Ask about the Immortal Way

The entrance to the orifice.

There was poisonous mist surrounding Qin Sang. To the naked eye, the cave was so deep that the bottom could not be seen.

‘Swish, brush, brush…’

Several streaks of light flew out and landed on the edge of the cave entrance. A total of eight spiritual flags formed a Bagua formation, surrounding the cave entrance in the center.

The spiritual flags were arranged in formation, just in case.

Qin Sang has been practicing here for decades and has always been very wary of the aperture eyes, but he has not noticed any abnormalities. There does not seem to be any signs of living things here.

After setting up a large formation, Qin Sang flicked out an iron ball and turned into a black dog when it hit the ground.

The black dog seemed to have sensed the danger inside. It was crawling like a living creature, staring at the entrance of the cave and whining.

The black dog is actually a puppet. It was specially refined with the help of Mo Xingdao for pathfinding. It is integrated with the poison path restriction in the body and is integrated with the poison-proofing light to a certain extent.

"go!"

Qin Sang activated the poison bead, creating a beam of poison-repelling light that sank into the black dog's body. With a command, the black dog jumped into the hole.

He waited for a moment and followed slowly.

The moment he entered the cave entrance, a coldness hit his face, and the rustling sound of flowing poisonous mist came from the depths of the orifice, like the whimpering of a ghost, which made people feel chilly.

Qin Sang walked forward in the poisonous mist, his mind connected with the formation in the flower field space, sensing the restrictions here, and trying to find out the cause of the abnormal changes in the orifice from the changes in the formation.

Not long after, Qin Sang paused slightly, frowned, walked forward for a while, and saw the first black dog standing frozen on the roadside.

The black dog was completely unrecognizable at this moment. The originally black body was covered in rust and could not move, and the poison continued to corrode inwards.

In a few breaths, the appearance of the black dog was almost gone, and it became a broken metal. The surface of the body began to melt, and eventually turned into a pool of poisonous water.

"The toxicity is really strong..."

Qin Sang shook his head slightly. According to the formation calculation, he was still more than 90% away from the center of the orifice. Fortunately, he brought enough puppets.

He called out a black dog again and continued to explore the road, and so on again and again.

The deeper you go, the shorter the puppet's support time becomes, but Qin Sang doesn't feel any difficulty as he uses the poison element and the poison-repelling light armor.

Moreover, the expected danger did not appear. It was approaching the center of the eye, and the poisonous mist remained calm.

Unexpectedly, as soon as this thought crossed his mind, the connection between him and the puppet in front of him was suddenly interrupted.

At the same time, a dark wind struck from the front.

At the last moment, what Qin Sang saw through the puppet was a shadow. The puppet stood dead. The shadow had a humanoid outline, and it was most likely alive!

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he used all his strength to activate the poison pearls in his body, and the poison-repelling light flashed continuously, condensing on his body into an almost substantial seven-color treasure armor.

The treasure armor is thick, and the light reflects the surging poisonous mist in front, and there is a ghostly figure in the mist.

The dark wind blew against my face, and the sound of swords suddenly sounded.

The Gray Warbler sword broke through the fog and came out.

The cave is not very wide, and can accommodate at most three people walking side by side. At this moment, the sword energy is arrogant and horizontal, as if it is going to penetrate the mountain wall.

‘Uh-huh! ’

The sword shadow disappeared in a flash, and the surrounding light seemed to become darker, but it was Qin Sang who used the Qisu Sword Formation.

The sword array sealed the cave, and the shadow was immediately shrouded in it, revealing its true form under the focus of starlight.

The sword formation is mysterious, and the shadows cannot break the formation and can only wander in the 'starry sky'.

Qin Sang stared at the monster in the formation with a strange look on his face.

The shadow looks like a living creature, able to move around and instinctively kill enemies, but it doesn't look like it has intelligence.

However, the shadow reminded Qin Sang of the flower fairy he met back then, and there were similarities.

After a while, Qin Sang thought of something again. His thoughts moved slightly, and the swords and stars met, turning into a white tiger and slashing down fiercely.

The shadow raised its head and roared at the White Tiger Fierce, and a thick poisonous mist arose in its body. It was no match for the White Tiger Fierce. The poisonous mist and the shadow's form were washed away on the spot.

Qin Sang made a false move, and a black energy flew into his palm.

"really!"

Qin Sang felt a familiar aura from the black energy, the strange power that once poisoned the disciples of Molecular Cricket Mountain.

He had previously guessed that the strange power came from the eye, and it was indeed the case.

After running the poison element and sensing it for a while, he knew that the black energy was extremely toxic. There was a difference between the strange power in the body of the Molecular Mountain disciple and the black energy. He probably only scratched the surface, otherwise this woman would not be able to see him.

"Shadows are like living creatures. Isn't that flower fairy transformed from a flower spirit, but a shadow? How many flower fairies were gestated in the orifice?"

Qin Sang was a little confused. What he saw in his eyes was inconsistent with the records in the Poison God Codex.

He guessed that maybe the owner of the flower field had made changes privately, or maybe the eyes had mutated on their own due to being without an owner for many years.

Knowing the existence of shadows, Qin Sang was extra careful. If there were not many flower fairies and he happened to kill the fairies to get the pearls, but if the orifices were crowded with flower fairies, he would have to stay away.

Sealing the black energy, Qin Sang continued to go deeper, and soon encountered a second shadow. He also used the sword array to kill it, and successfully reached the core of the eye.

At the end of the cave is a dark space, with a faint fluorescent light flickering in the center of the space.

With this little light, you can see strange shadows wandering in the darkness.

Seeing this scene, Qin Sang's eyelids twitched, and he suppressed his aura with all his strength to avoid attracting a siege.

The shadows here are the same kind as those he killed. They are ignorant and seem to be bound here by a strange force, unwilling to leave.

Qin Sang used the power of his third eye and looked through the shadows to see clearly the source of the fluorescence. His heart suddenly moved and his face showed surprise.

The source of fluorescence is a fruit, as big as a plum, as crystal clear as a grape, with a skin that can be broken by blowing, as if the nectar will flow with just a slight touch.

The spiritual fruit is extremely tempting.

In fact, Qin Sang's eyes became fiery. He had been practicing poisonous arts for many years and was very familiar with flower dew. The smell of this fruit was very similar to flower dew!

Looking around, Qin Sang had a rough guess in his mind. He calmly retreated outside, took out a stream of black energy with his back palm, and began to understand it carefully.

Not long after, Qin Sang suddenly understood, returned to the core of the eye, and nodded secretly, already 80% sure in his heart.

Black energy is the basis for the existence of shadows. In the core of the black energy, there are faint fluctuations similar to the ball in the flower fairy's body.

It can be speculated that Huaxian evolved from the shadow, but the shadow in the eye was forcibly interrupted by a special force before the transformation, and stayed in this special state.

That kind of power comes from a formation in the aperture.

When Qin Sang found out the function of this formation, he couldn't help but praise its exquisiteness.

This formation is embedded in the core of the Flower Field Formation in a clever way. The Qi of the two formations are perfectly integrated and almost integrated. People who are not familiar with the "Poison God Codex" cannot tell the difference.

The excess flower dew gathers here and is transformed by this formation to produce the spiritual fruit.

The spiritual fruit is actually a poisonous fruit watered by flower dew. It is preserved in this form to prevent waste and prevent it from being left alone for a long time, giving birth to extremely powerful flower fairies and causing the flower fields to change owners.

This transformation cannot be perfect, and the rest will follow the original formation and escape to the outside world. The toxicity will change and integrate into the external poison ban. No flower fairy will be born.

The other part becomes these shadows, and when it becomes powerful enough, it interrupts its evolution, and is bound to the eye, never being able to escape.

What's more important is that the black energy in the shadow body will not be completely integrated with the resentment like the flower fairy's ball, making it inseparable.

Practitioners can separate the power of resentment, although it takes some effort, and the speed of cultivation is faster than if they don't cultivate the poison element.

Of course, to Qin Sang, it doesn't matter whether he has resentment or not.

This formation also has limits and is not without loopholes.

There are too many shadows gathering in the eyes, and one day the formation will overturn, and then the shadows will no longer be restrained.

The flower fairy is the lucky one to get rid of the bondage. If Qin Sang and others do not come, when the flower fairy grows up, suppresses the instinctive fear, no longer afraid of the rejection of the eye formation, breaks the formation, swallows the same kind and poisonous fruits, and will Become a fierce demon!

Now it's all Qin Sang's advantage.

Qin Sang was not only pleasantly surprised, but also amazed. He had gained some attainments in the formation method, but he couldn't arrange such a formation.

The people who set up the formation are definitely not taking it easy!

It can be seen from this that in the "Poison God Canon" Taoism, there were also descendants with amazing talents who improved the methods of their ancestors.

But for some unknown reason, this person has disappeared without a trace in the world of immortality, and no relevant books can be found.

"Perhaps, there are records in the Taoist court..."

Qin Sang thought to himself, sitting cross-legged in the cave, staring at the shadows wandering everywhere. Every time a single shadow approached, he would trap it with a sword array and kill it silently.

Wisps of black energy fell into Qin Sang's hands.

After collecting part of it, Qin Sang stopped, stood up, took a deep look at the tempting poisonous fruit, and stepped back.

The poisonous fruit should not be taken lightly. It must be picked after killing all the shadows. Otherwise, the shadows will be angered and break free from the turmoil of the formation, causing the demons in the flower field to dance wildly.

Qin Sang couldn't wait to return to the cave and use the black energy to practice. The poison in the black energy was not as strong as the Flower Fairy Ball, but it was better than the flower dew. There was no need to worry about the lack of flower dew in a short time.

From then on, every time he had free time, Qin Sang would go into the eye to clean out the shadows. After several attempts, the eye would be cleared, leaving only the poisonous fruit.

A faint fragrance lingers on the tip of the nose.

The poisonous fruit has no roots or stems. It seems to grow in the void and emerge out of thin air. In fact, the aura of the poisonous fruit is connected to the formation and is rooted in the formation.

After pondering for a while, Qin Sang stretched out his right hand and wrapped it in the poison-proofing glow. He was about to touch the poisonous fruit, but suddenly took it back and stared at the poisonous fruit with a frown.

He sensed that the poisonous fruit and the formation's energy were actually one, and taking the poisonous fruit hastily could destroy the Aperture Formation, thereby shaking the foundation of the entire formation.

During this time, Qin Sang has learned this formation and knows how to repair it. However, the fusion of the two formations is very mysterious, and it is very difficult to repair it after it is damaged.

While thinking about it, Qin Sang's expression moved slightly. He turned his parallel fingers into a knife and gently scratched the skin of the poisonous fruit. When even a drop of slurry squeezed out, it fell into the jade bottle that Qin Sang had prepared.

The light of the poison fruit dimmed a little, and the formation was turbulent, but the disturbance quickly calmed down.

Qin Sang sealed the jade bottle and smiled.

He only needs to take away the slurry bit by bit, and no one around him can enter the flower field. It doesn't matter if the spiritual fruit stays here.

Returning to the cave with the jade bottle, Qin Sang tried to refine it, and his eyes suddenly glowed with surprise.

The poisonous fruit sap and flower dew have the same origin, and are actually purer and richer than the flower dew essence. If you refine the slurry yourself, your cultivation speed may be faster than before!

…

Eight years passed leisurely.

"The appointed day is coming soon..."

Qin Sang woke up from trance and remembered her agreement with Master Qi to start armor refining in the near future.

Master Qi has been working hard for the fragments of the real treasure for decades. The hope of success this time is very high, but Qin Sang is not excited about getting the treasure. Instead, he sighs quietly.

After a little tidying up, Qin Sang walked out of the political arena, took a breath and disappeared.

In eight years, he only went back once to deliver the corpses of ferocious beasts. He wondered what the situation in the world of immortality was like.

It was an uneventful journey, and we arrived at Huzhong Island and met Master Qi in the fire room.

"Fellow Taoist is finally here!"

Master Qi looked a little nervous, but he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Qin Sang.

"Pindao will control the fire for you again, so you can go ahead and do it!" Qin Sang comforted.

Master Qi suddenly laughed, "I have nothing to fear, of course. Even if the furnace explodes, can my fellow Taoist go to the underworld to collect debts from me?"

Qin Sang knew it was a joke, so he couldn't help laughing and shook his head repeatedly.

Through laughter, Master Qi vented the tension in his heart and asked Qin Sang to close the fire room for the final discussion.

One month later.

The door of the mansion was closed tightly, and Master Qi's disciples gathered in front of the fire room, all with nervous faces.

In the fire room, the square tripod was activated. Qin Sangsi was responsible for controlling the fire. He did not look at the spiritual fire, but the spiritual fire was extremely tame.

Under Qin Sang's gaze, Master Qi raised the fragment of the true treasure and hung it above the square tripod. With his fingers like wheels, he struck out the seals one after another and blended them into the water waves in the fragments.

This refining was different from the previous one. Master Qi devoted all his life's knowledge to refining the fragments of the true treasure without any distractions. This continued for several days and remained the same.

The fragments appear to be the same, but the power of the seal on the surface may have been superimposed thousands of times!

Master Qi cannot survive alone, so Qin Sang needs help.

After the two of them worked together to refine it, the water color of the true treasure fragments became obviously darker. Until the last seal was played, water waves suddenly jumped up from the cauldron, and the color of the water filled the fire room.

"quick!"

Master Qi completely handed over the fragments of the true treasure to Qin Sang, and immediately activated other spiritual materials to refine the armor.

…

After ten months.

The disciples who were waiting anxiously suddenly felt the ground shake, and a mixture of hot and cold power spurted out from the fire chamber. Those with lower cultivation levels turned pale and retreated continuously.

Everyone looked at the fire room door with uneasiness.

In the fire room, the spiritual fire stopped for a moment, revealing two tired figures.

Master Qi held a pair of armor in his hand, his face full of uncontrollable excitement.

The armor is only about the size of a palm, with no armor pieces, and the entire armor is made of water.

Qin Sang's voice sounded, "This armor is from the master's hand. Please name it."

Gratitude flashed in Master Qi's eyes, and he hesitated for a long time, as if recalling some past events, with a faint smile on his face, "I lived under Mingshan Mountain when I was young, so this armor is called Mingshan Armor. How about it?"

"Mingshan Armor, what a name!" Qin Sang nodded.

Master Qi played with it for a long time and couldn't put it down. He reluctantly handed the Mingshan Armor to Qin Sang. Watching Qin Sang refining it, he suddenly looked up to the sky with an incomprehensible expression and an ethereal tone: "Do you think the way of refining weapons can lead to immortality?"

He was obsessed with refining weapons, but missed the opportunity to practice.

Is it because he has dull qualifications and does not know his true intentions, or is he really unable to have both?

Qin Sang raised his head and said in a deep voice: "There are three thousand great avenues, and the art of weapon refining is among them. How can we be surprised by the others!"

Master Qi lowered his head sadly and murmured softly: "It's too late to meet fellow Taoist..."

Finally, he sighed heavily, "It's too late!"

…

Two months later.

North of Xingdao Fairy Lake.

Qin Sang and all his disciples witnessed Master Qi's escape from the tribulation, and his death under the tribulation thunder.

At the last moment, Qin Sang seemed to see a shadow in the calamity cloud, and said goodbye in the distance.
