Tao Qian fluttered away the clouds and mist to reveal the Linglong Cave Mansion, where, in the ethereal Immortal Pond, a Daoist figure was sitting in meditation.
Just as he was about to apologize and retreat, the rosy clouds and ethereal mist within the cave seemed to breathe, suddenly withdrawing back into the Immortal Pond.
This allowed Tao Qian to see the corpse seated in the pool waters.
It was unexpectedly a female cultivator. She possessed a delicate and pretty face, eyes tightly shut, naked, with her jet-black hair cascading down, her skin white as snow. If it weren't for Tao Qian's perception sensing not the slightest hint of life from her body, he might have mistaken her for being immersed in a bath or in cultivation.
Tao Qian, with his knowledge, cultivation, and combat capabilities, was far beyond what any ordinary Qi Refining Realm cultivator could compare to.
Even without touching, he could discern the female cultivator's state using his own senses.
