"So Senior already had a plan. It seems I spoke out of turn!" Zhu Guo'er said respectfully, blinking her large eyes.

"However, what you said isn't entirely correct, and we cannot afford to be careless on this trip. After the previous battles, we've become widely known in the demon world. To enter Blue Waterfall Lake, we must not only change our appearance but also temporarily separate for a while. Guo'er, you should stay nearby with Daoist Crab for some time. I will go into Blue Waterfall City alone first to gather information. With my disguise technique, as long as I don't directly face a Mahayana-stage being, I shouldn't fear being recognized," Han Li said, seemingly after some thought, giving his instructions without hesitation.

"Since Senior Han has instructed it, Guo'er will obey." Zhu Guo'er naturally dared not defy Han Li's wishes, and upon hearing she could be alone with Daoist Crab, she readily agreed, feeling a surge of joy.

This young girl still hadn't figured out Daoist Crab's identity as a puppet, and for some unknown reason, she had developed an inexplicable fondness for his physical form.

Daoist Crab simply nodded slightly, then remained standing silently in place.

Although the immortal puppet possessed a certain degree of sentience, based on the contract it had with Han Li and the significant amount of 'Fake Creation Dew' it had already received as advance payment, it naturally appeared indifferent.

Han Li smiled faintly, unconcerned by the other's reaction.

He himself was proficient in puppetry, and through his time spent with Daoist Crab, he had developed a good understanding of its semi-autonomous nature.

He knew that while Daoist Crab appeared normal and indistinguishable from an ordinary person, it was still subject to several restrictions imposed by its former master, which it could not easily violate. However, in other matters, it possessed a considerably high degree of autonomy.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to lure it out of the sea of lightning using the mysterious green liquid and forcefully make it his temporary bodyguard.

Of course, Han Li was also well aware that even with Daoist Crab by his side, it didn't mean he would truly have no further worries in the demon world.

If it weren't for the fact that the great Ancestral Demons were each occupied and unable to spare their full strength to deal with him, and other ordinary Saint Ancestors, relying on their status, hadn't even considered joining forces, how could he have truly remained safely in the demon world until now?

Then, after giving a few more instructions to Zhu Guo'er and Daoist Crab, Han Li's bones cracked, his body instantly grew a foot taller, and his face dramatically transformed. He morphed into a refined-looking middle-aged man.

He then stomped his foot, transforming into a streak of black light that shot through the air, fleeing directly towards the depths of the lake.

Seeing Han Li depart, Daoist Crab silently shook his long sleeve, and after a golden glow enveloped them, he and Zhu Guo'er vanished from the hilltop.

With Han Li's current cultivation, even without fully unleashing his escape light, his speed was astonishing. In a short while, he had already traveled tens of thousands of miles.

At this point, some small islands appeared on the distant azure water. Simple small buildings had been constructed on them, and some demon people could be seen entering and exiting.

On some islands, various black wooden boats, large and small, were docked, occasionally carrying demon people further into the lake.

Han Li was not surprised by this.

Since he intended to come to Blue Waterfall Lake, he had naturally gathered extremely detailed information about the area. He knew that deep within Blue Waterfall Lake, Ancestor Blue Burst had once invited several esteemed Saint Ancestors to jointly set up an enormous anti-flight restriction. Any demon cultivator whose cultivation had not surpassed the Demon Lord level would immediately lose their ability to fly upon entering, and could only honestly travel by boat to the core of Blue Waterfall Lake.

Although Han Li was not restricted by this formation, he didn't want to attract the attention of high-level demons in the area. Therefore, after briefly circling above a nearby small island, he descended.

The moment his feet touched the ground, a short, dark-skinned demon man immediately ran over.

"This humble one is Guan Yang. Greetings, Senior. Are you heading to Blue Waterfall City? Although my boat isn't large, its speed is definitely unparalleled among the surrounding hundred islands," said the low-level demon, who looked similar to an ordinary human. He bowed first, then spoke with a wide grin, revealing a set of pearly white teeth.

"Oh, your cultivation is only at the Foundation Establishment stage, yet you boast so much. What you say isn't untrue, is it?" Han Li looked at the demon before him, then scanned the dozen or so wooden boats of various sizes docked by the island, replying noncommittally.

"Senior, rest assured. If what I say proves false, I am willing to return double the demonic stones." Although Guan Yang couldn't discern Han Li's cultivation level, he knew from Han Li's demeanor and aura that he was definitely not an ordinary Core Formation or Nascent Soul stage cultivator. Thus, he dared not show any negligence and guaranteed with a pat on his chest.

"Alright, since you've said so, I'll take your boat. The amount of demonic stones isn't an issue, but speed is key. I need to reach Blue Waterfall City early," Han Li said, narrowing his eyes slightly. After realizing that the other party's words were likely true, he nodded.

"Senior, rest assured, I will definitely not disappoint you. Senior, please come this way. My boat is over there." Guan Yang was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed, gesturing towards a small, several-zhang-long boat by the shore with his finger.

Han Li glanced at the small boat, said nothing, and immediately strode towards the shore.

Guan Yang naturally followed behind, filled with joy.

After a short while, the black wooden boat left the small island, speeding forward like a crossbow bolt.

Han Li sat cross-legged at the bow, quietly watching the demon man at the stern, whose arms swiftly wielded two pitch-black iron oars.

The surface of these two iron oars glowed with a faint blue light. Each time they cut through the water, they propelled a large amount of lake water violently backwards, forming two long, milky-white wakes.

"No wonder you dared to boast so much; you have two suitable low-grade demonic artifacts," Han Li watched with considerable interest for a while, then suddenly asked with a smile.

"Senior, you jest. These two low-grade demonic artifacts of mine are considered family heirlooms; our ancestors began making a living with them. While there are certainly better demonic artifacts, how could a master holding such high-grade artifacts possibly engage in ferrying passengers? I'm just trying to make a living," Guan Yang replied honestly, while strenuously rowing.

"Oh, by your tone, you're a local, then. You should be quite familiar with Blue Waterfall City, I presume?" Han Li's heart stirred, but he asked indifferently.

"If you want to ask about things common knowledge, I naturally know them inside out. But if it's about overly secretive matters, then it's hard to say. After all, my cultivation is limited, and it's impossible for me to access those higher-level affairs," Guan Yang replied without hesitation, clearly accustomed to such questions.

"Heh heh, don't worry. I wouldn't ask you about overly secretive matters," Han Li chuckled lightly, seeing the other party's watertight answer.

"Then Senior, please feel free to ask. I will definitely tell you everything I know," Guan Yang replied quickly, his heart easing.

"Hmm, I want to know where Bloodtooth Rice is sold in Blue Waterfall City. Such an item isn't typically bought and sold casually in ordinary shops, is it?" Han Li mused for a moment, then probed.

"Haha, Senior has also come for Bloodtooth Rice. You've certainly asked the right person about this. May I ask if Senior intends to buy just one or two, or if you plan to purchase a large quantity?" Guan Yang asked in return, a hint of excitement on his face after hearing Han Li's question.

"What if I only buy one or two? And what if I want to purchase a large quantity?" Han Li frowned, asking again.

"Senior, if you're buying a small amount, you can simply go to a few designated shops in the city. However, these shops have a daily limited supply and only sell to Seniors above the Soul Transformation stage, with a maximum of two items per person. If the same person wishes to buy again, they must have resided in Blue Waterfall for at least a year to qualify. But this is just on the surface. If Senior truly intends to purchase a large quantity, there are still some special unofficial methods to buy more at once. Of course, if Senior isn't too particular about the quality of Bloodtooth Rice, even larger quantities might be available," Guan Yang's smile widened as he rapidly explained.

"But what if I want more than just that quantity, and it must be the highest-grade Bloodtooth Rice?" Han Li said slowly, his expression unchanged.

"Ah, Senior, if that's your purpose, I'm afraid it's basically impossible. The city's control over high-grade Bloodtooth Rice is very strict; they simply don't allow excess quantities to circulate outside," Guan Yang said, his face immediately showing a troubled expression upon hearing this.

"I'm well aware of that. If I could truly buy enough high-grade Bloodtooth Rice externally, why would I bother coming all the way to Blue Waterfall Lake myself? Furthermore, I've always believed that nothing is truly impossible in this world; it only depends on whether the price you're willing to pay is high enough," Han Li stated expressionlessly, staring at the demon man.

"On that point, I'm truly afraid I can't help you, Senior. However, you could inquire further in the city; perhaps others have different methods," Guan Yang replied with a wry smile after a moment of hesitation.

Han Li's lips curved slightly at the corners upon hearing this. He nodded, then said no more, slowly closing his eyes.

And so, the small boat, propelled by Guan Yang's strenuous rowing, continued to shoot towards the center of Blue Waterfall Lake at an extremely high speed.

A full two hours later, a black dot finally appeared on the lake ahead. As the wooden boat sped closer, it grew larger and larger, eventually forming a gigantic island that gradually became clearly visible.

Han Li narrowed his eyes, a faint blue glow flickering in his pupils, and saw everything on the island clearly. Along the edge of the island, a considerably large city had been strikingly built.

From the appearance of its outer walls, the city, apart from being entirely constructed from pale blue giant stones, was otherwise largely indistinguishable from an ordinary demon city. It was also several dozen zhang high, with fully armed demon guards stationed all along its top.

At a large gate facing their direction, another group of spear-wielding demons stood guard vigilantly.
