After Tian Xiaoding advanced to the Golden Elixir Great Perfection, his weapon refining level has also improved and he is able to refine higher-level weapons.
So, he used the space jade he got from Dao Lingzi's relics to help himself, Ouyang Qing and Zhang Xiaodie upgrade their storage spaces. The storage spaces of Tian Xiao'e and Ou Muyun were upgraded with the help of Ou Muyun. After all, Ou Muyun's weapon refining level is not much worse than Xiao Ding's. The weapon refining technique that Xiao Ding learned was secretly learned from the Ou Muyun family.
As for the senior sister Cheng Yaowei and Lu Tianshuo, Xiao Ding simply gave them the two space jade rings from Dao Lingzi.
Anyway, they are all spiritual weapon-level storage spaces made from space jade as the main material. Even if Xiaoding helped upgrade them, they are still at the same level.
After getting the storage space at the level of spiritual weapons, everyone was very happy. Next, Xiao Ding asked everyone to divide the pile of various spiritual stones, and then each received their own share. Everyone took turns picking out the remaining weapons and armors they liked, and the remaining ones were given to Xiao Ding for safekeeping.
As for the pile of classics, Xiao Ding took the lead in collecting the jade slip engraved with "Notes on Illusion Array Technique". Anyone who wants the other classics can pick them out for himself. If he doesn't like them, he can throw them down. The rest that no one wanted were naturally collected by Xiao Ding.
As for the shiny gold brick, Xiao Ding kept it himself. He didn't want to give it to anyone else.
Among the weapons and armors, there are several spiritual weapon-level ones, and for the time being, none of them can use them. However, Xiao Ding also distributed it equally to everyone. Let them keep it and use it after they advance to the virtual god stage. Or, when you lack spiritual stones, you can exchange them for spiritual stones, which are also worth a lot of money.
All these things that Xiao Ding and others did were done on the Feiyun Shuttle. It didn’t delay everyone’s journey.
Even so, they continued flying forward for more than ten days before arriving at a city called Kunlan City to rest. This Kunlan City belongs to the Kunlan Sect, and Xiao Ding and his party don't know much about this sect.
Fortunately, Xiao Ding and the others were just passing by, so nothing unexpected happened.
After resting in the city for one night, they left Kunlan City the next day and continued on their way.
After flying forward for about half a month, Xiao Ding and the others finally saw the desert in the distance.
However, there is actually a city called Yuling City just on the edge of the desert. According to the residents in the city, this Yuling City is a city under the jurisdiction of the Yuling Sect.
Due to its proximity to the desert, the climate in Yuling City is extremely dry. Most of the items sold in the shops and stalls on both sides of the streets in the city are various materials suitable for use in the desert. For example, various types of water bags, buckets, tents, food, bamboo hats, cloaks, scarves, etc., as well as some highly practical elixirs, weapons, armor, etc.
At the same time, Xiao Ding and others also saw many shops on the street that recycle desert monsters. These shops not only purchase whole monsters, but also recycle important body parts of some monsters, such as meat, claws, teeth, blood, pills, bones, skins, and five internal organs that can be used to make elixirs and medicines. wait.
Moreover, Xiao Ding and the others saw many monks forming groups freely in a square in the city. They got to know each other by actively chatting with other monks, and then formed a hunting team, preparing to go to the desert to hunt monsters in the desert and come back in exchange for spiritual stones.
When Xiao Ding and others passed by this square, someone saw that Xiao Ding and his group were all Golden Core monks, and some of them even took the initiative to strike up a conversation, willing to join Xiao Ding's team. It was obvious that they regarded Xiao Ding and others as a hunting team.
In fact, in addition to Xiao Ding and the others, there were also other golden elixir stage monks on the square. However, most of the Golden Core monks who can come here are not here for hunting. Their purpose is generally the same as Xiao Ding and others, to enter the secret realm of the sand sea.
Since the Sand Sea Secret Realm only limits the cultivation level of the person entering, there is no time limit. Therefore, on Huaxuanzhou, almost everyone
Golden elixir stage monks will come here throughout the year to search for the secret realm of the sand sea in the desert to obtain high-yield resources.
Since there are no places like Soul Burial Mountain where monsters and resources are concentrated on Huaxuan Continent, the Sand Sea Secret Realm has become an important source of various cultivation resources on Huaxuan Continent.
This is also an important reason why the Golden Core Stage monks on Huaxuan Continent often come to the Western Desert.
The purpose of Xiao Ding and others was also to go to the secret realm of the sand sea, so he did not agree to others joining.
After resting in the city for a night, they replenished some supplies needed in the desert, and then they explored the city for information about the Sea of Death and the Secret Realm of the Sand Sea.
Originally, Xiao Ding planned to buy a map of the Sea of Death Desert. As a result, he visited several shops on the street and couldn't buy anything.
The reason is very simple, mainly because the desert is vast, the environment is harsh, and there are many dangers. No one can travel across the entire desert. Moreover, the Sea of Death Desert is a highly mobile desert. Even if the map was drawn at that time, after a period of time, the terrain markers here will be changed due to the movement of the dunes. Even the routes that have been taken in the desert will be buried by the yellow sand within a few days.
Therefore, no one can completely draw the map and terrain of this large desert. Even if I drew it at the time and compared it with the drawing later, I still couldn't find the annotations on the drawing. Read the book
In addition, according to the information obtained by Xiao Ding and others, some powerful person has imposed a no-fly ban on the Sea of Death Desert. In the desert, one can only walk, but cannot wield a sword or wield a sword. Royal weapon flight. This further increases the difficulty of traveling through the desert.
As for those low-level monks who want to enter the desert, most of them will hire a local with rich experience in desert survival as a guide to help them lead the way or guide them on how to avoid risks in the desert.
As for these local guides, their cultivation level is generally slightly higher than that of ordinary low-level monks, and they have many experiences in the desert. Even if they cannot find the previous path, they can clearly judge the correct direction, predict the weather conditions in the desert in advance, and avoid the territories of certain high-level monsters.
When Xiao Ding and others were inquiring about the news, someone suggested that Xiao Ding hire a guide, and also took the initiative to recommend a certain well-known guide to Xiao Ding.
However, Xiao Ding refused directly.
For Xiao Ding, he does not lack experience in crossing the desert. I remember that when he traveled to the ancient Song Dynasty, he once rode alone across the great desert at Lop Nur on Earth in order to rescue his sister Tian Xiaoe. At that time, he was only in the early stages of Qi training and had not learned any powerful spells. He was just slightly stronger than ordinary people.
At that time, he relied on his own survival ability and even rescued Su Lanlan and another princess from another country in the desert. It was at that time that he met his adopted sister Su Lanlan for the first time, and from then on the two experienced an unforgettable love together.
In addition, when Xiao Ding and Ouyang Qing were on Earth, before they traveled to the Song Dynasty, they were both soldiers. In the army, they learned many basic skills for survival in the wild. As for identifying directions, it was simply too childish for the two of them.
Yuling City is located due east of the Sea of Death Desert. If you can't find the path after entering the desert, you only need to keep walking towards the east, and you can get out of the desert area.
Therefore, Xiao Ding did not plan to find any additional guides. Instead, he took everyone to buy more than 20 camels at the livestock market in the city. ap..
Since it is impossible to fly with swords and weapons in the Sea of Death Desert. So, riding a camel and walking in the desert is still very necessary.
Although it is said that for cultivators, even walking in the desert will run faster than a camel, it still requires consuming one's own spiritual power. If there is nothing urgent, it will be more effortless to ride a camel.
There were seven people in Xiao Ding's party, but he bought more than 20 camels at once. The main purpose is to enter
After entering the desert, you can replace the ride.
At the livestock market in Yuling City, Xiao Ding saw not only camels for sale, but also merchants selling monster beasts.
The monsters sold by these merchants are not very aggressive monsters, but some gentle beasts. For example, the Shayuan Ji looks like a horse but has half hoofs, and the Shayuan Donkey Camel looks like both a camel and a donkey... These rare species are all monster species unique to Tiankun Planet. They have monster blood, but they have been captured and domesticated by humans since they were young.
Therefore, they have stronger bodies and physical strength than ordinary horses and camels, but they will not actively attack humans. However, although they are monsters, they cannot cultivate to a high level because they are controlled by humans. Otherwise, humans would not be able to control them.
Although Xiao Ding and others saw these strange beasts, they did not buy them. It's not that Xiao Ding is reluctant to spend more spiritual stones, but he feels that riding a camel into the desert is enough for people like him, and there is no need to buy those exotic beasts.
After making sufficient preparations in Yuling City, Xiao Ding and his party rode on camels and left Yuling City, heading towards the great desert in the west.
(At the end of the previous chapter, I specifically issued a temporary suspension statement, but in the past few days, I accidentally discovered that some channels and platforms deleted the author statement while reprinting my book. There is no way, today I have to reiterate it again in the text: Due to work reasons, the author needs to obtain an important certificate. In the next six months or so, he will need to use his free time to study some courses to prepare for this exam. Therefore, during this period During the time, I am unable to update normally every day. I hope all book friends will forgive me! Tianer is deeply sorry for this, but this book is not just a eunuch. After I finish the past few months and pass the certificate examination, I will continue to write this until it is finished.)
