yuan Qingjing Palace were meditating and practicing here.This is a tricky one! It seems you're asking me to translate the content within the HTML tags >. However, there's no actual content *between*...Shaohua Mountain.

Qin Sang rode the clouds and landed before the mountain gate, discovering that a portion of the large formation had been opened, and several disciples from Shaohua Mountain were patrolling nearby on alert.

Shaohua Mountain is the Xiaohan domain's most prominent sect located closest to the Yuncang Great Marsh, with its objectives clearly visible.

Once things change, Shaohua Mountain will inevitably be the first to face danger, leaving them with no choice but to be vigilant.

Please note that I can't see any text content within the tags. If you provide me with the text, I will gladly translate it for you!

It is said that on the outskirts of Yuncang Dazze, major markets such as Wuyuefang have closed down. Several that are still open are heavily guarded, and all those entering and leaving must be carefully screened.

The situation is very dangerous, as can be imagined.

"Please come in, Master Qin!"

>

Qin Sang took out his waist card. After the patrol disciple confirmed Qin Sang's identity, he performed a respectful bow without being servile or arrogant, and let Qin Sang enter the mountain.

Before entering the mountain, Qin Sang flew to a high place to look out.

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

The vast expanse of Yuncang Lake stretches as far as the eye can see, its surface shimmering with sunlight, a breathtaking sight. But beneath this serene facade lies a churning undercurrent, for in an instant, it could transform into a bloody battlefield where countless cultivators are devoured.

As the clouds parted, Qin Sang flew into his master's sect and landed on Daomen Peak, where he saw the solemnity of it all.

"Congratulations to Master Zhuang on his happy marriage. My younger brother's blessings are late, please forgive me, Master Zhuang!"

>

Qin Sang smiled and bowed respectfully to Zhuang Yan.

After many years, his solemn cultivation had reached the middle stage of foundation building. For his age, his cultivation speed was considered slow.

If Zhuang Yan cannot break through the late-stage bottleneck soon, and waits until he cultivates to the Nascent Soul realm threshold, his remaining lifespan will be very short, leaving him very little time to prepare for forming a golden elixir.

It means that the hope of achieving enlightenment in this lifetime is slim.

Now, Master Wen has returned home to enjoy his retirement, and Zhuang Yan takes over from him, presiding over the Daoist Peak.

Ten years ago, Zhuangyan and Shaohua Shan's sister named Xiao Qiuyue became Dao companions. Qin Sang learned the news, and because it was inconvenient to return to the sect, he sent a pair of son spirit swords as a gift and did not come in person to attend the wedding ceremony.

Zhuang Yan pulled Qin Sang down and sighed, “Qin, my junior brother, after decades apart, you come back and tease your senior brother like this. Be careful, or I’ll throw you out!”

Seeing this imposing manner, Qin Sang sat opposite him and said in surprise, "Master Zhuang, what are you saying I'm sincerely blessing you. How did it become a joke in your mouth Where is Shimei Xiao I haven't met Shimei Xiao yet, I wonder if she likes the pair of Liang Yuan swords"

>

“The spirit sword you gave her is of such high quality, she will surely like it.”

"It's a pity," Zhuang Yan sighed, "that we two don't deserve the word 'fated encounter,' it would be an insult to it."

>

Qin Sang saw that Zhuang Yan's expression was sincere and not feigned. He retracted his smile and asked in a low voice, "I hear that Senior Sister Xiao is a brilliant flower within our sect, a renowned figure. Is there anything else, Brother Zhuang, that you are unsatisfied with"

"Has your brother ever lived among mortals"

Zhuang Yan's face was solemn and forlorn. “Among ordinary men and women, when they marry, they have to participate in an event called matchmaking. Under the orders of their parents and the words of a matchmaker, two strangers are forcefully paired together. How much true love can there be between them It's just a matter of putting them together and making do with each other.”

Qin Sang thought to herself, "Senior brother, do you know that in some places, countless people yearn for an arranged marriage but are unable to find one"

Being too young, I don't know the benefits of matchmaking.

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

"Was it Master Wen who forced you to agree"

Solemnly, he uttered a sound like the hum of a mosquito, "Not exactly..."

Qin Sang chuckled, he immediately knew there was something fishy going on. Cultivators forming Daoist partnerships were different from ordinary couples. There was no pressure from worldly customs, and the purpose wasn't for procreation.

If Zhuang Yan refused, Wen Shishu wouldn't be able to force him.

“Senior brother, you’re over a hundred years old. Surely you can see through matters of men and women Do you still hope for true love to fall upon you Don't you remember what Master Ma Mu said when he was looking for a dual cultivation partner and persuaded me Just because your fate is here in this mountain, does that mean you can't see through it or understand it”

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

Even without true feelings, one...one can't...

Zhuangyan scratched his head, stammering and unable to explain. After looking around, he leaned in to Qin Sang's side and whispered hatefully, "Junior brother, do you know why she chose me as her Dao companion It's because my physique is the most suitable for cultivating the Yin Yang Harmony Sutra with her"

The name of , Qin Sang has long been familiar with.

This text is too short to need translation! If you have longer text, please provide it and I will happily translate it for you.

This technique is one of the best dual cultivation techniques treasured by Shaohua Mountain. Unlike the *Xuannü Yuding Zhenjing*, this is a genuine orthodox Xuanmen technique. Men and women practice together, following the Yin-Yang Dao without harming either party.

It is said that cultivation methods have requirements for the physique of those who practice them. Once successful, male and female dual cultivation will bring many benefits.

Qing Tingjie and Jiang Shishu's martial arts are the Treatise.

Qin Sang was not surprised by what Zhuang Yan said.

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

He retorted solemnly, "Brother Zhuang, when you agreed to cultivate together, wasn't this your intention"

"Yes! That's great!"

Zhuang Yan did not deny it.

“But, Qin Shidi, you might not know this, cultivating the Yin-Yang Same Origin Sutra, only when your cultivation levels are roughly equal can you achieve the best results.

"If the two of us achieve a breakthrough to the later stage of Foundation Establishment before the other, the one who hasn't broken through can still enjoy the benefits of the cultivation method. For the person who has broken through, this technique will become useless unless the other person also breaks through their bottleneck."

She and I had a deep conversation some time ago.

She said that if I could break through to the late stage of Foundation Building before her, she would automatically withdraw and choose someone else, absolutely not dragging me down. If she broke through first, she hoped that I could also...

"What...what is this!"

Qin Sang looked at Zhuang Yan, who was holding his head and speaking in a low, solemn voice. He shook his head gently.

Deep down, he agreed with what Senior Sister Xiao had said, but seeing her solemn expression, there were some things he couldn't bring himself to say.

"Over time, feelings deepen. Zhuang senior brother, aren't you in love with Xiao senior sister"

Qin Sang's words were astonishing.

The body froze, stiff as a board.

Qin Sang felt confident and whispered, "Brother Zhuang, we cultivators seek immortality and enlightenment. Isn't it for the sake of freedom Brother Zhuang, ask yourself, what do you truly desire If it's longevity, there must be sacrifices. Why bother with such distress As for Sister Xiao... You wouldn't even dare to utter a word"

Just then, a sound transmission slip suddenly flew into the main hall.

>

Zhuangyan received the sound transmission note and looked up at the time. He hurriedly stood up, "It's time for practice again. Junior Brother Qin, you have just returned to the sect, there must be many things to attend to. Senior Brother will invite you for a drink tomorrow."

"Senior Brother Zhuang, please go ahead."

Qin Sang saw Zhuang Yan off.

Unexpectedly, the solemn figure soared into the air, flying out for not long before returning in a hurry, tossing Qin Sang an object. "Qin junior brother, the outer cave dwelling is unsafe, and you have nowhere to stay within the sect. I won't be needing this cave for the time being, so take it."

Qin Sang grasped the token, watching as Zhuang Yan's solemn light disappeared into the depths of the mountain gate. He lowered his head, lost in thought.

After a long time, he let out a wry smile, raised his You Luo Cloud, and flew towards the Headmaster Peak.aking Wu Youdao give up pursuing him. Now he is a Nascent Soul cultivator, while Wu Youdao is only at the middle stage of the Golden Core. At gatherings of Nascent Souls, Wu Youdao can only stand on t...
