Sun's journey to immortality

Sun Mingsheng did not refining the Spirit Beast Tower rashly. After leaving the Qi Family Oasis, he moved forward with all his strength, constantly changing directions in the dry and lifeless desert to prevent the Qi Family from jumping over the wall to pursue him.

Five days later, more than 100,000 miles away from the Phantom Oasis, a larger oasis appeared in front of Sun Mingsheng, and it was protected by a city wall carved with a large number of formations.

The construction of city walls in the world of cultivation is not easy. Each city wall brick needs to be refined with spiritual materials using special methods, and different patterns are carved according to different positions.

A complete city wall requires at least a hundred formation mages to work together for several years to build.

In the realm of cultivation in the Song Dynasty, only one of the largest cities belonging to the four major sects had a city wall built for protection.

In the desert environment of the Western Regions, the construction of the city wall also needs to consider the carrying capacity of the oasis. The city wall can only be built above large oasis. If it is built by force, it will be a disaster rather than a blessing and consume the potential of the entire oasis.

Most of the deserts in the Western Regions are in an absolutely barren and arid state, so almost all the essence appears in oases, and large oases are the best among them, just like the pride of heaven in the desert.

In addition to spiritual veins, springs, and land, there are usually certain mineral veins or fixed outputs of other spiritual objects that naturally exist according to local conditions, and their quality is the best among the same level.

It is precisely because of these unique spiritual objects that the entire Western Desert is famous for its weapon refining, and has earned the reputation that "products produced in the Western Desert must be high-quality products."

Compared to the Qi's Oasis, the oasis in front of you is a large oasis called Phantom Oasis. It is owned by Jiuzhou Sect, a large sect in the desert of the Western Regions, and is famous for producing a Phantom Pearl.

The Phantom Pearl does not appear in some kind of mineral vein, but is produced by the Phantom Clam that lives in the springs of lakes.

The phantom clam is a very strange creature that can only thrive in the springs of the phantom oasis. Once it is transferred to other equivalent oases, the clam beads it produces will lose all their effects. Just one Just ordinary clam beads.

Over time, relying on this kind of phantom clams and clam beads, the phantom oasis also has a special position in the entire Western Desert. In order to ensure the safety of this place, the Jiuzhou Sect specially dispatched a Nascent Soul elder, four golden elixir monks, and hundreds of monks. A monk in the foundation-building stage or above is in charge.

Of course, the clam beads produced by the Phantom Oasis are not only used by the Nine Provinces Sect itself, but are also sold to the outside world to prevent other monks from jumping over the wall.

Jiuzhou Sect is the third-ranked sect in the entire Western Region. It controls about a hundred oases, large and small. It dispatches monks with different cultivation levels to guard them according to the size, quality and other comprehensive conditions of the oases.

There are five elders in the Yuanying stage in the sect, including one great monk in the late Yuanying stage, one monk in the middle stage of Yuanying, three monks in the early stage of Yuanying, and more than a hundred monks in the Golden Core stage.

The desert of the Western Region seems barren, but the supply of various resources is relatively abundant, which is far better than that of the Song Dynasty's cultivation world.

"Who is here? Do you have the Phantom Oasis identity token?"

As soon as Sun Mingsheng approached the Phantom Desert, an early Jindan monk wearing iron armor and holding an iron gun came up to him.

In large oases where special spiritual materials or spiritual objects are produced, the management of monks is relatively strict. Only ancestors in the Nascent Soul stage can have privileges, which is not within this scope.

"This is my first time coming to the Phantom Oasis. I came specifically to buy magic weapons and Phantom Clam Pearls. Please make it convenient for me, fellow Taoist."

A monk in the early stage of Jindan was guarding the door. Sun Mingsheng naturally did not dare to be careless in this situation, and expressed his intention clearly.

"Fellow Taoist, are you planning to stay permanently or temporarily?"

For this kind of situation, the early Jindan monk guarding the city gate was already familiar with it. After all, the Kyushu Gate and the Phantom Oasis were famous, and outsiders often came here because of their reputation.

"I will leave within the second half of the year"

When Sun Mingsheng first came to the Western Desert, he naturally would not spend all his time in an oasis.

"That's temporary residence. Taoist friends only need to leave their own aura on the wooden sign."

After half a cup of tea, under the guidance of the gatekeeper monk, Sun Mingsheng successfully completed all the steps, stepped through the city gate, and entered the famous Phantom Oasis.

Jiuzhou Sect requires outsider monks to leave their personal aura just to prevent someone from causing trouble. As soon as the six-month time limit is up, the identity token and personal information will be destroyed at the same time.

Compared with Qi's Oasis, which has a relatively compact layout, Phantom Oasis is the same as most cities, with different regions divided according to different functions.

At the core of the oasis, near the Spirit Lake, is the residence of the Jiuzhoumen monks. Outsiders are not allowed to enter without being invited, and any intruders will be expelled immediately.

The second level has relatively abundant spiritual power, and houses and caves of different grades are specially built for rent to earn spiritual stones needed to maintain the protective formation.

The house is located in an area with poor spiritual power and is rented out to monks in the foundation building and Qi refining stages. The cave house covers a large area and has specialized spiritual veins to supply spiritual power. Only monks in the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages are eligible to rent.

In fact, in the desert of the Western Region, the division of strength is more strict and cruel than in the Song Dynasty's cultivation world. Only those with corresponding cultivation levels can have corresponding treatment.

When Sun Mingsheng was building the ninth floor, renting a cave with a third-level low-grade spiritual vein at a high price was completely impossible in the desert of the Western Region.

At the outermost edge of the Phantom Oasis is Fangshi, which occupies more than two-thirds of the entire oasis and is also the largest area.

"Phantom Clam Pearl, Phantom Clam Pearl, each one is a fine product from Phantom Oasis. All Taoist friends are welcome to come and buy it."

"The fresh phantom clams are available for purchase now, all based on the luck of fellow Taoists."

"The spiritual weapon refined with phantom clam beads can be used to set up a second-level phantom array. Fellow Taoists, don't miss it if you pass by."

"The alchemist of Jiuzhou Sect produces first- and second-level elixirs with guaranteed quality and affordable prices."

As soon as Fang entered the phantom oasis, all kinds of hawking sounds filled his ears. Basically, they relied on mountains and rivers to sell phantom clam beads and the spiritual weapons and spells refined from them. The device is the main one.

Sun Mingsheng came here to buy the phantom clam beads and the required magic weapons, so naturally he didn't mind stopping to observe.

"It's a pity that these phantom clam beads are the lowest existence with various flaws, but they are of little use to me."

Sun Mingsheng lowered his cultivation aura and suppressed it to about the late stage of foundation building. After some observation, he was quite disappointed.

The clam beads produced in the Phantom Oasis are divided into four different levels. The fourth level is that these are born with defects and can only refine some low-level magic weapons and low-demand spiritual weapons to meet the needs of monks in the Qi Refining Period. .
