After transmigrating, I cultivated immortality by smelling the scent.

Chapter 198 Heading to the Desert

The materials for refining Xuan Yuan Dan are extremely rare.

Ye Xiaobai decided to go to the Alchemist Alliance to ask first.

After spending more than a year together, Tuntian and Ye Xiaobai became even more familiar with each other.

Normally, whenever Ye Xiaobai has any questions about cultivation, Tuntian is always very helpful in answering them.

Moreover, under the guidance of Devouring Heaven, the Purple Flame Thunder Leopard's cultivation level has advanced further, reaching almost the seventh rank, making it even stronger than a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator.

This put a lot of pressure on Ye Xiaobai, as his spirit beast was always stronger than him.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Xiaobai arrived at Miaodanfang in Sanjiang City, the closest market to the White Tiger Sect.

The owner of Miaodanfang here, Qian Rongsheng, was the one who recommended Ye Xiaobai to participate in the Alchemy Conference of the Alchemist Alliance.

Later, Ye Xiaobai achieved a top-three ranking.

The Alchemist Alliance also gave Qian Rongsheng a generous reward and improved his treatment.

Therefore, Qian Rongsheng was also very grateful to Ye Xiaobai.

"Manager Qian, long time no see! How's business lately?" Ye Xiaobai greeted Qian Rongsheng with a smile as soon as he saw him.

"Wow, isn't this Elder Ye? It's been a long time! What a rare guest!" Qian Rongsheng was very excited to see that the person who came was Ye Xiaobai and stood up to greet him.

"Manager Qian, you're being too polite. It was thanks to your recommendation that I was able to participate in the Alchemy Conference, which is why I only managed to get the honorary title of Elder!"

"What honorary title? Elder Ye earned it through his own abilities!" Qian Rongsheng praised, then asked, "Elder Ye, do you need any spiritual herbs for this?"

"That's right. I'm currently researching a new elixir and need a batch of rare spiritual herbs, so I've come to ask Manager Qian for help!"

"Elder Ye, don't be so polite. Just tell me what spiritual herbs you need. Miao Dan Fang will definitely give priority to meeting Elder Ye's needs!"

Afterwards, Ye Xiaobai bought some materials for refining Xuan Yuan Pills from Miao Dan Fang, but there were still some materials that even Miao Dan Fang did not have.

In particular, there is a rare spiritual herb called Red Flower Grass, which is rarely found even within the Alchemist Alliance. This spiritual herb mainly grows in the scorching northern desert regions.

Very rare in the Jin and Chu states, only found in the desert regions of the northern Wei state.

However, it is said that recently, the lizardmen in the desert region of Wei have been very active, frequently attacking human cultivator mercenary teams that go to the desert in search of spiritual herbs.

This has also led to a sharp decline in the number of medicinal herbs in desert areas.

It seems the only option is to personally travel to the desert region to select the medicinal herbs.

Having made his plans, Ye Xiaobai stayed at Miaodanfang for a few more days, learning about the precautions for desert areas from Qian Rongsheng.

After refining another batch of pills for Miaodanfang, Ye Xiaobai took his leave and headed to the desert region.

Upon leaving the market, Ye Xiaobai immediately flew on his sword, heading swiftly towards the desert region of Wei.

On the road.

"This Manager Qian certainly knows how to do business. A few words of advice about desert areas and he got you to refine three days' worth of pills!" Tuntian couldn't help but complain to Ye Xiaobai.

"We're all from the Alchemist Alliance, and Manager Qian spent a lot of time finding the spiritual herbs we needed! It's a win-win situation!" Ye Xiaobai said casually.

"It's been many years since I've been to the desert. Back then, the Five Elements Venerable led me to slaughter all the demonic beasts of the desert region, making them flee in terror!..." Once the desert region was mentioned, Devouring Heaven began to talk about the past.

"Oh, so Senior Tuntian is very familiar with the desert region. Now you can be my guide!" Ye Xiaobai quickly interrupted Tuntian from continuing his story.

"You sure know how to make arrangements!" Tuntian immediately retorted.

"It's all about finding spiritual herbs for the senior to refine the Profound Origin Pill!"

"Okay, okay, it's all for me!"

"Senior, besides the lizardmen, what other dangerous places are there in the desert?" Ye Xiaobai asked curiously. Although Qian Rongsheng had already told him some information about the desert, Ye Xiaobai still felt that he should learn more and make more preparations in case of any unforeseen circumstances.

"Desert regions are mainly plagued by three calamities: dark quicksand, sandstorms, and deadly monsters!"

"Dark quicksand is a peculiar natural phenomenon in the desert. When people and monsters walk on the desert surface, they may encounter quicksand areas at any time. If they are not careful, they will be trapped in quicksand and die without a burial place!"

"We are all Core Formation stage cultivators, so we can just fly on our swords without any problems!" Ye Xiaobai said confidently.

"Naive! The weather in the desert is extremely hot, and the fire and earth elemental energies are very volatile. Cultivators will consume their spiritual energy very quickly when flying on a sword, which is an extremely dangerous activity!" Devouring Heaven said with a serious expression.

"Then there's no way to deal with it?" Ye Xiaobai asked in confusion.

"Idiot, if you really encounter quicksand, of course you should run away! Why worry about the consumption of spiritual energy!" Devouring Heaven cursed.

"Then sandstorms must also be a desperate escape, right?" Ye Xiaobai felt he could answer that out loud.

"Completely wrong! When you encounter a sandstorm, never run around. You should use the Earth Escape Technique to burrow underground in the desert to avoid contact with the sandstorm!"

"So that's how it is. That deadly monster was a lizardman, right?"

"It's not just the lizardmen, but also the desert scorpions. Once poisoned, without an antidote, you'll surely die within an hour!"

"Will my antidote pills work?" Ye Xiaobai quickly took out the antidote pills he had previously refined and showed them to Tuntian.

"Your antidote pills can only cure some common poisons, they definitely can't cure the poison of this desert scorpion!" Tuntian directly denied Ye Xiaobai's idea.

"So, Senior Devouring Heaven must have a solution?" Ye Xiaobai asked Devouring Heaven with anticipation.

"That's for sure. I don't have the antidote for the desert scorpion, but I do have the recipe for it. It's a sixth-grade antidote, though. You can buy some materials in a small town on the edge of the desert and you can make it!"

As he spoke, Tuntian handed Ye Xiaobai a recipe for an antidote for desert scorpions.

Ye Xiaobai took the prescription and examined it carefully.

"Not difficult, right?" Tuntian asked casually.

"It's not difficult at all, but it's a pity we don't have any materials to familiarize ourselves with right now!" Ye Xiaobai said.

"Don't worry, the spiritual herbs will be available once we get there!" Tuntian quickly reassured him.

"Since there are rare and precious herbs in the towns near the desert, we don't need to risk our lives to go into the desert to find them!" Ye Xiaobai felt that he had made a wise decision.

"You think it's simple? Red clover is a rare spiritual herb, and even small towns near the desert may not have it!" Devouring Heaven said disdainfully.

"So that's how it is. It seems we have no choice but to go into this desert!"

"What? You're scared just because you've heard that desert scorpions are slightly poisonous?" Devouring Heaven mocked directly.

"How could that be? It's just a desert scorpion! We'll take care of it! If you're still not satisfied, how about we make you a roasted desert scorpion?" Ye Xiaobai said confidently.

"Oh? Speaking of roasted scorpions, that's something to look forward to!" Tuntian immediately revealed an expectant look in his eyes.

"Let's go! Let's catch some scorpions!"
