Chapter 856: The Situation is Entangled
room for tea, I shall go summon my master now."Qin Sang had just settled down in the guest room when he heard hurried footsteps. He quickly got up and saw a white-haired old Taoist rushing in. When h...“Someone is willing to offer high-grade spirit stones, and gather help...”
Qin Sang saw the content of the sound transmission note, his face revealing a look of surprise.
Looking back at the time, it was three months ago. Back then, I was still rescuing people with Yue Xian Gu and the others.

The sound transmission note did not specify what the other party was looking for Qin Sang to do, only that if Qin Sang was interested, they should go to the shop to discuss it in detail.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
After so long, I guess the other party has already gathered enough people.
Qin Sang regretted missing the opportunity.
He held the jade talisman, pondering for a moment, before deciding to go to the shop and take a look. It was a rare opportunity, and perhaps the other party hadn't started acting yet.
All other transmission talismans were trivial matters. Qin Sang closed his cave abode and headed to the marketplace. He unfurled his cloak, still acting in Tianxing City with his true form.
The shop was open.
When Qin Sang pushed the door open and walked in, the shopkeeper was somewhat surprised and hurriedly got up to greet him, "Friend Qin, where have you been Why haven't I heard from you for so long"
“After closing the gate once, I found a sound transmission note left by my fellow cultivator when I came out, so I rushed here.”
Qin Sang sat down and said.
He decided to keep the two identities separate, not letting them connect, so he concealed his trip to the Demon Sea.
As his exposure grew, Qin Sang increasingly felt that the Qisha Hall harbored countless secrets, involving too many forces and complex affairs.
Of course, he hoped not to be implicated, but the affairs of the world do not shift according to human will, one can only prepare for the rain before it comes. At that time, if one identity is implicated, they can still use another clean identity to walk and integrate into the world.
The shopkeeper was taken aback, then suddenly realized, "I almost forgot, Qin Daoist was talking about that."
“That fellow who recruited help, is he still here Qin urgently needs high-grade spirit stones. As you know, it’s rare to have such an opportunity.”
Qin Sang leaned forward and asked.
“That can’t be right,” the shopkeeper shook his head, taking a sip of tea. “Friend Qin, that transmission talisman was sent over a few months ago. At the time, the other party found me and asked me to introduce a trustworthy Daoist friend with extraordinary cultivation. I thought of you then. But there was no news from your side, so I had to be honest. After that, we didn’t contact each other again. It just so happened that I met Friend Qin in seclusion, it’s really unfortunate.”
Seeing Qin Sang's disappointment, the shopkeeper thought for a moment and said, "Friend Qin, how about this I can't let you run for nothing. Let me try to contact the other party. You go back to your cave first and wait for my news. At present, there are many demons in the demon sea, making it impossible to enter or exit. This has also made the situation in Heavenly Inner Sea very tense. Many cultivators are afraid of being conscripted and fleeing from Heaven's Prosperous Island. It is not so easy to find a powerful cultivator like you. I remember that the other party's requirements were very high, and it's possible that they haven't gathered enough people yet."
Then many thanks, friend!
Qin Sang got up, bowed his hands in thanks, exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then walked towards the auction house.
After bidding farewell to Qin Sang, the shopkeeper tapped his finger on the counter, pondering for a moment before closing the shop door and hurrying away.
After a short while, the shopkeeper arrived at a courtyard on the outskirts of Tianxing City and knocked on the gate.
"Come in."
A deep voice echoed through the courtyard.
The shopkeeper pushed open the door and saw a man in black robes, who was the one who had sold Qin Sang high-grade spirit stones before. He bowed respectfully and asked, "Brother, have there been any news from Big Brother"
"Not yet."
The Black Robed Man shook his head lightly, "But it should be soon. The Demon Sea is a major concern, and all factions of the human race are unable to stay out of it. All the masters have been dispatched to guard the island in the Demon Sea, which gives us a chance. With Senior Brother's abilities, finding information is just a matter of taking it. It's a pity that Master is also trapped in the Demon Sea and cannot escape. Otherwise, we could just launch a direct attack, there's no need for all this trouble."
"Is Master truly unable to come"
The shopkeeper was startled, "We've been planning this for so long, all those cultivators we bought off... didn't they do anything"
The robed man sighed, "As the saying goes, humans are no match for heaven's calculations. Although Master calculated that the demon clan would be restless and the situation in the Demon Sea would be tense, he didn't expect such a large-scale riot. The demons were simply insane. That witch, a mere woman, is nothing but a figurehead, with all her cultivation but unable to control the demons. She let them attack Tiānwū Island, nearly taking the teleportation array and causing Master to be trapped there as well. With Master gone, we cannot possibly force our way into their sect. Even if we got the treasure, we couldn't suppress the loose cultivators. However, our plan wasn't entirely useless. This is a once-in-a-century opportunity. My elder brother sent a message saying that Master ordered us to do whatever it takes to find the location of that treasure, whether by stealing or robbing, we must get it. My elder brother plans everything meticulously; besides us, no one knows the details of this treasure, so our chances are still great. Additionally, Master will also escape Tiānwū Island as soon as possible. When the time comes, there will always be a need for manpower, so let's keep them around for now…"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The shopkeeper let out a sigh of relief, "That's good. To be able to ease Master's worries, our efforts haven't been in vain."
The robed man glanced at him, "Rest assured, Master won't mistreat those who have made contributions. Master brother, what you did, I saw it all and have reported it truthfully to Master, Master knows everything. By the way, is there something you want today when you came here"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"There's something. Senior Brother, do you still remember the person who bought your top-grade spirit stones It turns out he's been in seclusion all this time. He saw the sound transmission talisman and immediately came to me. This person can definitely be assured that he has nothing to do with those big forces, but I don't know if Senior Brother still needs him…"
The shopkeeper spoke in a low voice.
Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
“Oh, it’s that person!”
The Black Robed Man recalled Qin Sang, "I remember, his cultivation was at the mid-Core Formation stage."
“Yes,” the shopkeeper nodded, “Although he closed his shop, I don't think his cultivation level has increased much. I estimate that he is practicing some kind of Taoist technique. A wandering cultivator who can cultivate to this realm will not be weak in strength.”
The man in black robes hummed and pondered: "If we follow the original plan, whether or not to involve this person is a matter of two sides. But our master cannot come personally, and with just a few of us, it would be difficult to suppress those late-stage Nascent Soul elders. They might take advantage of us and betray us later. Fortunately, we have been wary of these people all along and haven't revealed our true purpose to them, otherwise, things would be very difficult to manage now. Someone like Qin is easier to control. However, the specifics of the plan and how many people are required will have to wait for the eldest brother’s news..."
"What do you mean, senior brother"
“Just bring him in! It’s just some high-grade spirit stones, compared to the treasure that Master seeks, what does it amount to!” The man in black robe slammed his hand on the table.
The shopkeeper's face lit up, "I've managed to calm him down and sent him back to his cave to wait for news. Brother, come visit me in a few days, and I'll call him over."
The hooded man nodded.
At this time, Qin Sang was walking towards the auction house. Seeing that the market was deserted, he began to consider whether he should temporarily leave Tianxing Island and hide for a while.ought of a possibility, and the more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed.Cultivators can stand firm on a certain large island, and there must be an understanding with the nearby shape-shif...
