"I need an explanation!"

Bai Cang calmed down slightly, but his expression remained cold and stern.

The world of the pot is one of his most important secrets, second only to his identity as a "hanger".

If it were smaller in scale, it could still be explained as a "portable cave dwelling," and it wouldn't have attracted so much attention or been coveted.

But now, the world of pots and pans has been established as a grotto-heaven.

Although its size is still much smaller than that of an ordinary grotto-heaven.

However, in terms of essence and energy level, it is even more so.

Even a primordial spirit Dao Lord would inevitably feel greed upon seeing it.

After all, the first level of the primordial spirit is divided into "loose immortal", "earth immortal" and "celestial immortal".

Those who live a carefree life are called wandering immortals; those who govern blessed lands are called earth immortals; and those who control grotto heavens are called celestial immortals.

Although there is no difference in cultivation level among the three, their strength is vastly different.

This shows that even at the level of the Nascent Soul Dao Lord, blessed lands and grotto-heavens are extremely scarce resources, truly rare treasures.

Throughout the entire Central Plains, plus the four regions of the east, west, south, and north, there are only thirty-six known grotto-heavens and seventy-two blessed lands.

Most importantly, these blessed lands also have wondrous uses such as "warding off calamities" and "avoiding disasters."

Which Nascent Soul Dao Lord wouldn't be tempted?

Bai Cang would not be able to eat or sleep peacefully until he figured out Ning Shuangrong's methods.

"This is the inherent meaning of the question. Even if Brother Bai doesn't mention it, I, Ning, will explain it."

With a blush on her face, Ning Shuangrong said gently, "I did not intend to pry into Brother Bai's secrets. I only wanted to use Brother Bai's help to seize the opportunity to be born into the world. Who knew that I would accidentally enter your precious land? I am willing to apologize."

Bai Cang rolled his eyes. "Just tell me your methods and your background. Stop with this nonsense."

Holy crap, what I said is like saying nothing at all. Are you trying to fool idiots?

Ning Shuangrong's expression darkened upon hearing this, but she still explained, "Our Fangcun Mountain has a unique skill that allows one to open a cosmic cave within the space of the spiritual platform. Naturally, one can also hide in another person's spiritual platform and temporarily find refuge there."

"This small grotto-heaven is Brother Bai's private property, and I, Ning, would not dare to trespass. Therefore, my lingering here is entirely without intention of offense."

Bai Cang sneered repeatedly, taking Ning Shuangrong's words as mere nonsense.

What does "won't trespass" mean? Does it mean they can't, or they dare not?

However, Bai Cang had already anticipated that Ning Shuangrong's words were not entirely untrue.

He just needs some time and information to provide "Xin Yi Shen Shu" with some "materials".

So-called Yi numerology and fortune telling are nothing more than "using fixed numbers to evolve into other numbers" and "using the known to deduce the unknown." The more and more detailed the known information one has, the more accurate the deduction will be.

Moreover, deducing everything about an unknown person is a completely different level of difficulty from deducing the specific circumstances of a known person.

Whether what she said was true or false, it always revealed some information.

For Bai Cang, that was enough!

After all, he didn't want to predict Ning Shuangrong's future fate, but rather to explore her methods of pursuing the "Pot Heaven World".

The future is uncertain, with almost infinite variables.

Ning Shuangrong, protected by the sect's fortune and not being weak herself, was naturally beyond Bai Cang's control.

However, at this point in time, the nature of her methods is a "certainty."

With enough information, Bai Cang can deduce it using the "Heart-Mind Divine Calculation"!

Thinking this, Bai Cang asked many more questions and chatted with Ning Shuangrong for a long time, getting the information he wanted from her words.

"I see, I thought it was something more impressive."

After a long while, Bai Cang suddenly fell silent, his eyes flashing with countless hexagrams.

Ning Shuangrong's methods were no longer secret in his eyes.

Even her cultivation level and Daoist foundation were somewhat discerned by Bai Cang.

To some extent, Ning Shuangrong did not lie, but she did not tell the whole truth.

Her ability to "lurk" and "rely on" Bai Cang is indeed closely related to the Fangcun Mountain's signature martial art, "Fangcun Book".

However, without her three innate divine abilities, "Fangcun Mountain" would never have been able to escape Bai Cang's senses and allow her to "hang" on Bai Cang's body.

Ning Shuangrong's three innate supernatural abilities are: Lingxi, Nongying, and Yin-Yang Fish.

As the saying goes: Though we may not have the wings of a phoenix to fly together, our hearts are connected by a single thread of understanding.

Her spiritual powers allow her to overcome obstacles in cultivation, capture inspiration in combat, and even communicate with others heart to heart, perceive the good and evil in people's hearts, and comprehend the mysteries of the heavens.

It is estimated that her easy "give in" was due to her "spiritual resonance" ability, which allowed her to perceive the terrifying nature of Bai Cang.

The Shadow Manipulation Technique allows one to hide in the shadows, following them like a shadow, with an extremely strong concealment effect.

The Yin-Yang fish possesses supernatural powers, with Yin and Yang mutually generating each other, and emptiness and fullness complementing each other, concealing both self and others.

It was precisely because of her "spiritual resonance" ability that Ning Shuangrong was able to "capture" Bai Cang's thoughts in advance and come up with the idea of ​​taking a risk.

The two supernatural abilities, "Shadow Play" and "Yin-Yang Fish," combined with the "Square Inch Book," are Ning Shuangrong's true methods of hiding in Bai Cang's eyes without him noticing.

If it were truly hidden within Bai Cang's spiritual platform, how could Bai Cang have been completely unaware of it?

Even if Ning Shuangrong's methods are clever enough to deceive Bai Cang's senses.

The "Heavenly Dao Register" will also teach her how to be a person.

No, they might not even have the chance to be born as human beings; they can only be careful in their next life.

Do you even understand the true value of "hanging on the wall"?

Thinking this, Bai Cang suddenly frowned and said indifferently, "Alright, enough of the small talk, let's get back to the main topic."

Fellow Daoist Ning is currently adrift in the deep space. If you wish to return to the mortal world, you can only seek my help and travel through the Lesser Grotto-Heaven.

But why should I help you?

Previously, it was unclear what Ning Shuangrong's methods and trump cards were.

Even Bai Cang dared not openly break off relations, and could only feign compliance despite his displeasure.

But now that he has seen through Ning Shuangrong's "underwear" and is certain that she needs something from him, why would he be polite?

Of course, we should put on a really tough face!

Ning Shuangrong remained expressionless upon hearing this, but her pupils contracted almost imperceptibly.

She wasn't unprepared for a "showdown," but she hadn't expected Bai Cang to be so perceptive and guess the truth so quickly.

Moreover, judging from Bai Cang's confident tone, this was by no means a lie, but rather a genuine display of confidence that led him to adopt such an impolite attitude.

This also means that all the carefully prepared lines she had prepared were now meaningless.

Thinking of this, Ning Shuangrong's tone softened, "Brother Bai, just tell me what you need. Fangcun Mountain still has some resources."

Although the tone was soft, it was not obsequious; it carried a hint of firmness and intimidation.

But Bai Cang didn't care about any of that. He immediately said, "Hand over your true spirit and acknowledge me as your master!"
