A short while later.
Following the map in his memory, the Dark-Silver Flying Boat came to a stop above a spirit river.
Spiritual qi continuously rose from the spirit river, condensing into mist and lending it an ethereal, immortal air.
More than a hundred cave abodes lined both banks of the spirit river, though the farther they stood from the river, the poorer their spiritual qi environment became.
Only the few dozen cave abodes close to the river possessed third-tier spiritual qi environments. Those dozens of miles away fell below the third tier.
The cave abode Li Ping had rented happened to stand close to the spirit river.
The twenty-mu compound contained dozens of buildings, along with a ten-mu courtyard.
After entering the cave abode, the first thing he did was set up a formation. Within the abode's existing formation, he laid down another Third-Tier Formation to prevent probing by divine sense.
With this formation in place, he could block all divine sense probing at the Core Formation level and below.
Even probing by Nascent Soul-level divine sense would trigger the formation, ensuring he would not remain oblivious.
Only after finishing all this did he nod in satisfaction, release all his spirit beasts, and leave them in Meng Wanjun's care.
He himself entered the residence at the very center, sat cross-legged, and considered his next arrangements.
First came his main purpose in visiting Great Zhou: finding golden dawn dew, eight-treasure spirit spring water, and supreme yang wood, the three spirit materials he needed to reach third-tier body refinement.
By a stroke of luck, he had already obtained the eight-treasure spirit spring water. That left golden dawn dew and supreme yang wood.
Even in Great Zhou, however, these two spirit materials were not commonly seen. He would not find them overnight,
