Chapter 79: Mid-Grade Spirit Stones
unable to see the bigger picture like those outside. Their vision was completely obstructed, and they couldn't perceive the glimmer of the spiritual herbs. They could only rely on memory, recalling t...After swallowing two more Water Dew Pills to slowly recover his body, Qin Sang impatiently opened his pouch and dumped the contents onto the ground.
On his way here, he had already refined the Mystic Mirror and claimed it for himself.
The God-Confusing Mirror was not actually a single mirror, but a set of eight bronze mirrors nested together, one main and seven auxiliary.
A mirror made of eight faces can be arranged into a mirror array to trap people. It is unusually sturdy, and the mist emanating from the array has a disorienting effect.
However, the mirror array is not so easy to set up. It takes a certain amount of time to prepare, and it's even more difficult to use than the ebony sword. The mirror array cannot be moved; once it's placed in a location, it can only wait for the enemy to jump in on their own. Otherwise, it won't have any effect.
Moreover, the disorienting effect of the mist is not permanent. It only works if you strike at the moment when the mirror formation is first opened and the opponent has not yet been able to free themselves from the mist's influence.
When she was inside the mirror array, Qin Sang didn't feel any hallucinatory effects at all. After thinking about it, she could only attribute it to the jade Buddha.
The power of the Divination Mirror is undeniable, but unfortunately, it's difficult to exert its full potential within the Bagua Forbidden Zone. It remains to be seen whether Shen Jing's luck is good or bad.
Compared to the Divination Mirror, what pleased Qin Sang most were still the Dragon Saber and Wind of Void.

Just with these two artifacts, Yang Yu Zang would have definitely won a spot if he hadn't fallen to his and Shen Jing's hands.
The power of the Chi Long Sword needless to say, it is considered the top grade among spirit swords, far surpassing the Blood Knife and Bi Bo Sword.
Qin Sang's ebony sword was certainly sharp, but it consumed a great deal of energy and needed to be prepared in advance before use. The Chimera Dragon Sword could be used directly against the enemy, and its power was not much less.
The Wind-Binding Charm is a superior magical artifact. It appears as a wisp of grayish-white smoke, feeling as smooth as silk when held in the palm of your hand.
Qin Sang was seeing this kind of magic weapon for the first time, and he couldn't help but be amazed.
With just the Wind Summoning Ritual, you can ride the wind, fly through the air, and move at great speed. The ritual doesn't consume much spiritual energy. Although it only allows you to rise one or two feet off the ground, this is enough to climb mountains, cross valleys, and escape danger.
For cultivators in the Qi Refinement period, it is absolutely a treasure.
Qin Sang immediately entered his divine sense into the Pingshu Feng, easily refining it. He opened his mouth and inhaled, drawing the Pingshu Feng into his stomach and hiding it in his Qi Sea. With a mere thought, wind would rise beneath his feet.
Fully armed, Qin Sang felt confident. His only regret was the lack of a good defensive magic tool. Unfortunately, the casting ring had been destroyed in the clash with the Ebony Sword.
Yang Yu' Zang was quite wealthy. Besides his usual income, he possessed several low-grade magical artifacts and some spirit stones. Shen Jing's pouch contained nothing but trinkets: silk and satin, rouge and powder, jewelry and ornaments – a complete collection.
The only thing that surprised Qin Sang was that Yang Yuan Zang's pouch actually contained a piece of medium-grade spirit stone!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
In terms of value, a mid-grade spirit stone is equivalent to one hundred low-grade spirit stones, but in actual transactions, there will be some fluctuations depending on the bargaining between the two parties.
The spiritual energy contained within a mid-grade spirit stone is not only more abundant than that of a lower-grade spirit stone, but also purer. As such, the refining speed when absorbed will be faster as well.
But for Qin Sang, medium-grade spirit stones had a more important meaning.
According to the Song Family Sword Manual's description of swordsmanship realms, Qin Sang could now basically achieve spiritual control of the sword and move it at will. This could be considered as having a glimpse into the path, but his cultivation was too low for the flying sword to be separated from him by too great a distance.
As long as he continues to hone his skills in the sword, he may one day be able to generate sword qi, and even reach the state where his sword qi is like a rainbow.
The Song Family Sword Manual states that if one understands the essence of sword qi, coupled with the Black Wood Sword's inherent power, its might would be doubled and its speed would skyrocket, swift as lightning. Once unleashed, it would pierce through the heavens like a white rainbow.
But similarly, the consumption of spiritual power will also increase several times.
Cultivators below the tenth level of the Qi Refining Period, relying solely on low-grade spirit stones would be insufficient to sustain themselves. They could only barely activate their sword qi with the aid of mid-grade spirit stones.
Qin Sang's kendo realm wasn't there yet, but he still took the middle-grade spirit stone with a solemn expression.
Originally, Qin Sang wouldn't have had the opportunity to obtain a mid-grade spirit stone. He was planning to focus on improving his cultivation after reaching the stage of controlling a sword with his divine sense. Now it was time to prioritize that.
Being a spy in a cultivation sect is undoubtedly dangerous. Qin Sang didn't know the intentions of the Quiyin Sect, nor did he want to know. All he could do was wait for an opportunity to escape. If escape wasn't possible, he would have to do his best to increase his strength and face the potential dangers.
Thinking of this, Qin Sang lowered his head and searched, picking up a jade bottle from Yang Yuan Zang's pouch. The thumb-sized jade bottle contained a few drops of milky liquid, viscous as ointment. When the lid was opened, a burst of fragrance wafted into his nose, and the pain on his body lessened by a few points.
This should be the hundred-year stone breast milk that Yang Yuandao and Shen Jing mentioned. It was probably found in the crocodile's nest.
Although all the treasures in the Forbidden Zone of Bagua have been ransacked by the Yuang Zhao sect, it is normal for some to be left behind. Moreover, the Yuang Zhao sect may not even consider this bit of hundred-year-old breast milk valuable.
Yang Yu Zang was already at the peak of the sixth layer, and refining the stone milk had a high chance of borrowing strength to break through to the seventh layer. Qin Sang's body still had the power of the Qi Gathering Pill suppressing it, and he was far from breaking through. The stone milk didn't hold much significance for him right now, so he put it away along with the medium-grade spirit stone.
Ten jade plaques were laid out in a row before him.
Yang Yu Zang four pieces, Shen Jing two pieces and Qin Sang four pieces.
Within the forbidden zone, there probably aren't many people who could have collected the jade tokens faster than him. Qin Sang thought to himself, this whole ordeal wasn't for nothing after all.
Ten jade plaques, when brought together, formed a shape resembling a jade book. The jade plaques, crystal clear and radiant, suddenly had a layer of mist appear on them. Beneath the mist, there seemed to be mountains, rivers, and lakes, but they were all obscured by the mist, not even a glimpse could be seen, except for one bright arrow. No matter how Qin Sang moved the jade plaques, the arrow always pointed in the same direction.
The more jade talismans you obtain, the thinner the mist on the jade scroll becomes, and the clearer the guidance. With only ten jade talismans, you can only see one arrow pointing in a direction. You have no way of knowing what kind of terrain lies ahead or if it is passable.
Qin Sang had known about this for a long time and was not surprised. After confirming his direction, he put the jade pendant and other useful items on the ground into his pouch. He sensed the injuries within his body and felt that they should be fine. Then, with his dragon-shaped sword on his back, he conjured up a gust of wind and flew out of the cave.
The feeling of Feng Xu's wind control was indeed exhilarating, but the target was just too obvious.
The direction the jade pendant pointed was deep within the vast plains. Fortunately, it didn't require us to return to that poisonous marsh.
Qin Sang turned in an instant, flying out of the mountain range and into the plain. Pressing down on the wind smoke, he raced through the grass.
The vast plain offered a wide view, and with the Wind-Rushing Saber's speed, and three top-grade artifacts at his disposal, Qin Sang wasn't too afraid of anyone daring to provoke him. Even if he couldn't win, he could escape.
I thought I could still harvest a few jade tokens in this vast plain, but he flew for a long time and didn't encounter a single opponent, which was very strange.
In less than two hours, Qin Sang crossed the vast plain, with countless ravines and cliffs appearing ahead.
