Chapter 48: The Sea of Shifting Sands

  Wang Xuan Yang returned to the family, causing a high level of attention from the upper echelons of the Wang clan. They had placed great expectations on him, as a family that passed down martial arts, the number of symbol bearers was extremely small, and they urgently needed new symbol bearers to enhance the family's prestige. After all, having a symbol bearer with unlimited potential was equivalent to having a large symbol dao sect as a backing.

  The Wang family set up a grand banquet to entertain their relatives and even invited high-ranking members of several other major families in Liusha City.

  This made other families envy and jealous, to know that other families also entered the Wu Yan Sect with Wang Xuanyang, but unfortunately, several others had already failed in the name registration assessment and were expelled from the Wu Yan Sect.

  Only Wang Xuan Yang stayed in Bu Yan Fu Zong.

  In the history of Quicksand City, those who can enter the inner door of the Unspeakable Sect are extremely rare. The vast majority of those with innate talent are eliminated in the naming assessment, and some are stuck at the outer door before being eliminated in the outer door assessment. As for those who truly enter the inner door, they can be counted on one's fingers.

  Now, with the addition of Wang Xuan Yang, it's naturally a hot topic!

  However, Wang Xuanyang did not attend this banquet, after all, there were more important things.

  Although the high-level members of the Wang family were quite disappointed, Wang Xuan Yang is now different from before, with a broad future ahead of him, and can be said to be the hope for the rise of the Wang family, so they are very understanding.

  However, the banquet did not stop and instead lasted for three days.

  Moreover, he also showed concern for Wang Xuanyang's family members, inquiring about their well-being and bestowing various gifts upon them without hesitation.

  As for this, Wang Xuanyang didn't have any feelings about it. His mind was all on how to get the Hui Hun Yang Sheng Dan. Without the Hui Hun Yang Sheng Dan, his mother wouldn't be able to live much longer.

  Wang Xuanyang spent most of the evening at home chatting with his father.

  In the morning, he left the Wang Fu with Fat Brother and returned to the inn.

  "Fat brother, I really neglected you yesterday."

  Wang Xuanyang apologized.

  "What's wrong with that? Family reunions are a good thing, and yesterday was the most comfortable day for me!"

  Fat Shixiong smiled and said.

  As a top-notch disciple of the Unspoken Sect, the Wang family naturally treated him with utmost respect and served him with great care.

  "However, Brother Xuanyang, I see you're frowning and looking worried, is there something troubling you?"

  Fat Master Brother, what a keen eye! As soon as he came out of the Wang Mansion, Wang Xuan Yang's expression was somewhat off.

  Wang Xuanyang smiled wryly and said, "It's nothing difficult. Perhaps it's just that you've just seen your family and have to leave again, so you're feeling a bit sad!"

  "You can't fool me, brother. If you regard me as your senior, then speak up. Maybe I can even help."

  Fat master shook his head and pretended to be unhappy.

  But his appearance was more and more comical as he looked at it, not serious at all.

  Wang Xuanyang was in no mood for joking and hesitated for a moment before finally telling the truth.

  "It's like that, your mother's condition is indeed critical. Although using nourishing and life-nourishing pills can sustain her for a period of time, it can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. Only top-grade pills like the Soul-Returning Life-Nourishing Pill can thoroughly cure her, without leaving any underlying illness."

  Fat Shixiong's face moved, and he immediately looked at Wang Xuanyang and said: "Xuanyang Shidi, don't worry about this matter, just leave the trivial matter of a single Rebirth Nourishing Dan to Shixiong!"

  Wang Xuanyang hastily said: "How can this be, no, Fat Shixiong, the matter of the Rejuvenating Elixir, I'll think of a way myself."

  "Xuanyang, my junior brother, you think I'm not good enough? Besides, you've helped me earn 8,000 contribution points, and this Rebirth Nourishing Elixir is also worth 8,000 contribution points. Doesn't that mean heaven is helping you too? Alright, let's settle this matter. Your mother's affair is the most important, I'll take care of the Rebirth Nourishing Elixir. The sooner the better, I'll use a Sound Transmission Token to inform one of my junior brothers to send over the Rebirth Nourishing Elixir first. This way, neither your mother's affair nor our task will be delayed."

  Fat brother waved his hand.

  80,000 contribution points were a considerable amount for him, and he was right at the critical point of his promotion test, but he still took them out without hesitation.

  Wang Xuanyang was stunned on the spot, feeling a sour nose.

  After being in the circle for so long, he has seen many people's cold and warmth, with too many benefits and too many disputes. Without strength, one cannot get respect; without talent, one cannot get attention, let alone true friendship. This is an extremely indifferent world.

  But on Fat Brother's body, I found a warm feeling.

  "Thanks, Big Brother!"

  Wang Xuanyang's tone became low and depressed.

  "Men, what are you doing with your mother-in-law? And as for my brother, I'm not doing it for free. You'll have to pay me back later, with interest! Ah, forget the interest, but 8,000 contribution points is non-negotiable. If we were to calculate the interest, who knows when you'd be able to pay it off? So that's final, 8,000 contribution points, not a single point less!"

  Fat Master glared at Wang Xuan Yang with his small eyes, looking like he couldn't stand Wang Xuan Yang's expression and tone.

  Wang Xuanyang rubbed his head, smiled foolishly for a moment, and said firmly: "Brother Pang, don't worry, I will definitely pay it back as soon as possible."

  The Huigui Yangsheng Dan has been settled, and Wang Xuanyang's mood improved, no longer as depressed as before.

  "Alright, alright, hurry back, they're probably all waiting anxiously."

  Fat brother urged.

  The two returned to the inn and joined Lin Zidan and others. Of course, the things they were blamed for were no longer mentioned.

  Before long, Wang Xuan Yang and his eight companions left the Flowing Sand City and headed towards the Flowing Sand Sea two hundred and eighty miles away.

  They didn't ride unicorns or pegasi, after all, the Sea of Quicksand wasn't suitable for riding horses, and it would be a burden instead.

  So they left the Qilin horse at the inn.

  At this time, it was already late, and the people of the Knife Sword Sect had left early. Along the way, there were streams of people rushing to the Flowing Sand Sea everywhere.

  Without riding the Qilin, their speed was greatly reduced. The four Fat Brothers used their Light Body Technique to boost the others' speed, making them run much faster than normal, but still slower than riding a horse. However, in less than an hour, the Sea of Quick Sand was within sight.

  Endless dunes of sand, like a golden ocean, with waves rising and falling, extremely magnificent. Occasionally, sandstorms form, with yellow sand filling the sky, connecting heaven and earth, exceptionally magnificent.

  This expanse of sandy sea is neither large nor small, a hundred miles in circumference. For high-level symbol users who can fly, it's possible to traverse in a short period of time. However, the treacherous nature of this flowing sand sea has turned it into a graveyard for the strong, capable of swallowing everything. Over the years, countless powerful individuals have been swallowed up here.

  At this moment, a large number of martial artists and Taoist priests have gathered at the edge of the sea of quicksand.

  Although the quicksand sea has undergone some small changes, it still hasn't completely stabilized, so you can't enter yet. Otherwise, it will be extremely dangerous.

  When Wang Xuan Yang and his group arrived, they didn't attract much attention. After all, there were too many people, and it wasn't just Wang Xuan Yang's group that had come from the Inner Sect. There were also many other inner sect disciples who had come, but those who could come here were at least inner sect disciples who had exploded dozens of true cavities, as well as elite disciples or even core disciples. Even if there were low-level inner sect disciples, they would be led by elite disciples.

  There were also many inner disciples of the Knife Sword Sect present at the scene.

  Wang Xuanyang also discovered that there were some Taoist priests, all wearing black cloaks, looking very mysterious.

  According to Fat Master's introduction, this group of people wearing black cloaks are from a powerful symbol school thousands of miles away, called the Dark Symbol School. They practice the dark symbol way, are good at dark symbol methods, and belong to a sect that is both righteous and evil.

  In addition, there were also several powerful symbol Daoist sects with disciples present, such as the Dream Illusion Symbol Sect, the Star Luo Symbol Sect, and the White Bone Symbol Sect. These sects were on par with the Unspoken Symbol Sect. As for other lower-grade symbol Daoist sects, there were even more of them. The disciples of these sects made up more than half of the total number of symbol users, leaving only a few scattered symbol users. They were called scattered symbol users not because they were isolated or lonely, but because their symbol Dao inheritance was not mainstream and did not have any qualifications to participate in the ranking of sects.

  The rest are martial artists with not low cultivation, the martial way itself is inferior to the symbol way, only cultivating one true acupoint, that is the Dan Tian Qi Hai acupoint, unless it's a high-level martial artist, otherwise, they can't be compared to a symbol user of the same level.

  So many warriors and martial artists gathered here, it can be seen that the Sea of Flowing Sand has a great attraction to them.
