Chapter 638: Five Directions and Five Ghosts Technique
In the Western Desert, the most powerful proof of the strength of a sect or family is the number, quality, and size of the oasis they control.
The quantity is related to the number of spiritual objects produced, the quality is related to the limit of tolerance, and the key factor of size is the amount of water in the lake in the oasis.
In an oasis, the lake and the amount of water must be related to the most immediate basic survival needs of any cultivator and mortal.
In the Western Desert, in addition to the various wind whistles that continue all year round, there are also some special monsters living, among which the largest number is the sandworm that relies on devouring the desert for food.
These sandworms also have enough glimpses of the oasis. Whether it is the cultivators living in the oasis or the spiritual veins here, they are all urgently needed by the sandworms.
Sandworms are also social monsters, ranging from hundreds to thousands. A third-level sandworm is the king, and they constantly try to erode the oasis by various means.
Any green land that falls into the sandworm will be irreversibly damaged, and most of them will directly become white land and be submerged in the endless desert.
Therefore, if you want to completely control a desert oasis, you need at least a Jindan-stage cultivator to ensure the most basic safety.
Some families or sects that do not have Jindan-stage cultivators can only rely on offerings to barely maintain development and survival in the desert oasis.
Once the oasis is eroded by sandworms, these outsiders also need to fight on the front line, which is also a price that must be paid.
The Qi family has two Jindan-stage cultivators in charge, and also controls two desert oases, one large and one small. The one where Sun Mingsheng is located is the base camp of the family, and it is also the place where the cultivators of all generations have focused on strengthening.
As the family base camp, the Qi family's emphasis on the oasis is unquestionable, and the only middle-stage Jindan elder is in charge.
As an outsider, Sun Mingsheng naturally needs to visit according to custom to show that he has no ill intentions, so as to avoid the hostility of the landlord here.
"Since Fellow Daoist Sun is here to buy magic weapons, the Qi family will welcome him. He only needs to abide by the family's various management in the oasis. Of course, as a Jindan-stage cultivator, Fellow Daoist will naturally enjoy certain conveniences."
The Qi family's Jindan-stage cultivator came out more for a deterrent, not to really shut out all outsiders.
After all, the spiritual objects produced by the two oases, one large and one small, are far from meeting the needs of a family's normal development, so trading is also an inevitable process.
Outsiders in the Jindan stage like Sun Mingsheng usually choose to barter, and the spiritual objects they carry with them are exactly what the Qi family needs to grow and develop.
"The guest follows the host's wishes. Since Sun has appeared in the Qi family oasis, he will naturally act according to the rules. Fellow Daoist Qi, don't worry."
Since Sun Mingsheng did not want to cause trouble, everything was focused on purchasing the magic weapons he needed, and naturally he would not offend the other party's face.
The conversation between the two Jindan-stage cultivators was mainly about greetings. After having a basic understanding of each other's bottom line, it was considered to be over.
Because it was their first meeting, they did not trade directly with the magic weapons and spiritual objects that both parties needed most.
However, after Sun Mingsheng left, the Qi family's Jindan mid-stage cultivator could not help but frown.
"The unique smell of Ban Gu's bird droppings? Is there such a monster in the Song Kingdom's cultivation world? Or is it just the same smell? Did you find anything, Di Ting Beast?"
The Qi family's Jindan mid-stage cultivator did not leave directly, but turned around and asked under a black curtain behind him.
"Moo"
A body that is roughly 60% similar to that of a cow, but with a long and shiny black hair that almost covers the whole body.
At the same time, its limbs are similar to the lower limbs of a sheep, slender and powerful to support the whole body, and the tail is flat, similar to some fish that are obviously larger in size.
The Di Ting Beast in front of him is also one of the Qi family's trump cards. It is said that it has a small amount of blood from the underworld beast Di Ting.
In addition to having a long breath and a keen sense, he is also proficient in controlling evil spirits.
"Is it really the Ban Gu bird droppings? It has only existed for a long time and the smell has faded?"
"Although the family's spiritual medicine 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 object to supplement it. The matter of the Di Ting beast is left to you to handle. The five elements and five ghosts can also go with you."
The Qi family's Jindan mid-stage cultivator did not intend to take action himself. After all, in his opinion, he was just a Jindan early-stage cultivator.
The five elements and five ghosts are divided into gold, wood, water, fire and earth. They are made by killing and refining cultivators with different attributes in their lifetime with different cruel means. Each one is comparable to the second-level upper grade. After the five ghosts merge, ordinary Jindan early-stage cultivators are not its opponents.
In addition, the Di Ting beast is also a genuine third-level lower-grade monster beast. With the cooperation of the five ghosts, it can fight against Jindan mid-stage cultivators without losing the upper hand.
"Moo"
Accompanied by a heavy cry in response, the Di Ting beast disappeared completely in front of his eyes with a gust of gloomy wind.
At this time, Sun Mingsheng had just left the relatively lively market. He only felt a whistling wind around him, and a yin-attributed force coming. Then, under the pull of an unstoppable force, he entered a special environment with whistling wind and no life force.
"Qi family? I don't know how Sun offended them? Why use such a shameful method? Once the news leaks out, won't it destroy the reputation of the Qi family?"
Sun Mingsheng's words were quite firm, without any self-doubt. After all, only the Qi family could use the method of connecting to the local formation in front of him.
"Moo"
Sun Mingsheng's inquiry did not wait for the expected response. The roaring sound had not disappeared, and a huge listening beast had already appeared.
Around the listening beast, five five ghosts with ferocious looks and different attributes also appeared with their fangs and claws.
The aura of the five ghosts was quite obvious. The gold ghost was emitting a lot of golden light, the wood ghost was entangled with layers of green tree roots, the water ghost was bloated, and a fishy-smelling liquid kept flowing out, the earth ghost had a gray mud block on his head, and the fire ghost was the most miserable, with a fishy smell and a unique smell of burning.
The hostility of the five ghosts was quite obvious, and it was obvious that they had suffered unacceptable torture in the last stage of their lives.
"Roar"
After clearly feeling the smell of this monk with a breath of life, the five ghosts seemed quite irritable. If it were not for the restraint of the Di Ting Beast, they would have surrounded it long ago, showing their cruelty.
"Moo"
The Di Ting Beast would naturally not delay indefinitely. For it, it would be the right thing to end it as soon as possible. After all, the Di Ting Beast did not like this meaningless fight.
