Chapter 1,197: Investigation

en hearing, even amidst the chaos of battle, picked it up distinctly."This is..."Qin Sang's heart moved, and she suddenly remembered, it was the sound of the strings!Qin Sang swiftly scanned his surro...To use the teleportation array, you need to pay a certain amount of spirit stones and show your identity card.

However, Qin Sang was not afraid of the forbidden fragments in Tianhen.

On his shoulder, the Heavenly Eye Butterfly fluttered its wings, observing its surroundings, searching for cracks in the restrictions.

Qin Sang's figure flashed, and he quietly entered the thick fog.

After entering the Abyss of Crime, Qin Sang kept the Heavenly Eye Butterfly outside to act as a lookout.

Navigating the gaps between forbidden fragments was child's play for the Sky-Eyed Butterfly. Qin Sang didn't even touch a single barrier as he effortlessly crossed Tianhen and arrived on the other side.

He unfolded the feng shui chart, identified the direction, and dashed towards Jinshen Mountain.

> A day later.

Qin Sang stood among the trees, looking up at the majestic mountains in the sea of clouds.

That is Mount Jinheng!

Qin Sang circled around Jinchenshan, observing it generally. He found two markets nearby, but the layout of Cuizhen was quite peculiar, not shying away from mortals at all. The markets were built right next to mortal kingdoms.

Now entering and leaving the market is very strict. As an outsider, Qin Sang wants to sneak in unnoticed, which won't be easy.

> It seems I have to resort to old tricks.

Qin Sang retracted his gaze, pondered for a moment, and his figure vanished into thin air.

Barren mountains and primeval forests.

A gentle breeze swept through the forest, carrying with it a young man in white. Though his cultivation was only at the Qi Refining stage, his bearing was noble and elegant as he drifted through the undergrowth.

He appeared nonchalant, but a heavy anxiety was etched on his face. He kept glancing over his shoulder.

'Whoosh!'

After flying out of this thicket, there was nothing unusual behind me.

The young man in white relaxed his expression, and suddenly a voice rang in his ear.

"Kid, you're pretty good with the Wind Style. Keep running, I wanna see how far you can go!"

The sound darted back and forth, carrying a playful smirk, like a cat toying with a mouse.

The young man in white was greatly alarmed. He hurriedly urged the willow leaf sword in his hand, slashing swiftly to the left. At the same time, he struck out a talisman hidden in his palm.

'Bang!'

Suddenly, a thick yellow light burst forth from the ground, instantly condensing into a layer of ochre-colored light shield.

The Ling Jian sword slashed across it, only carving a fissure in the light shield.

But then the talisman swiftly followed, transforming into a streak of blue light. The intense water-elemental energy exploded, instantly condensing dozens of crystal-clear ice cones which struck the barrier one by one.

"Boom!"

The light shield finally couldn't hold on and collapsed with a crash.

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

Seeing this sight, the young man in white was about to show joy on his face when he saw nothing inside the light shield.

That bone-chilling cackle rang out once more, "Still a fledgling, huh A simple charm and your Qian Zhu Fu is revealed! What other tricks do you have If not, old man will have to make his move!"

Before his words could even fall, the young man in white suddenly felt a chill wind attack from behind.

In a rush, he swung his sword backward, but struck empty air once again.

With a single clang, an iron ring clamped tightly onto the spirit sword. The young man in white changed color abruptly, hastily reaching into his pouch for another artifact. Suddenly, a chill ran down his spine, and he lowered his head to see a bloody sword tip protruding from his back.

The sparkle in her eyes gradually faded.

When the young man in white died, a figure in black robes and a hooded cloak appeared behind him.

This man tossed the boy's corpse aside and skillfully reached for the boy's pouch. After a moment, he let out a hum, "Another pauper! Ever since those prestigious sects retreated to seclusion, drawing their foundation-building masters to the front lines, I haven't had to be as careful as before. It's been ages since I made a big deal."

As he spoke, he was about to deal with the boy's body and clean up the battlefield. Suddenly, a figure appeared behind him at some point, and he felt a chill down his spine.

"Who is it!"

'Crack!'

Qin Sang grabbed the flying sword with one hand, smiling at the man in black, "I'll borrow your body for a while."

The hooded man's face was full of fear, he turned and fled, the next moment he lost consciousness.

This tag is used to indicate the end of a paragraph.

Qin Sang waved his hand, taking the unconscious black-robed man away. He decided to use the *Species Origin Demon Embryo* scripture to refine an avatar, borrowing his identity to gather information.

Since he could no longer use the Sword Soul to refine demons, Qin Sang could only use the original demon technique to plant the demons on living people.

Near He Mountain is closed, and for a while, disciples of Near He Mountain can't be found.

>

Qin Sang could only start with the casual cultivators. He knew that there were bound to be some demons who loved unjust wealth around the market, and sure enough, he found one.

As for the young man, although being invaded by demonic energy is not the fault of a small Qi Refinement cultivator, he is still an enemy to Qin Sang. If the young man could free himself from the clutches of the demonic cultivator, Qin Sang would not hold it against him. Since he cannot escape, he can only blame his own inadequacy.

Qin Sang grabbed this person and in the desolate mountains, casually opened up a cave dwelling, throwing him aside, then released the fat chicken.

“Go a little farther from Qilü Jinshan, find the body of a Foundation Establishment cultivator with a fresh face, and take the opportunity to inquire about whether there is any Earthly Fiend Qi around... Remember to keep a low profile and not attract the attention of nearby forces. If you get caught by a Nascent Soul, I can't save you either.”

Qin Sang instructed.

If he couldn't find the information about the corpse demon fairy through normal means, he could only refine a murderous corpse and have his outer incarnation carry it around to attract attention.

A ghoul forged from the unique cursed energy of a place, might just attract those with ill intentions.

The fat hen took orders and left.

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

Qin Sang was busy in the cave.

His cultivation was now far superior to what it was before. He wielded the Ziyuan Demon Embryo technique with much greater ease than he did during his Golden Core stage, and besides being a mere tool, there was no need to cultivate him to the Golden Core or even Nascent Soul stages, so there was no need for excessive care.

However, Qin Sang's perspective has changed now. He can be sure that this demonic avatar technique is not a top-tier secret art. It has flaws. If he wants to cultivate an external avatar to the Nascent Soul stage through normal means, it would be impossible and a waste of effort.

Unless one finds an outer path Nascent Soul technique like that of Senior Qingzhu.

Qin Sang only took a few days to refine a barely usable magic seed, implanting it into this cultivator's body. He successfully refined an outer avatar.

An avatar, a short and somewhat timid middle-aged cultivator, stood up tremblingly. He looked at Qin Sang blankly, his eyes gradually regaining clarity. He nodded to Qin Sang and sat down cross-legged.

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

Qin Sang spared no effort, even overdrawing his potential to forcibly enhance his cultivation using the blood-feeding technique incessantly.

During this time, Fat Chicken also returned, bringing back a corpse and finding the Qi of Earthly Disaster.

"Master, one thousand li south of Jinshan Mountain, there is a geomantic disaster in the sky. The scope is even larger than the land sinking cave you mentioned. Every cultivator who builds a foundation knows this. As soon as I asked this fellow, he told me."

The fat chicken pointed at the corpse, “However, he didn’t know who the Corpse Ghost Immortal was. My master had strict orders, and I dare not arrest too many people.”

Could this be the reason why the Corpse Ghost Immortal came near Mount Jin'hen Did he only obtain the Secret Art of Refining Corpses after reaching the Golden Core stage

>

Qin Sang seemed thoughtful.

This is a bit tricky. It's going to be difficult to find out where the Corpse Ghost Immortal came from and how they obtained the Heavenly Corpse Sect's teachings.

Liupan Chicken and his avatar remained in the cave, while Qin Sang took the corpse to where Fat Chicken had indicated.
