Miracle Farmer with Special Abilities-Chapter 725 - 0: Treasure Hunting in the Desert_1

The Sahara Desert, spanning the northern part of the African continent, stretches for 5,600 kilometers from east to west and is approximately 1,600 kilometers wide from north to south. It covers a total area of about 9,065,000 square kilometers, accounting for roughly 32% of Africa's total landmass. It is the world's largest and sunniest desert. Its extremely harsh climate makes it one of the least suitable places on Earth for life to grow. The soil of the Sahara is low in organic matter and often devoid of biological activity, though some areas do contain nitrogen-fixing bacteria.

At this very moment, Zhang Bin and his two goofball companions appeared in a relatively central part of the Sahara Desert.

A blazing sun hung brightly in the sky. The ground was an endless expanse of desert, shimmering with the color of gold. Under the intense sunlight, it almost seemed as if the sand was smoking. The very air was permeated with the scent of flames. Dunes piled up one after another, forming all kinds of bizarre shapes.

There were no signs of human life, not even a single footprint.

As they walked upon the sand, however, they left clear footprints behind them. But the moment the wind rose, the prints would immediately vanish. Even without any wind, the footprints would still disappear like phantoms within a few days.

"So majestic. It's truly beautiful," Zhang Bin exclaimed, a strange expression of wonder spreading across his face.

"Majestic, sure, but there aren't any beautiful women," one of the goofballs remarked.

"Even if there were beautiful women here, they'd be panting in the heat like dogs. How could you even do anything?" the other added.

The two of them couldn't go three sentences without veering back to the topic of women.

"We're here to hunt for treasure, not to pick up girls," Zhang Bin said irritably.

"But Sect Leader, treasure hunting is only fun with beautiful women! Shouldn't we contact Betty and the others?" Ma Rufei asked expectantly.

"Yeah, yeah! Let's go get them!" Chen Chaoyue chimed in.

If they contacted Betty, their old flames Marian and Elma would naturally come along as well, which would make the treasure-hunting journey exceptionally wonderful.

"You don't know the first thing about it," Zhang Bin said. "Contacting them is the same as contacting the Phoenix Organization. If we find the City of Gold, we'll have to share it with them. As it stands now, it's all ours."

The two goofballs tilted their heads in thought for a moment before painfully accepting Zhang Bin's decision. Still, the absence of women left them sullen and dejected.

"You two idiots, there are beauties in the desert, and plenty of them," Zhang Bin said. "When the opportunity comes, you'll be so thrilled you won't know what to do with yourselves."

"Hahaha..."

"Hehehe..."

The two goofballs immediately became extremely excited. They had absolute faith in Zhang Bin's miraculous abilities. It had been the same last time in America; he said there would be beautiful women in the forest, and there were—and they were stunning, leaving a memory the two still savored.

Zhang Bin took out a tent and had the two set it up. Then, with a mere thought, he summoned the gold-prospecting robot, Duo Duo, from his Space Ring.

"Duo Duo, begin your search for the City of Gold," Zhang Bin commanded.

"What? There's a City of Gold hidden in the desert? WAHAHA! Don't you worry, Master, I'll definitely find it. I'll drill deep beneath the sand to make sure I don't miss anything," Duo Duo said, growing excited and thumping his chest in assurance.

"Duo Duo, what are your thoughts on this desert?" Zhang Bin asked.

"Do you even need to ask, Master? This place was once a rich gold mine. It was just mined so excessively that it turned into a desert," Duo Duo explained.

"Good. Begin your survey. We'll wait for you here. If you need us to move, just contact me," Zhang Bin said.

"Yes, Master."

With that, Duo Duo rapidly sank downward, completely disappearing into the desert sand. He was gone from sight. Of course, Duo Duo had a built-in communication device to contact Tutu at any time, so Zhang Bin wasn't worried.

"Oh my god, Sect Leader, what kind of treasure is that? It can actually detect the City of Gold?"

"Sect Leader, you're so damn awesome! You keep getting more and more treasures!"

The two buffoons were green with envy.

"Less talk, more cultivation. Hehe, this time I'll be personally supervising you to make sure there's no slacking off," Zhang Bin said with a wicked grin. He then took out two Qi Canisters and sent the two of them into the tent to cultivate.

The two were utterly depressed, silently cursing their luck. This treasure hunt was shaping up to be a real chore. However, they didn't dare disobey his order and meekly went to cultivate.

Zhang Bin, meanwhile, lay down on the sand, his eyes fixed on the sun as he eagerly began to devour its light. The sunlight here was incredibly intense, making it one of the sunniest places on Earth. It was, arguably, the best place to cultivate the Light System Dao Method. Having come to such a place, there was no way Zhang Bin would let the opportunity slip by. He had to cultivate the suns in his eyes to the size of a football within a year so he could make the sun rise from the west, which was the only way to get Father Su to approve his relationship with Su Man.

Thinking of Su Man, that sexy and beautiful woman, my heart is set ablaze.

He was filled with motivation. The sunlight in the sky seemed drawn by an inexplicable force, pouring entirely into Zhang Bin's eyes and gathering within his two suns. The sky grew dim, and the scorching sunlight lost its intensity. The entire area began to cool down.

Soon, two hours passed, and Zhang Bin reached his cultivation limit. He stopped cultivating, and the two goofballs immediately pounced on him.

"Senior Brother, water, water, water!"

"We're dying of thirst!"

Their tongues were practically hanging out of their mouths.

"I didn't bring any water either," Zhang Bin said, slapping his forehead.

Of course, there was water in my Dragon Pool, but it was all seawater and not potable.

"Then let's go back!" the two of them exclaimed, suddenly excited. They were desperate to leave. This place had no women, no water, and nothing but sand—it was utterly boring.

"I have my ways of getting water," Zhang Bin said with a sly laugh. He took out a bucket and a Pine Needle, then set up a Gathering Water Array.

Soon, water began to appear in the bucket, its level slowly rising. The two goofballs' eyes widened, their faces plastered with disbelief. It was just too damn miraculous.

Zhang Bin himself, however, fell into deep thought.

In the past, I couldn't understand the principles of formations. But now, I have opened the Dragon Pool and seen the Talismans on its walls. The Talismans in the Dragon Pool have the power to generate water, which is why the water in my Dragon Pool is constantly increasing. That water truly appears out of thin air; it's a genuine feat of the Water System Dao Law. This Gathering Water Array is similar to those Talismans, but also quite different. The Talismans are more exquisite and complex, whereas the Gathering Water Array is much simpler. Perhaps this is just a simplified version of a Talisman, a result of meticulously studying the ones on the Dragon Pool's walls. After all, Xuanwu Star has an eighty-thousand-year history of cultivation, with all kinds of research having reached their peak. What would happen if I used True Qi to simulate the Talismans in the Dragon Pool?

An inspiration flashed through Zhang Bin's mind.
