The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World

The night in Yellow Wind Valley was beautiful, with a bright moon reflected in Holy Spring Lake, and a thin mist over the lake's surface, making it seem like a fairyland.

Lin Yun found a spot by the lake to sit down and meditate, commanding the Azure Dragon Gu Worm to devour the spiritual energy.

The Water Spirit Qi here was exceptionally abundant, so the efficiency of the Azure Dragon Gu Worm devouring spiritual energy was much higher.

While Lin Yun was engrossed in his cultivation, Wang Wanqiu had already roamed the entire Yellow Wind Valley.

With her Divine Cultivation Realm, she was one of the top masters in this small place. As long as she was careful, no one would notice her.

After a round of roaming, Wang Wanqiu had gained a certain understanding of Yellow Wind Valley.

It was a secluded small city, where the inhabitants were cut off from the outside world.

Most people lived on farming or mining.

Apart from the subordinates of the Red Lotus Sect, there were other practitioners, some of whom would be chosen by Hongling to join the Guard Brigade.

The Guard Brigade would patrol around Yellow Wind Valley every seven days to investigate the nearby situation.

Wang Wanqiu thought this might be her chance, as long as she could leave the valley and reach the outside world, she would be able to send a message out.

However, she had no clues about the treasure she wanted to find.

Yellow Wind Valley was not that big, and she didn't see any special places.

If there really was a treasure, it could only be in the mines to the west.

But the mines were somewhere she couldn't approach for now. If she could join the Guard Brigade, perhaps she would have a chance.

Wang Wanqiu felt somewhat disappointed in her heart. If it was just a mine, it wouldn't be worth making a big fuss over.

As she strolled by the lake, Lin Yun just happened to finish a round of cultivation.

The Azure Dragon Gu Worm was tired and needed to rest for a while. It's all about balancing work and rest!

He wasn't some unscrupulous boss who would exploit Xiao Qing, the child laborer.

When Wang Wanqiu saw Lin Yun, she curiously asked, "Are you also here to investigate?"

Lin Yun nodded.

Since he was temporarily pretending to be with Wang Wanqiu, he had to look busy. It wouldn't be good if she knew he was slacking the whole time.

Wang Wanqiu shared her findings with Lin Yun, and then asked him, "What have you discovered?"

Ah, I've been slacking off...

Lin Yun's eyes darted around, thinking of how to fool Wang Wanqiu. Suddenly, looking at the misty water surface, he had a flash of inspiration and said, "I've discovered that Holy Spring Lake is very mysterious. Do you think the treasure of the Red Lotus Demon Lord could be hidden beneath it?"

Lin Yun was just talking nonsense, but Wang Wanqiu's eyes lit up with joy, "Right, how did I not think of that? Every other place has been explored, but not here. The water even blocks Divine Sense. There must be something tricky about this."

Lin Yun was speechless.

If you're happy, then fine, I was just saying something off the cuff.

"You keep watch for me on shore while I go under and investigate."

Wang Wanqiu used her Divine Sense to scan the surroundings. No one was paying special attention to this place, and there were some other cultivators near Holy Spring Lake, but none who could project Divine Sense. As long as she found a darker spot to enter the water, no one would notice.

Lin Yun nodded, and they found a spot where the light was blocked, surrounded by some short bushes for cover.

Wang Wanqiu took off her shoes and carefully entered the water, quickly submerging below, and faint ripples appeared on the lake surface, which then returned to calmness.

Lin Yun meditated on the shore. After roughly half an hour, Wang Wanqiu emerged from the water and clambered onto the shore.

By then, she was drenched, her clothes clinging to her body, revealing her graceful figure to Lin Yun's eyes.

However, that was but a fleeting moment, and Wang Wanqiu quickly gathered the water on her body into a ball and casually tossed it aside, her clothing restored to its original state.

At this time, her face was solemn, while Lin Yun could feel that the Azure Dragon Gu Worm seemed a bit excited.

It conveyed to Lin Yun a feeling of hunger, as if it had detected a delicious scent on Wang Wanqiu.

He hadn't felt this before, which meant there was something underwater that attracted the Azure Dragon Gu Worm.

Could it be that the place below is indeed where Dongfang Hongyue hid her treasures?

"How is it?"

Lin Yun asked.

Wang Wanqiu shook her head seriously and said, "Holy Spring Lake may not look very big, but it's bottomless. Moreover, the deeper one goes, the denser the Water Spirit Qi becomes. It looks like there's definitely something hidden below. Even if it's not the Red Lotus Demon Lord's treasure trove, it must be some extraordinary spiritual object."

Lin Yun nodded, thinking to himself that it must be due to the thick Water Spirit Qi; no wonder the Azure Dragon Gu Worm reacted, for it liked both water and wood spirit energies.

"So what should we do?"

"Wait,"

said Wang Wanqiu indifferently. "We'll wait until there is no one around. I'll go down again later. I didn't use any spells just now for fear of making too much noise. We'll sneak down when it gets dark."

"Hmm."

"Let's go back first. I'll call you tonight during the hour of the ox."

Wang Wanqiu put on her shoes and headed back to the inn first.

This inn was specially prepared for those newly arrived in Yellow Wind Valley, who, being new, had nowhere to stay and thus had to stay at the inn at the cost of three Lotus Coins per day.

Lin Yun then returned to his own room and took out the whistle that Dongfang Hongyue had given him.

Initially, she had said that if he blew the whistle, Dongfang Hongyue would appear. Lin Yun silently named the item 'Dog Whistle' and then gave it a try.

He didn't blow hard, just a gentle puff, and a flame drifted out of the whistle. Then, within that flame, the image of Dongfang Hongyue appeared.

"Just one day and you already have information?"

"Hmm, a bit. I've found something strange about Holy Spring Lake. Is there some treasure down there?"

"You used the whistle just to ask this?"

"Uh, not exactly, I just wanted to test the effectiveness of this whistle."

Dongfang Hongyue: "..."

If she were in front of this guy, she would definitely give him a good beating.

Even with the use of a magical treasure, transmitting one's voice over a thousand miles was considerably draining, not to mention she did more than just transmit her voice.

"Forget it, since you're curious, I'll tell you. There is definitely a treasure in Holy Spring Lake, it should be a water-attribute spiritual treasure. But even I can't reach the bottom of the lake. Your curiosity is futile."

"No way, you can't get down there with your abilities?"

Lin Yun obviously didn't believe her, which Dongfang Hongyue rather liked, and she then explained, "Water overcomes fire, the Water Spirit Qi is too dense at the bottom of Holy Spring Lake, which also suppresses me. Unless I remove my restraints and dry up the water, I might destroy such a fine secret realm. Anyway, since it's a water-type spiritual treasure, it's of no use to me.

You're welcome to try for it. If you manage to take the treasure away, consider it a gift from me.

But let me warn you, to take this spiritual treasure, you would need at least the same level of cultivation as I have, and also it should be of the water attribute. Among both the Human and Demon Races, the only one who meets these two conditions is the White Sea Dragon Demon King.

But as a member of the Demon Tribe, the White Sea Dragon wouldn't likely come to our side, right?"

At that moment, in White Tiger City, a woman dressed in white sneezed.

"Who's talking about me again? Or could it be that I'm not acclimated to the water and soil here?"
