The old man smiled and shook his head, and continued: "You two young friends are very powerful. I would like to invite you to join our Shayan family. With your strength, you will definitely be highly respected in our family. We can let you serve as the Supreme Commander. As an elder, the family's resources are at your disposal, and you will be given generous rewards every year. This reward includes rare training materials, high-level skills and secrets, and a large number of spiritual crystals."

Fu Shaoping's heart moved. He looked at Nangong Wan and found that Nangong Wan was also thinking. He silently weighed the pros and cons in his mind. Joining the Shayan Family will indeed bring you a lot of benefits. With abundant resources, your cultivation speed will definitely increase faster, and your status as Supreme Elder will also give you a certain status in this desert land. However, he does not want to be bound by family affairs, and he longs to freely explore the road to immortality.

Nangong Wan was thinking that the Shayan family had lived in the desert for many years and must have some unique cultivation methods and secrets about the desert. If they could join them, they might get unexpected gains. However, she is also worried that the complex relationships within the family will bring trouble to herself and Fu Shaoping.

Fu Shaoping hesitated for a moment and said: "Old man, we appreciate your kindness. But we are used to living a free life and don't want to be bound by family rules."

The old man seemed to have expected it. He said with a smile: "It's normal for my little friend to have concerns. Although our Shayan family has family rules, there are very few restrictions on the Supreme Elder. You can freely arrange your own practice time. You don’t need to worry too much about family affairs. You only need to worry about it when the family faces a major crisis. When the time comes, we need your help. Moreover, our family has an ancient ruins deep in the desert. It is said that there are endless treasures and powerful techniques hidden in it. However, the ruins are so dangerous that our family has not been able to explore it deeply. If you join, you can have priority in picking out the harvest from the ruins.”

Nangong Wan's eyes lit up when he heard this. She said to Fu Shaoping: "Brother Fu, this sounds like a good opportunity. We can have free time to practice and also have the opportunity to explore the ruins."

After Fu Shaoping thought for a moment, he nodded: "Old man, since you are so kind, we can consider joining your Shayan family. However, we want to know the specific situation of the family first, such as the strength distribution of family members and the family's existing achievements. laws and resources.”

The old man was overjoyed: "This is natural, little friend. Our Shayan family currently has five monks in the god transformation stage, including one head of the family in the late stage of god transformation, three elders in the middle stage of god transformation, and dozens of monks in the early stage of god transformation. The family Among the exercises are the "Sand Rock Kung Fu" which is suitable for cultivating earth-attribute spiritual power. This is the fundamental exercise of our family. When practiced to a high level, one can compete with The power of the desert is integrated into one. There are also some scattered skills accidentally obtained from the desert ruins. Although they are incomplete, they are also unique. In terms of the family's resources, in addition to the spiritual crystals and training materials mentioned before, there is also a piece of them. The spiritual field is dedicated to planting spiritual plants. Some spiritual plants suitable for growing in desert environments are planted in the spiritual field, which is of great help to cultivation. "

Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan listened to the old man's introduction and had a deeper understanding of the Shayan family. They feel that this family still has certain potential and appeal.

Fu Shaoping said: "Old man, then we agree to join your Shayan family and assume the position of Supreme Elder. However, we hope to explore the ruins as soon as possible after joining."

The old man said happily: "Okay, okay, welcome you two friends to join the Shayan family. Our family has sent people to guard the ruins. As long as you are ready, you can set off at any time."

Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan followed the old man on the road to the Shayan family. Along the way, the old man enthusiastically told them all kinds of interesting stories about his family.

After an unknown amount of time, a magnificent scene appeared in front of them. I saw a huge sky city suspended high in the sky. The city seemed to be carved from a huge piece of sandstone, exuding a simple and mysterious atmosphere.

The city walls of the Sky City are tall and thick, and various mysterious runes are engraved on the walls. The runes shine with a faint light, seeming to tell ancient stories. Around the city wall, there is a circle of prohibition that emits soft light, like a transparent light curtain, protecting the entire city.

Entering the city, the first thing you see is the spacious streets. The streets are paved with a special kind of sand and stone. Every time you take a step, you can feel the spiritual energy surging slightly under your feet. The streets are lined with unique buildings. Most of these buildings have a rounded shape, as if they have been eroded by wind and sand for a long time. The building materials are also taken from special sand and stones in the desert. After special refining, they become extremely strong.

The roof of the house is sloping, which seems to be designed to better withstand strong winds. There are also some crystals inlaid on the roof. These crystals reflect colorful light under the sunlight, adding a brilliant color to the entire city.

The residents of the city wear clothing that is completely different from those in the lower world. Most of the men wear loose robes. The colors of the robes are mainly khaki and brown. The robes are embroidered with exquisite sand patterns. These patterns seem to have a mysterious power and flow slightly with the actions of the men. A wide belt is tied around their waists. The belt is made of tough sand animal skin and is inlaid with various shapes of spiritual crystals. It is both a decoration and a container for storing spiritual power.

The women wore tight shorts and long skirts, with delicate patterns embroidered on the collars and cuffs of the shorts, which looked like flowers blooming in the desert, delicate and tough. The long skirts dragged on the ground, and the hems fluttered in the wind. They were also embroidered with sand patterns, but they were different from the patterns on men's clothes. The patterns on women's clothes were more delicate and soft. They wore exquisite headdresses on their heads, which were made of various spirit bones and spirit crystals. They were in various shapes, some like eagles with wings spread, and some like blooming spirit flowers.

There was a huge square in the city, and in the center of the square was a towering statue. The statue depicted an ancestor holding a sandstone staff, his eyes firmly looking into the distance, as if guarding this sky city. The square was surrounded by some spirit trees, whose trunks were thick and the leaves were a light blue, rustling in the wind, bringing a coolness to the square.

Deep in the city, there was a magnificent palace, which was the core of the Sandstone Family. The architectural style of the palace is more gorgeous. The gate of the palace is tall and wide, and the historical stories of the family are engraved on the door. Every detail is vivid. Walking into the palace, the interior decoration is even more magnificent. There are precious scrolls hanging on the walls, depicting the glorious achievements of the family.

After Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan settled down in the Shayan family, they couldn't wait to use the sand beast materials they had collected before to refine pills.

They chose a quiet valley as the place for alchemy, where spiritual power is abundant and relatively hidden. Fu Shaoping was responsible for arranging the alchemy formation. He took out some spiritual crystals, buried them underground according to specific directions, and then used spiritual power to outline complex formation patterns. A formation that can gather spiritual power and stabilize the alchemy process gradually took shape. Nangong Wan carefully prepared the sand beast materials on the side. She carefully ground the sand crystal shield material of the sandstorm demon fire beast into fine powder. The powder flashed with crystal light, like tiny stars.

After everything was ready, Nangong Wan poured the ground sand crystal powder into the alchemy furnace, and then added the Lingxin grass and purple star leaves that had been prepared long ago. Fu Shaoping formed seals with his hands and slowly injected spiritual power into the formation under the alchemy furnace. The formation began to operate, and spiritual power flowed into the alchemy furnace like a trickle, and the materials in the furnace began to undergo wonderful changes.

As time passed, the light in the alchemy furnace became stronger and stronger, and a strong medicinal power began to condense in the furnace. Suddenly, the sky changed, and the originally clear sky was quickly covered by dark clouds. Nangong Wan looked up and said solemnly: "Brother Fu, the pill calamity is coming."

I saw lightning flashing faintly in the dark clouds. The lightning of this pill calamity showed a peculiar sand yellow color, as if it was condensed from sand grains. The first thunder calamity fell, like a ferocious sand beast rushing towards the alchemy furnace. Fu Shaoping shouted loudly, and his hands quickly changed the seals. A spiritual barrier appeared above the alchemy furnace. The thunder tribulation hit the barrier, bursting out a dazzling light, and the spiritual barrier also shook.

Then, the second thunder tribulation followed, and this thunder tribulation was stronger than the previous one. Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan looked at each other, and they both shot at the same time, injecting their own spiritual power into the barrier, barely resisting the attack.

At this time, the elixir in the alchemy furnace has gradually taken shape, exuding a charming fragrance. But the pill tribulation will not easily let go of this upcoming elixir. The third thunder tribulation has been brewing in the dark clouds for a long time and finally fell. This thunder tribulation is no longer a simple thunder and lightning, but mixed with the power of the sandstorm. The sandstorm swept the thunder and lightning, with amazing power. Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan did not dare to slack off. They mobilized all their spiritual power and even consumed some precious spiritual crystals to enhance the power of the barrier.

After a violent collision, they finally succeeded in resisting the pill tribulation. In the alchemy furnace, the sixth-level sand crystal heart-protecting pill was finally successfully refined. The pill exuded a soft light, surrounded by a faint sand shadow, as if it still carried the breath of the sand beast.

The two smiled at each other. Although they had gone through hardships, they successfully refined this precious pill, which made them full of confidence in using sand beast materials to refine other pills and explore the ruins.

After refining the sixth-level sand crystal heart-protecting pill, Fu Shaoping couldn't wait to take one. The pill melted in his mouth, and a warm medicinal power quickly spread in his body, like a clear spring in the desert, nourishing his meridians.

He sat cross-legged and began to practice the Qing Emperor Changsheng Jue. This technique was accidentally obtained by him in an ancient monument in his early years. When practiced to a high level, it can be integrated with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and live forever. The operation route of the Qing Emperor Changsheng Jue is extremely complicated and needs to be carried out according to a specific meridian route. If you are not careful, you may go astray.

Fu Shaoping concentrated his mind and calmed his breath, completely immersing his mind in the operation of the technique. He started from Dantian, slowly raising the spiritual power along the Ren channel, passing through Tanzhong and Tiantu, and finally converging at Baihui acupoint. Then, the spiritual power descended from Baihui acupoint along the Du channel, passing through Dazhui and Mingmen, and finally returned to Dantian.

This process seems simple, but in fact, each step requires precise control of the flow of spiritual power, and any slight mistake will cause spiritual power disorder. Fu Shaoping relied on his profound cultivation and rich experience to steadily control the operation of spiritual power.

As the technique deepened, the spiritual power in his body began to undergo qualitative changes. The originally calm spiritual power gradually became active, like a storm in the desert, rushing freely in the meridians. Fu Shaoping felt that every meridian in his body was being washed by this powerful spiritual power, as if to completely remove the impurities in his body.

At this time, the medicinal power of the Sand Crystal Heart Protecting Pill also began to work. The sand crystal shield material in the pill contains a powerful defensive force. This force gradually merged into Fu Shaoping's meridians as the practice was carried out, forming a solid barrier to protect his meridians from damage by the spiritual power storm.

Fu Shaoping felt that the spiritual power in his body was getting stronger and stronger, as if he was about to break through some kind of shackles. He knew that this was an opportunity to break through. He took a deep breath, concentrated his mind completely on the Dantian, and guided the spiritual power to impact the bottleneck of the third level of the Spiritualization.

Once, twice, three times... Every impact made Fu Shaoping feel a sharp pain in his body, but he gritted his teeth and continued to persist. Finally, after a fierce impact, he felt the bottleneck in his body shattered, and the spiritual power was like a flood that broke through the dam, instantly pouring into a new realm.

Fu Shaoping's breath suddenly soared, and the cultivation of the third level of the Spiritualization finally stabilized. He opened his eyes, a gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes, and feeling the surging spiritual power in his body, he knew that he had finally succeeded in breaking through.

Nangong Wan watched Fu Shaoping's successful breakthrough from the side, with a relieved smile on her face. She knew that this breakthrough not only meant that Fu Shaoping's strength had been greatly improved, but also added more confidence to their next adventure.

The moment Fu Shaoping successfully broke through the third level of the Spiritualization, circles of spiritual power ripples visible to the naked eye appeared around his body. These ripples were like real waves, spreading out from him as the center. Wherever they passed, the sand and stones on the ground seemed to be pulled by invisible forces, floating gently and slowly rotating around him.

There was a faint glow on the surface of his skin, as if a layer of flowing light covered it. This light was not a single color, but a halo of blue, gold, and sandy yellow that was transmitted from the inside out. The blue symbolized the vitality brought by the Qingdi Changsheng Jue he practiced, the gold represented the purity and dignity of the spiritual power after the breakthrough, and the sandy yellow was the unique mark of the fusion of the medicinal power of the Sand Crystal Heart Protection Pill with himself.
