Chapter 684: Searching for the Dragon

Sang felt like he was in an ice cave. The place was perpetually shrouded in thick fog, with no sunlight ever reaching the ground. A cold wind whistled from beneath the earth, seeping into his bones....Qin Sang walked out of the cave dwelling and found five people gathered in the hall outside, talking about something.

"Always have one person stay outside to keep watch for any movement from the sea creatures in the trench. The rest of you should not go out unless necessary. You have good eyes, this location is excellent. Even if the trench becomes chaotic, you'll be able to detect it first and escape..."

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

Qin Sang made a detailed deployment, and one flying night demon was left outside under the guise of unsuspecting observation as a lookout.

The elderly couple looked at each other and pondered for a moment before saying, "Master Daoist, we have discussed this matter among ourselves. We believe the unusual phenomenon last night was likely an accident. Even if the legendary Demon Beast King exists, it would only be in the depths of the ocean trench, not in such a remote location. In fact, we had hunted down a peak-stage Fiend Spirit fish demon near here before, and there hasn't been any further activity since."

Qin Sang's voice sank slightly, "Proceed with caution. A ship well-managed lasts for ten thousand years. This is a truth that doesn't need to be taught to you by an old man like me. I paid dearly to hire you all here, in order to find a dragon. I don't want to lose my life over a dragon's essence. Listen to my orders and work diligently for me, wouldn't it be unreasonable to mistreat you Just stay inside the cave and meditate for a month. Make sure nothing happens, then go out again to look for a dragon."

The elderly couple's hearts pounded, and they both said in unison: "We understand, senior."

Qin Sang nodded, just about to turn around and go back, when he suddenly remembered something and turned back to ask, "By the way, who among you has a monster's inner pill"

These five people have been hunting monsters in the Demon Sea for decades, and their strength is not bad. It's not strange that they got monster inner pills.

Qin Sang was prepared to try other monster beast inner pills, to see if the fat silkworm was only interested in poison pills, or if it could also be interested in other types of monster beast inner pills.

"Monster beast inner elixir"

Five people looked at each other, the man in gray flashed his eyes and hesitated.

Qin Sang saw their worried expressions and said coldly, "You take the monster core back to have it refined into a Sha Yao Dan, which would cost you a large sum of spirit stones to hire a skilled alchemist. I can directly exchange them for you with a top-grade magic weapon or Sha Yao Dan. I don't have Sha Yao Dan on hand right now, but I can promise you this. As long as the monster core in your possession is what I want, I will exchange it for a high-quality Sha Yao Dan at the Chamber of Commerce immediately after you return."

As he spoke, Qin Sang waved his hand, and two artifacts appeared in his palm.

A bone sword, surprisingly as hard as steel and iron, radiated a cold, ghostly light.

There was also a bone spear, its tip thin and long. At a glance, one could tell it was extremely sharp.

These are all magical artifacts he refined while studying the art of refining, in order to prove his own ideas. Each one possesses immense power.

In comparison, those he gave to the Qiong Yu Chamber of Commerce were much more mediocre.

However, just like between foundation-building cultivators and core formation cultivators, there is an insurmountable chasm between magic implements and treasures. Qin Sang was confident that in the refinement of magic implements, few blacksmiths could surpass him, but he still did not dare to open the furnace to refine treasures.

The five connoisseurs, upon seeing the two weapons, all had expressions of infatuation on their faces.

While the inner alchemy is certainly precious, this kind of artifact is even more rare and valuable. To obtain just one, their strength could skyrocket by 30%. How could they not be tempted

"I've heard it said that Daozhang's skill in refining artifacts is unrivaled even on Mount Dōyán. Today, this junior finally opens his eyes..."

The old man sighed repeatedly in admiration.

The gray-clad man stared intently at the bone sword, and suddenly took a step forward. He retrieved a jade bottle from his pouch, "Senior, please take a look at this elixir pill. Would you be willing to exchange it for that bone sword"

Qin Sang took the jade bottle and saw that inside was a water-blue inner pill, containing a powerful water element force. This was the most common type of inner pill in the Demon Sea.

“Wait a moment...”

Qin Sang turned and returned to the cave, offering the demonic pill to the fat silkworm. However, the fat silkworm showed no interest in it, only clinging tightly to the blue Jiao's inner pill.

As expected, its talent and poison are connected; only the poison pill will do.

Qin Sang returned the inner alchemy to the man in gray and stated that he only needed the poison pill.

The man in grey revealed a deep disappointment on his face, but dared not say much, silently putting away his inner elixir. The others had no poison pills either, so Qin Sang could only temporarily give up.

After that, everyone went into seclusion on the island.

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

He has been paying attention to the changes in the fat silkworm for a while. A whole month has passed, and the inner elixir has only shrunk by a circle, but the fat silkworm's cultivation has significantly improved.

Qin Sang estimated that it would take the fat silkworm at least several years to absorb this inner elixir. After that, it should be able to transition to the middle stage of the second transformation.

This is much faster than his cultivation speed back then.

Fortunately, everything has been normal in the trench for a month now, with no signs of disturbance.

Qin Sang, seeing the situation, immediately divided his troops into three groups and stealthily entered the sea trench to search for the dragon.

He and the man in gray were in one group, the old couple and the Wang sisters on the flanks, maintaining a distance that allowed them to support each other quickly, and they searched extensively in the trench.

The requirements for the Kowloon Sky Carriage Talisman are too strict. Even though elderly couples and others have been active here for many years, it is not easy to find a suitable dragon spirit.

It took over three months of searching in the trenches before finally hunting down a Red Jiao!

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

During this period, they also encountered dangers, but Qin Sang successfully defused them. The old couple and others became increasingly convinced by him and understood that Qin Sang was not a vicious demon. Without worry, they devoted themselves wholeheartedly to working for him.

Of course, this is also inseparable from the relationship with their bulging pouches at their waists.

Along the way of searching for the Dragon, Qin Sang would also take action when encountering monsters that could be hunted. He only took the most valuable parts, and everything else he didn't find worthwhile was left for the old couple and others to share.

Qin Sang ate meat, they drank soup.

Upon the boundless sea.

Two figures flew silently, only landing to rest for a moment when they encountered reefs or islands. Then they would continue their journey. The two men kept a short distance apart, alert to their surroundings. They were Qin Sang and the gray-robed man.

It has been a month since the last hunt for the Red Dragon, and they have begun their long journey to find it again.

As they were speeding across the sea, Qin Sang suddenly noticed a sound transmission talisman flying in from afar. The grey-shirted man caught it and immediately stopped.

The gray-shirted man looked over the sound transmission note and immediately flew over, saying: “Senior, the Wang sisters just sent a message that they found traces of a dragon activity on an island. The traces are very new, and it seems that this group of dragons is quite numerous.”

"Let's go and check it out!"

Qin Sang's spirits lifted. Wandering around aimlessly searching for a dragon was truly too tedious.

The magnificent spectacle of the demonic sea has become commonplace.

An hour later, Qin Sang and the man in grey landed on an island. The Wang sisters had been waiting on the island all along and immediately came to greet them.

"Elders, please look, these are all traces of the Jiaolong, they seem to have been left only a few days ago. Those Jiaolong seem to be migrating, we also found some traces on the previous few islands," the Wang sisters reported. and found that this fire flow was not the true body of the Ancestor Saint Fire, but just some of its scattered power, evolving into an appearance.The formation sealing the ancestral sacred fire wasn'...
