Bai Yang shrugged and said indifferently: "Who knows, maybe it's because it's too far apart across continents. In addition, the Ipach Desert is too wide and I don't know where it is missing. The more people you look for, the better."

Li Fei nodded absent-mindedly and said, "Okay, I'll join."

Bai Yang said happily: "Okay! With the addition of fellow Taoists, our team has reached five people. We should have good strength and can set off at any time. By the way, how do we call fellow Taoists?"

Li Fei replied casually: "Li Fei."

A moment later, Li Fei followed Bai Yang to the temporary station, just a relatively clean large stone. The other three fellow Taoists were meditating and practicing. Bai Yang announced enthusiastically: "Our search team is finally together, and this new member is Fellow Li Fei."

The three cultivators who were practicing looked at Li Fei, nodded, and said nothing. Li Fei also looked at the three of them and found that they were all cultivators in the late stage of foundation building. The first one on the left was a female cultivator, with a plump figure, black skirt and black veil, unable to see the true appearance clearly, and had the highest cultivation level, and had reached the state of great perfection in the late stage of foundation building. In the middle was a tall and thin old man with very small eyes, as if he was sleeping all the time; at the end was an old monk with red face and kind face.

Bai Yang introduced to Li Fei from left to right: "Fairy Heimei, Taoist Master Qi Ming, Master Faji."

Li Fei nodded and said politely: "Li Fei has met three fellow Taoists. On the way to search, I hope to work sincerely with all fellow Taoists to find the stone tablet smoothly."

Master Faji recited the Buddha's name and said, "Dear donors, since the team is in one go, let's set off as soon as possible. Of course, as a whole, the entire team should still be elected a captain in order to coordinate and exert the full strength of our team!"

Taoist Master Qiming moved his eyelids, and a crack appeared in his eyes, and he said casually: "The five of us have the highest cultivation level of the Black Plum Fairy, so we recommend the Black Plum Fairy as the captain."

Fairy Heimei shook her head and said in a vague voice: "I'm not good at socializing, so I'd better choose one of you four."

Master Qiming looked at Master Faji and said, "Then Master Faji, please work hard."

Master Faji shook his hand repeatedly and refused: "I have been traveling all over the world, and I think Taoist Qiming is more suitable. Bai Yang, Li Fei, you two will also express your opinions."

Bai Yang looked puzzled and hesitated for a while and said, "Since Master Faji thinks Taoist Qiming is more suitable, I agree."

Li Fei said seriously: "I agree too!"

Taoist Master Qiming smiled bitterly and said modestly: "I really don't dare to take it!... Thanks to all the fellow Taoists, I will reluctantly make it a big deal. Although the Ipach Desert is big enough, it's better to set off early. We will go to the Xianyuan Sect's resident to receive the positioning talisman and officially accept the task."

Naturally, everyone had no objection and stood up and walked towards a newly built three-story building located at the entrance of the desert. The five people arrived in front of the building. Taoist Qiming successfully received the task. After a greeting, the five people entered the desert.

After entering the desert, the sun just rose. Li Fei felt pretty good. He saw the endless desert scenery for the first time. Although he couldn't say he was relaxed and happy, he also had a magnificent feeling.

At the beginning, there were some sporadic oasis and some drought-tolerant desert plants, and there were many references everywhere. After half an hour, the five people had completely entered the depths of the desert, and there were vast deserts in all directions. If it weren't for the fact that there were many abandoned items by their predecessors along the way, this ancient road would have long been unrecognizable.

Although Li Fei and his group entered the desert early, they were definitely not the earliest group today. Strangely, there were no traces on the ancient road. Li Fei raised his own question.

Bai Yang explained: "We got the news very late. Some forces may have known some more detailed news a long time ago, so the previous paragraph was flying directly. We chose to walk from the beginning because no one has found the stone tablet so far. We analyzed it last night, and it is also possible that the previous clues were not necessarily accurate."

Li Fei nodded in agreement and continued: "There is no special fluctuation in this stone tablet. It is more difficult to find a needle in such a wide desert than to find a needle in a haystack! If someone deliberately hides it, it is too easy, and it is basically unlikely to find it."

Bai Yang smiled bitterly and said, "If there is a characteristic that is easy to find, we won't be able to find it... However, Xianyuan Sect said that the stone tablet must be still in the Ipach Desert. In addition, according to legend, the air humidity directly above the stone tablet will be higher, which is of course related to the distance of the stone tablet from the ground. The deeper the burial, the worse the effect will naturally be."

Li Fei showed a hint of surprise and said curiously: "There is still such a characteristic? If it is true, it can be considered a favorable factor in the desert."

Taoist Master Qiming said, "That's just a legend. Even if it's true, that little difference is just a matter of time. It's hard to find out if ordinary searchers just pass by."

Li Fei and his group lined up and continued to move forward. Li Fei's heart moved. When everyone was not paying attention, he took out a relatively advanced electronic hygrometer, set a very small upper limit alarm value, and hung it on his belt.

An hour later, a team of more than ten people surpassed Li Fei and others and walked quickly forward. Next, every short period of time, a team of varying numbers surpassed.

When it was almost noon, Li Fei could no longer remember how many teams he met, and at least there were thousands of cultivators.

Taoist Master Qiming has always been very patient. He didn't hurry to see the team surpassing, and he still kept moving forward at a speed that was neither fast nor slow. Of course, there were also teams that were searching slowly like Li Fei and the others.

Just after noon, the clear sky soon became gloomy. The wind increased a lot without realizing it, and the rising sand and dust accelerated the arrival of darkness.

Master Qiming signaled everyone to stop moving forward and said worriedly: "This wave of sandstorms is probably very strong, and it may last for a long time. I am really worried that others will take the lead."

Master Faji pronounced the Buddha's name and frowned and said, "I heard that during the sandstorm, someone was fishing for troubled waters. Everyone should be vigilant."

In less than a stick of incense, the strong sunshine quickly switched to night. With the strange roar of wind and sand, Li Fei felt uneasy, as if thousands of ghosts were howling. Although cultivators were not afraid of ghosts, in the face of the powerful power of nature, Li Fei felt that he was so small.

Li Fei tried to release his divine thoughts and explore forward, and was soon shocked! It turned out that Bai Yang just said that sandstorms would affect divine thoughts, but Li Fei didn't care too much, thinking that it was only a little impact.

After practice, Li Fei realized that the impact was too great, just like when playing CD, it encountered a large number of mosaics, and the distance was more than a few miles, and he could not accurately sense it. Li Fei felt like a cloud sea beast again, and was secretly alert to Bai Yang and others.

Master Qiming gathered everyone together and said, "Now I must be unable to move forward. Let's discuss whether to wait in place or find a relatively sheltered place for a while."

The Black Plum Fairy still said in that empty tone: "It's up to you to decide, I don't care."

Master Faji said cautiously: "In order to reduce the trouble, I think it is better to deviate from the ancient road a little distance. When the wind stops, we will return."

Bai Yang echoed: "Master Faji is right, so let's avoid it for a while."

Although Li Fei didn't want to agree with them, he was alone and had to agree.

Taoist Master Qi Ming finally concluded: "All fellow Taoists agree to avoid it first, so let's take action immediately. I observed that there was still a short time before the strong wind came. There was an abandoned site fifty miles northeast, which was OK as a temporary shelter."

Everyone naturally had no objection. Taoist Qi Ming held a yellow compass in his hand, took the lead, and quickly rushed to the side. Li Fei's cultivation was the lowest among the five, so he naturally fell to the end.

After a stick of incense, a group of five people came to the periphery of the site. While approaching the site, Li Fei tried his best to search the site, but no abnormalities were discovered. The other four people were naturally doing the same thing.

Just as Li Fei was about to withdraw his mind, he accidentally discovered that there was a waste well at the other end of the site about two miles apart. A piece of rag was randomly covered with the entrance of the waste well. There was nothing special about it, but Li Fei noticed that there was less sand and dust on the rag, as if it was newly covered.

When Li Fei carefully controlled his spiritual thoughts and wanted to go through the rag to explore the well, he actually found that the spiritual thoughts could not pass through a rag! Li Fei was shocked, and a bad premonition came instantly, and he did not advance but retreated. He jumped and flew backwards.

When Li Fei was down to earth, the scenery changed instantly, but the desert was still there, but there was no sandstorm, and it was a desert under the clear sky! Li Fei felt very regretful and thought that he could have pulled out earlier when he discovered the secret. Unexpectedly, the other party was faster and immediately activated the formation.

At this time, the Black Plum Fairy and Master Faji were strangely standing back to back, looking like they were facing a great enemy. Taoist Qiming and Bai Yang each held a token in their hands, with a relaxed and freehand look on their faces. The rag on the ancient well disappeared, and five black shadows emerged from the ancient well. Three of them had the cultivation level of the late stage of the foundation building, and the other two had the cultivation level of the same as Bai Yang, at the peak of the middle stage of the foundation building.

The seven people were divided into two groups tacitly. Taoist Master Qi Ming and three late-stage monks surrounded Heimei Fairy and Master Faji. Bai Yang and two middle-stage monks rushed towards Li Fei.

Li Fei did not act rashly for the time being, but his mind was fully opened and he paid close attention to the movements around him. Although Li Fei didn't know how many enemies there were, he could only think about it and his strength was at least twice as strong as the original five-man team, and there were formations arranged in advance. If you make a slight mistake in dealing with it, you might stay here forever.

Taoist Qiming was very surprised by the performance of the Black Plum Fairy and Master Faji, and they joined one after another. Taoist Qiming didn't see them having any communication and always thought that they had no relationship. Unexpectedly, the two of them were actually a couple who cooperated with a very tacit understanding. However, due to the accident, Taoist Qiming was still full of confidence, just thinking that it might take a little more time.
