Staying in the sect, controlling beasts and cultivating immortals

"The image of chaotic stars? What does this mean?"

"The so-called chaotic star sign refers to the change of the star signs, which is completely different from the previous rules."

"Such changes occur once every few hundred years, and every time they occur, it means that there will be changes in position and danger in this endless desert."

"Alas, if this is really the case, we may also be lost in this desert. Even my experience will be completely meaningless."

Yu Changsheng frowned and asked, "How could this happen? If this is the case, is it too late to go back now?"

After all, they have only been in the desert for more than ten days. If they take this opportunity to leave, there may still be a chance.

However, Yu Changsheng did not expect that he would be so unlucky this time. As soon as he entered, he encountered such a rare thing that only happens once in a century. He didn't know whether to say that his luck was good or bad.

"I'm afraid it's too late."

"If we encounter a sandstorm on the way, we may be completely lost in the desert. At that time, the desert border may be just around the corner, and you will be heading in the opposite direction."

"We may even go further and further away, so the best way is to stay here. At least the supplies and water here are enough for us to hold on."

"Maybe we can wait until this chaotic star phenomenon passes."

Yu Changsheng asked: "If so, how long will this chaotic star phenomenon last?"

Huang Laodi also shook his head at this.

"This is the first time I've encountered such a strange phenomenon. How can I know how long it will last?"

Huang Laodi stayed on the sand slope for a long time, watching the changes in the stars.

Yu Changsheng did not stay long, as he did not know what other changes this strange phenomenon would cause.

Instead, he immediately went to the place where supplies were sold and bought some miscellaneous things.

If what Huang Laodi said is true, such things are naturally needed.

Although, when a Divine Transformation cultivator reaches this level, his demand for these things has long been extremely low.

But it is difficult to avoid it completely, so it is better to prepare early.

However, Yu Changsheng did not go too far.

I only bought supplies worth a few hundred spirit stones.

Although there are a lot of things, compared to the supplies stored here, it may not even be one-tenth of them.

The most important thing is actually the water source.

Most of Yu Changsheng's spirit stones were used to purchase water.

After storing these things, Yu Changsheng immediately found Chen Xueqing and Lin Hao and informed them of the situation.

After hearing this, Lin Hao said, "So, we might be trapped in this desert?"

"This is probably what Huang Laodi meant. Do you have any solution?"

Yu Changsheng himself was indeed somewhat helpless in this situation.

Lin Hao said: "It seems that we can only ask for help from the sect."

Yu Changsheng also nodded. It seemed that this was the only way under the current circumstances.

the next day.
Just as the team was getting ready to set off.

Huang Laodi said that they should stay here for the time being and wait for two days.

When the other people saw this, they also looked confused and asked questions.

Huang Laodi also said:

"I observed the sky at night and found that there might be a sandstorm in the desert recently. If we go out now, we might get completely lost in the desert."

"So, we'll stay here for the next two days."

"You don't want to lose your life just because you have two days to travel, do you?"

Others are also very worried about this.

But since we are going to stay here, no one will raise any objections.

In the past two days, two more teams have arrived.

At Huang Laodi's reminder, these people did not choose to leave and stayed in this stronghold.

The other guides were also well aware of Huang Laodi's reputation.

Knowing Huang Laodi’s experience, he would not deceive them.

So everyone stayed behind.

But after this went on for three days.

Many people also began to show doubts.

After all, the situation outside is no different from before.

The weather was also very good. Apart from being a little hot during the day, there was no sign of a sandstorm.

Even some guides began to doubt whether Huang Laodi's judgment was accurate.

Moreover, as more and more people gathered here, several people began to crowd into one room.

It was fine for people like Yu Changsheng who came earlier, but those who came later were not so lucky.

Many people also began to complain constantly.

Some newcomers even wanted to leave immediately.

Seeing this situation, many people came to Huang Laodi to discuss the matter.

"Old Di, it looks like there's nothing wrong with the weather. Could it be that this sandstorm is really going to happen?"

"Yes, my little shop is now completely overcrowded. I really can't accommodate any more people."

"If we continue like this, I'm afraid all the supplies in this base will be consumed. That will be really dangerous."

"Old Di, are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"

A group of guides, as well as the inn and shop owners here all came to Huang Laodi's room to ask questions.

However, facing the questioning of the crowd.

Huang Laodi always says the same thing.

"I'm not stopping you. If you want to leave, you can leave at any time."

"But I still stick to my opinion and I won't leave."

Seeing this, the crowd did not hear what they wanted to hear from Huang Laodi, so they dispersed.

Afterwards, this situation continued for another day.

Finally, someone couldn't hold on any longer.

After all, if you stay here for one day, you will have to pay one more day's expensive accommodation fee.

And eating and drinking require a lot of money.

What's more, time is precious, and many people are eager to get to the other side of the desert.

Under so much pressure, someone is finally ready to set off.

As that team left, more and more guides could not bear the pressure.

After purchasing enough supplies, they all left.

However, these people were still a little worried, so each team purchased a large amount of supplies when leaving.

And because there were so many people buying, the boss here had to raise the price a bit, so he made a lot of money.

Even the supplies stored in this stronghold were running low, so they had to send out a communication jade slip to ask people from Fengxiao City to send another batch.

Facing these couples leaving, Huang Laodi just smiled and said nothing.

Still staying here as before.

There is no intention of leaving at all.

As for the other monks in the team, some also persuaded Huang Laodi to leave, but Huang Laodi only asked those monks who were willing to leave to follow other guides.

He didn't care about anything, but he had to find a way to pay for the guide himself.

Although Yu Changsheng and the other two were a little anxious, Yu Changsheng still insisted on his idea, which was to believe in Huang Laodi.

After all, Huang Laodi had already proved his ability on the road before, and he is indeed capable.

In such an unfamiliar environment, Yu Changsheng and Lin Hao's cultivation would be useless, so they naturally had to follow other people's advice. Inside the inn.

The boss also asked the waiter beside him:

"Why hasn't the delivery person arrived yet?"

The waiter shook his head: "I don't know. I'll send another letter to urge them."

"It's weird."

The boss also touched his chin. According to past experience, the delivery team should have arrived long ago since the day he sent the communication jade slip.

But today, there is still no sign of him.

This large-scale delivery in the desert is not as slow as Yu Changsheng's team, which relies on camels as a means of transportation.

Instead, they use a special spiritual animal called the Desert Spirit Bird.

This bird can fly very fast and can carry a lot of weight.

The most important thing is that it can fly to a designated location by itself without human control.

In other words, you only need to put the goods on the bird and let it deliver the goods without the need for people to follow.

The only drawback is that it cannot carry the weight of a human, otherwise this bird is undoubtedly a better means of transportation than a camel.

It only takes the bird two days to get here, which is much faster than the camel.

But even under such circumstances, the bird still was not delivered to its destination.

The boss was also puzzled and said:
"Could it be sent to the wrong place?"

The waiter said, "How is this possible? I'll send a jade slip of summons."

"Alright."

The waiter was just about to go out to deliver the letter.

Then I saw the ground gradually getting darker.

Looking up, I saw that the sky, which was originally bright and sunny, was now rapidly beginning to darken.

The waiter's face instantly turned dark and he immediately ran back into the house.

"Boss, Boss, something bad has happened!"

"Oh no, hurry up and go check it out."

The shopkeeper frowned and shook the rag in his hand.

"What's the fuss? What's wrong? Let you..."

However, before the shopkeeper could finish his scolding, he saw that the atmosphere outside the house had become completely gloomy.

The shopkeeper also walked quickly out of the house and looked up.

I saw that the sky was completely covered by something dark and unknown.

The entire stronghold was completely dark.

"What's going on here?"

At this moment, the strange phenomenon in the sky naturally attracted the attention of many people.

They all copied it and checked it out.

Yu Changsheng couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"Such a strange phenomenon, it seems to be exactly as Huang Laodi said."

However, he could not predict what this vision meant.

Chen Xueqing said: "What about Huang Laodi? Maybe he knows the situation."

Among the crowd, Huang Laodi also had a worried look on his face.

Faced with questions from others around him, he remained silent.

But the next moment, gusts of cold wind began to blow around.

In this hot desert, the sudden cold wind is really uncomfortable.

Huang Laodi shouted, "Everyone, go back inside, don't stay outside."

Soon, there was no one outside.

Many people just looked through the windows to check the situation outside.

As the cold wind intensified, it gradually formed into gusts of wind, sweeping out yellow sand all around, making it increasingly difficult to open one's eyes.

At this moment, everyone present was sure that what Huang Laodi said was actually true.

The desert actually had a storm, and it came so suddenly that people had no time to react.

The shopkeeper was also frightened. When he thought of the teams that had just left two days ago, he couldn't help but sigh.

"In such weather, staying in the desert is almost like seeking death. Alas, I guess those people won't be able to come back."

The waiter standing by was also frightened. Fortunately, he didn't have to leave this place, otherwise he might have been in serious trouble.

Soon, the entire stronghold was completely covered by yellow sand.

Yu Changsheng had no choice but to seal the doors and windows in order to barely resist the erosion of the wind and sand.

Even so, in this fierce wind, the whole house began to shake and seemed like it might collapse at any time.

This situation lasted for three days and three nights.

The fierce gale made everyone in the stronghold feel panic and fear, but they were helpless.

Finally, after three days, the strong winds gradually began to subside.

Yu Changsheng was finally able to leave the room and go out for a look.

The terrain of the entire stronghold has almost completely changed. Most of the rooms have been buried in yellow sand, with only a small corner exposed.

Many people left the room one after another and looked outside, and they were all amazed.

"Oh, I never thought it would turn out like this."

"Such a sandstorm came suddenly. Those who set out early might lose their lives."

"What a pity. If they could have waited two more days, they might have had a chance to survive."

"Now, there's no point in saying anything."

“I don’t know how many will survive.”

These people kept sighing and shaking their heads.

The shopkeeper also had a worried look on his face.

Looking at this dilapidated place, it is a hassle to clean it up.

Yu Changsheng immediately found Huang Laodi and asked, "Now that the sandstorm is over, can we set off?"

Huang Laodi said: "I will take another look at the sky tonight to see if it has returned to normal."

"Let's talk about it then."

Yu Changsheng thought about it and agreed, so he stopped urging her.

Until night, Huang Laodi once again stood on the sand slope and looked up at the sky.

He continued to observe the stars carefully, and after confirming that they had returned to normal, he said to everyone present: "We can set off now."

Everyone is still a little scared, and even their initial eagerness to set off has now made them somewhat hesitant.

However, even Huang Laodi himself has confirmed that there is no problem.

The other guides who stayed behind also immediately organized their men and set off.

Soon, the three or four teams that remained in the stronghold also advanced one after another.

Take advantage of the night to make up for the time wasted as soon as possible.

This time, the team was moving much faster than before.

Moreover, the rest time was changed from one and a half days to one every two days.

And at this half speed, the team's progress was indeed much faster.

This time it only took six days to reach the next base. (End of this chapter)
