"Whew-", the west wind swirled across the dunes, the quicksand was like a pour, and the sand grains jumped to join the trajectory of the wind, smashing their heads and faces towards a figure that appeared out of thin air.

Before his vision was completely clear, he saw a large patch of yellow rushing over, Gu Xizhan quickly dodged to avoid it, but he was still swept by the tail of the wind, and he was thrown off with a grain of sand.

"............" She silently wiped the dust off her face, looked at the unusually familiar scenery, and choked speechlessly.

She seems to have a special connection with the desert.

In the middle of the day, a rotating pillar of sand rose into the sky on the sand in the distance, echoing with the sun overhead, dyeing the sky and the earth golden. The heat wave on the desert rose and fell one after another, and the scenery in front of me was blurred by the heat wave, and it seemed to be an illusion one by one.

The desert at noon was too dangerous, and he subconsciously licked his lips that had begun to dry up, Gu Xizhan lowered his head and looked at a thin sword qi that appeared on his fingertips, flickering and flickering, fragile like fireflies, but it shattered into powder and disappeared in an instant.

What the main thing said was true, there was not the slightest aura here, and the spiritual power in the body had just been triggered, and before it had time to pass out of the body through the meridian pulse, it would return to a pool of stagnant water, which was what she expected, but unexpectedly, even the sword qi was limited.

The original intention of the rules was just to create a relatively fair competition, and for most people, the boundaries of cultivation were like a moat, and if they didn't seal their cultivation, it would be impossible for almost all Qi cultivators and foundation building monks to enter the second round.

But at this time, being sealed and cultivating brought her a great crisis, Gu Xizhan squinted her eyes and looked up at the sun that had just climbed overhead, if she couldn't find shelter in time, even if she was physically strong, she would die in this vast desert sooner or later......

"Smack!", a small piece of sandstone broke off from the parent body, sinking deep into the ground, and was soon buried in the yellow sand. A slightly pale hand clasped the boulder, Gu Xizhan gasped, slowly walked to the shade, and sat down against the boulder.

The nasal cavity was full of a hot burning sensation, the clothes on her body had long been soaked with sweat, and the beads of sweat on her forehead kept sliding down her face, lining her face a little more haggard, too wide of the scenery would affect people's judgment, and it took her to walk here for a long time than expected.

Closing her eyes slightly, she suddenly felt a less obvious burning and twitching sensation coming from her left upper abdomen, as if something in her body was contracting and squirming.

This is...... She was stunned, and from the memory that had begun to be forgotten for a long time, she turned out this feeling that had long become unfamiliar, this was ...... Hunger?

From the beginning of her cultivation, she must have taken Bigu Dan from time to time, and after building the foundation, she no longer even needed Bigu Dan, and the few experiences of starvation occurred before the age of five. And now, she actually experienced hunger again, and her heart suddenly felt bad, without aura, even if she had become a pill, she still could not continue to open the valley, and the food in the desert was not as abundant as elsewhere.

Now, I'm in trouble.

Shaking her head, she pressed the water issue for the time being, she can still hold on for a long time, and the most important thing at the moment is to be familiar with the rules of the small meeting.

Untied the jade plate from the waist side, looked at it, Gu Xizhan pinched his fingers, and a bloody mouth immediately appeared on his index finger, and he threw a few drops of blood on the jade plate at will.

I saw that the red light flashed, and two lines of ink characters slowly appeared on the jade plate, the top line was her name, and the bottom was a "zero". Immediately, a spiritual light jumped out of it, hitting her eyebrows, Gu Xizhan closed her eyes slightly, digesting the information in it.

The first level of this small meeting lasted four months, participants need to find a designated thing in this secret realm called "Hao Ting" to accumulate points, Hao Ting secret realm every fifty years has a year of no spirit period, not only monks, demon beasts and demon plants can not use spiritual power during this period, it is the most suitable place to use as a test place.

The points determine the ranking of the first level, and after four months, the first thousand can enter the second level, and the others will be eliminated.

The Gulan Great World has a vast territory and a large population, and although the secular realm is separated from the cultivation realm, and the cultivation path is extremely difficult, the monks can still count tens of billions.

As a grand event that almost all the proud sons of heaven will attend, even if it is stipulated that the bone age must be less than 100 years old, millions of monks will still participate in each time.

In the first level, only a thousand people remained...... One in a thousand!

There is also a list in the aura, which includes the names of all things and the corresponding points, but that's all, there is no additional description of half a point, the appearance and habits are not mentioned, and even whether it is a beast or a plant or something else is not explained, whether you can recognize it depends on your personal ability, it seems to be a test of the knowledge of all cultivators.

The jade plate was given to everyone by Yancheng, and it itself was a medium-grade spiritual weapon, which could block the full force of three ordinary Jindan late-stage monks, and it could be regarded as a guarantee for everyone when life and death were at stake, and there was a small space in it that could only enter and exit.

In addition, if someone can't hold on, they can leave the secret realm by crushing the jade plaque, but they will immediately lose their qualification for the small meeting.

The number on the card is the points, as long as the found items are put into the small space in the jade card, the numbers on it will automatically change, and the points and rankings on the stone tablet outside the secret will also change.

Although the Haoting Secret Realm is not a blessed land, it is also rich in products, and it is a treasure hunt that many people can't ask for, so everyone goes out of the secret realm, and the points they get need to be handed over forty percent, and those things that are not in the list, whether they are rare or waste, as long as you have the ability to take it out of the secret realm, then it belongs to you.

………………

This level is to test everyone's insight, strain, heart, insight and luck, and I don't know what the content of the competition will be, Gu Xizhan pressed the corner of her forehead, and tied the jade card back to her waist, the sky was darker, she got up and turned the boulder, only to see a dark red sunset sticking to the border of the desert, the earth seemed a little dark, the entire sea of sand seemed to be frozen, and the black lines showed a bit of strange abruptness.

The desert night was about to fall, and now was a good time to hurry, she took Qingge in her hand, looked around, and finally fixed her gaze on the huge rock dozens of meters high beside her.

Do you want to climb up and take a look? She didn't know where to go now. Gu Xizhan raised his head, looking for the most suitable route to climb on the boulder, and at this moment, "Goo...... ............", the left abdomen suddenly twitched violently, accompanied by the feeling of fire burning, unwilling to be lonely.

"......", the hand holding the sword stiffened for a moment, Gu Xizhan pulled the corners of his mouth, and an inappropriate thought suddenly appeared in his mind - could it be that this level still tests survivability?

Outside the secret border, a Qi cultivation disciple who was in charge of squatting was eating spiritual rice, and suddenly turned his head and asked his companion, "Senior Brother Xiang, can I ask you a question?"

"Ask, what's the matter?" said the white-clad monk, muttering at the chicken thighs.

"Why do we have to prepare Bigu Dan for the seniors who went in?"

"Phew!", spit out the chicken bones, and Bai Yi gave him a burst of chestnuts, "You are stupid! You don't know that there is no aura in it? How can you go to the valley without the aura? If you are not ready to do it, do you want to let the seniors go hunting like hunters?"

Shrinking his neck, Lian Qi covered his head and muttered in a low voice: "That, that morning that female cultivator...... Whew!", before he finished speaking, he was shocked again.

Bai Yi covered his mouth, with a look of hatred that iron is not steel, "You be quiet, do you have any points in your heart?

He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so he leaned closer to Lian Qi and whispered, "On the token of the morning one, there is a 'Ling'. At that time, he was standing relatively close, so he looked at the things on it clearly, and when he saw the other party's eyes widen, he let go of his hand with satisfaction, and Lao Cheng sighed and said in a deep voice: "Don't try to speculate on the thoughts of those sword cultivation seniors." Maybe those crazy people just want to exercise the hunting skills of their juniors?
