate for a while, and then floated away again.

……

"Qi Bo, the leader of the Qingjiang Sect keeps shirking his responsibilities. Could it be that he wants to turn against us?"

Chen Yuze, Qi Bo and two maids were riding on a bamboo leaf-shaped flying magical instrument, flying slowly in the sky.

Whenever he thought of Qin Sang and the two beauties, and how embarrassed he was in front of them, Chen Yuze's hatred would deepen. These days, they stayed in the Qingjiang Sect, but the leader of the Qingjiang Sect refused to follow their requests, which made Chen Yuze furious.

Qi Bo said: "The die is cast. The Qingjiang Sect and Yuan Jingshan have already formed a great hatred. It is not something he can resolve just because he wants to. Moreover, if he turns against us now, he will offend us again. He is not that stupid. However, he does lack courage, otherwise he would not sit idly by and watch Yuan Jingshan grow stronger and cede half of the Qingtuo River. I am afraid that he will only feel at ease if the master makes a promise in person."

"I don't know how my father will punish me when I get back."

Chen Yuze tapped his forehead with his folding fan and felt a severe headache.

"It's all my fault..."

Qi Bo's expression suddenly became stern. He stood up abruptly, glanced around, and his face changed color.

"How dare you, fellow Daoist, set up a formation here to block our way! The gate of our Tianjing Sect is just ahead. You are so bold!"

Qi Bo stopped the bamboo leaf magic weapon and shouted loudly.

The sound was like thunder, shaking the heaven and earth, but it could not be heard far away.

The surrounding mountains actually began to move. Each mountain peak was like a chess piece, with the earth as the chessboard, forming an extremely grand formation.

Chen Yuze and the two maids then realized that they had fallen into a large formation! (End of this chapter)
