The fire-opal centipede trembled in Qin Sang's palm, clearly feeling the terrifying pressure from the flying monkey.
The flying monkeys here are not only different in color, but their strength is far superior to the flying monkeys in the trial grounds. They are not even on the same level.
Qin Sang suspected that even a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage would probably have a hard time surviving if they entered the magma lake at this time.
Fortunately, they seem to be bound here by some unknown force, always active on the lava lake and showing no intention of venturing out.
In Qin Sang's eyes, the lava lake before him was like a bomb that could explode at any moment. Once these flame monkeys rushed out, if they were allowed to run amok, those who entered the ancient cultivator's mansion would probably suffer heavy casualties.
Qin Sang exerted every ounce of his strength to conceal his aura, fearing that the flying monkey would detect even the slightest trace. He secretly glanced at the vines in the center of the lake.
He had never seen such a vine before. In the ancient books he had looked at on Pagoda Peak, there were many types of immortal vines that had been reborn from fire, but none seemed to match this one.
The most striking thing was the golden fruit that grew on this vine. It shimmered like a Buddhist rosary bead.
The skin was dotted with specks, resembling stars, and had a translucent quality. You could faintly see inside the golden fruit, where it seemed not to be flesh, but rather flowing liquid, though not quite like any you'd seen before. It was very strange.
There was no intoxicating fragrance, nor any medicinal aroma that cleared the mind.
Qin Sang even found it difficult to determine if it was truly a spirit fruit.
After much deliberation, Qin Sang couldn't find anything similar in his memory. However, since it could grow in this place and was protected with great care by the owner of the courtyard, it must be extraordinary.
Unfortunately, with so many flying monkeys guarding the vines, Qin Sang currently doesn't have the strength to pick the golden fruit.

However, perhaps there are other ways to avoid the flying monkey's perception and steal the fruit, but it requires careful planning. It's certainly impossible to do right now.
Qin Sang sighed inwardly, could only choose to give up, and leave this place first.
He decided against taking any further action, attempting to hide the courtyard or anything like that.
At this point, the ancient Immortal's Residence has been taken over by the Skull Gate. In the future, there will be wave after wave of cultivators coming to explore and seek treasures. Any action would be like drawing unnecessary attention, only raising suspicion and exposing the courtyard's secrets. It's better to let the abandoned courtyard be openly displayed before everyone.

Qin Sang thought for a moment, shook his head secretly, and took a deep look at the fruit, imprinting its shape in his mind. He decided to check ancient books after returning to find out the origin and use of the golden fruit before making a decision.

Since no one has discovered the ancient well for so long, there shouldn't be any need to worry about someone cracking the secrets of the courtyard in a short period of time.
The Fire Jade Centipede's ability allows it to directly sense the presence of spiritual beings, enabling it to bypass illusions and find the passage through the array by chance.
This kind of aberrant insect is extremely rare in the world, and it's not easy for a second one to appear.
Thinking of these things, Qin Sang shrank her neck and slowly retreated up the stone steps.
Just as he was about to turn and leave, for some reason, a strong feeling of unease arose in his heart. He frowned and looked at the lava lake. The flying monkeys were as usual and seemed undisturbed...
The next moment, Qin Sang's expression suddenly changed drastically. He abruptly turned around and stared intently at a spot on the stone steps behind him.
Somebody!
And his strength was terrifying, completely bypassing his perception!
The other party didn't know how long they had been following him. Qin Sang hadn't noticed anything amiss, and now that he realized the other party's presence, it was very likely intentional.
His palm quickly reached for the mustard seed pouch. Just as he took out the Xuan Yin Lei, he suddenly became unable to move.
Then, starting from the palm, arms, upper body, legs...
The other party hadn't appeared yet, Qin Sang was completely immobilized, becoming a statue with only his head able to move. His physical body was restricted, but his soul remained unharmed. The Ebony Sword was not restricted, but Qin Sang didn't choose to expose it.
Qin Sang's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

The air was unusually hot, yet he felt freezing cold!
At that moment, Qin Sang's gaze landed on a figure slowly emerging from the shadows. Upon seeing this person's missing leg, Qin Sang felt an indescribable bitterness in his mouth.
No wonder he could easily conceal it from his own senses.
No wonder I have no power to resist.
It's him!
This person is one of the five cultivators in the Jindan period who entered the ancient ruins, the Earth Deficiency Elder!
"Qin Sang greets his seniors…"
Qin Sang's lips twitched, and she spoke in a hoarse voice, "Junior is physically limited and unable to bow. Please don't blame me..."
Qin Sang never expected that the missing elder wouldn't explore the four Heavenly Peaks but would appear here instead.

It's a blessing in disguise, having an empty house due to a missing elderly person rather than facing unknown presences within.
But what bothered Qin Sang was that he didn't know why the old man was following him, and when had he been followed by him
>
Outside the ruins of the ancient Xiu clan, Qin Sang saw Ge Que elder for the first time. Over these twenty years, he had rarely left the Tianjing secret realm besides a few missions and was impossible to have offended this person.
He probably hasn't killed any of his descendants either.
Qin Sang racked his brains, but came up with nothing.
To everyone's surprise, the old man ignored Qin Sang and turned his gaze to Qin Sang's other hand. With a light gesture, he beckoned, and the fire jade centipede broke free from Qin Sang's grasp and flew into the old man's palm.
In the hands of the elderly man, there was also a centipede. It was the same fiery red in color as Qin Sang's fire jade centipede, but on its back ran a fine, dark gold line. Its body was also a circle larger than Qin Sang's, making it appear much more imposing.
Two centipedes met and immediately entangled themselves. Then, the golden-backed centipede easily suppressed the fire jade centipede.
Qin Sang's eyes widened, and suddenly he understood why the old man of Di Que had come to him.
He had previously found that fire jade centipedes also have distinct sexes, with significant differences in body shape. The most obvious difference is on the back, where the female fire jade centipede has a fine dark gold line on its back, which serves as a distinguishing feature.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
Qin Sang was merely a male centipede, while the one in Di Que Elder's hand was just a female.
Just as the fire jade centipede can detect spirits, when male and female meet, they can also sense each other. However, Qin Sang did not find anything unusual about his fire jade centipede, very likely because the old man from Di Que had severed the connection.
How could this be such a coincidence
Could it be that both of these centipedes are his
Just as Qin Sang was racking his brains, desperately trying to find a way out, the Earth-Lack Elder gently stroked the two centipedes, then looked up and said to Qin Sang with a smile, "Thanks, little brother, for your help. The old man has finally found this little guy. Before this, the old man thought that the little guy had been killed by the clueless Cloud Beast. Every time he thought about it, he was heartbroken."
“I apologize, senior,” Qin Sang said in an unusually dry voice. “I happened to pick up this centipede by chance and didn’t know if it belonged to the senior who fell into the mine…” text you'd like translated!The one-legged divine bird was startled, its expression changing slightly. "There were no warning messages from elsewhere, could it be..."The frogfish relayed another messa...
