Lin Xu traveled to another world, with no background and no resources. Although he worked hard to become a super scholar, he still could not avoid a future as a beast of burden.
Until his tal...
After checking the firearms, Lin Xu came to a grayish-blue cube.
This block is surrounded by a ring of stones, and a fountain of water, shooting very high, is erupting from the center of the stone ring.
This is another major achievement for Lin Xu during this period.
He stacked one hundred rock blocks together, and then combined them with hundreds of water source seeds.
Although water and seeds need to be sown like mineral veins, according to the island's classification rules, water is classified as a mechanical resource, not a mineral vein.
Therefore, Lin Xu's planting of water sources went surprisingly smoothly, and he was able to successfully plant one water source each time.
Now, with hundreds of small puddles of water superimposed and combined with mountain stone blocks, an infinite water source has indeed been created.
Moreover, the quality of this water source was beyond Lin Xu's expectations; it was exceptionally high, even comparable to peach trees that had undergone multiple improvements.
This spring now has its own name:
[A Fountain of Life with Multiple Layers]
[Introduction: A miracle? Even if it's a miracle, there's no creation this outrageous!]
[Features: A spring that continuously gushes out water, and has some additional characteristics]
[Drawback: The spring requires at least a 3x3 (9 square meters) space to function properly; currently, the water source is obstructed, limiting its effectiveness to only one-tenth.]
【Characteristic 1: Source of Life. The water from this spring can greatly replenish life and has the ability to heal very serious injuries. Long-term consumption will also enhance vitality. Using this water to water plants has a chance to advance the plant's level and accelerate plant growth.】
【Feature 2: Spring of Cleansing. This spring can purify impurities and cleanse the soul. Even if you suffer severe negative buffs, this spring can wash you clean.】
【Characteristic 3: Water Saint. If suitable water-type crystals are placed in spring water, advanced water vortexes will be created. These vortexes have the ability to regulate water flow and control rainfall, which can help crops grow】
The properties of the Fountain of Life delighted Lin Xu for a while.
Although he currently lacks land and cannot create eight additional 100x stacked rocks, he cannot fully utilize the spring's effects.
But the existing functions of the spring are already incredibly advanced.
In particular, the life-giving power of the spring water overlaps with the effects of the peach tree, but the focus is different.
With the Fountain of Life, not only peach trees can undergo gradual transformation and increase their growth rate, but other plants can also be modified in a similar way.
Moreover, the effect of the Fountain of Life in enhancing vitality can be stacked with that of peaches. Lin Xu ate a lot of large peaches and drank water from the Fountain of Life in one day. In just one day, he felt that he had broken through a certain bottleneck and his superpowers had increased again.
For example, of the two life abilities that he hadn't unlocked yet, one of them now seems to be loosening up and appears to be about to awaken.
Because of his life-giving abilities, Lin Xu can digest and absorb these life-giving foods or water very quickly, and he hardly needs to excrete them.
So even though he ate a lot, showing off more than thirty large peaches a day and drinking 10 liters of the Fountain of Life, he didn't burst from being so full; on the contrary, he enjoyed it very much.
The other two characteristics of the Fountain of Life are also quite present.
The effect of removing negative buffs needs no further explanation; it is an extremely powerful function. After all, various negative curses often appear in the dark world, which can easily cause losses to the island owner.
As for the third attribute, the Water Saint, Lin Xu estimated that this attribute was somewhat similar to the ability to cultivate supernatural fruits, which could use the Fountain of Life to create high-quality special vortex objects.
He was curious whether if he could conjure up such objects, he could also obtain top-tier spirits to help him manage the island.
However, he currently lacks water-based crystals, so he cannot test this ability for the time being.
Lin Xu then glanced at the crystal on the ley line block.
Now, this crystal is the only one he is most likely to unleash his enlightenment ability on.
He was very much looking forward to seeing what kind of spirit this crystal would conjure up.
Lin Xu held a large peach in his hand, took a bite, and pondered leisurely.
Just then, Tao Yao's shout suddenly came over.
Tao Yao's slender and agile body flew swiftly from afar, the little elf tugging at Lin Xu's hair:
"Master, Master, there's something going on over there!"
Lin Xu raised an eyebrow, looked in the direction Tao Yao pointed, and his eyes lit up slightly.
In the distance, a mass of objects was drifting slowly, flying straight toward the island.
Upon closer inspection, they were three pieces of loose soil joined together.
One of the patches of loose soil was a piece of black soil that looked very fertile.
The other two are two water blocks.
The water was a bit darker in color; it wasn't a freshwater patch, but rather a saltwater patch.
In this type of floating water block, the water inside does not fall down from the void along the edge.
Because of the mysterious laws of islands, the edges of these water blocks are like a barrier, firmly trapping the water inside and preventing it from flowing out.
Lin Xu looked at the three cubes with a slight excitement.
This was territory delivered to his doorstep; his island could finally be expanded through normal means.
Black soil blocks are certainly suitable for cultivation. They can be stacked with fertile soil or accumulated separately to grow other plants.
As for saltwater blocks, these blocks are quite magical. When they are near land, saltwater blocks are generally called shallow sea blocks, which will produce beach creatures and resources.
However, if a saltwater block is more than 100 meters away from a land block, it will become a deep-sea block, at which point more types of fish resources will appear, and it is said that there will also be pirate treasure.
Lin Xu naturally wanted to collect as many of these resources as possible.
However, just as Lin Xu was waiting for the floating soil to approach, a slight fluctuation suddenly came from the airflow around the island.
Then, a huge figure suddenly jumped out from a saltwater block in the distance.
The figure looked tiny within the one-meter square, but once it left the square, it grew larger and larger, reaching at least five or six meters in length and width.
"This is... a Dark Orca!"
Lin Xu was slightly surprised when he saw the appearance of the black creature.
This is what's known as a dark creature.
The creature had the outline of an orca, but its entire body was shrouded in black mist, and its eyes were crimson red. Its gaze toward Lin Xu was filled with madness and bloodlust.
Upon noticing Lin Xu, the Dark Orca opened its large, dark mouth and emitted a series of strange cries.
The sound didn't seem like a living thing; it sounded more like some kind of steam whistle, sharp and piercing.
The orca pounced on Lin Xu the next moment.
This creature can move in the void. After jumping out of the block, it lands in the void more than ten meters in front of it, as if it had fallen into water, and even caused ripples.
Tao Yao grabbed Lin Xu's hair and exclaimed:
"Master, let me deal with this giant monster!"
