Chapter 521 - 43: The First Mat (Part 2)
But once it contacts the soil, it seeps into the ground, exerting a much more moisturizing effect compared to ordinary water.
Its appearance is similar to that of mercury, and until today, Xiao Xian hadn’t figured out exactly how to use it. More often, she used it as a mixture for Iron-grade and copper items, promoting plant growth and treating various diseases.
However, today, when Xiao Xian saw the mat made by Mr. Yu, both she and Mao Dazhu were surprised.
However, their joy was not on the same level.
In Mao Dazhu’s eyes, the Black Purple Vine Bamboo Mat was a perfect bamboo product, which could be sold for a good price or hung in a mat shop as a decorative front display.
What Xiao Xian saw was the entire vine mat, not only the densely woven vines and the neat finishing, but she also saw the emotions that Mr. Yu had woven into the mat.
Mr. Yu wasn’t a Cultivator, which Xiao Xian could tell from his frost-white temples and increasingly clouded eyes, yet his body carried a special energy, like vitality or Spiritual Energy, which originally did not belong to him.
Xiao Xian didn’t know where they came from, but Mr. Yu’s body didn’t absorb them. So, as he wove the mat with utter sincerity and strong emotion, that peculiar power merged into the mat, making the vines more flexible and smoother.
That was indeed the true secret behind the exquisite perfection of Mr. Yu’s Black Purple Vine Mat. Unfortunately, at that time, no one realized it, not even Mr. Yu himself.
Upon realizing that Silver Space Water had additional uses, Xiao Xian had the idea of integrating Space Water with the Black Wisteria, weaving mats. As Mei Nian said, Xiao Xian was very weak, so weak that she was still hiding from Xu Family people, hesitating whether or not to look for several individuals from the Party Constitution.
Since she acquired her Space, whether it was the sugarcane seedling or the enhancement of the Space, everything went as smoothly as water flows in a channel.
She was like a child whose parents had arranged both a future path and a retreat, never knowing the taste of watching the scenery alone after leaving the palms of their parental guidance.
Experimenting with the Black Purple Vine Mat was her brave first step.
Xiao Xian picked up a vine of Black Purple Wisteria, while the Space Liquid in her hand was semi-suspended, and she tried to separate a drop of water from a handful.
The water was successfully separated. Xiao Xian’s goal was not yet achieved, that droplet-shaped Silver Space Water was carefully stretched, becoming longer and thinner, until it was as fine as a hair needle, and with a "hiss", it pierced into that Black Purple Vine.
When these Korean Black Wisteria were cut from their parent body and taken away from their homeland, they had lost their life. But at this moment, upon contact with the Space Water, they came back to life, stretching and lengthening like hair blown by the wind.
The Black Purple Vine, just over two inches longer than an arm, seemed to be growing and stretching, soon extending to twice its original length.
Xiao Xian set aside the Black Purple Vine processed by the Silver Space Water, and immediately started with the second and third ones. Except for the longer time taken with the first one, the "processing" went smoothly. The number of Black Purple Vines on the newspaper dwindled, while the pile beside them grew.
The new Black Purple Vines, each so distinct, were like iron forged through countless hammerings, revealing their toughness. They were also like the vivid black soil melted after the snow, so distinctive, each vine seemed alive, like the most robust blood vessels connected to the human heart, throbbing and waiting for a skilled surgeon to perform a bypass surgery.
The clock struck eleven, and all the Black Purple Vines had been infused with "Silver Space Water." Infusing Space Water into new materials was a task that drained much Spiritual Power. After completing all these, Xiao Xian was too exhausted to move, feeling as if her body was hollowed out, her eyelids were fighting each other, and weaving mats was now too overwhelming.
Xiao Xian leaned against the pile of Black Purple Vines, drowsily falling asleep. She heard Xuerou move a chair onto the balcony, making an "Eh" sound, and it seemed she gave a reminder that Xuerou acknowledged by placing a pillow and blanket next to Xiao Xian. However, Xiao Xian did not move, she just lay on the pile of Black Purple Vines charged with heartfelt effort, sinking into a dream filled with incessant clouds.
Inside the Space, Little White Jiao was performing its routine exercise, swimming from one end of the Silver-grade Space Lake to the other, which took about twenty minutes.
The sugarcane seedling’s buds suddenly emitted a burst of light, expanding slightly, as the hovering wasps joyfully circled the slightly loosened buds.
"Could it be another breakthrough? It’s unlikely. From Silver Grade to Gold Grade is a difficult transition, just like from Foundation Establishment to Nascent Soul, it’s not easy without fifty to a hundred years, especially since the little master is so lazy, not even properly absorbing Spiritual Power," Little White Jiao mumbled while swimming, still not seeing the "Silver-grade Space Lake’s" earthen shore.
If it were still human, it would probably rub its eyes for a clearer look. But since it’s a dragon, it could only scratch its head with its claw, "Am I seeing things? How come the shore seems to be moving?"
Little White Jiao wasn’t hallucinating, its vision was superb. The soil inside the Space didn’t move; what moved was the "Silver Space Water," the lake’s surface area had expanded.
