Chapter 1926: Chapter 1924: Space
When her hand first touched it, it felt like she was going through a gentle stream of water, but it should have been air. Then when Gu Qiaoqiao touched the stone, a segment of information popped into her head; this was a Formation Stone.
Placed here, it formed a natural formation. Gu Qiaoqiao happily held the stone, thinking it was an excellent item. Soon she discovered that once the stone was removed, a fine stream of water began to flow gently from beneath the ground.
Could it be that this stone was suppressing the spring?
However, it couldn’t be called a spring; the water flow was too thin, like her little finger. But the next moment she realized that the water contained extremely rich Spiritual Energy.
Gu Qiaoqiao’s eyes lit up with joy, and she quickly called out to Qin Yize, "Ah Ze, bring two water bottles, come over here quickly."
Qin Yize had just finished cooking the noodles. They had brought hot water, so there was no need to boil more. With foresight, Qin Yize extinguished the fire. Hearing Gu Qiaoqiao’s call, he wasn’t startled, as he sensed she must have found something.
He casually placed the lid on the pot and strode over to Gu Qiaoqiao with water bottles in hand.
In a few dozen seconds, he was at Gu Qiaoqiao’s side, taking a deep breath. The two exchanged a glance; the Spiritual Energy here was abundant, even someone like Qin Yize could feel it.
Clearly, there had been nothing unusual just moments ago, except for the tranquil surroundings.
It was uncertain whether the water could be drunk, but it was rich in Spiritual Energy, though its source was unknown.
Gu Qiaoqiao took one of the water bottles from Qin Yize’s hand while the other remained in Qin Yize’s hand. It didn’t take long for them to fill both bottles.
Then, the speed of the water bubbling up slowed somewhat, and the stream grew thinner, seeming not to be endless.
Gu Qiaoqiao analyzed that it might be a Spiritual Energy-rich spring, somehow sealed off by someone. Perhaps the person who sealed it intended to return and use it again, but considering the surrounding signs, it was clear that no one had come here for many years.
If that’s the case, then the person who sealed the formation eye either forgot about it, or they were no longer around. Anyway, it truly was Gu Qiaoqiao’s advantage.
Gu Qiaoqiao had a thought, then sat down cross-legged, flashing a smile towards Qin Yize, "Watch over me, I might manage to cultivate a space today."
Qin Yize nodded earnestly, channeling all his attention to monitor the surroundings for Gu Qiaoqiao.
Perhaps it was all destined, and when the opportunity arrived, it was unstoppable; Gu Qiaoqiao successfully cultivated the space.
Once she cultivated the space, the Spirit Spring Water disappeared without a trace, and the surrounding Spiritual Energy vanished too, returning everything to its original, ordinary state.
Gu Qiaoqiao was extremely excited at this moment, eagerly observing her own space.
How to describe it—imagine there’s a wall in front of you, with a thickness of ten centimeters. However, there’s a drawer on this wall. Although the surface of the drawer might only be a few dozen centimeters, upon pulling it out, you’ll find it’s over 200 square meters in size.
This was the new space Gu Qiaoqiao cultivated, viewable within her consciousness.
The walls around were white, with no ceiling, and the floor was made of a white substance of unknown material.
It sparkled, not laid out like tiles, but in one complete piece across the ground, similar to a large mirror.
Above, at the top, seemed to swirl white mist, likely the Spiritual Energy supporting the space.
At this moment, Gu Qiaoqiao was so joyful; she danced like a child within her consciousness, but Qin Yize couldn’t see it, so Gu Qiaoqiao described it to him tirelessly.
Qin Yize, with a smile in his eyes, quietly listened. Although a bit shocked internally, it wasn’t entirely unexpected, as both of them were now unknowingly venturing deeper down this mystical path.
Gu Qiaoqiao’s intuition was now almost flawless. She smiled slightly at Qin Yize, took his hand, and the next moment, they stood within the space together.
However, it was Gu Qiaoqiao’s first time entering the space with Qin Yize, and in the next second, she came back out. After confirming there were no changes or abnormalities, she pulled Qin Yize back in again.
The two walked around the space; it was different from the world in the Hundred Miles of Mountains Map. That was a real world, while this was just a room for storing items, with nothing in it, but it was enough to make Gu Qiaoqiao immensely excited.
Gu Qiaoqiao felt this was her greatest achievement so far. Qin Yize looked at the floor material and the surroundings, knowing these things weren’t of this world, but since they appeared, they were permitted by the Heavenly Dao Rules, so there was no issue.
Despite their excitement, after ten minutes or so, they emerged hand in hand. This space belonged to Gu Qiaoqiao; only she could enter it.
Outside, they looked at each other. Qin Yize pinched Gu Qiaoqiao’s nose and laughed, "Let’s go, it’s time to eat, the noodles are overcooked."
Indeed, the noodles were really mushy.
Almost turning into noodle soup, but the two still relished the meal.
The Sika Deer nearby knew nothing, but keenly sensed that Gu Qiaoqiao had changed somewhat, so it instinctively stayed close to Gu Qiaoqiao.
With the space now available, everything became much more convenient. They thoroughly extinguished the fire, tidied up the area, and stored the water bottles and some large items in the space.
Gu Qiaoqiao carried a small bag, while Qin Yize carried a large one; although they had a lot to carry, once most of the items were placed in the space, they were truly traveling light.
The stone was also placed in the space by Gu Qiaoqiao.
Gu Qiaoqiao’s eyes were bright, and she pointed around, "The temperature here seems a few degrees higher than outside. Look how well those wildflowers are blooming, why don’t we dig some up and put them in the space?"
Gu Qiaoqiao’s voice carried uncertainty.
After all, this wasn’t in their own country. Transporting such plants and flowers back home wasn’t something done easily; it involved numerous checks and inspections.
It was thoroughly troublesome, and even with the space, she wasn’t sure if it was possible.
Each region had its own features.
For instance, in the far North of their homeland, during spring, a flower called the plum blossom would bloom. Even before the snow thawed, small plum blossoms would begin to open.
