The wind was howling and the sky was filled with yellow sand. An Xiaoran led a group of monks to trek through the sandy sea of death.
Since becoming a second-level alchemist, An Xiaoran has focused a large part of his energy on refining various elixirs.
This not only meets the needs of the sect, but is also her interest.
After practicing the alchemy technique inherited from Chongxuan Sect, she mastered many alchemy recipes.
The last time a team returned from the Death Sand Sea, they brought back a piece of news.
Right near the Black Wind Cemetery, a large area of Silver Moon Grass grows.
At that time, they originally wanted to go picking, but were dispersed by a group of sand monsters that suddenly appeared.
This team that narrowly escaped death knew that they could not go to that dangerous area to pick with their own strength alone.
So, after they returned to Yaofeng Gobi, they sold the news.
Since about ten years ago, the Taiyi Sect took the lead and mobilized the entire Hanhai Dao Alliance to explore the Death Sand Sea on a large scale. More and more monks are joining the exploration team, and the scale of exploration is getting bigger and bigger.
Some special resources in the Death Sand Sea are already expensive, and the Taiyi Sect even offers high premiums to acquire them.
For teams traveling to Yaofeng Gobi, Taiyi Gate provides many conveniences, such as free supplies and maps.
The news that some unlucky teams became rich overnight was deliberately exaggerated and spread by the Taiyi Sect, and soon spread to the entire Endless Sand Sea, and even reached the Jiuqu League.
Now, not only the monks from Taiyi Sect and Hanhai Dao Alliance, but also the foundation-building monks from Mobei Qi Family and Feihong Sect, have also formed teams to explore.
Many monks from Gale City are nominally casual cultivators, but intelligence from the secret hall shows that many of them belong to major cultivation families in Gale City.
These monks passed through the Demon Wind Gobi to explore the Death Sand Sea.
As for the monks from the outside world, Meng Zhang did not stop them from going to the Sand Sea of Death.
Firstly, the Death Sand Sea is too vast and has too many bordering areas, so he cannot prevent others from entering. Secondly, the sea of death is too dangerous, and the more cannon fodder exploring the path, the better.
In fact, with so many teams entering the Death Sand Sea, not many can really gain anything.
Not to mention the teams that suffered casualties. Many teams made the trip in vain, wasting a lot of talismans, elixirs, etc. in vain.
If Taiyi Sect had not provided various subsidies, these teams would have been unable to make ends meet and would have been unable to support themselves.
The phenomenon of buying and selling various resources and information has become very common.
An Xiaoran needs some silver moon grass to refine an elixir. She purchased Silver Moon Grass through the sect’s channels, but failed.
Fortunately, her brother An Moran is the secret hall leader of Taiyi Sect in charge of intelligence affairs. He is well-informed and versatile.
After An Xiaoran used her sister’s dignity and squeezed her own brother, An Moran found a way to buy this information.
An Moran originally asked An Xiaoran to hire a team to pick the large piece of Silver Moon Grass. But An Xiaoran was worried about others, and couldn’t wait any longer.
So, she organized a team at the door and was about to pick the large piece of Silver Moon Grass.
As the alchemist of Taiyi Sect, in theory, Dantangtang advocated Yingying. But how could An Xiaoran like Zhang Yingying, let alone accept her control.
Although Meng Zhang strictly forbids the production monks in his sect to venture into the Death Sand Sea, An Xiaoran is different from the weak production monks in his sect. He practices the Chongxuan Sect’s superior technique “Fusang Sutra” which directly points to the avenue of the soul. “, possessing a mid-stage foundation-building cultivation, and his combat effectiveness is even better.
Meng Zhang was so entangled by her that he had no choice but to acquiesce to her actions for the purpose of training his disciples.
An Xiaoran is not a reckless person. She knows that there are many dangers in the sand sea of death, so of course she must make various preparations in advance.
An Xiaoran has a good relationship with the weak water **** general and has received many teachings from the weak water **** general.
Meng Zhang hid the news that the weak water **** general had recovered to the golden elixir stage very well. Except for the three guardian **** generals, no one else in the sect knew about it.
An Xiaoran was originally going to find the weak water **** general and ask her to go with him. But the weak water **** general had already left the Taiyi Gate and went to the depths of Yaofeng Gobi.
An Xiaoran, who did not find the weak water **** general, decided to do the next best thing and found the thunder **** general.
The Thunder God General agreed to join her team without saying anything else.
Then, An Xiaoran invited brothers Qian Kaiyu and Qian Kaizhou to join the team.
The two Qian brothers have been practicing in the world of cultivation for many years and have rich experience in various fields.
They encountered an accident last time in the Sea of Death, and after being rescued by Meng Zhang, they joined the Taiyi Sect.
After these years of testing, the two brothers’ loyalty to the sect was affirmed by Meng Zhang, and they truly became a part of the Taiyi Sect.
The two brothers were originally monks in the middle stage of foundation building. After encountering an accident, their cultivation dropped to the early stage of foundation building, and the road ahead was cut off.
They had already married and had children in the Taiyi Sect, and they would be able to live in peace and contentment before long.
Faced with An Xiaoran who came to their door, they had to give face to the direct disciple of the headmaster, and also wanted to create a good relationship for future generations.
An Xiaoran found three more foundation-building monks from the Taiyi Sect and asked them to join the team.
An Xiaoran, who inherited the wealth of the ancestors of the An family, was originally a little rich woman who could spend a lot of wealth to hire monks. Moreover, she is also the second-level alchemist with the most skillful alchemy skills in the sect. There are many monks who seek help from her on weekdays.
An Xiaoran didn’t spend much time gathering a team.
After making various preparations, the team entered the Death Sand Sea and began their treasure hunt.
After some twists and turns, An Xiaoran led the team and was almost close to the goal.
In the sea of dead sand, the most common thing is the sand monster wandering around.
Sand monsters often appear in groups, and once human monks are discovered, they are like mad dogs and attack with all their might.
After a truly strong team has gained some experience, they will no longer be afraid of these sand monsters.
If you encounter a small group of sand monsters, kill them directly. If you encounter a large group of sand monsters that you cannot defeat, just avoid them early.
Some daring teams even dared to take the initiative to attack the sand monster’s lair and seize the spiritual source beads inside.
The truly terrifying existence of the Death Sand Sea is the ghost cultivators and demon cultivators hidden inside.
Especially demon cultivators are the greatest enemies of cultivators and the public enemy of the entire cultivator world.
If a monk wants to enter the Death Sand Sea, the initial stage of foundation building is the minimum requirement. The cultivation level in the middle and late stages of foundation building is not outstanding, and there are even many monks with perfect foundation building who enter the Death Sand Sea in order to obtain spiritual marrow.
No matter how powerful the team is, there will be a danger of annihilation after encountering a demonic cultivator.
Many of the teams that disappeared silently in the sea of death sand were most likely a result of the conspiracy of ghost cultivators and demon cultivators.
In these years, more and more monks have entered the sea of death sand. Occasionally, teams encountered ghost cultivators and demon cultivators and suffered heavy casualties.
An Xiaoran must ask the Jing Lei God to accompany him, just to prevent accidents and being plotted by ghost cultivators or demon cultivators.
“It’s right ahead, almost there.”
Seeing that the morale of everyone in the team was a bit low after a long journey, An Xiaoran encouraged everyone.
This journey has not been smooth. We encountered sand monsters several times on the road and experienced several life-and-death fights. Everyone was a little tired.
Ahead is the Black Wind Cemetery where ghost cultivators gather, and ghost cultivators often haunt it.
In the sea of death sand, there are generally no golden elixir stage monks. Even if they are ghost cultivators, the ones with the highest level of cultivation are the fake alchemy cultivators.
However, the ghost cultivator’s methods are sinister and mysterious, and he is not an easy opponent to deal with.
Monks who enter the Death Sand Sea all know that the Black Wind Cemetery is the home of ghost cultivators, and will deliberately avoid it. Unless absolutely necessary, I rarely approach someone proactively.
The team that discovered Silver Moon Grass also accidentally took the wrong path and came to that location.
First they were attacked by sand monsters, and then they found out that there were ghost cultivators around them. They lost the courage to directly pick the silver moon grass and chose to sell the news to make a profit. Only the well-informed An Moran could get this news.
The closer they get to the Black Wind Cemetery, the more cautious everyone becomes. Everyone cheered up and observed the surrounding situation.
Probably all the bad luck along the way has been exhausted, and An Xiaoran and the others have begun to change their fortunes.
This team, which was extremely prosperous, actually reached its destination safely without any accidents.
An Xiaoran couldn’t believe his good luck. Under the cover of her teammates, she quickly picked the mature parts of the silver moon grass.
Silver Moon Grass is a spiritual grass that has very strict requirements on the growing environment.
As a qualified alchemist, An Xiaoran did not fish in the marsh. Instead, he only picked the mature elixirs and did not touch the immature ones. She just jotted down the information to retrieve it later.
After picking the herbs, An Xiaoran relaxed and said with a smile: “My brother has no other skills, so it’s not bad to find out this information. It’s rare that he can provide such accurate information. It’s really unexpected.”
The terrain in the Death Sand Sea often changes, making positioning difficult. To be able to successfully find this place, apart from the fact that the information was accurate, An Xiaoran was really lucky.
Before An Xiaoran finished speaking, the look on his face changed and he suddenly turned his head to look to the left.
Before An Xiaoran made any move, Thunder God General had already reacted and turned his gaze over there.
Others looked over at this moment belatedly, with blank expressions on their faces at first, and then extreme shock.
In the sky in the distance, patches of dark clouds were moving rapidly towards this side.
In front of the clouds, there is a white whirlwind moving quickly, as if it is avoiding the pursuit of the clouds.
An Xiaoran’s face was solemn, and he asked the Thunder God General a little hesitantly: “Demon cultivator?”
The God of Thunder did not speak, but nodded.
The demon cultivator was still far away in the horizon, and flashes of lightning began to appear on the Thunder God General’s body, and his eyes seemed to be spitting out fire.
As Meng Zhang’s direct disciple, An Xiaoran learned a lot of secrets from Meng Zhang. Among them are some of the history of Taiyi Sect and the origins of the Thunder God Generals.
The Taiyi Sect, which was rebuilt in the Daheng Mountains, perished in the demonic disaster. The God of Thunder was also in a battle with monsters back then. His body was destroyed, his soul was severely injured, and he had to fall into a long sleep.
If it weren’t for Meng Zhang from the Taiyi Sect, the sect would rise again. I’m afraid the Thunder God General will never have a chance to wake up.
Seeing the demon cultivator appear in front of him, the Thunder God was extremely jealous of his enemies. An old man like him who has lived for a long time can no longer hold his temper.
The white whirlwind was flying towards this side quickly, with the black clouds behind them chasing after them. They were almost in front of everyone.
An Xiaoran originally intended to lead the team to escape first. Fighting against the demon cultivator would not do her any good.
“I leave the ghost cultivator in front of you to you, and I will deal with the demon cultivator behind me.”
The Thunder God General greeted him, then took the initiative to fly into the sky and meet him.
An Xiaoran smiled bitterly. He had long heard that the Thunder God General had a bad temper and was warlike.
Along the way, he has been playing the role of a team member honestly. He, the captain, has made the final decision on all matters big and small. He has never acted in a way that takes the lead.
An Xiaoran once thought that everyone had some misunderstanding about Thunder God. Unexpectedly, the Thunder God General would have an attack at this time.
As a junior in the sect, An Xiaoran naturally cannot ignore the seniors in the sect and only focus on avoiding the battle.
An Xiaoran called to the five monks behind him and led them towards the white whirlwind.
An Xiaoran didn’t even see through the origin of the white whirlwind, but the Thunder God General said it was a ghost cultivator, so there was probably no problem.
As a righteous cultivator, it is only natural for you to take the initiative when you see a ghost cultivator in Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com.
An Xiaoran’s body has the attributes of fire and wood. He has practiced “Burning Wood Kung Fu” since he was a child, and later switched to the “Fusang Sutra” of Zhongxuan Zong.
The skills of fire and wood attributes not only help her refine elixirs, but also have the advantage of overcoming each other when facing enemies, especially ghost cultivators.
An Xiaoran flew in front of the white whirlwind, and with one move, a thick green tree rose in front of her. Flames fell from the giant tree and flew towards the white whirlwind ahead.
The Qian brothers and three other foundation-building monks also attacked the white whirlwind at the same time.
The white whirlwind quickly dispersed, revealing a snow-white skull.
This ghost cultivator was hunted by the demon cultivator for a long time, and his vitality had already been seriously injured. After being beaten indiscriminately by An Xiaoran’s men, he immediately lost all his strength and only had half his life left.
“I surrender, I surrender, don’t fight anymore.”
The white skull kept begging for mercy.
An Xiaoran has never come into contact with ghost cultivators before, and does not know the nature of ghost cultivators.
However, it was a bit unexpected for her that the ghost cultivator, who was famous for being cruel and vicious in the world of cultivation, could be so soft-hearted.
The other party took the initiative to beg for mercy, and An Xiaoran also wanted to capture a prisoner and learn more about the Death Sand Sea.
She casually took out a fiery red net bag, put the skull in it, and affixed a talisman to prevent him from escaping.
