"Damn it!"

At this moment, the faces of the red-haired man and his companions were extremely ugly.

To think that with so many of them present, that person could still snatch the Cloud Dragon Golden Dates and escape.

It was simply a humiliating disgrace.

On the other side.

After shaking off those pursuers, Ji Haoyuan did not stop but changed direction and flew towards another location.

Just now, the reason he did not entangle with those people too much.

He didn't want to waste time.

It's not easy to come to the Thousand Streams Secret Realm once.

If possible, he didn't want to spend too much energy fighting with others.

With that time, he might as well search several more places.

Perhaps he could discover a second Core Formation spiritual object, or traces of the Jade Fruit.

Beside a river that shimmered with faint spirit light.

The beautiful female cultivator in a pink dress, whom Ji Haoyuan had seen earlier, was now pale-faced, swallowing a pill.

After a short while.

Her pale face slightly improved.

Then she took something from the Storage Bag and threw it into the river in front of her.

The originally calm river surface suddenly began to ripple.

Immediately after, there seemed to be some strange fluctuation emanating from the river, creating a connection with the item she held, which began to glow faintly in her hand.

Ji Haoyuan, who was searching everywhere for opportunities in this area, suddenly sensed a trace of anomaly from below in the air.

This made his heart skip a beat.

In the next moment, he disappeared in the air.

When he reappeared, he was beside that river.

With almost one glance, he saw the beautiful female cultivator he had seen before.

At this moment, however, he directly overlooked her stunning appearance and focused his attention on the object in her hand that was glowing faintly.

What is that?

Ji Haoyuan's eyes flickered suddenly.

He had already recognized what the item in the other's hand was.

If he wasn't mistaken, the item currently in the woman's hand should be a key to unlocking the restriction here.

Because he could feel a special surge of spiritual energy rising from the river.

It wouldn't be long before a certain opportunity in the river would truly manifest.

"You..."

The beautiful female cultivator obviously had not expected her actions earlier would draw Ji Haoyuan here.

This immediately made a trace of vigilance appear on her face.

But Ji Haoyuan ignored her reaction and turned to the river, suddenly speaking slowly:

"If I'm not mistaken, with just your current strength, you probably can't handle the dangers inside, right?"

Before the beautiful female cultivator could reply, Ji Haoyuan continued on his own:

"Why don't we make a deal?"

The vigilance on the beautiful female cultivator's face remained unchanged, but she didn't deny Ji Haoyuan's words, instead asking:

"What kind of deal do you want to make with me?"

"It's simple."

Ji Haoyuan smiled faintly.

"I will handle the potential dangers inside later.

If necessary, I can even protect you."

"What do you want in return?"

The beautiful female cultivator didn't think Ji Haoyuan was the kind of person who would show great kindness for no reason.

She had realized this from their first encounter.

Upon hearing this, Ji Haoyuan was straightforward and said directly:

"I want the first pick of the treasures inside.

In other words, whatever we find inside must be offered for my selection first.

What do you think?"

Upon hearing Ji Haoyuan's words, the beautiful female cultivator visibly relaxed.

Fortunately.

He did not make any excessive demands.

Letting him have the first pick of the treasures didn't bother her.

What truly worried her was whether he would keep his word.

Lest when they both entered that place, he would not only break the agreement, but also have some other improper thoughts.

That would be truly troublesome.

But the beautiful female cultivator also understood that at this point, she had no better options.

Especially concerning Ji Haoyuan.

She had nothing that could bind him.

But abandoning this opportunity was even more impossible for her.

She could only grit her teeth and say:

"Fine, I agree to your terms, but make sure you keep your word."

This time Ji Haoyuan didn't respond verbally, just smiled faintly.

The other clearly seemed like a cultivator without much sense of security.

It was unclear how she cultivated to her current level with such a mindset.

For someone like that, Ji Haoyuan knew that no words would be as effective as proving himself through actions.

At the moment, the two of them looked towards the river in front of them.

Unbeknownst to them, the outline faintly resembling a Water Mansion was already emerging on the river surface.

Ji Haoyuan knew that this should be the opportunity he had encountered this time.

Without hesitation.

He quickly threw out several Array Flags, placing them in a radius of several miles around.

This immediately changed the beautiful female cultivator's expression.

"What are you doing?"

Ji Haoyuan didn't answer.

But soon, the beautiful female cultivator noticed that the various anomalies in their vicinity were quickly obscured as Ji Haoyuan threw out those Array Flags.

It was only then that Ji Haoyuan's voice drifted over.

"Let's go. The layer of prohibition I added can temporarily conceal the anomalies here.

But given the situation here, it's obviously impossible to keep it hidden indefinitely.

Let's just hope we won't be discovered before we come out."

While speaking, he glanced at the beautiful female cultivator beside him.

The beautiful female cultivator obviously knew that she had misunderstood Ji Haoyuan earlier.

At that moment, she did not hesitate anymore and conjured a jade token-like item from her hand.

She placed it on the river.

Instantly, runes glowed on the jade token, establishing a link with the Water Mansion beneath the river.

The next moment.

With a splash.

A layer of restriction opened with a crash.

The unclear contours of the Water Mansion in the river now became extremely distinct.

Seeing this, Ji Haoyuan and the beautiful female cultivator no longer hesitated, their figures flickering as they headed into the Water Mansion.

Splash—

It was as if they passed through a membrane.

Their view suddenly widened.

Ji Haoyuan felt surrounded by dots of spirit light.

With a casual glance.

He saw many rare materials and spirit medicines around him.

In an instant, Ji Haoyuan's expression changed.

For he realized that surrounding him and the beautiful female cultivator, there were several third-tier spirit medicines.

Water Profound Ganoderma, Celestial Mist Grass, Jade Wood and Cyan Rattan...

and the Core Formation spiritual object, True Spirit Golden Bamboo!
