I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World

Chapter 753: Chapter 699: ’Water’ Cultivation (Vote for Yue)

The water from the gourd was poured into a pot, and various sliced and dried herbs were thrown in one by one.

”Fortunately, the weather has been nice lately, allowing us to dry these herbs. Otherwise, we would have had to buy someone else’s refined elixirs.”

”Dad, shouldn’t we hurry and dry some more? Usually, it’s sunny for just a day or two before it starts raining nonstop for a month or two. The opposite shore has been flooded for over two years.”

The opposite shore?

Could it be the west bank of the Seven Stars River, where the Heavenly Star Sect is located?

Jiang Yuebai pondered. Was there such a boon?

”Yes, luckily, we are on higher ground, and the Sect Master of the Heavenly Interence Sect is kind and foresighted. He built dams and flood defenses in advance, sparing us from disaster.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuebai couldn’t help but admire, ”Worthy of being my master, so visionary!”

Jiang Yuebai ’saw’ a young face leaning over the pot’s top, stirring the herbs with a wooden spoon.

Comparing to the face of this six- or seven-year-old girl, Jiang Yuebai realized that her current ’body’, if it can even be called a body, was perhaps no bigger than a fingernail, merely a feeble little droplet of water.

How should a droplet of water cultivate?

Was her goal to grow from a small droplet into a river?

Jiang Yuebai fell into contemplation, instinctively wanting to ask someone, but there was only water without any spiritual sense around her. She couldn’t speak, and transmitting divine thoughts... the distance was too far, and she didn’t know if a small droplet could connect with the divine sense of a person.

What if she spoke and was mistaken for a spirit monster?

The little girl had a Qi Refining Second Layer cultivation, her father was at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer.

Couldn’t win, couldn’t win, better be cautious, better be cautious!

The sound of breaking firewood was heard.

”Dad, let me start the fire. I’ve learned the Fireball Technique.”

”Alright, but be careful not to blow up the pot.”

Blow up the pot?!

The tiny droplet shuddered, causing ripples to spread across the pot, and Jiang Yuebai hurriedly collided with and moved past the gigantic-to-her herb fragments, trying hard to swim to the edge of the pot.

Even the small Fireball Technique could cause her great harm. She still didn’t know if Immortal Monarch Chongmin had left her with any protective measures.

If not, would her divine sense be doomed if she was burned to ashes by the Fireball Technique?

Although it wouldn’t kill her, it would damage her divine soul!

Right now, she didn’t possess a Merfolk Pearl, such a treasure, and it would take an extremely long time to recover her divine soul from damage.

Jiang Yuebai attempted to jump out, but she couldn’t make herself leap or fly. The tiny droplet seemed to weigh a ton.

Boom!

To Jiang Yuebai, it was as if the sky was darkened, yet it was merely a fist-sized fireball that grazed the bottom of the pot, colliding with the furnace and igniting the firewood.

It didn’t blow up the pot, which made Jiang Yuebai sigh in relief, but soon after, she felt lighter as her body began to vaporize with the continued heating.

Darn!

Jiang Yuebai didn’t want to be boiled into steam and dissipate like smoke. She quickly looked around and noticed many tiny particles dispersing rapidly from the herb fragments as the water temperature rose, appearing rather ’heavy’.

Jiang Yuebai promptly used her divine sense to draw those tiny herb particles, stuffing them all into her droplet body, and sure enough, the vaporization of her body slowed, no longer dispersing.

But... she changed color!

From a pure transparent color to a brownish hue, the different herb particles originally didn’t mix, but once she incorporated them into her body, they all merged into one.

Water nourishes all things without contention.

Jiang Yuebai suddenly had a more profound, intuitive understanding of this phrase. As water, she could ’see’ this fusion process more clearly.

As she continuously incorporated herb particles into her body, her volume also increased. The surrounding water, lacking awareness and unable to integrate the herb particles, evaporated into mist and drifted away.

Jiang Yuebai carefully experienced this process. Unbeknownst to her, the Kunpeng Eye, originally placed inside her body to integrate with the Lotus Platform, began merging slowly with her Chaos Body, similar to the herb particles, causing an imperceptible change in her Chaos Body.

Gurgle~ gurgle~

The water in the pot gradually decreased, becoming deeper in color and more viscous. Jiang Yuebai devoured and absorbed all the herb particles she could, integrating those that could be integrated, and discarding those that couldn’t.

After an unknown period, a soft exclamation came from overhead.

”Dad, come look quickly, is this pot of medicine spoiled?”

The little girl and her dad both leaned their heads overhead. Her dad said, ”Yes, why, it looks just like Alchemy, turning into a paste. If it keeps boiling, won’t it become an elixir?”
