said it was a banquet, but Zhang Mingchuan was the only one who could eat with You Ding.

Zhang Mingchuan looked at the food piled up like a hill in front of the table, and You Ding, who was sitting in the main seat, beckoned Zhang Mingchuan to try the special food of this sand country.

"This boiled mirage is a specialty of the Zhusha Country, and it is a delicacy that can only be produced in the Yigao River in the center of our city." As he spoke, You Ding picked up the mirages on the table and showed Zhang Mingchuan how to pry open their hard shells and take out the mirages in them.

"Well, it's indeed delicious and the meat is full." The largest clam Zhang Mingchuan had ever eaten in the current world was only the size of a fist, and he looked at the plate-sized mirage on the table, and he also felt very novel.

"Hahaha, usually cultivation is boring and boring, it's rare for me to have this hobby, but at this glance, Brother Xiao Ming is a person who knows how to eat." You Ding couldn't help but praise when he saw that Zhang Mingchuan was so proficient in eating.

Zhang Mingchuan also said while eating the boiled mirage: "Thank you Brother You Ding for your hospitality, and also taste my dry food." After speaking, he took out a piece of plasticized braised essence meat from his backpack, and with a wave of his hand, a wind blade flew to the table with braised essence meat in support of it.

"It's a strange beast! And the taste is so delicious and flavorful, it's amazing. "As a human race in the desolate world, although there are many alien beasts, they are also not easy to catch for cultivators in the realm of refining themselves, so the meat of alien beasts can only be eaten occasionally, and the energy contained in it is the biggest difference from ordinary meat.

However, the taste of this piece of marinated essence meat in You Ding's hand is so delicate and complex, which is surprising to the native human race of the desolate world who lack condiments.

"To be honest, I also love food, and this lean meat has such a flavor after my cooking." Zhang Mingchuan explained.

"Oh, the life of Brother Xiao Ming is really enviable, I think I was also high-spirited when I first entered the Tao, who would have thought that I could only be in this vertical sand country all these years, but our national strength of the vertical sand country is not strong, and no one has reached the entry requirements of the white jade mountain for three generations." You Ding said with some sadness, as if he saw the fate of his life.

"And my talent is not superb, I'm afraid that only when I find an heir can I get out and seek opportunities. Take this opportunity to fight for a glimmer of opportunity. Although You Ding accepted the offering, it seemed that he had no worries about food and clothing, but in fact, it was more like being raised in captivity by the Zhusha Country.

"Brother You Ding, don't be discouraged, I don't know what kind of place Baiyu Mountain you have in mind." Zhang Mingchuan asked.

"Baiyu Mountain is the master of this quicksand, it is the number one cave blessed land in the entire Eastern Regions, it is said that only when you reach the second realm of the Huangting realm can you have the entry qualifications, the mountain is full of strange beasts, the monks in the mountains suddenly feed on the strange beasts to supplement the consumption in cultivation, and the aura on the mountain is even stronger, so everyone is making rapid progress, and the highest realm has the power of the Yang God to sit in charge, and occasionally open the altar to preach and solve doubts." You Ding said with a yearning expression.

"Hearing you say that, it's indeed a holy place for cultivation, but is the richness of the aura really that important?" Zhang Mingchuan cultivates merit and luck, which is different from the heaven and earth aura cultivated by the Honghuang monks, and there is no one to solve the puzzles, so there will be this question.

"Hey, Brother Xiao Ming can eat and eat strange beasts, but he doesn't know how to be blessed in the blessing, the monk needs to consume a lot of heaven and earth aura if he wants to cultivate, if he cultivates in a place where the aura is insufficient, I am afraid that it will be difficult to break through every layer of the first realm refining body realm, and when he reaches the second realm of the Huang Ting realm, the aura required to concentrate is even more terrifying." You Ding explained.

Zhang Mingchuan heard You Ding's explanation, and finally felt that the cultivation techniques of the monks of this Flood Desolate Continent seemed to be different from his cultivation techniques, Zhang Mingchuan's cultivation consumed merit and luck, and every breakthrough was unhindered, and there was no need for aura, but according to what You Ding said, the monk's cultivation was to constantly replenish himself with the aura of heaven and earth.

Zhang Mingchuan knew that being different was not necessarily a good thing, but it was even more clumsy, especially now that he had just refined the third layer of his realm, he could only be regarded as a beginner who had just started among the monks, so he didn't continue to ask.

"By the way, Brother You Ding, I found that the fireball you released when you killed the locusts was not small, and you are also a hardworking person." Zhang Mingchuan said.

"When I absorbed the aura, I was closest to the fire energy between heaven and earth, so the aura cultivated in my body was all fire attribute. I see that Brother Xiao Ming, you have just refined your own realm, and you can fly against the wind, and the aura you want to absorb is the wind attribute. You Ding also asked Zhang Mingchuan.

"Hahaha, that's right, so I don't have enough damage now, I can only slowly consume this group of locusts, if I am like Brother You Ding, I will destroy them with a wave of my hand." Zhang Mingchuan said.

"I still envy you, Brother Xiaoming, who are agile and unrestrained. I was able to travel at such a young age. After You Ding finished speaking, he continued: "The aura of different attributes determines the different development directions of the monks, and it is impossible to say which is stronger or weaker. ”

Zhang Mingchuan knew that his own qi practice was different, the qi practiced by others was the aura of heaven and earth, and the qi practiced by himself was merit and luck. Disguising as a wind attribute monk was Zhang Mingchuan's way of hiding himself.

"Are you the only monk in this sand country? So where are the elders in your family? Zhang Mingchuan asked.

"Break through the second realm, the life span is no different from that of mortals, Huang Ting has a lifespan of two hundred years, and the ninth turn has another five hundred years, the yang god is already an immortal on the earth, and he is beyond the world." You Ding casually said the long-standing slip of the tongue in the monk world.

"And my master may have died because he didn't break through to the second realm, and after I reached the fifth layer of the self-refining realm, my master traveled to the wilderness to find an opportunity. When I find a successor and leave a legacy, it will be the same. This is the fate of our Cultivating Realm Minor Cultivators. You Ding said.

"To be able to become a monk and get rid of an ordinary life is already stronger than many people." Zhang Mingchuan thought of the nearly 10 billion people in the current world, who can't escape birth, old age, sickness and death, no matter how powerful he is, he will only live for a hundred years, but he can eventually become a land immortal.

"You're right, becoming a monk is much better than those beings in the city, and there is no reason to give up." You Ding said.

"Don't talk about these things, I've traveled a lot of places, and this mirage has made me think of a way to eat, let's change the way to eat." Zhang Mingchuan asked You Ding for some fresh mirage.

First, a plant rhizome with a ginger-like flavor is used as the base, which is unique to the Gobi seasoning, and put it on a heated stone slab to burst the flavor.

Then Zhang Mingchuan took out three mirage scallops, cut them into thin slices, and put them on the stone slab to stir-fry quickly.

Seeing that the scallop slices were cooked, he took out the thirteen-spice spice mixed in the backpack and sprinkled it on it.

"Brother You Ding try it, although the boiled one can be eaten originally, but it is a little bland, try it and see how my mirage with secret seasoning is." Zhang Mingchuan took a plate of stone slab roasted mirage pillars and put it on the table of You Ding.

"This taste! It has become more complicated than your piece of lean meat just now, is this really the mirage I usually eat, and the taste of this tendon pillar, tender, crispy, elastic, and refreshing, is completely different from the taste of boiling. As soon as you took a bite, You Ding fell in love with this new practice.

"Although the way of eating slate roast is different from boiling, the biggest difference is in my bottle of special seasoning, which is made by collecting different plants from various mountains and finally grinding and blending." Zhang Mingchuan took out a bottle of thirteen spices and said.

"You're the first to taste my special spice." Zhang Mingchuan said.

"Thank you Brother Xiao Ming for sharing, after tasting this taste, I am even more reluctant to let you go." You Ding said.

"If you like it, I'll give you this bottle of spices, which is a return gift to thank you for your hospitality." Zhang Mingchuan waved his hand, and the seasoning in his hand fell on You Ding's table.

"How can I accept such a valuable gift." You Ding wanted to accept it very much, but he was a little embarrassed, and he said that he refused, but his eyes were full of reluctance.

"As the saying goes, when you go out, you rely on your friends, and it's nothing to give a friend a can of spices, and I'm also very happy to see that my friends like to eat what I concocted." Zhang Mingchuan said.

In this way, at a feast, both sides ate very happily.

"I haven't had a good rest like last night for several days, Brother You Ding thanks for the hospitality, but it's time for me to continue on my way, I wish you a smooth entry into Baiyu Mountain." Zhang Mingchuan, who had rested for one night, submitted his resignation to You Ding.

"Thank you, brother Jiyan, Lu Qishan is located in the quicksand, not close to here, you gave me such a precious seasoning yesterday, I have some specialties of the sand country, you enjoy it slowly on the way, it should be enough for you to eat for a while." You Ding handed over a package.

Zhang Mingchuan, who couldn't refuse, took the package, and the two sides said goodbye.

Zhang Mingchuan was flying in the Gobi, and the Zhusha Kingdom behind him could no longer be seen, and while he was resting, he opened the package sent by You Ding.

The air-dried mirage took up most of the weight of the package, and all that was left was two or three chestnut-sized stones with a glimmer of light, and a set of clothes woven from unknown silk.

"I am wearing the clothes of the current world in this desolate world, and Brother You Ding has a heart." Change into the clothes prepared by Shang Ding, this is a set of cyan silk robes, after putting it on, it will not invade the cold and heat, and it will not be stained with dust, so miraculous, it is a dress that only monks are qualified to wear.

Zhang Mingchuan, who had changed his clothes, looked no different from the monks in the wilderness.

"Could this stone be the spirit stone that You Ding said before?" Zhang Mingchuan took out the stones in the package, and when chatting with You Ding, he learned that the aura of heaven and earth is insufficient, and the stones, plants, and beasts that contain aura are all indispensable things for monks.

The stones, plants and trees containing spiritual energy are born along the heavens and the earth, and there is no regularity in the appearance, which is the role of the monks to protect the mortals in the city, and a large number of mortals will go to the field to search for spiritual stones and spiritual grass, and hand them over as tribute after finding them.
