Chapter 1466: Glass

land, listened to the instructions, and sat cross-legged on the reef, but instead of entering meditation directly, he lowered his head slightly, his eyes flickering, as if lost in thought.Just then, Q...Ting Xue Lou main peak.

Luli returned to her cave and practiced meditation.

Shi Xue summoned her disciples to handle the accumulated trivial matters over this period, leaving her utterly overwhelmed. Until late at night, Shi Xue let out a long sigh of relief, dismissing everyone around her, and stepped out of the main hall.

>

The night is deep.

The Master Xue viewed the scenery from a high place, admiring the night view of Tingxue Building.

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

Some mountains are covered in snow, while others are warm like spring with lush vegetation. They are all different because spirit formations can isolate them from the outside cold.

The scenery depends entirely on the mountain master's mood.

>

Palatial halls are scattered among the mountains.

>

A series of jade bridges span between the peaks, like flying rainbows.

>

On the main peak, no one is allowed to fly, including the presiding Master Xue.

She gazed for a long time, took a deep breath, and stepped down the jade steps.

Her and Liuli's cave abodes were both on the main peak, not far apart from each other.

Shi Xue first came to the Liuli Cave Mansion, hesitated for a moment, and did not disturb Liuli's quiet cultivation. She continued toward her own cave mansion. Passing by the entrance of a quiet grand hall, her expression moved slightly, her steps stopped, and she pushed the door open and walked in.

This hall is where the disciples of Tingxue Lou venerate their ancestral spirits. Two disciples are stationed here to watch over the eternal lamp. Upon seeing the master enter, they hurriedly stepped forward to pay their respects.

She asked her two disciples to step back, closed the temple door, picked up three incense sticks, bowed towards the tablet behind the offering table, and inserted the incense into the incense burner.

Smoke curls upwards.

Shi Xue's gaze pierced through the blue smoke, fixed on one of the spirit tablets.

The name engraved on this spirit tablet is Bing Yao, the master of both her and Liuli.

Shi Xue's expression now held a newfound fragility, unlike anything seen before. She lowered herself to sit, resembling a child confiding in their master, her voice soft and low as she spoke, "Master, I have made all preparations for my junior sister. All that remains is for her to adjust her state to its peak, and she will be able to break through. Not only will the Bing Po Divine Light reach its full potential, but her bottleneck will also be shattered in one fell swoop, allowing her to advance to the mid-Yuan Ying stage before the first heavenly tribulation arrives. At that time, my junior sister will be eligible to enter the cleansing pool. With her talent and this opportunity, she will surely become a great cultivator in the future, reviving Ting Xue Lou... But..."

Speaking of this, Shi Xue's eyes lost their joy and were suddenly clouded with worry.

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

“My junior sister has a stubborn disposition. Back then, in order to stabilize her heart and cultivate diligently, she was willing to seal her emotions with the Ice Soul Jade, cutting off all romantic attachments. However, fate is a fickle thing, and at this crucial juncture, that heartless man suddenly appeared. While my junior sister appears normal on the surface, sealing her emotions doesn’t mean she’s devoid of them. I worry that her resolve will be shaken by his presence, and…”

A sigh echoed through the great hall.

“If it were an ordinary person, I wouldn't say much. But this man is unparalleled in the world. A woman like my junior sister, could she truly let go of someone like him I can't help my junior sister, all I can do is offer some useless advice. That unfaithful scoundrel won't allow himself to be controlled by others.”

Shi Xue's eyes showed confusion, "Master, if you are in heaven, can you tell your disciple what your junior sister's knot is What should your disciple do"

Deep in the night, silence reigned.

In the depths of winter, there is not a sound from birds or beasts.

Shi Xue sat cross-legged on the cushion, silent for a long time.

The main hall was dim, with only the flickering of dim yellow candles. The candlelight shone on that slender figure.

The following day evening.

Qin Sang was in meditation when he sensed a disturbance in the formation outside the small building. His divine sense swept out and he saw that it was Shi Xue.

"Greetings, Master."

Qin Sang walked out of the small building and bowed in greeting.

Shi Xuehui returned the gift and glanced at the small building, smiling and asking, "Master Daoist, are you satisfied with this place"

Qin Sang nodded, "The scenery is excellent, a rare and exquisite cave dwelling."

"Fellow cultivator, don't you think it's fine to treat him slowly"

Shi Xue stood before the small building, not entering. She said seriously, “There is one more matter that requires Dao Chang’s cooperation. Yesterday, I was tired from the journey, so I didn't mention it. According to Ting Xue Lou’s rules, when hiring guest elder advisors, one must worship their ancestors, witnessed by the ancestors. Although Dao Chang is only using the identity of a guest elder advisor, it would not be good to break the rules.”

"Is there such a thing I don't know what I need to do, just tell me what to do."

Since it has come to pass, then let it be so. Qin Sang will do everything in his power to cooperate with nature's course.

"No need for the Taoist priest to do too much, just light a stick of incense before the ancestral tablet."

Shi Xue led Qin Sang toward the main hall where ancestors were enshrined, explaining, “As long as this palace and the Jiang Hall Master acknowledge Dao Chang, there is no need to seek consent from others. The Jiang Hall Master will have a grand elder give an explanation. I heard that Dao Chang plans to go out for a while, so I wanted to complete the sacrificial rites before he leaves and hand him the Elder Order. If Dao Chang encounters any trouble outside, he can use this order to mobilize the power outside Xuan Tian Palace. When there is a suitable opportunity in the future, we will publicly reveal Dao Chang’s identity.”

The Pavilion Master Jiang is the Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivator from Tingxue Lou.

As they spoke, the two turned from the back mountain into the main peak. Perhaps Shi Xue had deliberately chosen this route, for they encountered no one along the way.

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

Qin Sang looked around.

The surrounding peaks near the main peak are the places where spiritual energy is most abundant.

>

Qin Sang noticed that many of the pavilions had flickering restrictions, clearly indicating they were inhabited. They must be the talented disciples of Ting Xue Lou.

At this time, Shi Xue, who was leading the way, slowed her pace and casually asked, "Daochang, do you have a Dao companion Even if it's not a fellow cultivator of the Yuan Ying stage, they can also enjoy the same benefits as a guest elder with you."

Qin Sang turned his head and glanced at Shi Xue, saying, "This poor Taoist is alone, without a Dao companion."

Shi Xue showed a surprised expression, "With Daochang's cultivation level, finding a Dao companion shouldn't be difficult, right"

“Isn't the master also alone”

Qin Sang countered, noticing something strange about Shi Xue's demeanor.

If it were said that Shi Xue was testing for Liuli, Qin Sang wouldn't believe it at all. Although he didn't have much contact with Liuli, he understood her temperament very well.

In both parties' view, it was just a transaction back then.

If we hadn't met by chance, there wouldn't have been any relationship between us.

"If I am still bottlenecked a hundred years from now, I will seek a partner and try double cultivation."

Shi Xuetan said calmly, without a trace of shame. Her expression was normal, and she even discussed with Qin Sang, "Dao Chang wouldn't have any prejudice against the way of double cultivation, would you"

“Yin and yang harmonizing, generating ceaselessly, truly belongs to the right path. How could a humble Taoist reject it However, male-female cultivation, life force originating from the same source, is the true Great Dao. But firstly, most cultivation methods of this path are skewed, bordering on heresy. Secondly, finding a compatible Dao partner is as difficult as ascending to heaven. The difficulty of the dual cultivation path is actually no less than any other Great Dao.”

Qin Sang had been cultivating for so long, even attempting the Corpse Pill, it was impossible he hadn't researched the way of dual cultivation.

In the eyes of many cultivators, dual cultivation is a shortcut, akin to replenishing one's essence. Many focus on seductive techniques, and even many self-proclaimed orthodox dual cultivation methods cannot escape this pattern.

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

Short-term gains lead to long-term losses.

Truly matching Taoist dual cultivation techniques are rare, and the requirements for practitioners' talent are equally high. This also magnifies to two people.

"The Daoist makes a valid point, and that's also the reason why this palace has been hesitant."

Shi Xue glanced at Qin Sang, thoughtfully, nodding in agreement.

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

As they spoke, the grand hall came into view.

The two pushed open the door and entered.

Luli was in the hall, kneeling on both knees with her hands clasped. When she saw them enter, she got up to greet them.

Qin Sang swept his gaze and noticed Bing Yao's spirit position.

He already knew that Bing Yao was Liuli's master.

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

This person was clearly trapped in the Purple Micro Palace, their life and death unknown. But Tingxue Lou had already set up a spirit tablet for her long ago. Shi Xue and Liuli were as close as sisters, and even she was kept in the dark.

This is a tricky one! It looks like you're asking me to translate the text between the html tags "

" and "

", but those tags themselves aren't part of what needs translating.Let me know if you have some actual text inside those tags that you'd like translated into English!

A while ago, Liuli secretly found Qin Sang and asked him not to reveal this matter.

This made Qin Sang even more curious about Liuli's intentions. He speculated that Bing Yao's disappearance might involve some hidden truth, or perhaps Bing Yao had a powerful enemy

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

Qin Sang only cared about the sacred land and didn't intend to investigate further, lest it cause unnecessary trouble.

Shi Xue lit three incense sticks.

Qin Sang bowed three times, offering incense and inserting the incense sticks into the incense burner. Considered to have been witnessed by the ancestors, he immediately took the elder's order from Shi Xue.

This order bears a unique mark. When touched, it can summon nearby Xuan Tian Gong disciples to serve him.

Qin Sang thanked them, retracted the token with his palm, exchanged a few words with the two women, and returned to the small building.

The Eastern Territories of the Hidden Sun Realm.

This place has a very rare great city in the mortal world.

Even in the cold season, the city is bustling with people and incredibly prosperous.

From time to time, a streak of light would flash across the sky above the city. The common folk had long since become accustomed to this sight; they would merely glance upwards, cast aside their envious gazes, and return to their busy lives.

In this city, mortals and cultivators live together.

In the center of the city lies an inner city. Not only are ordinary people forbidden from entering, but even wandering cultivators who affiliate with this city are not allowed to enter without permission.

Because this is the Luo family's territory.

As a cultivator family of Xuantian Palace, the Luo Family may not be as powerful as the Four Main Lineages, but they are quite famous in the Hidden Sun Realm. This is because Luo Family cultivators are adept at the path of dual cultivation, and the current head of the Luo Family is even a Yuanying cultivator.

>The ancestor Yuan Ying was high and mighty, with a dragon's appearance that could be seen but not followed.

At this time, the head of the Luo family, Luo Wan, was personally receiving a distinguished guest.

“I wondered why the magpies were chirping outside. It turns out it's because Master Zhang is here. I wonder what brings you to my humble abode”

Luo Wan was dressed in a brocade garment similar to a cheongsam, her posture graceful, and every gesture she made exuded a hint of allure.

Even if a woman sees her, if one's willpower is not enough, one will blush.

Sitting across from her was Shi Xue.

Shi Xue didn't know when she left Tingxue Lou and visited Luo Wan.

She and Luo Wan were clearly very familiar with each other, her eyes narrowed playfully as she retorted, "Where did that clueless magpie come from to dare approach your goblin's spider den Doesn't it know it might get its vital energy sucked away and swallowed whole"

"Knowing I'm a fairy, you still dare to come in"

Luo Wan remained unperturbed, her eyes alluring like silk, and her breath fragrant as orchids.

She leaned back slightly, instantly radiating charm.

Shi Xue's personality was lively and spirited, but compared to the woman before her, she paled in comparison. She coldly snorted, "Stop flirting with me. I have something serious to discuss with you, otherwise, even if you begged me, I wouldn't come to your spider den."

After a moment's pause, Shi Xue asked somewhat shyly, "Is your Luo family's 《Shen Nü Xīn Diān》 still around"

Luo Wan was startled, she straightened up and looked at Shi Xue from head to toe, smiling ambiguously: "Old hag, you finally have a soft spot! Could it be that the old bull is eating young grass, unaware of which young talent is so unlucky"

Stop talking nonsense!

Shi Xue's face was filled with impatience, "I am seeking this dual cultivation technique on behalf of others. I can swear to only pass it down to their couple, and never leak it. If you agree, next time the Holy Land opens, I will secure a spot in the Ice Wind Cave for the Luo family."

“It is true that disciples in the late stage of Jindan can enter the Bingfeng Cave!”

Luo Wan's charm was gone, as if she were a different person.

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

Her current bearing is like that of a Yuan Ying ancestor.

Shi Xue snorted, "Can't I even fool you I can swear an oath with my heart demon, but you mustn't leak this matter. The Luo family relies on the Tianshan lineage, but the source of the Tianshan lineage is the united effort of sects, factions, and scattered cultivators from the original Tian Shan region. Now it appears powerful, but internally there are many factions and contradictions. However, with things heating up, it's impossible for them to give a spot to your Luo family."

You don't need to explain these to me.

Luo Wan tapped the table with her finger. "The Luo family has had no one achieve the mastery of 《Shen Nü Xīn Diàn》 for two thousand years, it's like a useless thing. Exchanging it for an Ice Wind Cave quota isn't a bad deal. However, I need to remind you a few things so that there are no mistakes later, and you don't go back on your word."

"First, after the Luo family obtained the "Divine Feminine Heart Sutra", only two people have successfully cultivated it until now, which speaks volumes about its difficulty."

This cultivation technique not only has extremely high requirements for a cultivator's talent, but also requires the cultivator's emotions to undergo drastic fluctuations. Moreover, these fluctuations cannot be feigned; they must stem from genuine feelings. One must possess an extreme degree of sentimentality, and when their emotions reach a peak intensity, they can then begin practicing this method.

Secondly, if there is even the slightest mistake and you forcibly cultivate, the result will be a shattered Dao heart, harming your Taoist partner, making you a pair of doomed lovers.

Here is the translation:> Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

For countless years, countless Luo family geniuses were thus crippled, gradually shunned like tigers, confined to high towers.

"If you are helping your juniors to seek out the

Once the effect of Bing Po Fen Qing wears off, Liuli's emotions that have been suppressed for many years will erupt. This is no small matter; it is the best opportunity to embark on this path.

Then, Shi Xue will take out the "Divine Maiden's Heart Canon" and let the two of them decide whether to cultivate it themselves.

For this reason, Shi Xue deliberately tested Qin Sang's attitude, learning that Qin Sang did not yet have a partner and had no prejudice against the practice of dual cultivation. He just couldn't find a suitable technique and partner.

Amongst all the women in the world, few can compare to my junior sister in terms of appearance, talent, and natural gifts.

Countless people have fallen in love with Xuan Tian Gong.

Moreover, Qin Sang and his junior sister had a past entanglement, making this development quite natural.

Shi Xue couldn't think of a reason why Qin Sang would refuse.

Luo Wan just said so much because she was afraid that the cultivation method would cause problems and ruin the blood relatives of a certain Yuan Ying from Ting Xue Lou, incurring their wrath on the Luo family. Since Shi Xue was determined to go her own way, she was naturally delighted. She immediately took out a jade slip and handed it to Shi Xue.

"The requirements for entering this path are so extreme. This is a dual cultivation technique, not the kind of exploitative evil technique you practice, right"

Shi Xue casually asked a question.

“That’s natural,” Luo Wanmei laughed softly, her voice suddenly flirtatious, “This method is not only cultivated by male and female couples, but also by women. It just requires a woman to practice the yang extreme secret art together and accept yang energy. If you don’t believe me, let’s try it together first”

Shi Xue's face showed a look of disdain, she spat lightly, and got up to leave.

Luo Wan would not agree to let her go, she stopped her and made a written agreement before letting her off.

Shi Xue left the Luo family and hurried back.

Just as he returned to Tingxue Building, he saw a sound transmission note left by Liuli in her cave dwelling. He hurried to Liuli's cave dwelling again.

"Junior Sister, are you ready to break through the bottleneck now"

>

Shi Xue pushed open the door and entered, seeing Liuli sitting cross-legged with Yinli pearls, Di Tong fruit, and other spiritual objects arranged in a single line before her.

Liuli opened her eyes, her gaze profound. Her eyes were like deep pools, and she nodded lightly.

Her breath was also extraordinarily calm, and she was fully prepared for a breakthrough.

Shi Xue carefully observed for a while, seeing that her junior sister was fine. She comforted herself that she might have overthought it. "Let's go to Piaoxue Lou. There are restrictions left by the master, no one can disturb us. I will protect you."

Okay!

The glazed jade hand grasped at empty air, putting away the spirit creatures. Following Shi Xue out of the cave, she turned toward the back mountain, passed through the snowy path, and arrived at a valley. Inside, there stood alone a wooden building, solitary against the backdrop of snowflakes swirling in the sky.

The interior of the wooden building was spacious, though sparsely furnished. In the center lay a bed made of cold jade. Underneath the bed, an intricate six-petaled snowflake pattern was etched into the floor. When activated, it would form a protective barrier of light.

Adding a large formation around the wooden building serves as a double layer of protection, ensuring absolute security.

Liuli walked towards the cold jade bed, her fingers lightly tapping. A stream of light disappeared into the ground, and a semi-circular barrier of light burst forth, exceptionally solid.

Shi Xue then stood guard at the entrance of the wooden building, commanding the great formation.

Liuli and Shixue looked at each other, then sat cross-legged on the cold jade. They took out their spirit objects, closed their eyes.

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

For a moment, there was utter silence within the wooden building.

Shi Xue dared not relax, she constantly watched over the changes in Liuli.

I don't know how long it has been.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate something else!

The glass-like hands folded together on her lap, palms facing up in a gesture reminiscent of holding the moon. Suddenly, white mist arose from her palms.

Shi Xue saw this and her eyes narrowed slightly. She was very familiar with the Ice Soul Divine Light, knowing that this cold air was a result of the Ice Soul Divine Light influencing the environment. Her junior sister was approaching the most critical moment.

The cold gathered on her glazed palms, forming a ball within. It shimmered and refused to dissipate. At this moment, she seemed to be holding an ice globe in her hand.

It was at that moment.

The Yinli Pearl before Liuli trembled slightly, automatically rising and flying into the center of the cold air.

>

Although enveloped by the Glacial Divine Light, the Yinli Pearl did not melt. It rotated independently, proving to be incredibly resilient.

The cold now had an extra core to it.

At this time, Liuli no longer acted on the Yinli Pearl. Instead, she changed her target, drawing in the next level of coldness, repeatedly merging it into Bingpo Divine Light.

These spirits were not as hard as the Yinli Pearls. When struck by the ice-soul divine light, they instantly transformed into the purest cold air and were refined by the glazed glass.

The spirits before her vanished one by one.

In the end, only a few elixir-like medicinal herbs remained, such as di-tong fruits.

'Splat!'

>

One by one, the jade bottles were opened. The glazed sandalwood mouths slightly parted, swallowing the elixir. Immediately, a surge of cold air filled his palm, like a whirlwind of frost.

Under the onslaught of the storm, Yinli Zhu finally couldn't hold on. Its surface shimmered and flowed, as if about to melt, gradually revealing white cracks.

'Bang!'

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

The Yinli Pearl shattered into five pieces, the fragments instantly swept away by the storm and vanished completely, leaving behind a trace of purest cold air, strikingly visible within the Bingpo Divine Light.

Three Sanlitun fruits flew to Liuli's front, transforming into three balls of pure spirit liquid.

As Liuli swallowed the Earthly Tong fruit, she closed her eyes and remained motionless. However, a sudden fluctuation of energy rippled from her body.

The cold in his palm contracted wildly inwards. The Yin Li Zhu's chill seemed unable to bear the pressure, bursting suddenly and completely merging with the Bing Po Divine Light.

At the same time, the zhenyuan within Liuli's body was running wildly, like stormy waves, but her body remained motionless. This was because she intended to break through the bottleneck just as the secret art was about to be perfected!

The aura around Liuli rose steadily, without any hindrance, as smoothly as expected.

Shi Xue widened her eyes, her heart pounding with anxiety. Seeing this scene, her expression eased slightly, just about to break into a smile, when suddenly her face changed dramatically.

A blush, uncharacteristic and crimson, suddenly appeared on her cheeks as white as glass.

Her tightly closed eyes trembled even more, as if her emotions were undergoing intense turmoil, reaching a point of uncontrollable agitation.

Suddenly, Liuli's aura stopped abruptly, ceasing its ascent.

Liuli was still persevering, but her emotional swings were becoming increasingly obvious. Her breath grew erratic, and a chaotic energy began to surge within her. Her delicate frame trembled slightly, and even the icy divine light emanating from her palms flickered with instability.

Shi Xue was greatly surprised, her greatest fear had come true!

At this time, Qin Sang was in the snowy mountains north of Xuelou, searching for the underground yin meridian to prepare for refining an avatar.

As Qin Sang soared between the snow-capped mountains, his heart moved. He paused mid-air, and the Qianjun戒 glowed with brilliance. From within it, a white light flashed as the Elder's Order sprang out.

The Master is sending a message, and there is an urgent matter to attend to!

Qin Sang's eyes narrowed, he turned to look at Tingxue Building, secretly thinking that something must have gone wrong with the Sacred Ground's ceremony. He didn't dare hesitate and immediately flew back on his sword.

According to the Elder's instructions, Qin Sang found the mountain ravine and saw the wooden building.

His divine sense swept around, confirming that nothing was amiss.

Qin Sang dodged to the front of the wooden building, and only heard a creak as Shi Xue pulled open the door from inside. She looked at him with a complicated expression, then held out a jade slip and said sincerely, "I hope Master Qin can help Liuli once. Xuelou will definitely repay you!"

Qin Sang was bewildered. After reading the contents of the jade tablet, he was even more stunned and looked up at the person behind the door.

Just then, a cold air suddenly condensed into a small sword, falling from his nose and stopping Qin Sang at the door.

> Inside the room.

The glazed disc sat upon the cold jade, having awakened at an unknown time. Looking at Qin Sang and Shi Xue, her face was pale.

She allowed the breath inside her to fall rapidly, biting her vermilion lips tightly, her face a mask of stubbornness.
