Chapter 639 Phantom Sandstorm
Windbreak Valley does not have a large prison, only underground caves where prisoners are temporarily held.
Whenever you remember, you can send it to the local government office in the nearest county or prefecture, where it will be judged by a specialist.
Ye Kang and his group completed their mission without receiving any reward.
As they walked through Windbreak Valley, they were met with envious glances from all around them.
"Have you heard? Commander Ye, who was just promoted, captured that Sha Shangfei alive!"
"That's incredible! How did he do that? I heard that Sha Shangfei has an extremely powerful escape technique that most people can't catch up to."
"Who knows? Maybe it was the Silver Dragon Soldier who made the move. If we see him in the future, we should stay away from him to avoid him holding a grudge."
Many people were whispering among themselves, but Ye Kang became interested.
He was also very interested in the escape technique that Sha Shangfei used.
He took direct control of Lian Hulong's camp and led Shen Fei and the others into a secluded tent.
Then, with a wave of his hand, a total of 100 spirit crystals were placed on the ground.
"Twenty pieces per person, everyone deserves it."
Shen Fei's mouth dropped open instantly, and his eyes lit up.
"Brother Ye, this...it's actually not necessary, we didn't do much..."
"Yeah, Brother Ye, we feel really bad about it."
Ye Kang smiled and said, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. You lent me spirit crystals to buy array materials before, so this is to repay you. You will also benefit from this in the future."
Hearing Ye Kang say that, Little Scarface didn't hesitate and immediately took her share.
"At least you have some conscience; you haven't forgotten us."
"Brother Ye is awesome!"
"Brother Ye! I, Jiang Qiyun, am yours for life!"
"Get lost, I don't want a man."
Ye Kang gave him a disdainful look, then smiled and said, "Alright, everyone go out and rest. I have some things to do, so don't let anyone in."
"Don't worry, Brother Ye, with us here, this place is guaranteed to be impregnable!"
The group excitedly walked out, and soon only Ye Kang remained.
Only then did he immerse his mind in the world of black jade.
They moved all the loot from Sha Shangfei in, leaving only a worthless storage bag to complete the task.
Ye Kang had just distributed another 100 spirit crystals, and after counting them, he realized he only had less than 100 spirit crystals left.
He's just a bandit; he couldn't possibly have that much savings. He probably robbed it from the caravan manager and hasn't had a chance to spend it yet.
Spirit crystals didn't matter to Ye Kang; what he cared about most were the treasures sealed in jade boxes and the martial arts jade slips.
Inside the jade box were many precious plants, most of which were top-tier precious plants.
Ye Kang searched for a long time before finally finding a decent one.
【Ding】
[Congratulations, host, on obtaining the rare plant: Spirit-Nourishing Moss]
【Spirit-Nourishing Moss: A precious plant that can be cultivated under extremely harsh conditions, used to repair the primordial spirit and enhance its strength】
"Cultivable?"
【Ding】
[System Prompt: The host can purchase corresponding Treasure Plant Cultivation Recipes from the system shop]
"What! Not again!"
Ye Kang was speechless; he hadn't expected the system shop to have new items.
That's right, the system previously had a really awful in-game store that only had three items.
Shrinking Earth Talisman, Universal Key, Bluff Talisman.
All of these items required 50 points of enlightenment to exchange for, and Ye Kang had never bought them even once.
Unexpectedly, new items were added again. He quickly opened the store, and then he was completely speechless.
"You're ripping me off! Is it really necessary to charge such a high price for just a secret recipe?!"
That's right, a brand new section has appeared in the system.
It's called the Baozhi Cultivation Column.
All the items were marked with question marks, except for one line that read "Unlocked," which was none other than the Divine Moss.
Priced at 50 for enlightenment.
It was too expensive, but Ye Kang didn't shut down the store immediately. Instead, he was caught in a rare dilemma.
Reason told him it was too expensive and he couldn't afford it.
But this is a secret recipe for cultivating precious plants! Once you learn it, you can grow the Spirit-Nourishing Moss in large quantities, and you might make a fortune selling it...
After hesitating for a moment, he sighed and said, "This is not something I should be thinking about right now. Let's talk about it later. Let's save the seeds first."
He flashed and handed the jade box containing the Spirit-Nourishing Moss to Xia Ningyan.
This guy's cultivation has progressed rapidly, and he has already entered the Divine Sea Realm.
Moreover, she was an honorary disciple of the Yin Saint Demon Lord, although she was merely a gardener responsible for tending the garden.
But this is the garden of the Yin Saint Demon Lord. She must have received some of the Demon Lord's true teachings to be able to inherit this mission.
There is no one more suitable than her.
Upon hearing that the plant in her hand was a rare and precious treasure, Xia Ningyan immediately tensed up, fearing that something might go wrong.
Ye Kang told her to relax, and then returned to the spoils of war.
Those ordinary treasures are nothing special; the key is those martial arts jade slips.
Ye Kangyuan scanned the area with his divine sense and immediately found what he wanted.
【Ding】
[Recorded Escape Technique: Phantom Sandstorm]
【Phantom Sandstorm: A sand-遁法 (sand-escaping technique) that allows one to quickly penetrate underground, transforming into a mysterious light. When mastered to a high level, all sand can turn into bubbles, creating countless false bodies that are indistinguishable from the real ones.
[The Furnace of Myriad Laws Reminder: Escape techniques have no ranks, only suitability. Speed naturally increases with cultivation level.]
"This is it!"
Ye Kang immediately became excited.
I didn't expect Phantom Sand to be so powerful. It has no grade distinction, which means it can be used regardless of the level.
Of course, the only limitation is that this method is a desert specialty, and it certainly cannot exert its power in environments without deserts.
But what can you do when your spawn point is the desert? It's perfect!
Judging from the introduction to the escape technique, that guy Sha Shangfei hasn't grasped the essence at all; he's probably only just begun.
Even so, he has been arrogant for so long because of his escape techniques, which shows how powerful he is.
Ye Kang made a decisive decision: "System, comprehend Phantom Sandstorm!"
【Ding】
[Congratulations, host, for successfully mastering the Desert Specialization Escape Technique: Phantom Sandstorm by consuming 20 Enlightenment Points]
Ye Kang breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the system was still kind to him.
This kind of escape technique, which can only be used in the desert, isn't actually that expensive.
As enlightenment washed over him, Ye Kang closed his eyes slightly.
He seemed to have become a young knight-errant roaming the desert, accompanied by sand, drinking wine in the wind, traveling thousands of miles with his sword, and settling scores with gusto.
One day, a knight-errant saw an explorer in distress and immediately went to his rescue, only to be ambushed by a bizarre sand worm that dragged him underground in the desert and bit off his two legs.
Fortunately, his swordsmanship was formidable. After slaying the sand worm, the swordsman, having learned his lesson, comprehended this escape technique within the sand worm's corpse.
From then on, the world lost a spirited young swordsman, but gained a legless ghost who drove away insects and slew demons beneath the desert...
Ye Kang opened his eyes with a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of mixed emotions, often including regret or nostalgia). The young hero who was comprehending the truth seemed to have changed, yet he also seemed unchanged. Now, he wondered where he was fighting sand worms.
The only thing known is that he is exceptionally talented, and his unique escape technique is astonishing.
Ye Kang returned to his tent, and with a thought, his body transformed into a mysterious light and disappeared underground.
