The scorching sun was in the sky, scorching and twisting the air. The golden sand dunes were layered like waves. Even if you were flying in the air and looking from a distance, you couldn't see the end at a glance.
After entering the Rising Sun Desert, Luo Hong saw such a scene.
If the invisible and immaterial consciousness spreads too far, the pain of being burned by the flames will occur. After Luo Hong endured it and explored the area, he found that there was no life in the Rising Sun Desert.
Not to mention ferocious beasts and monsters, he didn't even see a single spiritual plant!
"No wonder this place is so dangerous. It turns out that every ray of sunlight here carries the power of the Sun Law!
Under this sunlight, even the combined monks cannot hold out for too long.
After all, resisting it consumes too much mana, and the spiritual energy here is extremely strong. If it is introduced into the body, it will only burn the meridians and cannot be refined into mana at all!"
Not long after entering the Rising Sun Desert, Luo Hong noticed something unusual here.
"That's right, this is the Sun Seizing Technique in Xuantian's Weapon Refining Technique. It can concentrate the laws of the Sun in one place. There must be an Weapon Refining Formation Eye in the desert!"
The mortal interface world does not have the kind of stars that Luo Hong had in his previous life. The seven days in the spiritual world that the monks saw were actually transformed by the laws of heaven.
The same goes for the sun in the Guanghan Realm. The reason why the sunlight in the Rising Sun Desert is extremely dangerous is that someone has gathered part of the Zhiyang Law that should have been scattered in this world into this area!
Luo Hong was so sure because Xuantian's weapon refining technique clearly recorded this method called "Seizing the Sun".
Seeing the true immortal's skill in refining weapons, Luo Hong, who was standing on Xiao Jin's back, couldn't help but feel excited, secretly thinking that this time he was right!
"Fairy Gan, now that we have entered the Rising Sun Desert, can you tell Luo where to go next?"
"To be honest, Senior Luo, there is an underground palace guarded by puppets in the Rising Sun Desert, and our target is there.
It would take about seven days to escape from here. Our escape speed is slower, so please don’t blame me, senior."
At this moment, Gan Ruoyun and a group of junior brothers and sisters were standing on the back of the Earth Fire Snake, relying on the fiery red spiritual shield held up by the Earth Fire Snake, but he could move and speak freely.
However, compared to Xiao Jin's relaxed and casual attitude, Earth Fire Snake seemed to be struggling a bit at the moment.
Fortunately, the two Earth Spirit monks had prepared enough energy-replenishing spiritual liquid and fed the Earth Fire Snake a few mouthfuls from time to time, so it was able to sustain itself.
"It doesn't matter, although Luo has other important matters, he is not in a hurry for just one or two days.
Huh? This place is not useless, these are all Jinyang sand?"
Xiao Jin definitely didn't want to take Gan Ruoyun and others, so Luo Hong didn't mention it directly.
At this moment, his consciousness suddenly sensed the breath of a spiritual material in the sand dunes. When he became interested, he shot out a five-color glow and rolled back a few red-golden gravels.
"Senior Luo read it right, these are Jinyang Sands, and the closer you get to the center of the Rising Sun Desert, the denser this spiritual material is.
It's a pity that our consciousness can't withstand the scorching sunlight here, but we can't collect them.
But if seniors are willing, they can collect some. After all, although Jinyangsha is only a fifth-grade spiritual material, as long as the quantity is large enough and combined with some holy-level materials, a holy-level flying boat or spiritual castle can be refined!"
As if he had expected Luo Hong to ask this question, Gan Ruoyun immediately explained it in detail.
As for the so-called fifth-grade spiritual materials, it is the classification of spiritual materials on the Thunder Continent. In essence, it is still the spiritual level system created by Luo Hong.
Because the spiritual level is inherently different as you go to the back, the gap at each level will become larger, so it is easy for immortal cultivators to find that the gap in spiritual power between high-level spiritual materials is extremely serious.
Therefore, the monks in Thunder Continent divided the spiritual materials from low to high into nine levels to one level, corresponding to the nine realms of spiritual levels from deity transformation to integration.
If it is a spiritual material at the Mahayana level, it is called "unparalleled".
On top of the unparalleled products, there are also immortal products, which are used to specifically refer to the various treasures left behind by true immortals!
"If it is true that the deeper you go into the desert, the denser these golden sands will be, and it is indeed worth collecting some."
The fifth-grade spiritual materials only correspond to the middle stage of virtual refining. Luo Hong's life-and-death spirit-ascension method a long time ago was able to upgrade spiritual materials to this level.
Unless the number is really large enough, it will be difficult for Luo Hong to get too excited.
"Okay, I admit that I was a little hasty that day."
Three days later, looking at the glittering golden light on the ground, Luo Hong suddenly understood what Gan Ruoyun meant by "dense".
This girl is so humble, it’s obvious everywhere!
"How come there are so many of them? The records in the Mingming clan clearly don't say this."
Gan Ruoyun was also very surprised at this moment, but the movements of her hands were not slow at all. She took out a storage magic weapon and began to collect the Jinyang sand around her.
I originally thought that even in the depths of the Rising Sun Desert, these Jinyang Sands were scattered among the many gravels and needed to be sorted out with spiritual consciousness and collected carefully.
However, the cultivation of the soul in the late stage of refining the void cannot detect the spiritual consciousness too far. Not only is it troublesome, but it also cannot collect much Jinyang Sand, so Gan Ruoyun had no interest before.
But now Jinyangsha is everywhere, and you can easily collect a lot of it. She will never let go of this windfall!
Leng Yulong and others on the side immediately followed suit when they saw this, standing on the back of the Earth Fire Snake, frantically collecting the Jinyang Sand within a hundred feet.
But at this moment, the surrounding sky suddenly changed. Gan Ruoyun and others were surprised to find that at some point, thousands of miles around had been covered by the five-color glow.
Suddenly, countless golden light spots flew up from the ground and converged in the direction of Luo Hong, like dozens of red gold Milky Ways.
"Is this the spiritual consciousness that a monk who has just entered the holy level should have?"
After looking up for a moment, Leng Yulong looked a little stiff and said.
There are more golden sands in the depths of the Rising Sun Desert, but the sunlight is also much more powerful. They, the ninth-level existences of the upper clan, can only detect their spiritual consciousness a hundred feet at this moment, otherwise their souls are likely to suffer heavy losses.
However, Luo Hong probed his spiritual consciousness thousands of miles away. This was a world of difference, and he could not stop Leng Yulong!
However, Luo Hong himself didn't care at all about this. After all, when his soul completely broke through the integration, it crossed the bottleneck in the later stage of the integration.
Gan Ruoyun and others are three levels behind him in terms of soul, and this gap is natural!
For the next three days, Luo Hong spent the next three days collecting Jinyang sand.
He wasn't bad at eating, and he took the initiative not to touch the hundreds of feet of golden sand surrounding the Earth Fire Snake.
And because there were so many Jinyang Sands, the back was filled with all Luo Hong's stored magic weapons, but it was still far from being completely collected.
So, Luo Hong simply fed the Jinyang Sand collected later to the little black ball, and refined it into the Qi of the Beginning and stored it.
But strangely, when we were still one day away from the underground palace mentioned by Gan Ruoyun, the Jinyang Sand on the ground stopped abruptly.
All of a sudden, it went from being everywhere to not having one at all!
Obviously, these golden sun sands in the Rising Sun Desert are distributed in a ring with the underground palace as the center.
Mostly it is a by-product of the entire weapon refining array.
After all, Jinyangsha is only a fifth-grade spiritual material. If you have too much, it will be of great use, but if you have too much, it will be just like that.
Now that he was approaching his destination, Luo Hong had no intention of going back to collect more.
Although Gan Ruoyun and others could not reach the level of Luo Hong, the state of the Earth Fire Snake could not support their greed, so they could only give up when things got better.
In this way, after everyone fled peacefully for most of the day, the two Earth Spirit monks ordered the Earth Fire Snake to stop on a particularly huge sand dune.
Immediately, they cast spells on the ground, and the entire sand dune shook violently.
Not long after, a sand vortex appeared not far away. After countless yellow sands were sucked into it, a building structure similar to a patio was revealed.
"This is it. Senior Luo, please come with us."
Gan Ruoyun was overjoyed when he saw this. He called Luo Hong and asked the Earth Fire Snake to lead them into the underground courtyard.
Luo Hong was secretly vigilant after hearing this, and asked Xiao Jin to take him to fly down.
Although the forbidden aura cannot be sensed, this underground patio is only a simple structure supported by a few pillars.
But as soon as he entered, Xiao Jin felt that the sunlight was no longer a threat and decisively put the spirit shield away.
The Earth Fire Snake on the other side had already been put into a spirit beast bracelet by one of the Earth Spirit monks to recuperate.
Immediately, Luo Hong dodged to the ground paved with boulders, while Xiao Jin shrank into a small ball with a flash of golden light, and landed on Luo Hong's shoulder.
"Two fellow Taoists Zhai, the rest is up to you."
At this time, Gan Ruoyun cupped his hands towards the two Earth Spirit monks.
Although Luo Hong's identity has been determined and he has been allowed to join the team, Gan Ruoyun still did not expose their identities.
The two brothers Zhai Xing and Zhai De seemed to have a taciturn temperament. They simply returned the salute, turned their palms together, and took out a rune knife.
Immediately afterwards, the two men slashed the palm of their left hand with a knife.
Immediately, pitch-black blood dripped onto the ground where everyone was standing.
As the two people chanted incantations continuously, all the dripping blood disappeared into the ground, and soon a blood-colored light array emerged.
And this operation seemed to awaken the place, causing many red-gold runes to appear on the originally ordinary stone pillars around it.
Good guy, it seems that the ancient Earth Spirit monks placed a bloodline seal here. No wonder Gan Ruoyun and others were deliberately protected when they were being hunted before!
After dozens of breaths, the curse chanted by the Zhai brothers suddenly stopped.
Then there was a "click" sound, and the ground beneath everyone's feet suddenly shook, and then slowly fell downwards.
"It's done! Senior Luo, below is the first floor of the Rising Sun Underground Palace.
The ancient puppets left here are quite powerful, seniors, please be more careful!"
Looking at the golden-domed palaces below, Gan Ruoyun reminded him excitedly.
"Don't worry, Luo will keep you safe!"
Luo Hong knew that it was time for him to contribute, and he secretly cheered up.
The real Rising Sun Underground Palace is located extremely deep underground. Even though the boulders underfoot were falling faster and faster, it took a while before they reached the bottom.
"Fellow Taoist Zhai Xing, which way should we take now?"
Looking at the four avenues in front, behind, left and right, Gan Ruoyun couldn't help but ask.
"There, only there is the remaining breath of our ancestors."
Zhai Xing had no expression at the moment.
"Senior Luo, not all of the restrictions here have been lifted, so you must follow the instructions of Fellow Daoist Zhai to stay safe."
After Gan Ruoyun nodded, he cupped his hands to Luo Hong.
"Luo certainly won't ask for trouble."
Luo Hong responded briefly and walked towards the avenue on the left.
Gan Ruoyun and others immediately followed cautiously.
Since Luo Hong kept walking while using his spiritual sense to explore the surroundings, he soon discovered that most of the palaces here were divided into small rooms, and they did not look like they were prepared for high-level monks.
The complete palace is protected by prohibitions, so Luo Hong cannot invade it with his spiritual consciousness, but some of them have been opened by predecessors, and they contain some commonly used furniture and furnishings.
As for whether there are any spiritual materials or treasures left behind?
Of course there is no need to think about it.
And just as everyone was walking through this row of palaces, a yellow stone statue about ten feet tall flashed out under a light array.
I saw that this yellow stone figure was holding a long soldier that looked like a halberd and a moon. It seemed to be wearing a set of armor of a general. There was a Zhiyang seal on the chest that was quite similar to Xiao Jin's body. It was emitting spiritual light at the moment.
"No, it's the Huangshi Taoist soldier! Senior Luo, be careful what he attacks. Ah this"
Although Luo Hong had been told on the road what kind of puppets would appear in the underground palace, Gan Ruoyun couldn't help but remind him when he saw that the most powerful Huangshi Taoist there was.
Leng Yulong and others beside her felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy when they saw this, and they were immediately ready to help Luo Hong.
However, before she could finish her words, she saw Luo Hong pulling the Huangshi Taoist soldier in front of him with a force of heaven and earth, and then with a blur of his right arm, he penetrated directly into the chest of the Taoist soldier that should have been extremely hard.
!
With just a "click" sound, Luo Hong pulled out a red-gold puppet core from the Huangshi Taoist soldier's chest to the position of the Yang seal.
At this time Luo Hong raised his head strangely, looked at the stunned Gan Ruoyun and asked:
"Be careful about what?"
"Damn it! Is the gap between the ninth level of the upper clan and the holy level really that big?
Obviously Elder Hao told us before leaving that if we encounter Huangshi Dao soldiers, we must use the secret technique of combined attack to deal with them as soon as possible!
Also, is the Zhiyang Core something that can be touched with the palm of your hand?!"
Gan Ruoyun just smiled awkwardly on the surface, but he couldn't help but roar in his heart.
"You want to eat this? No, I have to keep this for research."
Faced with Xiao Jin's coveting, Luo Hong refused directly. After all, he might be able to understand some of the secrets of puppetry in the fairy world from this object.
As for the Huangshi Taoist soldier, after losing the Zhiyang Heart Core, it immediately shattered to pieces without any accident.
