r light, and a bolt of lightning shot out."Boom!"Thunderstorms and black fire clash.Even without using the power of the Thunderball, the peak strength of a Demon Spirit Realm powerhouse was formidable...The Bloodstained Divine Light has the ability to blind spirits, undoubtedly a treasure sought after by every alchemist.
Qin Sang had always felt that the Wuji Blood Sang was somewhat overrated. From magic artifacts to spirit treasures, even acquired spirit treasures of the later stage, the effect of the Xuehui Divine Light had become increasingly weak. It was impossible for it to be as potent as before, directly disabling an opponent's reliance during a magical duel and achieving a decisive victory.
Now I understand why Wuji Blood Sandalwood is ranked among the Ten Divine Trees.
Looking back on the battle at Ziwu Palace, Ye Laomo and Zuibian were truly a waste of talent.

However, Yuanying cultivators in the storm realm couldn't possibly come into contact with spirit souls. For them, the greatest value of the endless blood mulberry tree was ironically its uselessness. Whether it was a waste or not could only be judged differently by different people.
I thought that before reviving the Ziwei lineage, I would have to be cautious and low-key, keeping my swordsmanship hidden. Unexpectedly, fate took a turn, allowing me to become an aid in my journey as a refiner.
"I don't know what kind of secret art is needed to refine the blood-stained divine light. It's probably difficult to refine, and it's definitely kept by each faction and not easily passed on."
Qin Sang brushed past this thought and asked indirectly.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
As expected, Elder Qi was also unfamiliar with this kind of secret art. Such secret arts are impossible to be widely circulated in the vast world, and the Ten Divine Trees are rare throughout the world. With no divine trees, there is no secret art. Over time, it would only be relegated to a corner, forgotten by all.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
Finding a secret art is undoubtedly easier than finding a stemless blood mulberry.
From Elder Qi, we learned that the Five Elements Alliance has long collected countless refining techniques and artifact inheritance. After making certain contributions to the Five Elements Alliance, guest elders can gain access to them and obtain one or even several schools of thought from within, which is also one of the means by which the Five Elements Alliance attracts people's hearts.
So-called contributions are measured from multiple aspects. The safest way is to contribute by refining treasures for the Five Elements Alliance, but this will take time.
Qin Sang knew that even if the Five Elements Alliance possessed such a secret technique, it would be difficult to access it easily. He couldn't afford to delay.
Through Elder Qi, Qin Sang not only learned many secrets but also gained a deep understanding of the rules governing the transmission of refining techniques throughout the myriad realms. This made his future actions much more convenient.

Just as the two were engrossed in conversation, a disturbance came from outside the barrier. Zhao Zhi's voice rang out, "Elder Qi, a talismanic message has arrived from headquarters."
"There must be news from within the alliance," Elder Qi stood up, "Daoist Qin, please remain calm."
Having left for just a short while, Elder Qi returned to the quiet room with a smile on his face. He clasped his hands together and said with delight, "Congratulations, Daoist Qin! As expected, the Alliance will not refuse any Master Refiner. As long as you are willing to join the Five Elements Alliance, a position will be readily available for you, and you will be granted the title of Guest Elder. From now on, as long as you possess this token, regardless of time or place, or even which branch, you can summon the power of the branches to assist you! However, before handing over the Elder Token, we require Daoist Qin to do one thing for our Alliance, to prove your capabilities."
"This is as it should be. I wonder what Lord Qin would have me do"
Qin Sang asked, the whole process was easier than he expected, it's estimated that it let him refine a spiritual treasure or something like that.
As Qin Sang had guessed, Elder Qi spoke.
“As is customary, the alliance should have sent other elders to meet Daoist Qin. Due to the fact that our alliance is currently busy with a major undertaking, the elders in Yujing City are stretched thin and temporarily unavailable. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.Moving forward, all Daoist needs to do is refine several treasures here. Upon completion of the treasures, the alliance will reward Daoist with the same compensation as other guest elders. If Daoist has no other requests, Qi will immediately arrange a chamber for you and have the alliance deliver the spiritual materials.”
The main goal this time is to obtain a Elder's Token, the reward is secondary.
Qin Sang hesitated for a moment, "About how long would it take to refine those treasures"
Please note that I have only translated the content within the > tags, as instructed. The HTML tags themselves are not translated.
Crafting, especially Spirit Treasures, can take years. I'm afraid staying here too long will delay the Sword Retrieval Plan.
As the Sword Slave said, this dispute over King Zhou's lifespan has attracted the attention of everyone in the world, it is a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity.
Qin Sang explained, "With the passing of the Zhou King and a new king yet to be established, chaos brews in Yujing. Qin is worried about potential widespread turmoil, so he wants to leave this place of strife as soon as possible."
Unless someone intends to strip Zhou Wang of his title, how could Bai Yu Jing be in chaos The powerful beings above are still debating endlessly; it will likely take at least a decade or two before it affects us. However, Qin Dao's concern is not unfounded...
Elder Qi didn't agree, and after a quick calculation, said, "If you daoist are in a hurry to leave, six months should be enough."
It took less time than expected, Qin Sang readily agreed.
Elder Qi led Qin Sang out of the quiet room and walked towards the back hall, "Our alliance has five elemental weapon rooms as well as some special weapon rooms, which one would Daoist friend choose"
“Qin Ce is accustomed to using fire,” Qin Sang said.
Elder Qi was not surprised. In the world, all five elements had their own tradition of forging weapons, each with its unique characteristics. Fire was the most common among them.
Upon arriving at a fire chamber, Elder Qi left Qin Sang behind and went out for a while, returning with a wooden ring.
The ring was engraved with a simple character for "wood".
"Both the spiritual materials and the patterns are within this amulet. If Daoist friend has any questions, Qi will be there," Elder Qi pointed to a room on his left hand side and cupped his hands in farewell.
Open the grand formation, sealing off both inside and outside.
Qin Sang probed the wooden amulet with his divine sense, and what met his eyes was a neat row of spiritual materials.
Surprisingly, these spiritual materials were not particularly rare, but their variety was extraordinarily numerous, dazzling to the eye.
At the very innermost part, Qin Sang saw a scroll made of an unknown beast skin.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Taking the scroll out and unfurling it before him, Qin Sang found a diagram of extraordinary detail spread across its surface.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
"Huh"
Qin Sang immediately saw the clue, "It looks like a magic weapon! No, it's part of some kind of magic weapon!"
>Unexpectedly, the Five Elements Alliance made me refine not a spirit treasure but a magic artifact.
Some special magical artifacts can also possess extraordinary power. Their refining difficulty is comparable to, or even surpasses, that of spirit treasures. The large flying magical artifact used by Feng Xing in Yue Du Wan also belongs to this category.
The pattern has three pictures, each depicting a different animal head: a dragon head, a tiger head, and a phoenix beak.
Of course, it has nothing to do with the real divine beasts, it just borrows their shapes. The structures of the three beast heads are similar, the key lies in the internal runes and construction.
Qin Sang glanced roughly, and could only use one word to describe it— exquisite!
No wonder a master refiner needs to be involved.
Various kinds of spirit materials, inevitably have conflicting properties, requiring a sophisticated refining technique to refine these materials into various components, piecing them together into a whole. Not only must this avoid conflict and bear runes and enchantments, but it must also transform the mundane into the miraculous, achieving a synergistic effect.
Just a beast's head, the number of parts is beyond imagination. Some are as large as a human body, while others are as small as dust. Refining it might not take too long, but it's a huge test of the refiner's control.
Even Qin Sang couldn't guarantee success every time, but thankfully the spiritual materials sent by the Five Elements Alliance were plentiful.
The arrangements made by the Five Elements Alliance were also very ingenious. They divided a magic weapon into several parts, each part being independently refined. Based on their own knowledge, the blacksmiths couldn't deduce what kind of magic weapon it was at all.
Qin Sang suspected that the part assigned to him was probably the easier one. The main body of the magic artifact must be more complex. The elders of the Five Elements Alliance were currently working together to refine this artifact, so they couldn't leave.
Putting aside all distractions, Qin Sang sank her mind into the diagram and began to study it earnestly. She started with the simplest components, refining them while exploring their intricacies.
During the period of refining, Qin Sang left the Five Elements Alliance several times to meet Jian Nu and explain the situation.
Qin Sang himself deduced that completing the tasks of the Five Elements Alliance would take half a year to a year, which was still an acceptable amount of time.
After all, when taking action later, one must first communicate with Tian Yue Shangren and then wait for Tian Yue Shangren to make proper arrangements. It may take a very long time before they actually take action.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
And the Sword Slave agreed on a departure time with him, so as not to implicate the Sword Slave. From then on, the two would minimize their meetings and disguise themselves as much as possible.
Half a year later.
In the Hall of Five Elements Allied Artifacts.
Qin Sang sat cross-legged, surrounded by flames. A fire dragon swirled above his head.
>
The Fire Dragon coiled around a pool of golden liquid, impurities constantly being refined out. Glimmering gold patterns appeared within, gradually separating and becoming incredibly fine gold threads. When a complete thread was drawn out, the liquid lost all its luster.
Qin Sang's expression moved slightly, the golden thread suddenly stiffened, and then with a flick of his sleeve, 'bang', countless parts exploded in front of Qin Sang.
Immediately, one could see golden threads like needles weaving through the parts, darting between them at incredible speed. In a blink of an eye, they formed the outline of a tiger's head. Suddenly, the tiger's head glared with menacing eyes, its gaze radiating fury.
Qin Sang's face was solemn, his fingers flicking continuously, sending streaks of light into the tiger's head one after another. The ferocious light finally gradually subsided, eventually forming a tiger's head the size of a small room made of half-inch fire bricks.
>
With wide open hands, fierce and mighty.
Facing the tiger's maw, one gets a sense of danger, as if it could unleash a ferocious attack from its jaws.
"Could it be the muzzle"
Qin Sang seemed thoughtful but didn't investigate further. After adjusting her breath, she continued refining the elixir.
>
In the tenth month, Qin Sang finally finished refining the dragon head, tiger body, and phoenix beak into one statue, so he invited Elder Qi.
The skill level required for this task was already sufficient with three beast heads. More could be crafted to earn greater rewards, but Qin Sang couldn't afford to wait any longer.
Please provide me with the text you would like me to translate. I'm ready!
“Elder Qin’s skill is truly profound!” Elder Qi commented after seeing the three beast heads, and directly addressed him as ‘Elder’.
Unbeknownst to them, during the refining process, Qin Sang spared no effort, expending his own blood essence and incorporating the Blood Refinement techniques of the Chongxuan Sect. His aim was to make the Wu Xing Alliance value him more.
>
Elder Qi put away the three beast heads, “Elder Qin wants to leave, so I won’t waste any more words. There will be other days. Elder Qin, what rewards are you planning on taking this time I’ll report it all together.”
"Thousand feather spirit silk, how much can you give me" Qin Sang asked.
A thousand feather spirit silk is one of the indispensable spiritual objects for constructing a Taoist talisman array, requiring far fewer than emerald-scarred essence.
"A thousand feathered threads..."
Elder Qi pondered for a moment, "Generally around three zhang, but I can try to secure five zhang for Elder Qin. Since Elder Qin recently joined the alliance, the others will likely be accommodating and show goodwill."
"In that case, Qin will be most grateful to Elder Qi."
Qin Sang was touched and gratefully said,
"It's a small matter," Elder Qi waved his hand dismissively, "Elder Qin, just wait for my good news."
After not waiting long, Elder Qi returned, indeed bringing back five thousand feather spirit silk and a token of an elder.
The Qianyu Lingsi resembles fine thread, with five vibrant colors, like countless bird feathers woven together.
Traces of primordial essence, a thousand feathers of spiritual silk...
>
I've already gotten two of them. Collecting one by one like this, sooner or later I'll be able to build my own magic altar.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Elder Qi, Qin Sang left the Five Elements Alliance.
At this time, Jian Nu had already applied for leave from the Zhou Wang Palace and prepared his disguise, waiting for Qin Sang's departure.
After their meeting, the Sword Slave pretended to be Qin Sang's disciple and walked towards an official residence on the thirtieth heaven.
When he arrived, Qin Sang was still a lone cultivator. When he left, he had transformed into an elder guest of the Five Elements Alliance. The fee for the Da Nuo Yi Array was indeed reduced. Qin Sang paid a sum of Wu Hong silver and, with his sword slave in tow, boarded the Da Nuo Yi Array.
However, with only one jade talisman between the two, when they were moving, Qin Sang could only use his stronger magic to protect himself and Jiannu.
Leaving the Bai Yu Jing, Qin Sang couldn't help but feel a sense of regret. He had wanted to take a good look at this sacred place of the human race and plan his future path, but unexpectedly, he came and left in a hurry again. His time in Bai Yu Jing was spent day after day refining weapons within the Wu Xing Alliance.
“Crackle…”
Using the Grand Displacement Formation, one travels from the Baiyu Capital to the capital of the Dui Prefecture.
When Qin Sang and Jian Nu walked out of the Great Displacement Formation, the first thing they felt was the humid air. They heard the sound of rain hitting the water surface and lotus leaves.
The sky was overcast and gloomy.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
A thick blanket of clouds covered the horizon, with rain falling steadily, not a heavy downpour but enough to evoke a sense of persistent melancholy. It seemed as if the rain would never end.
It is said that the weather in the Duizhou region is always like this, with almost the entire Duizhou located in an endless vast swamp.
Qin Sang lowered his head and looked at the green lotus leaves beneath his feet. The backs of the leaves were pressed tightly against the water, like a green platter floating on the surface. They wouldn't sink and were remarkably resilient.
Looking around, countless lotus leaves cover every direction. These “lotus leaves” come in various sizes, some are actually water hyacinths, extending to the end of one’s sight, with still countless green dots.
This is the capital city of Duizhou, one of the Eight Heavenly States, a fairy city built on lotus leaves and water lilies, spread out over the swamp.
Thus, a name was obtained - Liancheng.
>
This lotus is called the Sunny King Lotus, a unique variety among lotuses. Its leaves are small, sometimes just a few feet long, but can grow to thousands or even tens of thousands of feet in size. It's said to only grow in the capital of Duizhou and will wither if taken elsewhere. Consuming its seeds grants humans longevity, and its leaves are a tough spiritual material. Even pavilions and towers built on lotus leaves won't collapse.

Qin Sang noticed that the surface of Liancheng was only one zhang deep from the swamp below.
But standing here, I could not detect the slightest odor of decay; only the fragrance of lotus leaves wafted in the air.
What's even more peculiar is that for countless years, the skies above Duizhou have been perpetually overcast with dark clouds, resulting in incessant rain. Yet, despite the endless downpour, the water level remains unchanged.
Qin Sang moved his foot, and the lotus leaf beneath it trembled slightly. Tiny ripples spread across the water's surface.
