22: Wind Beast Scale Fragment! Go to the Market!

“Sir… what was that?”

All that was left on the Black Ridge City wall was desolation, deathly silence, and a complete loss of words.

They couldn't hear or see any Immortal Opportunity.

They only saw a natural disaster rolling in, only to turn away just as it was about to engulf them.

He waved his sleeve, taking away no clouds, but that single wave of his sleeve brought about utter desolation.

With the grand formation above his head flickering, Shen Li calmly said,

“An Immortal Master passed by.”

The crowd dared not speak, dared not look, and even less dared to exchange glances; they could only lower their heads.

It seemed that only by doing so could they show their respect for this ‘Immortal Master’.

Shen Li looked back at them, waved his hand, and said,

“Cheer up. The grand formation seems to have some issues. I will be heading to Crescent Lake Market in a few days!”

“Are there Yao Beasts causing trouble?”

Shen Li shook his head, his expression calm.

“With an Immortal Master passing through, what Yao Beast would dare to show its face and seek trouble?

Even a Dao Foundation Yao Beast would have to obediently hold its nose and stay still in its lair.”

“Wang Shan, come with me out of the city.”

Wang Shan nodded.

“Yes!”

On the way, Shen Li opened his Immortal Opportunity information.

“Currently, three li to the north, you can obtain a rare treasure: [Wind Spirit Beast Scale Armor] * 1 piece.”

The elements of the world are all based on the Five Elements, giving rise to myriad changes, and are also known as the Five Spirits.

And in places where a certain elemental Spiritual Qi is extremely dense, an extremely special creature will be born.

They are called Five Spirit Beasts.

Five Spirit Beasts do not refer to the Five Elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, but rather the evolving Spirit Beasts derived from the Five Elements, all of which can be called Five Spirit Beasts!

They cannot even be described as being treasures from head to toe; even their breath is valuable.

Even the Shen Family’s records on Five Spirit Beasts are scarce.

Because Five Spirit Beasts are simply too rare; the appearance of each one is destined to cause tremendous waves and bloodshed!

He didn't expect to encounter a Wind Spirit Beast, one of the legendary Five Spirit Beasts, in the Yellow Sand Plains in just a few short months.

An incredibly rare Wind Spirit Beast!

The inner cores of Five Spirit Beasts are all astonishingly valuable. Shen Li thought, this Immortal Master raising a Five Spirit Beast and letting the Wind Spirit Beast wreak havoc in the Yellow Sand Plains is probably because the wind element here is strong, which can aid and nourish the Wind Spirit Beast, allowing it to grow rapidly.

And then prompt that [Wind Spirit Orb] to fully form, right?

Speaking of the Wind Spirit Orb, Shen Li’s extremely resilient Heart-Nature couldn't help but become shallow and greedy.

What was that? That was the most precious heaven and earth treasure for forging the Dao Foundation.

It was a sixth-rank heaven and earth treasure!

As long as a Cultivator consumes this Wind Spirit Orb, their Physique can instantly transform into a top-tier wind-attribute Physique, allowing them to cultivate a thousand li a day, comparable to a Prodigy!

They can even awaken the innate Divine Ability born from this Wind Spirit Beast, making them unrivaled in the Dao Foundation Realm!

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it’s Heaven-Defying.

He wondered which family's child was so lucky? To have a Purple Mansion Great True Person personally tame a Wind Spirit Orb.

Comparing oneself to others truly makes one furious!

Others were consuming Wind Spirit Orbs tamed by a Great True Person, while he was overjoyed just picking up a fragmented scale armor left behind from a Wind Spirit Beast being tamed and whipped!

A blood-stained scale armor fell onto the dune.

The dunes on both sides arched, as if creatures were rapidly approaching.

Shen Li immediately put it into his Storage Pouch, and then had Wang Shan quickly take him away.

Not long after they had fled, two sand monsters appeared, both at the high Qi Refining Realm. They were constantly fighting due to the scent of blood.

All they wanted was the fresh blood left behind by the Wind Spirit Beast!

They fought relentlessly, and the dunes continuously collapsed, as if a mountain range had turned into a vast ocean and vanished before their eyes!

The landscape of the Yellow Sand Plains changed every day… it kept changing…

Shen Li witnessed all of this, which only strengthened his belief in cultivating the Dao!

He picked up scraps along the way back to Black Ridge City and found that because the commotion caused by the Immortal Master passing by was too great, many commoners' homes had lit up their lamps.

Some commoners even worriedly came out, looking left and right.

Then they mended their own houses.

According to the commoners, the first appearance of a Dragon Sand Vortex meant that this year was entering the ‘Tornado Period’.

In the next month, there would be at least three to four tornadoes.

If they were lucky, the tornado would change course, which would be better.

If they were unlucky, houses disappearing would be a minor matter; if a person was swept up in it, there would be no hope of survival.

However, the occurrence of Dragon Sand Vortexes here was already normal, so these commoners were already mentally prepared.

Seeing this, Shen Li didn't say much and returned to the City Lord's Mansion.

He paced in the hall, thinking.

Were the previous Dragon Sand Vortexes also due to this Immortal Master?

Perhaps this Immortal Master had started taming the Wind Spirit Beast a long time ago?

But this situation couldn't go on forever.

Shen Li quickly thought that the sea buckthorn fruit extracted from the Shen Family had the effect of wind prevention and sand fixation.

It wasn't like planting trees in a Gobi desert in his previous life, which could convert sand into barren soil.

In this world, the reason why sea buckthorn fruit could prevent wind and fix sand was because these Spirit Plants, when connected, could form a wood-attribute barrier, effectively resisting the erosion of wind and fire-attribute forces, achieving the goal of wind prevention and sand fixation.

It’s just that the quantity of sea buckthorn fruit was not much, and they were still growing in the spiritual fields, far from enough to solve the problem once and for all.

The best solution right now was to upgrade the sea buckthorn fruit to a ninth-rank heaven and earth treasure. Black Ridge City was surrounded by mountains on three sides; they only needed to plant the ninth-rank sea buckthorn fruit in front of the city gate to form a natural barrier.

Resisting the Dragon Sand Vortex and the aftermath of this Immortal Master taming the Wind Spirit Beast… should be enough?

And they could use this to build an outer city.

Anyway, they would have to expand outwards sooner or later!

When the Tornado Period arrived, many people would inevitably be affected.

Perhaps they could take advantage of this to make a fortune and attract some commoners here!

Thinking of this, Shen Li felt more and more that it made sense.

But soon, his eyes dimmed.

All he thought of were plans, because he was very short on Spirit Stones.

Unless he obtained a large amount of Spirit Stones… but he couldn’t possibly sell the spiritual fields or the Living Spring Water Vein, could he?

Wait.

Shen Li’s eyes lit up, and he then took out the Wind Spirit Beast's scale armor from his Storage Pouch.

He rubbed his hands.

According to the Shen Family's records, every Five Spirit Beast was a treasure trove.

Their blood could be used to refine Medicinal Pills, Talismans, and even outline array patterns.

Their tendons and bones could be used for Artifact Refining.

Their Divine Souls could be cultivated into spirits.

Their flesh was an extremely rare material for spiritual meals.

Their feces were important resources for Spirit Plants of the same attribute; there was simply no part that couldn't be used!

“The Wind Spirit Beast's scale armor can be used as a forging Material to create Magical Artifacts. The Magical Artifacts created from it can amplify wind-attribute spells, especially providing a significant boost to movement-type techniques.”

“It should fetch a good price!”

“So, the Opportunity lies within this!”

“Go to Crescent Lake Market?”

“Yes! I'll go as soon as possible!”
