Chapter 1699: Bai Chuan Ruins
s cloud mass was unusually vast, almost covering half the sky. Even Yuncang Lake wasn't spared; its waters turned a fiery red, with towering waves crashing ashore, creating an awe-inspiring spectacle....>
There are two theories about the origin of this name.
First is the terrain surrounding the ruins market, which is located on the coast of the East Sea in the Northern Wilderness. The nearby water veins are well-developed and converge towards the East Sea like a hundred rivers returning to their source.

The second saying is that the founder of this market was named Baichuan Ancestor.
The East Sea Coast is the most prosperous place in Beihua, with more than half of Beihua's demon sects building their gates here. Compared to other parts of Beihua, it is a relatively peaceful place. Although not as strict as the Central Plains where cultivators are bound by rules and major demon sects have established conventions and laws, generally refraining from acting recklessly, it still maintains a certain order.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
But in a place where demons run rampant, there will always be those who break the rules.
That is to say, even at the seaside of the East China Sea, there are not many places where safety can be guaranteed and both parties can feel confident in trading. Bai Chuan Market is one such place.
The owner of Baichuan Ruins dares to set rules and has the ability to make others follow them.
There is a deeper meaning behind trading in Bai Chuan Ruins.
It is rumored that Bai Chuan Ruins and Jin Yu Men have a close relationship, and some even claim that the forces controlling Bai Chuan Ruins are actually disciples of Jin Yu Men, a two-faced operation.
The Golden Jade Gate's immense wealth stems from its ability to operate in the three regions of the East Sea, the Northern Wastes, and the Central Plains, securing advantageous positions on all sides.
Mo Xingdao hails from the Northern Wastelands, and Qin Sang is wary of Mo Xingdao befriending demonic cultivators. He suspects malicious intent. Bai Chuan Ruins is a place that both parties can accept.
At that time, before being hunted by the Holy King, Qin Sang was just habitually cautious.
If he were not injured, the deity and his avatar would be present together, unafraid of Mo Xindao's schemes, unless Mo Xindao gathered all the northern demonic sects to hunt him down.
Where many streams converge, there are naturally boats on the river.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
Even, many cultivators occupy the water veins near Bai Chuan Ruins Market, using spirit arrays to seal off a water area and make magic boats. They park these on the river surface as their dwelling places.
There are also similar caves for rent.
Inside an ordinary-looking astral ship, a member of the Moon Guard sat silently meditating.
Suddenly, Ming Yuewei's eyelids twitched, waking from her meditation. With a flip of her right hand, a small jade seal appeared in her palm. It was a kind of talisman used for communication.
The talisman faintly shimmered, quite conspicuous in the dim cave. The jade bead at its top emanated a light with a certain rhythm.
When Mingyuewei saw this, her expression tightened.
"To the Jade Pearl, he bowed respectfully and said, “Greetings to my lord!”
"Is Mo Xingdao still in his cave"
The voice of Qin Sang's incarnation echoed from within the talisman.
At this time, Qin Sang's avatar had already arrived near Bai Chuan Ruins and did not show himself.
A few days ago, Qin Sang received news that Mo Xingdao had appeared in Bai Chuan Xu. He then ordered his subordinates to secretly monitor Mo Xingdao's movements. The Mingyue Guard was only at the initial stage of Yuan Ying, and even if they mobilized their entire force, it would be impossible to track Mo Xingdao; they would only end up dying for nothing. Qin Sang didn't have much hope, so he just told them to gather information.
To his surprise, Mo Xingdao had made no effort to conceal his whereabouts. He left the agreed-upon mark and rented a cave dwelling in Xishi, the western market of Baichuan Ruins. He never left, seemingly waiting for Qin Sang to arrive.
Of course, whether Mo Xingdao truly came here in person or, like Qin Sang, was feigning a presence, is unknown. Even the Yin Yue Guard dared not enter to investigate.
>
"I have never seen him come out."
The moon guards replied.
In the distance, Qin Sang transformed, his face etched with contemplation as he gazed towards the direction of Bai Chuan Ruins.
>
This time, only an avatar has come here. My main body is seriously injured, and even if I rushed over, it would be difficult to play any role. In case of an accident, the avatar will take the blame, and my main body will not be harmed.
A moment later, the avatar spoke to the talisman in his hand. The opposite side's Moon Guard replied respectfully, but after the connection was severed, his brow furrowed again, becoming somewhat anxious and uneasy.
But he was controlled by the Yin Moon Seal, his life and death were in someone else's hands, and he dared not resist.
Fortunately, the new master doesn't seem as capricious and cruel as Su Zinan. He was given a treasure that had already been refined in advance.
The moon guard Ming Yue opened the mustard seed pouch and took out a mirror. It was the Thousand Worlds Mirror that had already been repaired.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
With a light touch of his palm against the surface of the mirror, spiritual energy surged within his hand.
"Wow!"
The mirror gleamed brightly, emitting a rich glow.
What was peculiar was that the beam of light seemed to have encountered an invisible barrier in the void, abruptly ending. As the brightness fluctuated, a mirror image of Qian Huanjing gradually formed within the void.
The reflection existed only for a moment, then vanished.
Leave the mirror image here, scattering invisible reflections along the way. When facing danger, you can easily escape and return to the flying boat. The Thousand Worlds Mirror is undoubtedly a treasure for escaping danger, but its drawbacks are that it requires prior preparation and is limited by distance.

Mirror images gather shape.
Concerned for her own safety, Mingyue Wei carefully checked again, confirming everything was in order. She left the dharma boat alone, boarded a pleasure craft, and sailed into Bai Chuan Ruins.
The city is also crisscrossed by rivers, and in the center there is a spiritual lake. The four markets in the southeast, northwest are all built around the spiritual lake, forming a veritable water city.
Ming Yuewei was, after all, a Yuan Ying ancestor. No fool would dare to cause him trouble, so he smoothly entered the city and went to Xishi, arriving at Mo Xindao's cave abode.
Touch forbidden.
Soon, the cave opened, and a person walked out.
This person was dressed as a scholar, and his appearance and build were very different from Mo Xindao's.
"Friend, you are..."
The scholar narrowed his eyes, a question mark on his face.
Before he could finish his words, a blood qi gathered in the center of Ming Yue Wei's brow, manifesting as the Moonlit Seal.
The scholar smiled faintly, his figure and features twisting and changing, revealing his true face. It was Mo Xindao himself who had arrived!
When he was about to leave his mark, he disguised himself. If he had appeared in his true form, the news of the first wandering cultivator from the Northern Waste entering the city would have caused panic throughout the entire Hundred Streams Ruins.
He traveled with Su Zinan for a while, but he didn't meet all the members of the Moon Guard.
Upon seeing the Yin Moon Mark, I confirmed the other party's identity.
“Greetings, fellow cultivator. May I ask your Dharma name”
>
Mo Xindao extended his hand in a welcoming gesture, showing great politeness and not treating the Moon Guard's identity with any disrespect.
>
“As a slave, I have no right to use my old name again.”
Ming Yuewei looked indifferent.
Mo Xingdao nodded, not taking offense. He then asked, "How is Daoist Qingfeng"
Having seen Su ZiNan's infant captured back then, I knew that both Lu Ye and the Yin Yue Guard must have fallen into Qin Sang's hands. Qin Sang's incarnation went by the name Qing Feng Dao Chang. After Xie Family members had gone to Ganlu Zen Temple to mourn in front of the gate, news of his identity as a member of Wu Xiang Xian Men also began to spread.
"I am here by the Master's order."
Ming Yuewei, mindful of her duty, said nothing more. She immediately retrieved the communication talisman and informed her avatar of the situation before withdrawing from the cave abode herself.
The imprint emitted a somewhat indistinct voice, "Greetings, Mo Dao."
Mo Xingdao's response was unexpected: "Daoist Qin, you are late. I have been waiting for a while."
After a moment of silence, the transformed figure said, "Fellow Daoist, you already know."
"The Holy King's intentions are nefarious, but they cannot escape the eyes of those with discernment. Mo is certainly not the only one who feels indignant on behalf of Qin Dao-friend. It’s a pity that our voices are weak and easily disregarded," Mo Xingdao said in a low voice.
>
"Huashan sighed, 'I admire your devotion. Qin appreciates it. You must understand my current predicament. I'm forced to contact you this way; please forgive me.'"
Mo Xingdao said with a slight nod, then glanced outside the cave dwelling and asked in confusion, "Qin Daoist shouldn't have placed the Five Elements Dan on Mingyuewei, right Mo has already brought the Lingxi Immortal Fruit. I wonder what Qin Daoist means by this. Does the previous agreement still stand, or are we changing the terms of the trade"
As for himself, since he has come, it already proves his attitude.
The avatar did not answer, speaking to himself instead: “Qin also, like Mo Daoist, is a solitary individual, with no one to help him. Though forced by the Holy King, Qin managed to escape, but as a result, he was severely injured, his foundation shaken. His main body’s injuries are extremely serious and have yet to heal. His outer avatar’s cultivation is insufficient and cannot stand alone.”
Mo Xingdao listened silently, without interjecting.
"It's not that I don't trust you, but these two medicinal herbs are of great importance. As for me, Qin, I am considered a thorn in the side of the Holy King, a frightened bird. Even during my prime, I wouldn't dare to be too confident."
After explaining his own situation, the man disguised as Fang Dao said, "The matter of the transaction was initiated by Qin himself, so naturally he wouldn't go back on his word."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Mo Xingdao almost understood, "Qin Daoist means..."
"Both the Five Elements Pill and the Lingxi Immortal Fruit should be taken at the moment of breaking through. For you and me, they are not urgent...Fellow Daoist's cultivation should not have reached its peak yet, right"
The avatar suddenly asked back.
Mo Xingdao's expression twitched, but he didn't answer.
However, their realms were comparable. They had even fought before. Although Qin Sang couldn't see through Mo Xingdao's true strength, he could make a rough judgment based on some signs.

"The Incarnation suggested, 'Since this isn't urgent, wouldn't it be possible for you to give us some time When the storm has passed and Qin's injuries have healed, I can find a way to make a deal.'"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Having been targeted by the Qinghu Saint King, Qin Sang could not afford to be careless.
Mo Xingdao managed to bring out the Lingxi Immortal Fruit, but at what cost He had been staying on the Guiyan Plateau for so long; Qin Sang couldn't help but be suspicious.
Even with the divine power threatening, the incarnation facing Mo Xindao and the puppet alone seemed too thin.
When it comes to matters of life and death, one can never be too cautious.
Qin Sang tried to delay some time, at least until the deity refined the demonic fire origin. When facing a god-transformation cultivator, he would have a chance of fighting back before considering the matter of trading.
regardless of the benefits that a major advancement in spiritual awareness may bring.
According to Qin Sang's estimation based on the performance of the two cultivators who ascended during the Demon Subjugation War, as long as the essence of the Demonic Fire is refined, the Fire Lotus could also possess the power of a Divine Transformation cultivator. And since Qin Sang controlled the Fire Lotus, it was like an extension of his own arm, consuming far less energy than six firebirds.
It won't be too long.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Mo Xindao's puppet was proficient in Yin-Yang escaping techniques, appearing and disappearing at will, so it was considered slightly less cautious than him.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
To persuade Mo Xingdao, Qin Sang appealed to his emotions and reason, and also sent the Mingyue Guards to show her sincerity.
Both parties understood each other implicitly and did not mention the cooperation and transactions after the Yibao Meeting of Liu Zhutang, but they were both aware of each other's identities. That transaction went well and laid a good foundation.
They are now considered to be keeping the medicine for each other.
If Mo Xingdao completely disregarded others and insisted on trading now, Qin Sang would have to carefully consider Mo Xingdao's intentions.
Mo Xingdao neither said yes nor no, and remained silent for a moment before saying: “This time I came here for two reasons. One is to fulfill the agreement with fellow Daoist, and the other is to deliver a message for someone.”
On the other side of the mark, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and his whole body tensed.
Across the seal, Mo Xingdao seemed to feel the nervousness of his avatar.
He spoke in a calm voice: "Friend, don't worry. I, Mo, am here by the order of Saint Hui Guang. Before leaving, the saint gave me a grain of sand, saying that when I contacted you, open the restriction within it. There is important business to discuss with you, concerning the grievances between Qinghu Saint King and you, the Xie family, and your future situation. As a sign of sincerity, the saint's true form is still in Central Plains. If Friend Qin doesn't mind, I will now open the sand."
After a long silence.
Having confirmed that the other party couldn't track them through the talisman, they still added a layer of concealment restrictions.
This appears to be a fragment of HTML code with an empty paragraph tag. Please note that I only translated the content within the tags, not the tags themselves.
If the communication distance wasn't limited, he definitely could have retreated farther.
What does the Holy Light bring to the table
Could it be that because of the Xie family's crying incident, they couldn't stop the rumors and felt pressured
Can the Wise Light Saint block the Qinghu Saint King for him
Of course, the other party had that ability, but Qin Sang couldn't figure out his reason for doing so.
Since it was Mo Xingdao who was sent to deliver the message, the Holy One of Hui Guang must have known about the deal. This matter needs to be handled carefully, as the transaction is likely to face further complications.
The figure's voice was low and deep: "Go ahead, fellow cultivator!"
Mo Xingdao then took out a grain of yellow sand from his mustard seed bag.
A seemingly ordinary grain of sand, after Mo Xingdao infused it with his seal, suddenly expanded and transformed into countless tiny particles.
A Buddhist saying goes, "One grain of sand represents a world." This scene exemplifies it perfectly.
Dust hovered within the cave dwelling, casting a murky yellow hue over the entire space. A faint rustling of wind and sand filled the air, followed by the emergence of two figures from the swirling dust.
The figure was hazy, composed of yellow sand, but one could make out an old monk and a woman.
>
The Sage of Wisdom, with this strange yellow sand treasure, used his divine powers to transmit thoughts from the Central Plains all the way here.
The old monk, Sha Yin, had dull eyes. Facing the talisman, his lips moved, his voice as deep and resonant as that of the Holy Light, "But what about Master Qin being present"
After a moment, the incarnation bowed and said, "Greetings, Holy Monk."
Confirming his identity, the holy sage Huiguang's speaking pace suddenly quickened. "This technique of transmitting thoughts cannot be maintained for too long. This humble monk will be brief. As the saying goes, sworn enemies should be reconciled rather than allowed to fester. This humble monk wishes to act as a mediator, resolving the grievances between Qin Shizhu and the Azure Fox Saint King. What say you, Qin Shizhu
The doppelganger opposite stared blankly.
I didn't expect the Holy One of Light to actually get involved and take the initiative in this kind of matter.
Can Zhongzhou Zhengdao truly uphold justice
After a moment of hesitation, the avatar said coldly, “What grievances It’s just that Qin was unilaterally hunted down by the Holy King, right As for whether those two crocodile demons are followers of the Holy King, everyone knows it in their hearts. Don't try to fool people with this kind of trickery anymore!”
>
The phantom of the Azure Fox Holy King beside her remained silent.
The voice of the Sage Huiguang was flat and calm as he revealed the truth, "This monk has inquired, and the reason why the Fox Saint King attacked you was because he was attracted by a treasure on your body, coupled with previous grievances, so he acted without hesitation. This monk knows that this reason is untenable and cannot be taken for granted. But we cultivators have reached this realm, and such things are commonplace. We also know that there are no unresolved grudges. If this knot can be untied, you wouldn't have to be so cautious, and you could feel relieved, right So this monk feels that there is a possibility of resolving it."
Perhaps it's because the magical arts aren't sustainable for long, but the words of the Holy Luminary were very direct.
>
The other party's candor left me speechless.
Do not become an incarnation response.
The Sage Hui Guang continued, “The Qinghu Saint King is sincere in his repentance and willing to pay the price, compensate the benefactor for their losses, and swear that he will never take the initiative to harm them again. This poor monk is willing to be a witness!”
