Lotus Lake
Several months later.
Fang Yu sat at the tea table in the courtyard and slowly finished the spiritual tea in his cup.
His aura and appearance gradually changed, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a middle-aged man with a square face.
He then connected with the ' Yuanchen Pearl ', and his figure disappeared the next moment, reappearing already inside the ' Azure Lotus Secret Realm '.
His Divine Sense fluctuated as he probed the environment of the secret realm.
This place is similar to when he first entered, except that most of the various spirit medicine in the secret realm have already been harvested.
"Hmm, there's Golden Core cultivator here!"
Suddenly, he turned his head to look in the southeast direction, where a cultivator exuding the aura of Golden Core cultivator was also looking in this direction.
Who are you?
In an instant, a wave of Divine Sense came, and the Golden Core cultivator also fled in this direction at the same time, drawing a red line in the air.
'This Divine Sense is really not very useful; it's easily detected by cultivators of the same realm!'
Fang Yu thought to himself, switched his Divine Sense to Divine Thought thought, and stepped into the Great Void.
Almost at the same moment his figure disappeared, the red line in the sky fell, revealing a figure whose Divine Sense fluctuated violently as he searched every inch of the surrounding space.
"Disappeared?"
The figure scanned the area for a moment but found nothing unusual. His brow furrowed. "Could someone else have taken on the task of cultivating spirit medicine in the secret realm? That doesn't make sense. These kinds of tasks are usually assigned to only one person, since they have to stay there for at least ten years before they can leave when the secret realm opens again."
The figure murmured, scanning again to make sure no one was there. "Perhaps other Nascent Soul elders have come in; otherwise, how could they have escaped my Divine Thought? Since they don't want to meet, then let's not cause any more trouble!"
As the figure spoke, it transformed into a beam of light and flew back to the herb garden where it had been before, continuing to cultivate various precious second-tier spirit medicine.
Fang Yu stood in the void, sensing his surroundings with his Divine Thought.
The Great Void he was in was now separated from the outer Great Void by a layer of cyan light, forming an independent Great Void region.
Along the edge of the light shield, nine golden chains are anchored at one point on the shield and extend towards the center, dividing the area into nine spaces.
The other end of the gold chain is wrapped around a blue lotus flower in the center.
Fang Yu looked at the blue lotus and could vaguely see what appeared to be a human figure sitting inside, but the details were obscured by the light emanating from the lotus.
'Judging from the perspective of the Great Void, this Azure Lotus Secret Realm doesn't seem to be specifically used for cultivating spirit medicine. It's more likely it's there to lock down that lotus platform. Moreover, the great array within this secret realm is layered upon layered, divided into several levels: second, third, and fourth tiers. The closer one gets to the lotus platform, the stronger the restrictions become. The innermost one should reach the fifth tier. If it truly is meant to seal something, then it certainly isn't something ordinary.'
Fang Yu sensed that he was being blocked by the light emanating from the lotus platform, so he immediately withdrew his Divine Thought to avoid accidentally triggering the fifth-order Spirit Transformation Grand Formation and attracting unknown attacks.
The next moment, he looked at the outermost area, took a step, and entered a nearby area.
In the present world, space rippled, and a foot stepped out from the void, followed by a middle-aged man who was none other than Fang Yu.
He spread his Divine Thought and passively explored the area, soon arriving at a Gold Jade Lingzhi mushroom.
"This Ganoderma lucidum is excellent!"
A smile appeared on Fang Yu's lips as he plucked the Gold Jade Lingzhi. He then picked some other precious, less common second-tier spirit medicine nearby before rushing toward the next Gold Jade Lingzhi mushroom.
He quickly collected the nine best-growing ' Gold Jade Lingzhi ' mushrooms and some other second-tier spirit medicine, then stepped into the Great Void Great Void went directly to another area next door.
There were about a hundred Gold Jade Lingzhi mushrooms in each area. Fang Yu wasn't greedy and only collected one-tenth of them to avoid arousing suspicion from the immortal sects by collecting too many.
As time passed, he collected from one region to another. After collecting from all eight regions, he had 108 Gold Jade Lingzhi and a large number of other precious second-tier spirit medicine in his Purple Mansion.
If such a large quantity of Gold Jade Lingzhi were used to refine pills, it could produce at least four hundred Foundation Establishment Pill, roughly equivalent to the Foundation Establishment Pill refined by True Person Jade Liquid.
However, Fang Yu wouldn't refine so many Foundation Establishment Pill, since he wouldn't need them. Moreover, this Gold Jade Lingzhi could not only be used as the main ingredient for second-tier Foundation Establishment Pill, but also as an auxiliary ingredient for third-tier pills that could enhance cultivation.
"The outer perimeter has been looted; now it's time to scavenge the inner perimeter!"
Fang Yu's gaze fell on the area where the golden chains were close to the lotus. There was also an area there, but it was not divided into nine sections. Instead, it was connected in a circle. In his Divine Thought sense, the corresponding physical world was a body of water, and he could sense the Demon Power fluctuations of the Golden Core level within that body of water.
He walked along a golden chain and soon arrived at the area where the water was. He took a step and saw a shimmering expanse of water before him.
What may appear as a small area in the Great Void would be a boundless expanse of water surrounding an island in the mortal world.
"Let's call this place Azure Lotus Lake!"
Fang Yu casually gave this freshwater lake area a name, then looked towards the center of the lake.
In reality, it was a reed marshland, and the island was nowhere to be seen, let alone the figure of someone sitting in it.
'Hmm, that figure in the Great Void should just be a projection of its actual form; it's normal that we can't see it. If we could see it, that would be abnormal.'
Fang Yu withdrew his gaze, having no intention of exploring the center. An island shrouded by a fifth-order Spirit Transformation level array was not something he could enter at the moment; the risks were far too great. At the very least, he needed to figure out what was inside before even considering going in.
"Boom..."
A faint sound like muffled thunder could be heard, and it was rapidly approaching. Fang Yu looked in the direction of the sound and saw an undercurrent rising beneath the surface of the water, as if something was moving quickly down there.
"Splash!"
The next moment, the water beneath their feet exploded, and a blue figure soared into the sky, opening its enormous mouth and swallowing Fang Yu.
"Old man..."
The Sun Startling Wheel appeared beside Fang Yu, casting a circular Fang Yu shield that enveloped him and trapped the giant mouth that was trying to close. No matter how hard the sharp teeth in that mouth tried, they could not close it.
"It turned out to be a Dragonfish at the Golden Core level!"
A look of surprise appeared on Fang Yu Divine Thought was passively scanning, and he had already imprinted the image of the Dragonfish that wanted to ambush him in his mind. Its shape was like a giant carp magnified countless times, with four nostrils, making it look extremely ferocious and ugly.
"Zheng..."
The next moment, a golden light emerged from Fang Yu's eyebrows, shot through his open mouth and into his body, piercing straight through the fish's body.
"Clap clap clap..."
The Dragonfish spat Fang Yu out the next moment, then frantically thrashed its tail, but its body had already been cut in half by Fang Yu's Sun Startling Wheel. After struggling for a while, it fell silent and became a dead fish.
With a slight thought, Fang Yu Moon Startling Wheel to slowly rotate around him, and he arrived at the Dragonfish corpse, taking out a third-tier Inner Core radiating mysterious runes from its body.
Fang Yu looked at the Inner Core core and a smile appeared on his lips, "I have the main ingredient for this third-tier pill used to enhance Golden Core cultivation."
He then put away the third-tier Inner Core, stored the enormous corpse of the Dragonfish into his Purple Mansion space, and turned his gaze to the distant water surface.
There, a surge of Demon Power at the Golden Core level was frantically rushing towards the bottom of the water. It was clearly another third-tier Dragonfish that was about to ambush him, but after witnessing the brutal death of its own kind, it chose to flee.
"Now that you're here, don't leave!"
Fang Yu's figure vanished, only to reappear above that area of water.
The Moon Startling Wheel plunged into the water with a dazzling golden light, accompanied by the sound of violent underwater currents, and large patches of crimson emerged from the water...
