Chapter 201: Cloud Devices
f its small size. This tiny flame of cold might freeze us both if we are not careful. That transformed demon discovered the cold flame and did not know how many years he spent guarding it here, but he...A few pills entered his stomach, as expected, there was no change in his Qi sea.
Qin Sang secretly shook his head, no longer harboring fantasies. He put away his chaotic thoughts and took out the embroidered handkerchief from his storage pouch.
The Jinpa was only the size of a palm, square in shape, with rough lines, as if woven from some kind of bark. It lacked intricate patterns and appeared to be an ordinary magical artifact.
Strangely, a layer of grayish-white mist always lingered above, giving it an eerie feel.
This kind of thing that resembles both a legal and an illegal artifact is unique to ancient immortal battlefields, and it's called a Yunqi.
As the name suggests, a cloud device is crafted using the spirit-infused evil spirits from a cloud beast.
The formation of the Cloud Beasts is widely believed to stem from the countless corpses of powerful ancient immortals within the depths of the Ancient Immortal Battlefield. These remains remain uncorrupted to this day. The residual fighting spirit of these powerful beings, persisting even after death, underwent transformations over countless years, eventually evolving into a form resembling sinister energy. This sinister energy took shape within the Ancient Immortal Battlefield, giving rise to these unique creatures known as Cloud Beasts.
When killing qi takes shape, it gives birth to the spirit of a cloud beast, which will attach itself to objects.
It could be an ordinary stone or a common weed, but it could also be a spiritual herb, spirit tree, ore, or even beasts and demon beasts that originally lived on the battlefield of ancient immortals. The entire species has been contaminated by the Yun beast essence. After countless years of proliferation and generational evolution, they have become a strange kind of Yun beast.
These things are possessed by the spirits of cloud beasts, forming into cloud beasts. After cultivators slay cloud beasts, they obtain items polluted by the cloud beast spirits, known as spirit-infused evil objects.
Because the demonic energy is extremely violent and unstable, there is a high chance that the spirit of the cloud beast will dissipate after it is exterminated, along with any evil objects it has possessed. Therefore, not every time a cloud beast is hunted can an evil object be obtained.
For countless years, cultivators have found ways to utilize spiritual artifacts, one of which is to forge them into cloud devices. Cultivators who enter the ancient immortal battlefield activate these cloud devices, releasing the aura of cloud beast spirits. This allows them to deceive cloud beasts, making them believe they are one of their own.
Especially when a celestial phenomenon arrives, if a cultivator cannot find shelter, they must do their utmost to resist the erosion of the celestial phenomenon.
If he were not shrouded by the cloud armor, his spiritual energy fluctuations would be like a lighthouse, attracting hordes of cloud beasts from afar. Even if he resisted the celestial phenomenon, he would still fall prey to being surrounded and killed by the cloud beasts.
Of course, cloud computing isn't omnipotent.
Firstly, this effect has a range limit. If you are already close to the cloud beasts, they will still be able to detect you.
Secondly, if you unfortunately encounter a cloud beast that is too powerful, even the cloud device cannot deceive its perception. In such situations, you can only blame yourself for your bad luck.
Thirdly, because the cloud beast's spirit is unstable, the refined cloud weapon cannot be used for a long time and is easily destroyed, similar to some evil weapons like the Chimera Sword and Falling Cloud Wings.

Qin Sang suspected that Yi Lao Mo had learned from the refining methods of Yunqi and, combined with the powerful strength of a Jindan cultivator, he refined the evil weapon.
This piece of brocade is just an ordinary cloud tool.
Qin Sang prepared to go to the Ancient Immortal Battlefield himself and naturally needed to prepare a flying artifact for protection. However, he had to return within a month and wouldn't venture too far, so he just bought an ordinary one.

A month later, a streak of light shot out from the ancient fairy battlefield, several meters off the ground. The piercing sound of sword cries drew the attention of everyone on the ground, causing them to wonder how anyone dared to fly in the ancient fairy battlefield.
This is a test.
A ray of light descended before the Xuanling Pass, revealing Qin Sang's figure.
It's best not to fly in the Ancient Immortal Battlefield because there are bone-piercing gales in the high altitudes, and you have a large target. If you get surrounded by cloud beasts, it would be very dangerous.
Qin Sang only dared to take the risk because he was almost late and was about to reach Xuankang Pass.
He was covered in dust and grime, ignoring the strange looks from those around him. He strode hurriedly into Xuankang Pass; tomorrow was the agreed-upon deadline of one month.
Over the past month, Qin Sang ventured as deep into the ancient battlefield of immortals as possible, barely managing to return in time. His experiences over the past month solidified his belief—he couldn't be a lone cultivator!
He is different from others.

The others didn't have to stay in the Gu Xian battlefield for cultivation all the time. They could return to Xuan Keng Guan after achieving satisfactory gains. Qin Sang had to find a cave dwelling for cultivation.
According to Qin Sang's observation, the distribution of cloud beasts in the ancient fairy battlefield also roughly follows a rule: the deeper into the battlefield, the more powerful cloud beasts are commonly seen.
Understanding the killing talisman also has requirements for opponents. If the opponent is too weak, it won't achieve the training effect and the results will be minimal. To gain sufficient experience and not delay cultivation time, the outer area is best, or at least the boundary between the border region and the outer area should be where the cave is opened.
Being here, the safest place would be a town or market built inside a secret realm's ruins. There are indeed cave dwellings for rent, but the prices are astonishingly high, causing Qin Sang to hesitate.
Setting up a cave in the wilderness is out of the question. Even spirit beasts are attracted to spiritual energy, and places with concentrated spiritual energy would already be occupied by hordes of them.
Even if you can pull a tooth from its socket, take away one place and use formations to block spiritual energy, it will still be exposed when celestial phenomena arrive. Without powerful protective restrictions as a foundation, it cannot be defended at all.
After returning to the cave and resting briefly, Qin Sang went to the main hall to look for Yu Yangzi.
Yu Yangzi strode out, smiling and asking, “It’s been so long since I’ve seen Junior Brother Qin. I thought Junior Brother Qin didn’t want to be bound by rules and planned to wander the ancient battlefield of Xian alone! What are your plans, Junior Brother Qin Do you intend to join the Skull Guardians or the Shadow Guards”
Qin Sang returned the jade talisman of his cave abode to Yu Yangzi and asked in return, "Senior brother Yu Yangzi, I heard that there is a secret realm within the ancient battlefield where disciples are stationed. I wonder if there are any vacancies"
Yuyangzi was slightly taken aback, hesitating for a moment, "Junior Brother Qin only asked out of curiosity, or is he determined to take on this task"
Qin Sang said solemnly, “If I have the chance, I would like to try.”
"This..."

Yuyangzi looked around, "Qin, my junior brother, let's talk inside."
As the two walked into the hall, Yu Yangzi whispered as he walked, "Brother Qin is new here and may not know much about the ancient fairy battlefield. The ancient fairy battlefield is unpredictable and ever-changing. The secret realms that have been opened up and controlled by our sect are only a few, and each secret realm is a secret of the sect. There are strict requirements for the disciples stationed there. In addition, since there are benefits to be shared from the secret realms, it has become customary for those stationed in the secret realms to be designated by senior brothers and uncles. If Brother Qin also wants to do this job, he needs to ask his master for an imperial decree or ask a familiar Jindan cultivator for help..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Sang secretly smiled wryly. He had no master at all.
That is to say, Yu Yangzi stayed at Xuan'gu Pass all along and had no knowledge of Qin Sang's background.
"Senior brother, I don't ask for the benefits within the Fēn Rùn secret realm. I just want a place to live, a cave dwelling with abundant spiritual energy that is suitable for cultivation. Is there any way you can help me out"
