The immortals of the two worlds started from farming and refining pills.

Chapter 320: Oasis Mirage, Human-Faced Snake Group (Request for Full Order)
Li Qing was in a good mood after taming a second-level demonized thorn that had developed intelligence.

The three of them chatted for a while, then temporarily canceled the earth escape technique and floated above the yellow sand.

Fortunately, the sandstorm came and went quickly.

At this time, there was no wind in the vast desert. The scorching sunlight sprinkled on the yellow sand, and the world seemed to have become a melting pot.

Fortunately, Li Qing and the other two had ways to avoid the heat and cool down. The spiritual water changed slightly, temporarily isolating them from the scorching heat.

Li Qing looked at the yellow sand all over the field thoughtfully: "Magnetic force has always been precious. It is inexhaustible here, why don't we collect some?"

Sang Yuwan pinched his graying beard and explained with a smile: "This sand is one with the secret realm. It cannot be refined. You can see it and touch it, but you can't take it away."

"That's such a pity." Li Qing threw away the yellow sand in his hand.

Niu Xinjing said: "The opportunities in this secret realm of yellow sand, apart from the ferocious beasts that may appear at any time, are the rare oasis."

"If we are lucky enough to encounter it and gain one or two treasures from it, then our trip will be worthwhile."

Li Qing raised his eyebrows: "I heard that the oasis in this secret realm of yellow sand is not fixed, but is floating around?"

Niu Xinjing spread his hands and said, "I haven't seen it. But Brother Sang, it seems that you got the Jiazi Minglong wood seeds in the oasis?"

Sang Yuwan nodded and said, "I have been to this secret place twice. The first time I got nothing. The second time, I was led by someone and was lucky enough to enter the oasis, but I didn't get much either."

Li Qing asked: "Can the oasis really move?"

Sang Yuwan concentrated on recalling for a moment: "Rather than saying that the oasis moves, it is better to say that it is always in a state of transformation from reality to illusion."

"When it first appeared, it was like a mirage. From a distance, it was clearly visible, but when you were really under it, you couldn't feel it."

“Only by understanding its true nature can we enter the oasis and harvest its treasures.”

The three of them chatted while choosing a direction to trek.

Along the way, all kinds of poisonous creatures lurking in the desert appeared one after another and attacked the three of them fearlessly.

However, the second-level spiritual beast, or demon beast, has never appeared again.

This made them wonder, "Is there some dark hand behind all this? What exactly is making the explosion?"

In this way, the three of them anchored in one direction and walked for six hours.

The sky, which was originally dazzling, gradually dimmed and night fell.

The temperature in the desert dropped suddenly and a thin layer of frost soon formed.

The three of them did not force their way forward, but found a sand dune and set up camp in the leeward place.

Li Qing lit the Nirvana Fire and built a bonfire. The three of them rested while tasting the spiritual food and fruits they brought.

The flames flickered, casting three shadows to sway left and right.

"Rustle, rustle..." The subtle sound of some 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 were at the same level as the foundation building level, and the rest were at the late stage of Qi training.

They have green faces and fangs, snake hair, and snake bodies from the neck down. They are quite uncomfortable to look at.

But the aura they exude is very peaceful.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss..." The leading one raised its head and made an obscure snake sound.

Li Qing didn't understand and was about to use the "telepathic technique", but Sang Yuwan shook his head to stop him.

He squatted down, looked at the group of uninvited guests, pinched his throat, and also made a hoarse roar. The two sides exchanged words back and forth.

Li Qing looked at Niu Xinjing with a puzzled look, but found that the other party also had a confused look on his face.

Fortunately, Sang Yuwan quickly finished communicating with the other party's leader.

He waved at the two of them, motioning them to squat as well: "This is the human-faced snake from the Yellow Sand Secret Realm, an ancient intelligent race."

"The human-faced snakes seem to have become extinct in Qinghe Continent. The stories about the 'beautiful snakes' that are circulated among mortals are based on them."

Li Qing asked curiously: "Since the human-faced snakes are extinct, why do you speak their language, brother?"

Sang Yuwan smiled and said, "Dragons and snakes are inseparable. Our family has this heritage."

After explaining the previous situation, he pointed at the group of human-faced snakes and said, "During their migration, they encountered a sandstorm, and the pack animals that were carrying food got lost."

"They want to use the snake beads they have bred to exchange for some food with us so that they can survive this crisis."

Niu Xinjing was a little surprised: "Don't they have storage bags? And they let pack animals carry food?"

Sang Yuwan shook his head: "The Yellow Sand Secret Realm does not have the main material for refining storage bags, the Void Stone, so we can only rely on trading with foreign cultivators."

"But the storage bag can't be stored in the Dantian. If you encounter a bone-cutting divine wind or a sandstorm, if you're unlucky, it will be consumed."

Seeing the three of them chatting here, the leader of the human-faced snake seemed a little anxious.

She hissed and opened her mouth to spit out a golden gem.

This gem is completely round without a single uneven spot, and it emanates a mysterious vibration that has the effect of dissipating true essence and confusing spiritual consciousness.

Li Qing could tell at a glance that the bead was made from the yellow sand in the secret realm.

Sang Yuwan, Li Qing and Niu Xinjing smiled at each other before introducing: "The human-faced snake in the Yellow Sand Secret Realm has mastered an incredible skill over time."

"That is to use yourself as a furnace to refine the yellow sand containing the power of the primordial magnetism into a precious orb. Because it has been transformed by the human-faced snake, it will no longer be restricted by the secret realm."

Li Qing's eyes lit up: "It turns out there is a way to circumvent the restrictions of the secret realm."

Sang Yuwan shook her head: "If we want to take this orb out, the human-faced snake must give it up willingly, otherwise the secret realm will force it to stay."

Niu Xinjing smiled and said, "This is easy. They are short of food. With Fellow Daoist Li here, it will be a piece of cake."

However, things were not as simple as the three imagined.

Because these human-faced snakes are carnivores and do not eat vegetables at all. Their favorite food is a creature that looks like a pika.

These guys are particularly good at digging holes, can appear and disappear in the desert at will, and are protected by the power of magnetism, so it is not easy to catch them.

Li Qing and his two companions took great pains to catch only a dozen or so, but they were still not enough to feed this small tribe.

With just this little bit of gain, it would be a pipe dream to want to exchange it for a magnetic bead.

Li Qing was very puzzled: "This thing is too difficult to catch. How did they have enough food in the past?"

After another round of communication, Sang Yuwan realized that she had been fooled: "How can they eat so well on weekdays? They are taking advantage of us."

Li Qing and Niu Xinjing: Speechless.

They wanted to leave in anger, but they really wanted the Yuanci Pearl.

What's more, the leader of the human-faced snake claimed that he knew the location of an oasis.
