Chapter 479 Endless Desert, Oasis of Life, Wood Spirit Pearl Obtained (Happy New Year to Everyone!)
In this world, Zhongzhou is the center of the world.
It not only has a vast territory, but also has the most abundant spiritual energy, as well as many famous mountains and rivers, and blessed places.
Therefore, since ancient times, Zhongzhou has been the most desirable place for cultivators in the world.
Outside Zhongzhou, it is equally vast and is divided into many large and small states.
Going straight east, you can see the vast ocean.
Going north, there are endless ice fields.
Going south, you will see continuous deep mountains and dense forests.
As for going west, what you will eventually see will be a sky full of wind and sand, and the endless desert.
And the far west is a desert in the desert.
It is as hot as a furnace here, and it is extremely hot.
The atmosphere is so dry that it is like the burning fire.
Even if ordinary people take a breath, they will probably burn their lungs.
In such a harsh environment, it should be sparsely populated and difficult for life to survive.
However, in such a hot and dry desert, there is a place that is green from a distance.
There are some simple houses in it, and it is obvious that people live in it.
Suddenly, it was extremely calm, cloudless, and above the blue sky, a figure suddenly appeared, standing in the sky out of thin air.
Lu Qing looked at the small green oasis in the yellow sand below, with a strange look in his eyes.
"I didn't expect that in the depths of this extremely hot desert, which should be a forbidden zone for life, there would be such a small oasis full of vitality. Is it the power of the wood spirit bead?"
Feeling the waves of spirit beads coming from below, Lu Qing had a glimmer of enlightenment in his heart.
Yes, he came here this time just to get the wood spirit bead.
However, the current situation was a little beyond his expectations.
The wood spirit bead did not seem to be silent, but evolved a miracle of life in this desert.
Lu Qing's figure slowly descended, and he observed the situation of the oasis below.
This oasis is not big, only about two or three miles.
There are dozens of simple houses inside, and it is obvious that the population is not too small.
There are trees dotted among them, and there are children chasing and playing inside.
In the center of the oasis, there is a shallow lake, and fish are vaguely swimming in it.
The whole oasis shows a harmonious and peaceful atmosphere.
When Lu Qing fell, he did not hide his figure and breath.
One of the children who were chasing and playing, accidentally looked up and saw Lu Qing slowly falling from the sky.
Suddenly, his mouth opened wide, his eyes widened, and he pointed to the sky for a long time without saying a word.
After a long time, he finally shouted: "Immortal!"
The other children looked in the direction he pointed, and the next moment, they all widened their eyes.
The news that the immortal appeared quickly spread throughout the oasis.
Everyone was extremely shocked when they saw Lu Qing in the sky.
Not long after, an old man, urged by the crowd, slowly came to the oasis.
When the old man saw Lu Qing standing in the air, his cloudy eyes first widened, and then he prostrated himself and knelt down to pay homage to Lu Qing.
"Greetings to the Immortal! I wonder what the Immortal has come to do for you?"
As the old man prostrated himself, the crowd behind him also knelt down.
"Are you the leader here?" Lu Qing said lightly.
"The old man is the patriarch of the Qiu family in Huangsha Village." The old man replied.
"I came here to find a strange bead, which may be green. Do you have any clues?" Lu Qing asked directly.
Hearing this, the old man trembled suddenly.
The people behind him were also in a commotion.
The old man looked at Lu Qing, his heart full of bitterness.
He knew that the only thing that could attract such a flying immortal was the village's divine object.
However, under Lu Qing's calm gaze, the old man dared not not answer.
"God, I know that our village does have such a bead, but it is a divine object passed down from generation to generation in our Huangsha Village.
The reason why this oasis exists in this endless desert is that it is maintained by the divine object.
I hope the immortal will have mercy and not take the divine object away.
Otherwise, without the protection of the divine object, our Huangsha Village will be swallowed up by the dust in less than three days.
All the villagers will be buried under the yellow sand."
As the old man spoke, he kowtowed to Lu Qing.
His tone was so sad that it made people feel sad.
The villagers behind the old man also kowtowed to Lu Qing at this time.
Faced with Lu Qing, a mysterious existence who knew how to fly, they did not dare to resist and could only pray that the other party would be merciful and show mercy.
Lu Qing looked at the villagers kneeling down below.
Most of them didn't even have decent clothes, and only covered their bodies with leaves or simple woven fabrics.
It was obvious that although these people lived in this oasis, they could not be said to live and work in peace and contentment.
It was better to say that they were just barely surviving.
However, there was no change on his face.
He just said lightly: "The bead is very important to me, I must take it away."
Hearing this, the old man showed despair in his eyes.
But Lu Qing's next sentence made him suddenly stunned.
"But I will give you a choice, that is, if you are willing, I can take you all out of the desert and settle down in a beautiful place outside."
All the villagers who heard this were also stunned.
After a while, the old man said in disbelief: "Shangxian, you said you can take us out of this endless desert?"
"Do you think I need to deceive you?" Lu Qing said calmly, "Of course, the choice is yours. If you want to be buried in this endless desert with this oasis, I have no objection."
The old man paused.
Yes, with Lu Qing's existence, there is really no need to deceive them.
If he really has bad intentions, he will just rob it directly, and they can't resist it.
"Shangxian, this matter is of great importance. I need to discuss it with the tribesmen."
Although he was very tempted, the old man still said respectfully.
"I can give you a quarter of an hour." Lu Qing nodded.
"Thank you, Shangxian."
After the old man kowtowed to Lu Qing.
Turning back, he saw a burning gaze.
"Chief, what are you still discussing? Hurry up and agree to the immortal!"
"Yes, it's rare that an immortal is willing to take us out. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
"If we miss this opportunity, we may never be able to leave here again!"
"Chief, don't hesitate any longer!"
...
Well, listening to the urging of the tribesmen, the old man knew that there was no need to discuss.
Obviously, these guys were more anxious than himself.
But he also understood why.
Over the years, the population of the village has gradually increased, but the village is only this big.
Although they can still support themselves now, they are already stretched to the limit.
If this continues, they may have a harder and harder time.
But they are in the endless desert, and they can hardly recognize the direction, let alone get out.
So now that Lu Qing is willing to take them out, it can really be regarded as the most timely life-saving straw.
Thinking of this, the old man no longer hesitated.
Turned around and knelt down in front of Lu Qing.
"Goddess, we have discussed it and we beg you to take us out."
"Goddess, please take us out!"
The other villagers kowtowed to Lu Qing again.
A smile appeared on Lu Qing's face: "Take me over first to see if your sacred object is what I need."
Not long after, Lu Qing was brought to an old tree that was not tall but very strong and had a very developed root system.
The roots of the old tree also formed a small temple, protecting something inside.
It was a green gem.
"Goddess, this is the sacred object passed down from generation to generation in our Huangsha Village." The old man said a little nervously.
If he was worried that Lu Qing was here to rob the sacred object of his village before.
Now, he is extremely hopeful that this is what Lu Qing wants.
Because only in this way can their tribe have the hope of leaving this endless desert.
Lu Qing looked at the green gem.
In fact, long before he came here, he was sure that this was the Wood Spirit Pearl.
But unlike other spirit pearls that have been dormant, this Wood Spirit Pearl has obviously been in a state of recovery.
No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!
I don't know whether the environment here stimulated its recovery, or there are other reasons.
With a wave of his hand, the Wood Spirit Pearl trembled slightly in the small temple of roots, and was about to fly out.
But the next moment, a strange force fixed it in place, and the roots of the old tree suddenly gathered, wrapping the Wood Spirit Pearl tightly.
At the same time, an angry thought came from the old tree, as if it was really scolding something.
"This, this..."
This sudden change directly shocked the old man next to him and made him retreat again and again.
Pointing at the old tree, his mouth opened wide, his face full of shock.
It seems that he didn't expect that this old tree that his family had worshiped for hundreds of years could still move like a living being.
"Oh, has it evolved spirituality?"
Lu Qing raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised.
This old tree is very hidden, and even he was somewhat deceived just now.
Of course, this is also related to his attention being on the Wood Spirit Pearl.
The rich wood power of the Wood Spirit Pearl also concealed the spirituality of the old tree.
However, how could an old tree that has just given birth to spirituality cause trouble to Lu Qing.
A wisp of transparent flame suddenly appeared in his hand.
He said indifferently: "Release the spirit pearl, or I will burn you to death."
As soon as the Nanming Lihuo came out, the branches and leaves of the old tree trembled.
It instinctively felt that the flame in Lu Qing's hand was extremely terrifying.
If it fell on it, with its little Taoism, it would definitely not be able to resist it, and it would probably be burned clean in an instant.
But the old tree was very reluctant to give up the Wood Spirit Pearl.
In the end, the old tree sent a very aggrieved wave towards Lu Qing.
"You said that without this wood spirit bead, you can't resist the heat of this endless desert, and will slowly wither in the end?"
Lu Qing felt the fluctuations from the old tree and understood something.
He thought for a few breaths and said, "I must take this wood spirit bead away. If you don't want to slowly wither and die here, then follow me.
I will find you a sacred mountain blessed land, which will not only allow you to take root and live in peace, but also allow you to practice better in the future.
This place is a desert after all, and the ground energy is thin.
Even if you have the wood spirit bead, your practice will not be successful after all."
When the old tree heard Lu Qing's words, its branches and leaves trembled gently, as if thinking about something.
Lu Qing was not in a hurry, and stood there quietly waiting, and the Nanming Lihuo in his hand did not go out.
He did not act immediately, but he thought that it was not easy for this old tree to grow in this endless desert and still give birth to spirituality.
But if this guy really didn't know what was good for him, he wouldn't mind burning it as firewood.
Fortunately, although the old tree was a little dull, it was not a fool after all.
After thinking for a while, it finally made a decision and sent out a wave.
After Lu Qing felt it, he raised his eyebrows: "You want to follow me and practice under my protection? This is simple, I can promise you."
Among all things in the world, it is very difficult for wood, stone, grass and insects to give birth to spiritual intelligence.
This old tree has spiritual intelligence. Although its combat power is not worth mentioning, it is still very useful for combing the earth's energy, acting as the eye of the formation, and consolidating the formation.
Anyway, it's just a tree, and it can be planted anywhere.
Lu Qing wanted to protect him, it was not easy.
Hearing Lu Qing's assurance, the old tree gave off a wave of joy.
Without Lu Qing's urging, the old tree took the initiative to loosen its roots and sent the wood spirit bead to Lu Qing.
Lu Qing was not polite, stretched out his hand to hold it, and immediately felt that the extremely rich vitality came out from the wood spirit bead.
The power of the wood element is the main vitality.
The most amazing thing about this wood spirit bead is the endless vitality contained in it.
It is precisely because of this that this oasis can last so long in this endless desert.
After sending the wood spirit bead, there was a vibration at the location of the old tree.
I saw it slowly pull out the huge root system deeply rooted in the ground.
At the same time, it was gradually shrinking.
In the end, it turned into a small tree more than three feet tall with countless tiny roots.
Then it jumped lightly and came to Lu Qing.
"You actually have this ability?"
Lu Qing was a little surprised, then smiled, waved his hand, and a vortex was formed out of thin air, sucking the old tree in.
The old tree was shocked, and the next moment, it felt that it had fallen into a strange space.
At this time, Lu Qing's voice also sounded from above.
"You stay here for now, and I will find a good place to let you out after you get out.
You can rely on the power of the Wood Spirit Pearl to maintain yourself for the time being."
After the voice fell, a green gem fell in front of the old tree.
The old tree felt a little relieved after hearing this.
Since Lu Qing even put the Wood Spirit Pearl in, he must not have deceived it.
It immediately stretched out several roots and fell on the Wood Spirit Pearl, absorbing the power of the Wood Element in it to maintain itself.
After settling the old tree, Lu Qing looked at the village chief of Huangsha Village who had been stunned.
"Old man, go and ask your people to pack up and prepare to follow me out of here."
The old man woke up as if from a dream and said quickly: "Yes, yes! Please wait a moment, Immortal, we will prepare now!"
After that, he hurried out, feeling extremely excited.
The miraculous means that Lu Qing had just shown truly demonstrated his great magical powers.
He no longer had any doubts about whether Lu Qing could lead them out of this endless desert.
The power of hope is always strong.
The villagers of Huangsha Village did not let Lu Qing wait for long, and all gathered in the center of the village.
"Immortal, we have packed up."
The old man came to Lu Qing with a small package on his back.
"Yeah." Lu Qing nodded.
He took a look and found that each villager did not carry much.
The most was some dry food such as dried fish.
In addition, there was a small rattan basket.
Other items were very few.
Even pots, pans, and bowls were hardly seen.
It can be said that each of them is pitifully poor.
But this is not surprising.
After all, this small oasis has a low production capacity and very scarce materials.
So even if they have accumulated for generations, these villagers still don’t have much to carry.
Lu Qing didn’t say anything.
He just casually created a vortex and collected all the villagers into the Lihuo Ding.
Then he turned into a stream of light, flew straight up to the blue sky, and flew out of the endless desert.
