Wang Daoyuan paid the spirit stones and left Yuan Chen's shop. He kept the jade slip and beast skin in the space of the spirit pearl and handed it over to his clone.
In this Singing Sand Market, the most reliable inn and restaurant was the Clear River House.
The owner of the Clear River Tavern was a late-stage Zifu Realm cultivator. There were no rumors of him killing his customers.
Wang Daoyuan booked a room in the Clear River Tavern. No matter what, he had to have a place to cultivate.
In the space of the spirit pearl, Tu Youming had already finished processing the Blood Fire Hibiscus branch that Wang Daoyuan cut down. The essence was also used to nurture the Scarlet-Feathered Crow egg.
Lei Yan's method was indeed effective.
The situation of the Scarlet-Feathered Crow egg had indeed changed.
Its life force did not increase significantly, but it became more active.
Just like before when it was asleep. Although its life force was strong, it was like a pool of stagnant water.
Now that the stagnant water had ripples, the entire Scarlet-Feathered Crow egg seemed to have woken up.
If he could find more spiritual items that contained pure Yang energy, he should be able to hatch the Scarlet-Feathered Crow successfully.
Bai Sheng's clone was checking the information he got from Yuan Chen.
The cultivators in the market could be divided into three types: rogue cultivators who fled here, body refinement cultivators who came to train their bodies, and native cultivators.
At the edge of the Southern Wasteland, ordinary people were extremely rare.
South of the Treasured Cauldron Mountain, there were not many ordinary people.
Although ordinary people did not cultivate, the violent spiritual energy was still unbearable for them.
There were very few ordinary people whose parents were rogue cultivators who fled here. They could only live their entire lives in places protected by formations.
Most of the natives here were half-demons. Their bodies were stronger than humans, and they could barely adapt to the environment at the edge of the Southern Wasteland.
Ordinary people were extremely rare, and there were very few female rogue cultivators.
Most of the cultivators who could not stay in the north and fled to the Southern Wasteland, and took root here, could only marry half-demons.
Therefore, the natives here more or less had some demon bloodline.
Half-demons could only live in the border areas and could not go too deep into the Southern Wasteland.
They also had to face the threat of ferocious beasts, and there were not many of them.
Therefore, the native forces of the Singing Sand Plains were very weak and were far from being able to dominate the market.
In the Singing Sand Market, the wandering body refinement cultivators and the first generation of escapees had a higher status.
After hearing this news, Wang Daoyuan was slightly relieved.
At least in the Singing Sand Market, he didn't have to worry about offending a force that he couldn't afford to offend and being dealt with.
The only ones who posed a threat to him were the bandits in Songsha Plain.
When the cultivators in the Singing Sand Market went out to hunt or search for ores, they would always go out in groups.
For example, the cultivator surnamed Xiang that they had met before. If they had not encountered the Fierce Sand Wolves, the group of people would not have been injured, and the Flying Sand Bandits would not have attacked them.
After all, the Flying Sand Bandits were after wealth and did not like to risk their lives.
There was a Grade 4 Earth elemental energy vein in Mingsha Plain, and there was a possibility of nurturing the Earth Element Essence there.
Even if the chances were slim, Wang Daoyuan still wanted to give it a try.
Therefore, exploring Mingsha Plain was inevitable.
Although he preferred to explore alone, in order to avoid being surrounded by several groups of bandits, it was better to go out in a group.
The place where the cultivators gathered was the southernmost part of the Singing Sand Market.
Wang Daoyuan was not in a hurry to go out. Instead, he stayed in the Clear River Tavern for the time being to gather information about the bandits.
The information that Yuan Chen gave him could not be completely trusted. It was better to verify it here.
Half a month later, he left the Clear River Tavern and headed to the southernmost part of the Singing Sand Market to look for cultivators who could go out in groups.
The place where the groups were gathered was a large open space, and it was quite lively.
The groups that went deep into the Singing Sand Plain were usually Violet Palace Realm cultivators and Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.
After all, there were not many Violet Palace Realm cultivators, and it was difficult to find suitable ones.
Moreover, there were some simple tasks that did not require Violet Palace Realm cultivators to do, such as activating formations, scouting, and healing Violet Palace Realm cultivators.
Late or peak Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators might not necessarily be inferior to early Violet Palace Realm cultivators in these kinds of tasks.
When the spirit stones were divided, Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators needed much less.
Of course, these Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators also needed to have a skill that could play a role outside of battle.
In this open space, Violet Palace Realm cultivators sat in groups of three to five.
The Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators were yelling about the situation and goals of the groups, looking for suitable cultivators to form a group with.
When Wang Daoyuan arrived at the open space, over ten people came up to him to strike up a conversation.
He naturally wouldn't join the groups that had six or seven Violet Palace Realm cultivators and wanted to recruit one or two Violet Palace Realm cultivators.
It was very likely that such a group would kill the newcomers.
Even if that wasn't the case, it was very likely that they would use the newcomers as a shield when they encountered danger.
Wang Daoyuan took a fancy to a group of four Violet Palace Realm cultivators and six Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.
From the shouts of the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, he learned that their goal was to head to the Yellow Jagged Mountain to kill the mid-grade grade three demonic beast, the Yellow Jagged Python.
The Yellow Jagged Mountain was also on a grade four earth attribute spirit vein, so he could take a look at it.
This group only had four Violet Palace Realm cultivators, one mid-stage Violet Palace Realm cultivator, and three early-stage Violet Palace Realm cultivators.
With a group like this, even if they attacked him, he was confident that he would be able to escape unscathed.
Wang Daoyuan took the initiative to strike up a conversation. He clasped his hands towards the middle stage Violet Palace Realm cultivator and said, "I am Zhou Ming. I wish to join Daoyou's group. What do you think, Daoyou?"
The late stage Violet Palace Realm cultivator was dressed in a violet robe and had white hair and a beard. He inspected Wang Daoyuan's cultivation level and laughed, "I am Xue Ling. Greetings, Daoyou.
Given Daoyou's middle stage Violet Palace Realm cultivation, it wouldn't be hard for you to join a group of ten or so Violet Palace Realm cultivators. Why did you choose to join my small group? "
Wang Daoyuan laughed, "I've only just arrived here. If I were to join a group by myself, I'm afraid that they would eat me up until not even my bones would be left.
I want to go out and gain experience, not go out and throw my life away. It's better to find a group that doesn't have many Violet Palace Realm cultivators. "
Xue Ling nodded. "Daoyou's words are reasonable. Then I welcome Daoyou to join.
Dare I ask, what techniques does Daoyou have? We can have a rough understanding of them so that when hunting demonic beasts, we can take care of each other. "
Wang Daoyuan replied, "I am a dual attribute cultivator of metal and fire. My battle prowess is decent, and I am skilled in artifact forging and pill concocting. Both are at the low-grade of the third rank."
Hearing these words, Xue Ling's eyes lit up.
The reason they went to hunt Yellow Jagged Pythons was to trade for spirit stones.
The corpses of Yellow Jagged Pythons were to be used for pill concocting or artifact forging.
If he had someone in his group who was skilled in artifact forging and pill concocting, he would be able to deal with the Yellow Jagged Pythons himself and save himself from being exploited.
Xue Ling's face was filled with joy. He pointed at the three female cultivators amongst the early stage Violet Palace Realm cultivators and said, "Daoyou, you have great ability. Let me introduce you to Daoyou.
This is my daughter, Xue Chan. She is skilled in formations.
In the past, when we went out to hunt demonic beasts, we relied on her to preside over the formations. "
Wang Daoyuan greeted Xue Chan. Female cultivators were extremely rare amongst wandering cultivators, and those who had cultivated to the Violet Palace Realm were even rarer.
This Xue Chan's appearance was also not bad. Although she couldn't be considered a peerless beauty, she could still be considered to be above average.
Xue Ling then pointed at the other two early stage Violet Palace Realm cultivators and said, "These two Daoyou are Chu Cheng and Wu Xiao. They are both body refiners who have come here to temper themselves, and their battle prowess is extremely strong."
Wang Daoyuan greeted the two. These two were both tall and muscular, and their bodies were covered with knotted muscles. It was obvious at a glance that they weren't to be trifled with.
Xue Ling smiled and said, "With Daoyou joining us, two mid stage Violet Palace Realm cultivators and one early stage Violet Palace Realm cultivator will be able to kill Yellow Jagged Pythons as easily as lifting a finger.
There is no need to continue recruiting others. Everyone, make your preparations. We will set out as soon as possible. "
Xue Chan and the other Foundation Establishment cultivators entered the market to purchase.
A quarter of an hour later, they were back.
After everyone had arrived, Xue Ling took out a high grade second grade flying boat that was only three meters long. Everyone boarded the flying boat and headed towards the southeast.
This flying boat's speed wasn't slow. It could travel over three thousand kilometers in two hours.
After four hours, the Yellow Jagged Mountain appeared in front of them.
This Yellow Jagged Mountain wasn't very tall. The highest peak wasn't even three thousand meters tall, and the mountain range stretched for over a hundred kilometers.
As far as the eye could see, the entire mountain was covered in an earthy yellow color. There were jagged rocks of grotesque shapes, and not a single blade of grass grew.
