ke translated!Qin Sang glanced at the fat silkworm.When the party reached the Blackwind Valley's hidden temple, Fatty was drawn to the Thousand-Handled Spider Fruit and greedily ate a unripe one. Now,...Qin Sang only learned after asking that the Yuanzhao Sect's sphere of influence was actually very vast. After disciples of the Yuanzhao Sect were eligible to open up their cave abodes, they could freely build them wherever they liked in this immense mountain range, choosing locations with abundant spiritual energy.

Yuànzhào Fēng is the foundation of Yuànzhào Mén's protective formation. The Supreme Headmaster cultivates on the main peak, and important places such as the Hall of the Sect Leader are built around it, so it is called the Inner Gate.

Following behind Senior Brother Zhu for a while, they reached the edge of the protective array. Senior Brother Zhu landed on the ground and pointed to the entrance of the valley shrouded in clouds ahead, saying to Qin Sang: "Junior Brother Qin, this is Xingyun Valley. There's a powerful formation inside, and you need a Xingyun Valley token to enter. I won't escort you any further. Your white cloud artifact is used for generating clouds and rain, nourishing spiritual plants. The pouch contains Nine Spirit Sand and other items, all necessary for cultivating spiritual plants... This is enough for a month, and someone will bring new supplies later."

As he spoke, Zhu Shidi raised his hand and sent a blast of spiritual energy into the valley. After a moment, the clouds and mist parted, and a figure emerged from within. He looked even older than Shi Uncle Du but only possessed the cultivation level of the 13th layer of the Qi Refining Stage.

This person pressed down on their escape light, landing before the two of them. They sized Qin Sang up with a glance, their words filled with ambiguous and sly tones, "Brother Zhu, you never come to the Hall of Three Treasures unless there's something important. What a rare sight… This younger brother seems unfamiliar, what is your name"

Qin Sang hastily bowed, "Disciple Qin Sang greets his senior brother."

Zhu Shidi smiled wryly and didn't get angry. He said in a sorrowful tone: "Meng Shidi, this is Qin Sang, the new disciple who just entered the sect. He was assigned to your Xingyun Valley to help out. I personally brought him here, but you treated him like this."

Meng Shixiong's eyes lit up. "Old Du finally let him go Oh, I almost forgot that today is the Ascension Ceremony."

Brother Zhu seemed to be deliberately teasing him, shaking his head and saying: "I heard that Master Du has something to do today and entrusted Uncle Master Yu to arrange the chores. Otherwise, several uncles would be waiting to replenish manpower, and it wouldn't be your turn."

"Meng shidi let out a snort, then suddenly stopped, "Uncle Master Yu Which Uncle Master Yu"

Senior Brother Zhu said lightly, “It’s precisely that Junior Brother Yu Huai. He recently closed his cultivation to lay the foundation and succeeded in breaking through. From now on, you have to call him Uncle Master Yu.”

They looked at each other in silence, suddenly both with downcast faces, appearing listless and dispirited.

After Zhu shidi left, Qin Sang followed Meng shidi into Xingyun Valley.

After a few exchanges, Qin Sang got to know that this senior brother Meng was named Meng Ruhui. He was 88 years old and had long since given up on building his foundation. Thirty years ago, he completely abandoned the idea of cultivating immortals, bade farewell to his sect, and went home.

But both his parents had already passed away, and his hometown was full of strangers. Meng Ru, feeling listless and downcast, returned to the mountains to take over mundane affairs, intending to spend the rest of his life in his teacher's sect.

Over thirty years, his cultivation level had slowly reached the peak of the thirteenth layer of the Qi Refining Period, but it was already impossible to establish a foundation. His master, seeing his diligence, tasked him with managing Yun Valley.

The Rowing Cloud Valley is formed by several valleys joined together. Each valley has many spiritual fields, where countless spiritual trees, bamboo, and valleys are planted, naturally there are also numerous spiritual herbs.

Meng Ruhui led Qin Sang deeper inside. They passed several senior brothers and sisters who were all in a hurry, greeting each other briefly before rushing off to their own tasks.

Seeing this busy scene, Qin Sang couldn't help but feel a sinking in his heart.

At last, the two arrived at the innermost valley. Compared to other places, this valley wasn't particularly large; the slopes on either side were covered in purple bamboo, and in the middle lay a vast expanse of medicinal herb garden.

"Qin, from now on you will be in charge of this spirit herb garden. Every so often, you will need to hand over a certain amount of herbs. The sect will send someone to collect them. This jade slip contains information about the characteristics of each herb and how to care for it. Some herbs are very delicate, Junior Brother, please don't neglect them. Otherwise, if you fail to deliver the herbs, not only will your monthly salary be deducted, but you could even be expelled from the sect. In this valley, you can choose any place to set up a cave..."

Meng Ruhui gave Qin Sang a long explanation before hurrying away. Qin Sang rode the wind to the medicinal garden in the valley, looking at the various spiritual herbs inside. Some were brilliantly colorful, others vibrantly green—all of them unfamiliar to him.

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

When Qin Sang's spiritual sense entered the jade slip and carefully read it, his face turned completely dark.

It turned out that his cloud was called the Five Elements Cloud. After activation, it could infuse the five elements' spiritual energy from heaven and earth into the rainwater and bring it down, nourishing the spirit plants.

Due to the different properties of each elixir, the number of times it rains and the duration of the rainfall, as well as the types and quantities of the five elements' spiritual power absorbed by the rainwater, all require careful control by those who wield artifacts.

If something goes wrong, it won't only hinder its growth but also damage the elixir. In severe cases, it could even cause the elixir to wither and die completely.

Jiuling sand is made from the feces of nine demon bats. Ordinary spiritual plants only need to be sprinkled once every ten days, and no further care is needed in normal times. But medicinal herbs are different. The various requirements are incredibly complex, making Qin Sang increasingly overwhelmed as he reads.

If one strictly follows the Jade Scroll's instructions, he would have to spend more than half of his day tending to the medicine garden, leaving very little time for cultivation.

No wonder Meng Ruhui left so quickly, he didn't even give him a chance to protest.

Qin Sang flew to a high point and observed that deep within the bamboo forest there was a bamboo building. He flew over and discovered that the building was dilapidated, and with every gust of wind, the whole structure began to sway. He simply found a cliff behind the bamboo forest and used his Bibo sword to carve out a simple cave dwelling. Then he sat down in meditation.

Master Yu arranged him in the Xíngyún Valley but never explicitly told him what to do. It was possible that Du Sīyè's sudden appearance had disrupted his plans.

This left Qin Sang's heart uneasy.

Qin Sang had thought about reporting them, but within the Yuanguang Sect, besides Yu Hua, how many undercover agents from the Quiyin Sect were there Could Meng Ruhui be one of them

Except for the two Nascent Soul cultivators and the Sect Master of Yuanzhao Sect, Qin Sang really didn't dare to trust anyone else.

Moreover, seeing how the Yuanzhao Gate used the Ascending Immortal Grand Assembly to assassinate loose cultivators, after reporting it, would I really be able to redeem myself

This is a life-or-death gamble!

If the whistleblower reveals the secret, to prove their truthfulness, the secret of the Jade Buddha will inevitably be exposed as well.

Qin Sang now knows more and more about the Jade Buddha.

The Nascent Soul is the foundation of a cultivator. Not only can the Jade Buddha protect his Nascent Soul from external interference, but it can also help him resist the soul-confusing effects of the Bewitching Mirror.

Qin Sang analyzed that this ability should only work on the primordial spirit, allowing him to ensure his primordial spirit was not misled and remained steadfast in his Dao heart no matter where he was. However, he couldn't see through illusions like the cloud formations outside places like Xingyun Valley or Youshan Market with his own eyes.

Although it is still impossible to determine the limit of the Jade Buddha's power, one can imagine that under its protection, in the future, we will be able to resist artifacts, spells, evil influences, and even formations that harm the soul or confuse our minds.

The Jade Buddha is absolutely a priceless treasure, and under no circumstances should it be leaked.
