Chapter 1759: Xuanji Gate
lp stop Zhou Guard’s bleeding and treat his wound properly, lest it endanger his life.”"Yes, sir!">Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!The imperial physician opened the m...The term "zhenglu" refers to the legal documents conferred by the two courts of the Taoist Temple, also known as official talismans.

Corresponding to this are the talismans taught by various schools and sects outside of Daode, known as private talismans.
Whether it is Zhenglu or Silu, at its core, it refers to having corresponding cultivation techniques. To sense the celestial heart, one should seek down the Fa Lu that corresponds to the guardian deities of the altar. Cultivate step by step, following the order.
According to Qin Sang's understanding, there is another type of talisman in the Taoist sect. Some talismans are missing their cultivation methods, or they cannot sense the corresponding divine general corresponding to the talisman.
The former can cultivate other techniques, but because the techniques cannot harmonize with talismans, they mostly cannot enjoy the benefits that talismans offer during cultivation. Their cultivation and breakthroughs are naturally more difficult than others.
The latter can only forcibly store the thoughts of other gods. For the same reason that they cannot fit, there is a risk of instability in their minds.
These are called external talismans.
Upon hearing this, Qin Sang immediately had an idea. Obtaining the external talismans would obviously be easier.
He was skilled enough in his own arts and wouldn't change them unless absolutely necessary. He didn't care much about the benefits talismans could bring him.
With the protection of the Jade Buddha, the guardian spirits can be dispensed with.
That is to say, all the disadvantages of the external talisman do not pose a problem for him, as long as the power of stabilizing one's vital energy remains!

Qin Sang thought more and more that the outer talisman was very suitable for him.
However, the damaged talismans mean that the former sect has been broken off. Receiving a talisman requires the transmission from the sect's main altar. With the lineage broken, where would the main altar be found Who could bestow a talisman upon him
Dao Ting may have this information, but the problem returns to the original point: how can he gain Dao Ting's trust and obtain these secrets
In any case, Qin Sang at least found a feasible path, and not just one.
As far as he knew, there was also a saying about Dao Ting granting talismans.
When a Taoist cultivator gains recognition from the Dao Court and joins as an immortal official, if they wish to leave their original sect, they can even be granted a formal rank (zheng lu), truly joining the cultivation ranks of the two academies within the Dao Court.
It sounds like the same as worldly promotions.
>
But joining Dao Ting, the review will certainly be extremely strict, and it is almost impossible to obtain a flawless identity.
A person in the Dao court is not their own master.
It is inevitable that many worldly affairs will weigh him down, affecting his cultivation. This is not Qin Sang's wish.
He didn't want to spend too much energy on the Qingyang Guan he founded himself, so after setting up the basic structure, he became a hands-off manager.
Adding all sorts of considerations, he would not compromise unless absolutely necessary.
As his thoughts whirled, a thoughtful expression appeared on Qin Sang's face.
After a moment, he shook his head and said: "I'm not a fellow cultivator who practices the Star-Killing incantation, but I'm skilled in things like summoning and refining shapes."
Just now, when I saw Fa Zhao's reward, a thought struck me. Since we can't find the place where starlight converges, why not start somewhere else

This realm has countless masters of the Taoist path, and there are many talismans whose ways are related to the Zhoutian stars.
If one could invite a powerful being to use talismans to draw in starlight and perform a celestial energy infusion for themselves, it should also be possible.
Such a high requirement is placed on the person who performs the curse. This person's cultivation level must certainly be at least in the Nascent Soul Stage or higher.
It's not easy to find someone as skilled as that.
When Xingyuan was undergoing the ritual of body tempering, Qin Sang needed to concentrate on breaking through while also guarding against the other party's treachery and ill intentions.
Dao Ting's legal summons gave Qin Sang hope.
He unfurled the magical decree, or traded merits for help from powerful individuals, effectively making a pact with the Daoist Temple akin to a sworn oath that impacted their reputation.
The person who made the move should not dare to defy righteousness and commit a heinous crime against him in secret.
His worries were resolved.
However, when Star Yuan is infused, one must carefully consider what incantation to use.
The Star Killing Talisman, as its name suggests, is purely a killing talisman. Qin Sang was seeking a breakthrough, not death, so it was obviously unsuitable for him.
This system of Daoist talismans is comprehensive and all-encompassing. Because many talismans possess multiple powers, there has been no strict classification. There are only a few commonly accepted methods of division.
So-called praying mantis refining the form refers to two categories.
The
Qiangbu amulets can dispel negativity, detoxify, and resolve unfavorable situations. Many also possess healing properties.
Reformation is a kind of reinforcing curse. Soldiers from the Camp Formation Altar mainly use it for their subordinates, while those from the Dragon-Tiger Altar primarily use it on themselves. The latter are most skilled in this aspect. When breaking mountains or temples, they often enlarge their bodies to several meters by using such curses.

It can be seen that the talisman of the Qianglian Refining Body Department are mostly harmless, and what Qin Sang wanted were these kinds of talismans.
The old Daoist understood Qin Sang's request, pondered for a moment, stroked his long beard and said: "Daoist friend, the old man understands your intentions. There are countless talismans in the world, but if it comes to this kind of talismanic technique, it must be from Xuanji Gate. Especially the Northern Palace Southern Pole Talisman practiced by the disciples of the sect is truly unparalleled in its refinement!"
"Beigong Nandou..."
Qin Sang pondered silently, thinking to himself, listening to the name of this spell formula, it seems to only attract the power of the Beidou and Nandou stars.
He cultivated the Heavenly Demon Body Refining Art, and he didn't particularly select any stars. The cultivation method itself didn't have such a requirement.

From the beginning of his cultivation, he greedily absorbed all the starlight in the void, revolving the celestial bodies, encompassing everything.

Along the way, there were no errors.
If one only receives the light of the two fighting stars, I wonder if it would have any impact because the stars are not complete
As for his own path, Qin Sang naturally wanted to make sure he understood this spell.
Upon being asked, the old Daoist burst into laughter. “Friend Daoist, you’ve come to the right person. Three hundred years ago, this old one was fortunate enough to have witnessed once from afar the display of power of the Northern Palace Nandou Creation Talisman. Though named thus, this talisman starts with the Big Dipper and draws upon the power of all celestial bodies, as it is said that Nandou nourishes life and ultimately transfers the influence of Nandou through a spell. The power of celestial bodies is immense and complex; however, when this talisman is cast, it remains perfectly ordered. That's why it has such a great reputation."
Upon hearing this, Qin Sang's expression eased slightly. He looked to see if there were any masters in Xuanji Gate who could help him break through.
The old Daoist observed their expressions and slowed his tone, reminding them, "Friend Daoist, don't be too quick to rejoice. The more profound the North Palace Nan Dou's refining talisman is, the harder it is to cultivate, and the higher the requirements for those who cast spells. Such figures are not so easy to persuade…"
Qin Sang remained impassive and asked, "I wonder how many people in the Xuanji Gate have cultivated this talisman"
The old man raised a finger. "As far as I know, there is only one person now!"
"One person"
Qin Sang's eyes narrowed slightly. Could it be the headmaster of Xuanji Gate
"There is only one person, unless the Xuangui Gate has another Dongxuan Zhenren, who keeps it secret," the old Taoist nodded.
The cultivation base of a Dongxuan Fawei Real Person is equivalent to that of a cultivator who has achieved the Nascent Soul stage.
This should be a paragraph.
That is to say, this talisman can only be cultivated by a cultivator who has ascended to the divine realm. If one can summon the other party to exert their full strength, there is a high probability that Qin Sang's request will be fulfilled.
Only the master of Xuanji Sect can mend this symbol, as the old man said. It's not easy to ask for a favor from a sect leader.
After some thought, Qin Sang temporarily put the Xuanji Gate aside and decided to consider it later. He still had thirty years.
He continued to question the old Taoist, asking if other sects had similar talismans. He gleaned a few more clues from his answers.
Similarly, there are similar talismans in the Dao court.
But after much deliberation, the North Star of Xuanji Gate's Beigong still remains the most suitable for refining talismans.
Thank you, fellow traveler!
Qin Sang took out a magic treasure and pushed it to the old Taoist.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated! I'm happy to help.
The old Taoist's eyes lit up upon seeing the magical treasure, and he smiled as he accepted it. "Does my friend have any further questions This poor Daoist will certainly answer all of them. The method of forging this treasure is quite mysterious, and it serves as more than adequate recompense for the previous question. As long as it doesn't involve core secrets, this old Taoist can bestow it upon you as well."

The cultivators of this world also rely on external objects, but this realm places more emphasis on divine powers and talismans. The three schools each have their own strengths, and their power is equally formidable, unlike the Storm Realm cultivators who depend so heavily on magic treasures.
Of course, if they encounter a superior artifact or treasure, they will not hesitate to vie for it.
Qin Sang possessed a mastery of refining weaponry. In this world, he had the opportunity to truly shine, but now was not the time to consider such things. He needed to address the immediate threat before him.
The old Taoist took the initiative to speak, and Qin Sang wouldn't be polite. He pondered and asked some questions he wanted to know, reaping a lot of benefits.
Leaving the store.
It was late at night.
Before he arrived, Qin Sang had heard that the night sky in Gu Shanji was especially dark, with few stars or moon.
Looking up at the sky, it is indeed so.
There seemed to be a layer of dark clouds covering the night sky, making it hard to find stars. There was only a halo of light in the center of the sky, which must have been the full moon.
Qin Sang's wide sleeves billowed as she walked alone on the street, pondering what to do next.
>
He had just asked the old Taoist about two strange places within Mount Jiuzhen where starlight inexplicably gathered.
Due to a special phenomenon, Mount Jushan has become somewhat well-known, but many Taoist cultivators have gone to investigate it and found no reason.
Qin Sang wanted to come and review the case files. After checking them, he determined that the star essence in those two locations was not concentrated enough and did not meet the requirements, so he lost interest.
Following Qin Sang's custom, even if he thought of other methods, he couldn't pin all his hopes on them. Only a two-pronged approach could ensure foolproof results.
The gathering place of stars still needs to be found!
The world is not only home to the forces of the Dao Courts, but also to the Ghost Nation and the boundless Sea and Plain of Calamities.
Just because there isn't one in Dao Ting, doesn't mean there isn't one somewhere else.
Thinking about this, Qin Sang remembered the snake and the weasel. This was their time to shine.
However, Qin Sang was not in a hurry to act. She had not yet seen Shi Xuan and the others this time.
Taking out a jade talisman and crushing it, Qin Sang moved into a nearby inn.
The inn has independent courtyards, each one a cave dwelling.

After not much time, the three people rushed into the inn and triggered the prohibition.
Come in.
Restrictions lifted.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Shi Xuan took the lead and stepped into the small courtyard. Seeing Qin Sang, he bowed deeply, "The juniors greet their senior."
Facing Qin Sang again, Shi Xuan and the other two seemed much more at ease.
Their sect wasn't short of cultivators who had ascended to the Xuan realm. Before, they only suddenly learned about Qin Sang's true cultivation level and were a bit at a loss.
However, despite the sect's strength, they wouldn't dare offend a true disciple. They still behaved respectfully.
"Sorry for the wait."
Qin Sang was pleased and, with a smile, beckoned.
The three bowed and sat down. Before Qin Sang could ask, Shi Xuan took the initiative to say, “Reporting to Senior, after we returned, we presented the tiger corpse to the immortal officials of Beiji Qu Xie Yuan and received a reward of ten thousand merit points. We should return it to you.”
"Ten thousand or so"
Qin Sang was slightly surprised.
Of all the fa summons he saw, at most three thousand were able to kill a demon marshal with strength comparable to that of a tiger demon.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
Summoning techniques at the Nascent Soul level are extremely rare, with less than ten thousand practitioners, and their difficulty is exceptionally high.
Such a large amount of merit is clearly not due to the tiger demon. They very likely stumbled upon some conspiracy unintentionally.
Shi Xuan said again that the Beijiu Qu Xie Yuan wanted to invite him, asking if he was interested.
There's no need to rush this.
Qin Sang shook his head slightly.
At this moment, Shi Xuan remembered something and said with a grave expression: “This junior remembers that the senior had once inquired about the location where stellar energy converged. Without permission, this junior rashly asked the elders of my sect. Please punish me, senior.”
Qin Sang looked him up and down, meaning deeply: "What crime is there for inquiring about news for the poor Taoist Not only can I not punish you, no matter whether there are results or not, the poor Taoist will reward you heavily!"
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
Shi Xuan seemed to have truly relaxed, his expression turning joyful as he said, "Thanks to your guidance, junior has not disgraced the name of our master. From what I've learned from our master, there is a place hidden in Mount Ju, it's unknown to most people! However, I don't know if the star energy there is potent enough to meet your requirements."
Upon hearing this, Qin Sang immediately became interested and inquired further. He learned that the place was located in the northern part of Hèmíng Mountain, very remote. The Nine Heavens Cave Celestial named Xinggu was discovered there.
According to the description, Star Yuan's power is far more concentrated than the other two places!
"Great!"
Qin Sang praised him and took out a long whip-shaped treasure from Qianjun Jie as a reward.
Shi Xuan took it, unwilling to let go.
To transfer merit, one needs to go to the Daoist Temple's residence. Qin Sang has already left a spiritual contract at the Daoist Temple, so Shi Xuan and others can directly transfer the merit to him without needing to be present in person.
Qin Sang only wants the whole numbers, and gives them the decimal part.
After Shi Xuan and others left, Qin Sang stayed in Xiancheng for two more days before leaving the city again.
This time, he flew out from the North Gate, heading northeast alone. When he was about to reach the boundary where the two major forces confronted each other, he landed on a barren mountain and opened his spirit beast bag.
'Bang! Bang!'
A snake and a wretched creature rolled to the ground, and seeing each other, the snake bared its teeth again.
"Okay!"
Qin Sang said in a deep voice.
The two demons were startled and prostrated themselves on the ground.
“Not far ahead lies the territory occupied by the Ghost Kingdom.”
Qin Sang looked at the snake demon and said, then took out that token and threw it to it.
The serpent demon inflated its demonic wind to catch itself, staring at Qin Sang in disbelief. It couldn't believe that Qin Sang would let it go.
Qin Sang would never let it go so easily. He needed someone to infiltrate the Ghost Fang Kingdom, gather information for him, and plant the source of the bloodthirsty miasma on the snake demon.
He looked at the Snake Demon and said, "Even if you take the token back to the Ghostly Kingdom, it's unlikely that you would be easily reused. Why don't we cooperate"
“You... what does the celestial being want me to do”
The serpent demon felt a surge of caution.
“You want to make a name for yourself, and so do I.”
Qin Sang pointed at it, then at himself, "If there's an opportunity, why not communicate"
The serpent demon remained silent. Although it hadn't lived for long, it understood that spies usually met a terrible end.
“Rest assured, my friend. I can swear on it that from now on, I will always seek your consent before doing anything, and I will never force you to take any risks or endanger your life for espionage. After a hundred years, I will lift the restriction on you. However…”
Qin Sang's tone turned cold, "If you want to betray me, think carefully. You were once captured by humans, will they fully trust you"
The snake demon trembled, silent for a long time before nodding. "I hope you keep your promise."
In a short while, the serpent demon slithered away.
Qin Sang watched the demon leave, considering it a discarded piece.
The snake demon took the token back, if it came into contact with high-ranking officials of the ghost realm, its hidden poison might be detected.
It's certainly delightful when things work out, but if they get out of hand, there's no real loss for him either.
The Bestiary was full of envy as they watched the Snake Demon regain its freedom.
However, when Qin Sang first arrived, he exposed quite a few things in front of this demon and couldn't be let go for the time being.damp canyon deep within the desolate mountain range, moss blanketed the rocks. Strange and varied insects crawled in and out of the crevices, releasing a faint stench of decay.Qin Sang weighed the mus...
