"Fellow Daoist Zhenru, I didn't realize you were so fond of talent!"

On the way away from the Guo family, Feng Piaopiao couldn't help but tease Liu Yunqing.

Liu Yunqing remained silent, but Ruan Qing deliberately contradicted Feng Piaopiao, saying:

"Guo Ming deserves our pity! You have no compassion at all!"

Zhuo Ying, standing to the side, also unusually agreed with Ruan Qing's words, saying:

"It's really a pity. Such a talented person, ruined like this."

Thinking of the younger generation of the Guo family, Liu Yunqing smiled slightly and said:

"It is quite rare. Although Guo Ming is not a good person, the Guo family will definitely not collapse."

After saying that, he turned to ask Feng Piaopiao:

"When will the people from the Shangqing Sect arrive?"

It's been several days now.

When it came to serious matters, Feng Piaopiao answered quite seriously, counting on her fingers as she said:

"I reckon it'll be in a day or two. Let's go back and wait."

Liu Yunqing's world has no waiting.

She returned home a day ago but no one showed up. That night, she was itching to sneak into the city lord's mansion.

"Ruan Qing and I will go. After all, we can avoid people, but you can't."

They can't do it?

The three remained silent.

Zhuo Ying, being a formation master, remained remarkably silent.

She hates it!

Why is it that her invisibility talisman, which can even deceive Golden Core cultivators, cannot make her invisible in Biyue City?

Why is it that the two youngest ones, one of whom was inexplicably able to avoid it, is still incredibly strong?

But Ruan Qing's cultivation level is also the lowest. She usually stays on the sidelines when fighting. How come she can avoid it?

This is not only Zhuo Ying's sentiment, but also Feng Piaopiao's.

Unfortunately, no amount of hatred could change anything; the two of them were simply irresistible.

Having learned from their previous experience, the two arrived at the city lord's mansion with ease this time.

Seeing those colorful "ribbons" fly straight into the backyard of the city lord's mansion, Ruan Qing lifted her foot to step forward.

Remembering the feeling of being spied on at the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion when he passed by earlier in the day, Liu Yunqing grabbed Ruan Qing and transmitted his voice:

"Be careful. The defenses of this city lord's mansion seem overly weak on the surface, but I reckon there's more to it than meets the eye."

"You stay behind me. If there's a problem, just run."

After giving Ruan Qing his instructions, Liu Yunqing's mind stirred slightly, and under the cover of night, his entire body became hazy and indistinct.

Ruan Qing, who was following behind Liu Yunqing, couldn't even sense Liu Yunqing's presence.

If Liu Yunqing hadn't actually been standing right in front of her, Ruan Qing would have thought the two of them were in completely different realms.

Curiosity flashed in Ruan Qing's eyes. She wanted to say something, but then she saw Liu Yunqing walk forward.

Ruan Qing didn't dare to delay, so she quickly shut her mouth, started walking, and hurried after him.

The two of them went straight to the backyard where the light band had passed.

The two traveled as if they were in an empty place, and none of the mysteries that Liu Yunqing had guessed came to light.

Then, the two stopped in front of a colorful stone.

Aside from its beautiful color, exceptional clarity, and spiritual energy, this stone doesn't seem particularly special.

Ruan Qing whispered to Liu Yunqing:

"Senior Sister Zhenru, do you think those light bands were all absorbed by this stone?"

"The main problem is that this city lord's mansion looks too normal."

It was just an ordinary small city under the control of a major sect.

Upon entering the city lord's mansion, Liu Yunqing and Ruan Qing shared the same feeling: they indeed found nothing unusual.

Looking at that stone again, it was indeed just a pretty stone with a slight touch of spirit.

Apart from some ordinary servants, there was nothing unusual in the main courtyard of the city lord's mansion.

On the surface, this Lord of Biyue City is just an ordinary Golden Core cultivator, but Liu Yunqing has not seen him in person, so he does not intend to risk using his divine sense to investigate.

They only circled the main courtyard once, and when they found nothing unusual, they returned.

But it is precisely because everything about it is too normal that it looks so abnormal.

After thinking for a while, Liu Yunqing walked to the large rock and slowly reached out his hand towards it.

Then Liu Yunqing saw her hand slowly pass through the five-colored stone and disappear before her eyes.

Ruan Qing, who was watching from the sidelines, slowly opened her eyes, pointed at Liu Yunqing's disappeared hand, and said in shock:

"This...this stone..."

"Shh!"

Liu Yunqing gestured for Ruan Qing to be quiet, then said to her:

"The situation inside is unclear. You should go back to the inn and wait for me."

Ruan Qing shook her head and said:

"What if something's really strange, and you get caught?"

Liu Yunqing was somewhat surprised, and glanced at Ruan Qing before saying:

"If you don't want to go back to the inn to wait, you can wait for me outside the mansion. That way, it will be easier to escape if something unexpected happens."

Ruan Qing remained standing still, so Liu Yunqing had no choice but to say:

"Don't worry, I have my own way of protecting myself, but that method can only protect myself and cannot protect others."

Hearing Liu Yunqing say this, Ruan Qing opened her mouth, but finally nodded and obediently climbed over the wall.

After confirming that Ruan Qing had taken refuge in a safe location, Liu Yunqing walked back to the colorful stone, composed himself, and then took a step forward.

The next instant, just as Liu Yunqing had predicted, she entered a space through the stone.

To be precise, it was a temporary cave dwelling.

Judging from the simple furnishings, it was clear that the owner of this cave did not intend to stay here for long.

They even spend every day in this place.

They were all useless things. Liu Yunqing glanced at them and then looked away, searching the small space.

There's nothing there?

Did she guess wrong?

The reason Liu Yunqing insisted on sneaking into the city lord's mansion at night was not only because she couldn't sit still, but also because she wanted to find the Boundless Water before the people from the Shangqing Sect arrived.

Now she searched the entire temporary cave, but there was nothing unusual, not even a boundless body of water.

It's as if this place is specifically designed for people to stay for a short while.

Just when Liu Yunqing thought he was going to return empty-handed, he saw a band of light fluttering down from above.

Liu Yunqing's eyes lit up, and she looked in the direction the ribbons fell, discovering that the ribbons of light landed on the only huge futon in the space.

To be precise, it means passing through the futon.

Pass through?

Liu Yunqing took two steps to the futon, lifted it up, and found that there was a wooden board underneath, covered with intricate runes.

Apart from some basic and commonly used formations, Liu Yunqing knew absolutely nothing about formations. She felt dizzy just looking at those runes for too long.

Looking at the wooden plank, Liu Yunqing pondered for a moment, then asked himself:

"Little Fusang, do you have a solution?"

As soon as Liu Yunqing finished speaking, a thin, cool branch wrapped around her shoulder and fingers, followed by the sound of the hibiscus tree:

"Master, that's enough!"

Liu Yunqing tentatively approached the wooden board, and seeing that it did not trigger anything, she lifted the board off.

Using her divine sense to probe beneath the wooden plank, Liu Yunqing saw only a large funnel-shaped vat filled with water, and then gently leaped down.

The space below was even smaller. After placing a large vat and a small stone platform, there was almost no room for another person to stand.

Those rays of light that passed through the futon fell into this large vat.

Liu Yunqing noticed the same runes on the wooden board above the opening of the large vat; no wonder the light belt could obediently enter.

Liu Yunqing only glanced at it before focusing all her attention on the stone platform beside her.

The stone platform was made of a material that could block divine sense. Only when Liu Yunqing got closer could he see that a pit the size of a large bowl had been carved out on the platform, and there was a small half bowl of light blue water in the pit.

"Is this the Boundless Water?"
