Three hundred miles outside the Devil City, in a dry river valley.
The Scorpion King crawled out of the sand. Jiang Yuebai jumped off the Scorpion King's back, shook his head to shake off the sand, and lifted up half of his faceless mask to spit out the sand in his mouth.
A streak of light flashed across the blood-red sky with great momentum, leaving a red trail of light in its wake.
Jiang Yuebai put on his mask and asked worriedly, "Do we really not need to run further away?"
Ruosheng took out his Zen stick and stuck it into the ground, and gusts of fresh breeze spread out.
"Don't worry, this place is safe."
The injury to Jiang Yuebai's sea of consciousness had not yet fully healed, so he really couldn't run any more.
Ruosheng stood beside the Scorpion King and took out a pill from his clothes and fed it to it.
"Don't go back to that insect nest. If you have nowhere to go, you can take root in the ruins of Prajna Temple. It's relatively safe there."
The Scorpion King burrowed back into the sand and disappeared silently.
Jiang Yuebai drank the spiritual wine to replenish his spiritual energy and asked, "Are you a monk from Prajna Temple?"
"Give me a sip of wine, too." Ruosheng stretched out his hand.
Jiang Yuebai took out a new gourd of Xuanbing wine and threw it to him, "You really are a wine and meat lover."
Ruosheng sat cross-legged, raised his head and drank, "It's great! Some things need to be experienced before giving up, so as not to have regrets, just like fasting."
Hearing this, Jiang Yuebai nodded vigorously, feeling like he had met a soulmate.
"Yes, yes, that's right. I haven't even tried it yet and you asked me to give it up. I'm obsessed with it, so it's no big deal to try it."
Ruosheng turned his head and smiled at her, "Fellow monk, I am Ruosheng, but I did not ask for your name."
"My name is Jiang...Chen Zhou."
After thinking about it, Jiang Yuebai decided to use the Taoist name.
Ruosheng nodded, did not make any sarcastic remarks, and continued drinking.
Jiang Yuebai was puzzled, "Don't you think there is something wrong with my name?"
"It's a good omen to burn your boats. The name is not important. What's important is that the donor is a good person."
Jiang Yuebai was a little surprised. When this monk became unserious, he really didn't look like a monk. But he was the one who took his Taoist name most seriously. It was really a contradiction.
"Why do you think I'm a good person?" Jiang Yuebai asked.
Ruosheng remained silent, thinking of that night when Jiang Yuebai stood in front of those Qigong monks and blocked the Yama Ants.
In this world, there are not many people who can still see the weak.
"Why did you want to kill Sha Yingjie? Was it a personal vendetta?" Jiang Yuebai asked again.
Ruosheng drank the last sip of wine and stood up. Under the setting sun, his red dress was warm and his clean face was not stained with a single speck of dust.
"Too much curiosity can cost lives. The Flowing Sand Region is in troubled times. If you have nothing to do, you should leave the Flowing Sand Region as soon as possible, listen to others' advice, and eat your fill."
"I'm fasting." Jiang Yuebai said unhappily.
Ruosheng smiled and shook his head, turned around, drew his Zen stick and prepared to leave, but Jiang Yuebai called him.
"Wait, I want to ask, did that magical object from heaven and earth really appear in Prajna Temple more than a hundred years ago?"
Jiang Yuebai had a hunch that Ruosheng was the monk from Prajna Temple. She forgot where she had seen this sentence.
One thought of ignorance leads to the extinction of Prajna, and one thought of wisdom leads to the birth of Prajna.
When she first heard the name Ruosheng, she thought of this sentence.
Ruosheng did not look back, with his back to Jiang Yuebai, and a sense of loneliness suddenly rose from his body.
"That thing is long gone, and we will never see it again."
Ruosheng walked westwards facing the setting sun, leaning on his Zen stick.
Jiang Yuebai sat there and whispered to himself, "It's gone a long time ago, which means it really appeared. I still won't give up and want to look for it."
On the night when the Yama Ant appeared, she heard Zhong Shanhu mention that a small secret realm appeared near the ruins of Prajna Temple. Regardless of whether the news was true or not, she wanted to explore it.
Jiang Yuebai looked towards the direction of Devil City. Sha Yingjie had the ancestor behind him, and she also had the Tianyan Sect behind her.
If something really happened, as long as she could hold on and hide, she could crush the jade talisman and ask for help. The people of Tianyan Sect would see the cracks in her life plate and send someone to rescue her.
The injury to his sea of consciousness had almost recovered. Jiang Yuebai summoned the Flying Core Boat, which covered his tracks and sped low, heading for the oasis in the middle of the Quicksand Region, where there was a market town.
After running quickly and making sure the surroundings were temporarily safe, Jiang Yuebai lifted the mask to the side of his head and took out the spoils of war.
In order to survive, Zhong Shanhu and Yu Tianlie sold all their belongings, leaving only more than 2,000 low-grade spirit stones and some monster materials.
Yu Tianlie is a talisman maker. Jiang Yuebai found a good quality talisman pen and some talisman sand in his storage bag.
Then there was an old animal skin scroll, which recorded the method of making the "Lianzhu Fu".
This is a special method of making talismans, which can combine three to five ordinary offensive talismans into a "linked talisman".
Compared to multiple talismans that need to be activated one by one in advance and then thrown out, the chain talisman is faster to activate, saves more spiritual energy, and is more powerful.
She was not prepared before and thought it was an ordinary fire bomb talisman, so the hair on her forehead was burnt by the continuous fire bomb talisman.
This method can not only make 'Consecutive Fire Bullet Talisman', but also 'Consecutive Wind Blade Talisman', 'Consecutive Ice Arrow Talisman' and so on, which is a good harvest.
Put the useful things in the bracelet and throw the useless things into a pile for the time being.
Jiang Yuebai took out Sha Yingjie's storage ring, two golden talismans, the fragment of the Yuanshen scimitar, the cracked bronze bell and the boots that were pulled off Sha Yingjie's feet.
The materials used for the Yuanshen Scimitar are really good, but now they can only be thrown into the Five Elements Lotus Platform as garbage to refine the five elements essence.
The defensive copper bell had several cracks and it definitely could not be repaired, so it could be considered garbage.
There are two golden talismans, one is the talisman - Ice Chi Sword, and the other is the golden armor talisman soldier.
The production method of golden armor soldiers is similar to that of talismans. They are all made by Jindan monks, sealed in golden talismans, and left for future generations to use.
Although the Golden Armored Soldiers are powerful, they also have major shortcomings. They cannot be repaired like puppets, nor are they as flexible as puppets. They have high defense and brute force, so they are quite good as meat shields to attract enemy firepower.
Jiang Yuebai had noticed the pair of boots on Sha Yingjie's feet a long time ago. They allowed Sha Yingjie to walk in the air like a Jindan cultivator, which was very convenient in places where he could not control flying magic weapons.
So she took the shoes off the corpse without hesitation, swept them twice more with the Dust Purification Technique, and tried to dye the white shoes into black so that she could wear them herself.
Sha Yingjie's storage ring is inlaid with a ruby as big as a pigeon egg, which looks very exaggerated and luxurious.
Jiang Yuebai carefully used his spiritual sense to test it several times, and only after confirming that there were no strange restrictions on it did he erase the spiritual sense mark.
"Uh... Why does this rich man have so few spiritual stones?"
Jiang Yuebai swept his spiritual sense across the storage ring and saw only a little over a hundred medium-grade spirit stones.
After being stunned for a moment, she thought carefully and realized that he was the young master of Mingshafang and whatever he wanted was taken directly from his own shop. The spirit stones were probably only used to restore his spiritual energy.
"Reasonable. Very reasonable."
Scratching his face, Jiang Yuebai took out the few things in the storage ring one by one.
The seventh-grade basalt shield was the same one he had exploded before.
A spare machete, of slightly lower quality than the previous one, but of the same style.
There were two palm-sized seals, both of which were of the seventh grade. One was made of white jade and had a white tiger carved on it, and the other was made of metal and had a golden dragon carved on it.
"White Tiger and Golden Dragon Seal, it looks like it's used to hit people."
These are the magic weapons, not many, but all of them are top-quality. Then there are three fire thunder beads, which Sha Yingjie probably missed when he grabbed them one by one.
The power of this thing is indeed greater than that of the Heavenly Thunder Seeds. If used properly, three or five of them can easily kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator. I don't know how it was refined.
Next came the jade slips, three in total. Jiang Yuebai was overjoyed after reading them.
The method of refining the Fire Thunder Bead, the sixth-grade body movement "Treading on the Clouds" that comes with the Treading Cloud Boots, and the method of using the Beast Soul Demon Pill to refine the Essence!
Jiang Yuebai clasped his hands together, "Master Young Master, you are truly my benefactor!"
