Two days later, at the border between the Xilin Region and the Western Wastelands Region.
Looking down from high up in the sky, yellow sand was densely packed. Sand and dust flew in the air under the desolate wind, causing sand and rocks to fly, causing one's breathing to become sluggish.
Looking towards the west, one could only see an endless desolate desert. This stretch of yellow sand did not have any signs of life.
Looking back, one could only see a stretch of verdant green at the end of one's line of sight, separating the yellow sand from the world there. Looking directly below, one could see a dilapidated ancient city sitting in the middle of the yellow sand. In this vast desert, the appearance of this ancient city was extremely conspicuous. Even though this city was also yellow, at least the human flow within it could always bring a glimmer of hope to those who were lost in the desert.
Even though this city was located in the middle of the desert, the degree of prosperity within it was not inferior to some of the large cities in the Xilin Region. At the very least, just from the human flow, the degree of prosperity of this city was likely something that even Xuan City could not compare with.
The city walls were dilapidated, and the wind and sand rushed into the city from the outside like a group of bandits, wildly wreaking havoc in the city. Unfortunately, the people in the city turned a blind eye to this as they continued to walk on their own.
The clothes of the people in the city appeared to be rather valiant. The men were basically bare-chested, and all of them had bronze skin. Their bodies were well-built, and when the wind and sand blew over, it could even emit extremely soft collision sounds when it hit their bodies. It was as if they had collided with a rock, and were forcefully repelled away.
Even the women in the city were bold and unrestrained. Their characters were especially boorish, and they only wore short clothes that covered the important parts of their bodies, making them look extremely eye-catching.
However, since they were able to walk in this place, these women were naturally not flower vases. Anyone who saw them would be somewhat fearful. Hence, although there were quite a number of experts in this city, and the number of domineering people who were usually uncountable, the order in this place was much better than what most people imagined in their hearts.
The human flow in the city was not considered crowded, and it was even extremely loose. The reason why it was said to be bustling was because of the flow of people here. Every time someone entered the city, there would be someone leaving at the same time. Often, this cycle would repeat, causing the entire city to always be in a relatively balanced state. This was something that other cities could not compare to, and it was also this point that made this city bustling.
"Is this Sand River Shop?"
Xiao Yan's gaze descended from high up in the sky. It slowly swept over the noisy city below. His eyes, which had already turned dark black, involuntarily revealed a surprised expression.
Within this short period of time, under the probing of Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength, there were actually no less than ten elite Dou Di presences within this Sand River Shop. The strongest among them had actually reached the strength of a seven star Dou Di. When Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength probed, the latter seemed to have discovered his existence.
"It is indeed worthy of being an important passageway that connects the Xilin Region and the Western Wasteland Region. There are really quite a number of strong people here!"
Xiao Yan involuntarily smacked his lips. His heart also involuntarily sighed. Just these ten elite Dou Di alone would be able to form a powerful faction within the Xilin Region. The Western Region was really filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers!
Xiao Yan's body moved. He ceased hesitating. Since he had already come, he naturally wanted to experience the bustling Sand River Shop.
At the same time, at a certain spot in the city below, a black-robed old man with an amiable face could not help but frown slightly. A surprise involuntarily flashed across his turbid old eyes.
"Who is this little fellow? He has actually already become a rank three alchemist at such a young age. Even his cultivation has advanced at the same time, reaching the five star Dou Di level. Hiss, why have I never heard of such a person in the Western Region?"
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yan's body had already landed in the Sand River Shop below.
Standing in the middle of the street, Xiao Yan, who was wearing a long black robe, immediately attracted the somewhat strange gazes of the passersby on the street.
The weather in this area had already become extremely dry and hot. The high temperature in the air was not something that an ordinary person could easily endure. Even these passersby who were hurrying along were constantly exhausting the Dou Qi in their bodies to resist the high temperature of the world despite their appearances not changing. Even some of the fire affinity practitioners were similarly frowning slightly as perspiration surfaced on their foreheads.
However, looking at Xiao Yan's current state, not only was he wearing a black robe that covered his entire body under the black robe, but there was also such a high temperature above his head, not even a trace of perspiration could be seen on his face. This was really difficult to imagine. Just how did he do it?
Xiao Yan could only quietly laugh in his heart at this. He could not possibly tell them that he possessed a divine object like the 'Heavenly Flame'.
The 'Heavenly Flame' was the hottest flame in this world. With it around, this little bit of temperature had long been ignored by Xiao Yan. How could it affect him?
Xiao Yan gently shrugged his shoulders. His feet moved as he walked along the street in front of him. He aimlessly walked forward. His gaze swept over the shops on both sides. Xiao Yan appeared to be deep in thought.
After hurrying for a few days, Xiao Yan planned to rest here for a night and purchase a map of the Western Wastelands. After all, the Western Wastelands was a vast desert. Without the guidance of a map, Xiao Yan did not think that he would be able to easily enter and exit it.
When he thought of the map, Xiao Yan's mind involuntarily recalled the scene back then in the Tager Desert. Back then, Xiao Yan had met Hai Bodong for the first time in that place. At the same time, it was also because he had purchased the map that Xiao Yan had found one of the map fragments left behind by the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint. However, he did not know if he would be as lucky as he was back then this time around.
Some anticipation involuntarily surged in Xiao Yan's heart when he thought of this. It seemed that there was a fortuitous encounter waiting for him in an inconspicuous small dilapidated house in front of him.
Of course, there were very few coincidental fortuitous encounters in this world. Take Xiao Yan for example. After swiftly passing through a couple of streets with excitement in his heart, he ultimately did not find any fortuitous encounter. This kind of result caused Xiao Yan to mock himself. It was because he was too obsessed with the so-called fortuitous encounter that things would go in the opposite direction when they reached an extreme. The greater his expectations, the greater his disappointment would be.
Fortunately, Xiao Yan clearly understood this logic in his heart. He mocked himself and shook his head. Xiao Yan faced the sky and let out a long sigh. He involuntarily laughed bitterly in his heart. It was at this moment that Xiao Yan suddenly saw four blurry black figures swiftly flying over from the eastern sky.
Xiao Yan's heart suddenly trembled when he saw these four black figures. In an instant, an extremely great pressure surged into Xiao Yan's heart. The Dou Qi within the vortex within his body also quietly surged at this moment. It swiftly flowed into the Qi Paths within his body. After circulating a couple of times, it agglomerated in Xiao Yan's palm.
A dense-white flame fiercely rose deep within his eyes. The expression on Xiao Yan's face also became solemn because of this.
From the looks of it, the matter today would not only not bring him any surprise, but would instead bring him endless shock.
At the same time, the black-robed old man at a certain spot in the city also raised his eyebrows in surprise. His turbid eyes instantly looked towards the location of the four people in the east.
"Why have they come here?"
