night, Qin Sang did have the opportunity to stop the two-headed hound. If he were willing to pay the price and use talismans and sword qi thunder sounds, the two-headed hound's speed would still be i...When the Necromancer's Sutra was finished, it was the carefully selected spells that the fat man had spoken of.

Quiet Mind Mantra, Qi Gazing Technique, Exorcism Technique, Dust-Dispelling Mantra, Sound Transmission into Secret, Breath Concealment Technique, Wind Travel Formula, Flight Technique...

The so-called art of gazing at qi is like opening the third eye between the brows. After activation, it can not only reveal the general cultivation level of a cultivator but also distinguish the grade of magic artifacts. It allows one to observe the spiritual energy of mountains, rivers, and lakes, penetrating illusions. In short, its uses are limitless.

A dozen or so of them are auxiliary spells similar to divinations.

Qin Sang scanned them with his eyes, finally settling on the last five incantations: Water-Condensing Barrier, Cloud Escape Technique, Shape-Shifting Illusion, Mist Shackling River, and Myriad Miles Frostfreeze.

The water-repelling barrier and the talisman he sold shared the same name. According to the book, after this spell is successfully refined, it can manipulate spiritual energy to condense a layer of water barrier around oneself, providing defensive effects.

When perfected, it solidifies into a shield of water that moves with the mind and becomes even more solid.

The Cloud Escape Technique is a type of Five Elements Escaping Technique.

Only the last three sounded intimidating, but in reality they were all about the same. Qin Sang suspected that the fat man had privately changed the names of the spells to make them sound more appealing and increase their price.

After the transformation and refinement of shape-shifting, one can use their spiritual energy to condense a clone, almost identical to the original body, appearing as alive, but lacking any abilities. It can only be used to deceive enemies.

A Mist Locking River generates a cloud of mist that envelops the enemy, obscuring their vision. When refined to a high degree, it can even block divine senses.

Myriad Miles Ice Seal is actually a spell that solidifies Xuanbing. If a cultivator's spiritual power is strong enough, they could truly freeze Myriad Miles. Mastering the timing, one could directly seal an enemy within Xuanbing, and then... escape.

Qin Sang tossed and turned, looking at the five talismans for a long while. Suddenly, he had an epiphany—all five talismans were related to escaping or protecting himself. No wonder he found it strange that there wasn't even one offensive talisman.

Only with the ten-thousand-mile ice seal, Qin Sang felt it was worth developing. There was no need to completely ban enemies; condensing them into ice spikes and ice blades could still kill.

Qin Sang was speechless. How cowardly was that fat man All the spells he collected were about escaping.

However, Qin Sang couldn't say that Fatty's choice was wrong. As the saying goes, "Overly rigid things are easily broken."

Cultivators are different from mortals. A mortal's prime lasts only a few decades. If they want to achieve something, they must be sharp and strive with all their might, lest they waste their youth. Once old age arrives, everything comes to an end.

Moreover, even ordinary people value a gentleman's revenge; it's never too late after ten years.

This sentence, when applied to cultivators, means "an honorable cultivator seeks revenge, not sooner than a hundred years."

Qin Sang heard that after the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment periods, there were also the Golden Core period, also known as the Nascent Soul Period. Above the Golden Core was the Nascent Soul Stage old monster.

Cultivation practitioners in the Qi Refining period can live for over a hundred years, those in the Foundation Establishment period can easily live for over two hundred years. As for the Golden Core cultivators and Nascent Soul ancestors, their lifespans are simply astounding.

In the past, there were legends of Peng Zu living for 800 years. In this world, it is indeed possible for cultivators in the Yuan Ying stage to achieve such a lifespan.

With such a long lifespan, if you encounter an unbeatable enemy, why bother fighting to the death It's better to escape first, then hide your name and diligently cultivate. When your realm surpasses that of your enemy, come back for revenge.

The fat vendor's philosophy of survival touched Qin Sang deeply. In the world of cultivators, as long as one is alive, anything is possible.

After a glance, Qin Sang fixed his gaze on the basic spells such as "Looking at Qi" in front of him. Cultivating spells was not a quick process. When first starting out, one would be clumsy and disoriented. Only through diligent practice and familiarity could they unleash their full power.

The difficulty of casting the basic incantation is not great, the mantra is very simple, only a few sentences. Qin Sang tried it several times and could barely cast it. The first technique he practiced was naturally object removal. After mastering it, he immediately took out the seven-colored pouch.

Whoosh!

The room was suddenly filled with clutter, Qin Sang blushed in shame. He wasn't skilled at casting spells, and he accidentally emptied everything from the multicolored pouch.

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

He had looked through the things in his pouch countless times, and immediately grasped the spirit stone. Feeling the abundant and pure spiritual energy within it, he couldn't bear to let go.

In the cultivation world, spirit stones are extremely important. They can be used as currency, directly absorbed to supplement one's cultivation, or used to form gathering spirit arrays to aid in training. In battle, they can also quickly replenish depleted spiritual energy. These are just low-grade spirit stones. Higher grade spirit stones have even greater effects.

Having carefully put away the spirit stones, Qin Sang scanned around. He thought that in the future, only gold and silver might be of some use, so he collected them as well.

As for the other miscellaneous items, Qin Sang also touched them one by one, making sure there was nothing peculiar about them. He kicked them aside until he finally found the three books he had been longing for.

As expected, the Xuan Yin Book and the Netherworld Scripture are also the most basic cultivation techniques, but they are Earthly Essence Techniques, which must be cultivated by those with an Earthly Essence Root.

Each person only needs to cultivate one basic skill, any more is useless, unless they haven't made progress for a long time, or there are no subsequent skills, then they will choose to change their skills.

The Xuan Yin Scroll also has spells built in, such as the Earth Escape Technique and the Xuan Tu Shield, etc. Qin Sang didn't know if he could cultivate them either, after all, the Netherworld Scripture and the Xuan Yin Scroll are different in their Five Elements.

After skimming through it roughly, Qin Sang put down the Xuan Yin Manual and picked up the Song Family Genealogy.

The family tree clearly stated the origins of the Song family's ancestor on its first page. After reading it, Qin Sang's face showed surprise and she quickly flipped backward. The Song family lineage was not prosperous. From the founding ancestor of the Song family, through ten generations of inheritance, only two direct descendants remained in the end.

One is named Song Hua, and the other is named Song Ying.

Among them, Song Hua is a male, and Song Ying is a girl. The one who died with the black-clothed demon at the bank of Shen Shui River should be Song Hua.

Out of all the members in the Song family genealogy, only a few have entries detailing their lives. Without exception, they were all cultivators, and they all died during the Qi Refining stage. Most disappeared or met with accidents. Very few reached the end of their lifespans and passed away peacefully.

The entire Song family genealogy is a microcosm of the cultivation world, which allowed Qin Sang to truly understand the cruelty of the cultivation world.

Qin Sang marveled at the fact that there were so many descendants with spiritual roots in a single family. At the same time, he carefully read through their life stories.

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

He was certain of one thing: whether the descendants of the Song family had invoked the sword intent decree from the tomb of their ancestor.

The Song family ancestor had a remarkable background. According to the family records, he had practiced in a sect called Shaohua Mountain. This sect was an exceptionally powerful righteous sect. The Song family ancestor was originally just an inconspicuous disciple of Shaohua Mountain. He cultivated to the thirteenth level of the Qi Refining Period, but due to insufficient talent, he failed to break through to the Foundation Establishment Period.

In the end, his spirit was broken and he left the sect. He lived a simple life raising children in a market town at the foot of the mountain. However, during his time on Mount Shaohua, he had once made a great contribution, so when he left the sect, Mount Shaohua gave him a sword intent decree, stating that if any descendant possessed exceptional talent, they could present the decree and enter Mount Shaohua directly to practice cultivation.

This sword intent decree is a reward given by Shaohua Mountain to its outstanding disciples, as can be seen from its preciousness.

After the ancestor of the Song family had many descendants, he took the sword intent and legal decree into his grave, warning future generations that they must wait for a descendant with outstanding aptitude and hope of breaking through the Qi Refining stage to appear before they could take out the legal decree, enter Shaohua Mountain, and revitalize the Song family.n, the better. Furthermore, his escape techniques and strength are extraordinary. Even if I were in your position today, I wouldn't be confident enough to defeat him. Inviting him to infiltrate the Ab...
