Chapter 277: Qingfeng Daochang

slab for a while, unable to find its target, and then scattered away.“Ahem...”Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!Yun Qiao staggered, clutching her wound, but still ins...The wanderer also told Qin Sangming that there were more than just Xuanwen Huangjing that emitted this mysterious yellow aura. The probability of it being Xuanwen Huangjing beneath that mysterious yellow aura was only 50%.

Apart from the yellow and brown auras, other colored auras may also contain similar medicinal herbs. The Cloud-Roaming Son promised that no matter what kind of elixir it was, as long as it could be effective in repairing internal injuries, he would do his best to help Qin Sang collect herbs and would refine the pills free of charge.

Likewise, Qin Sang also had to reciprocate, offering assistance to Yun Youzi when needed.

The Cloud Wanderer suspected that these spirit herbs were likely guarded by spirit beasts. Even if they successfully reached their destination, picking the herbs would probably not be easy and would require everyone to work together.

This request is reasonable, Qin Sang would naturally not refuse.

However, before that, the first thing they had to consider was how to find the suspected presence of this medicine garden.

This place was discovered, and the story of its finding is rather complicated.

This place was originally the abode of an ancient cultivator, located between the Jiuyong Pass and Xuanlu Pass, in the area where the inner and middle layers meet. The tentacles of major sects could not reach here, so it has been a chaotic place since ancient times.

The emergence of the cave dwelling caused a great commotion, attracting the attention of many people, including some cultivators at the core formation stage.

However, after breaking the outer prohibition, everyone found that the cave was empty, with no valuable treasures. Those who entered the cave all returned empty-handed.

Fortunately, the remaining restrictions in the cave dwelling were still intact. Later, a cultivator repaired the restrictions, and a market was built there, named Qiuhong Market.

Due to its location, Qiu Hongfang Market is not close to any other markets or towns. Moreover, the market's barrier formation is powerful and has stood for decades without falling, making it an extremely safe haven. Therefore, the flow of people in the market gradually increased, and its reputation grew larger and larger.

Until one year, when a celestial phenomenon arrived, no one had expected that a large group of cloud beasts comparable to those in the Jindan period would emerge from the depths of the ancient battlefield of immortals and wander to Qiuhongfang Market, causing the destruction of Qiuhongfang Market. The owner of the market was surrounded and killed by the cloud beasts. Only then did everyone realize that there was another world within Qiuhongfang Market!

Deep within the depths of Qiu Hongfang Market, a larger guardian formation was hidden, and it was within this formation that the true cave abode lay!

There is the real treasure trove of ancient cultivators!

Because the commotion caused when this cave dwelling first appeared was quite large, many people knew about its existence. The owner of the marketplace couldn't possibly claim it for themselves. Instead, they hatched a plan, spending a great deal of money to repair the restrictions and, under the cover of the marketplace, secretly worked to crack the protective formation.

After the exposure of the Grand Protective Formation, people flocked to Qiumingfang Market to seek treasures. However, the formation was extremely dangerous, and entering it was no easy feat. Many perished within its grasp.

Later, I finally figured out the rules of the guardian formation. Every thirty years or so, the formation would enter a low valley period. During this period, foundation-building cultivators form formations and venture into the formation together. There's a high probability that they can successfully get through.

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

Over the years, many cultivators have come and gone, but this secret passage has never been discovered before.

The sight of the jade pendant is what the first person to discover the secret passage saw and recorded. However, this person mysteriously died after leaving, and the news never came out.

Until two years ago, there were rumors about secret passages and gardens, which seemed to be gaining traction. Of course, most people didn't believe them.

Because in Qiuhongfang Market, except for a few crucial locations, every other corner has been searched countless times. It's not an exaggeration to say they've turned the place upside down. If there were any secret passages or hidden treasures, they would have been discovered long ago.

Moreover, this kind of rumor is not the first time it has circulated, nor is it only circulating when Qiu Hongfang market appeared. Almost every time a similar situation occurs, some ill-intentioned people spread all kinds of rumors, trying to muddy the waters.

Upon receiving the news, Youyouzi, always seizing every opportunity, made a trip himself. By chance, he saw the jade pendant and confirmed that the news was likely true.

Since the one who left behind the jade pendant has died, Yun Youzi doesn't know the specific location of the secret passage and can only find another way.

After a thorough investigation, Yun Youzi suspected that the person's death was inextricably linked to his companion who had entered Qiuhongfang City thirty years ago. In the end, his gaze focused on three people in particular.

These three people will also enter during this low point of the large formation. They are currently gathering troops and practicing formations.

First, they need to infiltrate the group of these three people before the guardian formation reaches its low point. They should observe their actions secretly and determine who the murderer is.

So, besides Qin Sang and Yun Youzi, there was one other person traveling with them.

Three people need to act separately.

After determining the target, seek opportunities to make contact. Thinking this over, Qin Sang put away his jade pendant. In ten days, he and Yun Youzi would meet as agreed. He set off for Qiuhongfang Market, intending to find a way to join one of the teams there.

Qin Sang tidied himself up. After the Ebony Sword devoured the Black Flame Camphor, its power increased by another point. The Ten Directions Yama Banner and the Jade Ruyi Talisman were his trump cards, and in addition, he had recovered most of the Nine Dragon Heavenly Carriage Talisman. With these treasures, as long as he was cautious, Qin Sang wasn't worried about his safety.

However, some of them are underhanded. After using them, you have to be prepared to kill and silence anyone who finds out.

It is best to keep a low profile before that.

After a moment's thought, Qin Sang walked out of the cave and closed the restriction before heading straight to Xuanlu Pass. He spent some spirit stones replenishing several magical artifacts and making all-round preparations.

Ten days later.

The Cloud Traveler arrived as promised.

"Qin, little brother, there's a message coming from over there..."

The Cloud Wanderer came in a hurry, “The grand assembly of the Autumn Heron Pavilion Market this time will appear later than usual, possibly delayed by one to two years. By then, more people might enter the Autumn Heron Pavilion Market. However, with more time, it will be easier to gain their trust. For us, it might not be a bad thing. But Qin younger brother must be cautious in his actions. Even after confirming this person’s identity, don't startle them before I and Taoist Ge arrive.”

The cloud traveler was still somewhat uneasy about Qin Sang, and gave him a thousand admonitions.

Ge Yuan was the third person who teamed up with them, Qin Sang had never met him before.

This person is currently lurking in Xiwang Town, the town closest to Qiuhongfang Market, keeping tabs on the changes in the situation.

Qin Sang also knew that this matter was of great importance. Mixing into the other side's team and acting rashly was not a wise move, and he was very likely to be surrounded.

"Rest assured, seniors. I know what's at stake and will be careful."

The Cloud Wanderer let out an 'Mmm' and said, "Qin younger brother understands. By the way, are you sure about what identity you want to use for your disguise"

"Okay."

Qin Sang nodded, "From now on, call me Daoist Qingfeng."of the demon fire, his eyes flickering."What method did this person use to withstand the power of the demonic fire and travel back and forth If I could get my hands on it... there's demonic fire block...
