Shuilong Village is the first place Gu Yuan found on the map. This place is closest to Gu Yuan’s current location, so Gu Yuan plans to go there first to see if he can gain anything.
However, Gu Yuan actually did not have any hope. He just went there to take a look, because it was impossible for him to be so lucky that he could find Shui Yaoyao's whereabouts just by going to the first place.
Of course, Gu Yuan did not hold out hope and just went there tentatively. However, if he could really have such good luck and if Shui Yaoyao could really be there, he would undoubtedly be the happiest.
After making up his mind, Gu Yuan determined the direction. Shuilong Village was southeast of him, and the distance was not very far, so Gu Yuan thought he could just walk there.
Although walking was slow, it allowed him to hone his spiritual energy. After all, he was already a ninth-level spiritual master, and there was only one obstacle left before he could reach the spiritual master realm.
Therefore, Gu Yuan wanted to seize every available time to hone himself, hoping to practice well during this period. It would be best if he could break through to the Spirit Master realm as soon as possible.
However, Gu Yuan also knew that this matter could not be rushed, so he just took advantage of this time to train himself well and prepare for his breakthrough. In this way, he would be able to enjoy the arrival of the Spirit Master realm naturally.
After confirming the location of Shuilong Village, Gu Yuan walked towards the southeast. Compared with the hard life in the desert, he felt that the living environment outside was really great.
The harsh desert environment was simply not a place for humans to stay. The endless expanse of yellow sand stretched as far as the eye could see. Even the most resilient and patient would experience visual fatigue after a long period of exposure to such conditions. Furthermore, the scorching sun would undoubtedly be a tormenting experience for cultivators who weren't fire or earth-attributed. For those with water or ice attributes, entering such a desert would undoubtedly create difficulties for them, significantly reducing their combat capabilities. Fortunately, Gu Yuan was a dual-attribute cultivator of both fire and earth, so he wasn't afraid. Thinking back to his days of cultivation in the desert, Gu Yuan recalled the bead he had obtained there.
Thinking of this, Gu Yuan took out a wooden box from his space ring while walking, and then opened the wooden box.
He held the bead in the wooden box. It was perfectly still, a dark gray inside. Gu Yuan knew the bead must have been depleted of energy, hence its color. However, he was puzzled as to whether the bead could actually store lightning energy. If so, he would simply need to find a location with sufficient lightning energy to absorb it, and it would be able to recover. However, if it was a disposable item, then it would be a waste for Gu Yuan.
I finally found a unique treasure in the desert. If it was just a one-time use, it would be completely useless now.
Gu Yuan doesn't want this to happen.
After putting the beads into the wooden box, Gu Yuan sighed.
Gu Yuan didn’t know how long he had been here, but he knew that he wouldn’t have much time left.
When I first arrived at the Thunder God Village, I encountered the incident at the Thunder God Altar, and was then teleported to this vast desert by the system.
Gu Yuan only knew that he had been in the desert for nearly two months. Adding the time spent on missions, it probably took him more than three months to get here.
During these three months, Gu Yuan's strength also increased by three levels, because when he first arrived at Lei Shen Village, he was only a sixth-level spiritual master.
He also thought of someone: the pharmacist from Thunder God Village. He wondered what had become of the man he had communicated with back then. Gu Yuan felt a little sorry for him now. After all, they had entered the Thunder God Altar together. They had a brief friendship, but he had been transported away by the system at that time, unable to lend a hand.
"I hope he is still alive now." Guo Ran murmured with some regret.
Shuilong Village is located in the southeast of Gumo City, not far from Gumo City. It only took Gu Yuan half a day to reach this place.
Gu Yuan checked the map and confirmed that the small village in front of him was Shuilong Village. He walked forward and saw a small village in front of him. In the village, there were about ten dilapidated huts. It seemed that the quality of life of the people here was not particularly good, which could be seen from their living environment.
Outside the village, there are patches of turned land.
Apparently, these lands are used by them to grow vegetables and other things.
An old man was digging the soil with a hoe in his hand and throwing seeds into it. So Gu Yuan could guess what he was doing. He walked over to the old man and asked politely, "Old man, don't you know that this is Shuilong Village?"
The old man suddenly stopped while raising his hoe, then put it down, slowly turned around, looked at Gu Yuan, and asked, "Young man, what did you say? My ears are not very good. Please say it again."
Gu Yuan smiled, raised his voice, and said, "Old sir, I'd like to ask if this is Shuilong Village?"
The old man nodded, looked at Gu Yuan and said, "Yes, this is Shuilong Village. I wonder what you are doing here?"
Gu Yuan nodded and asked, "Old sir, I have a question for you. I came here to ask around. I wonder if there's a girl named Shui Yaoyao in your village. She's about sixteen or seventeen years old, very cute, with big, watery eyes. She's as cute and well-behaved as a porcelain doll. Is there such a girl in your village?"
Hearing Gu Yuan's question, the old man's eyes suddenly flashed with vigilance. He tightened his grip on the hoe and asked, "Young man, why are you asking this? You seem very unfamiliar. Are you from outside?"
Gu Yuan nodded and said, "Old sir, you are right. I came here from Gumo City. I came here specifically to inquire about a friend of mine. My friend disappeared some time ago, so I came here to ask if there is such a girl in your village."
