Chapter 319: Yellow Sand Secret Realm, Subduing the Thorns (First Update)

However, plans cannot keep up with changes.

The ancient secret realm has not yet been born, but the only second-level secret realm around Xuefeng Lake, the Yellow Sand Secret Realm, has appeared in advance.

The Yellow Sand Secret Realm was opened forty years ago, less than thirty-seven years ago, which caught many Jiedan Sects off guard.

This secret realm only allows monks in the foundation-building stage to enter. Whether they are practicing Qi or forming pills, they are excluded by the secret realm.

And after the secret realm portal is opened, it will be temporarily closed after half an hour. The monks who entered could not come out until the secret realm was secluded after a month.

Most of the Alchemy Formation sects only received the news that the secret realm was opened, and before they had time to dispatch manpower, the secret realm was closed.

Li Qing had been building the foundation for less than ten years, so naturally he had never entered the Yellow Sand Secret Realm.

Because of the ancient secret realm, he originally didn't plan to explore it.

Unexpectedly, the "Tianwei Gate" in Dantian trembled slightly, as if something was attracting it.

After weighing it several times, Li Qing finally decided to go inside to find out.

He entrusted Qinghe Valley to Li Yu, and together with Sang Yuwan and Niu Xinjing, they rushed in just as the secret realm gate was about to close.

There was a sudden spin.

When the three of them stood still, they found themselves in a vast desert.

There was no sun in the sky, but the light was still scorching. Even the true energy body protection cannot completely isolate it.

The strong wind blew, and the sand was thrown into the air, brewing into a terrifying sandstorm, and the whole sky and earth became dim.

The sand, driven by the strong wind, quickly rubbed against the three people's true energy shields, causing sparks to appear.

The three of them looked at each other and used the Earth Escape Technique together to hide under the sand to escape this unpredictable natural disaster.

"Two Taoist brothers, this is my first time in this secret realm of yellow sand. What can I say?" Li Qing asked calmly.

Sang Yuwan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It seems that our luck is not very good this time, and we actually encountered a deadly dust storm."

"The wind in this desert is a bone-cutting divine wind. The sand also carries the power of magnetism, which is the best way to kill the monks' true energy."

"If you can't avoid disaster by using the earth escape method, and you are exposed to this sand and dust for a long time, no matter how amazing and talented you are, you will only die."

Li Qing couldn't help but be stunned: "How long will this dust last?"

Niu Xinjing shook his head: "It may stop soon, or it may continue into the secret realm, there is no definite number."

Li Qing asked again: "Then we can use Earth Escape to explore underneath the desert, can we?"

Niu Xinjing sighed: "Below this desert, there are also many dangers. This sand has the power of magnetism, which not only consumes the true essence, but also confuses spiritual consciousness and reverses cognition."

"When I'm running around in it, it's easy to bump into dangerous places like quicksand, or predators hiding in the sand."

Before he finished speaking, a large scorpion with black body and bright blue tail hook quietly touched behind him. It has the power of a second-level spiritual beast.

Fortunately, all three of them were alert.

Niu Xinjing slapped his forehead, and a Yin-Yang scroll rose up from the top, protecting him all over.

The big scorpion's tail hook stabbed hard, but the Yin and Yang Qi interfered, causing the attack to stop.

It reacted very quickly, and pounced on it, with a pair of large pliers cutting towards the neck of the cow.

"What an evil beast!" Niu Xinjing scolded, and the yin and yang scroll turned into a big grinding mill, covering the big scorpion, constantly grinding and refining it.

But the scorpion's shell was quite hard. Although it was suppressed by the Yin and Yang Grinding and unable to move, there was no sign of damage at all.

The two were in a stalemate for a while.

While Niu Xinjing was confronting the big scorpion, another fiery scorpion came to Sang Yuwan.

Li Qing was entangled in an activated thorn.

The thorns were dark red all over and had a faint rancid smell. They seemed to make a living by strangling and sucking the flesh and blood of living creatures.

Li Qing was instinctively unhappy about this, so he brushed down the Three Treasures Wonderful Tree, and Nirvana engulfed the thorns.

However, perhaps the thorns grow in the desert and are exposed to the sun all year round, so they are more resistant to flames.

Under the cover of Nirvana, it kept rolling, waving its thorns wantonly, and swept towards Li Qing as if it had wisdom.

Li Qing snorted coldly and took advantage of the Nirvana fire to turn the rain into ice rain and pour it directly on it.

"Zi la la..."

The thorns twisted painfully, cracked between hot and cold, and scarlet juice oozed from them.

On the other side, Sang Yuwan took out a golden bowl, hung it above the red scorpion, and poured out the water from the dragon spring.

That Longquan carries the power of the dragon, which is especially a deterrent to snakes, insects, rats, and ants.

The red scorpion was on fire, but was extinguished by the dragon spring and threatened by the dragon's power. He could only huddle up in a ball obediently, looking a bit pitiful.

The current situation on the field is undoubtedly dominated by Li Qing's side, but the three of them do not dare to be careless at all.

As soon as they entered the secret realm, there were three spiritual beasts and strange plants equivalent to foundation building looking for trouble. The water in this yellow sand secret realm was indeed quite deep.

Suddenly, a sharp explosion came from deep in the yellow sand.

The two scorpions seemed to have received the order, their energy surged, and they broke free from the shackles of the Yin-Yang Great Mill and the Longquan Golden Bowl.

Sang Yuwan frowned and was about to activate the golden bowl to suppress the red scorpion.

Then he saw two scorpions, one black and one red, suddenly shrunk. In the blink of an eye, they were only the size of soybeans, and their momentum also dissipated.

Two little scorpions ran away in the sand like crazy.

For a time, Niu Xinjing and Sang Yuwan were unable to lock their trajectory, and it was difficult to chase them away. They could only watch them slip away.

On Li Qing's side, the thorns seemed to have gone crazy, suddenly shooting out several times as many thorns.

Each thorn pierced and stabbed, no less than a foundation-building spell. Such a "chaotic cloak" attack made Li Qing a little overwhelmed.

He took a deep breath, and the Taihao Palace glowed slightly in the spirit platform, and the magic was added to the Xuanhuang Seal.

"Buzz buzz buzz..." The condensed small seal flew out and suppressed the core fragment of the thorn.

The thorn still refused to give in, twisting its body and rushing towards the Xuanhuang Seal, pushing the small seal up and down.

Li Qing's mind moved, communicating with the blessed land sand table, and the power of the Qinghe Valley's earthly immortal world was transmitted, driving the Xuanhuang Seal to suppress it fiercely.

"Boom..." A muffled sound.

The thorn was suppressed by the Xuanhuang Seal and could no longer do anything.

Sang Yuwan couldn't help but smile and said, "It's you who got off to a good start."

Li Qing bowed slightly and said, "I'm lucky. This thorn has a very stubborn temper, unlike the two scorpions who are cunning..."

He pinched his hands and imposed a series of suppression restrictions on the thorn.

Soon, Qingmu Zhenyuan penetrated into the thorn along the restraining restrictions and completely sealed it.

"This thing is very solid. It is a good material for refining spiritual tools." Niu Xinjing commented.

The thorn seemed to understand what people said. It seemed to be irritated and struggled in the restrictions again.

"Be honest!" Li Qing shot out a stream of Nirvana fire and burned it fiercely, which greatly dispelled its arrogance.

Sang Yuwan stared at it for a while and reminded Li Qing in a gentle voice, "This thing has already turned into a demon. I'm afraid it's not easy to raise..."

Li Qing nodded, sealed it with a jade box, and put it in the storage bag.
