Inquiry about immortality

Chapter 2249: Kill all the way

"The Great Treatise on the Correspondence of Yin and Yang" and "The Theory on the Regulation of the Spirit by the Four Qi" should be the methods created by the cultivators of the human race, but "The Theory on the Regulation of the Spirit by the Four Qi" believes that the great way of Yin and Yang is the foundation of the world, and all living beings in the world are in it, and this technique focuses on "harmony" rather than practice, so both humans and demons can practice this technique.

It is no wonder that clan leader Jin Xiao has achieved such success.

However, "The Theory of Four Qi to Regulate the Spirit" has a drawback, as the jade tablet is incomplete, a lot of the content inside is also missing. Clan leader Jin Xiao has been comprehending for many years and barely made up for the missing parts. Due to the limitations of his cultivation and vision, he cannot compare with the original version, so problems are inevitable when practicing.

The most serious incident was the last time. It was extremely easy for him to break through the bottleneck, but before his cultivation could become stable, hidden dangers suddenly erupted and almost caused his foundation to collapse.

A regression in cultivation is a minor matter, but in serious cases it may even cause the practitioner's body to explode and die, leaving his body and soul to be destroyed!

The clan leader Jin Xiao responded in time and luckily escaped the disaster, but he spent a lot of money to heal his wounds. Although he knew that this technique was extremely mysterious, he did not dare to continue practicing it, nor did he pass it on to his confidants.

Next, clan leader Jin Xiao kept looking for the missing part of the jade token and investigating the origin of "The Theory of Four Qi to Regulate the Spirit", but with little success.

He speculated that the creator of this technique was a human cultivator, so he volunteered to go to the front line, hoping to start with the human race and find a sect that had this inheritance. Unexpectedly, he failed to find any clues among the human race, but after meeting a cultivator from the Golden Eagle Clan, he found out about the cave.

After that, clan leader Jin Xiao frequently contacted the Golden Eagle monks who had explored the cave, and bought the treasures they brought out of the cave, in the hope of obtaining the other half of the "Theory of Four Qi to Regulate the Spirit".

He was willing to pay a high price, and most of the Golden Eagle Clan monks were willing to trade with him, but there were a few who were unwilling to sell, and these people had high status in the Golden Eagle Clan and had strong forces behind them, so it was not easy to kill them directly. In addition, he also found out that the first person to discover this cave was a human cultivator, and some of the treasures fell into the hands of Master Tongshen and others.

So he lobbied those Golden Eagle monks while planning to seize the treasures from Master Tongshen and others. However, before his plan was completed, he fell into Qin Sang's hands.

Qin Sang took out another jade slip from the mustard seed magic weapon, which recorded the part that clan leader Jin Xiao had deduced himself.

Firstly, Qin Sang's true realm far surpassed Jin Xiao's, and secondly, Qin Sang's understanding of the way of yin and yang was not comparable to Jin Xiao's. He saw several problems at a glance. However, if Qin Sang wanted to repair this technique and reach the level of the original, it would be extremely difficult.

Although it was only a fragment, I finally found a clue.

I wonder if the "Theory of the Four Qis to Regulate the Spirit" is also a part of the "Theory of the Yin and Yang Correspondence" just like the "Water and Fire Mutual Benefit" chapter. If the two theories are of equal status, it is hard to imagine what a huge work the complete secret book would be!

Just based on the chapter on the harmony of water and fire and most of the "Theory of the Four Qi to Regulate the Spirit", Qin Sang could not help but marvel at its profoundness.

Then, Qin Sang took out all the treasures that Jin Xiao had bought from the Golden Eagle cultivators and checked them one by one.

All the spoils he seized when he killed the Golden Eagle were returned to him by Master Tongshen before he went into seclusion. Qin Sang tried to piece these treasures together, but unfortunately there were not many surprises.

Looking at the treasures on the ground, Qin Sang fell into deep thought.

He now has two options. One is to find those Golden Eagle monks and retrieve all the treasures that have flowed out of the cave. Perhaps there will be new discoveries.

The second option is to go to the place where Jin Xiao got the "Four Qi to Regulate the Spirit". Maybe there are places that Jin Xiao overlooked. But Jin Xiao has been back many times and turned the place upside down, so this possibility is not high.

"It looks like we have to go to Lingkong Mountain..."

Qin Sang thought to himself and looked towards the direction of the poisonous swamp.

There was a lot of noise there. It should be that Jin Xiao and other fellow monsters discovered something was wrong and came looking for them.

Jin Xiao only revealed the whole story to a few of his confidants, as they were all caught by Qin Sang in the poisonous swamp. No one knew the identity of the murderer, so there was no need to waste time to eradicate the murderer.

Qin Sang picked up the items on the ground and left.

……

Near a demon camp.

Two beams of light shuttled through the clouds like sharp arrows. They were as fast as lightning and were flying towards the demon camp.

These are two Golden Eagle monks. They have just completed a mission and returned to report.

Suddenly, one of the escaping lights stopped abruptly, revealing a majestic goshawk.

Its companion also stopped, "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing! I seem to sense the presence of an old friend nearby..."

It shook its head, its eyes flickering, and took out a bag and handed it to its companion, "Take them back and report first. I haven't seen this old friend for many years. It's a good opportunity to meet and reminisce about the past."

"Aren't you afraid that I'll take the reward for myself?"

The companion made a joke, took the pocket without asking any questions, and walked away.

After watching his companions leave, the Golden Eagle monk fell rapidly towards a nearby mountain. He immediately saw a strange man with blue phoenix wings. A warning light flashed in his eyes, "Who are you?"

"The talisman letter you just received was sent by me," Qin Sang bowed and explained, "I am in the same camp with Chief Jin Xiao, and we are close friends. I happened to be passing through here on a mission, so Chief Jin Xiao asked me to come and visit you."

The Golden Eagle Clan monk's expression eased slightly, but he was still on guard. "Since it asked you to see me, does it have everything?"

"Of course it is complete."

Qin Sang took out a wooden box and said, "The Earth Unicorn Stone, Phoenix Fairy Cream, and Qionghua Jade Crystal are all inside. Please have a look, fellow Taoist."

These were exactly the conditions he negotiated with Jin Xiao.

Seeing that they all matched, the Golden Eagle cultivator's guard dropped a little. He raised his hand to grab it, but Qin Sang suddenly took the wooden box back.

"Did you forget something, fellow Daoist?"

The Golden Eagle Clan monk smiled awkwardly and took out a few items from the mustard seed magic weapon. "The treasures are all here, fellow Taoist, please take a look."

Afterwards, both sides checked each other's things at the same time. The Golden Eagle monk took the wooden box and just opened a gap when a dazzling light suddenly burst out and he felt severe pain in his eyes.

"you……"

He only had time to let out a scream before he was swallowed by the light.

A moment later, Qin Sang wiped off all traces of the battlefield and walked away.

After a while, his companions felt something was wrong after waiting for a long time, so they came to check, but they could not find any clues. They circled around the area for a few times and returned empty-handed.

Jin Xiao was afraid of the power of the Golden Eagle Clan and was hesitant to kill them directly. He had been seeking to make a deal with them, otherwise, if he was found out, the loss would outweigh the gain.

Qin Sang didn't have so many concerns. Killing the monster and taking the treasure directly was undoubtedly the fastest way.

Back then, the Golden Eagle cultivators who participated in the division were basically at the Transformation Stage, so Qin Sang could easily deal with them. Only one of them later had a breakthrough and his cultivation level was equal to Jin Xiao, so it took some effort for Qin Sang to deal with them.

……

The western foot of Lingkong Mountain.

This area is more barren than other parts of the mountains. It is a rare place for spiritual practice and is divided up by several powerful Golden Eagles.

A few years ago, one of the powerful men of the Golden Eagle tribe made great progress in his cultivation, and he overcame all the monsters in one fell swoop and dominated this place. The cave of this powerful man of the Golden Eagle tribe is located in a large swamp. The island is misty and hazy, with lush water and grass, like a paradise.

He is an outlier in his clan. Not only does he like to change into human form, he also has several female human cultivators among his concubines. Even the maids who serve them are carefully selected human girls.

The layout of the Taoist temple is similar to that of humans, with neatly built houses, pavilions and towers. Humans are often seen coming and going, but the golden eagles of this tribe are rarely seen.

"Husband, a secret letter flew in from outside."

A beautiful female cultivator hurriedly flew to the top of the mountain.

There is a pavilion built on the top of the mountain. The pavilion is extremely high, reaching up to the sky. Standing on it, it seems as if you can pick the stars directly from the sky.

The female cultivator did not dare to trespass and violate the prohibition, so she held the secret letter in both hands and waited respectfully in front of the building.

A moment later, a golden light descended from the sky, and the female cultivator felt her hand lighten, as the secret letter was taken away.

"Humph! It's him again!"

At some point, a young man appeared in front of the female cultivator.

The man was very handsome, with almost no Golden Eagle characteristics visible on him.

Seeing him, the female cultivator couldn't help but reveal an infatuated expression, "Husband, who are you talking about?"

"Who else could it be other than that Jin Xiao? Back then, my husband and Brother Wu and the others explored a cave together, but we only got some things in the end and had long forgotten about them. Some time ago, this Jin Xiao suddenly contacted my husband through Brother Wu and repeatedly proposed to buy the property, but my husband rejected him. Unexpectedly, he came to my door in person today!"

The man crushed the secret letter and squinted his eyes looking outside the island.

"That person is so persistent. What treasure is inside? My husband, please don't give it to him easily," the female cultivator said nervously.

The man chuckled, "If you can think of this, how can I not think of it? But I have checked it over and over again many times, and there is nothing that can be called a treasure."

The female cultivator asked curiously, "Then why is he so reluctant to leave?"

"I'm afraid it's related to the inheritance in that cave. I heard from Brother Wu that although the inheritance was left by a powerful human, it seems to be quite interesting. Unfortunately, we didn't get the key thing. That guy might have discovered something. I'm a little curious. Let's leave him alone for now, and then I'll go see him!"

After saying that, the man laughed slyly, put his arm around the female cultivator's slender waist, and turned to enter the pavilion.

Another island.

Qin Sang casually built a stone pavilion and waited in it. The other party did not respond for a long time, but he was not in a hurry.

Until the sun sets, golden waves sprinkled on the lake, and finally a figure slowly flew over the horizon, landed in front of the pavilion, and laughed loudly: "I am in retreat, and just saw the talisman. I am sorry to have kept the Jinxiao tribe waiting for a long time!"

"I am sorry to disturb you, fellow Taoist," Qin Sang extended his hand and said, "Please take a seat!"

The man nodded, making sure there was nothing unusual around him, then walked into the pavilion and looked at Qin Sang carefully, frowning slightly, "Are you really the leader of the Jinxiao clan?"

"No."

Qin Sang uttered two words softly.

"He Fang Xiaoxiao!"

The man's face turned pale with anger, and he subconsciously wanted to leave the pavilion.

"late!"

Qin Sang remained unmoved and sat upright like a bell.

Suddenly, the stone pavilion collapsed and the sky around it darkened. The man then realized that he had entered a palace without knowing when, and the enemy had disappeared.

This was the spiritual formation that Qin Sang carefully refined for the head of Tianjing Sect, Chen, and it was used on Jin Xiao and this demon cultivator.

With Qin Sang's ability, the two demons had no hope at all. The man's counterattacks were blocked by Qin Sang one by one, and he was unable to break through the spirit formation. In the end, he was trapped in the death formation and died with hatred.

Qin Sang did not waste his time trying to capture the monster alive. He had killed his way here. This was his last target, and he already knew everything he needed to know.

After killing the monster, Qin Sang was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he wandered around the men's dojo, spreading his spiritual sense and scanning the humans living there.

The humans living in the Golden Eagle tribe are roughly concentrated in three areas.

The place where the gate of Yuanjing Mountain is located is the largest. Because this demon cultivator likes humans, he also raises some humans in his territory.

Before coming, Qin Sang took the trouble to inspect all these areas.

He was thinking, since he had landed here, would Liuli and others who were also human beings be nearby? Qin Sang had not dared to come back before because of his lack of strength, so he naturally had to look carefully now.

Many years ago, Qin Sang had contacted all the female cultivators who left here and moved to Yongtu Fairy City, but unfortunately he did not find anyone who looked like Liuli.

Thinking about her original situation, Liuli might not be able to obtain immortality here, and might still be a mortal now.

Qin Sang searched everywhere but found nothing.

He turned the ring on his hand and began to doubt his previous speculation. Could it be that he was the only one who brought things from reality in? Otherwise, why didn't he see any familiar people or things in Yongtu Fairy City for such a long time?

His strength has recovered a lot, but he still doesn't know where to break through!

"Is it in heaven?"

Qin Sang couldn't help but think of that strange calling voice.

After escaping from the swamp, Qin Sang randomly found an unnamed mountain. His hard work paid off, as he collected all the treasures that had been lost from the cave.

Qin Sang used his finger as a sword and flattened the top of the mountain. He took out the treasures and spread them all over the ground, which was dazzling.

Based on other people's descriptions, he imagined the layout of the cave and put the treasures back in place one by one, paying special attention to the items placed near the "Theory of the Correspondence of Yin and Yang".

After some investigation, there were still not many clues.

Qin Sang was not discouraged. He looked at the treasures he had carefully selected, then screened them again, leaving only three.

Finally, Qin Sang's eyes fell on one of the treasures, which was a two-handled porcelain vase with landscapes carved on the body. The painting was just ordinary, and as a magic weapon, its power was also ordinary.

But Qin Sang always felt that this porcelain bottle was a little strange. This feeling had no reason. It was his intuition and he couldn't explain it.

Qin Sang picked up the porcelain bottle, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, summoning the stone fire in his body.

When the flame touched the porcelain vase, it was immediately sucked into the bottle body. Then wisps of white smoke emerged from the mouth of the bottle. The white smoke condensed and did not dissipate, as if it was about to transform into some pattern.

"I see!"

Qin Sang showed joy.

That senior didn't take the Stone Embryo Fire back then, but he took a wisp of its aura and melted it into a porcelain bottle as a 'key'. Only the person who subdued the Stone Embryo Fire could trigger this change. (End of this chapter)
