rd the man in black.>"Bang!"The man in black bumped his head on the edge of the bed, lying there motionless. After a moment, Yama, with the soul of the man in black hanging from his mouth, floated out...Qin Sang flew slowly above the Fire Domain.

The Fire Domain was vast and sparsely populated, yet Qin Sang could occasionally sense cultivators traveling through the magma, searching for something.

Even when returning to the vicinity of the Daoist Temple, I found two Nascent Soul cultivators wandering around.

The temple was sealed by a spirit formation, so they naturally couldn't sense it.

Upon entering the temple, Qin Sang immediately summoned Marquis Gui.

When General Gui Hou arrived, he was given a mustard seed bag.

"Deliver these things to the Qingyang Guan, then take a ground vessel and journey to Mount Mùluò..."

The Cloud Capital is preparing for a grand war, and the Duskfall Mountain will certainly not lag behind. Qin Sang is ready to seize this opportunity and gain influence on all sides.

Under his command were several Nascent Soul experts, Ling Shi and Luohun Yuan had a grudge against each other, while Gui Hou's strength and mental fortitude were top-notch, and with the Earthwalker by his side, he could protect himself.

"When you have nothing to do, stay at Qingyang Guan and listen."

"Yes, sir!"

Lord Guihou bowed and withdrew, first finding Ling Shi to inquire about the situation at Moluo Mountain. Then, he left the temple and headed south.

Qin Sang went straight to the Fire Room, with a wave of his hand, he was surrounded by orbs of light, which were various magic treasures and spiritual materials.

After arriving at the Qingyang Guan, Lord Gui was also called down into the pit.

Three cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage were waiting quietly in front of the main platform for orders.

The mustard seed pouch sent by this deity contains a portion of the spirit materials needed for constructing the altar.

Qin Sang recorded the method of building an altar in a jade slip and gave it to the three demons.

>

After that, he would stay in the main hall and there was no need for him to personally oversee the construction of the branch halls. He could just leave it to the three demons to handle.

The Marquis of Gui took the jade scroll and the boat that could travel on land. He hurried toward Mount Sunset without stopping his horse.

Luohou and Tai'e went to Qianyuan Temple with the jade slips. They thoroughly pondered over the contents of the jade slips and then departed, taking along spiritual materials.

The Restoration Array is now activated, starting from today!

The young man surnamed Shi and Yin's family have not disclosed their experience at Qingyang Guan to the outside world.

Xiao Wu and Yu Lang lived a peaceful life day after day at Qiyángguan. They interacted most with the villagers of Qipa Village, the students of the academy, and those who came seeking medicine.

Here, you can't feel the ups and downs of the cultivation world.

The weather is turning cooler.

Yellow leaves are flying.

’Splish splash…'

On the wide road, several fast horses galloped towards Qili Village.

The leader, in magnificent brocade robes, was brimming with youthful vigor. His bearing exuded elegance and refinement; a true dashing young gentleman.

The few people behind him were all dressed in fine attire and carrying swords, they were attendants guarding him.

This is the end of the paragraph.

These people had high, protruding cheekbones. Their riding posture and formation were quite unusual. Their hawk-like eyes scanned their surroundings, ever vigilant for enemies who might appear from any direction.

As he saw the distant Village of Seven Rows and the lush bamboo grove, the young master smiled and flicked his reins.

"Onward!"

The speed surged dramatically, the attendants effortlessly keeping pace as if walking on flat ground. Their horsemanship was extraordinary.

As he turned the corner, the young master let out a surprised exclamation.

But at the entrance of the bamboo grove stood a large stone inscribed with the words "Those seeking medicine, enter here," and beside it stood a villager-like man.

"Oh!"

The young master reined in his horse, glanced at the hills behind Qiliang Village, and asked in a low voice, "Sir, is that schoolhouse in the bamboo grove Why would you seek medicine there Didn't the Taoist Priest Qingfeng of Qingyang Temple leave"

The villagers, upon seeing the visitor's demeanor, hurriedly got up and smiled, saying, "Sir, are you from out of town The master at the academy is Daoist Yu Lang from Qingyang Guan. Daoist Yu Lang is the disciple of Daoist Qingfeng. Daoist Qingfeng is getting old and passed on the Taoist temple to Daoist Yu Lang. Daoist Yu Lang teaches in the academy during the day and returns to the Taoist temple to sleep at night."

"Is Yu Lang now the master of Guan"

The young master curled a smile on his lips, dismounted, and instructed his attendants to wait outside.

Here's the content translated to English, keeping the HTML tags intact:

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

Outside the academy, several bamboo huts were built specifically for consultations.

The villagers asked the young master to sit and wait while they went into the schoolhouse to report.

The young master patiently sat, yet a hint of excitement was hard to conceal in his expression. He took out a jade pendant and twirled it in his hand.

>

After a short while, footsteps could be heard outside.

A young Taoist priest in a blue Dao robe walked in, it was Yu Lang.

Seeing the smiling gaze of his own precious son, Yulan was stunned for a moment, his face full of surprise: "Are you...making a fuss"

It was actually Tao Teng, a childhood friend they hadn't seen in many years!

Between his brows, one could still faintly see the shadow of his former self.

At first glance, Yu Lang was a little hesitant to recognize him, because the other person's temperament had changed so much.

This is a test. Please provide me with the text you would like me to translate, and I will be happy to help!

When Tao Teng was young, his family was well-off, but he was just a wealthy son.

Now Tao Teng exudes an air of nobility, along with a dignified bearing that comes from years in a position of power. This aura is something that the magistrate of Jinxian County lacks!

Tao Teng moved his entire family to the capital city. At first, he sent several letters, but because the journey was long, contact gradually ceased.

Yu Lang remembered that the Tao family was a merchant family, and they came to the capital city for business.

Such a temperament, I'm afraid, could only be cultivated by a noble family!

Tao Teng's smile froze, and he angrily said, "You almost didn't even recognize me as a person, but you remembered my alias perfectly!"

A fleeting expression brought back Yu Lang's feelings from the past.

"It's really you, kid!"

Yulan deliberately circled around Tao Teng, marveling, "Has the Tao family prospered in the capital city"

"Your change is not small either. This ethereal air of detachment, I have only seen it in my master."

Tao Teng's expression was complicated, and he sighed suddenly, "You are really a cultivator!"

"You!"

Yulang was really stunned.

Qipaicun was located in a remote area, and no cultivators would come specifically to check on it. He had never intentionally concealed his cultivation level.

Even so, ordinary people could not see through him.

Ke Yulang looked up and down at Tao Teng, but there was no fluctuation of spiritual energy in his body.

"May only you have the fate of immortals"

This is a text snippet. It doesn't contain any meaningful context without the surrounding information.

Tao Teng showed a smug smile, "You little weasel nose, you managed to keep it from me for so long! Today I finally got my revenge!"

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

He gently stroked the jade pendant in his hand. The jade pendant flashed, and its aura suddenly changed drastically, revealing a cultivator!

Yulang was immediately surprised, "The tenth layer of the Qi Refining period!"

When they parted ways, Tao Teng was still clearly a mortal.

>

"You've already established your foundation, haven't you I guess this young master is still not as good as you!"

Tao Teng's spirits dipped for a moment, but he quickly regained his smug expression. "How about that Shocked"

Yu Lang nodded honestly, "Indeed I didn't expect it, you learned from a master in the capital city"

"This is a long story..."

Tao Teng cast a spell to separate the inside and outside, and he sat facing Jade Lang.

“Do you remember when we were at Zui Xiang Lou Back then, I already felt that the storyteller and your master weren't ordinary people. When I returned to Beijing, I regretted leaving too early that day. Later, while going out for a spring outing, I accidentally stumbled into the mountains and ran into my master by chance. My master took me into the immortal sect, and then I realized that there is still a way of immortality in this world...”

Tao Teng lowered his voice and asked curiously, "Are the Daoist Qingfeng and the storyteller hidden great cultivators"

> That day, after the meal, Qingyuan senior left and never came back. As for my master, I've never seen my master make a move. Perhaps he's very high…

Yu Lang couldn't help but think, the ghosts and spirits of Jinxian County, the young man surnamed Shi, and the Yin family all showed great respect to their master.

It is said that the head of the Yin family is a Yuan Ying ancestor.

"What a pity!"

Tao Teng sighed, "That day, the servants were bothering me and called me away. I didn't get to hear the two powerful figures discuss the Dao, missing out on a chance for enlightenment!"

To this day, Tao Teng still deeply regrets it and slaps his thigh.

"The things that Master and Senior Qingyuan talked about, I basically couldn't understand. To this day, it's still a fog to me. If you want to know, I'll tell you later," Yu Lang said.

"Sure enough, you're a true friend. It was worth me always thinking of you!"

Tao Teng was overjoyed and grasped Yu Lang's hand tightly. "After becoming his disciple, I was left by my master to cultivate in the deep mountains, rarely venturing out, so I had no chance to send you a letter. Until last year, my master allowed me to come down the mountain. Although I didn't come to see you, I had long heard of your great name. Once you've taken care of your affairs, please come to Jincheng County to find me!"

"What school of martial arts did you join"

Yulan wanted to speak but held back.

>

There's still one question I haven't asked.

Tao Teng was dressed in fine clothes, looking every bit the pampered son of a wealthy family who had enjoyed all the riches and glory life had to offer. He didn't look like an ascetic at all.

Could it be that the cultivation world in the capital city is like this

"I don't know what school it is. My master won't tell me, saying that I am too lowly skilled and that going out would shame the sect!"

Tao Teng scratched his head and, noticing Yu Lang's gaze, let out a sly smile. He stood up and shook his brocade robe and accessories with a flourish, boasting, "How do I look This is the finest Huazhou silk from Yan State, and these are the best Xi Shan jade ornaments—both tributes to the royal family!"

Before Yu Lang could answer, Tao Teng pointed at the school and said, “I’m different from you. You’re playing with the world of mortals, but I’m truly descending the mountain, becoming an ordinary person!”

"Transforming the ordinary..."

Yu Lang was even more confused.

Now he understands that the difference between immortals and mortals is not just in strength.

Those who practice the Tao distance themselves from the red dust. Firstly, there are gods and spirits in the human world to oversee their conduct. Secondly, the temptations of the red dust are too many, easily obscuring one's heart and hindering their cultivation.

Did Tao Teng cultivate some special exercises, or perhaps he doesn't prioritize cultivation

"Excellent! After descending the mountain last year, I sought out the Crown Prince and became his advisor, assisting him in inheriting the great legacy. Those people outside are all subordinates sent by the Crown Prince to protect me!"

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

Tao Teng said in a deep voice.

He seemed unaware that once this statement spread, it would surely cause a sensation in the State of Yan!

Yu Lang was teaching at a school and had some understanding of the political situation in the Yan Kingdom's court.

The current emperor is elderly, and the court is rife with intrigue.

>

The crown prince is the eldest son and the emperor's biological son, but the empress passed away early. He lives secluded in the East Palace, and it is said that he has a weak personality.

Among all the princes, the second prince was the most beloved by the people. He was wise and valiant, both skilled in literature and warfare, and deeply favored by the emperor.

Other princes also participated in government affairs and many were renowned for their wisdom.

Tao Teng was clearly a cultivator. Not only did he meddle in politics, but he even wanted to assist the Crown Prince in ascending the throne!

The ghosts and spirits of the capital of Yan wouldn't allow him to do this, would they

Please note that the original text you provided was empty. The translation remains "".

"My master had a relationship with the City God of Yan Kingdom, and I swore before him that no matter the outcome, I would not use even a shred of magical power to interfere in any worldly affairs. And at an appropriate time, I would feign death and escape, living as a truly genuine mortal."

Tao Teng spread out his palm, showing the jade pendant to Yu Lang. “This City God Jade was given by the City God of the capital. It can conceal my aura and also seal my cultivation. Once I try to use spiritual power, the City God of the capital will immediately notice and punish me severely, with no leniency!”

Yu Lang suddenly realized, no wonder he couldn't see through Tao Teng's cultivation, but he still didn't understand, "Why would you do this"

>Remember what I said at the Zui Xiang Lou

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

Once a storyteller asked me, "What is the Way of Humanity"

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

“I answer: between parents and sons there is filial piety, between ruler and subject there is righteousness, between husband and wife there is distinction, between elders and the young there is order, and among friends there is trustworthiness.”

“I answer that the way of the world is to benefit all under heaven. It chooses the wise and capable, upholds trustworthiness and cultivates harmony. Thus, people do not only care for their own relatives, nor just for their children. They ensure that the elderly have a place to rest in their final years, that those in their prime have something to contribute, and that the young have opportunities to grow. Widows, widowers, orphans, the lonely, the disabled—all are cared for.” But…”

Tao Teng stood up and looked out of the bamboo hut. “The storyteller doesn’t seem to agree. After he left, I racked my brains but couldn’t think of anything better than this humane utopia. So I studied hard, determined to pass the imperial examinations and become an official. One day, I want to create such a prosperous world myself, proving that I am right!”

Looking at his companions from their childhood, Yulang's expression gradually became serious. He had already guessed what they were thinking.

Until I learned that there were still cultivators in this world, who soared above mortals, mortals spent their entire lives, generation after generation, making efforts. A cultivator could erase them with a single finger!

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

"The great path of humanity is not found in ordinary people!"

Fortunately, there is still Shinto in the world to deter demons and immortals. Otherwise, once a few more powerful demon cultivators emerge, who would casually sacrifice cities or countries, the human world would surely become a hellscape of demons.

"But even ghosts and spirits only see mortals as a source of incense offerings. My master said that Shinto values goodness, but human nature is changeable. Not everyone in the world is a benevolent god, some ghosts and spirits want more incense, so they secretly instigate wars."

Tao Teng let out a deep sigh and sat back down. "I told my master about my aspirations from back then, begging him to allow me to go down the mountain and give it a try, regardless of success or failure. Only by doing so could I truly understand my own thoughts. Even if it delayed my cultivation, I was willing to take the risk. Of course, I wouldn't be as naive as before, thinking that simply establishing policies in Yan Guo, achieving unity among the people, and bringing prosperity to the commoners would be enough to satisfy me."

>

Upon hearing this, Yu Lang deeply admired this childhood companion. He never expected him to achieve such a level of success.

"You chose the Crown Prince," Yulan mused.

Tao Teng nodded: "Indeed, the Crown Prince is the legitimate heir. He is kind-hearted by nature, excels in both civil and military affairs, and is patient enough to bide his time. A dragon can be grand or modest. When grand, it soars through clouds and mists; when modest, it remains hidden. I have secretly met with several princes, and the Second Prince seems most powerful. He appears wise and valiant, but he acts arbitrarily, favors schemes and plots, and doesn't seem fit to be a ruler..."

Hearing Tao Teng's assessment of the princes, Yu Lang couldn't help but say, "I never thought you would be willing to be a subject and live under the commoners."

The moment he uttered those words, Yulan was taken aback.

The words just tumbled out, so natural, so effortless.

At first, the master was tragically killed by a spirit beast of a cultivator, leaving him utterly heartbroken.

At the Zui Xiang Lou, he once asked: Can mortals only be fish on a chopping board

>

Just a few years, could he have been subtly influenced to believe that cultivators should be above ordinary people

No wonder the master said, cultivating one's way is hardest because it requires steadfast adherence to one's true nature!

Yu Lang was almost scared out of his wits.

"A monarch should have the world in his heart, and cultivation has nothing to do with it!"

Tao Teng didn't notice his companion's strangeness and said nonchalantly, "Mortals cannot cultivate immortals, but they can practice martial arts. As the saying goes, mastering both literature and martial arts is as valuable as being in the emperor's family. Among mortals, there are still innate masters who serve as generals and marshals in the army. Their martial arts far surpass that of emperors, yet they willingly become ministers to the king. As long as it is a wise ruler, why can't I"
