Chapter 31 Unexpected Discovery of a Water Source
Venerable Hesong brought Yao Song, the chief steward of the city lord's mansion. Yao Song's cultivation was at the eighth level of the Asking Heaven Realm. He was a loyal follower of Venerable Hesong and had strong management skills.
After arriving at the Great Abyss Sea, Yu Shan, based on the general appearance of the bamboo tower seawater distillation apparatus she had seen in a documentary about Blue Star, had the mechanical prince Mao Li draw a three-dimensional diagram for Yao Song.
Manager Yao then selected craftsmen from among the prisoners to build a bamboo tower seawater distiller, which collected enough fresh water for irrigation.
He then directed the strong and able-bodied prisoners to follow the feather fan to clear the wasteland.
Given the scarcity of spiritual energy, Yu Shan dared not use his spiritual power to clear the land, so these mortal prisoners were the perfect choice to dig.
Now that Xiao Bao is back, with his powerful metal-attribute mutant beast, we can obtain enough liquid metal from the surrounding barren mountains and deserts.
Furthermore, based on the three-dimensional mechanical drawings designed by the two mechanical beings, Chestnut and Panda, suitable for pioneering, a batch of pioneering machines suitable for mortals to operate were produced.
With the help of the exploration machine, the exploration speed has become much faster.
Six months after Yu Shan and his group arrived on the Dust Continent, tens of thousands of acres of wasteland had been reclaimed on the land surrounding the Great Abyss Sea.
If they had access to freshwater, they could have reclaimed even more wasteland.
With the seawater still, the constantly evaporating seawater can be retained, and the water level of the Great Ocean Sea has not dropped for three consecutive months.
The reclaimed wasteland was sprinkled with a layer of nutrient-rich volcanic ash, and then wild vegetables and grasses were sown.
When sowing the seeds, Feather Fan also deliberately scattered some seeds of mutant plants, some of which were moderately irradiated.
Then she was surprised to find that after these moderately irradiated seeds germinated and grew, the radiation level gradually decreased until it dropped to zero.
She realized that as long as the stars were at the right distance, a high-radiation environment would not be created.
Even if the seeds themselves carry radiation, they will gradually grow into low-radiation plants under the influence of a low-radiation environment.
Compared to ordinary wild grass and vegetable seeds, these moderately irradiated mutant seeds are more resilient and have a higher survival rate.
The opposite is true for the spiritual plant seeds; the vast majority of them cannot survive here at all, so Yu Shan could only temporarily seal the spiritual plant seeds he brought.
The only exception is Xianxian from Nie Xiaoxiao's family.
After Xianxian cast countless healing spells on the spirit lamp and absorbed a lot of wood and earth spirit beads found in the volcanic ash, she finally recovered.
Nie Xiaoxiao also recovered her health. At first, she was full of guilt and was dejected all day long.
But soon, she regained her energy and took her fairy to wander around the newly cleared wasteland, where the fairy planted countless small branches around the wasteland.
These smaller branches have almost no intelligence, but they can sense Xianxian's commands and have become the guardians of the newly reclaimed land.
In this arid environment, the fairy plant, whose true form is a cactus thorn, can still thrive even without absorbing spiritual energy.
Because it is a drought- and heat-resistant plant.
On this day, Xiao Bao and Ling Deng finally found a quiet place to cultivate together.
This is a wasteland waiting to be cultivated. Not far away, in the area enclosed by a stone fence, lush green wild vegetables have already grown.
Xiao Bao casually set up a simple soundproof barrier and began to cultivate with the spirit lamp.
This is something they've both been quite enthusiastic about lately, because following the guidance in the dual cultivation manual, cultivating together is twice as effective.
Of course, for these two young people who are just beginning to experience pleasure, the enjoyment of dual cultivation is the most important thing.
At this moment, Xiao Bao couldn't help but pull her into his arms and whisper in her ear:
"Little Lantern, how about we try the moves on page 56 today? I feel like they'll give us an unprecedented experience."
"No, no, this movement looks very difficult." Lingdeng shook his head decisively.
“This move is a bit difficult for ordinary humans. But you are a Thousand-Threaded Jellyfish, your flexibility far exceeds that of ordinary people. I believe in you, you can definitely do it, okay?” Xiao Bao pleaded.
"Alright, alright, I'm scared of you, come on! But I'm warning you, if you tire me out, I'll make you fast for three months!" Spirit Lamp finally gave in.
The effects of dual cultivation were indeed very good. Before long, the barrier was filled with spiritual energy, and the spirit lamp could clearly feel the spiritual energy flowing in its meridians, almost turning into spiritual liquid.
Xiao Bao was the same; his spiritual power was surging like a tide. If he didn't control it properly, the golden spiritual power that was released would turn into several golden blades, which would rampage around him.
Several of the golden blades pierced through the ground and penetrated deep underground.
Such things happened frequently during their dual cultivation, and neither of them took them seriously.
But today, after these golden blades pierced deep into the ground, a stream of water suddenly burst through the surface and gushed out.
The water line burst open, turning into sprays that landed on both of them.
"Water, water gushing from underground, and it's fresh water!" Spirit Lamp exclaimed excitedly.
In the Dust Continent, the preciousness of groundwater resources is self-evident, and Xiao Bao couldn't help but get excited.
At the same time, Nie Xiaoxiao was strolling around the newly opened wasteland with her Xianxian when suddenly, Xianxian excitedly said, "Master, I can sense a faint fluctuation of water spiritual energy underground not far ahead."
Plants are most sensitive to fluctuations in water energy, and the Fairy Cactus is a drought-resistant cactus. In addition to its root system, every leaf of its plant can absorb and store water.
Xianxian's sensitivity to water elemental energy far surpasses that of her master, Nie Xiaoxiao.
The isolation barrier set up by Xiao Bao was naturally to isolate the spiritual energy fluctuations that he emitted when he was cultivating with the spirit lamp.
However, this barrier cannot isolate the spiritual energy fluctuations emitted by the flow of groundwater.
When Nie Xiaoxiao and Xianxian rushed over, they ran right into the barrier set up by Xiaobao.
"Hey! Who's got nothing better to do than set up a barrier in this desolate place? Do they have so much spiritual energy they don't know what to do with it?" Nie Xiaoxiao complained.
Hearing her shouts, Xiao Bao, who was inside the barrier, jumped up in fright and quickly put on his robe.
Lingdeng, however, remained calm and unhurried, putting on his underwear and then slowly putting on his outer robe.
Xianxian couldn't wait any longer and directly pierced the barrier with the immortal thorn.
The next second, the barrier shattered, revealing Xiao Bao, who was blushing, and Ling Deng, who looked completely calm.
