第一千六百七十二章 天雷沙

"Tell me, old man, how would I know? But I did read in ancient texts that each member of the family has a special mark implanted by Lord Heavenly Demon. Once they fall, their image is transmitted back to the family..." The balding elder spoke slowly.

"Really?" theinfant spirit was surprised.

"Yes, at least according to the records. That means we can't offend this young man named Fine Blue. Even if the city lord were here, he would never dare to eliminate him. That's why I let him go," the balding elder said with a hint of helplessness.

"But what about us? We came empty-handed and failed to complete our mission. How will we explain it when we return?" "There's nothing else but to be honest. With Heavenly Demon family members appearing, the city lord would surely make his own judgment and won't blame us," theinfant spirit nodded. Indeed, there was no other way.

Meanwhile, Lin Xuan had already been flying for tens of thousands of miles away. Although he hadn’t reached maximum speed, it was still a swift flight. However, Lin Xuan’s face was pale as if drained of color. The consumption of essence energy could be replenished with thousand-year-old spirit milk, but the continuous use of Illusory Shadowevasive technique put too much strain on his physical body.

This time, not only did he lose Essence Energy, but there were also some issues with his meridians.

Nevertheless, Lin Xuan didn’t dare to rest. The distance was still too short for a long journey. Fortunately, they had already exited the range of the other party’s divine sense perception. Lin Xuan took a deep breath and emitted a bright green light all over his body as he flew towards a direction with renewed vigor, far away from this sea area.

After a day and night, Lin Xuan appeared on an unfamiliar deserted island. Closing his eyes, he released his divine sense to confirm that there were no sea creatures or cultivators nearby, nor any traces of high-grade beasts. Satisfied, Lin Xuan retracted his light and slowly descended.

Several sword lights emerged like fish swimming out from him effortlessly as he established a crude abode. Then, Lin Xuan set up an array around the place without hesitation before diving into it.

Crossing his legs in meditation, every part of his body was sore. Lin Xuan took a deep breath, and his entire body was enveloped in a colorful light as the essence energy within transformed into demon qi to nourish his meridians and physical body.

Three months passed unnoticed.

Lin Xuan, who had been meditating like an old monk, finally slowly opened his eyes, got up, and stretched. Compared to when he first arrived here, his complexion was much better. His physical body had fully recovered, and the essence energy was already replenished. He looked robust and strong with no trace of weakness.

After this arduous journey, Lin Xuan had gained a lot, even though he had to hard-fight an old monster from the Void Profound Realm. The treasures obtained were indeed plentiful.

Apart from the magical items shared among everyone, letting his secondinfant spirit escape early was a wise choice. Most of the remaining treasures in the Dan Yue Sect's secret headquarters ended up with Lin Xuan.

Now that he had recovered, it was time to count what he had gained.

Reaching out, he patted his waist, and a dark-colored gourd appeared. The aura emitted by this item was formidable; clearly, it was an ancient treasure of unknown origin.

Such items from ancient cultivators usually possessed great power, and Lin Xuan needed such things after losing many in battles recently.

Of course, to use them proficiently, he first had to study the properties of this treasure.

Holding the gourd with his right hand, Lin Xuan injected some essence energy into it.

Whirr!

A low sound entered his ears as a burst of fiery red sand particles emerged from the surface of the gourd.

Red light flashed!

Lin Xuan's expression changed. Each grain contained considerable essence energy. "Thunder Sand!" he whispered in surprise. He had seen this material in ancient texts, a rare substance indeed.

In a way... it resembled thethunder pearl sold in markets but could be reused. In battle, the Thunder Sand could explode, consuming all its essence energy.

Unlike the thunder pearl, after refining the Thunder Sand, one could reuse it again.

Though each grain of Thunder Sand wasn't particularly powerful, this item excelled in quantity. This was truly a fortunate coincidence to obtain such a formidable ancient treasure.

With his mind racing, Lin Xuan's aura fluctuated as he left the abode and transformed into a streak of light that descended deep into the sea.

As they say, hearing is deceiving; seeing is believing. Although the descriptions in the texts were detailed, only by testing it could one make a final judgment.

Lin Xuan hovered mid-air, looking out at the vast blue expanse. The sea was calm and serene.

Taking out the dark gourd, he swung his hands like turning wheels as he cast a spell.

"Quickly!" Following his command, the gourd swelled with the wind, growing to several feet long before hovering above him. Thunder Sand poured out from it, some grains falling onto the sea surface.

Boom!

A tremendous explosion sent towering waves crashing.

"Not bad, not bad," Lin Xuan's eyes lit up as he saw that its power was even stronger than expected.

However, this treasure had more to offer. Extending his hand, he pointed forward, and the red Thunder Sand coalesced into a massive sand dragon several dozen feet long.

With teeth bared and emitting an immense aura, it looked fierce.

Lin Xuan's expression changed again as he pointed once more, and the sand dragon became a tiger with wings on its back.

After half an hour, Lin Xuan returned to his abode with a smile. This gourd filled with Thunder Sand was inferior compared to supreme treasures like the Supreme Spirit Artifact, but for ancient treasures, it was undoubtedly top-tier.

And this was just one of many items he had obtained.

The Dan Yue Sect's name suggested its origins in alchemy. This was also Lin Xuan’s primary goal on this journey. Unlike other cultivators, hisqualifications were not outstanding. In the past two centuries, he had focused on cultivation and secret techniques while advancing his secondinfant spirit and demon core to the Separation stage.

While his maininfant spirit did show some progress in essence energy, it was negligible compared to his efforts.

The reason? It wasn't because Lin Xuan lacked effort but due to a lack of ingesting alchemical pills. His cultivation had always focused on consuming various spirit pills!~!
