The immortals of the two worlds started from farming and refining pills.

Chapter 323: Pure Snow Sand, Oasis Appears (First Update)
After exchanging spider silk, Li Qing selected some items of interest from the stalls of the big frogs and fish-headed people.

When he finally arrived at the stalls of the Golden Scorpion and the Silver Beetle, Niu Xinjing was still there, having a pleasant conversation with the leaders of the two tribes.

These two races are born with the ability to condense the yin and yang energies, and are also well-known in the Yellow Sand Secret Realm.

Niu Xinjing established his Taoism based on yin and yang, and he also had some extraordinary insights in this regard.

In the end, he exchanged a bucket of Yin-Yang jade with the two tribes for a copy of his newly revised martial arts skills.

On the other hand, Sang Yuwan also exchanged the eggs of a spiritual beast called "Dragon Frog" from the frog leader.

Needless to say, this is a new species of dragon that is not available in Yanglong Lake.

About a day and a night later, the seven secret races completed their annual resource exchange.

After the pack animals of the human-faced snake tribe were lost, the bulk of the goods that could be used for trading were lost, and they could only use their fine resources to exchange for supplies for survival from other races.

Li Qing felt that their lives were difficult, so he ripened a large amount of inferior spiritual rice and helped them exchange it for meat from other vegetarian races to fill their stomachs.

So everyone was happy.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Li!" The human-faced snake leader burst into tears of gratitude.

The cat-headed leader patted Li Qing on the shoulder, almost causing him to stumble and fall to the ground: "Hey, fellow cultivator, you are such a good person! If you have the chance in the future, you are welcome to visit us."

Thus, the transaction between the intelligent races in the Yellow Sand Secret Realm came to an end.

The other tribes returned along the same route they came from, with a full load. Only the human-faced snake tribe remained, taking back the magnetic orb and erasing the mark of the magic circle.

Li Qing and the other two were ready to leave. It was a memorable experience for them to see so many different species.

But their stay was limited, and they had to search for the legendary oasis in the remaining ten days.

The human-faced snake leader was silent for a moment, then took out two second-grade magnetic beads: "Thank you all for your help along the way. Please accept these two beads."

Before they could refuse, the leader turned his head and looked at one of the cracks: "Follow this road to the end, you will find a salt lake."

"When the moon is full, we will use the magnetic beads together to form a three-talent formation, and then we can enter the oasis you are looking for."

Li Qing and the other two looked at each other and asked, "Are you serious?"

The leader of the human-faced snakes smiled and said, "This is a secret that has been passed down from ancient times. If it weren't for the fact that the three of you Taoists are worthy of deep friendship, I wouldn't have revealed it."

"Please keep this a secret. Otherwise, we, the human-faced snake clan, will never have peace in the future."

Sang Yuwan nodded seriously, and took Li Qing and Niu Xinjing to swear that they would never tell anyone.

After all, the magnetic orb of the human-faced snake clan can open the oasis in the secret realm of yellow sand. Once the news spreads, there is no guarantee that someone will not go there to kill the snake and steal the treasure.

The leader could sense their sincerity through his clear mind. After hesitating for a while, he reminded them: "After entering the oasis, remember not to destroy the vegetation inside."

"Especially Fellow Daoist Li, if you have some free time, you can plant some more wind-proof and sand-fixing spiritual plants near the oasis. Maybe you'll get some unexpected surprises."

Li Qing nodded thoughtfully, waved goodbye to the human-faced snake tribe, and walked towards the crack with his two companions.

There are no underground rivers running through the new cracks, and the air is very dry.

From time to time, bone-cutting divine winds blew from the desert through the cracks, forcing the three to be alert to deal with them.

When the wind was the strongest, the three of them could only crawl on the ground holding up their protective instruments. How could they still look like true Taoists?
After each of them had destroyed a bunch of magical weapons, and even damaged several spiritual weapons, the three of them finally walked out of the crack.

What came into view was a salt lake of several hundred acres. The lake reflected the azure sky, like a blue jade mirror, without a single ripple.

The bottom of the lake is covered with snow-white salt blocks. The thickest places are more than ten feet deep, and the shallowest places are one foot thick.

"These are..." Li Qing was shocked, "high-quality pure snow sand?"

He squatted down, dug a large lump of salt from the lake shore, and lit it with Nirvana.

The salt blocks melted like ice and snow, and a wisp of white smoke rose slowly and went straight into the sky.

A breath of peace of mind and concentration then dissipated in all directions.

Sang Yuwan and Niu Xinjing were equally surprised: "Such a large lake, if it were all mined, its value would be immeasurable."

Pure Snow Sand is a spiritual object derived from table salt nourished by spiritual energy. In layman's terms, it is spiritual salt.

In addition to being used in the spiritual kitchen, this item can also be used in various rituals and is a spiritual material for warding off evil spirits and exorcising demons. Because of its good quality and low price, it is especially favored by ordinary people.

——This is just referring to the pure snow sand of ordinary quality.

If the ones in the salt lake in front of us are of extremely high quality, some of the essence can even be ranked second grade.

This pure snow sand can be used to set up protective formations. If used in large quantities, it will have a significant effect in resisting the end of the world.

If Li Qing could find such a salt lake when the Qingxia Secret Realm was destroyed, and hire a highly skilled formation master, he might be able to extend the life of the Secret Realm for another one or two years.

Fortunately, none of the three of them would drain the pond to catch fish.

Although the pure snow sand in this salt lake is precious, they do not mine it in a destructive way and only take the higher quality part of it.

The words of the human-faced snake leader before they parted reminded them that here, they should respect nature and leave some hope, and perhaps they would have a better harvest.

At night, the three of them looked up at the sky. Although they could not see the moon, the secret realm was in sync with the outside world. After some calculations, they learned that the full moon night would be two days later.

The three of them took out the Yuan magnetic beads and refined them with their true essence.

Perhaps it was because the human-faced snake leader gave it to him voluntarily, the orb was refined very smoothly without any stagnation, and it soon reached the level of being able to be used as easily as one's own arm.

The Three Talents Formation, like the Two Principles and Four Symbols, the Five Elements and Seven Stars, and the Eight Trigrams and Nine Palaces, is the most commonly used and profound formation in the world of cultivation.

It's easy to get started, but difficult to master.

When the full moon night comes, the three of them will choose a direction, sacrifice the magnetic beads, and arrange them into the shape of three talents.

"Buzz buzz buzz..." The gem vibrated slightly, forming a mysterious inspiration in the center of the formation.

This inspiration was reflected in the center of the salt lake. The pure snow sand in the lake seemed to be ignited, and a tremendous force rose up.

Li Qing and the other two were stunned and were very glad that they did not carry out destructive mining of the salt blocks in the lake, otherwise such a big commotion would not have been caused.

"Every sip and every bite, is it predestined?" Sang Yuwan sighed, "I don't know if the fellow Daoists of the human-faced snake tribe know about this?"

The power rising from the salt lake vibrated in the sky of the secret realm, and soon, a scene that seemed real and illusory condensed, like a mirage.

Li Qing looked up and saw a large green jungle embedded in the vast desert, exuding endless vitality.

Desert oasis appears!
