Chapter 2016: Evil Wind and Mysterious Thunder
Qin Sang's eye.Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!Among them, the Winged Centipede Village cultivates Winged Centipedes. Qin Sang disliked the potential of Winged Centipedes...Wandering through a 'chaotic time-space,' experiencing one after another fantastic and gorgeous sight, the ancient elegance gradually became commonplace.
Having crossed another small fragment of the Myriad Worlds, Gu Ya discovered Qin Sang had suddenly stopped, gazing ahead with a hint of wistfulness.

At the edge of nothingness, there appeared a dazzling array of colors. Some were distinct, while others blended seamlessly into one another. Yet within each glimmer, a different scene unfolded, all surpassing human imagination and unlike anything naturally conceived.
And some, though seemingly placid and tranquil on the surface, with no outward signs of danger, exude an aura that sends shivers down Gu Ya's spine. Had she come alone, she would undoubtedly have steered clear.
Seeing these familiar sights, Qin Sang thought of Gu Shan's altar. The scene before him was just like Gu Shan's altar. It was the supernatural power left behind by the ancient great powers' battles, seemingly eternal and imperishable. After undergoing countless years of transformation, it had evolved into a real illusion.
I still remember that period, when Qin Sang was probably cultivating at his fastest pace. He hid within the healing altar, undisturbed by anyone. All he needed to do was focus wholeheartedly and immerse himself in cultivation.
>
Fengju Yumen should be far grander than Gu Shanchi, unlike Gu Shanchi's altar which appears 'crowded'. There are gaps between some of the brilliance, creating patches of dark void. Those divine visions and illusions are basically stable; as long as one is careful, a Yuan Ying cultivator could pass through safely.
Moreover, there are fragmented miniature worlds here, dividing the illusions into regions of varying degrees of danger.
Of course, Qin Sang is still outside Fengju Yumeng. There might be changes inside yet.
At a glance, there wasn't much of value here. It seemed to have been ransacked countless times already.
'Dong! Dong! Dong!'
A heart-like thumping sound came from Qin Sang's palm.
Upon entering Fengju Yumen, the heirloom blood print reacted noticeably. At this moment, Qin Sang's palm glowed with a blood-red light, and the heirloom blood print pulsed powerfully, providing Qin Sang with a clear guidance.
At Fengju Yumen, it's very easy to get disoriented and lost. Many cultivators have been lost here. Qin Sang turned his head and looked in what should have been the northwest direction. According to the reaction of the inherited bloodprint, the target was estimated to be not far away.
The speed increased by a few points. Qin Sang shuttled through the illusionary realm like lightning, sometimes almost brushing past the illusions, even stirring up faint ripples. This was a far cry from the cautiousness he had shown at the Gu Shan Zhi Ji altar earlier. Gu Ya's heart trembled with fear.
Here, day and night are indistinguishable, and I don't know how far we've traveled. Gu Ya suddenly remembered something and whispered, "Senior, be careful. It is said that Fengju Yumen has a natural disaster called the Evil Wind and Phantom Thunder."
Qin Sang hummed, "This location isn't too deep. It should be rarely affected by the evil winds and thunder."
Xiefeng gui lei, similar to a mist waterfall in a sea of fog, is a unique calamity exclusive to Fengju Yumen. Being called "evil and strange", one can imagine how dangerous it is.
>
There are various accounts about the origins of Evil Wind and Ghostly Thunder.
One theory suggests that the aftermath of powerful divine abilities from ancient battlefields hasn't subsided, creating ripples in the space. Another theory points to the destruction of countless small worlds, affecting the larger world and causing spatial instability. Some believe Mount Fengjǔ Yùmén was an ancient sacred mountain of the Wu tribe, where their massive formations may still have remnants.
All sorts of rumors circulate, but what can be confirmed is that every time the evil wind and strange thunder appear, they reap countless lives. Countless individuals who sought quick ascension to heaven end up buried here.
The wicked wind and eerie thunder originate from the depths of Fengju Yumen, their power gradually diminishing as it spreads outwards. However, every calamity that arises shakes the already stable divine visions and fragments of the Xia Qian world, bringing unforeseen dangers.
Although disasters often have warning signs, the time given for people to react is very short. It's impossible to prevent them entirely, so all we can do is try to avoid danger as much as possible. The best way to cope is to assess our own capabilities, resist temptation, and stay away from places we shouldn't go.
As they spoke, Qin Sang slowed his pace and swept his gaze around. Suddenly, he entered a realm of divine illusions.
Within the illusion, dazzling white light filled everything. There was nothing else but light. The moment Qin Sang entered, he keenly realized that these lights subtly influenced one's spiritual perception.
After a dash through the white light, Qin Sang arrived at the other end of Shen Tong Huan Jing and found that there were two more Shen Tong Huan Jing in front of him. The three illusions were huddled together, with only a narrow gap in between.
At this moment, the familial blood imprint's fluctuations reached their peak, seemingly about to break free at any moment, its target being the void within the fissure.
Qin Sang's eyes flashed, a little surprised. Such a narrow space actually concealed an entrance to a small thousand world.
Raising the heirloom blood seal, a bloody light swept away the darkness, leaving behind a tiny glimmer. Qin Sang's figure flickered and passed through the light, instantly entering another space.
This small thousand world should be the smallest Qin Sang has ever seen, like it hasn't fully developed yet. It is less than a thousand miles in radius, and everywhere are undulating mountains.
This space is smaller than the outside world, and Qin Sang is uncertain whether this place is also a fragment or a newly formed small thousand world.
Qin Sang retracted the elegant protective aura, and Gu Ya couldn't help but sniff her delicate nose, catching a faint fragrance.
Following the fragrance, they heard the gurgling sound of water coming from ahead. They immediately saw that in the center of a large valley there was a clear pool, with spring water constantly bubbling up from it. The fragrance came from the spring water.
At the front of the valley stood a stone tablet inscribed with "Chen Family Secret Residence."
All around Cheongdam, prohibition lights flickered everywhere. In each prohibition, there was one or several medicinal herbs.
Gu Ya was taken aback. Of these spirit herbs, she could recognize many that were incredibly valuable. As for those she couldn't identify, a glance was enough to tell her they weren't ordinary.
"What kind of spring is this It seems to be able to nourish spirit medicine..."
Qin Sang also saw that the surroundings of Qingtan were top-notch medicine fields, no worse than Bixing Cave Heaven. There were a few medicinal herbs that even cultivators at the Refining Void stage would be tempted to see, and they were already mature.
"Reindeer blood, green pearl original bamboo..."
>
Qin Sang looked at each one, secretly sighing in pity. He had a rudimentary understanding of alchemy, but had neglected it over time. He wanted to refine spirit pills but lacked the strength and the corresponding formulas.
However, it could be traded for quite a few spirit materials, which is an unexpected bonus.
That old fiend, Chen, merely treated this place as a medicinal herb field and left behind no other treasures. Qin Sang's figure flickered as he took away those top-grade spirit herbs, leaving the rest for Gu Ya, and said to her: "There is no danger here, stay here and heal your wounds first, old man will take care of things here and then leave with you, first to Kan Prefecture."
Kanzhou, one of the Eight Great Heavenly States, is located in the east.
The Kan Gua is said to be located not on land, but in the East China Sea. It is rumored to be a gigantic ancient turtle, so massive that its shell bears an entire fairy city upon it.
It is rumored that the ancient giant tortoise from back then is still alive, sleeping soundly. If it's true, living for such a long time could be considered a form of immortality.
"Senior, how long will you be back" Gu Yasha was afraid of being left behind when she finally met a senior from the lower realm.
"It won't be long, old man still has some things to do, wait for you to recover and come out to help me. I'll pass on a method of refining the Jade Heart Sword, strive to advance to a Spiritual Treasure as soon as possible, and when you return, you can kill several more members of the Changyou Clan."

Qin Sang took out a blank jade slip, inscribed with secret techniques, and gave it to Gu Ya.
"Thank you, Senior Qin, for gifting me with these teachings! This junior will definitely study them diligently!" Gu Ya happily received the scroll and eagerly began to browse it.
After settling Guya, Qin Sang stayed for a while longer, carefully setting up restrictions on the two captives before leaving Chen's secret manor and hurrying to their agreed-upon meeting place.
The agreed-upon place was still deeper within the Fengju Yumen Pass, a void stretching for hundreds of miles.
Illusions surrounded the void. Qin Sang walked through them, entering the void and seeing a chariot parked in the center. Xin Shaozu and the others had already arrived.
The dragon and phoenix pulling the carriage have vanished, replaced by a graceful palace that hangs serenely in mid-air.
Around the Luan car, there were several stone platforms, each with a cultivator sitting cross-legged on top. Qu Zhen and his people also occupied one of them.
Other stone platforms were filled with unfamiliar faces, they must be the elite of the Xin family mentioned by Master Xin. The lowest cultivation level was Nascent Soul Stage, and each team was led by a Divine Transformation cultivator.
The instant Qin Sang entered the void, his eyes narrowed as he gazed at the palace. On one side was Xin Shaozhu's private chamber, still draped with light gauze curtains concealing her features. On the other side, it was empty, with only the two of them.
A stranger, a young man, sat cross-legged behind a jade table, eyes closed. Luo the steward carefully waited on him.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
The young man had a slender face with exceptionally thick eyebrows. He wore a silver robe that shimmered like metal, woven from countless tiny plates, as soft as silk.
This person was clearly a Xianxu cultivator, their aura even thicker than Qin Sang's, comparable to that of the solitary Cloud Elder. They were already close to the mid-stage of Xianxu.
Meanwhile, the young man's eyes widened, his gaze carrying a compelling intensity, landing on Qin Sang's face.

"See Elder Qin."
Qū Zhēn and the others also saw Qin Sang, and immediately stood up to greet him. Those Xīn family cultivators also rose one after another, secretly looking at Qin Sang.
“Elder Qin has finally arrived,” a voice from behind the silk curtain said, “Allow me to introduce you both. This is Senior Pei, our family's honored guest at the Xin family, who has helped us through many crises on several occasions. Senior Pei, this is Elder Qin of the Wu Xing Alliance, whom your juniors have specially invited to assist us.”
Pei Gongfeng frowned and asked coldly, "Why didn't you consult with me before asking a cultivator of the Refining Void stage for help"
His tone was as if he were questioning a junior.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Xin Shaozhu's tone remained calm as he patiently explained: "This journey requires a master alchemist. Someone of the Nascent Soul stage could achieve such skill, but that is extremely rare. These past years, I have also tried to find someone suitable, but there was no one who met the requirements. Before the senior had arrived, I acted on my own accord."
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
Pei Gongfeng let out a cold snort. "You hide everything from me. What kind of help do you need Isn't it still up to your Xin family to decide How many clans and noble families would love to have my protection. If not for Xin brother's sake, do you think a mere Xin family could even catch my eye"
"It's not that I, the junior one, intentionally concealed it. As senior, you also know that before my father passed away, he forced me to swear an oath and forbade me from revealing even a single word to outsiders."
Sin Shaozhu's voice was bitter, "When we find the place, all the truth will come to light. Please be more patient, senior."
At this moment, Qin Sang flew forward, stepping into the palace. He first bowed to Pei Gongfeng, a half-smile playing on his lips: "Pei Gongfeng seems unwilling to welcome me. Won't Shao Xin break our agreement"
He agreed to Xin Shaozhu's invitation, on the one hand to conceal his true intentions, and on the other hand to borrow manpower from the Xin family. As for whether or not to help the Xin family refine weapons, it was a matter of indifference.
Before the previous negotiations, Master Xin put forth two conditions: first, providing a sufficient amount of purple source stones; second, requesting Qin Sang to become the enshrined figure of the Xin family. Upon finding the target, the harvest would serve as compensation. The matter of becoming enshrined could be reconsidered after the target was found.
Qin Sang didn't care about the Xin family's reward and agreed casually, but now it seems that being a shrine guardian is not so easy.
Playing with fire
If Master Xin was indeed behind this, he seems to have mistaken his target.
"The Wuxing Alliance is renowned throughout the land. Elder Qin, as a member of the Wuxing Alliance, possesses unmatched skill in the way of refining weapons. Even Senior Pei would likely find it difficult to discover someone who surpasses Elder Qin," said Xin, the young master.
Pei Gongfeng was not polite to Xin Shao, but he did not seem angry at Qin Sang. He stood up and returned a salute, his expression indifferent: "The die is cast, why should an old man play the villain Besides, when you started your actions, the news would certainly not be kept secret. In a short time, where could you find a master craftsman"
“This journey relies heavily on Senior Pei and Elder Qin,” A figure of Young Master Xin could be faintly seen bowing deeply behind the curtain.
Qin Sang remained noncommittal.

Young Master Xin coughed lightly, and the Xin family immediately left the stone platform and lined up in front of the palace. Qu Zhen also brought his people closer.
Then, Luo the steward stepped forward and took out a stack of yellow talismans, distributing them to the various leaders. Even Qu Zhen received one.
Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!
Along with that was also distributed a Feng Shui map.
“Everyone, please hold onto this talisman and search along the route marked above. When searching, you must constantly burn true essence within it. Normally, it will emit red flames. If the flames appear abnormal, stay put and send a message immediately. The future of the Xin family depends on all of you!” Young Master Xin said solemnly.
"Elder Qin"
This is a tricky request! It seems like you're asking me to translate the text *within* the HTML tags, but leave the tags themselves unchanged. Could you please provide the actual text content inside the tags so I can accurately translate it for you
Feeling Xin Shao's gaze, Qin Sang plucks out several streaks of light with his fingers, landing them on the feng shui maps in the hands of the leaders, leaving markings.
“When searching, please go to these locations and record the surrounding environment. Qin will then make a judgment. Whoever finds the Hua Yu Gui Teng, Qin will offer a generous reward.”
The marked locations were all carefully selected by Qin Sang after combining numerous geomancy maps. He thoroughly investigated each one and, based on his findings, planned the route accordingly.
Pei Gongfeng had been meditating with his eyes closed, saying nothing. He paid no attention to the actions of Xin Shaozu and Qin Sang.
"Right then!"
Everyone bowed in response and immediately left separately.
Qin Sang also walked out of the palace and said, "Qin will also go to find medicine on his own, so I'll take my leave first. If I have any discoveries, I will report them to my friends immediately."
With a greeting, Qin Sang led Qu Zhen and the others away.
>
He chose a place where only cultivators of the Void Refining realm could get close, and he had to go there himself.
Leading Qin Zhen and the others deeper, they arrived at a void. Qin Sang ordered the members of the Hengsha Association to split into two groups to explore, leaving only Qin Zhen by his side.
"Tell me in detail, where did you want to take the old man before, and how is it related to the ancient sword pavilion"
