Perhaps it was because the water droplet in his hand showed promise of being refined, He Xiuyuan was in a great mood at this moment.
He spoke a lot to Little Panda, and even shared some insights about his Cultivation last night.
Little Panda didn't know if it heard anything, but it just stayed quietly by He Xiuyuan's side.
After finishing a roasted fish, He Xiuyuan lay back down on the stone.
The mist from the nearby waterfall was automatically isolated once He Xiuyuan lay down, not affecting his rest in the slightest.
The next day.
After He Xiuyuan woke up, he immediately began to refine the water droplet in his hand.
With the first day's refinement, He Xiuyuan's subsequent refinements became very smooth.
However, as He Xiuyuan continuously refined, the power of the mass of Qi he used began to weaken.
Looking at this, after He Xiuyuan refines it a few dozen more times, this mass of Qi will also disappear.
In that case, He Xiuyuan would not be able to infinitely refine this water droplet.
And under He Xiuyuan's refining, time passed day by day, and the weight of the water droplet in He Xiuyuan's hand also began to increase continuously.
........
“Bang!”
A dull sound abruptly rang out on the ground.
Following the source of the sound, one could see a small hole had suddenly appeared on the previously flat ground.
And inside the small hole, a tiny water droplet lay quietly.
It looked as if there was nothing particularly eye-catching about it.
However, if one looked closely at this water droplet, in a trance, it seemed possible to see a constantly churning sea, or perhaps a long river, within this tiny water droplet.
Such a miraculous sight made this water droplet seem a bit extraordinary.
He Xiuyuan stood by, extended his finger, and pointed at the water droplet; the water droplet flew up and came to He Xiuyuan's side.
He Xiuyuan looked at the floating water droplet in front of him, his gaze fixed on its depths.
At the very beginning, this condensed water droplet didn't have such an anomaly.
Only after he condensed more and more water into this water droplet did some anomalies begin to appear within it.
If one listened quietly next to this water droplet, one could even hear the sound of water gurgling inside.
The longer one listened, the louder the sound of the water became.
“It's finally condensed.”
He Xiuyuan admired the water droplet in his hand, a look of emotion on his face.
Over the past few days, he had been exhausted every single day.
Moreover, this trace of Qi was almost used up.
As for the area above the Great Marsh, He Xiuyuan had carefully sensed it, and there was no longer any Qi there.
This thing was also a consumable; once used up, it was gone.
In addition, the more the water droplet was condensed later on, the more Qi was consumed.
By now, the remaining trace of Qi was completely insufficient to support the next refinement.
He Xiuyuan thought for a moment, then put this trace of Qi into his gourd.
Perhaps it could be useful in the future.
He Xiuyuan's gaze fell on the water droplet again, and he used the Water Manipulation Technique.
The water droplet swiftly flew out at this moment, then slammed hard against the rock in front.
“Puff!”
A faint sound came, and a small hole immediately appeared on the incredibly hard rock.
And the water droplet passed directly through the rock, appearing very effortless.
“What a treasure!”
He Xiuyuan retracted his sword-finger, and the water droplet immediately flew back, smoothly entering the gourd.
“This counts as having developed a powerful Spell.”
Although He Xiuyuan had never witnessed other Cultivators making a move, he felt that...
When his Dao Cultivation increased in the future, he could continue to refine this water droplet.
If one day, the weight of the refined water droplet could reach hundreds of millions of catties, tens of billions of catties...
It would probably be very, very powerful!
Thinking of this, He Xiuyuan couldn't help but feel a little excited.
“Rest for a night, and tomorrow I should go to other places to look for Biluo Temple.”
He Xiuyuan arrived above the Sky Abyss.
The starry sky up there was the most beautiful, especially the large expanse of lake water on the Sky Abyss.
At night, because the Sky Abyss was already the highest peak, there were no other peaks blocking the view around it.
Looking out, the lake water reflected the starlight, as if the heaven and earth had merged into one.
Above was the starlight, below was the sea of stars.
It was like that line in poetry:
Drunk, unaware that the sky is in the water, a boat full of clear dreams pressing down on the Milky Way.
He Xiuyuan took a piece of driftwood and lay on it.
Above was the Milky Way, below was also the Milky Way, and sipping a few mouthfuls of peach blossom wine, how delightful!
Hmm?
Something seemed wrong.
He Xiuyuan was drinking peach blossom wine, enjoying the unparalleled beauty of the moment, when his heart suddenly jolted, remembering what the old Dragon had said: “Water and sky are one color.”
“Here, it seems to be exactly ‘water and sky are one color,’ right?”
Thinking of this, He Xiuyuan suddenly stood up.
Looking out, the end of the lake in front merged perfectly with the heaven and earth, making it impossible to distinguish the boundary between them.
“It really seems to be!”
Before, when he came up here and admired the beautiful scenery, he only thought of refining the water droplet, but he forgot about this matter.
Now, on the last night, it was fortunate that he came up here.
He Xiuyuan's eyes showed joy, and then he immediately used Water Manipulation Technique towards the end of the lake.
The Biluo Temple he was looking for was in the direction of the Great Marsh, so he needed to use Water Manipulation Technique to the end of the lake, then face the Great Marsh direction, and see if the lake could provide any clues.
A moment later, He Xiuyuan arrived at the end of the lake, then looked out.
The sea of stars merged with the calm surface of the water.
Among these bright stars, the most eye-catching should be the Big Dipper in the sky.
Although he didn't understand why this world also had the Big Dipper.
When the Big Dipper in the sky and the Big Dipper on the water surface were seen as one at this moment, it seemed to point exactly to a certain direction in the Great Marsh.
He Xiuyuan thought about this, then took out a map to examine it carefully, and then compared it with the scene in front of him.
Following the pointers on the water surface, He Xiuyuan cross-referenced the map and quickly found a clue on the map of the Great Marsh.
“So that's how it is....”
He Xiuyuan looked down at the map, lightly tapped it with his finger, and a look of relief immediately appeared on his face.
If this 'water and sky are one color' was correct, and the Big Dipper's guidance was also correct, then Biluo Temple should be here.
“Rest for a night, and set off tomorrow!”
After confirming his target, He Xiuyuan immediately relaxed.
It wouldn't be good to visit someone late at night; it would be better to visit them early tomorrow morning.
Thinking of this, He Xiuyuan continued to lie on the driftwood from before and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day.
When the distant morning sun rose, He Xiuyuan washed up, changed into clean clothes, and then descended the Sky Abyss.
“Little fellow, I'm leaving. Do you want to come with me?”
He Xiuyuan came before Little Panda, seeing how truly adorable this little fellow was, and wanted to keep it by his side.
Little Panda raised its head upon hearing this, looked at He Xiuyuan with a somewhat bewildered expression, then blinked its eyes.
He Xiuyuan saw that Little Panda couldn't speak, so he immediately reached out and scooped Little Panda into his arms, walking outwards.
Little Panda didn't realize anything at first.
After He Xiuyuan had walked a bit further, Little Panda seemed to sense something, immediately struggled, then broke free from He Xiuyuan's embrace and jumped straight down.
He Xiuyuan paused his steps, looked at Little Panda, “You don't want to leave with me?”
Little Panda seemed a bit hesitant upon hearing this, looking at He Xiuyuan, then looking back, as if it couldn't bear to part with its freedom.
But for some reason, a voice deep inside seemed to be telling it that if it didn't leave with He Xiuyuan, it would regret it.
He Xiuyuan watched Little Panda remain still for a long time, then shook his head and sighed, “Since you can't bear to part with your freedom, then I won't take you.”
With that, He Xiuyuan turned and left.
It seemed he wasn't very popular with these little creatures.
Before, he asked the crane if it wanted to come with him, and the crane refused.
Now this Little Panda also refused.
Little Panda stood in place, watching He Xiuyuan's figure gradually fade into the distance, feeling an inexplicable emptiness in its heart.
