After Qin Sang asked Wen Shishu about how to refine the Zhuji Pill, he did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he took out two medium-grade spirit stones and offered them with both hands to Wen Shishu.

Elder Wen glanced at Qin Sang, his face impassive. He said calmly, "What do you mean by this, Nephew Qin"

“As the saying goes, one shouldn’t spread knowledge lightly. Qin Sang benefited greatly from Master Wen's guidance and is deeply grateful. He doesn't know how to repay Master Wen's kindness. Thinking about himself, he can only offer these mundane things. Please don't find them objectionable, Master Wen.” Qin Sang said earnestly.

In fact, he was in excruciating pain. He only had eight medium-grade spirit stones left, and one had been partially consumed when he killed Sun De.

Although Master Ye spoke nicely when he asked to buy the Qi Refining Pill, Qin Sang could still keenly feel a sudden chill in his eyes.

Here's the translation, keeping the HTML tags as is:

With the Foundation Establishment Pill in hand, if Yan Luo Banner is fine, Qin Sang just needs to cultivate peacefully, ignoring everyone else. He can be like a carefree cloud crane, waiting for himself to break through the Foundation Establishment Stage, so everyone will be on an equal footing. Who's afraid of who then

Now, that's not possible. He has to find more help for himself.

Of course, the reason he presented Spirit Stones to Uncle Wen wasn't solely because of Master Ye.

Making friends with a cultivator at the Qi Refining stage had been Qin Sang's long-held idea, but now that he had lost the Soul Pill as his backing, it was even more urgent than before.

The mysterious orchid was still lying in his pouch, and to this day, no one knew what kind of elixir it could be used to refine, what kind of pills it could produce, or what its effects might be.

Qin Sang originally planned to investigate slowly after breaking through the Foundation Establishment period. Now it seems that there may not be so much time. If he can't break through the Foundation Establishment period, Qin Sang plans to offer the orchid in exchange for a better future.

It's useless even if the mysterious orchid is extraordinary, you can't break through the Foundation Establishment period.

Unless it was a celestial elixir capable of allowing one to ascend directly into the heavens, even if this mysterious orchid could help a Jindan stage cultivator break through to the Yuanying stage, it would be nothing more than a pipe dream, holding no significance for him.

There is a fact he was unwilling to admit: without the support of the Soul Pill, how likely was he to break through the Core Formation stage How far could he go in the future Qin Sang didn't even dare to think deeply, fearing he would be consumed by despair.

Of course, one has to sell it for a good price. If something can be obtained with just one petal, it would be too much of a loss to give away the entire herb.

It is said that the second floor of Taosha Peak houses many ancient scriptures from the Xianxia world, including ancient alchemical formulas, prehistoric classics and so on. Qin Sang was preparing to mend his relationship with Wen Shishu, waiting for the right time to enter Taosha Peak using his waist card to view the materials.

Qin Sang fawned on Uncle Wen, on the one hand, he was most familiar with the foundation-building stage cultivator only Uncle Wen, on the other hand, when he first entered the sect, from this Uncle Wen's words and deeds, it could be seen that this person was not a heartless person, should not take advantage of him and then turn his face.

I'm afraid two medium-grade spirit stones won't be enough to satisfy him. I don't know if my current assets are enough for this.

Qin Sang raised his hand, his mind racing. Then he felt a lightness in his palm, and couldn't help but secretly let out a sigh of relief.

Elder Wen nodded, very satisfied with Qin Sang's respectful attitude. He put the two medium-grade spirit stones into his pouch and said, "Qin Shizi, do you have any other questions Just ask."

Money can make the devil dance, a proverb that holds true.

Seeing these two spirit stones take effect so quickly, Qin Sang couldn't help but sigh in admiration. He seized the opportunity and asked, "Disciple wants to ask Uncle Wen, is there any technique or secret method that can quickly improve cultivation It doesn't matter if one's strength is weaker than those of the same realm, disciple just wants to improve faster to the thirteenth level of Qi Refinement and break through to the Foundation Establishment period."

"Your nephew Qin's cultivation speed isn't slow, is it too impatient"

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

Wen Shishu's brow furrowed slightly, and he looked at Qin Sang with an unhappy expression. His tone carried a warning, "To my knowledge, there is no such thing as a technique or secret method that can quickly increase cultivation during the Qi Refining stage. Even if there were, it would be the way of demonic cultivators from the Demon Sect. Shao Huashan would never accept such things. Qin Shishu should be patient and practice diligently, don't go astray."

Qin Sang put on an air of eager acceptance, but he was still reluctant to give up. "Master Wen, I heard from a few senior brothers about the legend of Senior Qingzhu. It is said that Senior Qingzhu's talent wasn't among the top ranks, yet she managed to form her golden elixir in only forty years and her cultivation speed surpassed everyone else in the sect. I wonder what kind of technique Senior Qingzhu used. Could this disciple learn it"

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

This is what Qin Sang has learned through much inquiry over this period, but those fellow disciples are unaware. Master Wen should know more about it.

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

"It's no secret, Senior Brother Qingzhu's martial art is actually an incomplete one, that technique..."

At this point, Uncle Wen's voice faltered. Qin Sang noticed a hint of fear in his eyes.

Only to see Master Wen shook his head suddenly and said firmly, "The hidden danger is enormous, it's not something anyone can cultivate. Senior Qingzhu became half crazy and half mad precisely because of cultivating this technique. Moreover, this is a technique that only cultivators in the Foundation Establishment period can cultivate. You..."

As he was speaking, a deafening sword cry suddenly echoed from outside. Master Wen's expression changed drastically, his figure vanishing from its spot in an instant. The next moment, he reappeared outside the wooden hall.

What an amazing speed!

Qin Sang's heart trembled. He hadn't even seen how Master Wen moved just now, only a flash before him and Master Wen appeared outside the door. This was the gap between realms!

"Master Wen, what happened"

Qin Sang swept to Wen Shishu's side, following his gaze towards the depths of Shaohua Mountain. Among the mountains and clouds, one could vaguely see the magnificent outline of Shaohua Mountain. On the summit of Shaohua Mountain, a gigantic white sword qi shot straight into the sky, its momentum earth-shattering. The long, lingering howl of the sword echoed endlessly, shaking the entire sect.

To Qin Sang's even greater surprise, upon hearing the sound of the sword cry, the ebony sword in his dantian actually trembled, as if expressing fear and submission!

Next, swords lights suddenly flared from each peak, resembling meteors racing across the sky towards Mount Shaohua. The scene was awe-inspiring.

“The headmaster summons the sword master, Qin, nephew, please take your leave.”

Uncle Wen left these words, and also turned into a sword light, hastily departing.

There are still many questions I haven't had time to ask.

Qin Sang helplessly mounted the Feitian Shuttle and flew towards the mountain gate, pondering what Master Wen had just said. Senior Qingzhu's technique could only be practiced by cultivators at the Qi Refining Stage, so he wouldn't even think about it for now.

Uncle Wen said that this cultivation method has a big hidden danger, he didn't say which aspect. If it was the Yuanshen, perhaps Jade Buddha could avoid it. When breaking through to the Foundation Establishment period, we might as well take a look.

Ultimately, one must first break through the foundation-building stage to have a future.

Qin Sang let out a soft sigh and, after arriving at the secluded cave, descended with his escape light. He closed the entrance to the dwelling and meditated for a while. Feeling that his cultivation had only increased by a minuscule amount, he couldn't help but feel agitated. He then woke up from his meditation.

He looked up at the pitch-black stone ceiling of the cave for a long time, and then Qin Sang suddenly took out the three Foundation Establishment Pills from his pouch.
