Chapter 859: The Rainless Desert
dyman disciples. He couldn't help but smile wryly. Joining a cultivation sect was for the sake of seeking immortality, but at the beginning, he had to do these chores. It wasn't just hard work, but it...The young man surnamed Fang invited five people. When hunting the monster beasts, Qin Sang and his group commanded the Heavenly Cold Wind Fierce Array.
“The last piece of cold stele encountered some unexpected issues, and it won't be refined until tomorrow. Daoist Qin, please observe Daoist Qiu and the others practicing their formations first. Once Fang has finished refining the cold stele, we will set off immediately.”
The young man with the surname Fang said something, then leaped into the air above the cold pond. He took out a broken crystal tablet, absorbed the cold air, and began refining it.
Qin Sang greeted everyone individually and then found a spot to meditate quietly beside the Cold Pond.
The man surnamed Qiu, whose real name was Qiu Ji, called others to practice the formation. In order to let Qin Sang see each change clearly and keep up with the pace, they deliberately slowed down the speed.
Another cultivator Qin Sang had met was named Chu Heng.
The other two were named Luo Kun and Ma Debao.
They used to be free cultivators, but now they have been recruited as attendants by sects near Tianxing Island. They joined smaller factions to avoid too many restrictions.

Chu Heng is best at formations and restrictions like that. The eye of the current Heavenly Cold Gale Formation is controlled by Chu Heng, and now he's leading others to practice the formation.
Luo Kun was taciturn. He simply nodded lightly at Qin Sang as a greeting.
That monk named Ma Debao had an unappealing appearance. Two small eyes were embedded in a big, flat face, and his eyeballs rolled around constantly. When he looked at Qin Sang, it seemed like he was brazenly peering into his secrets.
Including Qin Sang, the five people were all cultivators at the middle stage of Jindan.
Qin Sang observed the changes in the formation, his gaze unintentionally landing on the young man surnamed Fang.
When Qin Sang entered the cave with the young man surnamed Fang, he cautiously awakened the Heaven-Eye Butterfly to prevent any ill intentions from the youth. He also set up a prohibition within the cave.
Unbeknownst to them, they found no ambush but instead noticed something unusual about the young man surnamed Fang.
Generally, Qin Sang wouldn't allow the Tianmu Butterfly to use its divine ability of clairvoyance without his consent. The spiritual awareness of a cultivator at the Core Formation stage is very acute; if discovered, it could lead to enmity.
The Heavenly Eye Butterfly did not directly pry into the secrets of the young man surnamed Fang, so he was not detected. There seemed to be a layer of mist on the young man's body, which even the Heavenly Eye Butterfly could not see through.
This came as a bit of a surprise to Qin Sang.
The supernatural powers of the Heavenly Eye Butterfly have been repeatedly verified. Not only can it pierce through illusions, but it can also easily see through disguise techniques.
When breaking out of Yu Heng Island, a fish demon at the late stage of the demonic core and having taken the Emperor's Flowing Liquid attempted to sneak attack him, but was seen through by the Sky-Eye Butterfly.
And just recently, cultivators from the Xiyou League all fell to Qin Sang's hands because of the Heavenly Eyed Butterfly's abilities.
Fang's surname, Qing Shang, must possess some kind of secret treasure or divine ability that allows him to conceal himself and resist probing, rendering the Tianmu Butterfly useless.
The speed at which Qiu Ji and others practiced their formations was increasing.
After watching it once, Qin Sang's expression turned serious. He had no other thoughts on his mind because the cold wind was more complex than he expected, and with the Cold Stele not yet complete, it could only evolve into part of its changes.

They five would need to fully understand the spirit formation to deal with a late-stage demon core demon. On their way to the demon lair, they could only practice non-stop.
Qin Sang didn't dare to be negligent, carefully recording every change. Unknowingly, a day passed.
The next day at noon, the young man surnamed Fang finally refined the Cold Stele. After a brief discussion, everyone decided to set off immediately.
To save time, they didn't choose to take a boat. The young man surnamed Fang took out a flying magic treasure, everyone took turns controlling the treasure to rush the road, and others cooperated to practice formations.
After leaving the island, the young man surnamed Fang manipulated his magic treasure and headed north directly. The glow of the magic treasure was like a shooting star, passing over the sea surface.
"Fang Daoist, you've been keeping this so close to your chest, not willing to reveal even a hint. Could that beast's lair be in the Beihai Rain Desert"
Madame de Beaulieu, after rubbing her mustache with the tip of her finger, asked in a sharp tone.
The young man surnamed Fang raised his eyelids and smiled faintly, "Fellow Daoist Ma, you're overthinking it. From Tianxing Island to the northern sea, the desolate land of Yu Mo, this distance takes more than a year or two to reach. Before we even reach halfway, all of you fellow Daoists would be getting restless. The place we are going is on the edge of the northern sea, only two months' journey from here. Once we reach the lair of the demonic beast, you will know what kind of monster it is."
Qin Sang nodded secretly. If he spent too much time on the road, he would have to consider it carefully.
The place spoken of by the two, the Rain Desolate Land, is in the deep North Sea, near a unique area of storms.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Some people try to divide the Inner Sea into four sea areas, but in fact, the shape of the Inner Sea is not regular and is roughly a long strip that is narrow from north to south.
Before, Qin Sang searched for the senior Qingzhu, visiting the Liefeng Archipelago in the Southwest Sea. If he hadn't returned then and continued westward, he would have soon reached the storm belt on the western side of the Inland Sea.
But if one were to travel north, the journey would take much longer, and the first place they would reach would be a tempestuous sea of torrential rain, known as the Rain Desert.
It is said that the Beihai Sea is the region most affected by storm belts, especially the Yumu area, where heavy rain never stops and the sun is never seen. Ordinary people could not possibly survive in such a place.
Therefore, besides islands with spiritual veins which might have cultivators, the rest are desolate. This place is not as chaotic as the Split Wind Archipelago, but it is definitely the most barren and lonely region in the inner sea.
Jiujian lightly exclaimed, "In the Inland Sea, it's not a wasteland where rain doesn't fall. How is it that this powerful monster hasn't been hunted down by great cultivators"
The beast lived well, and was extremely arrogant.
The young man surnamed Fang nodded, "The reason I discovered this demonic beast was because a friend of mine leading a merchant caravan was attacked by it. Not only were the goods destroyed, but my friend almost lost his life to the beast's fangs. He managed to escape with his life, but he was seriously injured, his foundation was shattered, and his cultivation was gone, leaving him like a useless cripple. I hunted this demonic beast to avenge my friend."
“Fang Dao-you, great righteousness...”
As light flashed and sped through the air, the inner tranquility of their magical treasures restored itself. Qin Sang and the others focused intently on practicing the formation. The young man surnamed Fang manipulated his treasure, his eyes flickering as he gazed at the monotonous sea.
Shortly after they left, several blurry figures appeared at the edge of the island.
These people were dressed strangely, all in black robes as if ashamed to be seen. The exception was the shopkeeper from Tianxing City.
Facing these people, the shopkeeper’s expression was very careful, with a hint of flattery.
“Senior brother has already left with people, and we should also set off. Junior brother, after we leave, those late-stage old ghosts will be up to you to contact. Be sure to keep them stable so that when we really need people, we won't have enough manpower. These people are not needed for the time being, but Senior brother said that the information he got may not be accurate, and there may be twists and turns.”
One of the robed figures turned and stared at the shopkeeper. Judging by his voice, he was the same person who had dealt with Tianxing City and Qin Sang.
The shopkeeper nodded eagerly, "Master Brother, rest assured, junior brother will do his best.", there was never the legendary scene of heroes gathering and heaven and earth clashing.Please note that the original content was empty. I have only returned the HTML tag as requested.Twenty days is...
