Cultivation: I can see the proficiency level

A house that is neither too far nor too close to the courtyard where Wang Mian lived.

A monk in a blue robe quietly entered the room and asked the group of people who respectfully bowed and addressed him as "Manager," "The person hasn't come out yet? Have you been discovered?"

Upon hearing this...

They all shook their heads, not suspecting that their spying had been leaked. Since mastering the magic, they had never failed and their surveillance had never been detected by the other party.

"Senior Zhou, we were all very careful, and our magic was extremely well concealed." The leader was a bit older, with a noticeable black mole on the corner of his mouth: "It's probably just his personality; that person prefers to stay in his tortoise shell and not go out."

They had been keeping watch for a long time, and apart from shopping and attending banquets, they rarely saw the other person go out. He seemed to be in seclusion.

The security array in the courtyard was always on, and an additional layer of concealment array was added, making it difficult for them to see what was happening inside.

"Once bitten by a snake, twice shy," the monk surnamed Zhou in the blue robe muttered to himself.

He instructed the men to keep watch and to relay any changes to him before turning and leaving the house, leaving the men to continue spying and keeping watch.

After the cultivator surnamed Zhou left, the group took turns keeping an eye on the courtyard.

at last!

After waiting for several days, a figure was seen walking out of the courtyard. The cultivator who was stroking the black hair on the mole took a closer look and immediately took out a communication talisman to send out the message.

"This matter is now considered settled. Once the reward money arrives, I will take you all to the Phoenix Pavilion, where I will hire a few female cultivators to serve you and you will stay for three to five days," he said after sending the message.

They all laughed and expressed their gratitude, while also reminiscing about their future plans.

........

At the city gate.

Wang Mian flew away, and only after the outline of Qiulong City disappeared did he step onto the Cloud-Piercing Shuttle and fly in the direction marked on the topographic map. Bai Jiuniang peeked out from his clothes and felt that the speed of his flight was extremely fast.

The light vanished in an instant among the mountains. Feeling the magic power slowly flowing into the cloud-piercing shuttle beneath my feet, I realized that while this high-grade magic weapon shuttle was fast, it also consumed a lot of energy.

If one activates their magic robe, it will complement the flying shuttle, increasing their escape speed even further, but also consuming more magic power.

This is why mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators use mid-grade magic weapons: while high-grade magic weapons are certainly useful, the mana consumption they consume is somewhat unbearable for mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators.

His Five Elements Sword Box consumed even more resources.

"Fortunately, I have prepared a lot of Yellow Dragon Pills to restore my mana." Wang Mian swallowed a Yellow Dragon Pill, and his mana suddenly increased. The Cloud Shuttle accelerated and disappeared, leaving only a wisp of air behind.

Although not as fast as Bai Jiuniang's lightning speed, it was about half of her speed.

Not long after Wang Mian left in his flying shuttle, several figures arrived in flying magical artifacts and pursued him relentlessly.

They were far apart, and Wang Mian was completely unaware.

They were getting closer and closer to the man's intestinal opening until they saw a huge cave on the mountainside not far away, shaped like the Chinese character "口" (mouth), with two stone pillars hanging upside down on it, like fangs growing from a mouth.

That is the entrance to the Human Intestine Cave, exactly as marked on the map.

With the magical artifact, the Cloud Shuttle, beneath his feet, Wang Mian looked into the dark cave. After carefully examining the surroundings and confirming that there were few people around, he released Bai Jiuniang.

Bai Jiuniang's nose twitched, but she could only smell the strong scent of night-shining sand and the stench of the demon beasts living together. She couldn't detect the medicinal fragrance that only spiritual herbs have.

"I haven't smelled any spiritual medicine, but that common medicine, Night-Shining Sand, is fresh and repulsive." Bai Jiuniang, who always loved cleanliness, had a look of disgust in her eyes.

The thought of entering this cave, which had been filled with excrement for many years, made it very reluctant to go. This cave was even more unacceptable to it than the Thousand Caves Cave it had hidden in before, at least the Thousand Caves Cave did not have so many monsters.

The stench of monster excrement.

Even Bai Jiuniang was no exception; her excrement was extremely smelly.

Knowing that it liked cleanliness, Wang Mian placed a stack of low-grade Xuanjia armor on its body. Layers of transparent spiritual light, like eggshells, enveloped it.

"Ninth Sister, don't step in the poop." Wang Mian didn't use the luminous pearl or the ever-burning candle. He simply opened his spiritual sense to the fullest extent, covering a distance of six or seven zhang, and floated into the cave.

Bai Jiuniang followed closely behind; she possessed spiritual eyes that allowed her to see clearly even in the darkness.

Two beams of light shot into the cave, and after traveling more than a hundred feet, they heard a dense cacophony of ghostly cries, and pairs of blood-red eyes lit up in the dark cave.

The indescribable density of the flowers gave Wang Mian goosebumps.

Bai Jiuniang revealed her demonic aura, suppressing it and causing many ghost-faced bats to flee in panic.

They hadn't gone far when a piercing ghostly howl rang out from the depths of the cave, as if giving an order, causing countless ghost-faced bats to tremble and make rustling sounds.

The mixed screams continued in one continuous stream, creating a huge and noisy commotion that was extremely unpleasant to the ear.

The next moment, countless ghost-faced bats pounced on Wang Mian and Bai Jiuniang. Each one was three feet in size, with a wingspan of nearly ten feet, bared fangs, and blood-red eyes.

"No wonder few cultivators dare to come here." Such a large number of ghost-faced bats, even if they are only low-grade demonic beasts, are enough to make cultivators at the sixth or seventh level of Qi Refining fear.

Wang Mian took out a thick stack of low-grade explosive talismans, activated a few and threw them out, activated a few more and threw them out again.

A burst of flames erupted, the blinding light scorching the approaching ghost-faced bats. The ghost-faced bats, naturally afraid of light and fire, hurriedly fled in all directions to avoid the flames.

Many ghost bats that couldn't dodge in time were burned black by the flames and fell into the thick layer of dung below.

Before coming here, Wang Mian had drawn many low-grade talismans, which were to be used at this moment.

"These beasts are so ferocious." The endless stream of ghost-faced bats, their crimson eyes filled with bloodlust, surged forward one after another, without end.

Many of the ghost-faced bats that pounced on her were burned to ashes by Bai Jiuniang.

This battle was like fighting the waves in the sea, with no end in sight. All that could be felt was the constant surge of dense monsters, and the gaps caused by the deaths and injuries were filled in an instant.

As the protective amulets shattered layer by layer, Wang Mian could see the hideous ghost faces growing on the bellies of the bats.

If Wang Mian hadn't possessed numerous low-grade talismans, he would have retreated long ago in the face of such a situation.

The sharp, piercing scream came again, and countless ghost-faced bats rushed towards Wang Mian like moths to a flame. Wang Mian used more than twenty talismans to block them.

Bai Jiuniang spewed demonic fire from her mouth, the blue flames burning incessantly, causing the ghost-faced bats to fall into the excrement below like dumplings.

A gigantic figure flew out, unleashing a dense aura of demonic energy. It used demonic magic and collided with Bai Jiuniang's azure demonic fire, creating a sense of evenly matched strength.

Ghost-Faced Bat King!

"Give this beast to me." Facing the Ghost-Faced Bat, which was also a mid-grade demon beast, Bai Jiuniang still had the energy to remind Wang Mian, showing no sign of going all out.

Wang Mian, who had intended to obtain a mid-grade talisman, stopped and cleared away the low-grade ghost-faced bats around him.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Bai Jiuniang cleaved the Ghost-Faced Bat King in two with a single claw, silencing its shrill screams and cries, leaving only terror and panic.

Countless ghost-faced bats flew into the cave, blocking the wide opening as they struggled to escape.

Seeing the ghost-faced bat retreat, Wang Mian and Bai Jiuniang continued flying into the cave. They felt that the cave was extremely winding, with twists and turns on the left and right, like a coiled intestine.

Its distance is unknown, its depth is unknown.

Wang Mian was completely unaware that several tails were following him after he got up, hanging far behind him, their presence extremely concealed, tracking Wang Mian's traces and aura.

The ghost-faced bats that had caused him so much trouble avoided the cloth bags in their hands, showing great disgust and constantly dodging and giving way. The group passed through the densely packed area where the ghost-faced bats lived without being attacked by a single one.

His aura was completely concealed, and he stopped to wait, only sensing the presence of Wang Mian ahead.

Wang Mian, and even Bai Jiuniang, were completely unaware of this.
