Li Qing was in a good mood after taming a second-level demonic thorn that gave birth to spiritual wisdom.
The three of them chatted for a while, then temporarily canceled the earth escape technique and floated to the top of the yellow sand.
Fortunately, the sandstorm came and went away just as quickly.
At this time, there was no wind in the vast desert. The scorching skylight shines on the yellow sand, and the world seems to have become a melting pot.
Fortunately, the three of them, Li Qing, all have ways to escape the heat and cool down. A slight change in the spiritual water temporarily isolated him from the intense heat and sun.
Li Qing looked at the wild yellow sand thoughtfully: "The power of magnetic energy has always been precious. It is inexhaustible here and can be used inexhaustibly. Why don't we collect some?"
Sang Yuwan pinched her gray beard and explained with a smile: "This sand is integrated with the secret realm. It cannot be refined. It can be seen and touched, but it cannot be taken away."
"That would be a pity." Li Qing threw the yellow sand out of his hand.
Niu Xinjing said: "The opportunity in this secret realm of yellow sand, apart from the ferocious beasts that can appear at any time, is the rare oasis."
"If we are lucky enough to encounter it and harvest one or two treasures from it, it will be a worthwhile trip."
Li Qing raised his eyebrows: "I heard that this oasis in the yellow sand secret realm is not fixed, but moves around?"
Niu Xinjing spread his hands: "I've never seen it before. Brother Sang Dao, it seems that your Jiazi Minglongmu seeds were obtained in the oasis?"
Sang Yuwan nodded: "I have been to this secret realm twice. The first time I found nothing. The second time I was lucky enough to enter the oasis under the leadership of others, but I didn't gain much."
Li Qing asked: "Will the oasis really move?"
Sang Yuwan recalled for a moment: "It is better to say that the oasis can move, but it is better to say that it is always in the process of transformation between reality and reality."
"When it first appeared, it was like a mirage. From a distance, every detail was visible. If you really want to get under it, you can't even grasp it."
"Only by exploring its reality can we enter the oasis and harvest its treasures."
The three of them chatted while choosing a direction to trek.
Along the way, various poisons lurking in the desert emerged one after another, attacking the three of them without fear of death.
However, the second-level spiritual beast, or demonic beast, never appeared again.
This made them murmur in their hearts: "Is there some black hand behind it that is directing all this? What is it that makes the explosion?"
In this way, the three of them walked in one direction for six hours.
The originally dazzling skylight gradually dimmed, and night fell.
The temperature in the desert dropped suddenly, and a thin layer of frost quickly formed.
The three of them did not force their way forward, but found a sand dune and set up camp in the leeward direction.
Li Qing lit the Nirvana and built a bonfire. The three of them took a rest while tasting the spiritual food and spiritual fruits that they each brought.
The tongues of fire swayed, reflecting the three shadows swaying left and right.
"Swiss, swiss, swish..." The thin sound made by some kind of scales rubbing against the sand touched their ears.
Li Qing turned around and saw a group of monsters with human heads and snake bodies coming from a distance. Two of them are similar in strength to Foundation Establishment, and the rest are around the late stages of Qi training.
They have green faces and fangs, snake hair, and snake bodies from the neck down. They look quite uncomfortable.
But the aura they exude is very peaceful.
"Hiss, hiss..." The leader raised his head and made an obscure snake cry.
Li Qing didn't understand, and was about to use the "one-thought telepathy" technique, but Sang Yuwan shook his head to stop him.
He knelt down, looked at the group of uninvited guests, pinched his throat, and made the same hoarse neigh.
The two sides came and went and communicated like this.
Li Qing looked at Niu Xinjing with doubtful eyes, only to find that the other person also had a confused look on his face.
Fortunately, Sang Yuwan ended the communication with the other party's leader very quickly.
He waved to the two of them and motioned for them to squat down too: "This is the human-faced snake in the Yellow Sand Secret Realm, an ancient intelligent race."
"Human-faced snakes seem to have become extinct in Qinghe Continent. The stories about the 'Beautiful Snake' spread among mortals are based on them."
Li Qing asked curiously: "Since the human-faced snakes have become extinct, how can Brother Tao speak about them?"
Sang Yuwan smiled and said: "Dragon and snake don't separate families. Our family has this inheritance."
After explaining the previous situation, he pointed at the group of human-faced snakes and said: "They encountered a sandstorm during their migration, and the beasts of burden transporting food were lost."
"They want to use the snake beads they gave birth to in exchange for some food to help them survive this crisis."
Niu Xinjing was a little surprised: "Don't they have storage bags? And they let the beasts of burden carry food?"
Sang Yuwan shook his head: "The Yellow Sand Secret Realm does not have the main material for refining the storage bag, the Kongming Stone, so we can only rely on trading with outside monks."
"But the storage bag cannot be stored in the Dantian. When encountering bone-cutting divine winds and sandstorms, if you have little luck, it will be wiped away."
Seeing the three of them chatting here, the leader of the human-faced snake looked a little anxious.
She hissed, opened her mouth and spit out a bright yellow orb.
This orb is completely round with no unevenness at all. It emits a mysterious wave that can consume the true energy and confuse the consciousness.
Li Qing could tell at a glance that the beads were made from yellow sand in the secret realm.
Sang Yuwan, Li Qing, and Niu Xinjing looked at each other and smiled, and then introduced: "This human-faced snake in the yellow sand secret realm has mastered an incredible skill over time."
"That is to use oneself as a furnace to refine the yellow sand containing the power of Yuan magnetic force into a precious orb. Because after the transformation of the human-faced snake, it will no longer be restricted by the secret realm."
Li Qing's eyes lit up: "It turns out that there is still a way to bypass the restrictions of the secret realm."
Sang Yuwan shook his head: "If you want to take this orb out, the human-faced snake must give it up willingly, otherwise it will also be forced to stay by the secret realm."
Niu Xinjing smiled and said: "This is simple. They are short of food. With Fellow Daoist Li, it's a piece of cake."
However, things are not as simple as the three imagined.
Because these human-faced snakes are carnivores and don't eat vegetarian food at all. And their favorite food is a creature that looks like a pika.
These guys are particularly good at digging holes, and they can appear and disappear in the desert. They are protected by the power of Yuan magnetic force, so it is not easy to catch them.
Li Qing and the other two tried their best to catch more than a dozen, which was not enough for this small tribe to have a full meal.
With this little bit of harvest, it would be a foolish dream to exchange it for a Yuanci Orb.
Li Qing was very puzzled: "This thing is too hard to catch. How did they have enough food before?"
Sang Yuwan communicated again and realized that he was fooled: "How can they eat so well on weekdays? They caught us and took advantage of us."
Li Qing and Niu Xinjing: Speechless.
They wanted to leave in anger, but they really wanted the Yuanci Orb.
What's more, the leader of the human-faced snake claimed that he knew the location of an oasis.
