Infiltrating the world of cultivation

On the vast lake, a storm was brewing.

Little Grey was stuffed into the nine-story ancient pagoda by Wang Chao. It can be said that Wang Chao, who had used seventy-two transformations, was fearless and was not discovered by anyone.

Aside from a few exceptionally gifted individuals, ordinary people simply have no way of discovering him.

After all, the Seventy-Two Transformations is already at the level of supernatural powers. Sun Wukong was able to turn misfortune into good fortune all the way west, which naturally shows its power.

Attack power is secondary; the most important thing is its stealth capabilities.

As time went by, the lake was teeming with people. Long Qi used his Seventy-Two Transformations to change his appearance.

He was a young man with a kind and honest appearance, the kind of features that would make him stand out in a crowd.

The dynasty had been wandering on the outskirts, and he had tried to follow the markings on the map toward the inner perimeter.

However, he hadn't gone far when he turned back. This map seller was too unreliable; the discrepancies were far too great.

The dynasty had no choice but to withdraw again.

Although the map inside is significantly different, the map around the outside is not much different.

On the calm lake, Wang Chao rode on his sword. In order not to attract attention, Wang Chao used an ordinary flying sword.

"Yan!"

A large fish leaped from the calm water and soared towards the dynasty.

It opened its gaping maw, revealing a dense array of sharp teeth.

No one would doubt that if bitten by this big fish and taken to the first floor, they would definitely end up with missing limbs.

Wang Chao's gaze sharpened; this giant fish possessed the cultivation of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage!

This is only the outer perimeter. One of the big fish already has the cultivation level of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. If we go any further in, wouldn't it be even more terrifying?

It's important to understand that this isn't the Pit Dragon Ruins, where the cultivation levels of all creatures have been suppressed to below the Core Formation stage.

Within the Great Lake, a Core Formation is a Core Formation, and a Nascent Soul is a Nascent Soul!

These things cannot be faked!

Wang Chao made up his mind that he must not go alone. He had to find a team to go with him. If he went in alone without knowing the way, he would probably face a life-or-death crisis. In that case, there would be no one to save him.

"Oh!"

As expected, the big fish was decapitated in an instant!

Blood spurted from the fish's body, a large handful of blood staining the water red.

Moments later, the blood dissipated, and the lake returned to its clear state.

Seeing this, Wang Chao was somewhat amazed. Perhaps this lake was not so simple after all.

The fact that the lake's water could dissolve the blood of an extraordinary demon beast with Foundation Establishment cultivation so quickly on the lake's surface suggests that the lake itself is quite remarkable.

No wonder so many people believe that this lake was left behind after Guanyin's jade bottle was overturned; this alone is hard to explain.

In Wang Chao's hand, he held a short sword, on which the large fish in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage was skewered like a candied hawthorn.

On a quiet island in the outer reaches, Wang Chao sat cross-legged, with many spirit trees felled before him.

"Fireball!"

Wang Chao cast a fireball spell, igniting the spirit wood, and the small flames slowly burned.

Wang Chao used his flying sword to carve two frames, and then he carved a stick to set up the barbecue grill.

Use a flying sword to gut the large fish in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, and then wash it with magical lake water.

The bones of this large fish were extremely hard, and Wang Chao could easily identify them, but he did not remove them.

Because after grilling, the bone oil inside the fish bones will seep into the fish meat, which is the best seasoning.

Dynasty put a lot of spices and chili powder inside the big fish.

This was a variety he later rediscovered and placed in the nine-story pagoda to accelerate its growth.

The flavor of this chili pepper is absolutely potent. Even someone with his late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation would be brought to tears if he ate too much of it.

Crack!

The campfire burned, turning the large fish bright red, and a golden light emanated from its grilled body.

Gradually, the entire grilled fish turned golden yellow, and its tender aroma made Wang Chao extremely fond of it.

Wang Chao then evenly sprinkled some chili powder on the fish. Looking at the fragrant grilled fish, Wang Chao's mouth watered.

"I've got my eye on this grilled fish!"

Suddenly, a figure appeared behind Wang Chao, startling him as he was grilling fish.

Because he had absolutely no idea when this woman had appeared!

When Wang Chao turned around and saw the woman's appearance, he was shocked. It was Nangong Qingyu!

Is Nangong Qingyu sure she'll appear here?!

Wang Chao's mouth dropped open in shock. He hadn't expected Nangong Qingyu to appear here; it was such a surprise!

Previously, the Corpse Demon Drought King told him that Yu Ji, also known as Nangong Qingyu, was imprisoned on the back mountain of Ghost King Valley!

But now, Nangong Qingyu has appeared here!

"What are you looking at? Hurry up and grill the fish for me!"

"If you bake it well, you'll be richly rewarded; but if you fail, you'll regret it!"

This is not Nangong Qingyu!

Wang Chao snapped back to reality. Although this woman looked almost exactly like Nangong Qingyu, her inner qualities were something that could not be imitated.

Wang Chao noticed that this woman, who looked almost exactly like Nangong Qingyu, was dressed rather strangely.

She was barefoot, with a string of silver bells hanging from her ankles, and her fiery red dress accentuated her graceful figure perfectly.

Wang Chao couldn't help but take a second look, but the next second, his gaze suddenly sharpened!

Because this woman is a demonic cultivator!

Moreover, it possesses the cultivation level of the early stage of Core Formation!

Although this demonic cultivator was only at the early stage of Core Formation, Wang Chao was not relaxed at all, because judging from her aura, she was not a typical Core Formation cultivator.

His cultivation level is at least enough to rival a late-stage Core Formation cultivator.

Wang Chao could tell that the other party was on the same level as the Six Immortals of the Righteous Path.

After reviewing this information, the identity of this demonic cultivator became self-evident!

She is Yu Chang, one of the Five Demon Children, a demon girl from Ghost King Valley!

In other words, this person is Nangong Qingyu's older sister!

Wang Chao knew that Nangong Qingyu had an older sister, but he never expected that she would look exactly like Nangong Qingyu.

Wang Chao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was going on. He ignored Yu Chang and continued grilling by himself.

Before long, the grilled fish was ready.

Wang Chao did not eat; instead, he extinguished the fire and turned to leave.

What remains are the ruins of a barbecue, still emitting wisps of smoke, and the fragrant grilled fish.
