Chapter 1044 - 1144: A Bountiful Harvest of Materials

So after these sandworms encountered an instinctive threat, they still felt fear, which is why they escaped from here!

Ye Tianfan did not pursue them in victory because these sandworms scattered too widely. So even if Ye Tianfan pursued them, he could only chase a few!

Ye Tianfan sighed in place, silently waiting for the space fracture to completely recover before descending again. Although this time, he perfectly killed many sandworms and scared off the rest, Ye Tianfan felt that he did not use his true strength to drive them away, but rather used the Vibrating Power to create the space fractures, which drove them away!

Furthermore, when Ye Tianfan used the Vibrating Power to hit the first sandworm, he could clearly feel that aside from the teeth being shattered, its body was only slightly torn apart inside; otherwise, it wasn't severely affected. If the sandworm's regenerative abilities were better, it's likely it could recover in a few minutes. So overall, Ye Tianfan's own strength didn't really harm these sandworms!

Ye Tianfan looked at the bloody surroundings with some disgust and frowned slightly. It was too filthy here, and the smell of sandworm blood wasn't pleasant. So Ye Tianfan lifted his foot, preparing to leave!

Suddenly, Ye Tianfan remembered that sandworms hold significant alchemical value, and although sandworm blood and meat can't be used to refine specific pills, they can enhance the quality of other pills when added during refinement.

They can even increase the success rate of pill refinement. Since the secret to refining certain special pills is continuous purification, sandworm blood and meat can improve drug quality, thus increasing the purity and consequently the success rate of refining specific medicines!

Suddenly, Ye Tianfan slapped his forehead hard, realizing why he did not collect them earlier. Instead, he waited until the space fracture had largely absorbed the sandworm remains to remember!

And now, what's left of the remains, although still considerable, is too scattered, and much of it has already mixed with the sand. If Ye Tianfan wants to gather the remains, he would inevitably have to collect the sand as well.

Of course, even if Ye Tianfan collects the sand along with the remains, it's no big issue. During alchemy, the sand can easily be evaporated!

Because the melting point of sand and the sandworm remains are vastly different, the sand would vaporize before anything unusual happens to the sandworm remnants!

Of course, this refers only to ordinary sand. Ye Tianfan wasn't sure whether this sand was ordinary, but he scooped up a handful, generated intense flames in his hand, and began to incinerate the sand. Before Ye Tianfan blinked, the sand had already turned to glass, which then slowly began to vaporize!

Ye Tianfan tossed the still un-vaporized glass to the ground after seeing this scene!

It appears this sand is indeed ordinary sand, so just evaporating it later will suffice. Even if it's not ordinary sand, gently separating it later will be easy enough!

After storing the remaining sandworm blood and flesh into the Xuanhuang Tower, Ye Tianfan looked around confused, unsure of which direction to go. The earlier battle had disoriented him, and everything around looked the same, so he didn't know where to head.

This left Ye Tianfan very frustrated. He wasn't afraid of taking the wrong path; he was afraid of retracing his steps.

After all, Ye Tianfan had been walking for so long that choosing a direction at random and ending back where he started would be extremely frustrating!

But there was no choice; Ye Tianfan couldn't find his original path. The tremors and impacts from the previous battle had erased every trace, and even further areas had been smoothed over by the desert winds.

So Ye Tianfan resorted to his old method, tossing the Fire Lotus Sword into the air and following the direction of its point!

With that, Ye Tianfan proceeded on foot in the indicated direction. He wasn't sure if this method was correct since walking was far too slow, but he remembered how flying with the Fire Lotus Sword hadn't revealed the edge despite flying for ages. Here couldn't be endlessly vast, so Ye Tianfan felt that searching by foot was the only way to move forward!

As Ye Tianfan walked, suddenly the scenery changed, turning into a green oasis. Ye Tianfan froze at the sight, thinking he might be looking at a mirage since mirages are common in deserts!

But upon closer thought, it didn't seem right. With his current strength, Ye Tianfan couldn't possibly be fooled by a mirage, those illusion techniques would be seen through easily, as mirages are just light distortions without any physical substance, so Ye Tianfan should see through them easily!

But the mirage in front of him was different. Ye Tianfan's Divine Sense could clearly feel the physical presence of the oasis, suggesting a breakthrough in the desert's barren expanse was possible!

After all, encountering an oasis in an endless desert warrants an exploration to see what's unique about it. If possible, Ye Tianfan would certainly investigate the small lake within the oasis!

Ye Tianfan accelerated, charging toward the oasis, eager and impatient to see if this oasis was a breakthrough point in the desert, as he had been wandering for a long time!

Ye Tianfan didn't feel tired; he simply found the desert incredibly dull, seeing nothing but endless stretches of sand without even a single bug!

Previously, Ye Tianfan had wondered why no more sandworms came his way. Having sandworms around was at least not boring, and Ye Tianfan had found a way to eliminate them, providing an opportunity to practice without using extreme measures!
