Saturday afternoon.
After taking Geng Lu home, Jiang Ning rode to Xuehua Lake. He cycled along the lakeside road, where the vast lake stretched out before him like an enormous sapphire.
This was the second cultivation site he planned to transform.
Xuehua Lake covered a vast area, nestled among three mountains. It was one of the nation's ten largest urban lakes, even larger than West Lake in Lin'an.

The future urban development of all Yuzhou had even been forced to change course, expanding southward ahead of schedule.
After inspecting his territory and temporarily deciding on the location of the formation's core by the lake, he rode away.
