Chapter 711: Hard Training in the Desert

The Ice Bear Totem finally agreed to go south, but he did not set off immediately. Instead, he waited until the messenger from the Mountain of Gods entered this continent before he set off.

After getting the answer, Zhao Xinghe took a look around the Ice Bear City, then got up and said goodbye and returned south.

This time, the Snow Wolf Chief was again in charge of sending Zhao Xinghe. When the Snow Wolf Chief asked Zhao Xinghe why he kept looking west, Zhao Xinghe said:

One of my brothers is crossing the desert over there, and I am a little worried.

The brother that Zhao Xinghe was worried about was Zhuo Bai, the mature boy who looked like a farmer.

At this time, Zhuo Bai was walking hard in the desert. His legs were like lead as he walked against the west wind.

His face was wrapped in a thin gauze, he had a big bag on his back, and he was holding a camel in his hand.

Behind this camel was a series of camels, all carrying supplies specially prepared for him.

This time on the journey to the west, the desert was a natural barrier.

If he could use his spiritual energy at will, this natural barrier would not be that difficult for Zhuo Bai.

But spiritual energy is limited. If it is wasted in the desert, when he reaches the Western Continent, he will find it difficult to move forward without the help of spiritual energy.

Therefore, Zhuo Bai had to gather his spiritual energy into his dantian. He could only use his body to resist the scorching sun and bitter cold.

Even until his body reached its limit, he would not release his spiritual energy to recover his tired body.

After marching in the desert for half a year, more than ten camels died of thirst. Only half of the originally huge camel herd remained.

There was still food and water, but there was no place to replenish them. Zhuo Bai could only choose to reduce the camels' food and water. It was better to starve them to death than to starve himself.

The desert in winter was not that hot, and the cold was easier for him to resist, but water resources were still scarce, which was the biggest problem he faced.

During the lonely and difficult journey, people became extremely lonely. Only this team of camels accompanied them, but Zhuo Bai did not dare to communicate with them too much.

The feelings were deep, and when he was hungry for them, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty, which was not good for him.

Therefore, he had almost no one to communicate with, and he marched forward in pain.

There was yellow sand all around. In this situation, the only way to judge the time was by season. He knew roughly that it was winter.

He couldn't tell whether it was early winter or late winter. There was no basis for him to judge.

Moving forward in loneliness made Zhuo Bai suffer in solitude, but it also allowed him to calm down and look into his inner world.

He, Zhao Xinghe and Hong Zhong were all born extraordinary. They had been paid attention to since childhood. Taichu helped them and Renzu was their teacher.

Although they were not spoiled to the point of having everything they wanted, or making them arrogant and conceited, they still hadn't found peace for more than 20 years.

The elders in the family visited them from time to time, and Renzu also had to understand their situation from time to time. Various experiences and polishing were indispensable.

I was afraid that they would be lonely, so I had to have some playmates to accompany them. However, they were rarely lonely to this extent.

The Fifth Xuan gave a plan for the cultivation of the three people, which was roughly divided into Qi Gathering, Foundation Building, Golden Elixir, Yuan Infant, Yuan Shen, Crossing the Tribulation, and Mahayana.

According to the Fifth Xuan, it is unknown whether it will succeed or not. This is just his idea. Which stage can be used and which stage cannot be used. Practice makes true knowledge.

The three of them have been able to gather Qi since they were young, and many of the tribesmen can also do it. As long as they can gather the spiritual energy into the body, they are considered to have entered the Qi Gathering stage.

But at the stage of foundation building, except for the three of them, no one else can do it.

The so-called foundation building is to absorb the spiritual energy into the Dantian Qi Sea and compress it into a ball. In this way, the spiritual energy can be collected and released.

And the development of the Dantian Qi Sea, the spiritual energy that can be absorbed is quite different from that of the Qi Gathering Stage.

Moreover, when the spiritual energy is concentrated to a certain degree, it can not only allow them to fly, but also enhance their physical strength.

Even more, if the spiritual energy is poured into the weapon, the power will be stronger.

But none of the three people could break through the golden elixir after building the foundation.

The main reason for the failure to break through is that the fifth Xuan did not give a specific method, but only said to gather the energy into liquid, and then turn it into elixir.

Such a simple statement, with only a general direction, the three people had no idea how to break through.

Over the years, they have thought about it a lot, but they have never found the right method.

But this lonely journey, especially the lonely walk in the desert for half a year, made Zhuo Bai gain something.

He did not dare to waste his energy during the journey. The spiritual energy had been in the dantian for half a year and had hardly moved a few times.

This made the spiritual energy become viscous, as if it had a tendency to liquefy.

He didn't understand the specific reasons for the changes. It might be because he hadn't used his spiritual energy for a long time, which caused such changes, or it might be caused by external influences.

Since entering the desert, he has been traveling day and night, and his body is often exhausted to the extreme. After a short rest to recover, he would travel again.

He could clearly feel that this kind of pressure on his body was a torture to his Dantian, but also a kind of growth.

One internal and one external, these should be the two reasons.

If he had to find a third reason, he thought it might be because of his willpower.

In the past, he relied on his thoughts, that is, willpower, to mobilize the spiritual energy to travel through his body.

So the spiritual energy is related to the mind. The hardship of the past six months made him feel that his mind has been greatly improved.

Or maybe it was the result of all three reasons, or maybe it was just one or two of them, but no matter which one it was, he had to persevere.

As the pioneers of the alliance who gained the ability to use aura, they were instilled with the idea of ​​blazing a trail for the tribesmen behind them since childhood.

Now that he had the opportunity to find out the situation, he would not back down.

This put him in a more painful situation, because he completely gave up the method of using aura to restore his body.

The desert was windy, the sand and dust were flying, hunger and thirst, cold and heat were always there, fatigue and loneliness were always there, the suffering was beyond Zhuo Bai's expectation.

Although he was determined, he had to fight against all this every day.

Time passed slowly, day by day, his skin became darker and rougher.

Sometimes, he would stop and do nothing but lie in a mountain cave to rest for a while.

Sometimes, he would choose not to eat or drink, and force himself to walk for three days without rest, until his body was too tired to rest.

In this way, he beat himself in the desert, beat his spirit, beat his flesh and blood, and beat his Dantian.

Finally, the weather gradually became hotter, and he knew that spring was coming, and then it slowly became cooler, and he knew that he was going to leave the desert.

He was about to leave the desert, but he was not happy in his heart, because the spiritual energy in his dantian, although becoming more viscous, still could not liquefy.

Finally one day, he saw a large oasis in the distance, and after hesitating for a while, he did not go in.

Abandoning the oasis, he moved horizontally, and after walking for a few days, he was sure that the land in front of him was not an oasis, but land.

If he walked through it, he could leave the desert, but looking at the only three camels left behind him, he gritted his teeth and walked into the yellow sand again.

He wanted to continue to hone himself until the spiritual energy was like liquid and turned into elixir.
