Hunyuan Immortal Sect

Chapter 30 The Famous Hunyuan
Song Xian's heart skipped a beat. He had never expected that he and his companions would be sent to such a remote place. "So, wouldn't this mean that our clan's settlement is the westernmost outpost in the entire Qin State?"

"What did you think? Didn't I tell you? The Tianshan Mountains are the border between our two countries. Beyond that, you'll be on Muhe Grassland's territory." The man took a few spirit stones from him, feeling a little better. He jokingly said, "Your sect is now a veritable sentry post for our Qin State. If the Muhe Grassland breaks the treaty and attacks us one day, you'll be the first to bear the brunt."

Song Xian hurriedly asked, "Is it possible that Muhe Grassland will attack us?"

"Don't worry! They are currently preoccupied with their own affairs and are unlikely to launch a war anytime soon. Otherwise, they wouldn't have made concessions in order to sign a peace agreement."

"So what happened in the Muhe Grassland?"

"They're internally divided into four factions, and are now busy fighting among themselves! Even if they were to unite one day, their vitality would be severely weakened, and they would never launch an attack on us."

“Why are they splitting up?”

"I'm not sure either. It seems to be caused by the death of the old Khan of the Mukh Grassland."

"Excuse me, fellow Daoist, could you please tell us in detail about your sect and the other sects surrounding Bianxi City?"

The man said, "There's nothing much to say about our sect. We're close to the Mulan Grassland, which is home to many demonic beasts. Therefore, our sect stands out among many other sects thanks to our exceptional beast-taming skills."

"In this place, spirit beasts are more useful than spirit ships. Take the Canglan Bird we're riding. Although it's only a third-level spirit beast, it's better than a spirit ship for both transportation and cargo."

"Its flying speed is faster than a second-tier spirit ship, and its price is cheaper than a second-tier spirit ship. Moreover, it has good combat power."

"These are all produced by our sect. There is almost no force in the entire Xijiang County that does not buy our sect's spiritual beasts. Here, you can be without a spiritual ship, but you can't be without spiritual beasts."

"Our sect has all kinds of spirit beasts. Living spirit beasts can guard the house, fly, transport items, and even find people and treasures."

"Dead spirit beasts are also very useful. Every part of their body is an excellent material for refining magical instruments and even magic treasures. Their flesh and blood can be used to refine spiritual wine and spiritual food, their fur can be used to refine magical robes, and their demon cores are even more valuable."

"As for Bianxi City! The strongest force is undoubtedly Luoyun Sect. I don't need to say much about the others. You will naturally know in the future."

The two chatted as they walked along a road that was mostly Gobi Desert, but there were also many green areas with inhabitants.

The next day, while the Canglan bird was carrying everyone on its back, it suddenly let out several sharp and long cries.

The Beastmaster's expression changed slightly. He turned around and said, "Oh no! There's a storm. Be careful, hold on tight, and don't fall."

The weather was clear and cloudless at this time, and there was no sign of a storm. However, seeing how serious he was, everyone had to be careful and they all lay down and hugged the big bird tightly.

In less than a moment, the sky suddenly darkened, and dark clouds instantly covered the sky. Then a strong wind blew, blowing up dust all over the sky. In an instant, the whole world was a yellow color, even the sky hundreds of feet high was the same.

The howling of the wind became louder and louder, and the sound was shrill, as if ghosts and gods were howling.

Everyone lay on the big bird's back, hugging its body tightly, but under the influence of the huge wind, they inevitably fell to the ground.

"Why don't we stop for a while and wait until this gust of wind passes before setting off again!" Song Xian shouted loudly.

"No, there's desert down here, where can we hide from the wind? The storm has already started, it's too late to hide. Those of you who have defensive magic weapons or defensive talismans, please take them out and be sure to protect yourself from falling. If you are caught in the storm, you might die." The man's voice came with the whistling wind.

Song Xian immediately ordered everyone who had defensive magic weapons to take out, and he also took out a low-grade defensive magic weapon from behind, which was a red mahogany umbrella.

It was the magic weapon he had chosen for himself before, named Maple Forest Umbrella, which had ten layers of restrictions and was a top-notch magic weapon among the lower-grade ones.

After the spiritual power was poured in, the Maple Forest Umbrella's light increased greatly and condensed into a crimson shadow defense circle.

The others also took out their own defensive weapons.

Those who did not have defensive magic weapons all hid under the defensive magic weapons of others.

The storm intensified, and the sky and earth were filled with swirling sand and boulders. Everything was dark, and everyone's vision was obscured by the swirling yellow sand. "Look down," Jiang Zichen shouted from behind, his words revealing an unconcealable excitement.

Song Xian looked down and could vaguely see huge tornadoes raging and roaring below. The scene was very spectacular.

Everyone stood on the Canglan Bird. The defense of the magic weapon was enough to withstand the wind. The big bird shuttled through the storm as if it were walking on flat ground, and was not affected at all.

The storm lasted for half an hour before gradually subsiding. When the dark clouds dispersed, the sky became clear again. At this time, Song Xian had consumed nearly half of his spiritual power because he had to continuously input spiritual power to maintain the operation of the magic weapon. He only had fourteen points of spiritual power left.

If the storm lasted another hour, he might not be able to withstand it.

Having personally experienced this huge storm, Song Xian was still in shock and had a clearer and more concrete understanding of the harsh and extreme environment here.

The storm came suddenly without any warning. It was sunny just a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, such a huge storm arose.

You know, the Canglan bird was flying forward at high speed, but it had been flying for half an hour and had not yet flown out of the storm range. This shows how big the storm was.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, does this storm appear often?" Song Xian put away his magic weapon and asked.

The Beastmaster said, "This is the first time I've seen such a severe storm. When you get to Bianxia Town, ask the local mortals and you'll find out what's going on there."

"You don't need to worry too much about the storm. This area is hundreds of miles of uninhabited land, entirely covered by the Gobi Desert. That's why such a severe storm occurred. Your sect's location is surrounded by mountains and grasslands, so it won't be affected by such a severe storm."

"It's just that the weather conditions are a little bit harsh. You've come at the right time. April and May are the best times for the weather. It's neither too hot nor too cold, and the temperature difference between day and night is not big. April, May, September, and October are the most comfortable months of the year."

"Other times, such as June and July, are extremely hot, and November and December are extremely cold, with huge temperature differences."

.........

After the storm, the journey was uneventful. Canglan Bird finally carried everyone to their destination. Looking down from the sky, the whole mountain was surrounded by clouds. The peak looked very vast, and the top of the mountain was extremely flat, as if it had been cut flat by a sword, with a little temple building left on it.

Beyond the mountain, not far away, you can see a huge lake.

"There used to be a small group from the Muhe Grassland stationed here. After the two sides signed an agreement, all the forces from the Muhe Grassland withdrew from this place. You see, the buildings on the top of the mountain are still there. You can just move in and live there. It will save you the effort of construction." The disciple of the Beast Taming Sect touched the head of the Canglan Bird and pointed downwards. The big bird swooped down and landed on the flat area on the top of the mountain.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lin. We are extremely grateful. You have come all this way and must have worked hard. Please rest here for a day. It won't be too late to return tomorrow."

"Forget it! I don't want to stay here another night." The man pulled out a map from his storage bag. "I have no use for this thing, so I'll give it to you! This is the latest map of Bianxi City. It covers the entire city, including the newly incorporated Bianshang Town and Bianxia Town. It might be helpful to you."

Song Xian took the atlas and said, "Thank you for the gift, fellow Daoist."

"By the way, what name do you want for your sect? I'll have to report to you when I get back."

"Qingyun Sect."

"Isn't this the name of your original sect? I'm asking about the current sect name. You haven't decided on one yet!"

"Also called Qingyun Sect."

"No, you split from the original Qingyun Sect, not moved here as a whole. Since there is already a Qingyun Sect in Pingyuan County, you can no longer use this name. You must have a new name."

Several people looked at each other, none of them had expected this, and for a moment they couldn't think of what to name it.

Zhong Wenyuan frowned and thought, while Lin Zixiang remained silent.

Song Xian suddenly had an idea: "Hunyuan Sect, our newly established sect is called Hunyuan Sect."
