Red Sand Wind Chapter 37 Red Sand Continent
Yan Ning, who was holding the classics in his hand, deepened the wrinkles between his eyebrows as the time of consulting increased.
According to the above texts in front of me, this desert that was previously called the 'Red Sand Sea' by the people of the single family should be called the 'Red Sand Continent' to be exact.
can be named as a continent, Yan Ning does not want to try to speculate on its specific scope.
From the few words recorded in these classics, it can be known that since the records of this Red Flame Continent, no one has been able to find the edge in the vast sea of sand.
If the 'Red Flame Continent' is compared to a huge chessboard, then these oases are like chess pieces, dotted around, landing on this vast chessboard.
'Huaibinzhou' is just a drop in the ocean on this chessboard, inconspicuous.
And an oasis of this scale as the 'Huaibin Continent' where he is now can be said to be countless in the entire Chiyan Continent. Near this continent, there are several oases of the same size in 'Yunhu Prefecture' and 'Dingxingzhou'.
According to the classics, there are many oases that are huge, ten times and a hundred times larger than Huaibinzhou, distributed in the sea of sand.
These huge oases are not only abundant in spiritual energy, but also extremely rich in cultivation resources, and high-level cultivators are endless.
It is the place of yearning in the hearts of countless monks of the Red Sand Continent!
The composition of the entire Chiyan Continent Oasis is similar to that of Huaibin Continent.
Some are dominated by families, while others are occupied by sects or alliances of monks.
As the number of monks increased throughout the continent, the resources of some oases became scarce. Many oases will also be reduced to ruins due to the gradual depletion of spiritual power, or even destroyed by huge hurricanes.
In this vast sea of sand, an oasis suitable for monks to live in is even more precious.
The power that controls these oases, like the four major families of Huaibinzhou, must not only consolidate their own power development, but also resist foreign invasions.
Because the wars that break out over these oases are often brutal.
The winning side will basically purge the original power and free up resources for its own development. The bloodiness was no less than the battle of annihilation that Yan Ning had heard of before.
Yan Ning also completely understood at this time, why the Shan family would try their best to win him over before.
A cultivator like him can be regarded as a mid-level or above combat power for 'Huaibinzhou'. Moreover, it is also known for its powerful lethality Thunder Attribute Monk, which is simply an important addition to the combat power of the battle.
I don't know if this 'Huaibinzhou' is located in a remote area, so the information is not detailed, or Shan Wei just gave him the classics related to it. Yan Ning didn't use the pile of information in front of him to find the information he was eager to know, and even the 'Red Sand Continent' itself only had some simple overviews.
With the vastness of the southern region, he still didn't dare to speculate, let alone the unheard of 'Red Sand Continent' now.
And just through these simple records, it is obvious that Yan Ning's previous optimistic estimate has been shattered.
As far as he knew, the kind of things that crossed the continent were almost all strange things that existed in legends. I have always heard of it occasionally in the past, and I have been very yearning for it, but when I really encounter this kind of thing, I am more confused, and even feel a little absurd.
This made him dare not imagine how far away his current position was from the 'Lingyuan Continent'.
Could it be that he will be trapped in this oasis of sand in the future, and it will be difficult to return to Cangyun?
Thinking of this, Yan Ning immediately ended the retreat in front of him.
At the very least, we must figure out the specific situation of this 'Red Sand Continent' before making further plans.
He didn't ask Shan Wei for any other classics, he decided to go to the Sifang City to investigate first. I believe that in the city, you should be able to find a more detailed record, and by the way, take a look at the level of cultivation resources in this Huaibin Continent, and it is best to quietly get something for self-defense.
Using the transmission note left by Shan Wei before, he sent her a message, informing him that he was going to go to the city for a walk.
After all, it is a guest living here, and at least the way of hospitality is still to be talked about.
Packed himself up, and was about to go to the Sifang City, but he met Shan Wei who was coming from outside the attic.
Shan Wei looked at Yan Ning, who had finished half a year of retreat and recuperation in front of her, and her expression was obviously stunned.
The young man in front of him combed his hair and tied it in a bun on the top of his head, and he could see a slight curl appearance. A blue and white open-collared robe, which fits just right, and sets off his broad shoulders and waist. This dress was still chosen for him before, and he still has the down-and-out appearance he saw half a year ago.
In his early twenties, he has sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a delicate face, and is indescribably handsome and elegant.
Yan Ning saw that Shan Wei had been staring at herself, and thought that there was something wrong, so she lowered her head and looked around on her body.
Shan Wei's face flushed, and she said with a smile: "I didn't expect Yan Daoyou to be younger than I imagined, if it weren't for the breath of Daoyou, I really wouldn't dare to recognize each other rashly, Yan Daoyou wouldn't blame Shan Wei for being abrupt, right?"
She seemed very close to each other when she spoke, and with her somewhat unexpected expression, she suddenly resolved the embarrassing situation just now.
"How could Yan Ning blame. Fang just sent a message to Daoyou, and was about to go to the Sifang City for a walk. Similar to Shan Wei's eyes, Yan Ning had already seen it and replied lightly.
Shan Wei nodded and said, "I was also just about to go out to the shops in the city when I received a message from a fellow Daoist. Yan Daoyou has just arrived, and he is not very familiar with the situation in the city, so let the little girl act as a guide for Daoyou!"
After finishing speaking, Shan Wei smiled and made a gesture to ask Yan Ning to go first.
Yan Ning naturally didn't want to refuse, so he followed her to Sifang City.
Along the way, Shan Wei asked Yan Ning about her injuries with great concern and whether there was anything she needed help with. He also let him not be polite, although he said it bluntly. When he learned that Yan Ning had recovered, he seemed very happy to congratulate him. also joked from time to time that Yan Ning was not only younger than her, but her cultivation was even higher than her, which made her ashamed of herself.
Then, he carefully told Yan Ning about the situation in the Sifang City. In particular, how many industries the single family has in the Sifang City, intentionally or unintentionally, conveys to Yan Ning the strength of the single family in this city. For some other shops passing by and the unique products of Huaibinzhou sold in Sifang City, they are like a number of treasures.
After walking around, Yan Ning also had some understanding of this small square city under Shan Wei's introduction.
Seeing that Shan Wei was going to a store of the Shan family, he said that he wanted to visit again.
Shan Wei didn't force it, handed him a storage bag, and walked into his store without waiting for refusal.
Yan Ning took the storage bag with a wry smile, there were more than 100 spirit stones in it, obviously the other party knew that he was shy in his pocket, and he was afraid that he would not be able to wipe his face, so he threw it directly to himself and left.
For this empathetic woman, Yan Ning still has a good impression.
Make a note of this favor in your heart, thinking that it will be a big deal to find a chance to repay it in the future.
According to the direction in his memory just now, Yan Ning came to the largest place in the city to sell classics.
"This fellow Daoist, but what kind of classics and exercises do you need? The small shop is the richest in the city, and you can choose at will. An elderly and pedantic shopkeeper in the store greeted him warmly.
"I want to find some historical geographical records, I don't know if your store has them?" Yan Ning asked tentatively.
"Fellow Daoists have come to the right place! In this square city, my 'Jing Shuzhai' has the most complete collection of these out-of-the-way things. On the third cabinet inside, there are all relevant records that Daoists said, and Daoists can choose by themselves. ”
The old man in charge pointed to a row of bookcases in the middle of the store and introduced to Yan Ning.
Yan Ning nodded, walked straight to the place that the old man said, and picked it according to the catalog on the top of the cabinet.
Sure enough, as the shopkeeper said, there are quite a variety of jade slips here, and the content of the record is much more detailed than that provided to him by Shan Wei. After replacing more than 100 spirit stones with various jade slips, the old man in charge was even more enthusiastic than before.
According to the records on these jade slips he selected, although this 'Red Sand Continent' is not as boundless as he knew before, it is not much different.
The entire continent is made up of deserts, except for a mountain range to the west.
The place where he is currently located should be the relatively barren eastern region of the 'Red Sand Continent'.
The oases in this area are not large in size or in number. One of the largest oases, 'Minshan Continent', according to Yan Ning's estimates, can be the size of a county in Qi State.
According to the records in the jade slips, there are many monks in this continent, even if they are Jindan monks, there are quite a few.
However, the record that Yan Ning was really interested in was precisely on the west side of the continent, the giant mountain range that was like a moat, lying in the middle of the sea of sand.
This mountain range is vast, even if it is compared to the sand sea, it is not too much.
So far, few people have been able to enter it and exit safely.
It is said that this mountain range is full of monsters, and it is said that it is the remains of a true dragon that have fallen and turned into a powerful monster attack.
This record is quite similar to a legend in Yan Ning's memory.
It seems that if you want to return to the 'Lingyuan Continent', you will probably have to look for some clues from here.
However, judging from Yan Ning's current state, Mo said that it is difficult to cross the sand sea to reach the western region, and even to cross the sand sea and go to several oases near Huaibinzhou.
But now that you have a clue, you should plan your next arrangements.
With his current situation, it is obvious that he can't do anything. It seems that I will have to stay in this Huaibinzhou for a while in the end.
Joining a single family to become a guest secretary should be one of the best choices at present.
First, you can continue to inquire about some news here, collect more information to facilitate your next move, and adapt to the environment of the Red Sand Continent by the way.
Second, you can do some tasks under the cover of Keqing's identity, and quietly add some magic weapons and equipment for yourself, so that you can use it to cover yourself in the future.
Third, he has a good impression of the people of the single family, anyway, he plans to stay here for a while, so it is better to join the single family temporarily to do some modest efforts, which can be regarded as repaying the previous favor.
The next thing to do is to restore the cultivation as soon as possible, and with the cultivation of the foundation, you can have the capital to travel through the sand sea. If you try to get a magic boat that is rushing in the sand sea, if you just fly away by yourself, you will definitely not be able to stand the climate in the sand sea.
Presumably, when everything is ready, I will be able to reach there even if it takes me a little longer.
With clues and goals, Yan Ning finally saw the hope of going home.
Originally, the feeling of loss that was far away from the 'Lingyuan Continent' also settled down a lot.
Next, you just need to follow your own plan and implement it step by step.
Subsequently, Yan Ning asked the old man in charge for some exercise books to check, wanting to have a preliminary understanding of Huaibinzhou's immortal cultivation system.
Probably due to the geography of the sand sea, the mainstream exercises here are mainly based on fire and earth attributes. And judging from the profundity of these exercises, they were obviously worse than those that Yan Ning had seen in Lingyuan Continent Fang City before.
This Huaibinzhou is located in a remote place, and the level of immortal cultivation is not too high, which makes him a little lacking in interest.
Continuing to walk around the city that Yan Ning thought was about the size of Fang City, there were several ores unique to the sand sea that made him excited.
However, he was shy in his pocket, so he could only go back to the attic arranged by the Shan family for himself.
