Qin Sang couldn't help but look at the starry sky. The sky was getting brighter and brighter. With the naked eye, he could only see a few stars, like eyes in the sky. He didn't know which one of them was looking at him.
Not long after, a ray of morning light shone on Qin Sang's face, and the stars disappeared in the sunlight.
'Huh huh...'
The morning breeze flutters the flags.
Qin Sang stood up slowly, removed the formation, and began to follow his duties and inspect the Yue Kingdom.
During the inspection, he had been absent-minded, thinking about what happened last night. Every time he thought of the Qingluan Dharma, the agility in its eyes would appear before Qin Sang's eyes, making him feel an inexplicable palpitation.
If everything goes well, and at this rate, if he continues to practice "Celestial Demon Refining", he will soon have powerful power, restore or even surpass his previous strength, and resolve the current predicament.
But, what's the cost?
It was obviously a technique that he was extremely familiar with, but Qin Sang was wary of it, and couldn't help but recall the process of becoming acquainted with Qingluan.
That stone slab, and the remnant soul of Qingluan that dissipated after hitting the Jade Buddha...
It can't be that Qingluan will be reborn through this, right?
I am clearly in an illusion!
With his thoughts racing, Qin Sang was puzzled and unknowingly inspected most of Yue Kingdom. Everything was normal and there was no sign of evildoers causing trouble.
The sky is getting dark.
Qin Sang originally planned to take this opportunity to stay outside for a longer time, find a cave, and concentrate on practicing "Celestial Demon Refining", but now he is hesitant.
'Huhu...'
An unusual sound of wind reached his ears. Qin Sang looked out and saw a shadow appearing on the horizon, and a goshawk flying towards him.
Sensing the aura in Goshawk's body, Qin Sang's heart moved and he raised his arms.
‘Crack!’
The goshawk landed firmly on his arm, its eyes flashed with a strange blue light, and its pupils reflected a figure as small as a mosquito and ant. It was the captain of their team, with the Buddhist name Deng Tui.
"Fellow Daoist Deng, what happened?" Qin Sang asked.
Before they parted, they agreed that team members would contact each other every three days to report on their respective situations, and this was only the first day.
"Fellow Taoist Qingfeng," the little man in Goshawk's pupils said, and it was indeed Deng Shi's voice, "Do you still remember what you said a few days ago, that you want to find a place full of fire and thunder?"
"Yes, is there any news about Fellow Daoist Deng?" Qin Sang looked expectant.
"The day before yesterday, I heard fellow Taoist Qingfeng mention it, so Deng sent a letter to consult several fellow Taoists he knew well. There really was a fellow Taoist who knew of such a place. That fellow Taoist called it the Abyss of Fire and Thunder. It is said that it is
Many years ago, the fellow Taoist's teacher discovered what he had discovered and had sealed it with formations. He originally wanted to keep it for other uses, but that fellow Taoist's sect gradually declined and he did not practice such techniques, so he never made use of it.
The opportunity has been idle until now," Deng Tie said.
Qin Sang asked repeatedly: "It was actually passed down by the teacher. I wonder if that fellow Taoist is willing to give up his love? Although my savings are limited, I will try my best to make up for the loss of that fellow Taoist. In addition, I would like to thank fellow Taoist Deng for taking the trouble, and I would like to express my deepest gratitude.
!”
The Abyss of Fire and Thunder was naturally given to senior brother Qing Yanxun. Qin Sang remembered many Taoist thunder techniques, including many of them, but he had to find a suitable reason to send them out.
This move will not only unite the sect more, Qing Yan and others are Qin Sang's "relatives" in the illusion, and they are trustworthy allies. Their cultivation is high enough, and they may be able to help him in the future.
"Since that Taoist friend took the initiative to reveal this matter, he must be willing to make an exchange. This is his condition..."
Deng Tuo lowered his voice and said the names of several treasures, "As for Deng, it's just a matter of effort. Fellow Daoist Qingfeng, there is no need to be polite."
Qin Sang pretended to be silent, "This condition is not harsh, I agree. I can't take it out for the time being, but I have a treasure of equal value in my hand... If that fellow Taoist is unwilling, I will collect it when he returns to Immortal City."
Collect all the treasures and then come to trade."
As he spoke, Qin Sang took out several spiritual objects from the mustard seed artifact.
Seeing these spiritual creatures, Goshawk blinked, and Deng Tuo said: "Fellow Taoist, please wait a moment..."
The figure in Goshawk's pupils disappeared, and Qin Sang stood there, patiently waiting for the other party's response.
One person and one eagle stare at each other with big eyes and small eyes.
An hour later, the figure reappeared, "The fellow Taoist agreed. Fellow Taoist can hand the things to this eagle. I will tell the fellow Taoist the location and the method to open the spiritual formation."
The other party was so cheerful and seemed a little impatient, and his bid seemed to be too high.
However, Qin Sang didn't care about this gain or loss, and threw the spiritual object to the goshawk, and immediately learned the location from Deng Tuo's mouth.
"This place is far away from the State of Yue. If my fellow Taoist goes there now, I will ask Brother Hui to take care of the State of Yue for the time being. Fellow Daoist, go and come back quickly!" Deng Tui also took advantage of Qin Sang and became closer to him.
"Thank you so much, Fellow Daoist Deng!"
Qin Sang bowed and said goodbye to the goshawk immediately and flew away.
He traveled all day and night, and did not practice "Celestial Demon Refining" for the next few days.
Every night, Qin Sang would visualize Qingluan and observe the changes, but found no other abnormalities.
…
"arrive!"
Qin Sang descended from the sky and his eyes fell on a mountain peak in front of him.
The surrounding area is not as desolate as the desert, but it is also very barren. This place is not in the core area near the Yongtu Fairy City. However, as more and more mortals and practitioners move to the Yongtu Fairy City, the habitat continues to expand outwards.
This place has long been included in the territory of a mortal country.
Qin Sang inquired all the way and learned that there is a sect of immortal cultivators in this mortal country. However, there is nothing abnormal in this mountain. It seems that that sect has not discovered the formation here.
There were clouds under his feet, and he moved forward slowly. When he approached the mountain peak, he felt a scorching heat. It was obvious that the underground flame veins here were not restless.
With a quick glance, Qin Sang focused on the cliff near the top of the mountain, flew to the cliff, made several seals one after another, and then suddenly passed through the cliff and disappeared out of thin air.
‘Rumble…’
'Whoa!'
The sound of thunder and the rolling lava was deafening.
Qin Sang found himself entering a valley that almost ran through the mountain, as if someone had cut the mountain in half.
The valley was filled with dazzling firelight, streaks of crimson lightning burst out continuously, exuding a violent aura.
"It's indeed Fire Thunder!"
Qin Sang nodded secretly, the other party did not lie to him.
Next, Qin Sang explored the Fire and Thunder Abyss for a while, carefully made some arrangements, left behind a technique, and then left quietly.
Returning to Yue State via the original route, Qin Sang inspected for a week and returned to the place where he last practiced "Celestial Demon Refining".
After careful consideration, Qin Sang decided to continue practicing. At least, practice to the third level of "Celestial Demon Refining"!
The third level is equivalent to the golden elixir stage. He is now in this state. Even if something unexpected happens, he has the ability to control the situation.
The sun sets in the west and the moon rises.
The galaxy is bright, and the starlight spreads to the earth. They are attracted by the light fight and gather around Qin Sang.
Qin Sang entered meditation and refined the star essence. As expected, the almost crazy improvement began again.
Along with this crazy improvement, there was also unbearable pain during the body tempering process, but this was nothing to Qin Sang. He remained calm and concentrated on experiencing the changes in his body.
Another night passed.
Qin Sang woke up and found that he had entered the middle stage of the second level.
"It's really crazy."
Qin Sang secretly thought, checking Qingluan's eyes during his visualization, his eyes seemed to be more alert, but it could also be due to his psychological factors, the change was not as obvious as it was at first.
The second day, the third day...
Qin Sang practiced hard and practiced "Celestial Demon Refining" every night. On the fifth night, he reached the peak of the second level and was about to break through the third level.
'Quack...'

There was a lot of noise in the jungle, and strange noises were heard from time to time.
The visions during the practice were obscured by the spiritual formation, but because of the gathering of starlight, the surrounding creatures instinctively liked this place, and more and more creatures were attracted to it, unable to wander around.
In the spiritual formation, Qin Sang was bathing in the starlight with his eyes closed tightly.
The power of the star element was wandering in the body, cleansing the tendons and cutting the marrow. Qin Sang felt that the bottleneck was becoming clearer, and was about to rush over with all his strength and enter the third level.
At this moment, the starlight around Qin Sang seemed to be shaking.
Just like a calm lake, when a stone is suddenly thrown into the lake, ripples appear in the water.
Qin Sang, who was in the 'lake', sensed it immediately, and was suddenly startled. He immediately woke up from his trance, opened his eyes, and looked at the stars in the sky, filled with surprise and uncertainty.
Just now, he heard a vague call.
This call was so weak that it seemed to come from an extremely far away place and was almost inaudible. One could not help but wonder if it was an illusion.
Qin Sang knew that he was awake. This was by no means an illusion. He did hear a strange voice, and the other person seemed to say - come on!
"...come on...come on...come on...come on..."
Two simple syllables, but intermittent, and seem to have an echo. Even though Qin Sang has left the state of trance, it still echoes in his heart, like the ravings of a devil, making people feel nervous.
The other party seemed to be calling Qin Sang, urging Qin Sang to go somewhere and get close to the other party.
Qin Sang felt inexplicably that it was like a terrifying abyss, cold, lonely, and creepy!
The night sky is still the same, with the bright moon like a silver plate and the sea of stars like a long river. In Qin Sang's eyes, it has turned into a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, and the stars have turned into strange eyes, containing unknown terror.
Who is calling me?
I was clearly in an illusion, why did I encounter such a strange thing?
Qin Sang broke into cold sweat. His heart moved and he thought about Qingluan, but he couldn't see any new changes.
"Who is the other party?"
Qin Sang stared at the night sky closely, her expression changing.
Not knowing whether the other party was good or bad, he did not dare to continue practicing this technique and put away all the spiritual formations that gathered the power of the stars.
Qin Sang was worried that if he continued to practice, a beam of starlight would fall from the sky and replace him.
Although he is not afraid of seizing the body, there are demon stars in this era, and the demon stars are all powerful demon clans above the integration stage!
Qin Sang couldn't figure out what was going on, but if he gave up "Celestial Demon Refining", it would be equivalent to cutting off a shortcut for himself.
The power in the illusion...
Qin Sang thought thoughtfully. If the other party is a powerful person, does he know the truth about this world? Is there anything he can use?
The reason why he thought this was because Qin Sang could hear a hint of weakness in the voice. Of course, it could also be that the other party was pretending.
In any case, Qin Sang doesn't dare to continue practicing now.
"At least, wait until I break through the Nascent Soul stage and have a certain ability to protect myself before I try to see if that mysterious existence can communicate..."
Qin Sang thought in his mind, took away the formation flag on the ground and erased the traces.
In the following time, he would always think of this matter and rehearse "The Transformation of the Heavenly Demon" dozens of times without any clue.
When the time limit for garrisoning came, Qin Sang, Deng Cui and others met up and returned to the Yongtu Fairy City.
It happened that the master and senior brother also came back. Qin Sang pretended to be happy and reported the good news to the master.
"Oh? You found a Fire and Thunder Abyss?"
Master Tongshen was surprised, and senior brother Qingyan couldn't help but stand up.
Qin Sang nodded, "I also casually mentioned it to Brother Deng and the others. I didn't expect that a fellow Taoist actually knew about this kind of place. My disciple went there to see it, but the flames there were fierce and the red thunder was raging. He didn't dare to go deep. I don't know.
Is it helpful to Senior Brother?"
"Thank you, little junior brother!"
Qing Yan was overjoyed, rubbed Qin Sang's shoulders vigorously, and looked at Master Tongshen, "Master?"
Master Tongshen smiled and said, "I haven't found a suitable technique for you yet, which seems like I don't care enough about you! Anyway, if you have nothing to do, go and take a look."
After that, he called Qinghong and Shuangluo, and the five masters and disciples went out together.
After leaving the city, everyone went north and, under the guidance of Qin Sang, arrived near the Fire and Thunder Abyss.
"Right there," Qin Sang pointed forward.
Master Tongshen exclaimed, "What an exquisite formation that makes full use of the surrounding terrain. If I didn't know the inside story, I would have ignored it..."
While talking, everyone came to the cliff, opened the spiritual array, and entered the abyss of fire and thunder.
Seeing the overwhelming red thunder, Master Tongshen nodded repeatedly, "That's right! That's right! When my master finds a technique for you and makes some arrangements, Qingyan, if you practice here, you will definitely make great progress in your cultivation...
…”
They kept descending, and gradually, the disciples felt a little overwhelmed, but Master Tongshen was very interested and asked them to stay here and dive alone.
Qin Sang and others waited in place for a while. Master Tongshen flew up to him with a smile on his face and threw something to Qing Yan, "Disciple, look what is this?"
Qingyan caught it with both hands and saw that it was a jade slip. As soon as his spiritual consciousness touched it, he saw the six characters "Earth, Fire and Sky Strike Yuan Shu", and then a mysterious chapter poured into his heart. With just one glance, Qingyan was astonished.
Crazy like drunk.
Qing Yan shook his hands, with a look of surprise on his face, "This is..."
"Yes, it is a method of fire and thunder! It was discovered by my teacher in a cave below. It should be the cave of a certain senior in ancient times. That senior once practiced here, but left for unknown reasons.
But I have kept the skills, and there are also several corresponding Tao techniques, but I didn’t expect that it would take no effort at all to obtain them.”
Master Tongshen looked at Qin Sang, "Qingfeng, did the little fellow Taoist you traded with ever mention this?"
Qin Sang shook his head, "No! That Taoist friend only said that it was passed down by the elders of his sect, but his sect has long since declined."
