minds.He had a jade Buddha protecting him, so he was not afraid of the influence of blood and miasma. But looking at others, they were all cautious and vigilant, as if facing a great enemy.Everyone f...These grottoes and stone pillars were equally rough, merely concealed by stone doors. All the grottoes had their doors tightly shut, with flickering lights of prohibition swirling above them.

Shi Ying had no friends, and she didn't seek out other disciples to chat with. She flew straight into her own cave abode.

This place doesn't resemble a lady's residence at all. The furnishings are simple, the layout monotonous, much like Qin Sang's cave dwelling.

He sealed the cave, stone winding down to lay the black coffin in the corner of the cave. He opened the coffin and glanced at the corpse he had painstakingly refined. Only then did a satisfied smile spread across his face. He sat on the stone bed in a duck-sitting posture and opened his pouch.

In her view, no treasure could compare to this refined corpse. So Shi Ying only refined those few high-quality artifacts.

As for those other items that are of slightly inferior quality, or whose nature I couldn't quite discern at the moment, I've set them aside for now. I haven't the mental bandwidth to delve into them further just yet.

Then, Shi Ying sat cross-legged before the black coffin, her divine consciousness connecting with the soul mark, eagerly familiarizing herself with corpse refinement.

Although it wasn't crafted by her own hand, Shi Ying found no difficulty controlling the corpse. She could manipulate it with ease and proficiency.

Gently opening her eyes, Shi Yin turned her gaze to the abdomen of the corpse refiner.

She couldn't believe it at first. She looked over and over again, only to confirm that there was indeed a golden elixir in the abdomen of the corpse. She wondered how much effort that corpse-refining demon cultivator had put into collecting this necessary item for refining the corpse, just short of gathering the Heaven-Rending Celestial Qi.

"Gangsha Chongdan..."

Shí Yíng spoke to herself, her voice laced with some uncertainty.

She was previously afraid that her cultivation level was too low and would affect the success rate of refining corpses. However, when she familiarized herself with corpse refinement just now, Shi Ying discovered that she could freely manipulate the power of the refined corpses, operating them smoothly without any stagnation.

It's just that the burden on myself is a little heavier, but as long as I'm prepared with elixirs and spirit stones to recover my energy, I'll definitely be able to hold on.

This result gave Shiying a lot of confidence, she decided to try it first.

Unbeknownst to him, this was Qin Sang's own willingness to cooperate with Shi Ying.

Shi Ying was dazed and clueless. Her refined corpse possessed sentience, cleverly concealed without a trace.

Possessed corpses are able to withstand the control of a divine soul imprint, allowing the manipulator to instill it within them. Even Shiying, and even those proficient in the art of corpse cultivation, would find this unheard of.

Qin Sang was unprecedented.

Of course, Shi Ying sat motionless all night, familiarizing herself with the power of refining corpses. By the next morning, her worries had dissipated, so she sealed the cave and flew towards Shen Gang Peak.

Her cave dwelling wasn't far from Shen Gang Peak, and she quickly entered the green mist.

The cave dwelling fell into darkness.

The lid of the black coffin suddenly slid open silently, and the corpse inside slowly sat up, looking extremely eerie.

His obsidian eyes rolled, gradually regaining their intelligence and brilliance. Qin Sang severed Shi Ying's soul imprint, twisting his neck to look around the cave dwelling.

He successfully infiltrated, but didn't follow the original plan to control Shiling immediately. Her actions gave him a new idea, so he decided to improvise and wait a little longer.

As for why Shí Yíng was so eager, Qín Sāng's mind turned quickly and he guessed the reason.

Wen Yansheng is now in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and it is only a matter of time before he reaches the False Core Realm. If Shi Ying does not seize the time and continues to delay, once Wen Yansheng breaks through the False Core Realm, even if she completes refining her corpse puppet, it will be very difficult to kill a true cultivator in the False Core Realm.

Revenge is still a long way off.

...herself modifying the secret technique, forcing Shi Ying to act without delay. This was something Qin Sang had not anticipated before.

This is a good thing.

Cultivators of the Azure Yang Demonic Fire can bring a sliver of Heavenly Celestial Qi out of Shen Gang Peak for their own cultivation. Since Shi Ying is willing to help, we might as well accept her offer first.

Infiltrating the Divine Gang Peak was a very risky move, and Qin Sang wasn't sure if Wu Shang's secret technique would work. After all, the so-called "Gang Qi Rush" was just Wu Shang's guess.

There was no experience for Qin Sang to learn from.

Shiying brought the dry celestial qi out of Shen Gangfeng and hid in her cave, experimenting little by little. If this secret technique was truly ineffective, she could still leave Qianyáng Demon Sect calmly.

Trespassing onto the Divine Gang Peak is very risky. If the secret technique fails and you accidentally expose your whereabouts, it would be a loss outweighing any potential gain.

The corpse energy within my body is still controllable for now, no need to rush.

Qin Sang's feet didn't touch the ground as he drifted horizontally toward the cave dwelling entrance. As he passed by the stone bed, he glanced at the mustard seed bag on the bedside.

According to disciples of the Qingyang Demon Sect, the spiritual energy on Shen Gang Peak was very chaotic, and the closer they got to the summit, the more so. Even at lower levels, low-ranking disciples struggled to protect themselves and dared not stay on Shen Gang Peak for long. They would only absorb a trace of Qingyang Divine Gang and then quickly return to their cave dwellings to refine their demonic fire.

On Shen Gang Peak, once an accident occurs, one can only do their best to protect themselves and wait for rescue. The items carried on the body, such as a mustard seed bag, are very likely to be destroyed due to being unable to take care of them.

The pouch is a cultivator's lifeline, and no one dares to take risks with it. Therefore, before entering the mountain, disciples of lower realms will leave their pouches in their caves.

Outside their cave dwellings, there were unique restrictions left by the sect, so they didn't have to worry about being stolen.

Qin Sang's gaze swept across the pouch, where the Qingfu coins and Xutian Lei were hidden. Among them were several similar artifacts specially refined by Qin Sang. Mixed together, Shi Ying did not notice anything unusual about them.

Qin Sang didn't rush to take the two artifacts. He floated in front of the cave dwelling, pressed his palm against it, and felt the restrictions on it.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Phew!

Suddenly, points of blue light appeared on the door, then quickly converged toward the center of the stone gate.

A moment later, a blue flame appeared before Qin Sang. It looked tiny, yet it emanated an extremely violent aura.

This flame was the Qingyang Devil Fire left behind by Shi Ying, originating from the same source as Qin Sang's soul imprint deep within his primordial spirit, belonging exclusively to Shi Ying.

Qin Sang focused his attention and discovered that the restrictions imposed by the Qingyang Demon Sect had their own unique characteristics.

A disciple of the Qingyang Demon Sect, as long as they inject their cultivated Qingyang Demon Fire into the prohibition, even fellow disciples who cultivate the same Qingyang Demon Fire will be unable to forge a copy.

Once someone attempts to break the ban, a clash of demonic fire occurs, immediately triggering an alarm.

Although Qin Sang saw through this restriction, he did not dare to recklessly move the demonic fire.

After pondering for a moment, Qin Sang thought of a way to activate the Shi Ying's soul mark imprint to touch the restriction.

Being far apart, Shi Ying couldn't sense the movements of the soul mark at this time. Qing Yang Demon Fire indeed mistook Qin Sang for its master, showing no resistance whatsoever.

Qin Sang did not go out. He pushed the stone gate open a crack and gazed at Shen Gang Peak in the distance!

What a magnificent mountain that pierces the clouds!

Qin Sang was amazed. This peak's grandeur, among all the mountains he had seen, was second only to Zhentian Peak, even surpassing Shaohua Mountain.

As expected of Mount Zhetian, it's no wonder that it can draw down the Celestial Qi from the heavens and nurture celestial warriors!

From the foot of the mountain to the peak, Qin Sang carefully checked, confirming everything with the information he had received before.

Below the lingering azure mist, lay the domain of Qing Yang Gang Ying. As one neared the summit, the number of Qing Yang Gang Ying increased, and their Qi became more refined.
