n't get along with each other. Even under the same Demon King, they often fight. A Shadow Leopard with such a serious injury wouldn't dare to contact its kin, otherwise it would be like walking into a...All five Yin elements are present, and the evil qi of the earth is sufficient. There is just one thing missing—the souls of demonic beasts.

A naturally occurring evil corpse, nurtured in Yin energy for many years. It evolves from a zombie into an evil corpse, taking a long time. During this process, it will give birth to its own spirit and even become more powerful afterward, it will awaken its divine consciousness, just like human cultivators.

But refining corpses is different. Those from Baiyun Mountain who have recently died, their souls haven't fully departed yet, so the five elements and earthly evil qi cannot imbue them with spirit.

If it were a corpse without a spirit, it would be no different from an inanimate object.

When truly fighting, Qin Sang might not be able to constantly focus on manipulating the Corpse Demon. Most of the time, he would still let it act according to instinct. So, when refining it, he needed to imbue it with spirituality.

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

The Corpse Refining Sect has a method of Soul Refining and Spirit Attachment. During the refining process, incantations are used to draw in living souls, which are then refined together into the corpse body. After such refinement, the corpse can be imbued with spirituality.

Of course, the creation of zombies doesn't require this step.

A soul can be best derived from a human cultivator's spirit, of course, the souls of demonic beasts are also acceptable. There aren't strict requirements for the strength of the demonic beast. When Qin Sang went to Mingqin Island, he collected some along the way, but it wasn't enough.

Leaving the sunken abyss, and venturing deep into the vast expanse of Yuncang Marsh, Qin Sang spent several days collecting enough demon beast souls. Just as he was about to return to his cave abode to meditate and refine his corpse for a period of time, he came across an audio transmission talisman at the Dragon View Temple, one left by Granny Jing herself.

'Friend Qin, I have news about what you need. Come quickly!'

Seeing the message on the sound transmission note, Qin Sang's face lit up with joy. He hadn't held out much hope, after all, the circle of the secret shop was too small, with only a handful of people, and most of them were Qi Refining cultivators. The possibility of good news coming from Tianhenlou and Senior Wen was greater. Unexpectedly, it was Granny Jing who gave him a big surprise first.

News of the spiritual spring spread, and everything had to give way. After much deliberation, Qin Sang took out several magical artifacts from his cave dwelling and carried them with him.

Old Madam Jing's message on the note was vague, offering no clue as to whether the Spring Spirit Object was hidden within a secret ancient site or being held by someone who intended to sell it.

If it was hidden in a secret realm, maybe someone wanted to sell the news, and the price wouldn't be too high. Qin Sang planned to buy it and refine the corpse fiend back home first. An extra helper would be useful, and then, depending on the situation in the secret realm, he would explore further.

If someone were to directly sell something, it would be hard to say. While they could still live a comfortable life, it might not satisfy the other party's demands. After all, spiritual spring treasures are too rare. Such transactions are extremely uncommon in the cultivation world, and there is no established price. It all depends on how the two parties negotiate. But no matter how high the other party offers, he would have to accept it.

If you really can't, just leave and go somewhere else, avoid the eyes and ears of Shao Hua Shan, and dispose of these artifacts.

Having made up her mind, Qin Sang flew with all her might, sword in hand. As she entered Taohu Zhuan, she saw Jing Lao sitting at the door of the shop, a cluster of peach branches scattered at her feet. She held a piece of peach wood in her hand and was carefully carving it with a small knife, her expression unusually focused.

She didn't use any spiritual power, nor did she rely much on her physical strength. She solely relied on her techniques, and the things she carved out were as exquisite as works of art.

These peach branches are also ordinary trees. They look a bit like the red jade peaches of Jianmen Pass, but if you look closely, there are some noticeable differences.

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

Qin Sang stood aside, waiting for Granny Jing to finish her carving. He bowed slightly and explained, "Greetings, Granny Jing. Please forgive my tardiness. I've been traveling outside recently and only just returned to Huilong Guan when I saw the message. I rushed over as soon as possible."

"Hmm."

Elder Jing placed the finished product on the counter, raised her head slowly and spoke, "Luckily Daoist Qin arrived in time, otherwise they would have gone back tonight. Please wait a moment, Daoist Qin, I'll have the sisters come back."

Sister

Two women

Qin Sang muttered under her breath, gave an apology to Old Lady Jing, and walked toward the back hall of Taohuzhuxuan.

In Taohuzhuxuan, they only sell handmade crafts made from peach branches or bamboo. Although Qin Sang had come three times, this was her first time seeing Granny Jing working with her own hands and realizing that she crafted them all herself.

These finished products are extraordinarily delicate, but the prices are exorbitant. Ordinary people find it difficult to afford such high prices for a piece of decor. Moreover, the location is remote, resulting in extremely poor business.

Qin Sang swept his gaze across the display. After so many days, only two items had been sold. Of course, Granny Jing certainly wouldn't mind these things.

The back hall of Taohuzhen was the secret shop, actually a large open hall with some bamboo chairs placed inside. It was rather simple. Qin Sang sat down casually and waited patiently. In less than a quarter of an hour, footsteps could be heard outside, and Jing PoPo led two young women into the hall.

The two women looked to be around thirty years old. They weren't particularly stunning, but they were definitely pretty. Their features were somewhat similar, clearly indicating that they were close blood relatives.

The woman in front, slightly tall, was at the eleventh level of the Qi Refining Stage. The one behind her was one realm lower than her.

Seeing the cultivation levels of the two, Qin Sang felt relieved. They were only Qi Refining cultivators, so their appetites wouldn't be too big.

It's clear that the two women are very respectful towards Grandma Jing. Grandma Jing walks in front, pointing at Qin Sang and saying: "This is the Qin Sang Daoist I told you about."

"And to Qin Sang he said, 'They are the sisters of the Yue family. The elder sister, Yue Xing, has higher cultivation, and the younger one is Yue Rou.'"

Qin Sang smiled and cupped his hands: "Qin Sang has met the two Daoist friends."

The two women looked at each other and replied, "We dare not. Le Xing and Le Rou pay their respects to Senior Qin."

Jing PoPo lightly coughed, "Daoist Qin, the father of these two sisters was also a member of the secret shop. You don't need to be too formal. Just say what you need directly, no need to beat around the bush. I'll be here as a witness and won't interrupt. Whether it succeeds or not is up to you two to decide."

As she spoke, Granny Jing glanced at Qin Sang.

Qin Sang was secretly startled, knowing that Old Lady Jing was warning him silently. Infighting among the members of the secret shop was something Old Lady Jing abhorred most deeply.

Three people sat opposite each other. Elder Jing was feigning sleep beside them. Qin Sang went straight to the point, "Fellow Daoists, I am currently searching for a relic of a dried-up spirit spring, preferably one that dried up on its own. Of course, if it's damaged by external force, it will also do. Elder Jing sent word that both of you might have news about such treasures"

Hearing Qin Sang say this, elder sister Le Xing readily said: "To be honest with Senior Qin, we not only have news of this item, but also happen to have one in our hands."

To our surprise, they already had it. So we didn't have to waste time and energy running around elsewhere.

Qin Sang was overjoyed, but he kept a poker face and asked, "Since the two Daoist friends had your grandmother inform me, there must be a deal to be made, right I just wonder what you would exchange for helping me."

Le Xing and Le Rou looked at each other, a hint of hesitation appearing on their faces. They bit their lips and said, "We want a cave with spirit eyes."is difficult to lure them into your trap.
