Chapter Two Hundred and Eight: Spirit Worm Centipede >

e unusually active.Here there truly are treasures!Not seeing any of his fellow disciples from his sect around, Qin Sang looked left and right, then decided to search alone with the Fire Jade Centipede...The further you walked, the narrower the alley became. At the end lay a cramped space that could barely hold a few people. It branched out into dozens of even narrower paths in all directions, intersecting and diverging like a spider web.

This is the deepest part of the entire vein, and also the easiest tunnel to mine for dry yang quartz.

Because the cloud device is unstable, they must mine as much dry yang quartz as possible before the celestial map is destroyed by exhaustion of power, and then leave the Grand Rift Valley.

At the end of the alleyway, Yin Xingge took a look at each branch path, then turned around and said: "I wasted too much time before, the power of the astrolabe was consumed partially, I can't hold on for long, I must complete the mission as soon as possible and leave here. Mu Daoist friends, you three should work together to activate the astrolabe, while I personally lead some fellow cultivators down to mine the dry yang quartz."

Yun qiong san ren bu yi you ta, dang ji tong yi.

Let me break down the translation:* **雲瓊散** (Yun Qiong San): This refers to a specific person or group of people. The exact meaning depends on context. "Cloud Jewel Scatter" could be a name, a clan, or even a metaphorical description.* **人不疑** (Ren bu yi): Means "people do not suspect him/them." It indicates that others don't think there is anything amiss with this person or group.* **有他** (You ta): Means "has something to do with him/them." It suggests that some event or situation might be connected to Yun Qiong San.* **當即同意** (Dang ji tong yi): Means "immediately agree." This indicates a quick and decisive acceptance of something.The entire sentence conveys that people trusted Yun Qiong San and readily agreed to something, despite potential suspicion surrounding the matter.

Qin Sang and Mu Yifeng glanced at each other, then nodded in unison: "It's a bother to you, Daoist Yin."

Here is your translated text:

Mu Yifeng has made the arrangements.

The nearest town to the Grand Rift is Yuankong Town, built within the Yuankong Secret Realm. There is a Shaohua Mountain outpost inside, and it's likely that the masters from the sect there have already received the news.

That is why Qin Sang and Mu Yifeng would not choose to clash with Yin Xingge at this time. Instead, they put on an attitude of complete obedience to avoid alarming the snake.

After leaving the Rift Valley, even if their fellow disciples couldn't arrive in time, they just needed to find an excuse to lead Yin Xingge around Yuan Kong Town, and they could effortlessly capture him. This required two people to cooperate seamlessly and not arouse Yin Xingge's suspicion. Qin Sang and Mu Yifeng had discussed it several times and had already set their strategy.

If Yin Xingge really dared to swallow the Dry Yang Crystal alone, all the major sects at Xuanling Pass would not let him go.

Mu Yifeng and Qin Sang didn't intend to monopolize the Gan Yang Crystal.

First, Yin Xingge is difficult to deal with, and there are so many people in the same industry that it's hard to keep it a secret. Second, if the Qianyang Crystal falls into the hands of the sect masters, it's equivalent to falling into Shaohua Mountain's hands. Not only will their skills not be lacking, but the sect's rewards will also be generous.

Yin Xingge was a bit dubious. He hadn't expected Qin Sang and Mu Yifeng to agree so easily, without even a hint of doubt. All the excuses he had prepared beforehand became useless. Since everything went so smoothly, he naturally wouldn't make things difficult. He withdrew his spiritual energy from the cloud disk, assigned the task to the right people, and immediately set off.

The seven individuals split up, each choosing a different path. They each held a jade talisman; if they encountered danger, they would crush the talisman to call for help.

Qin Sang and the other two remained on the spot, sitting in a pin shape on the ground. They worked together to activate the star disk, allowing its power to spread along the channel and cover the entire area below. This allowed others to focus on mining the sunstone quartz without worrying about exposing their aura.

Each playing their part, the ancient veins seemed to have returned to peace. Only the astrolabe above the three heads rotated slowly, its starlight twinkling, appearing extraordinarily profound and beautiful.

After escaping Qin Sang and the others' sight, Yin Xingge glanced back, then suddenly changed direction, his figure like lightning, rushing deep into the mine.

The passage wound and turned, but Yin Xing's song remained undiminished in speed. Suddenly, a streak of gray-white gas flashed past ahead. Judging by its strange form, it was a cloud beast that hadn't fully formed yet.

Yin Xingge plucked his strings, and a net of golden thunder shot toward the Yun beast. It suddenly opened, unleashing several bolts of lightning that bound the Yun beast tightly.

...hisssss...

Countless, hair-thin electric serpents danced across the Cloud Beast's body. The Cloud Beast soon crumbled, leaving only a fist-sized stone at the end.

The stone was smooth and fine-grained, but its colors were chaotic, with red and gray-white blending together. It lacked any hint of the aura belonging to a spirit.

This is a piece of Qianyang quartz contaminated by the essence of the cloud beast. If the cloud beast has already taken shape and the spirit creature is thoroughly polluted, it cannot be used to refine spirit weapons. This piece of Qianyang quartz will then become an evil spirit possessing object.

Now, you only need to dispel the cloud beast essence within the Dry Yang Quartz, and it will still be usable.

With a flick of his hand, Yin Xing's cloud thunder golden net flew back to his head, swirling and coiling. He then grabbed the dry yang quartz crystal without looking and tucked it away, still rushing deeper into the passageway.

Throughout it all, his speed never wavered.

What's even stranger is that in the very spot where they had just fought, there was a piece of dry yang quartz in the corner. It had been affected by the pollution far less. Yin Xingge seemed not to have noticed at all, and didn't even glance in its direction.

All along the way, it was like this. Only when encountering a shapeshifting cloud beast blocking the road would Yin Xingge make a move to solve it and conveniently pick up a piece of dry yang quartz stone.

In a short while, Yin Xingge's figure suddenly stopped at a fork in the road.

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

Looking at the two paths before him, Yin Xingge hesitated for a moment, reaching into his bosom and taking out a spirit beast pouch.

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

Alert, the man glanced back. Yin Xingge crouched on the ground, carefully opening his spirit beast bag. After a moment, a red line emerged from the bag, it was a red centipede.

This centipede isn't particularly large, just a bit longer than a normal one. What's peculiar is its appearance; its entire body is as crystal clear and fiery red as jade. You can clearly see the constantly moving crimson threads flowing inside its body with your naked eye. Whether they are its blood or some kind of internal power is unknown.

After the centipede appeared, the air in the passage suddenly became several degrees hotter. Just by looking at its appearance, one could determine that this centipede must be a spiritual insect. One wonders where Yin Xingge obtained it from.

Yin Xingge crouched on the ground, patiently waiting for the centipede to crawl out of the spirit beast bag, his eyes eagerly watching its movements.

Unexpectedly, the centipede did not choose to enter any of the side paths. It suddenly turned around and crawled back the way it came, flashing like lightning onto a piece of dry yang quartzite. It coiled its entire body on the surface of the dry yang quartzite, opening its sharp mandibles and gnawing at it point by point.

A touch of disappointment flashed in Yin Xingge's eyes. He summoned his spirit beast pouch, storing the centipede inside. Standing at the fork in the road, he glanced left and right before casually selecting a direction and dashing into it.

Thus, again and again, every time he reached a fork in the road, Yin Xingge would release a centipede. If he encountered a dead end, he would retreat and choose a new path, but always came up empty-handed. Finally, he went deeper and deeper, almost beyond the protection of the star chart. Yin Xingge had no choice but to sacrifice a cloud artifact himself.

Another fork in the path, Yin Xingge repeated his old trick and released a centipede. He didn't have high hopes, but unexpectedly, when the centipede crawled out of its spirit beast bag, it raised its upper body as if sensing something. It suddenly dashed into one of the paths, like a red thread, moving with astonishing speed, as if something precious was attracting it ahead.

Seeing this scene, Yin Xingge's eyes lit up, and she burst into laughter. She hurriedly put away her spirit beast bag and used her body technique to closely follow the centipede.

Unexpectedly, after walking for a short distance, they came to a dead end. At the end was a rough stone wall, and there wasn't even a piece of dry sunstone quartz around. Yin Xingge stopped, his eyes fixed on the centipede. and fled in all directions.Only Yunyouzi stood behind Qin Sang, sacrificing his magical artifact, ready to rescue him at any time.Everyone was curious about the poisonous bees, but no one wanted to t...
