Chapter 188 Lingquan Reservoir, Totem Pole Transformation Completed

During the New Year event, everyone had experienced the taste of the spiritual spring. The hot spring pool modified by Saranzhu and the dedicated waterway are still there.

Therefore, after the spiritual spring was officially activated, she did not need to make too many adjustments. There were still two water spirit balls, one large and one small.

The large one was located on the top of Yulong Peak, high up and down.

The turbulent water rushed down and poured into dozens of waterfalls of various sizes and shapes on the thousand-foot peak.

They were originally only a trickle and became majestic again. The dull roar like thunder could be heard at the foot of the mountain, and it was quite dense.

Gu Ke frowned: This situation is indeed spectacular to watch, but it is too noisy and uncomfortable for daily life.

Saranzhu knew the problem as soon as she saw his expression, and the terrain of the waterfall was fine-tuned again.

The dense and dull roar quickly weakened, and finally became vague, like a distant background sound.

Gu Ke's brows relaxed and he nodded in praise: "Well done, it's much better now."

Salanzhu made a face at him: "You are the hardest master to serve. If you don't do it better, you will glare at me every day."

Gu Ke glared at her with understanding: "Is that how you glare?"

She laughed, grabbed Xiaoman, turned around and flew towards the hot spring pool: "Wow, master, you are so generous! Slip, slip."

...

The process of hot spring water washing and gelling is needless to say.

Unlike the last experience card which has a time limit, the officially activated spiritual spring is there, flowing continuously and never running dry.

In the first few days, everyone went there almost every day. After the novelty wore off, it was just another new enjoyment in the valley.

What is really important is the other effects of the spiritual spring on the cave.

After the experiment, Salanzhu told Gu Ke that the level 0 spiritual spring can store 1 million tons (1 million cubic meters) of water in the water spirit ball, which is equal to a cube with a length, width and height of more than 33 feet, just touching the edge of a small reservoir.

While storing water, the water spirit ball will flow in and out at the same time, so that the water in the cave can circulate.

The water in the flowing waterfalls, rivers, lakes, and ponds in the cave does not belong to the water storage of the spiritual spring, so the actual water storage capacity in the valley is far more than one million tons.

In the process of flowing in and out, the spiritual spring will purify and add trace soul sources to nourish the land and plants and animals in the entire cave.

After seeking his consent, Saranzhu expanded and deepened the two large lakes again.

The extra soil and rocks from deepening the two lakes were moved to the lakeside to form embankments, further increasing the volume of the two lakes.

The pitiful water storage capacity of the water spirit ball is only a few tens of times that of the two lakes, both of which have a diameter of more than four miles. They are the real super reservoirs of the cave.

Such a large water storage capacity has many benefits.

The lake dedicated to chickens, ducks, geese, fish, shrimps, and crabs is planted with various aquatic plants that have been traded from the East China Sea and Nanye.

In addition to the lotus root obtained at the earliest, the rest include water celery, wild rice stem, water chestnut, water chestnut, water chestnut, water shield, and water cattail.

These aquatic plants can be used as a partial feed source for fish, shrimps, and crabs, and can also be used as vegetables and snacks for Gu Ke and his team.

Although the variety cannot be compared with terrestrial crops, it is more worry-free.

Except for the initial cultivation and expansion of the population, and then thrown into the lakes and rivers in the valley bottom plain, Gu Ke rarely cares about them.

It's just that every time when it's harvested, a batch is collected as a side dish for meals.

After all, there is no water in the fairy field, and it is very troublesome to cultivate a large number of aquatic plants.

The aquatic vegetables produced are cultivated in the fairy field for a period of time. If they can become heterogeneous, they will be thrown into the lake with fixed optimization effects.

If they can't become heterogeneous, there is no need to waste time and throw them into the lake to reproduce on their own.

It's different with the spiritual spring.

Although the soul source it provides is very small, it is mild, harmless and easy to absorb.

Every time animals and plants absorb water, they will absorb a part of it in their bodies.

Gu Ke and his men are very strong and don't care about the almost non-existent soul source, but the effect on ordinary plants and animals is very obvious.

Even if they are not in the fairy field, the plants and animals in the valley will improve their quality little by little and move closer to the alien species.

Especially aquatic plants and fish, shrimps and crabs that are always in the water, the improvement speed is the fastest.

If you are lucky, you can become an alien species in three to five years, and if you are unlucky, you can still succeed in thirty to fifty years, without Gu Ke cultivating them one by one.

And with the palace spirit of Saranzhu, it is not difficult to harvest aquatic crops in batches with divine thoughts.

As Gu Ke's Wuxiang Zhenjing level increases, the strength and controllability of her divine thoughts will increase, and the harvest will be faster.

As for the other big lake, it is a special "swimming pool" for Saranzhu and the two children.

The output is secondary, the main thing is to give them a good place to play.

Saranzhu once again "used public tools for private purposes", adjusted some system awnings, and made a winding corridor on the lake.

The corridor leads to a mini island in the center of the lake, which is right next to the two-in-one platform for jumping and paddling built by Gu Ke.

The island is only a few acres in size, and at the highest point is a small pavilion with plenty of sunlight, where you can enjoy the lake breeze blowing from all directions without any obstruction.

At the lower part is a huge old banyan tree, with a trunk that can be hugged by several people, with green shades and rust-brown aerial roots hanging down.

To the water's edge is a two-step stone platform, with tables, chairs, coffee tables and parasols placed on the level slightly above the lake surface.

After playing in the water and getting ashore, you can rest in the sun there.

Lie down on the step slightly below the lake surface, and you can enjoy the treatment of soaking in the cool lake water without swimming.

With the spiritual spring, the hot spring pool and the lake water are just different in cold and hot, and the effect of the characteristic blessing is the same.

It has also become a place where everyone takes a daily rest in the afternoon this summer.

Bai Suqing will also be put in the pavilion to enjoy the environment full of spiritual spring water on the island in the middle of the lake.

Blessed by the characteristics of dining wind and drinking dew, her body will absorb a large amount of water spirit energy from the spiritual spring, which is of great benefit to Sister Bai who is inconvenient to eat after entering samadhi.

Anyway, when she is deeply in trance, she will automatically block out the many "noises" created by Salanzhu and Xiaoman, so that they cannot disturb her.

Xiaoman held a large handful of lotus pods and water chestnuts and peeled them quickly with both hands. There were pink lotus seeds in the green lotus pods, but when the water-red water chestnuts were peeled off, they revealed white fruits.

The little girl took turns stuffing them into her and Gu Ke's mouths, eating them happily.

The empty lotus pods and water chestnut leaves were crushed into pieces and thrown into the water from a distance.

In this way, the current will carry them to the large lake downstream and become food for fish, shrimps and crabs.

Gu Ke was half-lying on the bamboo couch, reading the book in his hand, and unknowingly stuffed a lot of lotus seeds and water chestnuts into his mouth.

He didn't come back to his senses until Xiao Ping'er and Salanzhu came over from the verandah with food in their hands, chatting and laughing.

Feeling the slight lack of food, he glared at Xiao Man: "How much did you feed me?"

Water chestnuts are known as water nuts. The starch content of ordinary water chestnuts is more than 20% and the fat content is 3%.

This water chestnut variety in Dongfu has not yet been promoted, but its quality is excellent, with a starch content of more than 30% and a fat content of 5%.

In short, it makes you feel full after eating it.

This guy was endless, filling her and Gu Ke's stomachs with starch. No wonder they didn't feel hungry.

Xiaoman blinked innocently: "Just a little." As he said that, he peeled off another water chestnut and stuffed it into his mouth.

Well, you are really worth a billion points. Gu Ke was speechless and grabbed her cheek: "Let's go and eat. I'll see if you can still hold three big bowls."

Xiaoman heard this and geared up: "Are you going to compete to see who eats more?"

"Haha." Gu Ke glanced at her coldly: If it weren't for the fear of making your belly swell into a ball, who would be afraid of the competition?

With the Sutra of Formlessness, there is no limit to his actual "eating capacity". He just eats too much and does not feel hungry and cannot enjoy the pleasure of eating.

At this point, Xiao Man is too persistent.

Even if you are full, you still have a strong desire for food.

If she wasn't already a martial arts sect, the food within the cave would be digested and absorbed very quickly, and she would have to hold her stomach for at least an hour or two every day.

It was June, and it was hot in the middle of summer. Although everyone was not afraid of the cold and heat, they also had a relatively light lunch.

The cold diced lotus root tastes slightly cool and crisp, and the sweet, sour and spicy flavor goes well with rice.

Garlic cucumber, still sweet and sour spicy.

Grilled eggplant with garlic paste, this one is no longer sweet and sour.

Home-style stir-fried pork, specially harvested early green and red peppers with potato slices, pork belly with tenderloin.

After being stir-fried over high heat, the potato slices are golden and soft, with a layer of purple close to the skin. The green and red peppers are dry-fried to create a brown "tiger skin". The meat slices wrapped in egg white are not dry or woody, and there is gravy inside. Bless the three of you. Smooth and tender.

One meat and three vegetarian dishes plus several kinds of fried rice that everyone likes. The combination is simple, but enough for four people to enjoy a delicious meal.

Soup rarely appears on the dinner table.

Gu Ke and Salanzhu's must-have iced ale every day in summer. Drink a big glass in the lake breeze, don't be too refreshing.

The two small ones have more tricks, iced juice and goat milk are yesterday's news.

Nowadays, they prefer to drink peanut milk, walnut milk, and red date and wolfberry milk.

These things are called "milk" and are actually plant protein drinks.

Gu Ke could make it with a soymilk machine in his last life. It's nothing more than adding more peanuts, walnuts, red dates and wolfberry to the soaked soybeans.

Mix together, smash and boil, filter out the residue, and other raw materials can cover up the beany smell of soy milk.

For example, the most common peanut milk in hot pot restaurants and Chuan Chuan Xiang restaurants has a distinct peanut aroma.

If you make it at home, the raw materials for the price of a bottle of peanut milk can make a large pot, enough for a family to drink for several days.

In addition to being easy to make and having many flavors, this type of drink also has the advantage that it has different flavors whether iced or hot.

Drinking iced drinks and eating hot pot in summer are just one word of enjoyment.

In winter, drink hot drinks and eat clear soup, which is warm, fragrant and mellow.

It was Gu Ke's favorite drink when he went out to eat in his previous life.

All the raw materials used to make it come from Sekirei Sentian, and the taste improvement brought by it is nothing more than incidental.

Anyway, Gu Ke doesn't lack this kind of output nowadays.

The corpses of the blood monsters and monster kings killed can be composted to produce materials for upgrading the Sekirei Immortal Field.

More than ten blood monsters and demon kings have died under his hands, enough for him to upgrade all the black earth fairy fields into red spirit fairy fields.

Xiantian's exclusive exotic crops grow slowly in the black soil Xiantian, and it often takes months or years to mature.

If planted in the Sekirei Immortal Field, the growth cycle can be reduced by half.

This will be of great help to Gu Ke in hoarding high-quality medicines and materials.

In addition, the Black and White Slayers and Little Monster Generals killed as "bonuses" can also be composted and processed to create a large amount of exclusive fertilizer.

There is no value in keeping these things in your hands. If you don't lack soul sources, you can use them early to produce benefits faster.

So after activating the spiritual spring, the remaining soul source smashed into the fairy field.

This brings the number of fairy fields in the cave to twelve, and all of them have been upgraded to red spirit fairy fields.

Since then, most fairy fields have been planted with perennial crops.

Only one area is reserved for rotating wheat, millet, millet, beans, and peanuts to provide the food needed by everyone in the cave.

After doing all this, it was already late July in the 514th year of Dawu.

The hot summer was coming to an end, the autumn harvest was completed, and the next season of Changbai fragrant rice was planted, and most of this year's farm work was done.

However, the temperature in the valley continued to be 30 degrees.

After having the spiritual spring, the two children and Saranzhu stayed by the big lake at the foot of the mountain for almost half the day.

In addition to the island in the middle of the lake, there were more than a dozen small houses by the lake for them to rest and not get bored.

Gu Ke was busy improving farm tools.

During the harvesting of 1,000 acres of ordinary fields this year, the civilian farm tools he made exposed some minor problems.

As a person who has gotten rid of vulgar interests, of course he has to think about the people and make good farm tools that can be used.

While he was busy, the rumbling sound like a mine-laying boat came, announcing the arrival of a vigorous guy in advance.

Gu Ke turned a deaf ear to it. Instead of letting her stop making noise, it would be easier to lower his hearing.

"Old Gu~~~" A somewhat coquettish greeting sounded, and Xiaoman jumped on his back and looked at the work in his hands.

He just hummed, suppressed his low taste, and maintained his appearance.

Xiaoman waited for a moment, and when he saw that the work in his hands had come to an end, he reported his purpose: "Azhu asked me to tell you that the transformation of the totem pole in Liangshan Village has been completed."

Gu Ke's eyes lit up, and he stood up suddenly and threw down the tools in his hand: "Really?"

Xiaoman smiled: "Really, really, really, ah~~~"

Before she spoke, Gu Ke had already taken off and quickly swept along the surface of the lake.

Xiaoman was carried away, but she laughed loudly, and hugged his neck tightly with both hands to prevent being thrown off.

On the other side of the lake, on a big rock under the shade of the tree, Saranzhu was hugging Xiao Ping'er and muttering something.

Xiao Ping'er's face was bloodshot, as if she had heard something incredible, and she subconsciously pushed Saranzhu with both hands, looking like "I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen".

But the force in her hand was obviously not strong enough, and her ears did not leave Saranzhu's mouth.

When she heard the laughter and saw Gu Ke and Xiaoman flying over from the other side of the lake, she was really anxious.

She pushed Saranzhu away and stood up. She tidied her hands on her body a few times, looking guilty.

Saranzhu also stood up, muttering: "Go, we will accompany you shopping first, and you can go with us to see it in the evening, how about it?"

Gu Ke finally landed with Xiaoman and glanced at Xiao Ping'er in confusion: "Are you hot?"

Xiao Ping'er understood what he was talking about, but just covered her face with her hands: "No, nothing."

When she glanced at Saranzhu, he understood: Saranzhu, the giant baby old driver, was probably using his "knowledge base" to drive the royal car again.
