The vast Gobi desert stretches as far as the eye can see, scorched by the sun, eroded by wind and sand, and desolate with all the birds flying away and no trace of human beings everywhere.
Jiang Yue covered her face with a white cloth, leaving only her black and white eyes exposed, walking alone on the Gobi Desert against the flying sand and rocks.
Under the gravel, the bones were half buried, and a scorpion emerged from the skull's eye socket.
Jiang Yuebai shook off the yellow sand on his head, narrowed his eyes slightly, and his spiritual energy quickly condensed and compressed between his eyebrows.
Whoosh!
The wind blade flew, the skeleton exploded, and the scorpion was frightened and fled.
[You use the 'Qianba Wanxiang Hand' to activate the 'Edge Wind Kill', but the speed is slow and the effect is poor. It is not as good as the hand rubbing wind blade technique. The proficiency of the Thousand Leaves Wanxiang Hand is +3, and the proficiency of the Blade Wind Kill is +1]
Jiang Yuebai ignored the taunts on the panel and continued to walk alone in the Gobi Desert. She used talismans to suppress her cultivation to the harmless early stage of Qi training, attracting low-level beasts along the way, and continued to practice spiritual spellcasting.
In addition to the high-level spell 'Blade Current Wind Kill', there is also the high-level thunder spell "Five Thunder Zhengfa" that she exchanged in Tianyan Sect, which contains the five thunders of gold, wood, water, fire, earth.
This trip was all the way to the northwest, and it would take five or six days to reach Gobifang City in the pass. It was the last supply station outside the pass in the Quicksand Region. She was not in a hurry, and it was good to practice her spells while walking.
[You cast 'Fire Thunder' with 'Qianye Wanxian Hand', huh~ Your head is smoking, and the spell failed. 】
[You used the 'Qianye Wanxiang Hand' to cast 'Earth Thunder' again. Due to the favorable location, the spell was successfully cast. Qianye Wanxiang Hand proficiency +3, Five Thunder Zhengfa proficiency +1]
[You failed to cast a spell with...]
[You failed to cast a spell with...]
…
[Congratulations, you have successfully started learning "Five Thunder Zhengfa" and entered the first level]
[Congratulations, your "Qianye Wanxiang Hand" successfully broke through and entered the second floor. Girl, grass is growing in your head]
After walking for three days, Jiang Yuebai found a shady place to rest in the dry river. He took out the Xuanbing wine he bought at Chaotianyu and took a sip to cool down.
She is not afraid of the heat, but she feels a little irritated by the heat.
Jiang Yuebai's consciousness sank into the sea of consciousness, and she discovered that the Yunzhi grass in her sea of consciousness had indeed sprouted new buds, and was about to sprout two more leaves.
Jiang Yuebai was looking forward to it when he thought about it. With a pair of divine consciousness leaf hands, he could quickly alternately cast spells.
After she becomes more familiar with spiritual spellcasting, she can continue to practice single-leaf hand spellcasting, and in the future learn the "Spiritual Soul-Generating Thought Technique". The four-leaf hand can cast four completely different spells at the same time, which will definitely be a spectacular scene.
The hard work of more than a month has finally paid off. Now it is much faster to use spiritual consciousness to mobilize the aura of heaven and earth to cast spells directly, but the power of the spell is half compared to the original mobilization of aura from one's own body.
"Consolidate it well in the next few days, practice mobilizing the essence of the five elements from the Five Elements Lotus Platform to cast spells, and you will not be at a disadvantage when encountering strong enemies."
The lotus platform is separated from her body, which is like an external water tank. It allows her to mobilize the five elements of energy to cast spells without passing through the meridians in the body. Moreover, the lotus platform's own characteristics of accelerating spell casting also have an effect on spiritual spellcasting.
The only problem now is that if she casts spells with her spiritual consciousness more than thirty times, she will feel dizzy and mentally weak, and she needs to meditate and rest before she can continue. It is probably because her spiritual soul is not strong enough.
"The power of Yunzhi grass is hidden in the soul. To increase the strength of the soul, the only way is to plunder the original essence of the spiritual grass. However... I am half human and half grass, so maybe I can use human methods to increase the strength of the soul."
After resting for an hour, Jiang Yuebai continued on the road, hunting low-level monsters to practice his spells.
On the evening of the next day, while crossing Huangsha Gorge, they were suddenly attacked by a group of ninth-level Golden-Eyed Eagles. Jiang Yuebai did not fight back with any magic weapon, but kept dodging under the Golden-Eyed Eagles' claws, taking the opportunity to practice the 'Blade-flowing Wind Kill'.
Camel bells jingled, a camel team slowly came from a distance, and the flag of the Mingsha Chamber of Commerce sounded in the wind.
"You look at that female cultivator, she looks so stupid, she can't kill a few golden-eyed eagles in such a long time."
"Her spells are too bad. After a long time of fighting, she knocked out a few eagle hairs."
"Hahaha."
Several late-stage Qi-training monks accompanying him were sitting on camels, taunting and joking, their laughter echoing in the silent Gobi Desert.
Jiang Yuebai's sea of consciousness tightened, and his soul was weak. He immediately stood still, and a dozen golden-eyed eagles around him immediately swooped down with their sharp claws.
Buzz!
The dark red ring of fire swayed silently from Jiang Yuebai's body, and the golden-eyed eagle was instantly burned to ashes.
"Building...Foundation-Building Monk!"
The Qi training guards in the distance were so shocked that they almost fell off their camels. Jiang Yuebai glanced at them lightly and walked straight over.
The manager of the chamber of commerce in the late stage of Qi training hurriedly got off the camel and greeted him respectfully.
"I'm Shitong, I've met my senior."
Jiang Yuebai nodded and glanced at the monks behind the camel team who were shrinking like quails.
"How far is Fangshi from here?"
"It's not far. It's only a day's walk in that direction. If you control a flying magic weapon, you can get there in an hour or two. However, it's the sandy season recently, so you need to fly as low as possible to control a flying magic weapon."
"Thank you."
Jiang Yuebai thanked him and was about to leave, but Shi Tong hurriedly persuaded him to stay.
"Senior, this is your first time to come to the Quicksand Domain to practice, right? The Quicksand Domain has not been peaceful since the Prajna Temple was destroyed a hundred years ago. The sects here have no one to control them, and they are both good and evil."
"Recently, Chiri Palace and Huangshamen are fighting outside the gate. If seniors don't know the way, it's better to go with our Chamber of Commerce, so as not to accidentally enter the battlefield between the two factions and be implicated in vain."
Jiang Yuebai thought for a moment and agreed. The Mingsha Chamber of Commerce was quite famous in the Liusha area, so he could inquire about some things.
Shi Tong was overjoyed. The young master of their Mingsha Chamber of Commerce had been hunting monsters outside the pass recently and had transferred all the people. As a result, the chamber of commerce had no foundation-building monks to guard the camel team.
The closer he got to the battlefield between the two factions, the more uneasy he felt. Meeting Jiang Yuebai at this moment relieved his urgent need.
"Thank you, senior. In addition, I have a merciless request. If you encounter disciples from two factions who intend to rob you on the way, I hope you will come forward to deter them. When you get to Fangshi, I will definitely give you a big gift."
Jiang Yuebai said bluntly: "If there is big trouble, I will leave by myself. Don't blame me for not telling you in advance."
"No, normally there won't be any trouble. There are only two groups of qi-training disciples taking advantage of the situation, and there are very few monks above Foundation Establishment."
Shi Tong gave his camel to Jiang Yuebai and arranged for a female cultivator from the Chamber of Commerce to accompany him.
The camel team was on the road again. The nun was young and very enthusiastic.
"My name is Qin Yao. If you have anything you want to know, senior, you can ask me."
Jiang Yuebai tightened the cloth on his face, "I heard before I came to the Quicksand Area that a spiritual object from heaven and earth appeared here. What happened?"
Qin Yao nodded, "Yes, it was in Prajna Temple. Prajna Temple was destroyed because of this heaven and earth spiritual object."
"Tell me more specifically."
"About one hundred and twenty years ago, the Liusha Region was not a chaotic place at that time. There were some Buddhist and Taoist sects and martial arts sects. Like other regions, the Liusha Region was governed by Prajna Temple. It was not particularly peaceful, but it was not as peaceful as it is now. Such chaos.”
"Later, the spiritual beings of heaven and earth were born in Prajna Temple. It is said that on that day, the sand in the entire Quicksand Region floated from the ground, blooming with golden light, truly covering the sky and the sun. It was so powerful that even the monks in Baipu Region and Muyun Region also I was alarmed. Only a dozen years later, all the major sects in the Quicksand Region suddenly united and destroyed Prajna Temple with thunderous means."
"When the Central Plains Immortal Alliance reacted, Prajna Temple was in ruins. No one survived, and the heaven and earth spiritual object was nowhere to be seen. In recent years, there have been constant battles in the Quicksand Region, and the battles between various sects were mostly because of the heaven and earth spiritual object. rise."
"So that's it." Jiang Yuebai thought thoughtfully, "Then the Scarlet Sun Palace and Huang Shamen that Shi Tong mentioned just now fought over this too?"
Qin Yao said, "They are fighting for the territory of Fengxiang City. There is a small secret realm there. Previously, Shengshui Palace also controlled it. The three factions checked and balanced each other. Half a year ago, Shengshui Palace was destroyed. Now neither Chiri Palace nor Huangshamen can control it. If you don't obey anyone, you'll start a fight."
Jiang Yuebai knew that the Quicksand Territory was in chaos, but he didn't expect it to be so chaotic.
"Tell me about the current forces in the Quicksand Region."
"Okay, there are currently more Buddhist sects in the Quicksand Region..."
Qin Yao talked eloquently while the camel team moved forward.
The golden crow was hanging in the west. At dusk, the leader Shi Tong suddenly stopped. Jiang Yuebai jumped off the camel and went to check in front.
On the ruined earthen city wall, two burly monks were seen facing a monk in red, and the atmosphere was tense.
