Qin Sang's heart moved, he shook his head repeatedly, and said in a voice, "Fellow Daoist, you are joking. Even if we wanted to join the Lan Dou Sect, they wouldn't accept us."

"Indeed."

The strong man sighed, "We are all cultivators at the Qi Refining stage. Unless there are very special circumstances, those prestigious sects would not accept us. If they had a purpose, they wouldn't pass through the Questioning Heart Path of Lan Dou Men."

"Ask the Way of Your Heart"

Qin Sang heard this term for the first time and learned that it was a method used by Lan Dou Men to select disciples. It included all inner sect disciples, who had to walk a path of introspection after building their foundation.

Qi refinement disciples are mostly called outer sect or peripheral disciples in most sects. They cannot reach the highest level without building a foundation, and foundation establishment disciples are the core strength of the sect and must be treated with caution.

All major sects do not easily accept core disciples, and they all have similar methods.

Some even started doing this when accepting outer disciples, but the sects Qin Sang joined before were very special and he had not experienced it.

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

The Quiyin Sect recruits disciples as offerings to the Yanluo Banner. As long as the conditions are suitable, they welcome all comers.

The Yuanzhao Sect's grand celestial ascension event is essentially providing a blood sacrifice for the collapsing secret realm. To entice more loose cultivators to join, they wouldn't set any other thresholds.

Those selected to join the sect were completely disregarded. They were treated as laborers, subjected to heavy workloads and demanding expectations. There was no room for advancement, and once they reached a certain age, they were expelled.

Had it not been for Yu Hua, who was bribed by the Gui Yin Sect, Qin Sang would have been overwhelmed by the Yuan Zhao Gate and wouldn't have had time to cultivate at all.

Shaohua Mountain does have similar methods, but Qin Sang entered with the Sword Intent Decree, and this is only experienced after outer sect disciples build their foundation and change their jade tablets.

But Qin Sang's way of laying the foundation was special, unprecedented.

He was not only related to the long-lived elders of the sect, but even received medicine personally bestowed by the Yuan Ying ancestor. The Sect Master watched the whole process with admiration, being astonished beyond words. They didn't dare to use such methods on him at all.

By pure chance, I have never experienced it once.

Of course, even if Qin Sang underwent a heart-searching examination, it would be impossible for him to reveal any flaws. With the Jade Buddha's protection, this kind of tactic would have no effect on him.

Joining the "Lan Dou Gate" was just a joke; both knew it was impossible.

Qin Sang was deep in thought. He was afraid that he could only get in touch with the disciples of Lan Dou Men to find out about Qi Yunzi's whereabouts.

However, since the demon upheaval, the headmaster of Lan Dou Gate also went to the Demon Sea. Now, Lan Dou Gate is almost closed off, and core disciples rarely go out. Even in the market of Lan Dou Gate, it's difficult to run into them.

As the strongman said, it's impossible for outsiders to freely view the true teachings of Lan Dou Men. Even if they found those teachings, obtaining them would be a problem as well.

The burly man excitedly said, "Before I was a master craftsman at the Lan Dou Gate. He was very arrogant and charged exorbitant fees, but his skills were far inferior to Daoist Ming Yue's. Fortunately, he has been hiding in the Lan Dou Gate recently, so I came here after hearing recommendations from friends. Otherwise, I would have missed this opportunity!"

When the strong man said he saw him as a chance encounter, Qin Sang smiled faintly and dismissed the man, falling into thought.

A moment later, he hurried out of the quiet room, instructing the clerk briefly, and left in a hurry.

Not until the evening of the next day did Qin Sang return to his cave dwelling, staring at his outer avatar with flickering eyes. That day, he had gone to investigate the Lan Dou Sect and when the sects affiliated with it had taken in disciples.

It is said that Lan Dou Men accepts disciples once every cycle. Unfortunately, they just accepted a batch of disciples this year, so the next time won't be for another twelve years.

Qin Sang, who was originally filled with immense disappointment, learned that there was a sect called Yan Miao Ge affiliated with Lan Dou Men. This sect was going to hold a grand disciple recruitment ceremony soon, and many wandering cultivators had already arrived to prepare for it.

Although Yānmiǎo Ge is not as powerful as Lán Dòu Mén, its foundation is also very deep. The master of the sect is a skilled cultivator at the Jindan stage, and by relying on Lán Dòu Mén, he lives a comfortable life like a fish in water. It can be considered a prominent family.

During his conversation with the strong man, Qin Sang had a sudden thought. He himself would find it difficult to be accepted by the Lan Dou Gate, but his outer incarnation had a clean background, and there was a chance he could sneak in.

After Qin Sang brought his outer avatar into the market, the outer avatar remained secluded within his cave dwelling, practicing cultivation and avoiding contact with outsiders. The relationship between the two hadn't been exposed yet.

His real name is Zhang Yue. He hails from a respectable background and was once a cultivator who grew up on the island of Lu.

After possessing this body, Qin Sang arranged his posthumous affairs to give himself some peace of mind. Before leaving, he told his parents that he had left to seek enlightenment.

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

Therefore, Zhang Yue's identity was also preserved.

The footing is very clear.

Even if questioned, there is no fear. The external body manifests the sword soul within, inheriting a few points of the Jade Buddha's power. These sects cannot use excessively violent means on disciples just entering the sect, otherwise, it would cause irreparable internal injuries.

As long as the Yuan Ying ancestor isn't present, it's difficult to expose the true identity of an avatar.

If he were to infiltrate Lan Dou Men, Qin Sang would have to hesitate for a moment. Yan Miao Ge simply doesn't have cultivators that powerful enough to see through the disguise of his external avatar.

Yān Miǎo Gē and Lán Dòu Mén have a close relationship, their roundabout approach might take some time, but it could be a viable option.

He can still remain outside in his true form and secretly investigate.

Internal and external cooperation are the key to greater opportunities.

What worried Qin Sang the most was that his avatar's strength wasn't enough. If he encountered danger, he wouldn't be able to respond, and if things didn't go as planned and his avatar got hurt, it would be too late to regret.

"

Enough, wealth and nobility are sought in danger!

"

Qin Sang's face darkened, and he made up his mind.

Just like the "Heavenly Demon's Body Refining" and avatars are equally important, one cannot be without the other. It's worth taking a gamble.

However, Qin Sang would not act rashly. He had to give his avatar enough means of self-preservation.

The best are treasures like Fire Beads and Virtual Sky Thunder, their power is terrifying, and they erupt instantly. The enemy has nowhere to hide, but they've already been used up. As a fallback, you can only prepare more magic weapons like the Devouring Yuan Cones.

What's most abundant here is demon corpses.

Qin Sang's refining skills have improved tremendously. He is confident that by reforging the Devouring Yuan Cone, he can enhance its power to a level that even cultivators at the false Dan realm would fear.

The Devouring Cone is more than enough to deal with ordinary dangers. If it were targeted by a cultivator at the Core Formation stage, it would be helpless.

Qin Sang thought for a moment and decided to let Tianmu Die follow his avatar.

The Tianmu Butterfly Spirit is adept at the art of hiding and transforming. Its ability to conceal itself surpasses even that of its external avatars, allowing it to deceive heaven and cross seas undetected.

After obtaining the Thunderclap Divine Ability, Tianmu Die's strength wasn't weak either. She should be able to hold her own against a Core Formation cultivator for a while and last until her true body arrives.

When his avatar was sent away, his true body naturally wouldn't leave too far.

The power of the green cash talisman is still potent and can be used. When the time comes, have your avatar wear it as a timely warning.
