Gu Qing Shan stood still and stayed silent for a bit.
He formed a hand seal and gathered the yellow sand around him, covering the Divine Frost Crystals again.
Then he tapped his Inventory Bag and took out a formation plate.
Gu Qing Shan quickly tapped the formation plate with both hands.
Very quickly, a few rays of light came out from the formation plate.
With the Divine Frost Crystal as the center, various large-scale concealment formations were activated.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit and arranged another small-scale warp formation — — this way, he would be able to return to this place from another place in this world.
After that, he put the formation plate away.
Alright, although these formations aren't very useful, there are at least 17 different concealment formations that can hide the Divine Crystal for a bit.
Now, I need to think of a way to cure Yun Ji.
— — according to Wang Cheng's memories, this place was Greyhan world, the 11th largest black market in the Strife Zones.
Although Wang Cheng spent half of his life on a ship, so he didn't know much and didn't want to spend any money, he at least knew how prosperous the black market was, as well as the various strange and wondrous things that could be found there.
The 200 million World Layers of the Strife Zones had given birth to countless civilizations, countless Combatants, as well as abundant resources and treasures.
And a place like the black market didn't accept taxes from any country or civilization, all transactions here were protected by the black market's owner.
Usually, the black market's owners were very smart, so they only took a small fee for their services.
That's why visitors from different worlds who were tempted by the profits would naturally come here.
There might even be some information and knowledge in the black market that could help Gu Qing Shan understand how to cure a Lord-class Combatant.
So the best choice right now was to take a look at the black market.
Since Gu Qing Shan had made up his mind, he didn't hesitate anymore.
He took out a pill and put it in his mouth — —
This world was so vast that even with his Tribulation middle stage cultivation, he would need to travel a long distance to reach the black market.
Everything was ready.
Gu Qing Shan leapt into the sky, turned into a streak of light, and flew away.
…
Greyhan world.
In the sky.
A sandstorm was blowing everywhere.
The entire world seemed to be stuck in the quicksand.
Occasionally, there would be some extremely rare areas, but due to the existence of certain mysterious forces, the sandstorms would be able to bypass them.
After flying for a day and a night, Gu Qing Shan finally felt a little tired.
At this time, the sun was shining brightly. The hottest time of the day had arrived.
It was already noon.
Above the boundless sandstorm, seven suns lined up in a row, emitting intense heat.
All things were scorched.
If she didn't use her spiritual power to protect herself, Gu Qing Shan felt that she would have been roasted long ago.
— — as far as Wang Cheng knew, this was a world that had almost been destroyed.
Unfortunately, Wang Cheng's strength was low, and his status was low. He did not know the ins and outs of the entire matter.
Gu Qing Shan felt slightly regretful.
There was too little information, and it was not conducive to the subsequent strategic arrangements.
He sensed the rate at which his spirit energy was being consumed, then looked down at the ground.
The surging sea of sand covered the sky, blocking one's line of sight. Nothing could be seen clearly.
As a last resort, he released his Divine Telekinesis to carefully observe the world beneath the sandstorm.
Underneath the sandstorm, there was still sandstorm.
After a while, Gu Qing Shan finally found a place where he could temporarily rest.
Underneath the endless sandstorm, in the middle of the vast desert, there was a small place full of life.
It was a large, lush tree.
This tree peeked out from behind the sand dune, giving off a faint green light that dispersed the sandstorm around it.
Because of the faint green light, the area around the tree had become a quiet and small world full of life.
Without hesitation, Gu Qing Shan flew down.
After flying through the sandstorm for so long, his stamina was a bit worn out, so he needed to rest and eat something.
Landing in front of the tree, he released his Divine Telekinesis to carefully observe his surroundings.
There was nothing around.
Gu Qing Shan walked up to the tree, solemnly bowed, and said: "I mean no harm, I'm just tired from flying, so I came here to rest for a bit"
He tapped his Inventory Bag, took out a gourd of spirit spring water, and poured it on the tree's branch.
— — -this was something that Gu Qing Shan came up with himself.
In the middle of the desert, this kind of spring water that contained spirit energy should be very rare.
If this tree had life and intelligence, this kind of spring water should be enough to satisfy it.
Gu Qing Shan received Wang Cheng's memories.
Although Wang Cheng was only a low-level trash collector, he understood very well that there were too many unimaginable and unimaginable life forms in the Strife Zones.
Gu Qing Shan tried to follow this train of thought.
From now on, I still have a long journey in the Strife Zones.
If I end up in an unfamiliar place, I'll definitely draw the attention of the local species.
In such a situation, the best way to deal with it is to express my will and attitude in advance.
— — even in the most desolate of environments, kindness and avoidance have always been one of the most basic rules of survival.
The other, more intense way to survive would naturally be to fight.
But after going through what happened with the figure of light, Gu Qing Shan felt that she definitely shouldn't underestimate the intelligence of any living being.
Because the figure of light appeared among the billions of living beings, even the void monsters were notified by the figure of light.
This proved a certain thing.
The seven Gods believed that all living beings in the Strife Zones had intelligence and could walk on the path of Godhood.
This seemed to imply that all living beings were equal.
Because of that, if all living beings were treated as equal intelligent beings, then they would naturally express their attitude when entering someone else's territory.
No one would welcome a stranger of unknown origin into their home.
But if the stranger expressed his goodwill, then that would be a completely different matter.
Under such circumstances, as long as the other party wasn't too cruel, they wouldn't directly kill anyone.
This was the first opinion that Gu Qing Shan had about the Strife Zones.
Because of that, Gu Qing Shan immediately expressed her attitude as soon as she arrived and even gave the tree a drop of spirit spring water.
The spirit spring water was poured onto the tree and was quickly absorbed by it.
All of a sudden, a buzzing voice came from inside the tree.
"It's been a long time since I've had such a sweet and refreshing spring water, if possible, please give me a bit more, thank you"
Gu Qing Shan looked at the tree in surprise.
He then took out another gourd of spirit spring water and poured it on the tree.
All of the spring water was immediately absorbed cleanly.
「 Hm … 」
The tree sighed in satisfaction.
It continued: 「 Traveler from a long journey, your spring water has made me happy, you may rest here 」
— — the meaning was clear, you are not allowed to rest here before this.
Gu Qing Shan immediately understood.
Seems like I didn't do anything wrong.
He clasped his fist and said: "Thank you"
"You're welcome. If it's possible, please give me another gourd," the tree said. It seemed a little embarrassed by its request. "My child is coming back soon, and I forgot to leave some for him. He might like this spring water."
Gu Qing Shan smiled.
This is a world of drifting sand, I haven't seen any water sources even after flying for so long.
I heard that this world almost got destroyed.
No wonder spring water is so popular.
— — -it's just spring water, I have plenty of it.
Gu Qing Shan took out another gourd of spring water and put it next to the tree.
"For you" he said.
The sand and stones on the ground opened up a hole that swallowed the gourd.
「 Ah, thank you very much 」 the tree happily said.
"No need to be so polite, since I wanted to borrow your precious place to rest, I naturally brought a small gift for you" Gu Qing Shan waved his hand dismissively.
The tree continued: 「 I'm not one of those ill-mannered bandits in human form, so I have a small gift for you as well — — - it's nothing good, I hope you won't mind 」
A jet-black branch on the tree snapped off and fell next to Gu Qing Shan.
「 Please take it, it's a small token of my appreciation 」 the tree said.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the branch.
What use would something like that … be?
But he couldn't refuse either, otherwise wouldn't he be making things difficult for the other party?
"Thank you, your excellency" he thanked it.
「 Hm 」 the tree replied.
There was no need to say anything else after that.
Gu Qing Shan casually formed a hand seal to take the branch from afar and put it into his Inventory Bag.
He then took out a cushion, sat on it, drank some food, and began to rest.
Time quickly passed.
Two hours later.
When Gu Qing Shan opened his eyes, he was in high spirits.
He suddenly noticed a palm-sized black scorpion on the sand in front of him.
The scorpion seemed to be curiously observing him.
When Gu Qing Shan opened his eyes, the scorpion was startled.
The scorpion quickly hid under the sand, disappearing without a trace.
Gu Qing Shan didn't mind, smiled, and was about to leave.
"Farewell, your excellency" he said to the tree.
「 Where are you going? 」 the tree curiously asked.
「 I'm going to the black market, I've never been there before, so I'm going to take a look 」 Gu Qing Shan answered.
「 Ah — — why are you going there? 」 the tree continued to ask.
「 I want to learn a bit of healing knowledge and skills, because my friend is very heavily wounded and I don't know what to do about it 」 Gu Qing Shan casually answered.
「 Healing, of course 」 the tree sighed, 「 I don't know what to do about healing either, you're a good little one, go now 」
「 Hm, farewell 」 Gu Qing Shan clasped his fist.
「 See you 」 the tree said.
Gu Qing Shan leapt to the sky and flew away.
He left the windless sandstorm that the tree was in.
Immediately, an endless sandstorm came towards him.
In a split second, he noticed that over a dozen people had appeared next to him.
As soon as Gu Qing Shan saw them, they also saw him.
Coincidentally, both of them were heading in the same direction.
— — -seems like they're both heading to the black market.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then silently stepped aside so that they could get there first.
Firstly, there were too many of them, secondly, he didn't want to run into them and cause trouble, thirdly, Yun Ji was still heavily wounded, so he needed to focus on his own matters and think of a way to save her.
Seeing him do that, the group of people appeared pleased.
They exchanged glances.
One of them raised his hand and pointed it at Gu Qing Shan.
He was wearing something that looked like a watch-like device.
Looking at the 'watch', he reported a number to his companions.
As soon as they heard that number, they all calmed down.
The leader thought for a bit, then gestured to the group.
— — -at the same time, a sense of danger appeared in Gu Qing Shan's mind.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly understood.
A karmic adversity!
Damn it, the second karmic adversity had already arrived!
It had been hiding until now, when it was about to disperse, it suddenly attacked!
Without any warning — — -
Boom!
Gu Qing Shan managed to dodge 7-8 attacks, but was struck by the last attack and was sent flying backwards.
Like a parabola, Gu Qing Shan flew straight back to the tree.
Bam!
As he crashed into the ground, the impact kicked up a huge wave of sand, even the black soil that was hidden under the sea of sand could be vaguely seen in front of him.
Gu Qing Shan shook his head and flew up.
This was an unplanned coincidental encounter, as well as a last-minute killing intent.
Fortunately, with the Shen Wei armor, he wasn't hurt at all.
But there was a small crack on the armor.
Gu Qing Shan jumped up high and drew the Night Rain.
The group of people had already arrived.
They stopped in mid-air, laughing as they looked at Gu Qing Shan.
"Brother Zhi, this person is an archer, his battle value is too low, there's probably nothing to be gained" one of them smiled and said.
"No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat, since we've met, let's just kill him"
The man called brother Zhi didn't mind at all.
A burly man said, "He's an archer. I can easily kill a bunch of weaklings like him."
Gu Qing Shan understood what they meant.
He didn't care about anything else.
Killing people — — -
At this point, another short man drew his dagger and said: "Whoever killed him will be the first to loot — — -"
Bam!
Before he could finish, Gu Qing Shan shot him in the head with an arrow.
Blood splattered all over the place.
Everyone's expression changed.
"Bastard, seems like he really does know a thing or two about archery, let's go!" brother Zhi shouted.
The men all took out their weapons and charged at Gu Qing Shan.
While retreating, Gu Qing Shan drew another arrow.
Sha!
Shifting Flurry, activate!
Five arrows turned into blurred images as they shot into the crowd, killing two more people in an instant!
Brother Zhi was extremely annoyed.
This time, it was because he trusted the machine too much that he counterattacked.
"Damn it! His archery skills are even better than the machine's calculations, we need to get close now! "
Unfortunately — — -
Everyone understood that, but Gu Qing Shan's [Ground Shrink] was too fast, these people couldn't catch up at all.
One breath's worth of time.
Another person was shot in the arm by Gu Qing Shan.
This person was the burly man from before.
He angrily drew the arrow in his arm and shouted to the people around him: "All of you come here!"
When the people heard his roar, they immediately moved closer to him.
The burly man gritted his teeth, glared at Gu Qing Shan, then told everyone: "This person's life and belongings are mine"
"Got it!" everyone nodded.
The burly man rubbed the ring on his finger and activated the technique on it: "[Chaotic Shift]!"
[Chaotic Shift], a spatial technique, a Divine Skill. He immediately led his companions within a 10-meter radius around him through the barrier of space, appearing directly around the enemy within a kilometer radius, then forming an encirclement.
Instantly, the ring gave off a blinding white light.
Everyone disappeared.
They reappeared around Gu Qing Shan, completely surrounding Gu Qing Shan.
For an archer, their encirclement was perfect.
A ranged Profession wouldn't be able to escape from such an encirclement.
"Brat" the burly man smirked, "archery is a sissy's game, you won't be able to escape now"
Gu Qing Shan had a strange expression on his face.
He also didn't say anything.
Both the bow and the arrows suddenly disappeared.
A cold gleam sliced through the sky, manifesting a blinding crescent sword dance.
Secret Art, [Life Seeker]!
Thaumaturgy, [Severance]!
Secret Art, [Crescent Slash] — — [Full Crescent Slash]!
Everyone froze in place, allowing the sword phantoms to slice them into pieces, their corpses were blown away by the intense wind.
Gu Qing Shan slowly put his sword away.
Looking at the blood on the sand, he shook his head and sighed.
