Chapter 1445: Floating Sand Escape Technique

The Human World

After some deliberation, Qin Sang decided to give it a try. "I possess an incomplete secret art, and its cultivation is extremely difficult."

As he spoke, Qin Sang quickly took out a blank jade slip and inscribed the first layer of the "Fire Seed Golden Lotus" into it.

“Alas, it has come to this—resorting to selling secret arts to make a living.”

Qin Sang shook his head. He wouldn't share such a top-tier secret art with others unless absolutely necessary, to avoid cultivating a rival.

However, if he could acquire the "Seven Master Buddha Seal," it would be worth it.

He didn't deliberately hide its flaws, as the other party would easily discern them.

Qin Sang raised his palm, and the jade slip floated forward, passing through a layer of restriction he had personally set up. It then hovered in mid-air alongside the Nether Thorn.

However, Qin Sang did not release his spiritual sense. He added, "I don't need cultivation techniques. If you are interested, fellow Daoist, I hope to exchange it for an earth-elemental escape technique."

The other party understood, chuckled, and said indifferently, "An incomplete secret art, and one that's extremely difficult to cultivate? I only worry that my own aptitude is too dull to grasp its essence!"

As he spoke, that person extended a wisp of spiritual sense to investigate.

Qin Sang concealed the core content and allowed only that person to view it.

A moment later.

That person suddenly let out a soft exclamation, piquing the curiosity of others.

After a brief hesitation, that person spoke in a solemn voice, "Fellow Daoist, this secret art of yours is indeed extraordinary, but its flaws are also unimaginably significant! When you acquired this secret art, I wonder if there were any other accompanying items?"

The other party actually guessed that this secret art was too dangerous and might require supplementary cultivation techniques or items.

He didn't refuse directly. Could it be that he had also subdued a type of spirit flame, or was confident in avoiding the dangers?

Qin Sang's mind raced. He pulled out the excuse he had long prepared. "This method is a treasured possession of my sect. If such an item existed, why would I dedicate my efforts to another path? After all, compared to this flaw, the second condition always offers some hope of being met."

The second condition referred to spirit flames; as long as one was willing to invest time, they could gradually collect various spirit flames to condense the Fire Lotus Seeds.

'Another path' referred to body cultivation.

According to the common understanding of most Nascent Soul cultivators, when encountering a bottleneck in cultivation, some might try to cultivate the physical body and spiritual sense to seek an opportunity.

But even a prodigy with a Heavenly Spirit Root cannot simultaneously cultivate all three aspects: essence, qi, and spirit.

Qin Sang made it clear that he was determined to obtain the "Seven Master Buddha Seal," indicating his profound achievements in body cultivation. It must be that the path of spiritual sense was blocked for him; otherwise, why would he possess a top-tier spiritual sense secret art and not cultivate it?

This was entirely reasonable.

Who could have imagined that Qin Sang, relying on the jade Buddha, had cultivated several techniques and secret arts that others deemed utterly impossible to master, thus embarking on a unique path!

After a long silence.

The other party deliberated for a long time before finally speaking, simultaneously taking out a jade slip. "I have a 'Floating Sand Escape Technique,' but it's not considered top-tier, and I'm afraid it won't meet that fellow Daoist's requirements."

This person is not simple; they really want to buy the "Fire Seed Golden Lotus"!

Qin Sang's thoughts raced. After obtaining permission from the other party and Venerable Chongtai, he invited the owner of the "Seven Master Buddha Seal" to join the transaction.

The owner of the "Seven Master Buddha Seal," after examining the "Floating Sand Escape Technique," hesitated for a moment and asked Qin Sang, "Fellow Daoist, are you a body cultivator?"

Qin Sang chuckled, answering evasively, "Fellow Daoist, don't be too greedy."

The owner of the "Seven Master Buddha Seal" fell silent for a moment, then decided, "The 'Floating Sand Escape Technique' plus the Nether Thorn for the 'Seven Master Buddha Seal'!"

Qin Sang frowned.

His actions had both pros and cons: they dispelled the doubts of one person but emboldened the owner of the "Seven Master Buddha Seal" to make an exorbitant demand.

“These old fellows are all as shrewd as ghosts; it’s impossible to find a bargain here.”

Having realized this, Qin Sang set aside his dilemma and glanced at the clusters of white light around him. "Add two more drops of Heavenly Crown Heavy Liquid!"

“One drop!”

“Deal!”

Qin Sang breathed a sigh of relief. Regardless of how the owner of the "Seven Master Buddha Seal" would acquire the Heavenly Crown Heavy Liquid, he turned to haggle with the other person.

Before Qin Sang could speak, the other party said, "Heh heh, fellow Daoist, even if this secret art of yours is incomplete, its value certainly surpasses the 'Floating Sand Escape Technique.' What else do you desire?"

This person was quite straightforward.

Qin Sang softened his tone, saying, "Fellow Daoist, please help me exchange for that piece of Blue-Spotted Gold, or perhaps the Fluffy Cloud Crystal."

The others watched in silence. They guessed Qin Sang was preparing to forge a magic treasure, but even though the three spirit materials had similar properties, they couldn't be mixed in such a way. This truly puzzled them.

After a dazzling series of exchanges.

The jade slip and the Nether Thorn in front of Qin Sang's bamboo pavilion disappeared.

In his hand, he now held three items.

A jade slip.

A fist-sized piece of Blue-Spotted Gold, entirely black with blue spots.

And a jade bottle containing a drop of silvery liquid, which felt even heavier than the Blue-Spotted Gold when held.

He extended his spiritual sense into the jade slip, quickly scanned its contents, confirmed the divine ability was correct, and put it away for now without examining it in detail.

Up to this point in the trade fair, Qin Sang's transaction was the most complex, involving six Nascent Soul cultivators in total, as the owner of the "Floating Sand Escape Technique" had made an additional exchange when acquiring the Blue-Spotted Gold.

All parties were very satisfied with this transaction.

Even more satisfied was Venerable Chongtai, who smiled and said, "Next fellow Daoist, please!"

Next, three bamboo pavilions withdrew.

Qin Sang glanced at his jade token, muttering inwardly that he hadn't arrived late, so why hadn't it been his turn yet?

A voice from outside drifted in: "Locking Void Sword, for a top-grade magic treasure!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Sang quickly looked up and outward.

Even at the Myriad Devil Assembly, top-grade magic treasures did not appear frequently.

Inside the white light, a finger-sized jade sword hovered.

The jade sword was entirely white with no patterns on it.

The moment he saw the jade sword, Qin Sang found it extremely familiar; it was precisely the small jade sword from the skeleton in the Buddhist hall!

“Is it Old Man Hunmo or Yu Yi Yuanjun?”

Qin Sang's gaze sharpened slightly, as if trying to pierce through the darkness to see the person inside the bamboo pavilion.

He had already found out that the person who entered the Buddhist hall with Old Man Hunmo was a female devil named Yu Yi Yuanjun. Any remaining magic treasures in the Buddhist hall must have fallen into the hands of these two.

It's actually a top-grade magic treasure!

If he had known earlier, he would have seized the jade sword himself, and wouldn't have bothered with forging the Golden Sinking Sword.

Qin Sang thought to himself, then suddenly heard someone question, "This is clearly a high-grade magic treasure; why are you asking for a top-grade one in return?"

Upon hearing the query, a flat, faint chuckle came from inside the bamboo pavilion. "If I dare to make such a request, there's naturally a reason. This sword is not merely a high-grade magic treasure; it also contains an unknown secret that I'm currently unable to decipher. However, if it finds a fated owner, I believe its value will certainly be no less than that of a top-grade magic treasure, perhaps even surpassing it!"

These words caused an uproar. For someone to demand such a high price for a secret they couldn't even unlock themselves was truly absurd!

Although Qin Sang was curious, he had no intention of extending his spiritual sense to examine it, merely observing with a detached gaze.
