Leaving the oasis, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Guangling faced the scorching hot wind and headed towards the quicksand area.

The camel beast would not go to the quicksand area, so naturally, the few of them could no longer hitch a ride. They could only walk step by step in the desert.

Fire Phoenix and Huo Wu also followed behind.

The Blazing Lion King usually lived independently, so in order to find it, they could not go to the Blazing Lion's territory. Therefore, the two of them could only follow Tang San and the others, hoping to get lucky.

After all, the Blazing Lion King lived independently outside. In order to grow, it had to hunt other spirit beasts. The Irontooth Fish would appear in the quicksand area, and it would often rest by the quicksand. It seemed to be one of the easiest prey for the Blazing Lion King to catch.

Climbing up a sand dune, Tang San stopped and looked into the distance at the flowing "river" five hundred meters away.

Different from the yellow sand under his feet, the quicksand was white in color, reflecting the light and somewhat dazzling. He did not know where it came from or where it went.

This quicksand was different from what he had imagined.

In his previous life's impression, quicksand looked no different from ordinary yellow sand on the surface. It was just that if a person or animal accidentally stepped into it, they would never be able to get out and would sink into it.

However, the quicksand in front of him was actually flowing, just like a river.

However, Tang San did see many small black dots moving on the edge of the quicksand. They should be Irontooth Fish.

So, the few of them quickened their pace.

When they arrived less than thirty meters away from the quicksand, Tang San could hear the sound of the quicksand flowing. It was a rustling sound, very faint. Even he, a Great Soul Master, almost couldn't hear it.

Fire Phoenix said, "This is the Quicksand River. It is rumored that there is an extremely powerful ten-thousand-year spirit beast sleeping deep underground in the Infinite Desert. Every time it breathes, it causes the quicksand to flow."

"That's possible." Tang San saw that the sand in the Quicksand River was actually no different from the sand nearby, except that it was white in color. He guessed that it had just emerged from a deeper level.

In this strange world, the quicksand was caused by the breathing of a certain powerful hundred-thousand-year-old spirit beast. One breath was one cycle, so it was not impossible.

Then, Tang San began to scan the Irontooth Fish sunbathing on the edge of the quicksand. Finally, he fixed his eyes on a fifty-centimeter-long Irontooth Fish. He quietly used the Endless Grassfield, spreading the Blue Silver Grass's roots underneath it. Then, he suddenly grew leaves, tying up the Irontooth Fish and sending it to Guangling's side.

However, a five-hundred-year-old Irontooth Fish was like a fish out of water after leaving the sand. No matter how hard it struggled, it was useless.

Tang San said, "Kill it. This is your first spirit ring, five hundred years. Although you have eaten a lot of whale glue, each piece is only the size of a fingernail. It's better to be safe."

"Mm."

Guangling took out a dagger from her storage bracer and stabbed it into the Irontooth Fish's eye. With a forceful stir, she destroyed the Irontooth Fish's already small brain.

Seeing a yellow spirit ring rise, Guangling sat down cross-legged, circulated the Mysterious Heaven Skill cultivation method that Tang San had taught her, and drew the spirit ring over, placing it on her martial soul, the Iron Bow.

Compared to the scenes Tang San had seen before when Si Si and Wang Sheng absorbed spirit rings, Guangling only frowned at the beginning before calming down and absorbing it quietly.

In less than an hour, Guangling had finished absorbing it and was overjoyed.

Releasing her martial soul, the Iron Bow was wrapped with crimson patterns. The grip of the bow was slightly concave, and the protrusions at both ends became sharp. The overall appearance looked like a strange double-edged sword.

Obviously, Guangling's martial soul was affected by the Irontooth Fish's two horizontally growing iron teeth, truly possessing the ability to fight in close combat.

However, this was only a change in the form of her martial soul. Her true spirit ability was still unknown, but Tang San guessed that it must have given the Iron Bow a metallic aura.

"San Ge, look."

Guangling pulled the bowstring, and her spirit ability condensed a sharp arrow. Unlike before she had obtained the spirit ring, a silver light appeared at the tip of the arrow, carrying a hint of sharpness.

Tang San had already determined that its penetrating power was definitely stronger than before.

More importantly, this was only Guangling using her spirit power to condense it. She herself had not used her first spirit ability.

Then, the first spirit ring shone, and the blade on the bow flowed with a crimson light, condensing into two energy-like curved blades, which were attached to the condensed spirit power arrow.

Whoosh!

Guangling released the bowstring, and the sharp arrow shot out. In the blink of an eye, it flew over sixty meters. Moreover, the two sharp blades on it were extremely sharp, cutting the ten person-thick prickly pear cactuses by the Quicksand River in half.

"A ranged output-type spirit ability. Moreover, those two energy-like sharp blades are extremely sharp. Although I haven't tested them specifically, they should be able to break through the defense of a Soul Master, as long as that Soul Master is not a defense-type." Tang San analyzed it simply and then commented, "Can you only use this spirit ability after you condense an arrow?"

"No."

Guangling shook her head and pulled the bowstring again. This time, she did not use her spirit power to condense an arrow. Instead, she directly used her spirit ability.

This time, the spirit ability only condensed two energy-like sharp blades. The range was still around sixty meters, but the power was much weaker. It only cut through five prickly pear cactuses that were about the same diameter as a human head, which was almost half. However, it was still much stronger than an ordinary century-old spirit ability.

Tang San did not care much about this. He was more concerned about the changes that the Irontooth Fish's spirit ring had brought to the Iron Bow's form, allowing it to not only be used as a bow but also as a close-combat weapon.

This was the biggest gain.

"What is your first spirit ability called?" Tang San asked.

"Vermilion Gold Aura."

Guangling thought for a while and came up with this name. "This spirit ring has strengthened my martial soul, and my spirit power has the sharp characteristics of the Irontooth Fish. When I use my spirit ability, the two sharp blades are red. More importantly, every time I use my spirit ability, the red patterns on my martial soul will flow, as if it can absorb some strange energy from the air to strengthen it. Moreover, it is a permanent strengthening... Although the feedback I get is very, very low, I know that it is real."

Tang San smiled.

He knew that Guangling's martial soul had inherited the Irontooth Fish's ability to absorb metal and evolve. When it was attached to her martial soul, it could absorb the elements between heaven and earth. Although the effect was extremely weak, and it could only absorb the corresponding metal-attribute energy, it already had the possibility of allowing her martial soul to continuously evolve.

"Not bad, Vermilion Gold Aura, a spirit ability that can benefit you for life and even has the chance to catch up to those high-quality weapon martial souls." Tang San praised, "In that case, your martial soul should also be given a new name. It shall be called the Sun-Chasing Bow. I hope that the arrows shot from your martial soul can chase the sun and surpass it."

"The Sun-Chasing Bow?" Guangling held her martial soul, and her heart became firm. She said, "Alright, I'll listen to Third Brother. It shall be called the Sun-Chasing Bow."
