Chapter 107: Earthly Evil Yin Vein

ad to disastrous consequences. Dongyang Bo knew this well.Qin Sang also paid the price.Qin Sang's expression was complex, his gaze gradually becoming cold and sharp. His aura seemed to have changed s...“Fellow Daoist Hong is not at the cave, and he didn't leave any messages for his friends. My friend Liu and I broke in forcefully, and we found that there hasn't been anyone here for a long time. Either Fellow Daoist Hong left in a hurry due to an emergency, or he had an accident outside.”

The two wandering cultivators, who had gone to meet Hong Shanyou, hurried back to Dianyun Mountain, looking exhausted.

Both of them were full of worry. They had a deep friendship with Hong Shan, and after the last opportunity, they hadn't seen him again. They thought that Hong Shan had found something and was in seclusion to cultivate.

Now that he hasn't shown up at even our regular gatherings, I realize he's gone missing.

Sun frowned, looked around, and asked, "Have any of you fellow cultivators spoken to Daoist Hong since our last gathering"

Everyone shook their heads.

Just then, Qin Sang arrived riding the Flying Sky Shuttle. He activated his escape light, and Sun De's eyes lit up. He couldn't wait to get up and excitedly asked, "Qin Junior Brother, when you saw Hong Daoist friend in the seabed cave last time, did he say where he was going next"

When Qin Sang fell before the crowd, he felt something was off about the gazes directed at him. He frowned slightly.

After patiently listening to Sun De's words, Qin Sang immediately understood the crux of the problem.

To put it simply, they had only ever shared a drink once and didn't really know each other. Besides, even if they were friends, killing and looting for treasures was common practice in the cultivation world.

Qin Sang had never done such a thing, and his heart was completely at ease. He said to Sun De, "Hong Daoist said he wanted to use Yin Shaqi to temper the magic weapon, so I flew a talisman over to ask Brother Sun for confirmation. After Brother Sun confirmed it, I returned to my cave to cultivate. Later, several times when I patrolled the sunken hole, I didn't see Hong Daoist again. Could it be that he disappeared"

Sun De sighed in frustration, “After that, no one ever saw Hong Dao You again. Could it be that…”

Over a dozen streaks of light descended before the sinkhole, and after Qin Sang pointed out several key restrictions, everyone gathered around the crack where Hong Shanjin had entered, searching separately within the sinkhole.

At the very top, Qin Sang frequently patrolled. As expected, he didn't find any trace of Hong Shan. Other scattered cultivators had low cultivation bases and couldn't stay in the yin-sha qi for too long. Only Qin Sang and Sun De dared to delve deep into the abyss.

This is a tricky request! It seems you want me to translate the text *inside* the HTML tags, but leave the tags themselves untouched. Could you please provide me with the actual content between the `` tags I'm ready to translate it for you once I have the text.

On his own turf, Qin Sang couldn't just stand idly by. He joined the search, and soon Sun De suddenly pointed to a crack in the ground and shouted, "Here!"

Qin Sang flew past and, seeing the scene before him, let out a slight sigh.

This fissure was very well hidden, the entrance extremely narrow. After going in, it gradually opened up, widening to a flat stone platform at its widest point. Several banners were stuck into the platform, likely used to ward off the intrusion of malevolent spirits.

In the center of the formation, Hong Shanpan sat motionless on the ground. His body was stiff, his face ashen, and there wasn't a trace of breath left in him.

His hands were spread out, holding a blade-like weapon as cold as ice, shimmering with faint cold light, and a trace of ghostly evil energy lingered above it.

Sun De kicked the battle flag aside and walked to Hong Shan's side, checking him over before shaking his head. "The yin sha energy has entered his body, turning him into a lump of ice. I warned Hong Daoist friend long ago that the method of refining magical artifacts using yin sha energy was not orthodox and extremely dangerous. If one is not careful, they will injure themselves. He didn't take my advice to heart, and now he suffers this misfortune. It's truly a pity... Qin junior brother, collect your Daoist friend's belongings. I'll take his remains up the mountain and give him a proper burial."

Two people carried Hong Shan's body up, and upon hearing the story, everyone fell silent.

Sun De handed Hong Shan's ice-blade weapon, battle flag, and pouch to his friend, saying: "Daoist Bai, I remember Daoist Hong had descendants. These are all the relics of Daoist Hong, left for his descendants. When you bury Daoist Hong, let me know, and I will definitely go pay my respects."

Upon hearing this tragic news, everyone lost their enthusiasm for gathering and dispersed in small groups.

Watching everyone leave, Qin Sang felt a bit uncertain and turned to Sun De, asking, "Senior Brother Sun, should we report this matter to the sect"

Sun Dedao: “Qin Shidi, you can decide for yourself whether to mention it or not. It doesn’t really matter anyway. The Wang Shishu who guarded the sinkhole before you also disappeared suddenly, even worse than Hong Daoyou. His body wasn’t found either, and there's a suspicion he may have fallen into the sinkhole. The sect sent over a Shifu to take a look, but then they just ignored it. After all, Hong Daoyou is just an itinerant cultivator, who would care”

Qin Sang was surprised and said, "Didn't that Master Uncle search the depths of the earth cave"

"How could you possibly find it"

Sun shook his head and smiled wryly, “Beneath this sinkhole lies a sinister earth vein. The ominous energy above is merely a facade. It's the Yin Qi formed by countless souls being devoured and condensed by the earth vein. Compared to the Earth Vein Qi, it’s like heaven and earth. Legend has it that a senior master at the Golden Core stage personally intervened but didn't dare venture too deep into the Earth Vein. He retreated and settled for using restrictions outside to seal it off. That senior uncle wouldn't even go in. The Earth Vein is unpredictable, with who knows what strange beings lurking within. Brother Qin, you must be careful,”

After Sun De left, Qin Sang fell into thought. No wonder the magic weapon on her body couldn't withstand the chilling coldness emanating from the abyss. It was said that the evil qi of the earth was the most yin and sinister qi in the world. This chasm actually had an entire vein of earth-sha evil qi.

Qin Sang, upon learning of this, dared not venture into the depths of the subterranean cave. He honestly and earnestly remained on the uppermost level. After all, the yin shaqi was abundant, more than sufficient for his cultivation.

When not on patrol or cultivating, I would return to Mount ShaoHua to listen to my senior uncle's teachings, or gather with fellow cultivators on Peak DianYun.

Qin Sang's focused cultivation brought back memories of his time at Quyin Sect. He couldn't help but wonder about the current circumstances of the Tan brothers and Shi Jing, his senior sister. Were they fleeing with the remaining remnants of Quyin Sect, or had they fallen back into being itinerant cultivators

After going through so much, Qin Sang found it difficult to open up to others. Even with Sun De, even after meeting so many times, Qin Sang always felt a distance between them.

After determining which swordsmanship school he originated from, he went to Baota Tower Peak to exchange for the true sword manual. This sword technique is called

, containing exquisite sword nurturing and sword control techniques, which can greatly enhance combat power. Many Huashan disciples choose to cultivate this sword manual.

This sword technique has three layers. The first layer is cultivating the sword and commanding the sword. Qin Sang now understands sword energy, which puts him at the second layer. Many disciples of Shaohua Mountain lack good spiritual swords and cannot withstand the power of sword energy, getting stuck at this step. The third layer is transforming sword energy into a rainbow, allowing the sword to fly. It requires breaking through the foundation-building stage to use it at will.

The ancestral master of the Song family had many flaws in his comprehension. Qin Sang, following the original version from beginning to end, removed the unnecessary and kept the essential. As a result, the connection between the烏木 sword and her mind became even closer, and a hint of joy appeared on her face.

Once he breaks through to the tenth level, he won't need to constantly prepare spirit stones to absorb spiritual energy. He can simply move his mind and wield his spirit sword to kill enemies. That's what a true swordsman is!The gray-clad man stared intently at the bone sword, and suddenly took a step forward. He retrieved a jade bottle from his pouch, "Senior, please take a look at this elixir pill. Would you be willing...
