“Try it!”
He Xiuyuan sensed the thick Qi.
He wanted to draw this Qi down, but the power of the Qi remained motionless above.
He Xiuyuan thought for a moment, then transformed the brush at his waist into a whisk, and then performed the decree technique.
As the decree technique was used, He Xiuyuan was able to hook the ball of Qi with his whisk.
“Closer, the power of this Qi… so strong…”
He Xiuyuan’s gaze fell upon the Qi in front of him, surprised by the vast power contained within it once it was brought closer.
However, with such immense power here, it was just right.
He Xiuyuan flicked the whisk in his hand, used it to tap the Qi, and then directed the Qi to fall towards the bottom of the waterfall.
Then, He Xiuyuan used the Water Manipulation Technique to compress the entire turbulent waterfall towards a single point.
“Go!”
He Xiuyuan pressed down on the Qi, and his entire body followed the momentum downwards, intending to compress the water flowing from the waterfall into a single drop.
As He Xiuyuan's body descended, countless waterfall waters, under compression, gradually began to merge into a single drop.
However, as He Xiuyuan’s body descended, more and more water merged into this water drop, and He Xiuyuan began to feel an extremely strong resistance.
It was as if something was resisting He Xiuyuan from continuing to descend.
Seeing this, He Xiuyuan immediately tapped the Qi with his whisk, allowing it to fall with the momentum.
As the power within the Qi was revealed, the enormous resistance from before instantly vanished.
After a few minutes, He Xiuyuan slowly landed on the Pond.
And beneath the Pond, there appeared a water drop that looked no different from its surroundings.
However, this water drop was suspended above the Pond, appearing somewhat peculiar.
He Xiuyuan reached out to take it.
The next moment, He Xiuyuan felt his palm sink.
This water drop was quite heavy.
But…
He Xiuyuan looked at the water drop in his hand, pondering for a moment, but felt that this water drop seemed to be still not enough.
Just now, the amount of water that had merged into it did not seem to be particularly much.
After thinking for a moment, He Xiuyuan used the Water Manipulation Technique to quickly shoot out the water drop.
The next moment, the water drop hit a large rock nearby, but it only caused cracks in the rock.
“Indeed… not enough.”
He Xiuyuan understood from this that the amount of water integrated into this water drop was not particularly large.
The amount of water contained in the water drop in his hand, he estimated, was probably only a few hundred catties.
“Continue refining.”
Thinking that he had not yet reached the limit when refining this water drop just now, He Xiuyuan immediately sat down to restore his Spiritual Qi, and after recovering, he would continue to refine this water drop.
As long as the weight of this water drop is condensed to over ten thousand catties, it would be equivalent to the weight of a Golden Cudgel.
If it were refined to tens of thousands of catties, that would be even more incredible.
As for the weight of tens of thousands of catties, given He Xiuyuan’s current body, he naturally could not lift it.
But after Cultivating last night, He Xiuyuan’s understanding of the Water Manipulation Technique deepened by another level.
And this water drop was refined using his Water Manipulation Technique, plus He Xiuyuan’s Water Manipulation Technique had greatly improved last night.
Therefore, He Xiuyuan was able to easily control this water drop.
Once He Xiuyuan’s Spiritual Qi recovered, he would again use the Water Manipulation Technique to refine the water drop.
After another session, the water drop in his hand became several hundred catties heavier.
At this rate, if He Xiuyuan wanted to refine a water drop weighing over ten thousand catties, it would probably require dozens of such repeated refinements.
Although this process consumed a lot of Spiritual Qi and mental energy.
But being able to refine this water drop little by little, He Xiuyuan was still enjoying it.
After several attempts, the distant sun slowly set, and He Xiuyuan was also quite exhausted.
Seeing this, He Xiuyuan walked to the large rock he had been sleeping on lately and lay down directly.
The Little Panda, at some point, had also picked some fruits and returned.
Seeing He Xiuyuan return, it immediately held a fruit and walked over, then handed it to He Xiuyuan, signaling him to eat.
He Xiuyuan, seeing this, weakly took the fruit, and while eating, he spoke, “You little fellow, have you gained enlightenment? You actually know how to curry favor with me now.”
He Xiuyuan bit into the fruit, his gaze falling on the Little Panda beside him.
And the Little Panda, hearing He Xiuyuan’s words, seemed to understand vaguely, turned around, and went back to hug its fruit and began to munch on it.
After He Xiuyuan ate the fruit and recovered a little strength, he sat up and fished a fish out of the Pond.
After learning the Water Manipulation Technique, it was easy for He Xiuyuan to catch fish in the Pond.
Once the fire was lit, He Xiuyuan prepared the fish, skewered it, and began to grill it.
A moment later, a rich aroma of grilled fish began to waft out.
Once the grilled fish was cooked, He Xiuyuan tore open the fish skin and took a small bite.
The fresh and tender taste of fish immediately overflowed from between his teeth.
The fish here tasted much better than in other places.
Perhaps it was also because of this waterfall, which constantly carried Spiritual Qi down throughout the year.
These fish, when subjected to the impact of the waterfall, made their bodies firmer and also benefited greatly from the washing of Spiritual Qi.
However, under these circumstances, it was still impossible for them to Cultivate and achieve the Dao.
Compared to other places, the fish population here could be said to have a unique and favorable environment, but also for this reason, they seemed to have cut off their path to Cultivate.
Thinking of this, He Xiuyuan ate the grilled fish in his hand while looking at the fish in the Pond, feeling a little emotional.
The Little Panda nearby moved over at this moment and handed another fruit.
He Xiuyuan casually drew water from the Pond, rinsed it, and then ate the grilled fish, occasionally biting into the fruit.
Looking at the Little Panda beside him, he couldn’t help but say.
“Look, these fish, they feel the Spiritual Qi carried down by this waterfall, and they feel that they can gain many benefits from being washed by this waterfall.”
“But after gaining these benefits, they have no other thoughts, only caring about enjoying the washing of this Spiritual Qi here.”
“But other demons, although they don’t have such conditions, through some Opportunities, they will also instinctively absorb Spiritual Qi.”
“After trying it once, they will then use various methods to continue absorbing Spiritual Qi.”
“Some demons, in their ignorance, cannot find the way, but some demons can, and eventually, they will gain some Dao.”
“And the fish here, they will only accept the washing of this Spiritual Qi, but they will not look for other ways, and in the end…”
He Xiuyuan shook his head as he spoke.
This was the result He Xiuyuan had observed after spending more than half a month at this Pond.
From He Xiuyuan’s current perspective, he could see that the fish in this place would never even be able to gain intelligence throughout their lives.
Like the old turtle from before, even though it did not have a Cultivation Technique, by relying on its own ignorant Cultivate and exploration, it was able to speak human words and Cultivate some Dao.
