Chapter 664: Pingbo Port
tting on a stone by the road. His straw sandals were full of holes, and his coarse cloth clothes were patched everywhere. His face and hands were black with dirt, his eyes vacant, and his hair, unwash...Xingguo.
Pingbo Port is a small human nation under the control of a force. It has abundant resources and its people live and work in peace and contentment. Qin Sang settled the old witch doctor in Xinguo, a large city, to allow him to enjoy his retirement years, and sealed off the old witch doctor's memories about him.

Qin Sang did not head straight for Pingbo Harbor. The black coffin on his back was too conspicuous. If he encountered a cultivator with higher cultivation than him, it would be easy for them to see through the Du Han inside the coffin.
Along the way, I deliberately avoided other cultivators. However, this wouldn't work in Pingbo Harbor. There are quite a few cultivators at the Dan Formation stage in Pingbo Harbor, and it is said that there is even an Nascent Soul ancestor sitting in town.
By this point, it would have been possible to kill Du Han, but Qin Sang wasn't prepared to let him go so easily.
Although the first half of the Heavenly Yin Corpse Classic could only create corpses from Foundation Establishment cultivators, Qin Sang was still planning to try it on Du Han. If it didn't work, he would just give up.
Raising corpses requires Earthly Sha Qi, and although he still has some Yin Magnetic Flask left on him, it's not nearly enough to refine a living corpse.
The Qi of Di Sha is not common; it can only be heard about in Ping Bo Port.
Qin Sang planned to first carve out a cave dwelling in the wilderness, placing the black coffin inside before entering the city to inquire about news. However, outside Pingbo Harbor, every inch of land was precious, and large and small spiritual veins were basically occupied by individuals or sects.

Having no choice, Qin Sang had to leave Pingbo Harbor and found a secluded spirit vein in a desolate mountain range. He could barely carve out a cave dwelling there.
After placing the black coffin down and setting up the forbidden spells and concealment formation, Qin Sang felt light as a feather. He donned a cloak and flew towards Pingbo Harbor.
Before entering Pingbo Port, one is immediately struck by the astonishing sight of ships lining the sea and thousands of sails racing.
Numerous ships covered the sea, stretching as far as the eye could see. The larger ones were incredibly luxurious, with multiple decks reaching high into the sky. One ship was as large as a mountain.
Beside these giant ships, there are some small-looking boats, which are actually not small at all. They are sturdy vessels capable of withstanding storms at sea.
Qin Sang stood far away on the top of a stone peak, gazing out at the sea. A gentle sea breeze blew in his face, bringing with it a faint fishy smell. In the distance, the water and sky blended together seamlessly, and occasionally, one could see cultivators riding their flying artifacts through the air.
However, most of these cultivators either ascended from sea ships or came out of Pingbo Port and boarded a certain sea ship.
Cultivators from the Canglang Sea mostly traveled by boat, even those who had formed their cores. Unless they were in a hurry, core formation stage cultivators rarely flew on magic artifacts over the sea for long periods of time.
First, it is difficult for the Zhenyuan to be sustained. Second, there are many hidden dangers in the open sea, such as hurricanes and sea beasts.
Once in danger, if one's true essence is depleted too much, in the vast and empty deep sea, it would be truly a case of calling out to heaven but receiving no response, and calling out to earth but receiving no answer.

From Xijiang to Pingbo Harbor, Qin Sang wasn't always flying in the air during this journey. When he encountered places with abundant spiritual energy, he would come down to rest for a while and recover his true essence.
Only the Yuan Ying ancestor could fly continuously over the sea for several months.
Ships entered the harbor, and the port was unusually bustling and lively.
While cultivators have storage pouches to hold items, the space is limited. Facing large quantities of goods, they are simply outmatched. Countless goods flowed off the sea vessel like water, and the busy port workers were not only mortals but also low-ranking cultivators, as well as tamed beasts and demon beasts.
To match the massive port was a gigantic city on land.
The scale of this city was unprecedented in Qin Sang's life. Looking from afar, the houses within the city stretched endlessly. In the west city, there was a faint mist, which strangely blocked the line of sight completely.

It was early morning, and the city bustled with people. There were cultivators and mortals alike, and long queues formed at the city gates.
The Xiaohan Domain was divided by various powerful factions. There was no place where so many people could gather. The Seven Great Xiongguan were located on the dangerous edge of the ancient fairy battlefield, and the number of mortals was limited, unable to form such a huge city.

Qin Sang stood on the mountaintop and enjoyed the view before cinching his cloak tightly and using his martial arts to rush towards Pingbo Harbor.
Ordinary people and cultivators were clearly separated, entering the city through different gates. The gate for cultivators was guarded by Foundation Establishment cultivators, a mix of humans and demon races.
"Please wait a moment, friend."
Qin Sang arrived at the city gate and was stopped by a guard. He looked Qin Sang up and down, and with a kind smile said, "Friend, do you have an identity token Or is this your first time coming to Pingbo Port"
"As for me, this is my first time here. I am unfamiliar with what an identity token is."
Qin Sang asked in confusion.
The guard, without any impatience, explained carefully: "Fighting is prohibited within Pingbo Harbor. All cultivators will receive a token to prove their identity. This token not only represents your status but also relates to the size of the area you are allowed to move within the city..."
Only after hearing the guard's explanation did Qin Sang realize that even within the seemingly prosperous Pingbo Harbor, there was a vast difference in status between mortals and cultivators. Even among cultivators, their cultivation levels divided them into ranks of high and low.
Pingbo Port City is roughly divided into four areas.
>
The largest area is the region for mortal life, followed by the area for cultivators in the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining stages. There is no strict boundary between these two areas.
The smallest area is the West City District, which was previously invisible to Qin Sang's naked eye. It is shrouded in mist and only those who have reached the Dan Condensation stage or above, such as Nascent Soul ancestors, are eligible to enter this place. This is the core area of Pingbo Port.
Those whose cultivation is insufficient, must be led by a cultivator of the Core Formation stage before being allowed to enter.
This place is heavily guarded and very quiet.
What's even more remarkable is that it's composed of numerous excellent caves. It turns out that Pingbo Harbor was built on several giant spiritual veins, and the Xicheng District is the location with the most abundant spiritual energy.
Of course, the rent is also very expensive.
The last area is the trading zone for cultivators, located in Beicheng and adjacent to the port outside the city. It can be described as a large-scale marketplace, with guilds and auction houses operating here.
Qin Sang let out a breath after listening, revealing his cultivation.
The guard was slightly startled, then bowed to Qin Sang and said, "Since senior is a Jindan stage cultivator, the badge will be given to you for free. In the future, when entering and leaving Pingbo Port, no spirit stones will be required... Please wait a moment, senior."
Not long after, a guard brought over an insignia representing the status of someone in the Danjie period. Qin Sang played with it for a bit and hung it at his waist before stepping into the city.
The buns here don't know what kind of meat filling is used, there's a fishy smell, and they don't taste good at all.
Qin Sang went straight to the trading district of Beicheng with a disappointed face.
In the city, it is forbidden to reveal one's sacred status casually, one may only walk.
With the token around his waist, Qin Sang had a smooth journey and soon arrived at the trading district.
The trading district's streets were straight and intersected, lined with shops of uniform design on both sides.
Qin Sang slowed down, walking and looking around.
A seemingly unremarkable shop may very well be the facade of a powerful merchant guild. It is said that some of the most renowned human guilds have formed an alliance, known as the Merchant Alliance, whose strength rivals even the top-tier sects.
"The Four Seas Chamber of Commerce..."
Seeing the sign of a shop, Qin Sang's eyes lit up.
He just heard about a few reputable trading guilds, and the Four Seas Guild is one of them.
