fellows still have the face to talk about cool breezes If it weren't for your Wu clan harboring malicious intentions, we wouldn't be in this situation. Compared to life and death, Pingbo Port is noth...Qin Sang's divine sense probed into the jade slip, and half of the secret manual appeared in his mind.

It is indeed the use of poison to refine the body, but the secret manual has no name. Qing Dantan Jun claims to have gotten it by chance and that it is not a true transmission from Mount Loushu, otherwise, he would not give it to outsiders.

At first glance, the first half is quite peculiar. However, whether it is as mysterious as Qing Dan Yuanjun said remains to be seen until we see the complete manual.

Qin Sang put away the jade slip and observed the palace ahead.

The palace hovered in the poisonous mist, seeming to sway like the swirling clouds themselves.

>

Qin Sang speculated that there must be some kind of connection and rule between the mist and the palace, and the mist might revolve around the palace.

Before Qing Deng Yuanjun followed the cloud mist for a long time, she should have been using it to find the palace.

Are there also flower fields and eerie spirit flowers within the palace

Qin Sang flashed this thought, his heart became more vigilant.

Being outside the palace, you can't see much at all. All the palaces are sealed off by a dense miasma, even thicker than any fog.

Moreover, there must be powerful defensive formations within the palace, fused with poisonous mist, isolating it from outside perception and scrutiny.

What they could see were palace roofs and finely carved ridge beasts.

Mammals such as wolves, tigers, leopards, and dragons and phoenixes are abundant, numerous, indistinguishable from the palaces of the mortal world. It is impossible to determine the origins of the palace based on these alone.

In the complex of Mount Putuo, besides the outermost Golden Hall, man-made halls and towers are actually quite rare.

In the deepest part of the imperial court, even if there are palaces and pavilions, they are but illusions conjured by the divine powers of ancient immortals.

Here, something seems different; at least Qin Sang and Tianmu Die haven't spotted any flaws.

Here is the translation of your text, keeping HTML tags intact:

It can be seen that the palace grounds are vast, but there aren't many halls. There are less than a hundred of them, big and small.

Extending from the central courtyard to the rear are several palaces, judging by their size, the largest one should be the main hall.

"We shall enter from the courtyard," Qingdan Yuanjun looked at the main hall, and said in a deep voice.

Qin Sang finally couldn't help but ask: "Fellow Daoists, shouldn't you tell me what you seek"

Qing Dan Yuanjun hesitated for a moment. Since he had arrived here, there was no need to conceal anything further. He nodded and said: "I am looking for a spiritual tree. This tree is of great importance to my Lou Gu Shan. I once saw the phantom of that spiritual tree flash in the palace, confirming that the tree exists within the palace..."

"Speaking, she pointed towards those several main halls, "This tree should be near those palaces. As long as a real person helps me find this tree, this poor cultivator will not only present the secret manual with both hands, but also allow the two of you to choose treasures from the palace first."

Qin Sang smiled faintly, not yet entering the palace. It was too early to talk about treasures when he didn't even know if there were any inside.

But to everyone's surprise, Qīng Dàn Yuánjūn paused for a moment and said with a meaningful tone, "This secret manual is what I obtained within the palace."

Qin Sang's expression moved slightly upon hearing this.

So the secret recipe was from here all along, Qing Dan Yuanjun truly knows how to use a flower to offer Buddha. Since there is a secret recipe, there's a possibility that other treasures exist too.

Hearing the tone of Lady Dan yuan, she had only explored the periphery of the palace before. Logically, the treasures in the core palace should be of a higher tier.

It has to be admitted, Qin Sang's interest was piqued as well.

At this time, a group of mist drifted in from afar.

As the trio waited, mist drifted past, and figures flashed as they arrived at the entrance to the palace courtyard.

The entrance should have had a gate, but whether it was dismantled by the aloof Lord Yuán or had always been this way, it remains unknown. The empty doorway exposes the interior without any obstruction.

A garden!

This is a test.

Flowers are in full bloom, with peach blossoms and willows green.

The moment Qin Sang saw the garden, his heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively stopped in his tracks.

Seeing Qin Sang's actions, Bo Xianren smiled, "When I first arrived, I was also like the real person, almost scared away. Don't worry, this garden is different from the flower field in Tuanwu. They are just ordinary flowers and there are no flower spirits. However, after entering the palace, there is one thing to pay attention to. The palace is different from the outside world. The poisonous mist here will quietly attack us, gradually accumulating toxins. Don't underestimate it."

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

Qin Sang pondered, "The inner and outer miasma seem no different. Could it be that the miasma outside isn't truly harmless but simply hasn't accumulated enough"

If that's really the case, Qin Sang also needs to be wary because even the Poison-Repelling Armor isn't reacting.

Maybe...

Berxian's mountain man was speechless, following Qingdan Yuanjun into the central courtyard. Qin Sang followed at a leisurely pace.

The garden is very large and square.

Uncared for, these flowers thrived exceedingly well, and they were not spirit flowers. It seemed the garden owner chose them solely for their appearance.

Qīngdàn Yuánjūn, after returning to their old stomping grounds, moved with familiarity and speed.

Qin Sang rode through the palace, observing its surroundings. He didn't detect any danger.

At the end of the garden is a gate, according to Qing Dan Yuanjun, the central courtyard should be directly connected to the main hall, through gates that are linked together.

The arch opened, revealing a path forward, but it was not as straightforward as it seemed.

She divided the palace into nine sections, having previously reached the seventh section. She stopped there.

“The strange poison that the disciple has contracted comes from the main hall” Qin Sang hadn’t sensed any aura similar to that power along the way.

Qing Dan Yuanjun and the people of Bohui Mountain all frowned.

"They did indeed contract the strange poison while escaping from the palace, but whether the poison originated within the palace, we cannot be certain to this day," Bo Xian's mountain dweller hesitated.

"What do you mean by that" Qin Sang asked, puzzled.

“When the tremor came, Poor Dao and Qingdan Daoist Friend were helping our disciples stabilize the formation. Suddenly, a strange poison appeared around us, as if seeping out of the void...”

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

Boh Xian's mountain man briefly recounted what had happened.

Qin Sang frowned in thought.

As they spoke, they had already entered the second courtyard of the palace, and the sound of footsteps echoed continuously behind them.

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

Their enemies lay in wait by the garden, statuesque beasts of stone seemingly guarding a spirit flower. As they entered the palace, the stone beasts were stirred to frenzy and attacked with wild abandon.

Qin Sang did not make a move. With Boh Xian Shan Ren and Qing Dan Yuan Jun still able to cope, Qin Sang conserved his strength.

Like a rolling stone, the three of them passed through six archways in succession and entered the seventh courtyard, which was also where they had stopped last time.

The seventh step is quite different from the preceding six steps.

There is no garden here. Two stone walls flank a wide passage, yet it gives one a strange sense of oppression.

A straight passage led to a next archway, in front of which stood two grotesque and ferocious stone beasts, and the archway was blocked by a gate of light.

The light gate shimmered with a green glow under the poisonous fog, appearing as a flimsy barrier.

The moment they stepped into the corridor, a 'crunching' sound came from ahead. The stone beast twisted its neck and glared at them with its lifeless eyes.

A sense of oppression emanated from the stone beasts, Qin Sang's expression solemnized, knowing that the strength of these two stone beasts was incomparable to those before.

"To break open this door, one must rely on a true person," the transmission from the real person Bo Xian explained the pre-determined strategy.

Qin Sang pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Qing Dan Yuanjun and Bo Xian Zhenren's faces lit up with joy, they looked at each other and walked towards the two stone beasts respectively.

Qin Sang fell to the rear, gazing at the light curtain, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Halfway through the journey, Qin Sang's eyes flickered. His figure paused momentarily, almost imperceptibly, but his expression remained unchanged as he continued walking forward.

At this moment, within the dantian, Tianmu Die's gaze fell upon the right wall.

The walls on both sides of the passage were built of red brick, of course, but they weren't ordinary walls.

When Qingdan Yuangu first arrived, she attempted to bypass the stone beasts at the front, but found no other path. She tried climbing over and breaking down the wall, but inadvertently caused both stone beasts to go berserk. They attracted all the stone beasts inside the palace, almost leading to her demise.

She especially told Qin Sang to, when fighting the Stone Beast, remember to restrain his fluctuations and stay away from the walls.

At this moment, the Tianmu Butterfly discovered something strange. There seemed to be a secret door on the wall!

Qin Sang secretly circulated his secret arts, helping the Heavenly-Eyed Butterfly to fully activate its divine abilities. This was beyond doubt.

> Where does the secret door lead to

Even Qingdan Yuanjun was unaware of what lay beyond the wall.

Qin Sang remained composed, scanning the backs of the two real people without a sound, then focused his attention on the light gate.

As they drew closer, the stone beast gradually came back to life, charging forward with a menacing roar.

Qing Dan Yuanjun seemed not to have heard, her footsteps never stopping. At the same time, with a wave of her jade hand, there was the sound of water echoing within the passage.

A ripple of water spread through the void, Qingdan Yuanjun's true form submerged within it, rapidly approaching the stone beast along with the waves.

"Roar!"

The intruder touched the stone beast's bottom line.

The stone beast roared, without hesitation, brought up a gust of wind and charged towards the intruder, splashing huge waves, and like the calm Yuanjun, it disappeared.

On the other side, the stone beast was also engaged in a fierce battle with the inhabitants of Mount Berxian.

The stone beast seemed to have been soaked in poison for countless years, even its simple attacks carried deadly toxins. Bo Xian Zhenren was enveloped in a thick layer of warm jade radiance, but he didn't dare let the stone beast get close.

If one does not know the way to dispel poison, they will only be weighed down by worries and find it difficult to perform effectively.

Seeing that the two stone beasts had already been entangled, Qin Sang didn't hesitate at all. His figure flashed and he quickly dashed to the light gate.

Qin Sang remembered the instructions given to him by the two real people before, and directly pressed both hands against the light gate.

The next moment, Qin Sang's finger was stained black and green, as if a劇毒 were seeping into his body.

>

In fact, it was Qin Sang who actively absorbed the劇毒 into his body.

The Light Gate is a poison ban. Qing Deng Yuanjun tried many times, and the only way he thought to break the ban was to actively absorb the劇毒, weakening the power of the poison ban.

One person is not enough; they would succumb to the poison before they could break through the gate of light. It requires others to share the burden.

That is precisely why they value Qin Sang, who possesses the detoxification secret arts, so highly.

Upon entering the body, the toxin was immediately suppressed by the power of the poison pearls within. The source of toxicity from the light gate was continuously absorbed by Qin Sang, and the radiance soon dimmed slightly.

Qīng dàn Yuánjūn and Bó xián Shānrén were fully engaged in fighting the Shí shòu, their hearts tense as they kept glancing at Qín Sāng.

As expected, in a short time, Qin Sang absorbed a large amount of highly poisonous substances and remained as usual, not reaching the limit.

The two of them were overjoyed when they saw this.

And just as Qin Sang was constantly absorbing the劇毒, the stone beast suddenly let out a deafening roar.

Suddenly, a great earthquake shook the ground.

A tremor came from behind, and all the stone beasts in the palace were awakened by the roar.

"Hurry!" shouted the people of Berkeley Mountain.

Behind them, a myriad of beasts surged forward, leaving them with very little time.

Qin Sang's eyes sank, instantly absorbing a large amount of劇毒. His hands turned a deep green, and his fingernails almost turned black.

Then, he took a step back and withdrew his hand.

Qin Sang retreated, forcibly suppressing the violent poison in his body. He didn't have time to catch his breath and quickly darted to the right. At the same time, Bo Xian Shan also rushed over, switching positions with Qin Sang.

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

"Whoosh!"

The grey sparrow sword shot out with lightning speed, transforming mid-flight into the "Seven Star Sword Formation". It enveloped the charging stone beast without missing a beat.

Qin Sang glanced outside the passage, suppressing the fierce poison while dodging the stone beast's attacks.

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

The stone beast rampaged through the starry sky transformed by the sword formation, but it couldn't break out of the star sea.

Having received the swordsmanship inheritance and the meticulous guidance of Master Zhijian, Qin Sang's understanding of sword formations has reached a new level. He had already mastered it a year ago!

The stone beasts are impossible to kill completely, only to be contained, so this is not the full power of the sword formation yet.

Bo Xian's Zhenjun didn't last as long as Qin Sang, withdrawing and switching to Qing Dan Yuanjun.

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

In this way, the three people took turns for three rounds.

>

At this time, countless stone beasts had already surged into the passage.

The three of them, as if by unspoken agreement, suddenly charged toward the light gate. Qin Sang threw a punch, Qing Dan Yuanjun brandished a jade green staff, and Bo Xian Shanren used his divine talisman to conjure a sharp cone.

'Boom!'

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

Three attacks fell simultaneously on the light gate.

The light gate shattered in a deafening roar, and the earth crumbled.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Three people walked straight through the light gate, and what they saw was a huge schoolyard.

The schoolyard was unusually spacious, and you could see the archway on the opposite side of the yard at a glance.

This is a translation of your content:***Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

To everyone's surprise, the last arch opened wide, with no stone beasts guarding it.

Qing Dan Yuanjun was both surprised and delighted. She had already prepared for the best outcome of returning empty-handed, preparing to first investigate the last archway's formation ban, and make preparations before taking action again.

Unexpectedly, they seemed to be able to enter the main hall directly!

'...Boom boom boom...'

The stone beasts surged into the schoolyard after them, their eyes bloodshot, madly charging in, vowing not to rest until they tore the intruders to shreds.

The three of them no longer hesitated, and rushed straight to the last archway. They passed through it with surprising ease.

>

At the same time, the noise around me vanished.

They were astonished to see that the crazed stone beasts all stopped before the archway. The stone beasts, packed together like a swarm of locusts, filled the courtyard with their incessant roars, yet none dared to cross the threshold. It was as if an invisible barrier held them back.

>

The three of them looked at each other, then ignored the stone beast, their gazes drawn to a spirit tree in the courtyard.

The ling tree is small, only about a person's height, and seems not to have grown up yet. It bears no fruit, but its leaves are curled into ball shapes, like green lanterns hanging all over, quite unique.

"That's it!"

Qingtan Yuanguan's eyes flashed with surprise. Taking a deep breath, he took a step towards the spirit tree, then remembered something and took out another jade slip, handing it to Qin Sang.

According to the agreement, Ling Shu belongs to Qing Dan Yuanjun.

The actions of the stone beasts made them dare not be careless. After confirming that there was nothing unusual around the Spirit Tree, Qing Dan Yuanjun cautiously approached.

Bor-xian Shanren looked at Qin Sang, "Qingfeng Daoist friend, those two main halls behind us, you and I enter one each, how about that"

To the rear, two ancient and solemn palaces stand in the center, holding the most esteemed position.

Okay!

Qin Sang nodded.

Each of them set up a spirit formation at the entrance as a precaution.

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

The two main halls looked identical, so the two of them chose one at random and walked up to its front door.

The prohibition on the palace gates isn't a poison trap.

Qin Sang observed for a moment, secretly nodded, and gave him some time. Breaking the seal was not difficult.

True essence surged, and streaks of incantations flew out of his hands, disappearing into the palace gate. Waves of colorful, strange lights burst forth incessantly.

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

As the restrictions were lifted one by one.

Qin Sang's gaze suddenly focused, discovering fine ripples surging out from the palace gate, as if the gate itself was twisting.

"This is..."

Qin Sang frowned, after a moment, his expression changed drastically, he turned around and shouted fiercely, "Stop!"

At this moment, Qingdan Yuanjun sat cross-legged before the spirit tree, her hands seemingly empty as intangible power enveloped the tree, pulling it up root by root.

In an instant, the entire palace, along with the void itself, rippled like a broken reflection in water! (End of Chapter)
