Chapter 2343: Chapter 2340: Hidden Seawell
“Yay, the water is coming…” Xiao Manxuan and Yan Lingling cheered and jumped down happily, as the splashes fell like raindrops on them, soaking their clothes in no time.
Lin Tian turned his head to look, unable to tear his gaze away. The thin garments became semi-transparent after being drenched, revealing pink underwear and their delicate figures.
Xiao Manxuan quickly noticed the situation, glared at Lin Tian, and hurriedly pulled Yan Lingling ashore, who still didn’t know what was happening.
The water in the pool increased, and after releasing pressure, the water column gradually descended. Lin Tian also jumped ashore. By this time, Yan Lingling had already used her power to dry their clothes, also helping Xiao Manxuan.
The three watched as the water level slowly rose. In the end, it surpassed the pool’s edge, overflowing and flowing gently along the low-lying areas.
At this moment, the emerging water column was completely invisible. It submerged into the water, with only the surface showing signs of bubbling. The pool now turned entirely into a spring eye, no smaller than the Yun Family’s Sea Eye.
“This is a hidden Sea Eye, pressed underground by a large millstone stone. Judging by the mountain trends, it should belong to the same underground water system as the Yun Family’s Sea Eye,” Lin Tian said excitedly, sensing the water vapor.
“It seems this place isn’t as ordinary as it appears on the surface. It was just waiting for an owner. With the reappearance of the Sea Eye, Brother Lin Tian is now its master,” Yan Lingling said happily.
Lin Tian was very satisfied. He didn’t expect to find a Sea Eye while reclaiming the land, so he smiled and said, “Should we build a medicinal field around the Sea Eye next?”
“That’s right. Remove the weeds, divide it with water channels, and arrange it according to the Five Elements…” Yan Lingling guided Lin Tian in drawing the medicine field, sketching on the ground.
In no time, a map appeared on the ground, with the Sea Eye in the center, surrounded by patches of medicine fields. They were arranged in Eight Diagram positions with the Sea Eye as the center, with water channels weaving through them.
The medicine fields were still, while the Sea Eye and channels were dynamic. The combination of movement and stillness, the transformation of the Five Elements, Lin Tian could almost see a spectacular medicinal field covering the entire valley.
“The workload seems significant, but with our strength and Little Snow’s, I’m confident we can complete the transformation soon,” Lin Tian said confidently.
Chirp…
Little Snow chirped in agreement, eager to get started.
“Then let’s begin…” Xiao Manxuan announced the commencement.
According to Yan Lingling’s request, the first step was to remove weeds. In fact, with Lin Tian’s skills, he could clear all the weeds and shrubs in the valley alone. With purple flames, all weeds would burn away.
However, Yan Lingling stopped him. According to her, purple flames were too fierce; they would remove the weeds but also destroy the soil.
The power of fire would leave destruction in its wake. Lin Tian realized that the saying wasn’t just for show. Where purple flames swept through, it became a wasteland, unsuitable for planting medicinal herbs.
Without fire, they had to pull out the weeds manually. Fortunately, Lin Tian was skilled at pulling weeds. Transforming the Heavenly Tribulation Sword into a small hoe, he loosened the soil and uprooted the grass.
“Master, it’s not that I’m criticizing you, but to turn the prestigious Heavenly Tribulation Sword into a hoe for weeding… If word got out, as the Sword Spirit of the Heavenly Tribulation Sword, I’d be ridiculed by my peers,” the Sword Spirit protested strongly.
“What do you know? Labor is most honorable. Farmers remove weeds and cultivate fields, supporting millions with their hard work, including your former master, King Arthur. Without farming, we’d all be starving,” Lin Tian earnestly lectured.
“Although modern agriculture is mechanized, we can’t forget the glorious traditions of the Huaxia people, right?” Lin Tian continued, in a heartfelt manner, educating the spirit, “You royalty tend to think highly of yourselves, but you still eat the grains and cereals, probably using the bathroom like ordinary people too.”
“Master, you’ve rendered me speechless, but… are you sure Little Snow’s way of working is considered diligent?” the Sword Spirit weakly retorted.
Lin Tian turned to look at Little Snow, who used its claws to continuously dig, uprooting grass and shrubs. Occasionally finding a round stone, it would play with it for half a day out of curiosity.
“Cough, cough…” Lin Tian coughed twice to conceal his embarrassment, “Well, working has different styles. Little Snow belongs to the wild style, while playing with stones can be considered a balance of work and rest… Okay, I can’t make this up anymore.”
“Alright, first, the master is always right. Second, if the master is wrong, refer to the first rule,” the Sword Spirit said helplessly.
With the diligent efforts of the three people and one hawk, the valley’s weeds and shrubs were quickly cleared, and it was already noon.
Although the three were dusty, they felt a sense of achievement. Building the medicine fields with their own hands, the feeling of harvesting was indescribable.
“Little Snow, you’re more familiar with the mountain than we are. Go pick some wild fruits to fill our stomachs,” the three didn’t plan to return to school as they couldn’t order takeout here. They had to “live off the land.”
Little Snow flew away and soon returned with an entire tree branch clutched in its talons, covered in green wild fruits. Finding fruits in this season wasn’t easy.
Xiao Manxuan and Yan Lingling, unlike the Sword Spirit, weren’t particular. Having food was enough. They washed and soaked the fruits in the cool Sea Eye Water before biting into one, finding it crisp and refreshing.
Though initially slightly bitter when chewed, a sweet aftertaste soon filled their mouths. They were truly magical wild fruits.
Hungry, they ate wild fruits, and when thirsty, they drank spring water. This was how Lin Tian and the others managed their lunch.
“Ling’er, is the next step to start the water channels?” Xiao Manxuan eagerly asked.
Normally, with a girl’s physical strength and stamina, working non-stop all morning would tire her out. However, aside from a slightly sweaty forehead, Xiao Manxuan was full of energy and vitality.
Lin Tian knew the reason. Since resolving the exotic energy issue, her physique had improved daily. Coupled with practicing the Burning Sky Technique, her strength surpassed ordinary people.
“Yes, the spring water must irrigate the medicine fields, but it shouldn’t entirely slip through the channels. Therefore, the channels need to be built with stone,” Yan Lingling pointed to the stones Lin Tian had dug up, explaining.
Afterwards, she demonstrated by digging a section of water channel and lining the base and sides with stones. This way, the spring water wouldn’t carry away the sediment.
“You guys follow my method,” Yan Lingling instructed.
The three and one hawk started working again. Lin Tian and Little Snow dug water channels according to the “blueprints.” Yan Lingling and Xiao Manxuan transported stones to line the channels.
With their teamwork, the work became effortless. As Lin Tian, the others, and Little Snow continued the construction, a main water channel emerged from the Sea Eye, extending into the distance. Several branch channels wound around the Sea Eye, forming the preliminary structure of a medicine garden!
