Chapter 38: Artifacts, Spiritual Energy, Divine Sense, Nasce

sword, standing aloft in the air. A dragon coiled around him, his bearing valiant and imposing.>Seeing this scene, everyone woke up as if from a dream and immediately scrambled to grab the streaks of...The Hunwu County magistrate's office was piled high with treasure chests, gold, silver, and jewels glittering in the light.

Qin Sang was arranging people to count.

“These land deeds belong to the common people near Hǔnwǔ County. It is estimated that those bandits cunningly seized them. Zhānzōng handed them over to the magistrate of Hǔnwǔ County, and they should be returned to the people.”

The surface treasury of Xuance Temple was nearly emptied, with only a small chest of land deeds left. Qin Sang flipped through it, and they were all for land around Hunwu County.

Qin Sang handed the box to Wu Chuangzong, but saw that he hesitated to speak, and couldn't help but wonder inwardly.

"What's Chuanzong thinking about Just say it."

Wu Chuanzong was a clever and discerning child. Qin Sang, finding him useful, kept him by her side to run errands.

Moreover, Wu Chuanzong had good intelligence and knew the importance of hard work. He never stopped studying and practicing martial arts. Although he missed the best age for training, with proper guidance, he could still achieve something remarkable.

"Mr. Hui."

Wu Zhuanzong also always addressed Qin Sang as "Mr.," saying, "I'm afraid the common people might not be willing to take back their land deeds"

Qin Sang exclaimed in surprise, "Why"

Could it be that some people don't want to return the land

> There is a temple in my hometown. It is said that many people voluntarily donate land to the temple. During the drought last year, the local peasants were unable to survive, but the temple's tenant farmers could still eat. It is said that the temple's fields are exempt from land tax, and the peasants only need to donate some grain to the temple every year. Whenever there is a famine year and they cannot deliver enough grain, the temple will be lenient, and sometimes even receive relief. But if they hand over one less bucket to the government, it won't do. There are also things like weighing in and weighing out fire losses. My old teacher said that many people were not starved to death, but were driven to death by the government.

Qin Sang was even more surprised when he heard this. He had finally done something kind, and almost messed it up

Qin Sang looked at the others, "Is it like this everywhere"

Zhang Wenkui gave a light cough and said, "Reporting to the Master, the situation varies in different places. There are indeed high-ranking monks of great virtue, but there are also many wicked monks who seize farmland and oppress the people. If the temple is powerful, even the government officials are helpless against them. It remains to be seen whether the Xanzhi Temple is benevolent or evil."

“Then go investigate,” Qin Sang threw the land deed to Zhang Wenkui and Wu Zhuanzong, “Within one day, you two figure it out for me, is the land deed returned to the people or returned to the temple, you decide.”

Seeing Zhang Wenkui's mournful face, Qin Sang laughed and scolded: "Why are you making such a sad face You won't miss out on any benefits here!"

Arranging for reliable people, Qin Sang had Zhou Mingguang and Shui Houzi keep an eye on the count. He himself couldn't wait to return to his residence, securing the courtyard gate tightly.

This talisman's texture is completely different from the one used by Daoist Ji Xin. It is as white as snow and incredibly flexible, even better than high-quality Xuan paper.

The paper was covered with lines that Qin Sang couldn't understand. They were much more complex than the fake talismans made by Abbot Ji Xin. Qin Sang studied them for a while, but couldn't figure out what they meant.

According to the words of the Round-Awakened, after the immortal cultivator released the water curtain, the talisman paper shattered, presumably a one-time use. He only had this one in his hand, Qin Sang was reluctant to act rashly for fear of destroying it again.

Holding the purple bell and jade slip in both hands, Qin Sang recalled the process of controlling the Hades Banner. He only needed to urge the qi in his body into the Hades Banner, and the incantation of the Hades Banner appeared in his mind.

However, there are also swords like the Wumu sword, no matter how much air he puts into it, it's like a stone sinking to the bottom of the sea.

Why there is such a difference, Qin Sang doesn't know the reason.

Qin Sang hesitated for a moment, thinking about the performance of the purple bell when it killed, estimating that it was similar to the Yan Luo Banner and not something good. This jade slip radiated a soft glow, warm and cute. It might be worth trying it first.

Putting down the bell, Qin Sang held the jade slip in his hand, channeling his qi and cautiously entering it.

To everyone’s surprise, Jade Decree suddenly broke free from Qin Sang’s grasp and pressed against his forehead.

Qin Sang felt his consciousness being drawn into the jade slip. Startled, he remembered the previous experience with the Yan Luo Banner and, though alarmed, remained calm.

Could there be another world within this jade tablet

Qin Sang was muttering to himself, and discovered that the jade slip actually contained a text. He couldn't help but feel his spirits lift.

After half an hour, Qin Sang, who had been sitting motionless at the table, raised his hand to take down the jade slip. He opened his eyes and looked at the jade slip, his eyes shining with excitement.

Now he understood, this jade slip wasn't a weapon, but a carrier for written text. The text inside explained the abilities of the bell and how to control it.

The bell's original name was Zi Hun Ling, a high-grade magic artifact with the power to confuse the soul and mislead the mind. If a cultivator were powerful enough, it could even directly obliterate an enemy's primordial spirit.

The use of the Zi Hun Ling is very simple. It does not require incantations, only that a cultivator uses their spiritual energy to activate the bell's sound, and then manipulates it with their divine sense for it to take effect.

As for the process of manipulating Zi Hun Ling, the Jade Slips describe it in great detail.

When first starting out, cultivators struggle to control the Purple Soul Bell. They must use their divine sense to control the bell's sound and focus all their power against a single enemy to maximize its potential.

When one can command the Purple Soul Bell as if it were an arm, this artifact can unleash its most powerful might, simultaneously beguiling three to four individuals without effort.

Qin Sang couldn't wait to pick up the Zi Hun Ling. According to the jade slip's instructions, he used his divine sense to enter the magic weapon and then used the energy within his body to activate it.

His movements weren't skillful. It took him several tries to get the hang of it.

But Zi Hun Ling was like a bottomless pit. Despite his best efforts and the expenditure of all his spiritual energy, he only just managed to succeed.

"Ding dong..."

The Purple Soul Bell rings without wind, its clear and crisp chime echoing throughout the room.

Qin Sang wiped the sweat from his forehead. His internal spiritual power was completely depleted, leaving him extremely weak, but his face was filled with excitement.

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

Although it was exciting to obtain a magical artifact, what truly thrilled Qin Sang was the text itself.

The energy within him was the spiritual power written in the Jade Scroll!

The Classic of the Netherworld is indeed a cultivation technique for immortals!

This finally calmed Qin Sang's restless heart.

In addition, Qin Sang also learned a lot from the jade slip.

The soul of a cultivator seems to be different from that of an ordinary person and is called Yuanshen.

The Shensi is also not mentioned in the Netherworld Scriptures. Qin Sang only learned about the existence of the Shensi now. According to what was written in the jade slip, as long as one begins cultivation, a Shensi can be produced within the Yuanshen. The Shensi can not only manipulate magical artifacts but also has other uses, but Qin Sang could only explore them slowly on his own.

Thinking of this, Qin Sang hurriedly took out the ebony sword and other things he had obtained before.

Qin Sang picked up the ebony sword, probing it with his divine sense. Unfortunately, the ebony sword remained like a bottomless pit, accepting his divine sense and spiritual power without any response.

Only when Qin Sang entered his consciousness into the Yan Luo Banner would he have new gains.

Although the King of Hell has an instinct to avoid misfortune, his intellect is not particularly high. Previously, when he used his Hades Banner, only those within his field of vision could assign tasks to him, otherwise, he was completely unable to be controlled.

Now he can completely cover his divine sense on the King of Hell, commanding it at all times.
