“Bang!”
“Bang!”
Under the giant waterfall, low, muffled sounds occasionally began to emanate during this period.
However, these low, muffled sounds were drowned out by the falling water of the giant waterfall.
He Xiuyuan sat cross-legged beneath the waterfall, his expression thoughtful as he watched the continuous failures of his Spell.
“Strange, why does it repeatedly fail? Is it because this kind of Dao method cannot be realized?”
He Xiuyuan had never been exposed to other Dao methods. His current idea of condensing a drop of water weighing ten thousand jun was entirely his own.
These consecutive failures made He Xiuyuan ponder.
Was his Dao cultivation not enough when he condensed this drop of water? Or was it impossible to cast a new Dao method out of thin air?
He Xiuyuan scratched his head, feeling that if he didn't figure out the key to this, he might not be able to condense this drop of water at all.
And just as He Xiuyuan was pondering, he suddenly heard a faint rustling sound from the side.
Hearing movement nearby, He Xiuyuan immediately turned his head and saw a Little Panda had appeared at some point.
This Little Panda, however, seemed a bit dazed. It had no idea where it had broken off a few bamboo shoots and fruits, and it was currently eating them with great relish.
He Xiuyuan was feeling a bit annoyed, but looking at the Little Panda’s adorable appearance, he couldn't help but smile.
After thinking for a moment, He Xiuyuan took a step forward, directly took a fruit from the Little Panda’s side, then took it to the Pond, washed it, and began to eat it.
The Little Panda beside him watched He Xiuyuan snatch the fruit directly from its paw and start eating it.
Seeing this scene, it was momentarily stunned, looking at He Xiuyuan blankly, probably not expecting He Xiuyuan to snatch its things.
After confirming that its fruit had indeed been snatched away, the Little Panda immediately wiggled its body, swung its thick, long tail, and crawled towards He Xiuyuan.
At this moment, its cute little face was full of displeasure, and it was making very dissatisfied chirping sounds.
He Xiuyuan found the scene quite amusing.
Seeing the Little Panda approach, then stand upright as if to pounce on him, he chuckled wryly.
After thinking for a moment, He Xiuyuan extended his hand, then gathered a wisp of Spiritual Qi to his fingertip, and gently tapped the Little Panda’s brow.
“Alright, alright, I won’t eat it for nothing.”
“This bit of Spiritual Qi should be enough to exchange for your fruit, right?”
He Xiuyuan’s fingertip, filled with Spiritual Qi, gently touched the Little Panda’s forehead.
After receiving this bit of Spiritual Qi, the Little Panda was momentarily stunned, then looked at He Xiuyuan with a hint of confusion in its eyes.
The slight anger from before had vanished at this moment.
Then, the Little Panda acted as if nothing had happened, turning around and walking back.
He Xiuyuan looked at this scene, shaking his head with a smile, then biting into the fruit in his hand, while pondering the problem he had just faced.
After pondering for a moment, He Xiuyuan continued to cast the Spell and try again.
No matter what, he couldn’t just give up because of a temporary failure.
After He Xiuyuan recovered some Spiritual Qi, a dull thud sounded again a moment later.
Perhaps the sound of the waterfall was too loud; the Little Panda beside him, hearing the commotion, wasn’t startled at all.
Or perhaps the Little Panda's reaction was too slow, so it didn't take the commotion to heart.
He Xiuyuan, however, frowned and continued to try and condense the water drop.
........
“Bang!”
That’s not right, why is it still failing?
With my Spell, flowing naturally, it shouldn't fail, right?
He Xiuyuan looked at the water drop that continued to explode, pondered for a moment, and then continued to cast the Spell.
.......
Bang!
A huge roar sounded, and even the cascading waterfall temporarily paused at this moment.
The Spell to condense the water drop failed, but the power of the explosion was several times greater than before.
......
“Bang!”
A dull roar sounded again, and He Xiuyuan’s body flew backward from the impact.
After stabilizing himself, He Xiuyuan looked at the direction of the waterfall in surprise, seemingly pondering something.
......
Thump!
Beneath the Pond, it was as if some giant object was slowly pushing up the heavy water surface. After the water surface formed a huge arc, it then burst open, stirring up countless splashes.
He Xiuyuan sighed.
Still not working…
He Xiuyuan looked at the huge Pond, a troubled expression on his face.
As expected, it was too difficult for him to figure out this Spell on his own without being given a Dao method.
No, it should be said, extremely difficult.
He had been here for at least half a month, but all his time was spent on trying to figure out this Spell, yet he still couldn’t grasp the key.
“Where exactly did it go wrong?”
He Xiuyuan rubbed his brow, recalling the process of his Spell, always feeling that he hadn't done anything wrong.
Chirp chirp!
As He Xiuyuan pondered where he had gone wrong with the Spell, the Little Panda beside him suddenly started chirping.
He Xiuyuan heard the sound and turned his head, seeing the Little Panda, in a very good mood, carrying a few small bamboo shoots as it walked over.
Ever since this little fellow discovered that the food it brought was safe to enjoy here, it had been coming here with food every day.
Although He Xiuyuan usually snatched its food, He Xiuyuan ultimately didn't harm it and occasionally gave it some Spiritual Qi.
Although this Spiritual Qi was not enough for it to Cultivate or gain sentience.
But at the very least, this Spiritual Qi could still have some nourishing effect on its body.
After a while, the Little Panda and He Xiuyuan became quite familiar with each other.
He Xiuyuan, seeing the huffing and puffing Little Panda beside him, immediately got up and walked over, directly taking a few fruits from its paws and starting to eat them.
And surprisingly, the fruits this little fellow found were all quite sweet and tasted very good.
The Little Panda saw He Xiuyuan snatching its fruit again, and immediately looked at He Xiuyuan with its somewhat silly and cute face, expressing its displeasure.
He Xiuyuan saw this and paid it no mind, even casually kneading the little fellow’s face.
“Tell me, why do my Spells always fail?”
He Xiuyuan asked in a low voice while rubbing the Little Panda’s face.
“That line from the Moral Classic is very good.”
“The great rivers and seas are able to be the Kings of the hundred valleys, because they skillfully stay below them; therefore, they are the Kings of the hundred valleys.”
“I use the Sky Abyss, borrow the geographical advantage, draw in all waters, and cast water Spells, why does it not work?”
He Xiuyuan said, directly picking up the Little Panda and speaking to it helplessly.
“My action should be in line with the Great Dao, so why do my Spells always fail?”
He Xiuyuan said with a helpless expression.
And his words, falling into the Little Panda’s ears, made the Little Panda listen with a somewhat bewildered understanding.
