Chapter 359: The End of the Northern Desert, the Yellow Springs Sand Sea

The extreme of the Northern Desert, the Yellow Spring Sand Sea.

As the name suggests, it is the extreme point of the Northern Desert.

If the entire Vast World is spread out flat, you will find that the entire Vast World is divided into two by a Yellow Spring Storm.

Dongzhou, Xiyu, Nanguo, the Southern Continent where the Northern Desert is located, and the East Sea and the South Sea together form the southern side of the Vast World.

The Northern Continent where the Spiritual Mountain, the Demon Realm, and the Monster Realm are located, as well as the West Sea and the North Sea, form the northern area of ​​the Vast World.

The area divided by the Yellow Spring Storm is called the Azure Abyss Sea, which intercepts the possibility of creatures below the Transformation Realm wanting to cross. Ordinary Jindan creatures can only travel back and forth between the two places during the few days when the Yellow Spring Storm is weak.

On land, there are also areas similar to the Azure Abyss Sea.

That is the so-called Yellow Spring Sand Sea.

This place is located at the extreme of the Northern Desert, almost across the entire Northern Desert, like a yellow wall of sighs that makes people sigh.

Because it relies on the Northern Desert and its own Yellow Spring Storm, this place is covered by sandstorms all year round.

After being tempered by the Yellow Spring Storm for who knows how many years, the sandstorm here is extremely powerful. Every grain of sand is extremely hard, and every grain is comparable to the fifth-level spiritual gold!

After being blessed by the Yellow Spring Storm, the speed of these yellow sands can easily surpass the escape light of the Yuanying cultivators. Even the space will be pierced under the overwhelming, so this place is even more dangerous than the Abyss Sea!

Even if the Transformation God cultivator wants to cross it, it is extremely difficult. If you are not careful, you will be beaten into a sieve by the overwhelming sandstorm, or your body will be torn apart by the space cracks, or you will be blown away by the chaotic space turbulence.

But there are opportunities in danger.

Although the sandstorm here is dangerous, it is also a gold mountain.

The quality of the yellow sand tempered by the Yellow Spring Storm is not inferior to the fifth-level spiritual gold, and it is also very useful for the refiner.

Even if you only get one grain, it is enough for ordinary Qi Refining cultivators to have no worries about food and drink for decades, and even have the hope of building a foundation!

Since the Yellow Spring Sand Sea is so large, some Yellow Spring sand will always be blown out of the Yellow Spring Sand Sea. Therefore, near the Yellow Spring Sand Sea, there are gathering points for monks, and the shops here specialize in the business of gold diggers.

Around the "gold rush", the monks in this desert also staged a series of sad love, hate and separation.

So this place gave Zhang Wei the feeling that he was in the American West Wilderness during the gold rush.

If it weren't for the fact that the people here were not cowboys, but monks, and the architectural style was completely different from that of a western town, Zhang Wei would have thought he had traveled through time again!

Since leaving the Questioning Heart Sect, Zhang Wei has been heading north, and after several transfers of the teleportation array, he came to the depths of the northern desert and came to a market near the Yellow Spring Sand Sea.

The market area is not large, mainly based on a third-level spiritual vein. The strongest is only a cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core and a spirit beast demon king in the early stage of the Golden Core.

However, Zhang Wei did not intend to show off his power in front of others. He just restrained his breath and went into the market, and found an inn to stay in.

In the room, Zhang Wei recalled the relevant information about the secret realm in his mind.

According to Nengshan's memory, when he came to the Western Regions from Lingshan Buddhist Kingdom, he accidentally discovered a fragment of a secret realm in the sand sea because he needed to cross the Yellow Spring Sand Sea.

After a simple investigation, Nengshan determined that this was a fragment of a sixth-level secret realm, and its value was comparable to that of a fifth-level one.

However, it was during the period of the strong Yellow Spring wind, and Nengshan was in a hurry to return to the Western Regions to report the will of Lingshan to Tianlong Bodhisattva, so he had no time to find out. He had to mark it down in a hurry to prepare for future exploration. As a result, he was delayed until now, and finally gave it to Zhang Wei.

As for why a fragment of a sixth-level secret realm was in this extremely dangerous Yellow Spring Sand Sea...

According to the information Zhang Wei learned from Jianmei Gong and others.

The entire Haomiao Realm is a huge star.

Compared with the Vast World, many star "planes" in the boundless void are so weak that even those who claim to be kings and ancestors in their worlds and claim to be immortal kings and gods may not be the opponents of a mortal in their Vast World.

So it stands to reason that the gravity of the Vast World itself has almost reached a terrifying level, and it can easily swallow up any so-called plane that is close to a certain range.

According to Jianmei Gong and others, the secret space created by the Refining Void Venerable is actually a celestial body with imperfect rules. Without the maintenance of the Refining Void Venerable, these celestial bodies will eventually go to extinction.

However, in Zhang Wei's opinion, extinction is actually captured by the huge gravity of the Vast World. Without the intervention of the Refining Void Venerable, the wall of the entire secret space will eventually be torn apart by the Vast World, and then become a part of the Vast World, completing the so-called cycle.

And there will be some strong materials or lucky ones among these celestial bodies. By chance, they escaped the fate of being torn apart by gravity and eventually fell into various places in the Vast World.

For example, the snow meteors in the Snow Country were probably formed for this reason.

Maybe in the Vast World, there are "travelers" like me, and even have cheats with the blessing of the luck of the world I originally lived in!

As for this fragment, it is probably a star comparable to the sixth level that was captured and torn apart by the Vast World and fell here.

This situation is not uncommon. In fact, there are examples of secret realms appearing in the Huangquan Sand Sea every once in a while. However, most of them are located inside the sand sea, unless they are Nascent Souls or gods with special magical powers. Great power, otherwise it would be difficult to get deep into it and get this opportunity.

But this is not a problem for Zhang Wei.

Although his second body's current cultivation level is still at the peak of Nascent Soul.

But his physical body is comparable to a sixth-level magic weapon.

In addition, the Chongming Dust Sweeper temporarily borrowed from Chi Lian can reduce part of the power of the sandstorm, so although the sandstorm is dangerous, he has the ability to survive it safely.

It's just that this place is still some distance away from the area where the secret realm in Neng Shan's memory is. After traveling for so long, Zhang Wei is going to rest in this inn for two days.

However, while Zhang Wei was resting, the heads of several large shops in Fang City also walked out of the city lord's mansion.

They had previously discussed matters related to the upcoming Yellow Sand Ceremony with Master Minghui, the master of the market here.

The so-called Yellow Sand Ceremony is actually a sacrificial activity held by the immortal cultivator community in a nearby area for the coming of the Huangquan storm to weaken. It can be regarded as a local custom.

However, after the Yellow Sand Ceremony, the Huangquan Storm will weaken, and the amount of Huangquan Sand nearby will also increase.

Therefore, there will be many lucky people who get Huangquan Sand and their business will be much easier.

Therefore, these people are quite interested in celebrations such as the Yellow Sand Ceremony, and decided to take this opportunity to take out some items that have been in stock for a promotion.

After discussing relevant matters, the store managers also made an appointment to have a chat at the best restaurant in the city.

After drinking for three rounds, Li Zhuo, the shopkeeper of the local Shunde Zhai, stared with blurred eyes and burped from the wine and asked: "By the way, have you guys noticed that the trading volume of high-end spiritual materials in our city these days?" It’s increased a lot?”

Huang Song, who runs a magic weapon business, thought for a while, patted his forehead and said: "Brother Li, what you said is really a bit... In the past, third-level high-level spiritual materials were rarely seen once every few years. These days, I only have one in my shop." I received three pieces!

There is even a piece of amber silver fir tree heart, which is a good material for refining fourth-level magic weapons! In exchange for this treasure, I gave him my treasured third-level top-grade black iron quicksand blade! "

Someone at the banquet exclaimed: "Hey, did you sell that money-losing thing of yours? It's not easy, it's not easy..."

"Isn't it...it's not easy to find someone who has been taken advantage of!" Huang Song said happily.

He didn't lie at the time. The third-grade high-grade black iron quicksand blade was indeed powerful enough. It was as changeable as quicksand. After it was damaged, it could absorb the iron sand in the desert and repair itself. It was a top-notch piece that would never break. magic weapon.

But it is also a huge burden on the user's mana, and even if Zifu uses it later, it can only be used a few times.

In addition, the price is not low. If you have that kind of money, you might as well buy a few high-end talismans!

Therefore, Huang Song did not sell the magic weapon for a long time after acquiring it. After all, all the acquaintances nearby knew the details.

Who wants to buy a piece of crap!

Only by using it to deceive strangers who don't know the goods can we barely sell it to make a living.

That's why Ponderosa is so happy.

Not only did I get rid of a burden, I also got a fourth-level spiritual material, which made me a lot of money!

Hearing Huang Song's words, some shopkeepers also said: "Our family is the same. Even before the Yellow Wind Ceremony, our family's high-level spiritual talismans have been taken away!"

Then several store managers spoke out about their gains during this period, and then they talked to each other!

Everyone’s business has improved!

This is not right!

So Li Zhuo, who had spoken earlier, said: "Do you think there is a fierce dragon crossing the river here? I heard from comrades in Fangshi next door that their business was booming some time ago, and there were several people holding high-powered weapons. The high-level spiritual materials have come to trade! At first, they thought there was a high-level secret realm nearby, and they spent a lot of manpower to search for thousands of miles but found nothing. Then they wondered if there was a fat sheep passing by! "

Huang Song slapped the table and said: "This is really possible! Although the people who come to the stores under my command are not the same, the timing is too coincidental, as if they are all gathered together, and if they are not kept together, they are disguised. Ha, they are quite cautious. !”

"Then shall we..."

The shopkeeper said loudly, and at the same time made a gesture on his neck with his hand.

The people in the shops in Fangshi work part-time as robbery repairers. This kind of thing is basic in the vast desert. If you are a local, it is not easy to do it. After all, you can't see you when you look up.

But if they are outsiders...even if things don't go well, as long as things go well, this vast desert will help them deal with all the tails!

"Being able to trade in disguise means that this person's cultivation level is not very strong. Even if he has the cultivation level of Zifu, he probably won't be much stronger. As long as we check the strangers who come to Fang City during this period, we can probably find out This kid!"

Someone said at this time and looked at Li Zhuo tentatively.

This topic was brought up by him. At the same time, the other party also had the highest status among the shopkeepers. Behind him was a Li family with five golden elixir masters in charge!

So they wanted to see what Li Zhuo meant.

I saw Li Zhuo calmly picking up the tea cup and taking a slow sip, and then said: "The Yellow Sand Ceremony is coming soon, we can't give eye drops to Master Minghui at this time!"

Just when everyone thought that Li Zhuo was just bringing up a topic and didn't want to cause trouble, he changed the subject again.

"Do it more efficiently!"

Several people were startled, and then showed a smile that could only be understood but not expressed in words.

"Hehe..."

However, what they didn't know was that on the other side of the restaurant, their conversation was heard clearly by a young man!

"These bastards!"

In the box, Ji Chen put down his hand on his ear and cursed inwardly.

Just now, when he finished shopping and was about to go back to his place to rest, he suddenly saw Li Zhuo and several other well-known local shopkeepers walking out of the city lord's mansion.

So he got up and planned to eavesdrop to see if there was any information that would be helpful to his future.

He didn't take the formation in the restaurant seriously.

He once practiced a magical power that was said to be derived from the power of the wind-hearing ear. The cover of the second-level formation was not enough to stop him from deliberately eavesdropping.

Unexpectedly, this listening caused trouble!

Just heard that these guys were targeting me!

That's right, he is the one who traded a lot of high-level spiritual materials these days!

The fool who traded the Black Iron Quicksand Blade in Huang Song's mouth is also him!

Ji Chen sighed: "Alas... I'm still not cautious enough. I thought I could rest assured by changing a few more identities. I didn't expect that these guys have such a good relationship with each other. They shouldn't fight each other and want to strangle each other to dominate the market?! Mistake, mistake!"

"But fortunately, these guys probably never thought that I, the young master, will be blessed by heaven. I have heard your plan clearly a long time ago. I have to run away as soon as possible!"

If you want to do it, do it. Ji Chen took action immediately.

First, he went back to the inn where he stayed. After packing up his things, he was ready to leave. However, when he was about to go out, he bumped into a handsome young man who was walking out of the door next door to try the local specialties.

"Ouch!"

Instantly, Ji Chen felt as if he had hit a wall. Although his second-level body was not weak, he was still pushed to the ground by the reaction force.

"Hiss——"

Ji Chen sucked in a breath of cold air, touched his sore and swollen shoulder, and thought to himself, could his arm be swollen?

"Are you okay?"

A caring voice came, and Ji Chen was startled and raised his head to see a handsome silver-haired young man looking at him.

At the same time, he reached out and pulled him up.

"Young man, be careful next time. You only bumped into me. If you bumped into someone else, you would probably suffer." Zhang Wei smiled, then patted his shoulder and left.

Ji Chen looked at Zhang Wei's back strangely.

What a strange person.

I can't feel any fluctuations of mana from him, but he gives him a feeling that this person is definitely not an ordinary person!

Especially that body...Could he be a high-level cultivator who hides his cultivation just to experience life?

It is said that some Jindan cultivators will deliberately restrain their cultivation and enter the world to experience the mortal world in order to survive the Yuanying Heavenly Tribulation!

At this time, Ji Chen suddenly felt that his shoulder was no longer sore and swollen. After moving it, he felt that his arm did not look injured at all. He immediately felt that his guess was correct.

However, he did not rush to get close to him.

He just bumped into someone, and the person was generous and did not care about him, but he could not really force the relationship!

In addition, he was in danger now, so Ji Chen did not plan to try this opportunity. Instead, he bowed slightly in the direction where Zhang Wei left and left.

"Interesting kid."

After sensing Ji Chen's movements with his mind, Zhang Wei smiled and stopped paying attention to the matter. Instead, he told the waiter to arrange a good meal for him and prepare to start cooking!

In this way, Zhang Wei stayed in the market for two days.

After eating and drinking, he got up and plunged into the Yellow Spring Storm.

The violent sand and gravel hit Zhang Wei's magic shield like steel needles, and almost instantly scraped off a layer of the shield that Zhang Wei had supported.

At this rate, Zhang Wei's magic power would only be enough to last for a month. If he were an ordinary Yuanying peak cultivator, it would probably be difficult to last even seven days!

In addition, the violent sandstorm here suppressed the divine consciousness, and it was very difficult to find the right path here. If you are not careful, you will deviate from the direction and get lost in the sandstorm, and eventually be scraped into a pile of minced meat by the Huangquan sandstorm.

Not to mention finding a secret realm here.

But Zhang Wei only sacrificed the Chongming Dust Sweeping Dust, a quasi-seventh-level magic weapon!

Several phantoms of Chongming birds flew out of the duster, dancing around Zhang Wei, and turned into a shield to offset almost all the power of the Huangquan sandstorm. Zhang Wei entered the depths of the sand sea easily as if he was in an unmanned place.

"Found it!"

Two days later, Zhang Wei finally found the fragment of the secret realm that Neng Shan had discovered in the yellow sand.

Relying on the power of the duster to comb the space cracks around the outer periphery of the secret realm fragment, Zhang Wei successfully entered the interior of the secret realm fragment.

As soon as he came in, Zhang Wei felt a strong spiritual energy coming towards him, and then he saw a scene of green mountains and green waters, and a pleasant scenery of a fairyland on earth.

The secret realm is not big, only a thousand miles in radius.

But there are many high-quality spiritual plants growing in the secret realm, and there are even species that Zhang Wei has never heard of!

If ordinary cultivators encounter this situation, they will probably scratch their heads. After all, many spiritual plants are different in the way they are picked, and the medicinal properties will be lost if they are not careful.

But Zhang Wei has the Bai Ze Zhaozhen Mirror, and he easily got all the medicinal properties and picking and preservation methods of all the spiritual plants he had never seen before, and then picked these spiritual medicines one by one.

Among them, what Zhang Wei is most interested in is a sixth-level spiritual plant called the Mani Dan Tree.

This spiritual plant bears a fruit every ten thousand years. Jindan cultivators can split their golden elixir in advance when they take it, so that Jindan cultivators have double golden elixir, in other words, double mana!

And after the Nascent Soul, the second Nascent Soul can be nurtured based on the split golden elixir!

It is a kind of rare treasure comparable to the Gu Ling Baotai that Zhang Wei got at the beginning!

But it is only useful for Jindan cultivators. If the Nascent Soul True Lord takes it, he cannot have a second Nascent Soul.

But it can be used by Cong Yun and Zhang Baozang.

After putting away all these elixirs, Zhang Wei randomly opened up a cave in the secret realm and began his retreat.
