837: C837 Sha County

C837 Sha County

Yang Junshan didn't know that West Mountain Village had once had a Mortal Realm cultivator secretly infiltrating, and he didn't know that there had once been an expert secretly plotting against the Yang Family. When Old Li was called over to the Yang Family's law office for questioning, he had already left the Yang Family.

Compared to other large prefectures and counties, the names of the seven counties of Xi Prefecture were extremely chaotic. The names of these seven counties were Shazhou, Gou Prefecture, Chen Prefecture, Liu Prefecture, Lan Prefecture, Floating County, and Sang Prefecture respectively. Moreover, from the surface, Xi Prefecture should be the poorest and most barren region in this world.

Perhaps it couldn't be compared to the Yan Province or the Thunder Province, but it was superior by a level when compared to the other large prefectures. Among them, the Purple Wind Sect was also the top power in the cultivation world, and in the entire cultivation world, only the Spirit Apostles, the Flowing Wind Sword Sect, and the Purple Clouds Pavilion could be compared to it.

Although the natural environment of Xi Prefecture seemed terrible, there were always oases in the most desolate area. Moreover, perhaps because most of the regions of Xi Prefecture were too barren, the essence of heaven and earth in the whole of Xi Prefecture was concentrated in these oases. As a result, the existence of an oasis often contained abundant cultivation resources, which could support a large or small settlement of cultivators.

Thus, such a phenomenon appeared. When the cultivators of the other regions searched for cultivation resources in remote corners or buried deep underground, as long as they found an oasis in the desert, they would be able to solve their problem.

This caused the cultivators of Xi Prefecture to spend most of the time running around without having to gather any kind of cultivation resources. On the other hand, the size of the various forces of Xi Prefecture, other than depending on the number of high-level cultivators they had, was a more direct criterion: to see how many oases they controlled, as well as the size of these oases.

As the number one sect in the State of Xi, the area occupied by the Purple Wind Sect may not be considered to be that big. However, the majority of the territories in the State of Wu and the State of Ge and the State of Wu in the State of Wu were only two and a half counties. However, the number and area of the oasis in each of the three counties were respectively ranked third, second and first.

Amongst the seven counties of the Xi Prefecture, the most bountiful county was the most desolate, which sounded absurd, but in the ears of cultivators, it was true. This was a vast and boundless desert, and the chance to see vegetation was much less than the chance to see unburied bones of the dead.

The most important thing was that the prefecture was the only entrance to the Ancient Desolation Jedi. Every time the Ancient Desolation Jedi opened, a large area of mirages would descend upon them. Any cultivator in the Awakened Realm who controlled the light would have a chance to enter the Ancient Desolation Jedi through the Mirage.

Therefore, whenever the date for the opening of the Ancient Desolation Jedi approached, the frequency of high-grade cultivators entering and exiting the various oases in the Shazhou region would increase. They only had to wait for the mirage to descend, and did not have to be as cautious of each other as they were when the other forbidden lands opened.

The foundation of this oasis was built around a small lake in the middle of the oasis called the Emerald Lake. This small lake, which had an area of less than seven to eight miles, was supported by a large waterway, and just this point made Yang Junshan speechless, not to mention the various resources that had gathered outside this large waterway.

One must know that a large waterway was enough to support a lake with a circumference of hundreds of miles. After the large waterway of the Yang family was formed, it could not withstand the flowing water of an ordinary river at all. For a long time, even Yang Junshan and the Three Elements Spirit Treasure Formation could not solve the problem of the dissipation of the spiritual energy along the lake, which attracted a lot of cultivators to come and settle down.

However, there was only a small lake with a radius of less than five kilometers, and the large watery aura below didn't leak out at all. In other words, the essence of the water was completely contained in the Emerald Lake, Yang Junshan didn't need to think to know that this lake was filled with precious treasures because of the water veins.

The shell was emerald in color, and it suddenly looked like a perfect piece of emerald jade. And among these emerald clams, there was a spirit material known as the Jade Bead, which was of high quality and had a wide range of uses, and could be used to refine magical equipment, and after grinding it could also be used to refine medicinal pills and make talismans, and it was even used as a high-quality spirit material to lay down arrays, especially for illusory and maze arrays, which had an even better effect.

In order to protect this oasis, the Guan Lan Sect had sent at least three cultivators, including a Heavenly Dipper Sovereign.

This time, the reason why Yang Junshan chose to stay at the Oasis of the Emerald Lake was to avoid the control of the Purple Wind Sect. The most important reason was because of the reputation of the Emerald Bead. As an array master, he naturally knew about the Ten Arrays Nine Illusions, and thus, the attraction of the Emerald Bead to him could be easily imagined.

Of course, the so-called "Ten Array Nine Illusions" didn't mean that nine of the ten array formations were essentially illusory arrays, but rather that most array formations would use techniques related to illusory arrays. Even so, the Jade Bead was still a dream treasure for array masters.

In the past few days, Yang Junshan had spent a lot of effort and had spent quite a bit of money, but had only managed to acquire a dozen low-grade and five medium-grade jade beads.

The Jadeite Pearls produced by the Jadeite Lake were divided into four grades of good quality. The medium and inferior quality Jadeite Pearls could be found in the oasis, and not a single one above the good quality Jadeite Pearls could be found. It was said that all of them were taken by the Guan Lan Sect.

After knocking against a wall several times, the unwilling Yang Junshan naturally had his mind set on the jade clam in the Emerald Lake. However, after careful inspection, his heart turned cold, the entire Emerald Lake along with the large water veins below were surrounded by a formation array.

It wasn't that Yang Junshan's array stealing technique couldn't do anything to this grandmaster level array, but it was extremely difficult to sneak into the Emerald Lake without disturbing Guan Lan Sect, not to mention that this was an extremely long process. The Ancient Desolation was just around the corner, and Yang Junshan obviously didn't have time to take the risk.

Unfortunately, Yang Junshan couldn't help but wonder what kind of rare treasure the Yang Family's two large earth veins would extend to in the future. Although this would be a very long process, the Yang Family's large water vein would also have a surplus of water, so it wouldn't be too far off even if they didn't need the Jade Beads.

On the other hand, the Yang Family's Earth Vein could possibly give birth to a natural treasure, which was a genuine jade coin that could be used to nurture spirit veins.

The reason was because of the small spirit pith vein. According to the calculation of Yang Junxin's spiritual inheritance that she had collected over the years, with the support of the large earth vein, the spirit pith vein had a certain probability of producing a natural true jade pith coin. Although the probability of this happening was also pitifully low, as long as there was such a small possibility, it was enough to excite the Yang family.

Although the process of collecting the Jade Beads was not smooth, Yang Junshan had gained a lot from trading with other special resources of the Emerald Lake. Yang Junshan had brought a lot of special resources of the Jade State, and these treasures were also hard to come by for the cultivators of the Suzhou region.

In fact, the moment the news of the Desolate Ancient Desolation's arrival had attracted quite a few cultivators from the cultivation world to Shazhou, the oasis under the control of various powers had started to intentionally guide the trade with the cultivators from the outside world. After all, in a situation where the foreign forces were wreaking havoc, the originally inaccessible regions had become even more isolated.

In the seven days after Yang Junshan arrived, he had attended three trade fairs, one of which was hosted by the Guan Lan Sect, and the other two were private fairs. Furthermore, through these three trade fairs, Yang Junshan had befriended a few high level cultivators in Xi Prefecture and other places.

On this day, after Yang Junshan had sealed his room in the inn, he was in the middle of deducing the array formation, but his spiritual sense suddenly sensed that the cultivators inside the oasis had started to stir up. Yang Junshan's spirit suddenly shook, and could not wait to deduce the key point on the oasis, so he quickly put away the array formation, and shattered the seal in his room and left the inn. However, he suddenly saw winds and clouds surging outside the oasis, the sky darkened, and huge tornadoes connected to the heaven and earth from different directions.

"The mirage is about to descend!"

Someone shouted out. When Yang Junshan looked over, the whole world seemed to be coming to an end, as it was being swallowed by shadows. The ancient, desolate, lonely, boundless and deathly aura started to grow in everyone's hearts.

Yang Junshan's heart skipped a beat as his eyes turned cold. He found out that the world outside the oasis was coming to an end. It was just like a mirage in an illusion!2
