"Do you know of any Evil Cultivators, Demonic Cultivators, or demon cultivators we can target?" Jiang Hao asked Chi Mei and Sha Xin the Monk.
Chi Mei smiled. "Master, ten thousand li from here lies the Southern Domain Poisonous Swamp. A few creatures live there—ghostly monsters that cultivated into spirits and call themselves Chi Mei Wang Liang. They are all First-Tribulation Loose Immortals and should be useful."

"Let's go take a look at the Southern Domain Poisonous Swamp first," Jiang Hao said.
