Chapter 2304: Holy Pass
"It is said that the great teleportation formations between the eight heavenly states were all created by the Jade Emperor, laying the foundation for the prosperity of the human race. It is no wonder that they have such a status today..."
Qin Sang, Lian Xue and others returned to the city.
Lian Xue said: "Senior, the next city is Guangsha City."
"Oh? Is it one of the three most trusted forces of the Witch Clan?" Qin Sang said.
Lianxue nodded and whispered, "From here to the west, there are temples everywhere, and the fairy city is built next to the Buddhist temple. There is a temple next to Guangsha City. It is said that the mastermind behind the scenes is actually a monk in the temple, and the Lord of Guangsha City is just a puppet."
"What kind of treasures does Guangsha City mainly sell from the Wu Clan?"
"Most of them are related to the way of spiritual insects," Lian Xue said, "It is said that the art of controlling insects originated from the Wu Clan. Many clans of the Wu Clan have their own unique methods. The forces that have dealings with the Wu Clan are more or less involved in the way of controlling insects, but Guangsha City is the most famous. Many powerful people who raise spiritual insects are honored guests of Guangsha City."
"Insect control?"
Qin Sang's heart moved when he heard this. The purpose of his trip was to visit the Ghost Mother and find an opportunity for the Tianmu Butterfly to transform into the Seven-Transformation Void Butterfly.
The Tianmu Butterfly is still in the middle of the sixth transformation and is still a long way from the seventh transformation. The most important thing now is to catch up with its master, and the fastest way is to feed it elixirs.
If Guangsha City can provide this kind of elixir, you might as well go and meet the Lord of Guangsha City and learn about the Witch Clan.
Lian Xue was overjoyed to hear that Qin Sang was interested in visiting the Lord of Guangsha City. "I happen to know a deacon from Guangsha City. I will introduce him to you when I arrive in Guangsha City."
The crowd did not stay any longer and headed straight for the Teleportation Hall. Seeing flashing lights and shadows before their eyes, they entered the territory of Guangsha City.
Lianxue was familiar with the place, so she rented a cave, asked Qin Sang to wait there for a while, and left in a hurry.
Not long after, Lianxue brought in a middle-aged monk. This man had a kind face and looked like a Buddha. When he put on the cassock, he turned out to be a high monk.
The steward's surname was Chen, and knowing Qin Sang's intention, he took them to the City Lord's Mansion. When Qin Sang entered the mansion, he first saw a jade wall blocking the way ahead, with several jade drums hanging on the jade wall.
"Deacon Chen, what do you mean?" Qin Sang looked at Deacon Chen.
"Please help, Master, and strike the jade drum on the wall," Deacon Chen said with a bow.
"What's the difference?" Qin Sang looked them up and down. These jade drums looked exactly the same, but when his spiritual sense probed into the jade drums, he could sense the hidden mystery.
Deacon Chen pointed to the top of the jade wall and said, "If the Taoist priest can strike the jade drum at the top, he will be the most distinguished guest in the palace. The door will be opened wide and the city lord will come to greet him personally!"
"I see."
Qin Sang nodded, turned his right palm, and a sword shadow appeared in his palm.
Deacon Chen and others only saw a flash of lightning, and then they heard the deafening sound of drums, and the jade drum at the top was shaking violently.
Lianxue's face was stunned. She had been a guide many times, but this was the first time she saw someone hit the top drum, and so easily!
'Rumble...'
The jade wall slowly opened to both sides, and behind the jade wall, jade doors opened one after another.
At the same time, fairy music was played in the mansion, petals were flying in the sky, and the whole mansion was alarmed.
Teams of musicians and dancers came out one after another, bowed gracefully, and said in unison: "Welcome the distinguished guest into the palace!"
Deacon Chen looked solemn and bowed deeply, "Please enter the mansion!"
……
"Please take a seat, Master."
The Lord of Guangsha City came out of his house in person to greet Qin Sang and invited him into the meeting hall.
The host and the guest sat down and exchanged a few pleasantries. Qin Sang got straight to the point and asked, "I heard that your family is deeply trusted by the Wu Clan. I believe you must know the Wu Clan very well. I came here to ask you a few questions."
The Lord of Guangsha City nodded with a smile, "It is a misunderstanding that I can only contact one or two clans of the Wu Clan. But if you ask, please feel free to do so. I will tell you everything I know."
Without waiting for Qin Sang to speak, Wu Zhao said impatiently: "We want to ask Hao..."
Before he could finish his words, Wu Zhao was suddenly struck by lightning, and his face turned pale. If Shi Liu had not supported him, he would have collapsed to the ground.
Qin Sang just glanced at her.
With just this one glance, Wu Zhao felt a fear that penetrated deep into his bones, as if he was falling into endless darkness, falling without end.
Shi Liu supported Wu Zhao and found that Wu Zhao was covered in cold sweat and trembling constantly. Although he had no injuries on his body, he was in unprecedented weakness. He couldn't help but become panicked and lowered his head, not daring to look at Qin Sang.
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, my young man," Qin Sang said, bowing his hands. "Have you ever heard of a clan called Hao Bo?"
The Lord of Guangsha City turned a blind eye to the performance of Wu Zhao and the others. He pondered for a moment and said, "I have never heard of it. However, perhaps I am not knowledgeable enough, because I can only understand a few major clans adjacent to our Lizhou. There are many clans that are full of prejudice against our human race and will not contact us."
"Oh? So, there is no consensus among the Wu clan on our human race?" Qin Sang asked with interest.
"That's true. The Wu Clan is not like our Great Zhou. There are many clans inside, and they are independent. Even Taihao cannot subdue all the clans. Those clans close to us have benefited from trading with us humans. Their ideas will change imperceptibly. Other clans are still conservative," the Lord of Guangsha City nodded.
"Taihao clan..."
Qin Sang repeated these three words.
"The Taihao clan is one of the oldest clans of the Wu clan and has a transcendent status in the Wu clan. It is said that every Wu sacrifice is held in the Taihao clan. As for the reason, it involves the secrets of the Wu clan, and I don't know it completely," the Lord of Guangsha City continued to instruct, "Your Excellency wants to find the Haobo clan. When there is a chance, I can ask fellow Taoists from the Wu clan for you. However, if the Haobo clan did not exist in the present era, I am afraid that only the Taihao clan and other ancient clans would have records of it."
Qin Sang didn't care that his intention was guessed by the Lord of Guangsha City. The Hao Bo family was just an excuse to join the Wu clan.
“I’m afraid it’s not easy to make friends with those ancient clans,” Qin Sang said.
The Lord of Guangsha City said, "That's right. The older the clan, the harder it is to change people's hearts. I heard that many clans clamored to punish clans that had dealings with humans, but they were all suppressed by Taihao. This gives us a glimpse of Taihao's attitude. You might as well try to make friends with a master of Taihao..."
"As Daoyou said, I'm afraid we can't make any progress in the Wu Clan. Where can we make friends with the masters of the Taihao Clan?"
Qin Sang shook his head, thought for a moment, and then asked about the spirit insects.
"To be honest with you, I am not from Lizhou. I raise a few spiritual insects, but they are progressing more and more slowly. I heard that the Wu Clan is good at controlling insects, so I came to Lizhou to try my luck..."
The Lord of Guangsha City was waiting for this moment. He bowed slightly and said, "Excuse me, what kind of spiritual insect did the Master cultivate, and what realm is it in?"
"I have a spirit butterfly. Fortunately, I got some opportunities before, and it broke through to the middle stage of the sixth transformation not long ago," Qin Sang said frankly.
"Middle stage of the sixth transformation!"
The main appearance of Guangsha City.
As we all know, the magical powers of spirit insects are mysterious and can often be looked up to. Their magical powers may have power comparable to that of a late stage of refining emptiness.
Whether it is a combat spirit insect or an auxiliary spirit insect, they are all powerful helpers.
Guangxia City Lord couldn't help but show envy on his face, and said: "It is really enviable that the real person can get this spirit butterfly to follow. However, the spirit butterfly realm is already very high. If you want to continue to improve, only the secrets of the major forces or the rare elixirs in the world can be effective. Such elixirs are not enough for the witch clan itself, so how can they be sold? I have been doing this for so many years, and I occasionally get a few, which only slightly improves the spirit insects in the early stage of the sixth transformation, and the elixirs have been reserved before they are delivered."
He shook his head repeatedly, and his expression did not seem fake.
Qin Sang sighed, "Even fellow Taoists are unable to help. It seems that I don't need to visit the other families. In this case, I will not bother you anymore..."
Having said that, Qin Sang stood up and was about to leave.
"Not entirely, wait a minute!"
The Lord of Guangsha City did not want to miss Qin Sang, the distinguished guest, so he quickly called Qin Sang to stop.
"Although I don't have any elixir to sell to you, I can help you pass on a message and ask what they mean. If a peerless master like you can befriend you just by paying some elixirs, the Wu Clan will surely be willing to do so!"
The more the Lord of Guangsha City spoke, the more confident he became.
The strength displayed by Qin Sang alone is extraordinary. Few people can match him in the fusion stage.
If there is a chance to make friends with anyone or any force, I will not miss it!
"Then I'll have to trouble you, fellow Taoist!"
Qin Sang bowed his head and thanked him. "I have practiced for many years and have accumulated some wealth. Please pass it on to them. As long as they can produce the elixir that I am interested in, everything can be discussed."
"Don't worry, Master. I will do my best to complete your request!" The Lord of Guangsha City called Deacon Chen over through voice transmission. "Master, you have come from afar, so why not stay in your mansion and let me show my hospitality."
Qin Sang declined and said, "I have heard of the name of Shengfan Pass for a long time and have wanted to go there for a visit. Let's go to Shengfan Pass and wait for good news from fellow Taoists."
The Lord of Guangsha City said happily: "Our government also has a branch in Shengfan Pass! Deacon Chen, you will serve Master Qin from now on. Please make sure to arrange everything properly. If you dare to be careless, this Lord will not forgive you!"
Deacon Chen respectfully accepted the order.
Seeing the other party was so enthusiastic, Qin Sang no longer refused. He bid farewell to the Lord of Guangsha City and followed Deacon Chen through several transfers, finally arriving at Shengfan Pass!
Lianxue received a sum of spirit stones and was sent back by Deacon Chen.
……
"Master, Shengfan has arrived."
Deacon Chen stepped aside and said respectfully.
Qin Sang walked out of the Teleportation Hall and was stunned. The scene before him was completely different from what he had imagined.
This place is not like the Yumen Pass in Duizhou. It is called a "pass" but it is not a majestic city. Buddhist temples are lined up on the land, and the scenery is magnificent.
At a glance, there are tens of thousands of Buddhist temples, shining golden in the sun, solemn and majestic. And these are just ordinary Buddhist temples, there are countless temples hidden in the forbidden formation, untainted by the world of mortals.
More than 80% of the pedestrians on the street are dressed as monks, including those who practice Taoism.
Deacon Chen pointed to the street in front of him and said, "Go west along this road until it reaches the end, where it splits into two. These are what people call the Holy Road and the Ordinary Road."
"Go and have a look."
Qin Sang and others flew away, but suddenly they felt an invisible pressure coming down and they could only fly at low altitude.
They passed through countless Buddhist temples and flew to the end of the land, finally seeing Shengfan Road and endless yellow sand. Shengfan Pass was located in a huge oasis, and to the west was the Buddha Land, which was said to be the most desolate and miserable area in this world.
On the 'Holy Road', they saw a shocking sight.
Countless monks and believers lined up in a long queue, facing west, bowing their heads with every step, their expressions full of fanatical piety. Some of the frail ones soon fainted under the scorching desert sun, but this did not dampen the enthusiasm of others.
The other road is much quieter.
"These mortals firmly believe that even if they cannot reach the sacred mountain and are eventually buried in the sea of sand, as long as they are devout enough, they will be led by the Buddha after death, enter the Buddha's kingdom, and enjoy eternal bliss..."
Deacon Chen's tone was complicated.
"Buddhaland..."
Qin Sang was thoughtful.
From the perspective of cultivators, owning a Buddhist kingdom is equivalent to opening up a small world, which can only be done by a great Mahayana cultivator.
Will they guide mortals?
Qin Sang still knows too little about Buddhist scriptures.
As for these mortals, we cannot say that they are ignorant. After all, there are real practitioners in this world who truly have extraordinary powers.
Not everyone can get the chance to become an immortal, and reincarnation into a Buddhist kingdom is their only hope!
Don’t you see, even in the Buddhist practice world, there is the Pure Land lineage.
Moreover, there are indeed many Buddhist monks on the Holy Road, doing the same things as ordinary people.
"Among these people there are real ascetics, but there are also many opportunists," Deacon Chen said disdainfully, "Legend has it that in the past there were Buddhist monks who really wanted to go to Lingshan. On their way to worship, they were led by the Western Buddhist sect and ascended to heaven in one step. Therefore, more and more Buddhists were attracted here, but most of them could not hold on for long and gave up on their own. They don't think about it. They don't want to study Buddhism in depth. They have no Buddha nature in their hearts. They just want to find shortcuts. What's the point even if they knock their heads. How can the great monks in the Buddha's land look down on such people?"
"What Deacon Chen said is quite Buddhist," Qin Sang praised.
Deacon Chen blushed and said hurriedly, "I dare not speak nonsense in front of the Immortal. My branch is in Qingyan Temple in the south of Shengfan Pass. The Immortal invites you!"
Qingyan Temple has a forbidden formation to isolate it from outside disturbances, making it a quiet place.
Qin Sang asked Deacon Chen to settle Shi Liu and the other two, asked for a fire room, and personally started to refine the elixir.
a few days later.
Qin Sang came out of seclusion and called Shi Liu and the other two.
“Take these pills and refine them as soon as possible. They may help you break through to the Spirit Transformation Stage,” Qin Sang threw out two jade bottles.
He didn't dare to say that he was proficient in alchemy, but it was more than enough for him to refine a few pills for Nascent Soul cultivators.
The mayor of Guangsha City said that the Wu Clan is different from the Inhuman Clan and has a deep prejudice against the human race. This trip may be full of twists and turns. It is best to help Shi Liu and the other two break through the Spiritualization Stage first. Shi Liu and the other two were carefully selected by Fang Lao Mo and Ming Qiu. They have good talents. With the help of these pills, they have a chance to break through.
Shi Liu and the other man took the jade bottle in disbelief. They had just learned a lesson that was deeply engraved in their minds, and every time they recalled it, Wu Zhao would tremble.
Now the senior actually gave me the elixir!
It turns out that my senior was just cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He taught me a lesson because I was too rash, but it was actually for my own good!
The two held the jade bottle tightly, their hearts filled with gratitude, and they both knelt down, "Thank you for the elixir!"

I'm getting older and can't stand staying up late every day, so I wanted to try adjusting my schedule and update in the morning. But I didn't expect that I would drag it on until noon the next day.
I'll see in the next few days. If it doesn't work, I'll go back to updating in the evening.
