The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World

In Yellow Wind Valley, Lin Yun quickly spent seven days.

During the day, he worked in the mine as a gold miner, earning twenty Lotus Coins each day, and at night he would practice underwater, where the golden liquid inside his body had already gathered into a small lake.

The feeling of watching his cultivation level grow every day was so wonderful that Lin Yun almost forgot that he had gone underwater to look for treasures.

After staying underwater continuously for several days, the Azure Dragon Gu Worm's adaptability also grew much stronger.

In order to urge the Azure Dragon Gu Worm to work harder, Lin Yun would feed it a drop of the golden Spiritual Liquid he refined before and after it worked each time.

He felt that what was inside his body could no longer be called True Qi; considering the essence of True Qi is only the compressed and purified Spiritual Energy, and since this liquid appeared after purifying True Qi, Lin Yun named it Spiritual Liquid.

After consuming the Spiritual Liquid, the Azure Dragon Gu Worm not only worked harder but also seemed to have grown a lot.

That night, Lin Yun as usual, dived into the depths of the water. Over the past few days, he had collected enough props and also planned to explore the bottom of the lake.

"Little Green Snake, you've also worked hard for a few days. To reward your diligence, I will award you five drops of Spiritual Liquid today."

If counted by drops, the Azure Dragon Gu Worm could absorb Spiritual Energy for an hour at the bottom of the lake, and after spitting it out for purification, it could obtain fifty drops of golden Spiritual Liquid. After starting to consume the golden Spiritual Liquid, the Azure Dragon Gu Worm could work for eight hours a day, yielding four hundred drops.

After seven days had passed, Lin Yun felt embarrassed to only give it two drops of Spiritual Liquid.

With Lin Yun's promise, the Azure Dragon Gu Worm joyfully splashed around inside Lin Yun's Qi Sea.

What a good child, soaking every day in the golden Spiritual Liquid without ever stealing a taste, diligently working every day, only soaking in the Spiritual Liquid to recover its spirit after it couldn't absorb anymore, and then being full of energy the next day.

In retrospect, he should thank Green Lotus for sending such a useful tool snake.

After the Little Green Snake swam excitedly for a while, Lin Yun then said, "I hear you are most skilled in stealth. Can you also help me hide?"

Seeing the Little Green Snake nod its head, Lin Yun finally felt relieved.

Green Lotus had said that Azure Dragon Gu Worm could be used as a life-saving means, and now it could come in handy.

Exploring underwater, Lin Yun was both nervous and excited. He took out a Luminous Stone from his bosom, and with that one stone, he lit up the area around him within two meters.

Although visibility was still low, it was better than the pitch darkness before.

The Luminous Stone was the most abundant mineral in the Land of Death, formed from absorbing the essence of the sun, and a material for Artifact Refining, having some restraining effect on evil spirits.

Lin Yun had mined a few in the minefield and took them out without anyone minding.

Luminous Stones were not valuable because cultivators from both the Righteous and Demonic paths were not afraid of evil spirits, making Luminous Stones seem very mediocre.

Lin Yun used them for illumination. He only carried five stones, holding one in hand, throwing another ahead to scout the path, while keeping the remaining three as spares.

By throwing and picking them up one by one, Lin Yun's exploration progressed very slowly.

But caution is the parent of safety. I have a great future ahead, and I can't afford to gamble my life for just one opportunity.

Taking lessons from before, Lin Yun also silently kept track of the time in his heart.

His mind was highly alert, cautiously guarding against any potential danger. Finally, something different appeared within the area lit by the Luminous Stone Lin Yun had thrown.

He saw something resembling a ritual altar.

"Xiao Qing, help me hide."

The Little Green Snake that had been resting and playing in the water heard the command and started to coil inside Lin Yun's body. Gradually, Lin Yun felt that he was no longer a person, but a part of the water at the bottom of the lake.

Is this the effect of the stealth? It's very impressive.

Lin Yun sneaked over covertly to the altar, which suddenly lit up with a pale blue glow. At the center of the altar was a white column of light, and within it, a blue sphere hovered, slowly rotating.

This bead must be the Water-attribute Spiritual Treasure.

Originally, Lin Yun thought of simply taking the bead with him, but looking at the altar, he felt that the treasure should not be moved.

Isn't it common in novels and TV dramas? There is always a sealed area where a few fools go and remove the most important sealing item, then disaster ensues.

Lin Yun didn't want to do something that foolish.

Although the treasure was tempting, as Dongfang Hongyue had said, if others couldn't take it, it might as well stay there.

Still, since Lin Yun had come, he wanted to research it a bit.

After making sure there were no other creatures around, Lin Yun raised his Luminous Stone to look around. Three meters from the altar, Lin Yun found a stone stele.

Having an instruction manual is somewhat reassuring.

[Five Spirits Suppressing Evil · Mysterious Water]

[The God said**, the Water Spirit Ancestor, mother of the common people.]

[When heaven and earth decline, evil deeds surge, return to the source with the body, expel demons and suppress evil.]

Lin Yun: "..."

What on earth is written on this stele?

Using his knowledge from his previous life as a student in the humanities, Lin Yun tried to translate it. It seemed there was a god called the Water God, very powerful, but Lin Yun felt that although there were characters on the stele where the Water God's name should be, he couldn't make them out.

He didn't force himself to see what wasn't clear. If he couldn't see something, he chose not to look.

Lin Yun had no problem understanding the first four sentences, but the next four were rather abrupt and confusing.

But seeing the words 'suppress evil' appearing twice, Lin Yun felt that the bead was likely a significant sealing item.

Well, he decided to consider this visit as an opportunity to widen his horizons. Although the treasure was indeed alluring, Lin Yun resisted the temptation and slipped away.

Lin Yun walked away without looking back, as if he had just come to take a quick look.

After Lin Yun left, a long sigh suddenly echoed over the empty heart of the lake. Then, the light emanating from the altar went out, the bead slowly sank into the altar, and the stele gradually disappeared...

After Lin Yun left, he didn't regret missing an important opportunity, even though he felt that the bead was definitely a fine treasure.

"First take note, and when I'm invincible, I'll come back and get it."

Lin Yun found a place that gave him a sense of security and began to cultivate again.

Having come all this way, he had to do something; otherwise, he'd have wasted his night.

The Azure Dragon Gu Worm started to work again.

Meanwhile, on the shore, someone was waiting for Lin Yun.

"Valley Master, this Lin Yun dives into the water every day, staying there for half a night; he must have a secret on him."

The person waiting for Lin Yun was none other than the Valley Master of Yellow Wind Valley, Hongling.

Although it seemed that the newcomers weren't being watched, Hongling had always been covertly keeping an eye out, noting down anyone acting strangely in her little notebook.

Among them, Lin Yun was the one she paid the most attention to, and her subordinates reported on Lin Yun's activities daily.

Others knew how to be discreet, but Lin Yun dived into the water every day, as if he was afraid others wouldn't know he was undercover.

As a result, Hongling couldn't even turn a blind eye; she had to close both eyes.

Tonight, she had to show Lin Yun some color!
