Chapter 576 Cloudy Desert
Gu Li looked at Yu Tianzhen and said, "Dean, please tell me the location of the competition."
Yu Tianzhen was slightly stunned, and asked, "Aren't you going with the others?"
Gu Li shook his head and said, "No, I have other things to do."
She thought to herself that since the approximate location of the competition was close to the central area.
She could take this opportunity to check out the current situation of the Shadow Guards.
Yu Tianzhen thought for a moment, then took out a map from his arms, handed it to Gu Li, and said, "Yunxia Desert."
Feng Wuhen couldn't help but frown when he heard the name of this place, and asked in confusion: "Desert? Isn't it close to the central area?"
Yu Tianzhen looked at everyone, a little surprised: "You don't know Yunxia Desert?"
At this time, Gu Yi interrupted: "Of course I know, I'm just a little surprised that it's in the Yunxia Desert."
Hearing this, Gu Li's heart moved, and he guessed that Gu Yi and the others should be quite familiar with the Yunxia Desert, so he stopped asking any more questions.
Seeing this, Yu Tianzhen explained, "The location was determined after several major forces discussed it together."
Gu Li nodded, put away the map, and said, "Then we'll go there first."
Yu Tianzhen warned: "Don't be late, you must arrive within half a month."
Gu Li waved his hand to indicate that he understood.
After the group walked out of the academy, they jumped directly onto Xiao Quezi and headed towards the Yunxia Desert according to the instructions on the map.
Mu Yunxi sat on the little bird's back, unable to suppress her curiosity, and asked, "What is the Yunxia Desert?"
Others also turned their eyes to Gu Yi and Gu Er, waiting for their answers.
Gu Yi cleared his throat and said slowly: “The Yunxia Desert is indeed on the edge of the central area.
Simply put, there is a large area that cannot be developed into a residential area for some specific reasons.”
Gu Er then added: "To enter the central area, you must pass through the Yunxia Desert, which is similar to the boundary between the central area and the outside world."
After listening to this, Gu Li thought for a moment and said, "Contact the others so I can see the results of my cultivation."
When she was practicing before, she would refine pills whenever she had time. It was just right for her to give a batch to the Shadow Guards first, and it would not be too late to refine more after they were used up.
Gu Er responded: "Some of the Shadow Guards may not be able to make it here, they are all out for training."
Gu Li thought for a moment and said, "Then let Gu San, Gu Si, and Gu Wu come over."
Gu Yi said helplessly: "Gu Wu is not in Shenyuan Sect. She led the team out."
Gu Li hummed and said, "Okay, then two of you come over and take some cultivation resources back."
Gu Yi and Gu Er answered in unison: "Yes."
The Yunxia Desert was not very far away from where they were.
The little bird carried them across the sky, and after only three days of flying, they arrived near their destination.
Lin Yuchen looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow, this doesn't look like a desert!"
At this moment, they were standing not far from a city that looked particularly unique.
Unlike other cities, its outer walls are all fiery red, as if they were burning in a raging fire.
Moreover, the city wall is much taller than ordinary city walls, giving people a strong visual impact.
Gu Yi stepped forward and introduced: "The other side of Yunxia City is the Yunxia Desert. After crossing the Yunxia Desert, you can reach the central area."
Xi Zihan frowned slightly, feeling the heat coming from the air, and said, "The heat from the wall is very strong."
Just standing at such a distance from the city wall, they could clearly feel the rolling heat.
How do the people living there endure it?
Gu Yi smiled and explained: "Yunxia City is not hot. On the contrary, it is quite cool inside. It is just hotter outside."
When Su Yiyun heard this, he immediately became interested, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Wow, this is amazing. Can I dig some stones from the wall to refine weapons?"
Gu Li rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily, "If you're not afraid of being hunted down, then dig it."
Su Yiyun chuckled and started to talk nonsense: "Hehehe, I'm not afraid, I just don't know if you are afraid or not."
Gu Erze said patiently: "If you want it, you can go into the city and buy it. This is a kind of fire element ore, which is a top-quality material for refining weapons."
At this moment, An An in the space suddenly said: "Master, buy it, I can extract the essence of fire element from it for you to absorb."
Gu Li heard this, looked at Gu Yi, and asked, "Is it expensive?"
Gu Yi thought for a moment and replied, "Five million crystal stones each, a little bigger than the palm of your hand."
Mu Yunxi was shocked and said, "It's so expensive, how many crystal stones must have been spent on this city?"
Gu Er quickly said, "Young Master, don't worry about the crystals. We have plenty of them."
After all, not to mention that they currently have more than 2 billion crystals.
Just wait for Gu San and Gu Si to come over, and then take some from them.
As long as the young master wants it, he must buy it.
Gu Li looked at the bustling crowd in front of him and said, "Let's go into the city and find a place to stay first."
At this moment, Yunxia City was extremely lively because of the competition, and many outsiders came.
On the streets, in addition to the disciples of various forces wearing uniform clothing, there were also many independent practitioners who came here just to watch the excitement of this grand competition.
However, this also caused all the inns in the city to be overcrowded and the rooms had already been booked out.
Mu Yunxi looked at the crowded scene, frowned, and sighed: "It's troublesome."
The competition would not start for another ten days, and they did not know the exact location of the inn booked by their academy. Given the current situation, they might have to sleep on the streets.
Gu Li thought for a moment and said, "Let's go separately and have a look. Maybe we can find a place with vacancies."
Just as everyone was preparing to take action, "Young Sect Master."
A voice sounded behind them.
Gu Li and the others didn't turn around, subconsciously thinking that someone was calling someone else.
After all, how could someone suddenly call them Young Sect Master in this strange place?
Seeing that they had no response, Qin Hua felt helpless and quickly walked to Gu Li and said respectfully, "Young Sect Master, please stay."
Gu Li stopped and looked at the man in front of him with a puzzled look, and asked, "Are you calling me?"
Qin Hua bowed and said, "I, Qin Hua, greet the Young Master."
Su Yiyun teased, "Wow, when did you become the young master? How come I didn't know?"
Gu Li said to Qin Hua: "I am not your young master."
Qin Hua hurriedly explained: "I am a disciple of the Great Elder of Shenyuan Sect."
When Gu Li heard "Shenyuan Sect", his heart moved, and he quickly asked: "Shenyuan Sect, where is my mother?"
Qin Hua lowered his head slightly and said, "The sect leader is not here."
Gu Li frowned and asked, "Where did she go?"
Qin Hua looked embarrassed and replied, "I don't know the whereabouts of the Sect Master."
