Chapter 1769: Beigong Nandou Retains the Talisman
uanjue's neck as he fell backward.Qin Sang collapsed onto the ground, gasping for breath like a bellows, staring at the motionless figure of Yuanjue on the ground. He was still shaken by fear.The Grea..."One hundred sections of bamboo…"
Qin Sang remembered the name and said thank you.
Lingxu Master smiled and nodded.
In fact, his trip to Xuanji Gate was not for any important matter, but out of personal motives. He wanted to personally appear and increase Qin Sang's weight.
Although it was unclear what the real Cui Wei was planning, Master Lingxu could certainly guess that unveiling that talisman wouldn't be a good thing.
Under the rules set by the Dao court, someone like Lingxu Master, who is not skilled in martial arts and specializes only in alchemy, can be well protected. However, there are some things that even they cannot avoid.
Master Lingxu's fame stems from two factors: his profound accomplishments in alchemy, and his kind and gentle nature. He has always been benevolent towards others.
Upon learning that the person summoned by the Fa-revealing Method was safe and sound, Lingxu Master also rejoiced for him. Now, doing what he could is considered compensation.
Unexpectedly, Qin Sang was able to produce such a peculiar medicinal formula, causing Lingxu Master to exclaim that the journey was worthwhile. He no longer only felt pity for Qin Sang, but truly wished to befriend him.
Qin Sang was oblivious to this, and he also wanted to befriend this master of the Dan Dao sect.

Both of them had the same thoughts, and naturally they chatted very happily.
Upon arriving at Xuanji Gate, Master Lingxu had already addressed Qin Sang as "Qingfeng, my younger brother."
"The Xuánjī Mén is right above."

Master Lingxu pointed upwards.
At this time, they were standing on a river surface. The river was nearly a thousand miles wide and the water flowed eastward. It was said that this grand river would eventually flow into the Star Island Fairy Lake of Mount Jishi.
On the riverbank, mountains rise and fall, resembling a mighty azure dragon.
Among the mountains, there is one peak that stands out prominently. It towers above all others, reaching heights far surpassing the surrounding peaks, which are no more than ten thousand feet tall, while this peak surpasses them by half.
Qin Sang focused his eyes, looking towards the peak of this mountain. On the halfway point, there was almost no vegetation, only sheer rock walls that rose straight up and down, as if carved by a knife or axe, extremely dangerous.
On the side facing the river, a stairway was carved out of stone, but because it was too dangerous, only cultivators probably dared to walk it.

As far as the peak, but drifting with a thin layer of mist, the mist emanates a faint crystal glow, like a layer of starlight. One could only faintly see the shadow of the pavilions in the mist.
Lingxu Master flew towards the peak, Qin Sang following closely behind.
Before reaching the summit, a sudden chime of a bell rang out. The gates of Xuanji Men mountain opened wide, and several cultivators emerged from within.

The leader and the Lingxu Master were well acquainted.

Upon inquiring about Qin Sang's name, the man replied, "Master Lingxu, True Person Qingfeng, my Palace Master requests your presence."
Not long after, the crowd arrived at a star pavilion. Lingxu Master chuckled and said, "Wonderful! Wonderful! It just so happens that Xingqiong True Person is leaving seclusion. This old Taoist was worried that our uninvited arrival would disturb True Person's cultivation."
A woman's voice came from within, "This poor Taoist had intended to return to seclusion yesterday. However, Master Lingxu's reputation is too widespread, and since the two of you just arrived at Sanyuan River last night, you were recognized by the soldiers under the command of the Dragon King..."
As the voices reached her ears, Qin Sang saw a Taoist priestess walking down from Xingge. Her cultivation was comparable to Master Lingxu's, also at the early stage of transformation.
The Taoist nun didn't appear young, and her looks weren't particularly delicate. However, there was an air of dignity about her that others lacked.
Seeing the Daoist nun, Xuanji sect cultivators bowed one after another, "Greetings to the headmaster."
This woman is none other than Xingqiong, the head of Xuánjī Gate. She dismissed her disciples and with a bare hand, gestured towards the Star Pavilion, "Please come in, honored guests."
>
"A little fame is nothing to boast about."
Lingxu Master nodded slightly and beckoned Qin Sang onto the Star Pavilion.
Three people took their seats. Lingxu Master, after a few pleasantries, went straight to the point: "Old Dao has come here with a request for the True Person."
Saying that, he pointed at Qin Sang, "The old Taoist owes a favor to Qingfeng. He promised to help him with one thing. Unfortunately, what he asked for wasn't related to alchemy, so I could only shamelessly come knocking."
"Oh"
Xing Qiong, upon hearing this, looked towards Qin Sang.
>
She had secretly sized up Qin Sang just now, finding that this person's blood and energy were abundant, he must be a strong practitioner from the Dragon Tiger Altar. However, his aura was quite hidden, making it difficult to see through. She didn't want to probe too deeply as it would be impolite, so she could only secretly guess Qin Sang's identity.
"I wonder what the esteemed Qingfeng Immortal desires Our sect has received many favors from Master Lingxu. As long as I can be of assistance to both of you, it would be my duty."
>
Lingxu Master stroked his beard and smiled.
Upon receiving Lingxu Master's indication, Qin Sang stood up and bowed, saying: "This humble Taoist wishes to request a talisman from the true person — the Bei Gong Nan Dou Cultivation Talisman!"
Is this the charm
Xing Qiong, the True Person, frowned slightly. “Qing Feng, you should know that Beigong Nandou’s practice of talisman is not lethal. It's a charm to ward off the celestial body’s influence, and it’s ineffective against Taoist friends outside our Xuanji sect. On the contrary, it might backfire. Furthermore, due to the high rank of this talisman, my cultivation is insufficient, and the chance of successfully crafting it is low. Our sect doesn't have any preserved ones at present.”
In the Taoist tradition, talismans and spirit charms are somewhat interconnected. Some talismans can be made into spirit charms, but both hold immense value.
"I understand! I'm cultivating a secret technique that requires external force. On a whim, I thought of your sect's Bei Gong Nandou's talisman. Whether it works or not, I will take full responsibility for the consequences... Would you be willing to personally use your divine power"
Qin Sang quickly explained his intentions.
"This..."
Xing qiong's face showed a hesitant look, glancing at Lingxu Master for a moment. After a pause, he said, "This poor Dao is currently cultivating a school of Taoism, needing to retreat for about two years. Perhaps Qingfeng True Person can wait"
"Wait! Wait!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
To Qin Sang's surprise, everything went smoothly. Overjoyed, he thanked the two people repeatedly.
From then on, he was no longer involved. Qin Sang knew it was time to step back. He followed the Xuanji Sect cultivators to a guest house for rest.
That night, Qin Sang and Lingxu Master left Xuanji Gate.
Qin Sang had already made an appointment with Xingqiong Zhenren to meet again in Jushan Jixing Valley two years later. He originally planned to wait at Xuangui Gate for two years, but thinking that he might need to prepare before the Star Element Infusion, he decided to return first.
After seeing Master Lingxu safely to his residence, Qin Sang did not linger long before taking his leave.
Back at He'ming Mountain, Qin Sang strengthened his cultivation while preparing for the next breakthrough. Most of the remaining merit points were almost exhausted.
As the appointed day drew near, Qin Sang left He'ming Mountain alone and headed straight for Xinggu.
Compared to twenty years ago, Xinggu hasn't changed much.
Back in the cave, Qin Sang carefully explored the underground river but found no trace of the Sword Master.
For the past twenty years, Qin Sang had been in secluded cultivation and hadn't seen Zhijian Zhenren again. In between, he received a letter from the latter via Guzhou Zhenren. The letter only contained greetings and an invitation for Qin Sang to visit Xīngdǎo Xiān H.
>
It was hard to refuse such a warm invitation.
Qin Sang mused, "If this breakthrough goes smoothly, I might as well go to Xingdao Immortal Lake and visit Zhijian Zhenren."
During his contemplation, Qin Sang began making various arrangements in the Star Valley.
A number of refined stardust stones flew in all directions. A large formation made of stardust stones encompassed the entire star valley, and Qin Sang would then break through within the valley. Even if something unforeseen happened, this formation could withstand it.
Speaking of which, he learned this formation from his senior sister.
Thinking of her senior sister, Qin Sang couldn't help but be lost in thought.
Over the past few years since arriving in this world unexpectedly, Qin Sang deliberately chose not to think about those old acquaintances.
After a long while, Qin Sang let out a barely audible sigh, put aside her thoughts, and continued to be busy.
>
The appointed day has finally arrived.
On this morning, Qin Sang stopped practicing and waited until noon. Finally, he felt a familiar aura and flew towards it without hesitation.
He darted out of the Star Valley, and saw two streaks of light flying from afar. They were Xing qiong True Person and Fu Ji True Person who had received him at Xuanji Gate.
"Master Qingfeng, we've been waiting for you."
Xing Qiong Zhenren fell to Qin Sang's front.
"It's just that the poor Daoist has chosen a rather remote location," Qin Sang couldn't help but smile, inviting the two into Xinggu.
Feeling the abundant stellar energy within Xinggu, Xing Qiong's heart understood. She nodded and said, "The Real Person has chosen a treasure trove of a location."
Following behind, Fu Jizi swept across the Xinggu Valley with his gaze and his eyes lit up. "This formation is quite good,"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
"The poor monk is not skilled in the art of battle formations. I have only managed to cobble something together, and there are still many things I do not understand. I would like to ask the real person to point out my mistakes."
Qin Sang immediately took out a blank jade slip and engraved the formation pattern into it.
“This...”
Fu Ji Zhenren hesitated and looked towards the sect leader.
Star-Reverence Real Person smiled slightly, "True Person Qingfeng, please rest assured, since this is a commission from Master Lingxu, this humble one will do their utmost."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Thank you so much for your trouble!"
Qin Sang performed a respectful bow.
Late at night.
Tonight happens to be a moonless night with stars blanketing the sky. The Milky Way, where countless stars congregate, is particularly brilliant.
Qin Sang sat cross-legged on a stone platform at the bottom of Xinggu.
The two real people of Xuanji Men stood on the eastern peak.
They had already discussed the details during the day. Xing qiong, with his eyes fixed on the sky, nodded at Fu ji real person.
Fu Ji Zhenren leaped outward and immediately summoned his talismans altar. The talisman seal within the altar differed from the Proclamation of All Spirits Seal in Tianshu Courtyard; instead, it was a scroll depicting the Big Dipper constellation, with the first four stars especially brilliant.
The two doors of the lu chart hall were opened.
Upon the order given by Fuji Zhenren, the troops were divided into four divisions and flew in all directions. The primary focus was on the east - the direction of the Gui Fangguo.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Meanwhile, Xingqiong the Real Person flew into the air at an unknown time and also summoned a lu dan, calling forth troops.
Suddenly, an overwhelming sense of murderous aura filled the sky, with banners and flags covering the heavens.
>
Below Xinggu, Qin Sang's expression moved slightly. He could sense that although there were no Nascent Soul stage demon generals following Xingqiong Zhenren, there were two Demon Marshals at the late transformation stage commanding troops.
Moreover, with just a single incantation, True Person Xing qiong need not reveal his full strength.
This text is already in English. If you want to translate something else, please provide the text you'd like me to translate.
Qin Sang sighed inwardly, marveling at the profound depth of knowledge within this world's sects. Even a powerful sect like Xuangui Men could only look up to them in admiration.
Immediately following that, ripples of true energy surged through the air.
Qin Sang's expression was solemn, he put away his distractions and waited quietly.

Troops were deployed, forming a protective circle around Xingqiong the Immortal. Generals swayed their spirit flags, and in an instant, the army shifted formations, becoming a complex and intricate battle array, their energies coalescing into one.
At this moment, Xing Qiong stood on the magic platform, stepping on the celestial patterns with each stride. Her eyes were profound and deep like stars.
She raised her right hand, her fingers lightly tapping in the air.
In the center of the arena, the Beidou Diagram trembled slightly. A beam of light shot out from it, seeming to envelop a talismanic shadow, which merged into the fingertips of Star Jewel True Person.
As the fingertips glided, complex runes appeared in the void.
The celestial palace stands tall, while the Milky Way galaxy is a myriad of stars.
The North Palace gathers brilliance, stars fall in the South Dipper.
"Quick!"
At this moment, all living creatures within a radius of thousands of miles around Xinggu felt something in their hearts. They looked up at the sky and saw a wondrous spectacle.
The Milky Way, which usually illuminates the heavens, was now more brilliant than ever. Stars burst forth with dazzling splendor.
Immediately, the Milky Way truly began to flow, starlight as if attracted by some force, converging towards one direction unanimously, which was the position of the Big Dipper!
For a moment, the Big Dipper stood out from among the stars in the Milky Way.
The Seven Stars are connected.
At this moment, starlight from the River Han surged forth. As the stars streamed in, the Big Dipper shone even brighter.

The next moment, the starry sky seemed to tremble. The seven stars, which had been one, spread apart like a celestial bow, shooting all the gathered starlight towards Nandou.
At this very moment, a celestial star is visible to the naked eye, traversing the heavens, piercing through the starry sea, and rapidly approaching the Nandou Starfield.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The six stars of the Southern Dipper reacted, swallowing all starlight. Then, suddenly, the six stars blazed brightly, starlight raining down from the heavens!
Star-Congealing Immortal's eyes glinted with surprise, his arm tilted downward as he pointed at Qin Sang.
Like a surging river, the mighty star power thundered into the star valley, instantly engulfing Qin Sang.
As starlight poured in, it triggered a change in the Star Valley.
Within the Xinggu, the depressed energy of stars surged, frantically flowing toward Qin Sang.
At this moment, Qin Sang was bathed in starlight. The rich power of stars enveloped him.
Here is the translation:

The celestial phenomena gradually disappeared, while the radiance in the Star Valley grew increasingly brilliant, illuminating the surrounding sea of purple bamboo.
At that moment, lights began to appear within the Star Valley, connecting into a large net that covered the entire valley, blocking out the starlight.
Everything seems to have returned to normal.

Xing qiong real person put away the lu altar, glanced at the closed Xing valley, and said to Fu ji real person who hurried over: "Let's go."
Their mission was to fulfill the request of Ling Xu Zhenren. As for whether Qin Sang could succeed, it had nothing to do with them, and they had no obligation to protect Qin Sang.
>
Qin Sang didn't expect them to protect him, so he directly used a large formation to block the star valley.
Fu Ji Zhenren replied with a sound, and when leaving, he kept looking back, very curious if Qin Sang could succeed. With such a large formation, it should be a powerful divine skill.
He never expected that someone could use Beigong Nandou's refining talisman to break through.
Inside the Star Valley.
Qin Sang had no distractions, poured all his energy into running the cultivation technique, and ethereal, mysterious starlight power surged from the top of his head into his body.
His skin instantly turned a shade of crimson, as if blood was about to burst forth.
The familiar pain came, flesh and blood being squeezed by a blade.

The stronger the physical body, the more difficult it is to break through and rebuild. Qin Sang's physical body was no longer what it used to be. After experiencing another star yuan infusion, he still endured terrible pain.
But Qin Sang was already familiar with it, only afraid that the power of Xingyuan was not enough or strong enough!
>
Qin Sang's body was like a bottomless pit, constantly absorbing all the star power. The star power converged into a torrent, churning over and over again within Qin Sang's body.
Blood transfusion and bone marrow refining, tendons and marrow forging.
The strength cultivator is precisely through repeated baptisms and transformations, tempering their physical body to the extreme.
'Whoosh!'
Qin Sang's body manifested phoenix wings.

Immediately following, the celestial crane dharma form appeared above his head, its radiance flickering and shifting as if in constant transformation.
The divine awareness and realm had been prematurely broken through, laying a solid foundation for this breakthrough. However, Qin Sang was most worried that he was not a descendant of the Heavenly Demon, and would repeat the mistakes of last time.
Fortunately, his worries did not come true!
'Boom! Boom! Boom!'
Here's the translation:

Qin Sang's body was constantly echoing with thunder, wanting to roar towards the heavens. His qi and blood transformed into tangible substance, a beam of blood light shot straight towards the stars, but it was blocked by the large formation.
Finally, his breath seemed to have crossed a threshold, surging suddenly.
Breakthrough!hange of location.When the elder Ji saw this, he was delighted and immediately took out a small pouch. "This contains gold-sinking wood and a sum of spirit stones. Please count them, Daoist friend,"Qi...
