The Northern Wei Desert Wasteland in early spring is still a dead and desolate scene.

Even at noon, the chill blowing from the mountain icebergs can still make frost appear on the surface of the soil in this wasteland, and still make the soil hard.

The flowers that bloomed last summer have withered, but they stand in the cold wind with frost. Under the swaying of the sun, from afar, they look like new flowers in recent spring.

A young man with short-haired bags and walking in the desert with his waist slightly bent.

The areas he was walking in were even less vegetation, and some large areas of scorched earth were burned by sky fire.

His clothes were dressed as ordinary herders, but his feet were only tied with thin animal skins. These animal skins were specially tanned and were very soft and tough. Ordinary sharp objects would not pierce these animal skins. However, when the feet were on hard objects, the pain would penetrate the person's mind without any hindrance from the flesh and blood.

The short-haired young man was leaning on a wooden stick with both hands. The top of the stick looked like the black hooves of two donkeys from a distance, but in fact, they were two black magnets.

This young man is the iron picker in the northern desert as the Northern Wei people called. In the past countless years, a large number of healthy people in Mobei have relied on walking in the desert that is uninhabited for a long time and reaping falling iron to make a living.

A very small number of them discovered valuable iron and meteorites and got rid of their extremely poor life. Some of them were lucky enough to even let themselves and their families leave the northern desert from then on, allowing them to live and work in a more prosperous place in the Northern Wei Dynasty. However, most of these iron pickers would stay in the desert forever while walking like this.

There are too many unpredictable factors in this desert that make people die, but for thousands of years, most of the special weapon refining materials that have appeared in the world of practitioners in the Northern Wei and Western Regions have often come from the hands of these iron pickers.

Most of these iron pickers are not practitioners, but their footprints have even reached areas where many Tantric ascetic monks have not reached.

Especially after thousands of years of continuous search, when the sky iron in most places becomes increasingly rare and the number of such iron pickers is becoming less and less. These poor people in the north of the desert can no longer completely change their destiny through this ancient profession. However, these iron pickers who still want to change their destiny in this way will be like this young man with short hair, and will be more and more distant deserts that few people have reached before.

Fewer people arrive, and the farther desert contains more unknown dangers.

The young man with short hair walked very carefully. The thick skin wrapped under his feet could not only feel the hard objects buried in the soil by trampling, but also feel the slight vibration of the ground.

Even in this season, poisonous insects may still emerge in this dead desert soil, because under many seemingly extremely cold soil, there are often active poisonous insects due to geothermal heat or some special meteorites.

He walked carefully and his movements were very small, because this was the only way to ensure his physical exhaustion. But suddenly, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky above his head.

A red light appeared in the sky.

His pupils expanded violently and contracted violently. His body began to tremble, and he almost subconsciously roared.

In his perception, this red light happened to be when he encountered a meteorite falling.

However, in the next moment, the sky above his pupils turned red.

He saw many red lines falling like a meteor shower.

...

A Chaizhun looked at Luoyang from afar.

He and his several followers looked at the heroic city in the distance, with indescribable emotion in their eyes.

"A city like this can really be called a city."

A follower behind him couldn't help but say.

For them, the generals from Tuyuhun, the cities of the Northern Wei and Southern Dynasties always had an inexplicable huge attraction.

“We will be back.”

Achai Zhun smiled faintly and said, "Maybe the waiting time doesn't take long."

"Let's go!"

Achaizhun and the several followers stopped looking, drove their horses and did not walk on the official road, but walked along the path between the countryside toward the west.

When night fell, they stopped in an abandoned farmhouse.

Several followers quickly set up the marching camp tent and ignited a bonfire.

The strong aroma of meat and butter tea quickly surged by the bonfire.

After eating and drinking, Achai took out a piece of stuff from his sleeve and looked at it carefully in the light of fire.

This thing is only half a palm-sized size. At a high level, it looks like a broken piece of red pottery. But when you look closely, you will find that its surface is like stone pottery, which is caused by violent friction with the air. It is a very strange piece of meteorite.

Under the rough surface, there are many natural dark red crystals. They grow out of the inside of meteorite, clustered in clusters, forming very beautiful natural crystal patterns.

Under the illumination of the fire, the surface of these crystals did not emit any strange light. The reflection of the fire in them was like some meteors walking, or it seemed to be sealed in it forever.

Several followers beside him were also looking at this thing curiously.

A Chaizhun did not deliberately avoid these entourages.

These followers are not powerful practitioners, but they are extremely loyal to him and will not covet his martial arts and magical tools.

This magic weapon is one of the transactions between Hebayue and him. This magic weapon is called Wen Tianyue. The history of this magic weapon can be traced back to the Shang Dynasty before the You Dynasty. Its greatest function is to have a strange response to those things outside the sky. In fact, it was the first time that there were many meteorites and meteorite crystals in the northern desert of the Northern Wei Dynasty. This is because of this thing.

This thing is a magical artifact for finding meteorites and meteorite crystals. Before this magic weapon disappeared in the world due to war, many legendary special meteorites were very meteorite crystals, so they rely on this object to find them out.

As long as you have this magic weapon, even if there are few meteorites and meteorite crystals in the northern desert of the Northern Wei Dynasty at this time, as long as you are willing to spend a certain amount of time, you will definitely be able to find many good meteorites and meteorite crystals with this object.

Materials with unique characteristics also have infinite possibilities for practitioners.

In Ah Chaizhun's eyes, this magic weapon was of course a real treasure. Just at noon today, he discovered a wonderful qi sensing on this magic weapon. According to the aura fluctuations on this magic weapon, he was sure that some new meteorites fell in the northern Mobei region.

Of course he did not rush to Mobei as soon as possible.

He chose to rush to Dangxiang's border first, and then go from Dangxiang's border toward the unmanned land in the desert north.

In this way, we should be able to avoid the eyes and ears of the northern tribes and the ascetic monks in the northern desert.

Everything seems perfect, and even the shortcomings of looking at Luoyang's heroic city seems to be just a matter of time.

However, in the middle of the night, a figure suddenly appeared outside the farmhouse, while breaking the silence of the night, also completely made Achaizhun's breathing seem to bring the chill in the glacier.

"Master of the Demon Sect?"

He was more powerful than those entourages, so he was the first to sense the arrival of this person. When he made such a sound incredibly, the entourages in the camp beside him didn't even realize that there was one more person outside.

"I didn't expect it was you."

A calm but familiar voice sounded in Achaizhun's ears.

Unlimited fear suddenly surged from the depths of Achaizhun's heart. He crawled out of the camp as fast as possible and left the farmhouse. But when he saw the figure of the Demon Sect in the darkness, he did not dare to say anything for a moment, but he subconsciously bowed quickly.

"I heard that you captured the heir of the northern survivors, but I didn't expect that you were the ones who felt here, so you have already completed the transaction with her and the He clan?" The Demon Sect looked at him quietly and asked.

The appearance of the Demon Sect talking to him seemed to be no different from before, but for some reason, when the Demon Sect stood quietly in front of him this time, Achai Zhun only felt that he was integrated with the darkness behind him and the world, just like an extremely huge monster standing behind him that could swallow the entire world and all darkness.

At this time, Achaizhun was already strong enough for most practitioners in the world, but at this time, he didn't even have any thoughts to fight against him. The indescribable fear made cold sweat constantly burst out from his vest and forehead.

"You are a very practical person."

Before he responded, the voice of the Demon Sect had sounded again, "What conditions did they give you?"

The Demon Sect did not even change its tone of voice, but Achai Zhun heard more coldness from it. He no longer dared to hesitate and stretched out his right hand that had been holding the magic weapon tightly.

The Demon Sect stretched out his hand.

The magic weapon with Achai Zhun's body temperature fell into the hands of the Demon Sect.

The Demon Sect looked at the magic weapon in his hand and frowned slightly, but a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Wanting Tianyue?"

Achaizhun nodded.

The strange smile on the corner of the Demon Sect's mouth instantly expanded, "Do you think this is Wen Tianyue?"

Achaizhun's breathing suddenly stopped. He didn't understand the meaning of the Demon Sect at this time.

The strange smile on the Demon Sect's face suddenly became cold, and his five fingers contracted slightly, and the magic weapon made an extremely ugly and harsh sound in his hands.

Crystal dust flowed out between his palms and fingers. When his five fingers loosened again, the remaining ball of things in his hand was like a piece of iron that had been pinched into a ball.

"I have never seen the real Wen Tianyue, but I can tell you that this thing is just a fake weapon."

The Demon Sect let go of the ball of things in his hand and let it fall to the ground in front of him.

There seemed to be wind blowing in the darkness, blowing against A Chaizhun, who was already covered in cold sweat. A Chaizhun shivered immediately.

"This is a fake weapon, but it is precisely because you have this fake weapon that I am here." The Demon Sect stood with his hands behind his back and said.

A Chai Zhun's fearful heart suddenly burst out with some anger, and his voice became even stranger to himself. "Master Demon Sect... What do you mean is that I was used by Hebayue. He made me think this thing is the legendary Wen Tianyue, but in fact, is he going to use the breath of this thing to attract you here?"

"It seems you want to hide from me."

The Demon Sect smiled faintly and said, "But it is indeed this thing that makes me think you are the so-called descendant of Emperor You."

Achaizhun's face was extremely pale. At this time, he suddenly thought of Bai Yuelu's serious warning before, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

"What kind of person is Hebayue?"

However, the Demon Sect looked in Mobei with a expressionless face, and there was no unnecessary emotion in his voice. "According to my current judgment, he triggered some star energy and aroused the Qi reaction of this pseudo-device. The Qi reaction of this pseudo-device seems to indicate the direction of the falling of the sky iron, but in fact, the real function of this pseudo-device mislead my perception and made me feel that the important person related to Emperor You is here. Since he spent so much effort to lead me here, of course he did not want to use my hand to kill you. Your life is not worth money in his eyes. Now you'd better help me think about why he had to spend so many tricks to lead me here at this time."

"I don't understand why he did that."

Achai Zhun said this, and when this sentence was said, his words immediately did not help the Demon Sect’s judgment of Hebayue at all. If it did not help the Demon Sect’s judgment of Hebayue, then he might have a terrible fate.

He immediately changed his mouth with rapid breathing and said, "Not only did he give me this magic weapon, he also passed on me a martial art and told me a secret."

The Demon Sect looked at him calmly and said nothing.

Achaizhun immediately continued and said, "What he passed on to me was the Western Pure World Method of the Yuwen family. The secret he told me was the true essence method he practiced. After his true essence invaded the other party's body, he could learn about the other party's practice method."

The Demon Sect frowned slightly, he was a little surprised, and he did not hide this surprise. He looked at Ah Chaizun, nodded as if he was approving, and then calmly raised his own question, "You can perceive the other party's method of practicing by using true energy into the body. Such a secret method, I have not seen such a record in all the classics I have read. Why do you believe that what he said is the truth?"

"Because he gave me a talisman. When this talisman burned in my hand, the initial breath of his true energy was blooming, but when the talisman of this talisman bloomed, many different powerful auras appeared in this talisman."

Achai Zhun's face was still pale, but the expression in his eyes also seemed strange, "The auras of different strong men were all triggered by his true energy, but after they were really triggered, it seemed that it was not his true energy at all, but those strong men were using their true energy to display. Among these auras, there was even the secret aura of the ascetic monks of the Mobei Tantric Buddhism.
