Chapter 119 Too weak to absorb nourishment, alas... (1/2)

Yan Yu opened his palm.

Five shiny stones lay in his calloused palm.

A cool, refreshing energy was seeping into his skin, giving him goosebumps all over.

He was familiar with this thing.

When he first formed a pact with the young girl, she used one of those items, and he would never forget the overwhelming power it had given him.

But he never expected that this precious thing could be used to irrigate the land.

His mind works incredibly fast.

This land is really strange; no matter how much water you pour in, it seems to disappear without a trace.

Ruan Tang said that there are "elemental mineral veins" underground.

Therefore, it needs to be "fed" with something of the same energy to keep it alive.

He understood the logic.

A thought, like a black lightning bolt, suddenly exploded in his mind!

His muscles tensed instantly!

He clenched his fist tightly, the hard stone digging painfully into his palm, but he was completely unaware of it.

The next second, he suddenly turned his head, his eyes fixed on Ruan Tang beside him.

That look in his eyes was no longer the tenderness that could spoil someone to death.

Instead, it was the gaze of a post-apocalyptic wolf fixed on the only chance of survival, filled with undisguised possessiveness and an absolute thirst for power!

"Tangtang".

He suddenly crouched down, his tall figure instantly enveloping Ruan Tang in his shadow, preventing even light from getting in.

A scorching breath hit me.

His voice was extremely low, hoarse and urgent to the point that he himself was unaware of.

"If you use this to soak in water for a bath... will your cultivation progress even faster?"

Ruan Tang was tilting her head, curiously looking at the nearly dead, crooked trees, when she was suddenly stunned by his aggressive question.

Her large, almond-shaped eyes suddenly widened, and she stared blankly at Yan Yu.

Wash, take a bath?

Bathing with elemental stones?

Her little head went blank for a moment, as if "buzzing".

Yes, how could she not have thought of that?

In the world of cultivation, soaking in spiritual springs can increase one's cultivation level. Soaking water in this stuff is practically the same as using an artificial spiritual spring, isn't it?

This offer is damn tempting!

Taking a bath with elemental stones means being enveloped in energy from every angle, right? It's definitely much more efficient than meditating alone!

but……

Ruan Tang's brows furrowed instantly.

no!

She carefully recalled her cultivation technique, "Green Vine Cloud Mist Technique," whose core principle was water nourishing wood, and wood nurturing water. It emphasized gentle nourishment and required a slow and steady approach.

Using such potent elemental stones isn't like taking a bath; it's like throwing yourself into a pot of boiling oil to fry!

Having figured it out, she shook her head with a look of regret.

She reached out her soft little hand and gently poked his arm, which was as strong as a rock.

"Brother, no, that won't do."

Her voice was soft and sweet, with a hint of coquetry: "My little body can't handle strong tonics, it'll just explode with a 'bang'."

Seeing that the fire in his eyes hadn't subsided, she changed the subject, her eyes sparkling with a slyness like a little fox.

"However, once we cultivate this land properly and the mineral veins are activated, the spiritual energy in the entire space will become denser!"

"At that time, our cultivation techniques might even be upgraded!"

The fire in Yan Yu's eyes finally subsided.

He was too hasty.

His post-apocalyptic habits made him always want to achieve his goals in one step and become stronger in the most savage way, but he forgot that the little girl in his arms was still a seedling that needed careful nurturing.

He nodded and carefully put the five stones away.

He reached out again and pulled Ruan Tang from the stool into his arms, holding her tightly.
