"How did fellow Taoist come here?" Master Huang Ye pulled himself back from the sad past and turned to ask.
"Alas~ I had the same experience as you. I was also hunting for treasure with my friends, but I accidentally touched a formation and woke up in this endless desert.
When I was looking for my way back, I encountered a group of overwhelming winged scorpions and more than a dozen hurricanes. I was lucky enough to escape. Another friend's life or death was uncertain now! "Liangchen sighed.
"I searched around for a long time and came across a caravan. I followed them quietly before arriving here." Liangchen took a sip of tea and continued.
"Winged poisonous scorpions? Sky-raising hurricanes?" Master Huang Ye's expression changed when he heard this, "You must have encountered the scorpion tide and sand waves in the endless desert! If you can escape, you are lucky!"
"A narrow escape from death! A narrow escape from death!" Liangchen recalled the scene at that time and said with a little fear.
"How did you know that I came to the Lost Forest?" Master Huang Ye seemed to suddenly remember something.
"General Guniu told me." Liangchen replied.
"So that's it. He was the one who let me into the city when I came here." Huang Yezhen's face was astonished.
"I'm here for the first time. Can you tell me about the situation here?" Liangchen asked.
"Then let me briefly explain that this city is called Tianhuo City. It belongs to the edge of the endless desert. It is located in the northwest of the desert. There are also several small cities such as Luanye City and Luojiu City nearby." As he spoke, Huang Ye took out a few small towns. A map was spread out on the table. I didn't recognize any of the characters on the map. In some places, there was a bull's head, in some places, there was a goshawk, as well as unknown monsters and patterns. He pointed at the map and continued to explain. .
"This endless desert is also divided into many tribes. The big ones include the Swallowing Heaven Tribe, the Feipeng Tribe, and the Floating Light Tribe. Our Tianhuo City belongs to one of the medium tribes - the Bull Demon Tribe. The tribe believes in the power of the flaming Bull Demon. It is said that it was founded The leader of this tribe used to ride a flaming bull demon, and you can see it is this place on the map."
He pointed to an area marked with a bull's head on the map.
"No wonder." Liangchen thought of the cow bone helmets worn by the city guards and the cow head symbol on the token.
"The big city of the Bull Demon Tribe is Roaring City. If you rent a camel beast, it will take about a year to get there." Master Huang Ye pointed at a big city on the map and introduced.
"Helping beast? Is it the kind of monster with double humps on its back?" Liangchen asked.
"Exactly, this beast runs in the desert like flying on the flat ground. It is the most commonly used monster beast here to transport goods. Of course, there are other flying monster beasts, but the transportation of goods is much worse, and it is not suitable for long-distance running." Huang Yezhenren Answered one by one.
"Then where is this place?" Liangchen asked, pointing to the place where a scorching sun was drawn in the center of the map.
"This is Twilight City! The holy city of the Bull Demon Tribe, and also the holy city of the entire Endless Desert!" Huang Ye said.
"The entire holy city in the desert?" Liangchen didn't understand.
"Yes, Twilight City is in the center of this desert. The reason why it is a holy city is because there is a spring in the city. The spring water flows all year round and has never dried up.
It wouldn't be unusual if it were an ordinary spring, but the aura of the spring water flowing here is compelling. The water aura is rich and is a necessary material for refining many magic weapons.
It is said that long-term drinking can prolong life and lead to immortality, so this spring is also called the Spring of Youth! "Master Huang Ye explained slowly.
"Fountain of Youth! Is the spiritual spring used for the tea in this bowl the spring water of the Fountain of Youth?" Liangchen heard the name again and picked up the teacup.
"Exactly!" Huang Ye said with a hint of pride.
"In order to compete for this spring, several major tribes fought and suffered heavy losses. In the end, no one could monopolize this spring, so each tribe reached an agreement to allocate a sphere of influence in the city to share this spring. This ended the fighting."
"There are still such past events!" Liangchen exclaimed. This fountain of youth always sounded familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.
He was thinking about it, and suddenly his heart moved. He remembered that when he first arrived at Magic Dragon City, Mr. Ye seemed to have said that the Fountain of Youth was one of the three spiritual springs along with the Leopard Tu Spring in the Thorn Forest and the Yuhua Spring in the Western Regions!
"Since Mr. Ye has heard of the Endless Desert, isn't this place not far from Zhongzhou?" He thought.
"I wonder if you have ever heard of Zhongzhou?" Liangchen asked with a hint of expectation on his face.
"Zhongzhou?" Master Huang Ye lowered his head and thought for a while, as if he had found nothing. "I have never heard of Zhongzhou. Why do you ask this?"
"I'm also asking about it." Liangchen smiled bitterly when he saw this. It seemed that he was overthinking it.
After all, this spring water is also sold outside. As for how far it can be sold and how many places it passes through, who knows!
"By the way, Master, with this spiritual spring here, there should naturally be a place with dense spiritual energy." Liangchen said.
"It is said that the place where the spring is located has dense spiritual energy, but there is no place where people like us can go." Huang Yezhen laughed lightly and shook his head.
"I see that the real person's mana seems to have suffered a serious loss. I don't know why? Although the spiritual energy here is thin, as long as there are enough elixirs, it can always be restored after spending more time. Is it possible that there are not even elixirs here?" Liangchen asked.
"Oh, that's true. The spiritual energy here is too thin and is not suitable for legal cultivation at all. Even if there are people with gifted spiritual roots in the tribe, they will flee elsewhere to find a place to practice, so this place is basically all about physical cultivation."
"If you see Dharma cultivators appearing, you are not from the Endless Desert."
"Because of this, there are no elixirs suitable for legal practitioners here. Most of the elixirs refined by alchemists are bone-tempering and body-refining elixirs. Occasionally, there are elixirs that contain a trace of spiritual power, but they are a drop in the bucket and have little effect." His face darkened instantly due to his own state of affairs.
"No wonder he ended up like this. Fortunately, I have cultivated both body and law now, and there are enough elixirs in the storage bag. There is no need to consider the issue of elixirs for the time being." Liangchen thought to himself after hearing what he said.
"But from what he said, the journey back must be difficult, otherwise he wouldn't be stuck here forever, spending the rest of his life in vain." Liangchen also felt a little worried in his heart.
"Don't think about it so much, just do the things in front of you first." He shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
"Master, I still have tributes to the city guard that I haven't handed over, and I'm short of twenty star stones. I wonder if you have any in this shop?" Liangchen asked.
"Yes." The real person said as he stood up and left. After a moment, he came up, holding a wooden box in his hand, placed it on the table, and opened it gently.
Liangchen felt his eyes light up, and pieces of blue stones flashing with starlight appeared in front of him!
