Infiltrating the world of cultivation

"Hmm? Returning it to you, as if I, the king, would steal your possession?"

The black-tiger boy noticed that Wang Chao had been staring at the flashlight, and he immediately felt embarrassed. He had indeed considered asking for it, but considering his status, he naturally disdained to compete with Wang Chao.

"Then, Your Majesty, please speak your mind."

Wang Chao also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although the black tiger had a terrifying aura, its emotional intelligence seemed to be low. It was hard to say about its IQ, but after all, it was still uncivilized, so it probably wasn't very high either.

"How did you get in? Take me out."

Black Tiger's voice seemed sharp, but Wang Chao saw through it at a glance. He was just faking it. He really didn't know how Black Tiger had acquired such cultivation. His intelligence was questionable.

"Your Majesty, I'm going to search for treasure. It would take me a lot of time to guide you."

The dynasty also took advantage of the fact that the black tiger was not yet fully intelligent, and its mind began to stir.

"Treasure hunting? Why do you think a spirit mine would appear in this barren land? This area is related to an ancient powerful being of my demon race."

Black Tiger spoke very seriously when mentioning that powerful figure, clearly indicating that the figure held an extremely high position.

"You're just trying to profit from the deaths of those few cultivators. Is that enough?"

The black tiger opened its mouth, and rays of light emanated from it. Three Qiankun bags burst forth from its mouth.

Wang Chao was amazed by this supernatural power. "Wow, this is amazing! He can create a storage space inside his body. Does he think he's a gluttonous beast?"

"Enough, enough, Your Majesty. You are all-powerful. Why do you need me to lead the way? Just break through the ground directly."

This is the biggest question in the dynasty. The black tiger's cultivation is terrifyingly strong, much stronger than Zhao Yuanbao. As for just how strong it is, without a reference point, the dynasty can't make a judgment.

“This area has changed. My spiritual sense can only extend three zhang. I do have the ability to break through the ground, but that would be too ostentatious.”

The black tiger frowned slightly, clearly finding the matter quite troublesome as well.

Wang Chao wisely refrained from asking further questions and quickly changed the subject.

"Your Majesty, I wish to find a beautiful fox spirit as my Daoist partner. Could you please introduce me to one?"

In ancient myths, whenever the dynasty read about a scholar who was horrified and whose face changed instantly upon discovering that his wife, with whom he lived day and night, was actually a fox spirit, the story always evoked a sense of regret and lament.

What's wrong with monsters? After transforming into human form, they have everything they need. Look at the black tiger's transformed appearance, it's not bad at all. I imagine that fox demon must be extremely beautiful.

Black Tiger remained silent, glancing sideways at a 45-degree angle as he looked up at the mine ceiling, and muttered, "You'll be drained dry."

Upon hearing this, Wang Chao was horrified and shivered inexplicably. He muttered something to himself, and in an instant, he dismissed many of his thoughts.

Humans are still the best. Without thinking, Wang Chao thought of Nangong Qingyu. He didn't know if it was because he had been in the mine for too long and hadn't seen a woman before, or because of Nangong Qingyu's own charm.

Wang Chao felt an indescribable emotion brewing within him when he saw Nangong Qingyu.

Before I met you, I never believed in love at first sight.

"Your Majesty, this is the place."

Wang Chao led Black Tiger to the bottom of that tomb-raiding tunnel.

I went down into the mine tunnels, and the result was somewhat unexpected. Fortunately, the black tiger wasn't the kind of tiger that was bloodthirsty, so I was safe and sound.

"Go, escape, the farther the better. This place is about to undergo a major change!"

Black Tiger seemed to have become a different person, no, a different tiger. He suddenly became very cold, and his eyes were sharp and ruthless.

This is the true aura of the king of beasts. Before, with its innocent, childlike appearance, Wang Chao even doubted whether it was a cat.

call out!

Without uttering a single polite word, Wang Chao dashed out of the mine tunnel and then used his speed-enhancing technique to rush back to his residence without looking back.

He knew that staying here would only bring harm and no benefit. These three storage bags were enough. Although he hadn't seen what was inside, given that they were made by the Black Tiger, they couldn't be ordinary items.

Moreover, this black tiger is somewhat unpredictable; it will leave if it can, otherwise things might change.

Black Tiger was somewhat taken aback when he saw that Wang Chao had run away without even exchanging a polite word.

Although his cultivation level is not high, his alertness is quite good.

This black tiger has lived for over 150 years. In the demon race, this is still considered a child. Converted to the lifespan of an ordinary person, it is only about 15 years old.

Bang!

The dynasty stumbled and fell to the ground.

Having just emerged from the underground mine, Wang Chao was still somewhat unaccustomed to the surface conditions and felt a bit anemic. After resting for a while, he headed towards Zuo Qiuzhen's residence.

Boom!

Not far ahead, they saw that the surface of the abandoned mining area had collapsed over a large area, forming a sunken pit.

The entire Nanshan mining area was trembling. It was still dark and many people were still asleep.

Because of the loud noise, everyone was awake and went outside to find out what had happened.

Bang!

The protective array of the Nanshan Immortal Mine shimmered with boundless light, crackling and flashing like a great bell in the night, seemingly on the verge of collapse at any moment.

On the central mountain, the Foundation Establishment stage deacons were all shaken and flew into the sky to observe.

Even the Core Formation stage elders, who are usually elusive, appeared in the air.

The Core Formation stage elder looked solemn and used his supreme thunderous voice to calm everyone's minds.

The dynasty was rushing forward, and every piece of land beneath its feet was trembling. It was very possible that the next region to collapse would be right beneath its feet.

"Brother Wang Chao, what happened?"

When Zuoqiu Zhen saw Wang Chao rushing over from the collapsed area, he naturally guessed that Wang Chao had gone to profit from the dead.

The dynasty stored all the items in the nine-story ancient pagoda, leaving only a storage bag to conceal their whereabouts. Without having time to explain in detail, they immediately sent people to summon the miners from the No. 3 mining area.

"Brother, there's no time to say more. Something has happened at the Nanshan Immortal Mine. I'm going to the Central Highlands. I'm just here to let you know."

This protective barrier is very likely to collapse. If you want to escape this place, you'd better plan ahead!

The dynasty didn't know much about what had happened; all it knew was that this region was involved with an ancient powerful being from the demon race.

Zuo Qiuzhen was a decisive man. Without saying much, he quickly gathered everyone to make arrangements for his affairs. After packing up simply, he came to bid farewell to the dynasty.

“Brother, I am different from you. I don’t have any innate spiritual roots. I can only explore this path on my own, so I have to leave.”

The journey through life is long, but we'll meet again someday!

Zuo Qiuzhen performed a traditional Jianghu (江湖, a term referring to the martial arts world) etiquette.

See you another day!

The dynasty returned the gift.

Zuo Qiuzhen flew towards the edge of the Nanshan Spirit Mine, while Wang Chao also rushed towards the Central Mountain. After this parting, it was probably difficult to see each other again.

On this central mountain, there are powerful figures from the Qinghui Sword Sect. Go there, and you can be well protected.
