Chapter 2378 Chi Lian
"Haha, what do you think that guy's expression will be when he finds out?"
Qin Sang was flying through the woods, and Suzaku was hopping on the branches.
After digging out all the spiritual mines, Qin Sang did not return to Shilong Mountain, but fled far away directly. The turmoil in this place had nothing to do with him anymore.
"I'm sure I'll curse you to death in my heart!" Suzaku laughed.
Qin Sang smiled slightly, these gentian stone golds were an unexpected surprise. Chi Lian treated him as a reckless man and used him, so he should be prepared to be bitten back.
Let alone angering Chi Lian, even if he offended Wuxianzhai, the worst that could happen is that he would defect to another force. All he wanted was an identity, and he would not hang himself on a tree.
Thinking of this, Qin Sang looked back in the direction of Shilong Mountain, then immediately withdrew his gaze, showing no interest in what was going to happen here.
……
"We are just ahead of Huansha Island. Is the trade fair we heard about located here?"
Zhuque stood on Qin Sang's shoulder, resting his wings on his forehead and looking out.
Now Zhuque was unwilling to return to the small cave heaven, so he disguised himself as a little firefly. However, he concealed himself very well, and even Qin Sang could not tell where he was, so he just let him go.
At the end of the jungle ahead, an endless sandbar appeared in sight.
Huanshazhou is a demon city in the sandbar. It was not originally on the way, but Qin Sang heard Zhuque mention that a trade fair would be held here, and that the spiritual object he needed, the fire osmanthus wood, would appear at the trade fair, so he made a detour here.
After the last experience, Qin Sang began to pay attention to the news of various spiritual objects. His efforts paid off and he finally found out one more.
"It's right here, but it is said that the rules of this trade are very strict, so it may not be easy to succeed..."
Qin Sang restrained his breath, descended from the sky, and landed in the center of the sandbar. There was lush grass there, and it looked like a wasteland, but in fact there were fluctuations of the formation, and it was obvious that a trick was used.
After paying the 'entry fee', Qin Sang entered the demon city and headed straight for the place he had inquired about before.
Not long after, Qin Sang arrived in front of a courtyard and triggered the restriction in the courtyard.
The gate opened and an old monkey walked out.
This old monkey has not transformed into a human, but its words and actions are so polite that people will ignore its appearance.
"May I ask where you are from, fellow Taoist, and what is the important matter?" Seeing that Qin Sang was a stranger, the old monkey still looked friendly and polite.
"Fellow Daoist, you can just call me Qingfeng," Qin Sang glanced into the courtyard, "I heard there is a trade fair here, I am here to participate in it."
"Oh?"
The old monkey looked at Qin Sang and shook his head, saying, "Forgive me, my friend. This trade fair is for the ancestors to enhance their relationship and invite relatives and friends to gather together. It is not open to the public."
"Can't I do it either?"
Qin Sang frowned and released a breath, and the momentum of the Void Refinement Stage pressed towards the old monkey.
The old monkey's face turned red, and he spoke with difficulty: "Senior, please calm down. The ancestors have strictly ordered that unless you can produce the master's token, even if you kill me, I will not dare to reveal it without permission."
The courtyard was not big, and Qin Sang did not sense the presence of other demon cultivators. It was obvious that the trade fair was taking place somewhere else.
What the old monkey said was true. According to Qin Sang's understanding, this trade fair was jointly initiated by several demon cultivators. It was said that because they belonged to different demon saints, they did not dare to be open about it. Each trade fair was very mysterious and only those who were invited could participate.
I don’t know how Zhuque got hold of this news. During this period, this guy has been more concerned about it than Qin Sang, and seems to be looking for some treasure as well.
There was no need to embarrass an old monkey. Qin Sang snorted coldly, turned away, and thought in his mind.
If I let the old monkey report to my superiors, or if I deliberately make friends with the nearby demon cultivators, even if I can get an invitation, I will miss this trade fair and the fire osmanthus wood.
It seems that we still need to rely on the power of Wuxianzhai.
They were far away from Shilong Mountain and must have left the territory under Chi Lian's jurisdiction.
Qin Sang turned around and walked towards Wuxianzhai in the city.
The shopkeeper of the Wuxianzhai here was a wolf demon. When he saw Qin Sang's jade contract, he respectfully led him to the backyard to communicate with Wuxianzhai.
The decoration in the courtyard is similar to that of Wuxianzhai in Shilongshan, but the statue in the hall is not a python, but a white fox.
The white fox statue's eyes blinked slightly, coming alive, and its eyeballs turned to look at the jade contract in Qin Sang's hand.
"Are you Chi Lian's subordinate?"
The white fox statue opened its mouth, looking as childish as a baby, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a boy or a girl.
"She is just my guide," Qin Sang said flatly.
Hearing this, the white fox statue chuckled. Instead of defending its colleague, it gloated over his misfortune. "Well, Ren Zi Yin Tan, it seems that you and Chi Lian really have little to do with each other. However, you are smart and ran fast enough..."
The white fox statue commented, "You came here this time intending to become my disciple."
"No," Qin Sang shook his head, "I am going to travel south and pass through the precious land. I encountered some troubles. I beg you to lend me a hand."
As he spoke, Qin Sang threw the jade contract towards the white fox statue, "I haven't received the reward for the task I completed last time at Shilong Mountain."
"This mission is not enough to allow you to be promoted to the Gengzi Altar... Tell me what it is first." After all, he is 'one of us', so the white fox statue did not directly refuse.
Qin Sang explained his purpose, and the white fox statue suddenly realized, "This is not difficult. We, Wuxianzhai, are also behind this trade fair. But what are you going to give me in return?"
"What do you want me to do, fellow Daoist?" Qin Sang asked.
"Please help me solve a small problem. There are some things that we cannot do," the white fox statue spit out a white light and sank into the jade contract.
The jade contract flew back into Qin Sang's hands.
The white fox statue's tone sank. "Once you succeed in this, it will be considered as your mission completed. The credit belongs to you, which is enough for you to be promoted to the Gengzi Altar. Do it cleanly. After you succeed, you cannot stay for long. It is best not to come back forever."
After Qin Sang read it, he bowed and said, "As you wish!"
The next morning, a token was delivered to the Wuxianzhai stronghold. Qin Sang took the token and went to find the old monkey again, and found out the location as he wished.
……
Seven days later.
On a hill, Qin Sang looked down silently, and when everything in the valley was burned out by the raging fire, he turned and left.
Everything went smoothly. Not only did I complete the mission of Wuxianzhai and get the spiritual object I wanted, but I also got an unexpected surprise.
Qin Sang turned his palm over, and two objects appeared in his palm.
A palm-sized piece of wood, with wood grains like flames and waves of fire, was the fire osmanthus wood. Another piece was as soft and light as cotton wool, called Kanyu Paste, which Qin Sang also got at the trade fair.
The progress is faster than expected. If I can gather all the spiritual objects needed to refine the spiritual sword, it will be worth the trip.
The fire behind him grew more and more intense. Qin Sang didn't even turn his head back and gradually disappeared into the distance.
Not long after he left, a demon king became furious and searched everywhere for the murderer, causing another disturbance.
……
For a long time afterwards, Qin Sang's figure continued to appear in various places, and his location was getting closer and closer to the south.
After reaching a deal with the white fox statue, the grudges between him and Wuxianzhai were resolved. He completed a few more tasks along the way, and his status in Wuxianzhai became higher and higher, and he has been promoted to Wu Zi Yintan.
At the same time, he also gained a lot of benefits and learned a lot of information from Wuxianzhai. Acting under the name of Wuxianzhai could save him a lot of trouble.
If Qin Sang wanted to continue climbing, reaching Jiazi Altar would be no problem, but he did not intend to climb so high. Firstly, it was too conspicuous, and secondly, Jiazi Altar could not be climbed by accumulating merits. He just wanted to borrow the name of Wuxianzhai and did not want to be too deeply involved with Wuxianzhai.
During the journey south, Qin Sang's horizons were broadened and he saw many wonders that were not found in the Great Zhou. At the same time, he also came to realize that as long as they are intelligent creatures, whether they are human or demon, they only have differences in customs and are essentially the same.
……
"Hurry! Hurry! We're almost at Liandu Lake!"
Qin Sang walked neither hurriedly nor slowly. Zhuque flew in front of him and kept looking back to urge him.
"Why are you so excited?" Qin Sang was suspicious, wondering if this guy had some conspiracy.
Zhuque snorted, "I've been a coward all the way with you. There's no demon saint suppressing us in Liandu Lake. If we join forces, we'll definitely make a name for ourselves here!"
Zhuque had a look of lofty ambition on his face, and he was almost choking. Because Qin Sang was worried about getting into trouble, he kept a close eye on Zhuque, not allowing him to do anything along the way.
“Although Liandu Lake is not the place where the Demon Saint practices, it is also not a place where you and I can act recklessly,” Qin Sang poured a bucket of cold water on it.
He had heard of Liandu Lake before. It was said to be a vast and boundless lake.
There are endless lakes and swamps, a humid climate, mist that lingers all year round, and there are all kinds of magical legends, full of mystery.
Liandu Lake separates the north and the south. If Qin Sang wants to go south, he must cross the Liandu Lake.
The strange thing is that no demon saint has occupied the Lotus Crossing Lake, and it is still an ownerless place. But there are also rumors that the demon saints are fighting for the Lotus Crossing Lake, and no one can monopolize it.
What is certain is that those demon saints will not leave the Liandu Lake unattended. There are probably many forces planted by the demon saints in the lake.
Because of this, the situation inside Liandu Lake is very complicated, and Qin Sang is not as optimistic as Zhuque.
"coward!"
Suzaku suddenly lost his temper and became listless.
After entering the demon realm, it didn't know what inheritance in its blood was touched, but it dreamed of Qin Sang showing great power, subduing hundreds of millions of demon soldiers, commanding them, conquering cities and unifying the world.
The Demon Saint appeared here, and it was impossible for it to do as it wished. However, Qin Sang was too cautious, which made it very dissatisfied.
Ignoring Zhuque's complaints, Qin Sang used his spiritual sense to sense the jade contract and confirmed the location of the nearby Wuxianzhai.
Before entering Liandu Lake, you must first understand the situation inside.
There is also a snake statue placed in Wuxianzhai here, but its body is very slender and its scales are green.
Yu Qi awakens the green snake statue.
With Qin Sang's current status, he would be treated with courtesy at any Wuxianzhai stronghold. The green snake statue was very polite to Qin Sang, and upon learning his purpose, it spit out a ball of green light, which contained the information Qin Sang wanted.
Qin Sang took it and checked it out. It did contain a description of some strength within Liandu Lake, but it still did not satisfy him.
"You should have more detailed information, right?"
Qin Sang raised his head and looked at the green snake statue. "I plan to stay in Liandu Lake for a while and help you solve some difficult problems in exchange for these things."
"Fellow Daoist Qingfeng is willing to help, I couldn't ask for more!"
The green snake statue was pleased and immediately spit out another ball of green light, "Daoyou, please choose one first. After each one is completed, I will give you a part. I will definitely not let you down."
Qin Sang activated the jade contract to check and saw a number of tasks, all of which had high rewards and correspondingly high difficulty.
With a quick glance, Qin Sang locked onto three of the tasks, all of which required entering Liandu Lake.
Rather than hearing about it, it’s better to go in and check it out yourself.
"I choose this one."
Qin Sang chose one of them. There was only a brief description on it. There was an employer looking for a guard to help it enter Liandu Lake to collect a treasure. The details would be known only after meeting the employer.
"Please go to Feixianji within ten days..."
Qin Sang got the feng shui map, said goodbye to the green snake statue, and went straight to the place requested by his employer.
Feixianji is a famous scenic spot nearby, located on the shore of Liandu Lake.
On the evening of the third day, Qin Sang arrived near Feixianji and saw from afar a white stone ten thousand feet high standing on the shore. The white stone had almost no other colors, like an immortal in white clothes, holding the bright moon in his hand, floating up to the sky.
"No wonder it's called Feixianji, it really lives up to its reputation," Qin Sang secretly exclaimed. He flew around Feixianji, along the shore for a while, and saw a bamboo forest.
The token was crushed, bamboo leaves rustled, and a man flew out of the forest.
The man was dressed in plain white, like a young scholar. He bowed and saluted, "Are you a fellow Taoist from Wuxianzhai?"
"That's right. My name is Qingfeng. I'm here upon invitation. May I ask your Dharma name, fellow Taoist?" Qin Sang said.
"Fellow Daoist Qingfeng is polite. I am writing in cursive script with this inkstone."
Mo Yan's words and actions are as gentle and elegant as a scholar.
Qin Sang seemed to have returned to the Great Zhou. In this demon realm, there were many demon cultivators who knew etiquette, but it was rare to find one as elegant as this one.
"Daoyou Moyan," Qin Sang nodded, "Since I have accepted this mission, I will do my best to protect you. I wonder when we will set off and what treasures we will collect?"
"I trust the reputation of Wuxianzhai," Mo Yan smiled.
This is the reputation that Wuxianzhai has accumulated over the years. If Qin Sang dares to go back on his word or even murder his employer, Wuxianzhai will hunt Qin Sang down at all costs without Mo Yan's intervention.
As he spoke, Mo Yan extended his hand and beckoned, "Don't worry, fellow Taoist. There is another fellow Taoist from Wuxianzhai who said he will arrive tonight. Why don't you go to my humble abode and have a cup of wine first..."
Before he finished speaking, Qin Sang and Mo Yan's expressions moved. They looked towards the lake and saw the water rippling and a woman flying out of the lake.
The woman was wearing a brocade dress and had an enchanting figure. She was an unrivaled beauty. She walked on the waves under the moonlight, not seeming like an ordinary person.
"Fellow Daoist Mo Yan, it turns out to be you," the woman flew in front of them and nodded.
"One year ago, I met you, and I couldn't forget you for a long time. Today, I see you again, and you are still as charming as ever, and you are with me. Even if the treasure is lost, I will have no regrets!"
Mo Yan was very graceful in front of the beauty, and he did not neglect Qin Sang while complimenting her. "You two are both from Wuxianzhai, so there is no need for me to introduce you, right?"
"I recognize him, but he may not recognize me," the woman looked at Qin Sang with a mysterious smile.
Qin Sang looked at the unfamiliar face of the woman and suddenly felt something was wrong.
"Do you still remember Chi Lian?"
The woman bowed slightly, raised her head, and looked at Qin Sang with a smile.
