I Became an Old Man in My Leisure Time

Chapter 171 Features Water Spirit Essence, Hot Spring Water Slide

Compared to Gu Ke, who was observing with his divine mind, she was the cave dweller. These changes happened in her "body" and she felt them more clearly.

At this moment, she was "looking inward", and after a moment, she flashed outside.

Gu Ke picked up the two sleepy children in one hand and followed them out.

In the night wind and snow, the light in the valley was very dim, but it did not hinder the powerful people.

Well, the two children were still sleeping on him, trying hard to resist opening their eyes.

But it was good to stay up together just to wait for the New Year activities.

At this moment, the activities started. If they were not allowed to watch from the beginning, Xiaoman would definitely say something like "If you don't wake up, you will be beaten."

So, he leaned close to her ear: "Wake up, there will be glutinous rice balls on the first day of the New Year."

Xiaoman's ears moved, and he suddenly opened his eyelids: "Eat glutinous rice balls? What glutinous rice balls?"

On the other side, Xiao Ping'er heard her voice and woke up subconsciously.

When she opened her eyes, she found herself in Gu Ke's arms, shoulder to shoulder with Xiaoman, and she suddenly realized: No wonder it was so loud!

Reluctant to leave, she let her feet land on the ground, her body still leaning on him, without saying a word, anyway, Xiaoman would help her ask.

After Xiaoman opened her eyes, she was stunned for a moment, then scratched her head: "What did I say to eat just now?"

Gu Ke slapped her on the back of her pork meat: "It's past midnight, I'll cook you glutinous rice balls when I go back."

Xiaoman suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, that's it."

Gu Ke: "Okay, let's take a look at this year's New Year's activities, it only lasts one day."

The two children heard what he said and followed his sight. It was the top of Yulong Peak.

I saw stars, crystal clear as ice, and clouds and clouds rising from all directions of the valley and rushing to the top of the peak.

Then it condensed into a changing and fluctuating... large water mass, with waves rippling in the water mass.

A crystal clear water column fell from the bottom of the water mass, hitting a spring on the top of the peak, and flowed down layer by layer along the original mountain spring stream waterfall.

However, in this way, the water sources in various places increased by several times.

Several larger waterfalls made a dull thunderous sound, with a completely different momentum.

Xiaoman opened her mouth wide: "New Year's event, is this it?"

This time, Gu Ke hit her more smoothly: "That's the spiritual spring. If you want to get it out, you have to kill at least 20 blood ghosts."

The two children took a breath of cold air and understood it immediately.

Because he had said before that the cost of upgrading the roadside stall to level 9 was only about 30 blood ghosts.

Just activating the level 0 spiritual spring requires 10,000 units of soul source, which is comparable to two-thirds of the cost of upgrading the roadside stall to level 9, and ten times the cost of activating the most expensive livestock farm at present.

Is the spiritual spring effective? How could it be bad!

The livestock farm has no direct enhancement effect on the people in the valley, but the biggest miracle is to bring living things into the valley.

Moreover, the quality of newly born livestock is higher and higher. The fast-growing chickens, ducks, geese, fish, shrimps and crabs have been repeated many times and are stronger and more delicious than their ancestors.

The effect after consumption has long exceeded that of ordinary exotic grains, second only to the special crops of Xiantian that have been repeated for ten years.

But how long have these pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese, fish, shrimps and crabs been in the valley?

Gu Ke has not yet traded live livestock to the outside world because the improvement speed of animals is relatively slow.

At present, only the quality has been improved, and the species has not been changed. If they are thrown out for a few years, they will degenerate again.

Once their species change, he will bless them to Taiping Village, Liangshan Village, Xiongjiagou and other close forces as soon as possible.

At that time, these places have exotic grains and can afford to raise these livestock.

With exotic livestock, the efficiency of training entry-level warriors will double.

It is not impossible to provide second-round warriors. At most, it is more troublesome than precious medicine. It requires a lot of exotic livestock meat. If you just eat exotic grains, ordinary talents will not practice fast in the second round.

Precious medicine is something that can only be found by chance. Exotic livestock can be raised continuously with enough exotic food.

Compared with the extremely random precious medicine, artificial breeding and stable production of exotic livestock are the best choice for the production line to produce second-round masters.

Therefore, the livestock farm is not as "useless" as Gu Ke thought at the beginning. It is more like the "biological deep processing" of exotic food.

Or it can be said that exotic food is a prerequisite for exotic livestock.

From the livestock farm, the "former" most expensive commodity, to speculate on the new "most expensive commodity" Lingquan, what are the benefits of ten times? This is exciting to think about.

The two children didn't think so deeply at this moment, and they were attracted by the wonders in front of them.

Saranzhu, who closed his eyes and felt this "experience version" of Lingquan, finally opened his eyes and communicated with Gu Ke, the master of the house, with his mind.

After obtaining his permission, he began to adjust the cave.

There were not too big terrain changes in the mountain springs, streams and waterfalls of Yulong Peak, but they were more adaptable to the sudden increase in water volume.

Then the sparkling water ball on the top of the peak split into two, one large and one small.

The small one was less than one-tenth the size of the big one, and it quickly descended from the peak to the north of the foot of the mountain.

On the north side near the foot of the mountain, Saranzhu had transformed a stone cliff several feet wide with dozens of rock layers.

The small water ball just stopped at the highest point of the stone cliff, above a large stone pit.

A small water column fell from the small water ball and continuously poured water into the pit.

The misty water vapor rose up and came into contact with the air of the cold winter night, quickly condensing into a larger piece of water mist, spreading around like a veil.

After doing all this, Saranzhu looked at someone who had nothing to do: "I'll take Sister Bai down to soak in this warm spring, which will be very good for her."

She went back to the house and lifted the bamboo couch, and instantly appeared under the hot spring waterfall that was about to take shape.

Gu Ke also embraced the two children and floated down.

Where they were, under the cascading cliffs, the same bluestone rock formation formed a long strip of...hot spring pool.

Salanzhu placed Bai Suqing's bamboo couch in the middle of the pool, then turned her head and looked up.

A stream of crystal water flowed out from the top of the cliff, dancing happily on the cascading cliffs, bringing out layers of water curtains, and finally fell into the hot spring pool.

What followed was a large piece of warm and moist water mist, which fell on everyone's face and body.

It was called a small water mass, but in fact, compared with the large water mass on the top of the peak, the actual water output was quite considerable.

In just a moment, the more than two-foot-deep hot spring pool was almost full.

Bai Suqing, lying on the couch, was soaked in warm spring water from the neck down.

Salanzhu turned her head to look at the two children: "Why are you still standing there? Take off your clothes and soak in the hot spring."

As she said that, she had already untied her slightly moist outer robe and threw it to the branch next to her. She sat on the stone steps specially left on the edge in her small clothes and shorts.

Xiaoman suddenly came to her senses and immediately followed suit, untied her outer robe, and jumped into the pool wearing... half a cup and shorts, landing next to Saranzhu.

With a bang, the hot water splashed all over Saranzhu's face.

She was not annoyed, but just grabbed Xiaoman's waist and said hard: "You are making trouble, right? You are not ticklish, right? I will teach you a lesson."

The laughter of the two girls, which had just stopped for an hour, sounded again in the hot spring pool, and this time there was more splashing water.

Xiaoping'er reluctantly stepped away, took off her outer robe, and walked into the pool.

Compared with Xiaoman and Saranzhu, she was wearing more conservative clothes, the kind of long-sleeved old man's shirt and shorts that Gu Ke often wore.

She chose a place a little further away from the two childish ghosts, closer to Bai Suqing, so as not to be dragged into the "tug of war".

Gu Ke was the last one to enter the pool and sat down next to Xiao Ping'er. After all, the "Shaman Battle" was too intense.

Even if they did not use blood and energy, they also restrained most of their physical strength. If they approached within ten feet, they would be soaked in seconds.

The moment he immersed himself in the water, the pores of his whole body seemed to open, and the trickling hot current kept washing the surface of his body, which tasted extremely wonderful.

Spiritual spring characteristics: Water spirit essence +5, can melt the soul from the water, and nourish the living spirit.

Just based on this characteristic, the warm soup spiritual spring is more than just comfortable for Bai Suqing and the two children.

Instead, a system prompt appeared here for Gu Ke: "The first time you soak in the spiritual spring, the player will be rewarded - the characteristic of water control."

Even with Gu Ke's calmness now, he couldn't help but look sideways: What? It turned out that a characteristic was given directly!

This has never happened before.

So many system buildings before were just temporary characteristics within the system.

Salanzhu, who was playing with Xiao Ping'er over there, suddenly paused, turned her head, and then... was pressed into the water by Xiaoman.

Gu Ke understood that this was the new characteristic of water control that she shared.

She was in the water, and the feeling was more obvious.

So Xiaoman was unlucky after being proud for a moment.

Salanzhu easily threw her aside in the water, and immediately responded with a mountain of pressure.

Gu Ke turned his face aside, pretending not to see Xiaoman's dancing and struggling, and asked Xiao Ping'er beside him: "Do you feel the new characteristics?"

Xiao Ping'er's face was steamed red by the water vapor. Hearing this, she closed her eyes and felt it for a moment: "I feel that I am in this water a bit like the characteristics of eating wind, constantly absorbing some spiritual energy?"

Speaking of this, she looked at him with an inquiring look.

Gu Ke nodded: "This spiritual spring can condense water vapor and integrate trace amounts of soul source into the water vapor. Water is the mother of all things. Living things in it are like plants in the fairy field, absorbing more nutrients."

Xiao Ping'er nodded: This feeling is really a bit like her name, like duckweed in the water, constantly absorbing the soul source in the water.

Although the amount is not much, it is better to be endless.

The sunflower blood in the body has not increased significantly, but it has become clearer bit by bit.

This change will not make her strength soar, but it can raise the foundation of the body little by little, and become the foundation for a higher path.

By asking her, Gu Ke determined that only he had obtained the water control feature, which was not surprising.

When he enjoyed the system building feature, the biggest gain was in the first time, such as the first time he entered the bedroom, which greatly increased his mental resistance, and the subsequent effect was small.

The women continued to strengthen, but the martial arts they practiced could not compare with the Wuxiang Zhenjing.

It was like ordinary people, no matter whether they earned one hundred or one thousand a day, could not compare with the increase of hundreds of millions of a billionaire a day.

The water was rippling, and the heat was faint. The five people sat or lay down, or quietly or noisily enjoyed the New Year's time of warm soup on a snowy night.

There was nothing to do in winter, and the next morning, everyone continued the journey of warm soup.

Although this spiritual spring is good, it is a trial version after all, and it is only one day.

If you don't take the time to soak enough, I'm afraid it will take several months for the next time.

The roadside stall has reached level 8, and it is only one step away from level 9, and the second targeted stall is converted every month.

From the perspective of improving the efficiency of soul source acquisition, it is also the most cost-effective to upgrade the roadside stall first.

Of course, the ultimate purpose of obtaining soul source is to upgrade the cave and make life better for everyone in the valley.

The 10-level roadside stall costs a lot and takes one or two years. You can wait until the spiritual spring is activated to accumulate slowly.

After all, the benefits of the spiritual spring are more than just a little bit.

It is not a simple mountain spring river, but the free water in the entire cave, all of which are controlled by the "spiritual spring", a system creation.

Once activated, the entire valley is moisturized by the spiritual spring.

Water is everywhere, so as long as you are within the system range, you can get the water spirit essence +5 characteristic blessing, and you don’t need to be completely immersed in water.

The objects of this nourishment are not only Gu Ke and his people, but also the animals and plants in the valley.

They are not like humans, who can speed up their improvement by practicing martial arts.

The pergola characteristic of eating wind and drinking dew, and the spiritual spring characteristic of water spirit essence are their few ways to break through their original "talents".

Especially the ten-mile radius of the grassland attached to the livestock farm is the largest "blessed land" outside the fairy field.

Other valleys within the scope of non-system buildings can only enjoy a small amount of soul source dissipated by the land and water vapor, and transform little by little.

The difference between the two may be several times more than that.

The above are the most obvious benefits after activating the spiritual spring.

In addition, there is another point, that is, after having the spiritual spring, the water spirit ball, the main core of the spiritual spring, that is, the two water balls on the top of Yulong Peak and the hot spring waterfall, can store a huge amount of water, absorb and discharge water, and form a basically lossless internal circulation in the cave.

The mansion spirit Saranzhu can also adjust the speed of water intake and discharge.

Release water here, then collect water in the downstream of the river in the valley, and release it again from the water spirit ball.

Relatively speaking, Saranzhu's adjustment of the warm soup spiritual spring is another "abuse of public power for personal gain".

Without this warm soup, everyone will soak in the river directly, and the characteristics of the water spirit essence +5 will not change at all.

But this morning, Xiaoman and Saranzhu took off their outer robes, and inside was a one-piece swimsuit.

Xiaoman did not resist at all, anyway, the half cup and shorts she wore were not bigger than the new swimsuit.

Xiaoping'er was a little shy, wearing a swimsuit with a skirt inside.

Of course, this was found by Saranzhu from the clothes that Gu Ke had recorded in Wendian.

In Gu Ke's eyes, her arms and legs were like jade lotus roots, and her breasts were like silver plates.

Xiaoman, who had long been worthy of the name "Taiman", was jumping in the water, stirring up turbulent waves.

Xiaoping'er, who was as white and tender as scallion, was quiet and elegant.

Saranzhu had broad shoulders, narrow waist and plump hips, and her figure was like the most graceful white horse.

The only one who was as calm as before was Bai Suqing, who was still wearing a sky-blue long skirt, like a sleeping green lotus lying quietly in the pond.

Someone knew who the new palace spirit had taken advantage of and who he had helped for his own benefit, and he could not say against his will that he had done nothing good, so he could only accept it silently with a smile.

(Note: Speechless, the last chapter title had "the first one", but it was reviewed overnight before being released. I was afraid of misunderstanding, so I didn't dare to use "the first time".

Alas, read it and cherish it.)
