Chapter 638 Five Directions and Five Ghost Techniques
In this desert of the Western Region, the most powerful proof of a sect or family's strength is the quantity, quality, and size of the oases it controls.
Quantity is related to the amount of spiritual objects produced, quality is related to the tolerable limit, and the key factor of size is the amount of water in the lake in the oasis.
In an oasis, lakes and water volume must be related to the most important basic survival needs of any monk or mortal.
In the deserts of the Western Regions, in addition to the constant howling winds all year round, there are also some special monsters that survive. The most numerous of them are sandworms that rely on devouring the desert for food.
These sandworms also have enough insight into the oasis. Whether it is the monks living in the oasis or the spiritual veins here, the sandworms are in urgent need of it.
Sandworms are also gregarious monster beasts, ranging from hundreds to thousands. With a third-level sandworm as the king, they are constantly trying to erode the oasis by various means.
However, any green space that falls into sandworms will cause irreparable damage, and most of it will directly become white land and be submerged under the endless desert.
Therefore, if you want to completely control a desert oasis, you need at least a Golden Core monk to be in charge to ensure the most basic safety.
Some families or sects that do not have Golden Core monks can only rely on offerings to barely maintain development and survival in desert oases.
Once the oasis is invaded by sandworms, these outsiders will also need to fight on the front line, which is also a price that must be paid.
The Qi family has two golden elixir stage monks in charge, and also controls two desert oases, one large and one small. The one where Sun Mingsheng is located is the headquarters of his family, and it is also the place where monks of all generations have focused on strengthening.
As the family headquarters, there is no doubt that the Qi family attaches great importance to the oasis, and the only middle-stage Jindan elder is in charge.
As an outsider, Sun Mingsheng naturally needed to visit the house according to custom, to show that he had no ill intentions and avoid being hostile to the landlords here.
"Since Fellow Daoist Sun is here to purchase magic weapons, the Qi family naturally welcomes him. All he needs to do is abide by the family's management of the oasis. Of course, as a Golden Core Stage monk, Fellow Daoist Daoist will naturally enjoy certain conveniences."
The appearance of the middle-stage Jindan monks of the Qi family was more for the purpose of intimidation, not to truly shut out all outsiders.
After all, just relying on the spiritual objects produced by the two oases, one large and one small, is far from being able to meet the needs of a family for normal development, so trading is also an inevitable process.
Outsiders in the Golden Core stage like Sun Mingsheng usually choose to barter, and the spiritual objects they carry with them are exactly what the Qi family needs for its development and growth.
"As you please, host. Since Mr. Sun appears in Qi's oasis, he will naturally act according to the rules. Don't worry, fellow Daoist Qi."
Since Sun Mingsheng never wanted to cause trouble and focused on purchasing the magic weapons he needed, he naturally would not refute the other party's face.
The conversation between the two golden elixir stage monks was mainly based on pleasantries. After they had a basic understanding of their respective bottom lines, it was considered over.
Because it was the first time they met each other, they did not directly trade the magic weapons and spiritual objects that both parties needed most.
It's just that this middle-stage golden elixir monk from the Qi family couldn't help but frown after Sun Mingsheng left.
"The unique smell of Bangu's bird droppings? Does this monster exist in the Song Dynasty's cultivation world? Or is it just the same smell? Can you find anything about the Listening Beast?"
The golden elixir monk of the Qi family did not leave directly. Instead, he turned around and asked under the black curtain behind him.
"Moo"
One was about sixty-seven percent similar in size to a cow, but it was covered in long, shiny black hair that almost covered its entire body.
At the same time, its limbs are similar to the lower limbs of a sheep, slender and powerful supporting the entire body, and its tail is flat, similar to some obviously larger fish.
The Tingting beast in front of him is also one of the Qi family's tactics to suppress the situation. It is said that it has a small amount of blood of the underworld beast Tingting.
In addition to having a long breath and keen sense, he is also proficient in controlling ghosts.
"Is it really Bangu bird droppings? Is it just that it has existed for a long time and the smell has faded?"
"Although the family elixir garden has enough spiritual power to support it, the barrenness of the land is becoming increasingly obvious. It is in urgent need of this special spiritual creature to supplement it. I will leave the matter of the Listening Beast to you, and the Five Elements and Five Ghosts can also be used. "Peer"
The Qi Clan's middle-stage golden elixir monk had no intention of taking action personally. After all, in his opinion, he was just an early-stage golden elixir monk.
The five elements and five ghosts are divided into metal, wood, water, fire and earth. They were refined by choosing monks with different attributes during their lifetimes and killing them with different cruel methods. Each one is comparable to the second-level top grade. After the five ghosts are combined, ordinary early-stage golden elixir monks are not among them. opponent.
In addition, the Listening Beast is also a genuine third-order low-grade monster. With the cooperation of the five ghosts, it can fight against the mid-stage Golden Core monks without falling behind.
"Moo"
With a thick cry in response, the Listening Beast rotated with a gust of wind and completely disappeared from sight.
At this time, Sun Mingsheng had just left the relatively lively market. He only felt the whirling and whistling wind around his body, and the coming of a Yin attribute force. Under the pull of an unstoppable force, he entered a world. The dark wind is howling, and there is a special environment with no life force.
"The Qi family? I wonder how Sun was offended? Why did he use such a shameful method? Once the news leaks, wouldn't it destroy the reputation of the Qi family?"
Sun Mingsheng's words were quite firm, without any self-doubt. After all, the only ones who could use the method in front of him to connect to the local formation were the Qi family.
"Moo"
Sun Mingsheng's inquiry did not receive the expected response. Before the roaring sound disappeared, a huge listening beast had already appeared.
Around the listening beast, five ferocious-looking five ghosts with different attributes also appeared with their teeth and claws.
The aura of the five ghosts is quite obvious. A large amount of golden light is emitting from the golden ghost. There are layers of cyan tree roots entangled on the wooden ghost's body. The water ghost is bloated and has a smelly liquid flowing up and down. The earth ghost has a piece of gray mud on its head, and the fire ghost is the most miserable, constantly emitting the fishy and unique smell of burning.
The hostility in the five ghosts is quite obvious, and they obviously suffered unacceptable torture in the last stage of their lives.
"Roar"
After the five ghosts clearly felt the scent of monks with the breath of life, they became quite violent. If it were not restrained by the listening beast, they would have surrounded them long ago, showing their ferocity.
"Moo"
Naturally, the listening beast will not delay indefinitely. For it, it is only right to end it as soon as possible. After all, the listening beast does not like this kind of meaningless fighting.
