Infiltrating the world of cultivation

"Crack!"

The sound of a campfire exploding rang in Wang Chao's ears, and he opened his eyes.

The red flames reflected in the golden pupils.

This is a cave, and the light at the entrance is dim, so it must be nighttime.

Wang Chao's gaze remained calm as he watched Nangong Qingyu.

"I……"

Nangong Qingyu spoke, seemingly wanting to say something.

"I know."

Wang Chao interrupted Nangong Qingyu.

"you know?"

Nangong Qingyu was surprised. She hadn't said anything, so what did the dynasty know?

"Yes, everyone has their own secrets. If you like someone, you don't need to pry into their secrets and cause them trouble."

On the Ten Directions Arena, when Wang Chao used his Fiery Eyes of Truth on Nangong Qingyu, he had already discovered her identity as a demonic cultivator.

Wang Chao didn't mind; everyone has secrets, just like he could never tell anyone that he came from Earth.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have hidden it from you. Actually, I'm a demonic cultivator."

Nangong Qingyu decided to tell Wang Chao the truth. Her eyes calmly gazed at Wang Chao, afraid that he would leave her!

After all, good and evil have been irreconcilable since ancient times, and those who follow the righteous path take the concept of sectarianism very seriously.

"Oh."

Wang Chao's tone was very calm. If it were a cultivator who had grown up locally, they would definitely be very sensitive to the words "demonic path".

But the dynasty was educated on Earth. How could someone who would scold Fahai for not understanding love when he saw him separating Bai Suzhen and Bai Suzhen care about the righteous path or the demonic path?

Moreover, even in the righteous path, there are those who appear virtuous, and in the demonic path, there are those who are genuinely kind. One cannot generalize from a single instance.

Why aren't you responding?

Nangong Qingyu's mouth gaped slightly. Wang Chao's reaction was far too calm. Shouldn't he at least show some surprise? If she had known Wang Chao would be so indifferent, she would have told him sooner.

"What other reaction could I have? Should I say, 'Ah, how come you're a demonic cultivator? Why did you hide this from me? Good and evil have always been irreconcilable, we can't be together,' or something like that?"

"Why give up a perfectly beautiful woman to believe this bullshit?"

Wang Chao rolled his eyes. He disdained doing things that were full of empty talk about benevolence and morality.

"You're so annoying! Still so unreliable!"

Nangong Qingyu gently punched Wang Chao's chest.

"Cough cough!"

Wang Chao coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Are you OK?"

Nangong Qingyu was startled and looked somewhat nervous.

"It's nothing, it's just blood stasis, I'll cough it up and it'll be fine. Huh? How did I get to the ninth stage of Qi Refining?"

Wang Chao was shocked to discover that his body had actually reached the ninth stage of Qi Refining!

It should be noted that before this, his cultivation level was only at the seventh stage of Qi Refining, so this was an improvement of two stages.

"When Uncle Li was helping you regulate your body, he also helped you lay a solid foundation. Your body is quite strange. The earth spirit mushroom he gave you is enough for an ordinary person to reach the twelfth stage of Qi Refining."

"You're doing well, you only advanced to the ninth stage of Qi Refining. Fortunately, Uncle Li helped solidify your earth-elemental foundation."

Nangong Qingyu also didn't quite understand the dynasty's constitution. These five elemental spiritual roots were indeed a huge drain on resources; no one could afford to raise them.

"Uncle Li? Who is Uncle Li?"

The dynasty was puzzled: where did these other people come from?

"Cough cough."

A soft cough came from above Wang Chao's head, startling him.

This was a cave. When Wang Chao awoke, he scanned it with his spiritual sense and found no one else there.

Clearly, this Uncle Li is far superior to him.

"Is this not the Qinghui Sword Sect?"

Wang Chao suddenly realized something, as if he had discovered something incredible, and his eyes widened.

"Yeah, I think that peak master wanted to kill you, so he brought you out. I'm afraid you're wanted by the authorities now."

Nangong Qingyu was somewhat afraid to look at the dynasty.

"It's nothing. I went to the Qinghui Sword Sect just to learn about the system. It's good that I'm out here, so I won't be restricted. It's just a pity about all those chili peppers and vegetables."

Wang Chao truly had a deep affection for chili powder, it was just a pity that he didn't take it with him when he left.

Adding a little bit while grilling meat is simply the pinnacle of life.

"What are the arrangements next?"

Wang Chao spoke up, wanting to hear Nangong Qingyu's opinion.

Have you ever heard of Ghost King Valley?

Nangong Qingyu retorted by asking the dynasty a question.

"Tell me."

Aside from the Qinghui Sword Sect and the Northern Region Saber Sect, he knew nothing else.

"Qinghui Sword Sect is one of the six major sects of the righteous path, while Ghost King Valley is one of the five major sects of the demonic path."

And I am Yu Ji, the youngest daughter of the Ghost King.

Nangong Qingyu said slowly, "I thought the dynasty would be shocked beyond measure, but the dynasty didn't react at all."

Even Uncle Li was somewhat surprised by the dynasty's indifference.

Wang Chao was indeed very calm. He had experienced the information explosion era and was a person who had been through it all, so he had the ability to withstand it.

It's like your girlfriend telling you that he's the daughter of a high-ranking official—you're a little surprised, but not too much of an exaggeration.

"Did you sneak out to play, and then Uncle Li came to pick you up and take you home?"

Seeing the situation before him, Wang Chao had already guessed the outcome with a high degree of accuracy.

"Yes, actually I'm very obedient and well-behaved. I usually don't run around."

Nangong Qingyu blushed slightly, afraid that Wang Chao might misunderstand her, and quietly explained.

"Then you should go back with Uncle Li. It's too dangerous outside."

After a moment of contemplation, the dynasty spoke slowly.

“Alright, let’s go back together. Our Ghost King Valley has a lot of resources. You have five elemental roots, which consumes a lot of resources. This will help you build your foundation.”

Nangong Qingyu opened her eyes wide and calmly gazed at Wang Chao. When she uttered these words, she already had the answer in her heart.

"If I go, I'll only cause you trouble. I'll come to Ghost King Valley to find you within ten years. If I don't come, then you..."

Before Wang Chao could finish speaking, his words were sealed by Nangong Qingyu's fragrant lips.

Uncle Li, carrying Little White in his left hand and Little Gray in his right, disappeared into the cave in an instant.

"Buzz!"

A barrier enveloped the cave, instantly silencing the wind at the entrance, and the entire world fell silent at that moment.

"call!"

The campfire inside the cave went out instantly, plunging the world into darkness.

"You're pressing on my hair."

"I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention."

"You're out."

"what?"

"Not there."

"what!"

Silent all night.

The next day, just as dawn was breaking.

Wang Chao stood up, and Nangong Qingyu, with Xiaobai in tow, had already left.

In fact, Wang Chao had already awakened when Nangong Qingyu made her move. However, the scene of parting was too sad, so it was better not to see her off.

"roar~"

Little Grey seemed to sense something and let out a whimpering sound.
