The sandstorm was moving very fast. Bafanglaicai reported the coordinates several more times, and it wasn't until the fourth time that Jiang Yan finally got close to him!

The yellow sandstorm raged against the wind. The moment Jiang Yan broke out of his lightning transformation state, he felt as if he were being blown away by the wind. Fortunately, Bafanglaicai reacted quickly and grabbed him tightly!

The sandstorm lashed against his body, causing hundreds of damages every second. Jiang Yan quickly cast a lightning shield on himself before squinting at Bafanglaicai.

But amidst the raging sandstorm, the Eight Directions Wealth Brings Wealth, with its six wings, was frantically flapping its wings, fighting against the surrounding wind and sand.

"What kind of skill is that?" Jiang Yan asked, somewhat surprised.

Currently, many players already own flying mounts, but very few have flying skills.

Even Jiang Yan only has Thunder Strike and Shikigami - Flying Crow, and these two skills either only last for seven seconds or have a one-hour cooldown, making them very inconvenient to use.

On the other hand, Bafanglaicai flew through the sandstorm for a long time, which shows that the skill is very durable and powerful, otherwise it would be impossible to withstand the sandstorm!

Hearing the envy in Jiang Yan's tone, Bafanglaicai laughed loudly, "This is a skill I awakened at level 80. How about it, awesome, right?"

"You're level 80?" Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow.

He's been either traveling or on missions lately, so his time for leveling up is really limited.

"Hmm." Bafang Laicai nodded emphatically: "The top ten on the level ranking are all above level 80!" As he spoke, Bafang Laicai vigorously patted the six wings on his back and flew against the wind and sand to the left.

When the sandstorm raged, the noise was so loud that the two had to raise their voices to communicate.

"Let's not talk about that now," shouted Bafang Cailai. "The spiritual matter is right ahead!"

Jiang Yan grabbed the Eight Directions Wealth with his backhand, steadied himself, and then focused his attention on the front.

Unfortunately, the sandstorm in front of him resembled a yellow, misty rain curtain, layer upon layer hanging in front of him, making it impossible for Jiang Yan to see anything behind the sandstorm.

"Closer!" Jiang Yan shouted.

With a determined effort, Bafanglaicai unleashed a powerful thrust, his six wings creating afterimages that propelled the two forward with tremendous force.

After passing through layers of sand and dust, Jiang Yan finally saw the spiritual substance ahead!

It was a round, yellow windball, about the size of a fist, rolling around in the sandstorm with great spirit. At first glance, it was quite delicate and cute.

Above the yellow typhoon warning ball, a white exclamation mark was clearly floating.

Just as Jiang Yan was about to check, he saw that the wind ball seemed to have sensed something and flew away with a whoosh.

Seeing this, Bafanglaicai, without needing Jiang Yan's instructions, immediately gritted its teeth, flapped its wings, and chased after them.

Jiang Yan looked around and saw only raging sandstorms everywhere, making it impossible to distinguish east from west, let alone chase the storm ball. But Bafanglaicai seemed to have a GPS navigation system installed, turning left and right, and found the storm ball again in just a few minutes!

This time, Jiang Yan wasted no time and immediately locked onto the white exclamation mark above the typhoon signal to check its hidden information.

Seconds later, the whirlwind disappeared again. Bafanglaicai was about to give chase when Jiang Yan stopped him: "Let's get out of here first!"

Bafanglaicai was taken aback for a moment, then exclaimed with delight, "You know how to subdue this wind ball?"

Jiang Yan nodded slightly: "I've seen it in an ancient book. It's called Sandstorm Wind. Only wood with a quality of +20 or higher can withstand its power."

"Quality +20?" Bafanglaicai gasped in surprise.

He had collected all kinds of high-quality timber and ore when he was doing business before, but the highest he ever collected was +12!

Where is he supposed to get wood with a value of +20 or higher?

"Don't worry, I have some!" Jiang Yan had some in his backpack, and it was a [Burial Wood] with a quality of +30!

However, this wood must never be leaked, otherwise if the evil forces find out, he will never have peace again!

After leaving the sandstorm, Jiang Yan gave Bafang Laicai a few instructions, then used the [Return Scroll] to return to Sandstorm City. He then took the teleportation array to the 142857 Newbie Village.

Several days passed, and the starting village became increasingly quiet, with hardly any players to be seen except for NPCs.

Jiang Yan quickly arrived at the blacksmith shop in the beginner village. It was empty, without a single person in sight.

"The boss hasn't run away, has he...?" Jiang Yan hurriedly entered the blacksmith shop: "Boss, boss?!"

"Stop calling, I'm here." A lazy voice came from under the counter.

Jiang Yan looked down and saw the blacksmith shop owner taking a nap on a recliner. He chuckled and said, "There's no one in the newbie village. I thought the owner had run away."

"Even if you run away, I won't." The blacksmith rolled his eyes in annoyance and said, "What good equipment did you get this time?"

"This time it's not equipment," Jiang Yan said in a low voice. "Boss, I'd like you to make me a wooden box."

"A wooden box?" The blacksmith looked at him with disdain. "Go find the carpenter on the corner. Don't bother me."

"That won't do. Of all the people on this street, I only trust you, boss," Jiang Yan said in a deep voice.

"Hmm?" The blacksmith, being a shrewd man, immediately realized something and hurriedly asked, "What kind of wood are you using?"

"[Burial of the Hollow Wood]!" Jiang Yan whispered.

"Buried..." The blacksmith gasped, "You, you actually managed to get your hands on this legendary wood? Are you really not afraid of death?!"

Clearly, the blacksmith shop owner also knew the significance of the [Burial Wood]!

Jiang Yan feigned nonchalance: "That's why I asked you, boss, to build it. I don't trust anyone else."

"Alright!" The blacksmith was very decisive this time, nodding immediately and saying, "Quick, give me the wood, I'll forge it for you right away!"

Jiang Yan looked back to make sure no one was outside before taking out a piece of [Burial Wood] from his backpack.

The blacksmith took it and examined it carefully. After a while, he exclaimed, "I never thought I would have the chance to see this legendary wood. Perhaps..."

"Perhaps what?" Jiang Yan sensed that the blacksmith shop owner seemed a bit strange.

"It's nothing, just wait a moment," the blacksmith said, turning and going into the back room.

Soon after, the sound of sawing wood came from inside, followed by a series of banging sounds.

A dozen minutes later, the blacksmith shop owner came out, holding a black wooden box about the size of a football.

"Boss, this wooden box..." Jiang Yan frowned slightly.

The color of 【Burial Wood】is not black!

"You know how precious this wood is, so I specially covered it with a layer of black ironwood. Unless you open it, no outsider will be able to discover the trick inside." The blacksmith shop owner had a slight smile between his brows.

"I see, the boss is very thoughtful." Jiang Yan took the wooden box, opened it, and saw that the wood inside was indeed [Burial Void Wood].

"I won't charge you this time. Alright, you can go now. I'm going to continue sleeping." The blacksmith shop owner yawned and lay back down in his recliner.

No charge?

Jiang Yan looked on with suspicion.

He had known this old man for so long, but he had never seen him so generous before.

Could it be that he withheld my [Burial Wood]?

"Why aren't you leaving yet?" The blacksmith shop owner was very impatient. With a wave of his hand, he used his authority as the shop manager to kick Jiang Yan out, and then closed the door, shutting down the shop.
